Chapter 72

Back home, Chu Qingzhi asked Chu Qingshuang to wash the zongzi leaves, and she took Chu Qingning to deal with the mung beans and red dates of the zongzi with her.

The mung beans are soaked in water, and the red dates are pitted.

Chu Qingzhi poured all the red dates into the sieve and put them on the table, "Qing Ning, go get some chopsticks."

Chu Qingning nodded and left in confusion.

After taking the chopsticks back, Chu Qingning handed it to Chu Qingzhi, "Five sisters, what are you doing with the chopsticks?"

"You'll know right away." Chu Qingzhi took a chopstick and pierced it through the middle of the red jujube, and the jujube pit easily fell out.

Chu Qingning was surprised, "Five sisters, you are so smart."

This is just a small life skill. Chu Qingzhi gave Chu Qingning a chopstick, "Fourth sister, try it."

Chu Qingning gave it a try happily, and then it was easy to de-nucleate, "Five sisters, your approach is great."

Some villagers who were off work came to the main room and saw the two sisters standing by the table to go to the jujube pit, and they stopped to watch.

"We use scissors to cut the jujube pits. I didn't expect such an easy way."

"Yes, this method is good, I learned it."

"I'll try."

As he talked, he picked up the spare chopsticks next to him and tried it. Then more and more villagers tried. Twenty catties of red dates were all cored under such an attempt.

When the villagers saw that they had nothing to do, they left again.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, the villagers were too hardworking.

At this time, Li Qingyu's voice came, "Everyone, don't be busy, come and help with the dishes and prepare to eat."

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao ​​both went home from school. They were doing their homework in the room. Today's homework is to copy the "Three Character Classic" twice. When they heard the sound, they ran to the kitchen one after another.

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning also quickly cleared the table and set the dishes for dinner.

Today's dishes include stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pork ribs, double-cooked pork, and cabbage soup. The aroma of the food quickly permeates the entire hall.

Li Qingyu and Grandma Chu both love their family members, considering that they are tiring at work, and the children are hard at work, so they are not distressed. The food is very well served. In the past, the current food seemed like a dream. The same, eat better than the New Year.

A few small meals were served to the elders and older brothers and sisters. They were sensible and well-behaved, which was also Chu Qingzhi's favorite point.

If the family was full of bear children, she would definitely be irritable and even beat the children.

Everyone sat down and ate deliciously.

In ancient times, Shibuyan was very good, even for ordinary farmers. Unless it was very necessary, they would not say it at the dinner table.

……

After eating, Chu Qingzhi started talking about business.

"Mother, we need to make rice dumplings tomorrow morning, but we don't have enough staff. Can you find ten aunties to help?"

Li Qingyu readily agreed, "Okay, it's up to my mother."

Chu Qingzhi's eyes turned to Chu Qingyue, "Second sister, you need some cotton thread to make rice dumplings. Later, you and fourth sister and fifth sister will cut the cotton thread into three feet long, and then wash it, okay?"

Chu Qingyue does not lack cotton thread when making clothes, and she has a lot of spares at home.

Chu Qingyue immediately agreed, "Yes, but how much to cut?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "Five hundred cuts are not enough."

Chu Qingyue nodded, "Okay."

Chu Qingzhi said to Chu Rong and Grandpa Chu again, "Father, Grandpa, you go to the corner of the yard to build two stoves, and buy two more pots to come back and use them to cook zongzi tomorrow."

One hundred catties of glutinous rice can pack five hundred zongzi, and three pots can almost cook.

Chu Rong responded, "Okay, I'll do it early tomorrow morning."

After Chu Qingzhi finished talking, Shen Ruyue began to talk, "Let me tell you about the money I earned today. After a while, Qingzhi will take a look at the details. Our family earned a total of 130 seven taels today. Many people in the village have become smarter. If one person or three people work together to get the goods, the unit price will be lower, so the total income will be lower.”

"In addition, I spent 30 taels of silver today, including the money for shopping and wooden sticks at home. Now the family has a total of 450 taels of silver."

Li Qingyu nodded affirmatively, "It is indeed so much."

Chu Qingzhi patted the back of Shen Ruyue's hand and thanked him sincerely, "Ruyue, thank you for your hard work."

If it wasn't for Shen Ruyue, she would have to do all the work, bookkeeping and accounting, and she would have to be too busy.

Shen Ruyue smiled and shook her head, "Qingzhi, you don't need to thank me in the future, I like to do these things, and that's what I should do."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, and suddenly said suggestively, "Sooner or later, we are all a family, and we really don't need to see outsiders."

These words made the eyes of the elders of the Chu family light up. It would be great if Shen Ruyue married Xuhua.

With this idea in mind, Li Qingyu cared deeply for Shen Ruyue in the following days, and treated her as a prospective daughter-in-law. The other elders were not bad and treated her very well.

Shen Ruyue is a smart girl, and she was also clearly indicated by Chu Qingzhi, her face flushed, and she said, "Qingzhi, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Xuhua, Jun's face had no strange color, is this a wooden man?She said it so clearly, still don't understand?

Forget it, she'd better make it clear.

After the business was finished, everyone dispersed and rested for a while, and the family was ready to learn to read.

Chu Xuhua came to the stable to feed the horse with soybeans. This horse is physically strong, and he is not tired of working with him for a day. He likes this horse very much.

After a while, Chu Qingzhi came over.

Seeing her, Ma'er's eyes widened immediately, and the long horse's face stretched out to rub against Chu Qingzhi, like a coquettish child.

Chu Xuhua tilted his head over, his eyes softened, "Five sisters."

Chu Qingzhi touched the horse that kept rubbing against her, and pointed out, "Brother, don't you have any special thoughts about what I just said?"

Chu Xuhua really didn't think much about it. His mind is now working to make money and build a house. The previous divorce has hit him a lot, "Five sisters, I don't understand what you mean."

Truly a wooden man, Chu Qingzhi lowered his voice, "Brother, what do you think of Ruyue?"

Chu Xuhua thought for a while, "She's a very good girl, knowledgeable, gentle and docile, and she can also do business management, even I'm not that good."

The highly rated Chu Qingzhi asked in a low voice, "Then do you like her?"

Chu Xuhua was startled, and quickly said, "Five sisters, don't talk nonsense, it will affect the girl's reputation."

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled, "Big brother said that Ruyue is good, why not chase after him?"

Chu Xuhua shook his head, "How do you pursue this condition, eldest brother?"

Chu Qingzhi understood that Chu Xuhua should have been hit by his ex-girlfriend and seriously lost his self-confidence, "Are our family's conditions still poor?"

Chu Xuhua said with some inferiority, "It's because the conditions of the eldest brother are not good."

Chu Qingzhi said with a sense of crisis, "Brother, if you don't chase after Ruyue, what will happen if you marry someone else in the future?"

Chu Xuhua looked calm, "The big brother bless her."

Chu Qingzhi, "..."

This matter takes time and experience. It must be that the two of them have not experienced enough. In the future, create more time for the two to get along alone.

"Brother, it's time to go to class."

"Well, the horse will feed you." Chu Xuhua gave Chu Qingzhi the basin and went to the main room.

Chu Qingzhi grabbed a handful of beans and fed it to the horse, "You are still simple and happy, but if you have a suitable companion, you must bring it back and let me have a look. If it is suitable, I will allow it."

The horse snorted, as if responding to Chu Qingzhi, it knew.
