Chapter 135 Selling tomatoes and peppers

Liu Pan'er raised her eyebrows and sneered twice, "Who in the village would lend money to others now? The third widow will be back soon. She will definitely have money, or her own money, but definitely not her own money. For example, she

My daughter-in-law is hiding her personal money."

This is also true. After a while, the third widow came over, still angry, and it turned out that she had "robbed" three taels of silver from her daughter-in-law.

As soon as I heard these words, I didn’t mean what I said.

How could the Third Widow's daughter-in-law hide money when she treats her like a chicken? It's just the Third Widow's excuse.

The third widow got a homestead of two acres. She wanted to go to the valley, but because she measured the homestead late, there was no free space in the valley, so she could only draw the homestead on the same spot.

When people around her saw that the third widow continued to stay here, they stayed away and did not want to get too close to her home.

We had lunch at Village Chief Li’s house, where Liu and Zhou Cuihua’s family cooked. They had braised pork and beaten rabbit, braised rabbit meat, stir-fried eels with green peppers, stir-fried fresh sweet potato leaves, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Starting from today, there is a place called Lijia Village below Cuiyang County.

Although they were very tired, the people in Lijia Village were very excited.

The same is true for Liu Pan'er's family. Next, they are waiting for the various documents produced by the government to be sent back.

The family gathered around the big table, drinking rice porridge with pickles and eating with gusto.

Ms. Liu looked at Liu Paner and said, "Third brothers and sisters, the land at home has been measured. Are you going to the county seat tomorrow?"

Liu Pan'er nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, tomorrow morning we will pick melons, tomatoes and peppers. After selling the melons, I will take Dabao and drive the ox cart to the county seat. On the one hand, we will pick the delicious ones."

After the business is settled, I will try to make more money. On the other hand, I also want to go to the seed shop in the county to buy some vegetables such as radishes that can be planted in late summer. Plant the land first and don't leave it empty."

Mrs. Liu agreed, "What the third brother and sister said is that the idiot has a bad temper, but he is a good farmer. The dozen acres of land he has opened are really good."

"Yeah, although it costs a lot of money, I think it's a good deal." Liu Pan'er replied that going to the seed store in the county was just a cover. She had a lot of seeds in her space, so she would choose the suitable ones to plant.

Li Dabao was also very excited, "Mom, we went to the county this time and sold tomatoes and peppers. Can you write a letter to dad? Send the message over?"

Li Dabao's words attracted everyone's attention, and the children all looked at Liu Pan'er.

Under the gaze of so many people, Liu Pan'er could no longer refuse, "Okay, if the money is enough, I will write a letter to your father and find someone to deliver it."

"Thank you, mother." Li Dabao smiled happily.

Li Rong also smiled happily, "Mom, dad will be very happy when he receives the letter."

"Maybe dad will come back to see us soon." Li Xiaobao was also quite happy. Although he had no impression of his dad, he heard from his brothers and sisters that he was doing well.

Li Nan also smiled and said: "That's great, I miss daddy."

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she felt sour in her heart, "You are all these heartless little ones. When you mentioned your father, you forgot about me as your mother, huh!"

Several children saw Liu Pan'er pretending to be angry and ran over with smiles. The older child hugged Liu Pan'er's arm and the younger child hugged his legs. "Hello, mom, mom is the best."

Liu Pan'er was happy, rolled her eyes, pursed her lips to suppress a smile, "Then tell me what's good about me?"

"Mom knows how to cook."

"My mother knows how to farm."

"Mom can make money."

"Mom knows how to fight."

······

Several children told all the good things about Liu Pan'er, and for a while, the cave was filled with joyful laughter.

Ms. Liu was envious, but she was content with having two daughters by her side.

Today's life is very good.

The next morning, there were a few cotton-like white clouds floating in the blue sky.

Wrapped in the morning mist, the rising sun illuminates this fertile land. The gentle breeze is quite cool.

The mental outlook of the people in Lijiacun today is very different from before.

From today on, they are residents of Lijia Village, Cuiyang County. They no longer have to go back to their hometown, and they no longer have to flee for work every few years.

Liu Pan'er left Li Rong at home with Li Xiaobao and Li Nan to make breakfast, and then went to the fields with her sister-in-law and the older children to pick melons.

Nowadays, when the melons and croissant are at their peak fruiting stage, they can be much riper in just two days.

Today Liu Pan'er's family picked six baskets of cantaloupe and six baskets of horn honey, and Village Chief Li's family picked five baskets of cantaloupe and four baskets of horn honey.

The coachman sent by Mrs. Wu gave Liu Pan'er's family three taels and fifty cents, and gave the village chief two taels and seventy cents.

Liu Pan'er's family picked four baskets of tomatoes, some of which were already ripe, and some of which were only seven or eight years old. These tomatoes only need to be left for two days to turn red, and taste just like the ripe ones.

Four baskets of peppers were picked and placed on the bullock cart.

Seeing this, Village Chief Li stepped forward and asked: "From the Yuan Qing family, you go to the county seat now. When you get there, it will probably be dark."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Now that the weather is long, the city gates are closed an hour later than before, so we can enter the city in time."

"Let's do this. My aunt and I will go to the county town with you. Otherwise, we won't be worried if you and Dabao go to the county town." After village chief Li thought for a moment, he decided to go to the county town with Liu Pan'er.

Lijiacun can achieve its current good results thanks to the Yuan Qing family.

For someone who is so capable and has a good relationship with his family, Village Chief Li will of course help Liu Pan'er.

Liu Pan'er thought about it and did not refuse the village chief's kindness, "Uncle village chief, thank you. Then I will trouble you to come with me today and tomorrow. I will go to the county to see if there are any good seeds to plant in autumn and winter.

.”

"Okay, now go back and have breakfast quickly, don't waste time." Village Chief Li urged, it is better to arrive at the county seat early than late.

After returning home, Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao had breakfast quickly. As soon as they put down their chopsticks, Zhou Cuihua called Liu Pan'er at the door to set off.

Zhou Cuihua was sitting on an ox cart, with her eldest grandson Mao Dan sitting next to her, and Village Chief Li was driving the ox cart.

Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao also hurriedly drove the ox cart and headed towards the county town.

Her business empire is slowly opening up.

Mrs. Liu looked at the backs of her three younger siblings leaving, a little worried, but very much looking forward to it. She is living a comfortable life now and has hope.

Along the way, Liu Pan'er and others only rested for a while when they ate dry food at noon, and spent the rest of the time on the road.

The ripe tomatoes were placed in the basket with thick straw, and even worn cotton clothes were placed underneath to prevent them from being broken.

As the sun set, Liu Pan'er and others arrived at the county town, paid the fee to enter the city, and checked the roads before letting them in.
