Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 19
Jiang Shouren had kept his head down since Jiang Duyue started talking, and now that the sky had darkened, no one could see his expression clearly.

Anyway, what I want to say is almost the same, Jiang Duyue simply stopped caring about the cheap father, but walked up to the cheap mother, and said loudly on purpose: "Mother, don't think too much, I think after these things, Dad must be able to figure it out, and you still have me and Xiaonian, we will protect you in the future."

Han Qingmei laughed and cried, and replied with a strong nasal voice: "Mother knows, mother is already content with you."

The mother and daughter huddled together, directly ignoring Jiang Shouren who was still struggling in shock, frustration, and annoyance.

This night, the third room of Jiang's family seemed exceptionally quiet. Almost everyone had their own concerns, and the one who touched him the most was obviously Jiang Shouren, but he couldn't tell anything from his usual dull appearance.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the whole family woke up very early. After all, they were going to the town, and they would not come back until evening. Han Qingmei had to prepare the lunch for Jiang Shouren.

"Mother, Xiaonian and I also want to go to the town with me. I heard people say that the town is great." Jiang Duyue deliberately waited until this time to make this request, because Xiaonian proposed to go to the town with her yesterday. In the meeting, there was no room for negotiation in Han Qingmei's words.

Han Qingmei was busy cooking dimo (steamed buns), she didn't even look at Jiang Duyue, she replied, "You are in good health, and the town is far away, so you can't be bumpy anymore!"

"Mother, we just follow to see, we will be very good, if you don't let me and Xiaonian follow, I will... I won't eat!" Jiang Duyue shook Han Qingmei's arm, very Childishly coquettish.

Xiaonian followed suit and shook Han Qingmei's other arm: "Mom, I've never been to the town before, this time you can ask dad to take my sister and me there!"

When I was in the old house, I had my grandma and my aunt around, so Xiaonian never dared to make such a request, otherwise he would definitely be scolded to death.

Now that he finally came out, and had the opportunity to follow him to the town, Xiao Nian naturally didn't want to let it go.

Han Qingmei was dizzy from the shaking of the two, but she still felt a little uneasy. The town was crowded and chaotic. What if something happened to the child?
At this time, Jiang Shouren, who was sitting on the sidelines drinking soup, said, "Mother, neither of the children has ever been to the town. It's a rare opportunity now. Let them follow. I'll take care of them."

For the first time, Jiang Duyue felt that this cheap father looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Even her husband said that, Han Qingmei naturally couldn't object anymore, but the worry in her eyes still couldn't be erased.

Jiang Duyue rolled her eyes, and suggested: "Mother, why don't you go together, aren't you going to sell embroidery? If people ask some questions about embroidery, Dad won't be able to answer it!"

"This...but mother still has to go to work in the old house..." It's not that Han Qingmei doesn't want to go, but when she came back yesterday, Mrs. Zhao specifically told her to go to cook earlier today, and then she has to go Those who feed pigs, chickens and ducks will probably have to go to the mountains to cut pitcher plants. I'm afraid it's impossible to go to the town.

When Jiang Duyue heard this, she was a little annoyed: "My grandma is not very old, why do I have to let my mother cook?"

"That's right, and the uncle, the second aunt, and the fourth aunt are all at home, why do I let my mother do all the work!" Xiaonian also complained.

After these few days, Han Qingmei already had some ideas of her own, and was even more dissatisfied and resistant to Zhao's actions, but in front of Jiang Shouren, she couldn't say anything wrong about Zhao's people. So he had to keep his mouth shut.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Duyue immediately turned her gaze to Jiang Shouren: "Father, you are the head of the family, where do you think mother should go today?"

This was a little test for Jiang Shouren, and it was also a test for the results of what he said yesterday.

"This..." Jiang Shouren was also in a dilemma, but seeing the expectant gazes of the mother and daughter looking at him, Jiang Shouren made a decision of his own for the first time, "Your mother will follow and clean up." Pack up, don't make Da Zhuang wait too long."

Xiao Nian happily rushed over and hugged Jiang Shouren, almost knocking over the soup bowl in his hand: "Father, you are so kind!"

Han Qingmei and Jiang Duyue also looked at Jiang Shouren with joyful gazes. Being hugged by Xiaonian, Jiang Shouren felt a sense of courage in his heart, and this was the first time in a few days that the mother and daughter had met with each other. It was rare for Jiang Shouren to feel so close to him.

Although he was still worried about whether his mother would make another scene after knowing this, at least at this moment, he was happy in his heart, and it was the kind of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He even suddenly realized that he could make his own decisions...

After a simple breakfast, the family of four took the embroidery by Han Qingmei and the bunches of wild vegetables that Jiang Duyue insisted on carrying, and went out under the gray sky.

When they arrived at Da Zhuang's house, there were already several people waiting there, including the Aunt Li whom Jiang Duyue met on the road last time, but Xiao Wu was not seen.

"Jiang's third uncle and third aunt are here!" Da Zhuang smiled honestly while sitting in front of the bullock cart.

Jiang Duyue sized this person up and thought to himself, this person looks like a simple and honest person.

"Hmph, it's really slow to death. If you don't go, you should have said it earlier. What's the point of delaying the big guy's time?" Aunt Li said angrily.

Han Qingmei hugged Jiang Duyue and Xiaonian to the bullock cart, and apologized with a smile: "I didn't plan to go at first, but who knew that the two children insisted on following, I was worried, so I had to follow." , That's why I cleaned up for a while, and made everyone wait for a long time."

Aunt Li glanced at Jiang Duyue, snorted, and said nothing more.

This bullock cart is actually very simple, a bit like a farmer's flat cart with a half-meter-high wooden fence around it, and an ox in front of it.

There is not much space in the cart, and there are still some things that the villagers want to bring to the town to sell, such as vegetables, firewood, etc., so there is no place for people to sit.

Jiang Duyue was short, so he could just stand inside, but Han Qingmei and Jiang Shouren had to sit sideways on the wooden railing. Jiang Duyue felt that such a posture must be very uncomfortable.

But since the situation here is like this, Jiang Duyue didn't say much.

When all the people arrived, the car began to drive unsteadily, because the countryside is not easy to walk, and the ox cart is not stable, and it is upside down along the way, making Jiang Duyue drowsy. But he couldn't close his eyes and rest.

After almost two hours, that is, an hour here, the bullock cart slowly stopped. It was already bright at this time, but it should be six or seven o'clock in the morning.

Da Zhuang found a place to stop the ox cart, and said: "Everyone should hurry up, let's try to go back after noon."

After all, they borrowed someone else's ox cart, so no one dared to have any dissatisfaction, and responded one after another.

Jiang Shouren agreed, and was about to discuss with his wife and children where to go first, when Aunt Li smacked her lips with a basket of green vegetables: "What is in the bamboo basket, Third Brother of the Jiang family, why did you cover it specially?" Is it? Shouldn’t it be something shameful?”

The wild vegetables brought by Jiang Duyue were placed in a bamboo basket. Because he didn't want others to know what he was doing, Jiang Duyue covered the wild vegetables with a piece of cloth.

When Jiang Shouren heard this, he was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Duyue said directly: "The things in this basket are not Aunt Li's things anyway, Aunt Li should go sell vegetables quickly, if you can't find a good place, I'm afraid the vegetables will be sold." It must not be sold!"

Although Jiang Duyue has only met Aunt Li twice, she can also tell that this person is very powerful, and she has no time to talk to this kind of person.

"What an unruly little hoof!" Aunt Li glared at Jiang Duyue, and walked away with a basket in her hand.

Jiang Shouren looked up and saw that everyone in the village had left, and hurriedly looked at Han Qingmei: "Mother, where are we going now?"

"I've never sold this thing before, why don't we just look around first." Han Qingmei also showed embarrassment, her embroidery skills are not good at all, if it weren't for this life, she would not be able to live on. I would never think of doing embroidery and selling it.

Jiang Duyue saw that both of them had lost their minds, so she could only ask, "Mother, do you know where the biggest embroidery shop in town is?"

"This mother knows, it's just that the embroiderers in the Jinxiu workshop are very good. I'm afraid they won't want the embroidery that my mother made." Han Qingmei sighed sadly.

"Whether they want it or not, let's go and have a look first!" Jiang Duyue pulled Han Qingmei and walked forward.

Not long after, the whole family appeared at the gate of Jinxiufang, looking at the plaque in front of her, Han Qingmei became even more timid: "Xiaoyue, why don't we change to another one, this one definitely can't use your mother's embroidery .”

"Don't be afraid, mother. Give me the embroidery. I'll ask. You just wait here for me." Seeing Han Qingmei like this, Jiang Duyue lost the battle before he even started talking about business. I'm afraid that people don't dare to ask for what they originally wanted.

Han Qingmei hesitated for a moment, thinking that she should stand in front of the child at this time, instead of holding him back, gritted her teeth, and explained to Jiang Shouren: "You take the child and wait for me here, I will go in and ask."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards Jinxiufang, Jiang Duyue looked at Han Qingmei's thin back, was very relieved, and quickly raised her heels to go in.

Entering Jinxiufang, rows of brightly colored embroidery immediately come into view, making people dizzy. There are festive red peonies, snow-white wintersweet, elegant orchids... In short, almost all the flowers you want are here.

In other words, most of the embroidery here is based on flowers, no wonder three of the four embroidery pieces by Cheap Lady are peonies.

After seeing these embroidery, the courage that Han Qingmei had gathered with great difficulty immediately dissipated: "Xiaoyue, why don't we change to another family?"

Jiang Duyue didn't speak, just scanned the embroidery here, thinking about something secretly.

At this time, a woman in her thirties came down from the second floor together with a young woman, and they were talking while walking.

The young woman sighed first: "It's really worrying. My father never loved gold, silver and jade, but only loved to recite poems and make love. Now my good sister has given me such a problem. If my father is not satisfied then, then But it's all my fault!"

The woman replied with a smile: "Miss Yang, don't worry, isn't there still ten days left? If you think about it again, you will definitely come up with a good idea!"

"Don't comfort me, I'm here today just to see if you have anything suitable here, but after looking around, hey..." The young woman glanced at the embroidery hanging on the first floor, and couldn't help it. Another sigh.

"It's because my place is small, and I really don't have much to sell. Since Mr. Yang is so elegant, why don't you find a rare book as a birthday gift?" After thinking for a while, the woman carefully suggested.

The young woman sighed more heavily: "Don't mention it, I used this method the year before last, how can I use the same method twice? Even if my father doesn't bother me by then, I'm afraid the elder sister will give me away with spit. drowned!"

Seeing this, the woman couldn't say anything more. At this time, the two had already reached the first floor. The woman was about to send Miss Yang out when she heard a crisp voice from behind: "Sister, are you Are you worried about not knowing what gift to give your elders?"
