A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 53 Buying Food
Li Xi chatted with Zhang and waited for the village chief to come back.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this time. The village chief came back with his two sons after a while. Li Xi stood up and saw Zhao Tian, ​​but Zhao Yuan hadn't. He came back who didn't want to work in the town. Thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang is going to marry him a wife, so why don't you come back and prepare.

"Brother Zhao Yuan came back and I took him to the field to have a look, but I made you wait a little longer." The village chief laughed when he came back, it seems that he is also happy for his son's marriage.

"No, I interrupted you." Li Xi waved his hand and nodded at Zhao Yuan and Zhao Tian: "Brother Zhao Yuan, Brother Zhao Tian."

"Sit down quickly when younger brothers and sisters come." Zhao Yuan looks very similar to the village head, with a bit of a big frame, and carpentry is also a laborious job. It seems that he is well adapted.

As soon as the village chief sat down, he took out the cigarette bag and clicked it. When he was done, he said to Li Xi: "Let's have dinner here tonight, and then I will ask your aunt to fix the seeds for you. You grow wheat on your two acres of dry land. As for that You don’t have to worry about rice seeding, and you have more time to raise seedlings at home, so you can take two loads from the field back when the time comes, which should be enough.”

"Okay, but I won't be eating here tonight. I've cooked everything at home." Of course, there is no cooking at home. Zhao Yuan came back after a long time. What kind of fun did the two of them join in the family meal, so they just talked nonsense. reason.

Maybe the village head wasn't too firm, he agreed after a few words, and Mrs. Zhang brought the wheat seeds over there. The two mu of land doesn't need much, and Li Xi didn't want to take advantage of it for nothing, even though the village head said yes It was free, but she took out the silver money anyway.

"What is this for? Take it back." When he saw Village Chief Qian, his face darkened, and he stopped smoking.

Li Xi knew that this would happen, so he could only say nicely: "I can't let you spend money all the time."

"Sister-in-law, why are you so polite when you are all from your own family?" Zhao Tian also advised.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law should take back the money quickly." Zhao Yuan also said.

Mrs. Zhang was pleasantly surprised when she saw Li Xi giving the money, but seeing that the head of the family and her two sons said so, although she was a little unhappy, she couldn't say anything else, so she could only follow suit: "You child, my family It's difficult, your uncle and aunt are worse than you."

"The so-called brothers still settle accounts clearly. We are relatives, but it doesn't need to be the case. You should take the money." Li Xi insisted, but she was like this, and the village chief was also very firm. Finally, he couldn't help but think about it and said: " I forgot, I wanted to buy some grain at home, and I wanted to buy it in the town, but it was tiring to go back and forth, so I wanted to see if there was anyone selling it in the village, second uncle, do you have any grain you want to sell at home?"

"Buy food." When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she beamed and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, there are some at home."

"Is there no food, no need to buy it, Second Uncle will order it for you."

Li Xi shook his head: "Second Uncle's food is not washed by the flood. In the past, it was okay to say, you can help us. Now we have some money in our hands. Since we say we want to buy it, we must be regular. If you say this again If not, I'll go somewhere else."

"That's right, Xi'er is so sensible, aren't you embarrassing the child?" Mrs. Zhang also stabbed the village head twice, and the seeds are fine, why should the food be given for free? I'm happy, no one's life is so easy these days, she has two sons, and it doesn't cost money to marry a wife to go to school, she is just dissatisfied with her being the head of the family.

"This..." The village head was also in a dilemma. He glared at Mrs. Zhang, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Xi: "Second uncle, don't say any more. Do you think the price of grain is calculated according to the price in the town?"

"All right, all right, I'll weigh how many catties you want." Mrs. Zhang was delighted, her son would get married soon, and there would be plenty of places to spend money.

"If it doesn't bother you, let's weigh [-] catties first." Li Xi has inquired about the price of grain, and it's almost [-] cents a catty, which is not too cheap, and [-] catties can be considered as a use of the little money she has. Most of the time, she wasn't worried. It didn't cost money to repair the house, but it was just to make some delicious food and hunt more prey. There was no need to worry if there was food at home.

"Fifty catties." Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed. She didn't expect it to be so much. She clapped her hands and decided: "Okay, okay, I'll go and weigh it for you. I'm going to eat here today, and I'll let you weigh it later." Brother Yuan sent it over."

"There's no need to eat. The food at home is ready, but I have to ask brother Zhao Yuan to deliver it." Li Xi still refused to stay for dinner.

"Hey." The village chief didn't have a chance to interject when he wanted to speak, and finally shook his head and acquiesced. After all, he also had to think about his family: "If you want to go home for dinner, go back early, and let Zhao Yuan give it to you later. Food sent."

"Hey, thank you, Second Uncle." Li Xi responded crisply, and after a few polite words, Zhao Mu left with Mai Zhong.

After returning home, I put the rice into the pot, and then let Zhao Mu light the fire below, and I opened the bag of wheat seeds to see that the quality of the seeds was not very good, but she didn't mind, so I put the wheat seeds in a sack and put them on the head. Tie it up, put it in a wooden basin, and then she took out the Lingquan water and sprinkled the sacks containing the seeds little by little. With the irrigation of the Lingquan, I believe that in the future, the wheat will grow gratifyingly when it germinates and grow, and the harvest will also increase.

Let's go back and see how the rice seedlings at the village head's house are doing. It should be early rice now, and the seedlings have germinated. It won't be long before they can be planted. Well, that's good, the wheat is just in time to catch up with the rice.

Li Xi couldn't sleep when she was lying in bed at night. I will borrow the cow from Li's house tomorrow. Since she has to plow the field immediately, it seems that she has no plow at home. If she knew it, she should have told the village chief today. all at once.

"Xi'er, I plow the fields."

Zhao Mu was still sharing the same bed with her, and he startled her with a sudden sentence. She didn't expect that she couldn't fall asleep and talked to herself, but she spoke out her heart. He rolled his eyes: "Why don't you go to bed, go to bed, it's getting late."

"I can plow the fields." A very stubborn voice said, and turned around.

The two quilt covers have been washed, the quilts have been dried, and the quilts have been dried so that there is no musty smell. The two of them are now one person and one quilt. It's not that they didn't want to drive this guy away, but they haven't succeeded.

"Okay, okay, you plow the field, you plow." Seeing this stupefaction coming again, Li Xi had no choice but to coax, but he was silently complaining in his heart, this guy probably doesn't even know what plowing is for.

"Sleep, I'm sleepy, go to bed quickly, don't disturb me, or you will go back to your own room tomorrow." After these words were released, no accident, Zhao Mu obediently shut up and went to sleep. Not stupid at all.
