Chapter 55

I saw Mrs. Qi took out a bag of silver,

"Then you can buy more. Your elder brother gave me a lot of money for the house yesterday. Our family will live a better life. We will eat better and dress better in the future."

Then he took out a small bag of silver and gave it to Miss Qi,
"Go back to the market, buy some good-colored fabrics, and make some clothes for us Jiaojiao. Such a handsome girl must dress nicely."

Miss Qi took the money and agreed happily.

The whole family is very happy recently, and their bodies are full of energy every day, especially when Qi Ada's health is good, the mood of the whole family is also good. In addition, Qi Zhang has made great achievements again, and I just feel that the more I live, the more hopeful I am. .

Sheng Jiaojiao secretly squeezed the money that the old lady Qi gave her, and it was a heavy bag. It seemed that grandma really liked eating apples.

Not only the old lady Qi likes it, but the whole family likes it.

Looking at it this way, Apple seems to have a big market.

After dinner, more people came to Qi's house in the village. She found an excuse to find a quiet place to read a book, and then went to pick apples in the pit behind the house.

In the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao watered the apple tree again, and when I came back to see it in the afternoon, the size of the apple tree hadn't changed much, but there were many red apples sprouting from the crown of the tree.

She took a pole, hooked off the branches full of fruits, and picked a basket full of apples.

When Qi Zhi came back from practicing sword at night, Sheng Jiaojiao asked Qi Rong to carry a basket on his back, saying that he met a peddler outside and bought a basket of apples.

Qi Zhi looked innocently at the apple tree on the hillside, and asked a little worriedly:

"Sister, why do I feel like we can't finish eating the apples on this tree? If someone finds out in the future, what will we do if we have such a big tree?"

What he said was exactly what Sheng Jiaojiao was worried about now.

Vegetables in the soil depression are still a trivial matter, as long as Sheng Jiaojiao does not water these vegetables for a few days, the growth rate of these vegetables will naturally slow down.

But such a big tree still grows on the slope of the soil depression. As long as it grows a little bit taller, this apple tree will emerge from the ground.

This is something that Sheng Jiaojiao urgently needs to solve.

She held her hands, her smoky gray sleeves were swinging in the wind and sand, her beautiful eyes were downcast, looking at the sturdy apple tree on the soil slope under her feet,
"There will be a solution soon"

The Qi family, who came back after Qi Rong, was the Zhou family who went to Jishang for a whole day.

As soon as Zhou Shi entered the door, he poured a large pot of water to drink. Facing Sheng Jiaojiao who was looking at her with concern, Zhou Shi took a breath and began to talk about how he went to find Chaozong today.

It is not difficult to inquire about the place where Chao Zong went. Go to the earthen house behind the abandoned prince's mansion, and it is full of servants of the abandoned prince.

Only heard Zhou panting and said:

"As soon as I went, I said I was looking for someone called Chaozong to buy a tree. Along the way, several people pulled me and said that they had a tree in their hands. Hey, what kind of tree do you think I asked them to buy? In the end, they were alone. The price was lower than the one quoted. When I managed to find Nest Sect, he had no plans to sell the tree. When I said that I wanted to buy the tree from him or buy the tree at a high price, he didn't react for a long time. "

"Did he sell the tree in the end?"

Sheng Jiaojiao held the teapot, shook it slightly, unconsciously filled with half a pot of water, she found a teacup, slowly poured the water from the teapot into the cup, and handed it to Mrs Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou took a sip from the teacup, finally took a breath, and said:

"Where can I not sell it? I am giving him money. Can he not sell it? He will send us the tree tomorrow."

asked again:
"Jiao Jiaoer, we spent so much money and bought so many trees, where are we planting them?"

Sheng Jiaojiao was already prepared for this, looked outside the main room, and said:

"Planting in the front yard and the backyard, I think it's fine, don't worry about this auntie, let's just buy a tree as a gift for that nest, and when the tree is bought back, let the four guys go and plant it."

"That's right, it won't work anyway, so don't worry about it."

Mrs. Zhou felt a little emotional, touched the little money bag left, and sighed,

"I just think it's a pity. Although this is a disguised gift to Mr. Chao, if these trees can really grow here, when the four brothers grow up, maybe our place will become green water and green mountains. .”

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't say anything, green water and green mountains are not bad.

Mrs. Qi came out of the kitchen with a plate of bright red apples and entered the main room. Seeing Mrs. Zhou and Sheng Jiaojiao sitting in the main room, she smiled and said:

"This peddler is quite mysterious. I don't know if I know Erlang's master or not. Today, I actually met the fourth brother. He bought a basket full of apples and came back. Come, you two eat."

No one knows when Qi Rong ran out of the village again. Now everyone in the family has been ordered around by Sheng Jiaojiao. Mrs. Zhou went to Jishang to buy a tree. The third lady Qi who was in charge of taking care of Qi Rong in the past dragged Qi The third uncle, the husband and wife have been busy on the whole medicine field, planting medicinal materials.

Mrs. Qi Er was engrossed in making papyrus paper, and Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi had to greet the ladies who came to the house every day to do embroidery work, while Qi Ada and Qi Aer were always in the militia.

Apart from Sheng Jiaojiao, there is no one idle in the house.

There was no one to guard Qi Rong, so Qi Rong, like a monkey, inadvertently ran out of the village for him.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Qi Rong when he went out this time, but he returned with a basket full of sweet and juicy apples.

Zhou's eyes lit up when he saw the apples, and he quickly reached out to grab one and started to chew.

Sheng Jiaojiao at the side also played with one in her hand, then took out the receipt she had prepared earlier from her sleeve, and confessed to Zhou:

"Tomorrow Chaozong will send the tree and ask him to sign the receipt. We bought the tree with money, but we can't have a receipt for us, otherwise he will give us the tree and the tree will die again. I don't know, but in the end, there is no way to clear money and goods in this business, and we were kind enough to return the gift, but in the end we didn't have to become enemies."

Mrs. Qi nodded while eating the apple, and confessed to Mrs. Zhou:

"Yes, listen to Jiao Jiaoer, she is the one who reads the most in our family and is the most reasonable."

Sheng Jiaojiao had already told Mrs. Qi about buying a batch of trees at home, and she felt that what Sheng Jiaojiao did was right.

In recent years, although the Qi family has not been rich, they have never taken more stitches from others. Isn't it normal for them to return gifts when others give them gifts?

"I saved it."

Mrs. Zhou responded, she couldn't put it down to the apples in her hand, and wished she could eat them all.

On the second day, Chao Zong went to drag a large cart of trees and hired someone to deliver them to Qi's family in Huangtu Village.

All the people from the village gathered around to watch the excitement.

Chaozong went to get off the horse, and went to the corner of the yard with Zhou to pay the bill.

Niu Ju entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room and asked:
"Jiaojiao, why did your family buy so many trees? How much does it cost?"

"Not much, planting some trees seems to make me feel better."

Sheng Jiaojiao gave Niu Ju two apples, and then took Niu Ju to sit on the kang, and said sincerely:
"I haven't thanked you for lending me the horse last time."

"Don't say that, we are friends, why should I not care if your Shiro is gone?"

Niu Ju was honest, with a round and black face, holding two apples in her hand, smelled it, and asked:
"Jiaojiao, what kind of fruit is this? Can I eat it?"

"Of course you can eat it. You can eat it. This is called an apple."

Seeing that Niu Ju was holding an apple, wiping it on her clothes, and putting it in her mouth, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, pushed Niu Ju's elbow, and said:
"Hurry up and eat. I have some leftovers at home after eating. I'll give you a basket. You can take it back and give some to your dad."

"Ah, so many, I don't want so many."

Niu Ju was frightened by Sheng Jiaojiao's rhetoric, she hastily took a small bite of the apple in her hand, her face was stunned.

too delicious.

Unable to bear it, Niu Ju took another bite of the apple. She nodded continuously, making a crisp sound of biting an apple, and said:
"Jiaojiao, is this apple expensive? Where did you buy it?"

"When the four guys went out, they met a peddler. They bought a lot from that peddler. It was not expensive. Things that we thought were rare were not rare items in the eyes of those peddlers who traveled all over the world. The peddler said no more. If you sell them, these apples are afraid they will go bad, so you can sell them to us at a lower price."

While Sheng Jiaojiao was talking, she took out a pen and paper and devoted herself to translating the book for Tan Ji.

Then I heard Niu Ju say with envy:

"Jiaojiao, your family's life is getting better and better. Brother Qi Zhang is also capable, your family Shiro is also capable, and you, you are also capable."

Niu Ju hasn't read much, and her mother has little knowledge, she can do some embroidery work, and she can't get off the ground.

My dad hurt his waist during the war, and he couldn't do heavy work when he was too old. On weekdays, cows and chrysanthemums were doing the farming and cooking at home.

She didn't know what to say to praise Sheng Jiaojiao, she just felt that Sheng Jiaojiao was capable.

Sheng Jiaojiao stopped the tip of her translation pen, looked up at Niu Ju who was sitting opposite her, and saw an indescribable loneliness on Niu Ju's face that she wanted to hide but couldn't.

So Sheng Jiaojiao put down the pen in her hand, and asked with concern:

"Niu Ju, what's wrong with you?"

It was fine if she didn't ask, but when she asked, Niu Ju stopped eating apples, her eyes turned red, her lips moved, and she said to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"Jiaojiao, I might be getting married."

"Huh? Married?"

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Niu Ju, paused, and asked again:
"Then do you want to marry yourself?"

She didn't ask Niu Ju who she was going to marry, but just asked Niu Ju if she wanted to marry. After living a new life, Sheng Jiaojiao gained some new insights into women's marriage.

Sometimes it is better for a woman to live alone than to be married to someone else.

If you are single, you can at most just endure the strange eyes of the world. If you marry someone who is not human, sometimes it will be fatal.

Niu Ju shook her head hastily, she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with tears in her eyes,

"But my aunt said that the man's family is in good condition, he lives in Jishang, and the family also raises more than a dozen sheep."

In fact, her aunt also said that Qi Zhang's conditions are better, but there is a Sheng Jiaojiao in the Qi family, and it is not Niu Ju's turn to marry into the Qi family.

"I have raised more than a dozen sheep." The conditions are good.

Sheng Jiaojiao was muttering, she looked at Niu Ju, not knowing what to say for a while.

In fact, she has no right to say anything, because in her previous life, when she was not married to Yin Ze as a concubine, she didn't know at all that there is no end to luxurious days.

One can live more luxuriously without being the most luxurious.

At that time, Sheng Jiaojiao only thought that if a man's family raised more than a dozen sheep, it could be regarded as a family with a good family background.

It's just because of the memory of a lifetime, so I don't think it's so important to have a dozen sheep.

At that moment, Sheng Jiaojiao said:

"Niu Ju, why don't you take a look again. The four of our family have bought a lot of apples from the peddler in the past few days, which is as much as a cart. If you want, you can go to the market to sell apples for us, and no matter how much money you sell, I will give you the same amount of wages per day."

Saying that, Sheng Jiaojiao raised a few fingers, and before Niu Ju could speak, Sheng Jiaojiao said again:
"It won't be a few days like this, and you have enough money to buy more than a dozen sheep. At that time, if you look at it again, maybe your eyes will be different."

Niu Ju stopped talking, her eyes were still red, and she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao.

Seeing her silence, Sheng Jiaojiao sighed again and said:
"Of course, if you like that man, and you want to marry him no matter how many sheep he has, then go ahead and marry him. I'm sure I will bless you."

"No, I don't like it, really, Jiaojiao."

Niu Ju hastily denied that she didn't like that man, she always liked him.
Niu Ju didn't dare to say it, she didn't even dare to think about it, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with the tenacious eyes of an ordinary peasant girl.

Just hear her say:
"Jiaojiao, I agree. I'll sell apples first, and then I'll think about getting married."

She has eaten apples before, and they are very delicious. Such a delicious fruit will definitely not worry about selling them in the market.

Maybe Niu Ju can really earn a sheep's money.

At that time, her mother will not force Niu Ju to marry quickly.

According to Niu Ju's temperament, he did what he said, and before Qi Rong drove the mule back to deliver the goods to the military camp, Niu Ju asked Sheng Jiaojiao to give him a basket of apples, and went to collect them with the basket on his back.

Qi Rong picked the apples early last night. Sheng Jiaojiao gave Qi Rong a big basket and asked Qi Rong to fill the basket with apples and put them in the back of the yard.

Still under the pretext of buying it from a peddler.

Because during this time, the Qi family also knew that Qi Erlang had written letters to Sheng Jiaojiao, recommending several drug dealers in Sheng Jiaojiao, and Qi Dalang supported Sheng Jiaojiao's business.

So Qi Rong always said that he bought apples from the salesman, but it didn't arouse the suspicion of the Qi family.

Instead, I hope this salesman can bring more apples to sell, this fruit is really delicious.
