Chapter 35 Gourd Soup(1/2)
Seeing this, everyone was jealous, laughed, and sarcastic voices started to sound. At this time, Gu Meichun walked out of the big room wearing a neat cotton-padded jacket.
He had an angry look on his face, and there was still viciousness in his eyes.
"Niu Dawang, why don't you urinate and look in the mirror? You are a thirty-year-old bachelor. I can fall in love with you at such a young age. You broke into my house privately and stole the handkerchief I put on the table. You are a thief and should be sent to me."
The pig cage is soaked in the back mountain."
This damn thing can kill a thousand swords.
He actually stole her handkerchief in the house.
"Yes, how could a child do such a thing?"
"You're not young anymore, it's time to get engaged."
"No one knows that Erpizi is a scoundrel. We can somewhat believe his words, but he broke into Meichun girl's house in the middle of the night. Meichun girl is also pitiful."
"That's right, you have to close the gate tightly in the future to avoid being noticed by thieves."
The crowd's voice was loud and could be heard by everyone around. Widow Luo felt a little scared. Tang Ningning thought of her three children at home and gave up on watching the fun.
At night, the weather is cold.
Many people looked at this scoundrel and were very upset and went home.
Tang Ningning glanced at Niu Dawang who was jumping around. When she saw someone coming out of the Niu family next door, she said, "Let's go back. It's too cold."
Widow Luo waved her hand, "You go back first, I want to see how this Wang Caihua behaves like a rogue."
Tang Ningning kept her children at home in mind, so she went back first.
The moon is bright and the snow is slightly cool.
Tang Ningning jogged all the way back home.
I opened the door carefully and found the three children sleeping soundly.
She didn't go to Zhou's house to check on Gu Han, the boy. Nothing would happen to him.
That night, Tang Ningning slept very soundly.
When I woke up the next day, the snow had already begun to melt.
Tang Ningning put on her clothes and left the yard.
First, he took off the door bolt. Before he reached Zhou's house, he saw Gu Han coming home.
"Why did you get up so early?"
Tang Ningning took Gu Han's hand and took him home.
"Master Wen snores and I can't sleep."
Tang Ningning, "----"
A ray of sunshine has slowly risen from the horizon, bringing warmth to this cold winter.
Tang Ningning finished clearing the snow in the yard and piled it into a small hill.
After feeding the chickens, I boiled a pot of hot water with the help of little girl Gu Yan.
When several children come together, they can wash themselves.
Wen Qilin also rushed over when the sun was shining on his buttocks, washed his face with warm water, and began to sit down to eat.
“Breakfast is so light?”
This girl considers this place her home.
Wen Qilin said, "You're welcome. Eat them all. What are you watching me do?"
---
Tang Ningning took a bite of the steamed bun and asked casually, "Mr. Wen, look at the day, there won't be road closures tomorrow. It's time for you to go back to town."
If I don't go back, I guess everyone in my family should report to the government.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qilin said dissatisfied, "It's good here, I don't even want to go back."
Dad only has business and officialdom in his eyes.
Whatever he does, he will be scolded.
It's better to live carefree in this small mountain village.
"Let's go to the mountains again today. There must be hares in the mountains."
The snow has just gone away, so the mountains are probably slippery.
Tang Ningning glanced at the vegetables in the basket and said, "Let's go into the mountains again tomorrow. We still have enough food at home."
After dinner, Wen Qilin taught Gu Han how to practice martial arts, while Tang Ningning took some money and went to Li Zheng's house.
Before the Chinese New Year, I bought the land deed with Li Zheng, which saved me many long nights and dreams.
Along the way, I saw several talkative women in the village muttering under the trees on the road about what happened at the Gu family's old house last night, and they talked about everything.
Not a single good word anyway.
When we arrived at Li Zheng's house, the family was having breakfast.
Seeing Tang Ningning, Li Zheng warmly invited her to dinner.
The Li Zheng family has a large population, with some elders and younger ones. However, both of them are capable and keep the house in good order.
Tang Ningning declined the meal, greeted Li Zheng's wife, and made her purpose clear.
Li Zheng's house has a lobby for receiving guests.
When the two of them entered, the stove was already burning.
Warm.
"This matter is not difficult to handle. It's all land that no one wants. After two days of walking, I will go to the town to write a document for you, and the land will be yours."
"How much silver is needed?"
Hearing this, Li Zheng was embarrassed for a moment, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Five taels."
Tang Ningning has learned about land prices in ancient times, and the asking price here is not high.
Not to mention the two pieces of land near her home are several acres in size.
Compared to modern times, it's simply amazing.
"Okay." Tang Ningning immediately confirmed.
Li Zheng was surprised for a moment, then thought about it, it seems that selling braised meat makes a lot of money.
"Okay, wait until I go to the town to register, hand over the money, and then get the title deed back to you."
Tang Ningning hurriedly handed over the money and gave Li Zheng three more coins as payment for running errands.
"Oh, you are so polite." Satozheng put away the money with a smile.
Tang Ningning smiled and chatted a few more words.
In the middle of winter, we can’t let others go in vain.
It's easier to do things if you give me money.
After leaving Li Zheng's house, Tang Ningning walked in the village and felt inexplicably relieved as she looked at the village after the snow melted.
She walked to the back mountain and found a secluded place.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in this place, he quickly entered the space.
However, in just a few days, the peppers had grown into quite large red peppers. Tang Ningning picked up the bamboo knife on the ground, cut off the base of the pepper, and used the knife to cut close to the inner wall of the pepper and rotate it.
Completely separate the pepper skin and seeds.
Then the separated pepper seeds are buried in the soil of the space.
I believe that the peppers will grow out soon.
She surrounded a space and planned to use it to plant pepper seeds, and moved the remaining monk fruit and konjac to a corner, thus freeing up a lot of space.
Touching the three taels of silver on the ground, Tang Ningning felt a little painful.
Thinking that the road was almost clear, I felt quite relieved.
As long as she can go to town, she can definitely make enough money to support several children with her skills.
Out of space.
Tang Ningning walked around the back hill for a while, when suddenly she heard a sneeze.
In this winter, who comes from behind?
She walked towards the source of the sound.
In the bamboo forest on the mountain, I saw a man in black robes warming his hands over a fire. His face was pale from the cold, and his white hands were glowing red.
