Chapter 147: Matchmaking

Chapter 147: Matchmaking (4)
Because Mrs. Liu fell into Qinghu Lake, few people now go to Qinghu Lake to wash clothes.The weather is getting colder and colder, but the water in the well is warm, so the wives, children and children of the village gather by the well to wash.

These days, Yun Duo and Nie Dalang used a lot of water to make dried sweet potatoes, and Yang Shitou also earned some money to subsidize his family.He was fetching water, and when he saw Yun Duo coming with a bucket, he was startled, thinking that Yun Duo would not let him fetch water.

Seeing Yang Shitou, Yun Duo patted his head, "Uncle Shitou continues to help fetch water! I'm here to talk to my aunts!"

Hearing what she said, Yang Shitou was relieved, and quickly picked up two buckets of water to send home.

The people doing laundry and fetching water also asked Yun Duo what's the matter, "If you need any help, just say it!"

Yun Duo smiled and told them about buying sweet potatoes and corn.

Immediately, a few of them said to go home and ask, because they knew that Yun Duo had to wash the red-fleshed sweet potatoes before harvesting, so they asked her, "Do you want to wash the sweet potatoes? The corn should also be washed and dried before sending it over?"

"Yes! Yes! I can't do it alone. If you wash it and send it over, you can charge more." Yun Duo nodded hastily.

Things were settled, Yun Duo went to the village again and greeted those who were gossiping outside, saying that he wanted to buy sweet potatoes and corn.Mung beans can also be washed to produce starch, but it's a pity that the beans in the village, no matter whether they are mung beans or soybeans, are bought by Nie's old house.

Although the corn and sweet potatoes of each family are grown for food, many people grow more and rely on selling some grain to subsidize their families. The grain has just been harvested and the price is cheap, so they wait for the price to rise a bit before selling it.Unexpectedly, Yun Duo collected sweet potatoes and corn and sold them at his doorstep.Although it's a bit troublesome, but it's a trouble, the price is high, and you don't have to take it outside to be bargained.

Then the village started to move. Those who washed sweet potatoes, peeled corn kernels, and cleaned corn were busy in several places.

Mrs. Zhang and Nie Dagui all came over and asked Yun Duo why he made such a big fuss.

Yun Duo briefly explained, "Nie Dalang needs to see a doctor, which costs money. I want to make more things and sell them for more money."

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and her eyes turned red, "It's because we have no ability to be parents."

Nie Lan immediately asked, "Do you want to help?" Although Yun Duo was stingy, he was paid for his help.She is a younger sister, not to mention giving her more, it is always okay to stay for dinner.

"Not for now." Yun Duo thought for a while and shook his head.

Disappointment flashed in Nie Lan's eyes, she wanted to say more, and wanted her to say temporarily, "Then when do you want to help? I'll help you!"

"In a few days, I'll call you if I need help!" She couldn't handle this matter alone, and Nie Dalang was ill again.She needs hands.

Nie Lan smiled in satisfaction.

Nie Mei also said to help, telling Yun Duo not to be polite.

Yun Duo asked in the village if anyone had a small millstone, but no one had a big millstone, so she took the money, took a bullock cart to the town, bought some odds and ends, cut the meat, and bought big bones , I bought a small millstone.

Although the millstone is small, the clouds cannot move it.

The clerk looked at her, she was a little girl, her little face turned red when she moved the small millstone, and she smiled, "Is your house in the town? I'll send it to you."

"It's not from the town, my family is from Baishi Village! Little brother, help me deliver it to the bullock cart over there! I'll pay an extra five cents!" She couldn't move it.

"It's not worth anything, I'll send it to you." The man carried it and sent it to the bullock cart for her.

Yun Duo thanked him, but he didn't want the money, so he had no choice but to give up, and gave the old man who drove the ox cart a few pennies, and asked him to deliver it to the door.

Nie Dalang stood at the door, seeing her carrying the big and small bags, and hurried up to catch them.

Yun Duo smiled and asked the uncle to help her move the small millstone, and hurriedly wrapped some jujube cakes and hawthorn cakes for him.

The uncle also confiscated her money, and left with the snacks.

Seeing her hot and sweaty, Nie Dalang frowned, grabbed her, took a towel and wiped her clean, "Take things slowly, don't panic."

"Yeah!" Yun Duo nodded, and took out the snacks he bought, including peanut cakes, cloud cakes, mung bean cakes, and a pack of caramel. "This candy is for you to eat after drinking the medicine." This is natural malt caramel, very delicious .

Nie Dalang frowned slightly, "You want to eat it?"

Yun Duo stared, "I don't eat much..." Seeing that several babies were buying, she couldn't help but also bought a pack.

Nie Dalang smiled lightly and rubbed her head, "I'll give you all to eat, I don't like sweets." He got used to taking medicine and didn't feel bitter anymore.Besides, this little girl didn't think about it a few days ago, and decided to stay, so she was free to look for food again.

Yun Duo's uncomfortable little face was slightly hot, "I went to the old house to get some beans, and I'll grind soy milk for you to drink. This is not what I want to drink. Drink soy milk to keep fit. We don't have milk, so we can drink more soy milk, and the effect is similar. of."

Nie Dalang smiled and nodded.But cow's milk... goat's milk should work too.It's just that there is no place to feed them at home.

Yun Duo ran to the old house with half a catty of meat and asked for two scoops of soybeans.

Old man Nie was very happy. He ate meat again, but he felt that it was a little too little.

"I'm not willing to part with it! Bring some stuff between your teeth, and show off again!" Liu Shi said in a strange way, muttering in her heart, this little slut has been sick since then, so he spends money on medicine and meat, etc. After the sick child died, how much money would she have left! ?

"It's more than half a catty, why is it not enough for grandpa and grandma to fit between the teeth! Second Aunt usually doesn't show filial piety, but why do you still despise us when we come to show filial piety!?" Yun Duo immediately choked back rudely.

"Damn you..." Mrs. Liu was immediately annoyed when she heard this. Feelings are only for old men and old women?
Yun Duo didn't bother to look at her anymore, "Grandpa! Although this meat is not much, it's enough for you and grandma to cook a bowl of vegetables. Second uncle and aunt are so filial, presumably they won't compete with grandpa for meat!"

Old man Nie took the meat and looked at it again and again, and then said, "This is what Yun Duo gave to me!"

Annoyed and helpless, Mrs. Gan glared at Mrs. Liu, and greeted Yun Duo with a smile, "Why do you want beans? You can just come over and get them if you want bean sprouts. There is almost no food at home! Wait a minute, I'll cut two for you." Take a cabbage back."
