There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 200 Help (Second Update)
Beside the new shoes, there is a scarlet box, inside the box is a big birthday cake.

Is this for some old man's birthday?
Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "Grandpa Erbao is celebrating his birthday, let's go to celebrate his birthday."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Ah, then congratulations to the old man, the old man has a long life?"

"Seventy this year." Second Lady Xiang smiled.

In ancient times, medical skills were underdeveloped, there were many diseases and disasters, and there were many accidents. In the Song Dynasty, the average life expectancy of people was less than 40 years old, and there were only a handful of elderly people who lived to 70 years old in the entire village.

"Ma'am, why don't your family hurry up to celebrate your birthday? Why did you stop the ox cart? The birthday banquet is lively only when there are many people." Li Jiaoniang said.

"No hurry, the banquet is at noon, it's only early in the morning." Mrs. Xiang smiled, "I heard that you will open the day after tomorrow, right? Just in time, our field is not busy these days, when the time comes Come to help your tavern, how about it? Jiao Niang? Luo Cheng? Don't you think our family is slow?"

After speaking, he and she laughed heartily.

Neighbors came to help, of course.

If it is in the village, if anyone holds a wedding or a wedding, it is the neighbors who help.

It's just that this tavern is far away from the village, so Li Jiaoniang didn't invite neighbors.

However, it has been more than half a month since she bought the tavern, and it has already spread throughout the village.

Luo Cheng was upright and hurriedly said, "That will delay the affairs of my aunt's field."

"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Li Jiaoniang said, feeling apologetic, "It's far away from the village, ten miles away."

"No, there is the ox cart of Uncle Erbao's house. It's not busy anyway, so it's free at home." Mrs. Xiang said with a smile, "Okay, that's it, we'll come back the day after tomorrow."

Luo Cheng said again, "Aunt Xiang, Uncle Xiang, I've put up a sign and will recruit a few people to come over. It won't be easy for you to go back and forth."

"Where are the people who invite you have neighbors? They are all strangers." He waved his hand to the eldest lady and said with a smile, "Don't shirk, let's just say it like this."

The whole family waved to Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng, and got on the bullock cart again.

They were about to leave when Zhong came along with his son and daughter.

The mother and son did not take a car, but came on foot. The wide bamboo hats did not cover the scorching sun, and their faces were all flushed.

Chun Ya shyly called out, "Uncle Xiang, Aunt Xiang, Er Bao."

Xiang Da Niang replied with a smile, "Hey, okay."

Mrs. Zhong stepped forward to say hello, "Brother Xiang Jia, sister-in-law Xiang Jia, are you visiting relatives?"

Xiang Guangcai didn't speak a word, he was an old man, and he didn't bother to talk to the daughters-in-law and daughters of other families.

Besides, it was Luo Fucai's family that he looked down upon again.

He turned his head away.

He nodded to Erbao Chaochunya.

Mrs. Xiang admired Chunya very much, and she was not disgusted with the hardworking Zhong Shi, she said with a smile, "Grandpa Erbao's [-]th birthday, let's go to celebrate it."

"Oh, that's right, oh, seventy years old, that's really a long life, the old man must be in good health, right?"

"It's okay." Mrs. Xiang smiled, and looked at Chunya Chunbao again, "These two children, who are young, each carry a basket."

Seeing that he was mentioned, Chun Bao stepped forward, took off the basket and showed it to the eldest lady, "The cockleburs I picked, you know how to beat them, and Chun Ya said that the pharmacy would charge them for a lot of money."

Chunbao is small, and he carries a small basket. The cocklebur fruit and cicadas in the basket are only two handfuls. How much can they sell for?

But it is really surprising that a seven or eight-year-old child said that he wanted to sell medicinal materials for money.

Madam Xiang praised Chunbao, "Oh, I never thought you would know how to make money at such a young age?"

"Chun Ya said, I'm a man, I can't always ask women for money, I have to make money myself." Chun Bao raised his chin and said proudly.

As soon as his words fell, Xiang Guangcai, who didn't want to pay attention to Zhong's mother and son, was also amused and laughed.

Xiang Erbao also grinned.

Mrs. Xiang laughed loudly, "A man? Ah, yes, yes, you are a man now, capable and capable." She also patted Er Bao on the shoulder, "Er Bao, follow me, Chun Bao know how to make money."

Xiang Erbao knew that this was his old mother coaxing the child, so he responded in agreement, "Got it."

Zhong felt very embarrassed, "Sister-in-law Xiang, he's just a child, just playing around."

"Where is that? When my second treasure was so old, he didn't understand anything." Mrs. Xiang smiled, and then looked into Chunya's back basket, which was full of dried medicinal materials.

She thought to herself, this girl is really hardworking, collecting herbs in hot weather is not an easy job, it is even harder than farming.

There are many insects and ants in the dense forest, and there are many snakes and insects, and it is sultry and hot.

In the field, not all crops grow taller than people, and there are many short ones.

Weeding in the field of short crops, at most, is exposed to the sun, so it will not be too stuffy.

"Okay, okay, let's go, the sun has risen." Xiang Guangcai raised his whip and drove the ox cart.

Li Jiaoniang waved her hand towards her family and walked towards the three of the Zhong family, "Sixth Aunt, why are you here too?"

"Come and see your tavern." Zhong said with a smile, "Chunya Chunbao came to sell herbs, and I came here specially to help."

Mrs. Zhong patted Chunya on the shoulder, "Go ahead, take my brother and sell the medicinal materials, and then come here to help."

Li Jiaoniang hurriedly said, "Sixth Aunt, Brother Luo Cheng has put up a sign to recruit staff, and I don't need your help."

"Isn't this recruited yet? When your people are recruited, I'll go home. I'm not busy now, so I can help you." Zhong smiled and walked into the tavern, "Where is the kitchen?" ah?"

Luo Cheng then asked, "Aunt Liu, if you help us, where is the melon field?"

"Your sixth uncle is watching. Besides, the watermelons are almost picked, and there are only a few tailed melons left. There is nothing to do all day long. Luo Cheng, don't worry about my family. I will help. Of course it was arranged." Zhong said with a smile.

When she entered the room, she rolled up her sleeves and looked around for the kitchen.

Luo Cheng couldn't resist her, so he had to lead her to the kitchen in the backyard.

In the front yard, Li Jiaoniang looked at Chun Ya's basket, and found that this girl picked a lot of expensive herbs.

She told Chunya the current purchase price and reminded Chunya not to be fooled by the pharmacy.

Chun Ya smiled and said, "I see, Sister Jiao Niang, I'm smart."

"I'm smart too." Chun Bao puffed out her small chest.

"Yes, yes, they are all clever." Li Jiaoniang waved at them, "Go, come and have lunch later."

Chun Ya waved her hand, and took Chun Bao to the medicine shop in the market.

……

The Xiang family continued to move forward in a bullock cart.

Mrs. Xiang talked about the Zhong family from time to time, "That Zhong family is very hardworking."

Xiang Guangcai drove the car without saying a word.

Xiang Erbao responded, "Well, she looks after the melon fields, several acres of fields. Not only does she have to watch, but she also helps the master's work."

"Her family also has two acres of land, right? She is planting her own field and helping others to look after a few acres of land. If it were me, I would be too busy." Madam Xiang exclaimed.

Xiang Guangcai drove the ox cart, still silent.

He said to the eldest lady again, "Her daughter follows her, she looks like her, and she can do things quickly. My son is still young, so I don't know whose character he resembles."

"Her siblings look alike, so they follow her." Xiang Erbao agreed.

"It seems so." Mrs. Xiang laughed. Seeing that Xiang Guangcai had remained silent, Mrs. Xiang reached out and patted the man's shoulder, "I said Erbao Dad, why do you always act like a boring gourd? We are chatting What, you didn't say anything?"

"What are you talking about?" Xiang Guangcai snorted, "Damn Erbao, why do you always mention Luo Laoliu's family? What's the use of his wife and children? He's a gambler! Such a family, don't hang out with them."

"Hey, you dead man, did someone cheat you of your money, or rob you of your money? Why are you so fierce?" Mrs. Xiang was dissatisfied.

"Jinshan Village and Yushan Village are full of his creditors. When others borrow money, they will pay it back. If they can't pay back, they say that money is tight and time is good. Money, even people disappeared. When borrowing money, they are sloppy, and when repaying money, they are more fierce than gangsters. What can they say about this kind of people?" Xiang Guangcai's face was full of disgust.

Said to the eldest lady, "His children didn't follow him."

"He borrowed money one day, and when he ran out of money, his children still watched him starve to death? Hmph, whoever is next to such a person is unlucky." Xiang Guangcai turned around, glanced at Xiang Erbao, and warned Looking at the eldest lady, "Are you interested in the daughter of Luo Laoliu's family?"
