Chapter 61

"It's almost the same, remember to come to me next time you have something."

"understood."

Just as the mayor left, an old couple came to her stall. Qiao Mai sat on a chair and watched them calmly.

It turned out to be the parents of Yuan's family, thinking to themselves, they are looking for trouble again.

"Are you the daughter-in-law of the family?"

"Yes, exactly!"

"I remember you, you were among the crowd last time."

"Yes, it was lively after watching it for a while, what's the matter?"

Qiao Mai just looked at them calmly.

Why did these two people come here?Naturally, they had heard the rumors and conducted investigations. They knew that the youngest son's daughter-in-law turned out to be Miss Qiao, whom everyone envied in the town. They kept kissing no matter what they said.

I heard that Mrs. Qiao can earn a lot of silver a month, but it is much more than the 100 taels, and I regret it!
"We are parents from the same family."

"Not now."

"You asked Jia Qi to do this?"

"Bah, you sold your son and treated him harshly since he was a child. He has long wanted to leave."

"I think it was you who encouraged it."

"Whatever you say, get out of here."

"Tell you, it's so easy to leave my Yuan family, there's no way!"

"Do it if you have the ability, and get out if you don't. Don't talk so much nonsense here. I'm not your son. I must have inquired before I came here. You have also heard who I am, Mrs. Qiao. It will do you no good."

"Wait and see!"

"If you want to lose money, just wait and see, whoever is afraid of whom, hum!"

Qiao Mai didn't even look at them. The couple glanced at the goods on her stall, swallowed, and left with a flick of their sleeves.

He's not a fool, he's much better than the Qiao family and the Tian family.

These three families should continue to come to find trouble in the future. The small farmers and no backers really added some fun to her life.

She didn't take them seriously at all. It's okay to make trouble or make trouble, but the person who touches her is not allowed!
Let's settle down for a while before talking, don't be too anxious about everything.

Golden autumn and October is the harvest season for farmers.

If you are busy, no one will miss her.

It also allowed her to concentrate on her work. In the market, when she saw someone selling chestnuts, she took some and fried them as snacks for her children.

She will also buy fresh lotus seeds when she sees them. She guards the official road, and vendors from south to north will pass by her. When she sees good ones, she hurriedly asks them to stop. Buy after the price is finished.

With space, she is not afraid of being damaged, nor is she afraid of buying too much.

It's going to be cold, so we need to stock up on all kinds of supplies.

Every month, she handed over ten taels of silver to Yuan's family on time, and she seldom interfered with family affairs, giving the child freedom and space for the Yuan family, which he and the child liked the most.

With this busy schedule, it was mid-October, and the pancakes at home were almost ready to dry.

The temperature outside also dropped to about [-] degrees, people put on thin jackets, and the wooden boxes that Qiao Mai ordered at the carpenter's shop were also shipped to their homes.

She put the persimmons in wooden boxes, 200 persimmons per box, a total of more than [-] boxes, it can be seen that she harvested a lot of persimmons.

"Brother Yuan, can you help me deliver two boxes to Sister Chen next door?"

Yuan Jiaqi hesitated for a moment, and felt that it was still necessary to say something.

"I'm a man, it's not appropriate to send a bachelorette."

"Then you take Fengyun with you, let him deliver it, and watch from the side."

"can."

"Give another ten boxes to shopkeeper Lu, and tell her not to eat too much at one time, and to eat everything in moderation."

"Ok."

"Give another ten boxes to the mayor, and I'll sell the rest. We will keep twenty boxes for our own food."

"You are the head of the family, you are the head of the house."

Qiao Mai glanced at him and smiled at him, "Okay."

The man as big as a mopan zhuzi was sun-dried and crushed by her, and turned into a round pancake with a layer of hoarfrost hanging on it.

Shopkeeper Lu couldn't put it down after receiving it. He ate it in his mouth and was intoxicated for a long time.

"Sweet and glutinous, like eating glutinous rice balls, not bad, not bad, the old people probably like it the most."

After the mayor received it, he took a look at it for a long time and tried to take a bite.

"Well, it's delicious, with a bit of chewiness. There are few fruits and vegetables in winter. It's better to eat this than preserved fruit. That stuff is too sweet, so this is just right."

He ate two in one go, and if it wasn't for Yuan Jiaqi's order, he could have eaten at least five.

This Qiao's is really good, he will bring him something delicious, it is worth his help.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder every day, the Yuan family set up a shed on the side of the house and discussed with Qiao Mai. They stockpiled three carts of good charcoal for ten taels of silver and a load of firewood for ten taels of silver. Thirty loads.

There is a kang to be burned at home, and the little quails need to be kept warm, and firewood and charcoal are inseparable for a while.

Qiao Mai thought for a while, and it was not enough to just stockpile these things, so he asked Yuan's family to stockpile a hundred catties of rice, a hundred catties of white noodles, and all kinds of rice noodles and oils, which almost filled the house.

Fengyun and Yunfeng have moved from the upper room to the west wing, and the place where they used to live has become a warehouse.

Four upper rooms, a warehouse, a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen.

In order to keep everyone warm in winter, a stove is set up in the east and west rooms for kang.

Now there are four stoves in the house, each of which has a large pot.

In this way, there is no need to set up a charcoal stove, and cooking peanuts can be cooked directly in the large pot on the stove.

At the end of October, the weather turned cold, and finally God changed his face.

The north wind was howling, and the face was so painful that it was blown. Qiao Mai went out of the stall as usual. The prefabricated house she had booked at the carpenter's shop was ready long ago.

From the Yuan family, she helped her set up a prefabricated house on the stall every day, set up the table, and went home after everything was done.

A lot of women were envious of Mr. Qiao and praised him as soon as they met, but Qiao Mai just smiled.

Sitting in the board room, guarding the four charcoal stoves, it is not cold at all, and there are few diners, so she does embroidery work in it, and she feels very beautiful alone.

Many vendors stopped coming out in such weather, but she was the only one who was still holding on.

In weather like this, you should be at home, boil a pot of hot water, make tea, make a plate of melon seeds, and sit together as a family.

She didn't want to be at home, and felt uncomfortable when she was free. She couldn't help the child with him in the morning.

In the afternoon, the child has eaten, took a nap, and got up to play for a while, and he has to copy and read books, and there are many things to do.

Even if it is a fake couple, there is no need to get tired of being together, it is better to keep some distance.

Just as she was doing her embroidery work seriously, a carriage stopped in front of her booth, and Miss Wang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared.

"Hey, sister Joe?"

"Yo, rare guest."

"There are some things at home recently. I haven't come here. Please forgive me, sister Qiao."

"What about your brother?"

"At home, I didn't come with you today."

"I just need your help with something, can I?"

"Of course, what is the relationship between the two of us, don't you think? As long as I can help, it will be undeniable."

So Qiao Mai called Xiuhong to look at the stall, she went to the embroidery shop and called the shopkeeper Lu, and led the carriage in front to Qiao's house.

Miss Wang and the maid got out of the car, and she affectionately held shopkeeper Lu with one arm and Qiao Mai with the other.

"Is this your home?"

"Well, let's go in and show you something."

Shopkeeper Lu and Qiao Mai had been waiting for this day for a long time. They knocked on the door, and the Yuan family got up to open it. Seeing outsiders, they opened the door, waited for them to enter, then barred the door, and then went straight back to the house.

"Sister Qiao, who is that?"

"My man?"

"Wow, I got married after not seeing you for more than two months?"

"That's right, it's not the first marriage. If you love me, I will be together after changing the household registration."

"It's really surprising, but with sister Qiao's temper, I think it can be done."

Entering Qiao Mai's room, "Sit on the kang?"

"Your house is so warm"

"There is a charcoal basin in the house, and the kang is also burning, so it is naturally warm."

"Your house is so clean and well organized."

"This is sister Lu's house. Seeing that I am pitiful, let me live in."

 I made a typo when I typed too fast. I corrected the typo. I searched for chapter 54 for a long time but couldn’t find the typo. I’ll look for it later.
