Chapter 227, invite someone (two more)

Luo Cheng thought for a while and said, "Alright, let's go tomorrow morning."

The two agreed that when they returned home in the evening, Li Jiaoniang went to the pharmacy in the village market to buy some tonics, which she planned to send to Chen Laiqing.

Although she also collects medicines, but after all, she doesn't go to many places, and all the medicines she collects are internal medicine.

Great tonic medicinal materials, such as old mountain ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, are rarely seen.

She picked an old ginseng tree last time, but when the family had no money, she sold it.

Li Jiaoniang knows how to look at medicinal materials, can bargain, and is a regular customer of the pharmacy, so neither the shopkeeper nor the staff dare to cheat her.

She bought an old ginseng tree and some nourishing herbs with cheaper money than others.

Early the next morning, Li Jiaoniang went to the ditch to check the fishing net bag as usual.

In the past, there were only six net bags, and when there were the most fish and shrimps, there were only half a bucket.

At that time, there was no money, so the net bag was made by Luo Cheng from a fishing family in the village, and he bought it with an old fishing net at a cheap price.

Now her money can buy things as she likes.

She bought ten new, sturdy fish creels.

In these fish baskets, all the fish and shrimps, as well as loaches and eels, ran into them.

While he was busy, someone not far away suddenly sneered, "She looks like a stalk of hemp, Luo Cheng is really unlucky to marry such a woman."

Mrs. Luo?

Li Jiaoniang stood up straight and smiled, "I'm thin, but I'm Wangfu. Didn't I see that the dilapidated house that Luo Cheng lived in for 20 years was remodeled by me? If you want to eat meat at home, you can eat it." Meat, eat fish if you want to eat fish. Before he married me, did he not have enough to eat every day? He wore ragged clothes every day. Is his current clothes a little bit ripped? Seven or eight pairs of shoes, going out in a carriage, Don't speak sour words when you are old, and worry about how to appease the daughters-in-law at home."

Old lady Luo fell backward in anger.

Indeed, her sons are not at home now, and they are all locked up. In the past, the daughters-in-law were obedient and obedient, and took turns helping her cook and farm every day, but now they ignore her completely.

Now she wakes up early in the morning to go to the field to pick vegetables.

Cook your own meals, wash your clothes, plant your own land, and do everything by yourself!
what on earth is it?

Why is her life like this?
Mrs. Luo couldn't figure it out.

"Be careful of biting your tongue when you talk too much! Hmph!" Mrs. Luo snorted and left, "What's the big deal? Back then, I also rode in a carriage!"

Li Jiaoniang shrugged, and continued to check the fishnet bag.

With the little gray hair watching, she can catch a lot of fish and shrimp every day.

Li Jiaoniang picked out the big ones and threw the small ones into the ditch.

That alone fills a knee-high bucket.

Luo Cheng came over with a hoe on his shoulder, and was surprised when he saw the fish and shrimp in the bucket, "Today there are a lot of them."

"I added a few fishnets, of course there are too many." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

He put down the hoe and picked up the bucket, "I won't go to the market today, there are so many, I can't finish it."

"I've made up my mind. Give some to Aunt Six. It's not easy for her to take care of the two children alone. I'll make some dried shrimp and fish. If there are more, I'll take them all to Uncle Chen's house. Don't we ask Uncle Chen for help?"

Luo Cheng turned to look at her, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and smiled slightly, "Okay."

He thought to himself, no wonder everyone likes her, her heart is so kind.

What he didn't know was that if Li Jiaoniang knew that he thought so, she would definitely laugh.

She is not kind!

She is kind to people with good character. Whether she knows her or not, people with good character deserve to be treated kindly.

As for the villains, she would trample to death one by one.

Absolutely not soft-handed.

……

After Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng finished their breakfast, they drove the donkey cart to Zhong's house first.

When they walked in the village, they rode in a donkey cart.

After walking a long way, I took a carriage.

Mrs. Zhong is doing laundry next to the wooden house, while Chunya and Chunbao are drying herbs.

Li Jiaoniang jumped off the donkey cart, smiled and called to Mrs. Zhong, "Aunt Six!"

Zhong raised her head and said with a smile, "Ah, are you here?" Then she called Chunya Chunbao, "Move the stool quickly."

Luo Cheng took a bucket off the donkey cart.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "If you don't sit down, we'll leave in a while. Aunt Six, what are you being polite to people you meet every day? By the way, there are a lot of fish and shrimp today. I'll bring some for Aunt Six to eat."

"Oh, what are you giving away? Your tavern's business is so good, take it to the tavern." Zhong waved his hands repeatedly.

"I have something to do today. I didn't go to the tavern. The weather is hot. If I can't finish eating, it will go bad." Li Jiaoniang laughed.

Zhong had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing a dustpan of red plums on the table at home, she hurriedly called Chunya, and gave half of them to Li Jiaoniang to take away.

"It was brought by my neighbor. I can't finish it. Take it, Jiao Niang. This kind of red plum is so sweet." Zhong said with a smile.

Li Jiaoniang accepted it with a smile, "Thank you Aunt Six."

Mrs. Zhong shook off the water stains on her hands, stood up, and said earnestly, "Young lady, if Chunbao hadn't gone to school, I would take Chunbao to help you visit the tavern every day. If you talk about you, the tavern will go to school again." It's closed, what can I do?"

Mrs. Zhong knew that Li Jiaoniang didn't go to the market at this time, so the store would be closed for another day.

"We are going to find a helper. We will invite him today." Li Jiaoniang smiled.

Zhong said, "That's good, I'm still worried about your tavern."

"Sister Jiaoniang, eat plums." Chunbao held a big red plum and handed it to Li Jiaoniang.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Thank you, Chunbao."

This little kid, when we first met, was a brat.

She disciplined her a few times, and Luo Sun, who was in charge of her pet grandson, was not at home, so the brat's troubles were reduced a lot, and he was completely an obedient and sensible boy.

"You're welcome, hehe." Chun Bao giggled, "By the way, Miss Jiao Niang, I'm going to school on the first day of next month, and my mother even made me a schoolbag."

Li Jiaoniang gave him a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad, really amazing!"

Mrs. Zhong sighed and said, "I have been doing laundry for people these few days, and with the money I saved before, it is enough for Chunbao's Shuxiu. Other children start going to school at the age of five, and he is almost eight years old." Just go, I feel guilty."

Luo Cheng said at this time, "Sixth Aunt, you forgot that I also went to school at the age of eight, and dropped out of school after only two years."

Zhong laughed, "Chun Bao can't compare with you, he is a chaotic boy."

"I'm not chaotic, I'm very smart, I can count from one to ten." Chun Bao raised his chin high.

Everyone laughed.

Zhong said again, "By the way, Jiao Niang, Luo Cheng, you said to ask someone to look after the tavern. You need a reliable person. Who do you want to ask for help?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "We want to invite Uncle Chen."

Zhong didn't know who they were talking about, "Who is Uncle Chen?"

"Oh, the former son-in-law of the old lady of the Luo family, I was thinking, see if he is willing to help me in the tavern after his leg injury is healed." Li Jiaoniang said.

Zhong didn't know Chen Laiqing well, thinking that Li Jiaoniang was going to invite him, so she must be a good person.

"Oh, if he is willing to help, that would be great." Zhong said casually.

When Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng left, Chunbao followed their donkey cart, bit his lip and asked, "Sister Jiaoniang, how much did you pay for your donkey?"

Li Jiaoniang patted his head, "What? You want to buy a donkey? Have you made a lot of money collecting herbs?"

Chunbao nodded, "I have some money, I want to buy a donkey for my mother."

Mrs. Zhong laughed, "He only saved [-] yuan."

Li Jiaoniang snorted, "It's really rich, but the price of donkeys is still very expensive, this money is not enough."

"Just tell me how much it is." Master Chun Bao asked again in the same tone.

Luo Cheng said at this time, "Shiguan, you don't have enough money."

Chun Bao snorted, "I can afford it when I go to school."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Is there money for going to school?"

"Yes, what mother said, there is a house of gold in the book, and you can get rich after reading the book." Chun Bao said with certainty.

Li Jiaoniang, "..."

Zhong was so angry that he patted Chun Bao, "This kid, that's not what he meant!"

Chun Bao tilted his head, "What does that mean?"

Zhong: "..." How should she answer?

Li Jiaoniang squatted down in front of Chunbao, "Chunbao, your mother said that there is a house of gold in the book. It doesn't mean that if you shake the book, gold will fall, but it means that if you read more, you can grow up." Make money by learning."

Chunbao thought for a while, "Understood, Li Zhengxiu is just a scholar, he teaches to make money."

Li Jiaoniang: "..." Well, this explanation is also correct, "Well, anyway, if you study more, you will suffer less in the future."

Chunya listened to her ears, ten pennies a donkey, she already had six pennies, and if she worked harder, she could buy a donkey.
