Chapter 262
Xu Jiaojiao also met Liao Honghai with courtesy. Not to mention the future, when a junior meets an elder, they naturally need to meet with courtesy.
Liao Honghai naturally praised, "Good girl, why haven't we seen you for a long time? You have lost a lot of weight!"
Mrs. Xu Zhang smiled and said, "She has grown up. This girl used to eat a lot and didn't like to exercise. Now she eats less and likes to run around. She lost weight all of a sudden. I used to feel sorry for her."
Yes, let’s go with her now, anyway, Jiaojiao is a lucky baby, it doesn’t matter whether she is fat or thin, they are both beautiful.”
Ms. Liao on the side said, "That's not true! I didn't misjudge this doll Jiaojiao. I liked her before, and I like her even more now. She is a blessed and good child. Recently I heard that Jiaojiao has made hundreds of dollars.
All the kilograms of loquat wine have been sold out? It cost dozens of taels of silver, right? Our family, Liao Qing, is truly blessed to have such a beautiful and capable daughter."
Xu Jiaojiao looked shy.
Mrs. Xu Zhang laughed out loud, "Wherever, our Jiaojiao is so embarrassed. If we continue to praise her, she will find a crack in the ground to crawl through. No more gossip, let me talk about the business. I'll find the big brother.
I really want to ask for something..."
Bang bang, the reason for coming was mentioned.
Xu Jiaojiao was so shy that she glanced over and saw Liao Qing, who was sharpening his sickle with great energy.
He has a slender figure with a broad back and waist. The weather is hot and the work is hot. His shirt is half open, revealing some strong abdominal muscles.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Well, this guy has a pretty good figure.
In modern terms, it means to look thin when dressed, and to look fleshy when undressed.
Liao Qing caught Xu Jiaojiao's gaze and just finished sharpening a sickle, so he stopped working and walked up to greet Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao.
Mrs. Xu Zhang agreed and responded to him with a smile, "You are busy, you are busy, it doesn't interfere with your business."
Liao Qing said yes and stood next to Xu Jiaojiao, listening to what Xu Zhang and the others were talking about.
Xu Jiaojiao disliked him, stood a little further away, and muttered something in a low voice, smelling of sweat.
Liao Qing made up his mind.
After a few seconds, he decided it would suit him better to go back and sharpen his scythe.
Mrs. Xu Zhang and Mr. Liao explained the purpose of their visit, "I just thought, big brother, you have traveled all over the country before. I don't know if you have been to Bingyang City. You can tell us Jiaojiao and give her some experience."
Before Liao Honghai could speak, Mrs. Liao spoke first, "Why do Jiaojiao want to go to Bingyang City? It's the autumn harvest season. If you don't help at home, what are you doing outside?"
"Go out with her scholar brother to have a long experience. His scholar brother happened to have something to do in Bingyang City, so he took the children at home to go out and see the people. We don't have much land at home, so we will spend some money to invite the neighbors.
Help me, I can get it back without much trouble. Autumn harvest happens every year, and the opportunity to gain knowledge is not always available, so I thought about letting her go out to see if there would be more ways to sell loquat ointment, loquat wine, etc. in the future.
"This is the most decent and reasonable explanation that Xu Zhang could come up with after racking his brains.
Mr. Liao said oh.
Here Liao Honghai recalled, "I have been to Bingyang City, but it has been a long time. Bingyang City is also called Bingyang State. It is a big city, a big trading city, where big businessmen who travel all over the country gather.
, Jiaojiao, if you want to go there to gain some knowledge, you have found the right place. There are a lot of outsiders in Bingyang Prefecture. However, the temperature there is very low, so you should wear more clothes and bring a cotton-padded jacket. There is nothing wrong with us here all year round.
, they only have two seasons a year, and now it is estimated that it is about to enter the cold winter. The locals are all wearing big fur coats, and the food and drink there are all spicy and sour beard soup. More than half of the people live in the north. After all, it is a northern region...
"
Liao Honghai's memories became clearer and clearer, and he talked a lot.
It's been a long time since he worked as a salesman. Those were his green years.
No one had ever told him such a thing before. As soon as the conversation started, he started talking very enthusiastically.
Liao Qing had already sharpened the second sickle. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Jiaojiao looking fascinated. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Where is she going?
Bingyang State?
Going with Xu Darong?
Well, I asked him if he agreed?
The more Liao Honghai talked and the more detailed he was, the happier Xu Zhang was.
"Jiaojiao, have you listened? Uncle Liao told you to pay attention. Going out is no joke, it's not easy..."
Xu Jiaojiao hummed a few times, "Thank you, uncle."
When he was about to finish speaking, Mrs. Xu Zhang was also ready to leave.
Liao Qing, who was sharpening his sickle over there, came over again at some point.
"Dad, no matter how detailed you say it, Jiaojiao may not remember it. Why don't you go with me and act as a half-guide for her? Didn't you say that I picked it up in Bingyang Prefecture when I was a child? I
Maybe there are still memories..."
Liao Honghai suddenly looked at his daughter-in-law Liao with embarrassment. Liao's face had darkened.
Mr. Liao couldn't hear what Liao Qing said about his life experience, so he asked his mother.
When I think about Liao Honghai having a son with another woman outside and bringing him back to raise him, she can no longer pretend to be a loving mother and a filial son.
Mrs. Xu Zhang could not care about the mood of Liao Honghai and his wife at this time!
She heard Liao Qing say that accompanying Xu Jiaojiao to Bingyang Prefecture made her face shine!
He said excitedly, "Hey, Mr. Liao Qing, it would be great if you could go with Jiaojiao. Really, I didn't think of that. Liao Qing, you go with our Jiaojiao, that's it."
We agreed! Jiaojiao will also be very happy, right Jiaojiao..."
Xu Jiaojiao:...Can she say that she is unhappy?
emmm! I don’t seem to object. It would be good to have Liao Qing as a bodyguard or something. At least this bodyguard is good at skills. The most important thing is that he is good-looking.
Seeing Xu Zhang's behavior, Liao temporarily put aside her resentment towards Liao Honghai.
She smiled and said, "I also want Liao Qing to follow Jiaojiao to protect Jiaojiao. Liao Qing is Jiaojiao's fiancé, so it's right for him to go out with him. However, the autumn harvest is about to happen at home, and his father is old.
His brother is still young, so except for him who can take charge of the job, the rest belong to his daughter’s family..."
Mrs. Xu Zhang took Ms. Liao's hand and said affectionately, "My eldest sister, you have thought carefully. I know that if it is the autumn harvest, then you can rest assured. Our family plans to hire workers for the autumn harvest this year. By then,
I helped your family collect it together. It’s not worth it. Your family only has five or six acres of land anyway. It can be recovered in one day. Keep it well. If you are worried, collect your family’s millet first and finish it.
After that, we can collect it ourselves, what do you think?"
The Liao family was at a loss, "No, Aunt Xu, our family is not as good as yours. We have many sons, and they are all busy. In our family, Liao Qing is the only one who does the work. When he has something to do, he works at home. When he has nothing to do, he goes to the mountains to hunt and sell some small money back.
