After a while, Old Zheng walked in front of the pony and came over.
"Little girl, what do the farm tools you are talking about look like? What do you want them to be used for?"
Chen Wanbai choked. Are there no farm tools she mentioned here?
Looking at Old Zhengtou’s curious eyes, she gave a rough explanation of the items she needed.
"Little girl, where did you know all this?"
"Uncle Zheng, I saw this in a book before." Chen Wanbai's expression remained unchanged. Said without jumping.
"Are you still literate?" Old Zhengtou was very surprised.
"I don't know much. My father taught me a few things in the past."
Chen Wanbai's words are true. Although Chen Da'an is just a big-headed soldier, he can be seen in the military camp. I also learned some simple calligraphy and taught Chen Wanbai after I came back.
At this time, Wan Chaogui leaned into Lao Zhengtou's ear and said, "She is brother Da'an's daughter."
Lao Zhengtou suddenly realized that Chen Daan had a very good relationship with him. , often have wine together.
"Little girl, I don't have these things here right now. If you're not in a hurry, you can come back and pick them up in two days."
Chen Wanbai thought to himself, I have been in a hurry these days. Build a house. There was really no rush, so I agreed.
She said: "Then it's troublesome, Uncle Zheng. I'll come back to you in two days."
Old Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble, Your father and I are good brothers, and his daughter is my daughter. I will take care of this little thing."
Lao Zhengtou chatted with Chen Wanbai for a few more words and praised her. .
Chen Wanbai bought two axes, a saw, a small iron pot for cooking and some small tools for carpentry, totaling twenty taels of silver.
Lao Zhengtou refused to collect the money, and Liu naturally refused, and it was inconvenient for both parties to force him.
Finally, Chen Wanbai forced the money into Lao Zhengtou's hand, saying that if he didn't accept it, he would not come back in two days.
Lao Zhengtou reluctantly accepted it and called Xiao Ma to give him a shovel and a spoon for cooking.
The group of people then left the blacksmith shop with Old Zhengtou seeing them off.
After buying some vegetables and seasonings at the market, they returned to Buzhuang.
When Mrs. Sun saw someone coming, she didn’t waste any time. She greeted Xiaohua and moved the things out together. Wan Chaogui at the door immediately stepped forward to take it and put it on the bullock cart.
"Yuzhen, I will deliver the handkerchief in two days."
Tian Guihua said hello and climbed onto the bullock cart.
Mrs. Sun didn’t leave anyone behind, and she would miss going back for dinner if it was too late. Besides, there are men around, so it’s not convenient for them to stay for dinner.
Several people sat on a bullock cart and walked slowly towards the village, the wheels making a "creep" sound.The hot weather made people feel a little bored, and the earth seemed to be enveloped by a heat wave.
Along the way, they did not meet any passers-by, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, with only the chirping of cicadas. The air echoed. Sweat continued to fall from their foreheads, and their clothes were soaked.
After walking for a while, they saw a big tree and decided to rest under it. The shade of the big tree brought them a bit of coolness and made people feel a little comfortable.
Chen Wanbai stood under the tree and looked around, and his eyes fell on a large lotus leaf not far away. .
After talking to a few people, he left the shade of the tree.
This chapter is not over yet. Click on the next page to continue reading.
Jog to the lotus pond. I took a handful of water to wash my face, calmed down my hot heart, and pulled off a large lotus leaf and covered my head, as if I had found a natural parasol.
He pulled a few more pieces, ran back to the bottom of the tree as fast as he could, and handed the lotus leaves to several people with a smile.
On the way back from Qingshi Town, he would not pass through Guhuai Village. In addition, the weather was unbearably hot, so the ox cart had been parked in front of the cabin without encountering a single villager.
This made Liu, who had been worried all the way, finally feel relieved. He let out a long sigh of relief.
"Sister Liu, if anyone sees it, just say it was the money I lent you. Don't be afraid, those two from the Chen family don't dare to come to my house to cause trouble. "
"Sigh... But this is not good after all. What if your sister-in-law and sister-in-law misunderstand me. "
Tian Guihua originally wanted to say that her sister-in-law and sister-in-law treated her very well, but her heart was divided. As a sister-in-law who returned home after leaving, she was in a somewhat awkward and delicate situation.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Wanbai began to think about it.
She thought to herself that although this place was far away from the village and there was only Wan Chaogui's family nearby, there would always be people there. Villagers passing by on their way to Qingshi Town or Qinghuai Mountain
Now it is possible to hide some things, but she cannot hide her plan to build a house. She will definitely not be able to hide it when the time comes. The Chen family still doesn’t know what to make of it.
“Sister Guihua, don’t leave, stay and have dinner together! "Liu's urgent voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Chen Wanbai's thoughts.
Only then did she suddenly realize that Wan Chaogui had already helped place the things in the cabin. At the door, he drove the bullock cart and headed home.
Tian Guihua was holding something and was about to leave, but Liu held her hand tightly.
"I'd better go home and eat. "Tian Guihua said.
"What time is it now? Where can you get something to eat when you go home? Just stay, it's really not a problem. "Ms. Liu tried her best to hold backLeave a path.
Mrs. Liu naturally knew that Tian Guihua did not want to eat her family's food, so she wanted to go home.
But they went out of their way to deliver food to them early in the morning and even accompanied them to the town. It is really unjustifiable if we don’t leave people to eat.
"Aunt Tian, please stay. My son is very hot right now. If he gets a heat stroke, we two will be very uncomfortable."
After a lot of hard work, After soaking it in, Tian Guihua finally agreed with some embarrassment.
Liu and Tian Guihua went to cook together, while Chen Wanbai squatted under the shade of a tree and started weaving fish baskets.
The fish baskets she weaves are roughly conical in shape, and their mouths are relatively small. Then she weaved a smaller cone, leaving a small hole in the middle to create a structure that could only go in but not get out.
Next, she tied the small cone tightly to the big cone with rattan.
In this way, she made four fish baskets.
Chen Wanbai held a large lotus leaf on his head and a fish basket in his hand, walking towards the small ditch.
She walked along the downstream direction of the small ditch, placing a fish basket into the water at intervals. One end of the fish basket was tied tightly, while the other end was tied with stones and placed on the shore.
When she came back from putting away the fish basket, lunch was already ready.
A plate of boiled meat, the half marinated last night. There is also a plate of boiled loofah.
Originally, Tian Guihua said that boiling the water spinach would be enough. She brought the water spinach this morning. However, Mrs. Liu insisted on cooking the piece of pork, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop it.
Tian Guihua doesn’t mind if there is no table. The three of them were squatting next to the stove, with two clay pots placed on the ground. They each picked out vegetables from the clay pots and ate them with relish.
After eating, Tian Guihua no longer ignored the Liu family's mother and daughter's obstruction and had to go home. She said there are still many chores waiting for her to do at home. Seeing this scene, Liu's mother and daughter couldn't force anyone to stay, so they could only helplessly watch Tian Guihua leave under the scorching sun.
