When Ye Xiwen was eight years old, she was sent to the Lin family to work as a maid with her sister Ye Wenyin. She could only go home for a few days a year and was somewhat unfamiliar with her family members.
As far as I can remember, this brother never did anything serious except asking for money from his family...
A few days ago, Ye Xiwen talked to her sister about the topic of selling children.
Now, she was really worried that her brother would secretly sell her and her sister...
·
"Brother is here to take you home."
Chu Qi looked down at Ye Xiwen, who was not even as tall as her chest, and saw her pitiful appearance as she grabbed her sleeve, and her heart softened.
She held Ye Xiwen's hand and spoke softly while walking towards the street:
"Come with me, everyone is waiting for us at home."
When passing by the vegetable market, Chu Qi asked the two sisters to follow her and went in to pick out three pounds of pork.
Then he took the pork and bought some cabbage seeds, spinach seeds, and red and white radish seeds.
I don’t know if there are few vegetables here or if it’s the same all over the country, but Chu Qi has found these vegetables that are suitable for growing in cold weather.
There is about a month left before winter. If you buy it now, it will be just right for winter.
After thinking about it, Chu Qi went to buy another fifty kilograms of millet.
Ye Wenyin quickly said:
"Brother, let me get the pork."
Three pounds wasn't very heavy, so Chu Qi handed it to her.
Seeing her sister and brother taking things, Ye Xiwen quickly spoke up:
"Brother, give me the vegetable seeds."
"Okay, here you go." Chu Qi smiled and handed her the vegetable seeds wrapped in cheap paper.
Considering that he had bought a lot of things, Chu Qi discussed with the donkey cart driver at the city gate and chartered a cart to go back to Zhang Village.
After getting on the donkey cart, Chu Qi discovered that there was a red pepper inside the cart.
Chili is one of Chu Qi's favorite ingredients.
Looking at the driver driving in front, Chu Qi leaned forward and asked:
"Driver, where did you get this red pepper?"
The driver was a young man in his twenties. Hearing this, he looked at the road seriously without turning his head and said:
"Red peppers? Are you talking about the pot of red peppers?"
Talking about this, he chuckled:
"My second uncle brought it to me from another county. I have always loved growing flowers and plants."
"You raised it for viewing?" Chu Qi was a little surprised.
Chu Qi didn't see any varieties of peppers for sale in this vegetable market, and thought that the Gan Dynasty had not introduced them. It turned out that they were planted as ornamental flowers.
"Of course I'm looking at it. Do you want to eat it?"
"I really want to eat it," Chu Qi said sincerely, "Can you sell me this pot of peppers?"
The driver's pupils dilated in shock, and he turned around to look at the young man who said something shocking:
"Chili peppers are spicy and unpalatable. Eating them can cause poisoning. You should think twice."
"I just love this one. Please, can you sell it to me?" Chu Qi's expression became more sincere.
Seeing that he was determined and couldn't wait to test the poison, the driver nodded and said:
"Well, my second uncle has plenty of them anyway. If you want them, I'll sell them to you."
Because it was not a rare plant, the driver did not ask for more and only charged fifteen copper coins.
At first, when Ye Wenyin heard her brother expressing curiosity about the flower, she was able to remain calm. But when she heard that her brother wanted to eat the flower, she could no longer remain calm.
Her expression was indescribable:
"Brother, do you really want to eat this? If you are too hungry, you can eat more meat tonight..."
I won't be so hungry that I'll eat flowers...
“You don’t understand, this is good stuff.”
Chu Qi said mysteriously, holding the newly bought red pepper, smelling the light spicy smell of the red pepper, her heart was filled with joy.
I never expected that a random donkey cart driver would have such a good thing.
So when Chu Qi returned home, he carried fifty kilograms of rice on his back and held a pot of "flowers" full of blooming peppers in his hands.
The Ye family was busy building a new house at this time, especially Ye Youze, who was the most diligent and kept making mud bricks.
In the sunshine, he was wearing brown shorts, his thick long hair was casually tied with a rope, and his dark face was covered with sweat.
It was such tiring work, but he did it with a smile.
Because, this is building a new home.
It seems that ever since I was confident that I would pass the examination to become a Tongsheng, things at home have been getting better and better.
New houses are now being built.
Seeing his grandmother and mother smiling more and more, Ye Youze was grateful to his younger brother from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't been so good at making money and so smart, the family wouldn't be so good.
and.....
Even his wife was found by me...
Ye Youze wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Zhuang Qiuling sitting under the shade of the tree. His heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.
Zhuang Qiuling seemed to sense something. She saw her husband secretly glancing at her while he was working, and she couldn't help but turn her face away shyly.
Ye Zhang was old and wanted to help mix mud and make mud bricks under the sun, but Ye Youze and Huang Ying strongly opposed it. So she regretfully gave up the idea of working under the sun.
Unable to help with the heavy work, she went back to the kitchen, boiled some hot water, poured it into a bamboo tube, then soaked the bamboo tube in cold water, let the hot water cool down, and brought it out for everyone to drink.
Although Zhuang Qiuyi is only a nine-year-old child, he has been very active in his work during the year he has been in the Ye family, and is now kneading the mud in an extremely professional manner.
There was no other way. He had no relatives or friends with the Ye family. He could only live here because his sister married Ye Youze. He had to work harder to repay her.
Chu Qi returned to the Ye family at noon.
