Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

"Still angry?" Xi Yanqing held a bowl of red fruit in one hand, and poked Luo Fei whose back was facing him and refused to look at him with the other.This kid is quite angry, and if he is angry, he really won't talk to him all day.

"Can't I apologize to you? I really didn't know you were so afraid of wriggling bugs." Xi Yanqing was also helpless.When I entered the mountain early in the morning, I thought that Luo Fei's anger should be gone after returning, but I didn't expect that the boy was still wringing his hands. The clothes were washed for him, but dinner was not cooked.

"If you ignore me again, I'll eat all of this by myself." Xi Yanqing brought the bowl to Luo Fei to show him, "It's even better than black nightshade."

Luo Fei immediately pricked up his ears.

Better than nightshade? !

So what!It was picked by Xi Dahu. I don't know if the mouth is soft but the hands are short!Have some ambition, you!

But the big tiger thinks of you when he has delicious food, and treats you so well.

That's right...

Luo Fei groped quietly and turned his head to look in the bowl, a stream of saliva ran between his teeth in an instant.It really is a fruit he has never seen before, red, fleshy, each one is about the size of a marble, juicy and sweet!

Seeing that Luo Fei finally moved, Xi Yanqing took a small red fruit and handed it to Luo Fei's mouth to feed him.

Luo Fei stuck out his tongue and licked it, then bit into it.The small fruit immediately burst into juice in his mouth, making his mouth full of sweetness!

"What is this?" The little donkey was finally willing to speak after gaining the sweetness.

"This is a raspberry. My hometown calls him Guoguo, and other places call him soaked in March and April. There are many names. But the scientific name is raspberry." Xi Yanqing fed Luo Fei again One, "How do you feel? Isn't it delicious?"

"Well, I didn't expect it to be so soft." Luo Fei also fed Xi Yanqing a grain, and then said "Hey?!": "It's raining outside?!"

"Well, it started to fall on the way back. It's okay, not too big." It's just that his clothes were still a little wet, after all, he didn't bring an umbrella when he went out.

"Then you change your clothes quickly. I'll get you something to eat and keep you warm." This place can make money and get angry, but it can't get sick.

"I thought you didn't cook." I was hungry when I entered the door, but I didn't look at the food when I lifted the lid of the pot, thinking that Luo Fei was so angry that he didn't cook.

"I cooked the rice." Luo Fei pouted, "But I still felt a little angry afterwards, so I secretly hid it, and I'll bring it to you."

Luo Fei brought porridge, flower rolls, a plate of mixed vegetables, and a plate of cut pork meat from Mu Ling into the house, and put them on the kang table for Xi Yanqing.Xi Yanqing sat down on the kang and waited to eat.The kang was warmed by Luo Fei, and Xi Yanqing felt warm in his heart as he ate the flower rolls and drank the porridge.So, this little daughter-in-law is still not hurting in vain, she is awkward in her mouth, but she is caring in her heart.

Xi Yanqing smiled, and at this moment Luo Fei asked, "Are these raspberries also picked in the mountains?"

Luo Fei remembered that when Yan Qing didn't have to work in the fields, he would go up the mountain most of the time, and every time he came back to get some medicinal materials or some wild fruits and vegetables, he tried his best not to be empty-handed anyway.

"Yes, it was also picked in the mountains." Xi Yanqing said, "I wrote down the location. If you like it, I will pick it for you in two days. It's a pity that the season is not right, otherwise I would bring a few branches back to breed. Let’s go to autumn, I’ll get some, and then I’ll plant it for you at home, as long as it’s alive, you can pick it and eat it anytime next year when you’re at home.”

"You've recognized my foodie nature, grasped it, right?" Luo Fei poked Xi Yanqing, "Don't scare me with bugs in the future, if you scare me again, I won't let you in the house! You said that I am particularly afraid of those things. Spiders and cockroaches don’t matter, but I am afraid of wriggling things, and I feel itchy when I look at them.”

"Understood, I won't scare you with it again." Xi Yanqing was full after a while, put away the dishes and took them out, "Eat slowly, I'll go out and tidy up the medicinal materials I got today."

"Isn't it okay to tidy up tomorrow?" In the past, I often got up early the next day to clean up, and then let the air dry.

"Isn't it raining today? I'm afraid that if I don't clean it up, it will be easy to cover up in the morning."

"Then clean up together." Luo Fei followed out with a bowl, and said to Xi Yanqing, "Open your mouth, ah..."

"Why?" Xi Yanqing said so, but opened his mouth cooperatively, and then Luo Fei grabbed a handful of raspberries and put them in his mouth.The raspberry juice was immediately sweet to his heart.

The young couple squatted down and cleaned up the herbs, and picked up a large pot of dandelions by the way.This thing is also common in modern times, and some people grow it in greenhouses.It is indeed a good thing. It can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also has anti-inflammatory effects.Xi Yanqing found it at the foot of the mountain this time, and there are not many such things in the mountain.He plans to make more in the future, and eat some with Luo Fei if he has nothing to do. Anyway, it is just a dish, and eating too much will be harmful to the body, but eating a little from time to time will have great benefits.

The dandelions may have been wilted at first because they had been cut for a long time, but after they were cleaned up, they were pulled out with well water, and the next day they were as fresh as the ones that grew in the ground.

Luo Fei thought that the rain would stop after sleeping all night, but he didn't expect that the next day it would rain even harder than the night before, making it inconvenient to pick vegetables.Fortunately, there are dandelions in the house, so I eat steamed buns with sauce, and eat an egg and porridge for each person. The nutrition is not bad.Although dandelion is bitter, but it is sweet in my heart.

Huaping Village is located in the northeast, with distinct seasons throughout the year.The summer here is not as sultry as in the south, but the hottest months in July and August are not so pleasant.It's cooler now that it's raining.Luo Fei moved a small chair and sat at the door embroidering. It was rare to be able to get along with Xi Yanqing in broad daylight.

Xi Yanqing borrowed a book about herbal medicine from Dr. Liang, and read it next to Luo Fei.He is a student of agriculture, and he only knows about herbs that he has been exposed to before, but that is not enough, so he plans to learn more.

The couple seem to be busy with their own work, but their eyes will meet in the air from time to time. They look at each other and smile, making even the air sweet.

Xi Yanqing couldn't bear it, put down the book and kissed Luo Fei's brow and eyes, and then heard a "tick", and something fell on Luo Fei's forehead.

Xi Yanqing frowned and wiped Luo Fei's face dry, then looked at the roof, damn it, it's raining? !

"Where's the basin? Quickly grab a basin!" Luo Fei said.

"Let's take the bucket." Xi Yanqing went to get the bucket, and put it away at the leaking spot, and the young couple also moved it.

"It seems that we really need to hurry up and repair the house." Luo Fei said a little anxiously, "Brother Qing, this house won't collapse, will it?"

"Unless it rains heavily for a long time, it won't. At most, some water has entered the house." Xi Yanqing patted Luo Fei's head, "Scared?"

"Not really. But the two of us only have this one nest. If it disappears, there will be no one to return home." Although the place is dilapidated, Luo Fei has already developed some feelings for it.He wipes every piece of furniture here with his own hands, sweeps the ground every day, enters the vegetable garden every day, and feeds the chickens and ducks every day.Two days ago, he even bought some flower seedlings from Aunt Zhou and planted them, just waiting for them to add some splendor to the small yard.

"I will strive to build a new house next year or the year after at the latest." Xi Yanqing held Luo Fei's hand, "Come with me."

"what?"

Xi Yanqing didn't reply.After he entered the room, he opened the cabinet and rummaged through it, and took out more than two taels of silver in a very hidden place: "This is what I saved from selling medicinal materials for a while, why don't I put it in your place?"

Even though Luo Fei was born in a wealthy family, spending money is still very planned.Xi Yanqing was at ease with him before, but now she is even more at ease with him.

After thinking about it, Luo Fei said, "You should keep it. The money on your side can be used as long as you can, and when you save enough, you can buy cattle or build a house. I will keep the money on my side. I We also try our best to solve our daily expenses."

He made some embroidery and took it to Boss Li, and Boss Li took it every time.Although the price has never been raised and is still the same, Luo Fei feels that the money he earns is no problem for him to live on.

Since Xi Yan is in charge, Luo Fei does not do needlework at night.Xi Yanqing was afraid that Luo Fei's neck, shoulders and eyes would be damaged, so he watched closely.Luo Fei is not doing as many pieces a day as he did at the beginning.He probably makes one or two pieces a day, no more than three pieces at most, and most of them are purses, which are easy to see compared to the small sachets, so that after the cost is removed, there will be five to fifteen cents left per day. No big deal is enough to get by.

No, Luo Fei has saved more than ten days of embroidery work, which is enough to go to the town again.

"My wife is so capable." Xi Yanqing boasted sincerely, feeling that Luo Fei surprised him a lot.

"I don't earn as much as you, but my life is enough. In this way, all the money you earn can be saved." Luo Fei thought about it, although such a life can't be considered rich, but at least it can be regarded as initially stable.

"Take your time, as long as the two of us are determined to make progress, life will only get better and better."

"Yeah." Luo Fei leaned on Xi Yanqing's shoulder, and suddenly asked: "Brother Qing. How do you think I can sell my purse more expensive? That Boss Li, ah, he is so good at talking. But him. He pays the same price every time."

"It's easy, don't always embroider those few familiar patterns." Xi Yanqing put Luo Fei's head on his shoulder lightly again, "Let me give you a simple example. Look at the food sold in the supermarket." , beverages, and other school supplies, are they always being upgraded? Some may just change the packaging, some just change the taste, but every change will increase the price. Consumers are not easy to accept The price of original items has increased, but fresh items are more expensive than those they are familiar with, but people will still try to buy them, this is the mentality of everyone chasing new things.”

"Then what if he doesn't raise the price?"

"That's not scary. Next time we go to the embroidery workshop, we'll ask. If it's not possible, Boss Li will be hanged from a tree." Xi Yanqing said, "Let's see if the day is good. Let's go together, and I'll talk to him."

"Okay, let's buy delicious food for the extra parts!" Luo Fei said, "Put your things away, I'll go out and see what's missing at home, and buy them when I go to town."

In this place, everything that can be self-sufficient is self-sufficient, such as rice noodles, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, soybean paste, vegetables, chicken and duck.Some people even weave their own cloth.But they came just in time for spring, and they didn't have anything at home, so so far they have to buy everything except vegetables.

In the past, Luo Fei would definitely have asked Han Xu if he wanted to go to the town together, but Han Xu just got married, and he might not be that light bulb when he was mixing oil with Chen Huazhang, so as soon as the sky cleared, he would just Went to the town with Xi Yanqing.

Due to the rush of time, Luo Fei didn't have time to get too many new designs this time. Most of the designs he brought this time were the designs and colors he had embroidered before, and only three were newly embroidered by him. Two embroidered canaries and one embroidered mandarin ducks.Embroidering the mandarin ducks was more troublesome, and I only got one in a day, but the canary's was embroidered twice because the colors were not so complicated.

The original Luo Fei of each color sells for ten cash, but the two new Luo Feizhuan sell for at least twelve cash. If it is higher, fifteen cash is the best.

However, Xi Yanqing didn't think so.When I saw Boss Li in the cloth shop, Xi Yanqing said that the canary ones cost 25 renminbi, and the mandarin duck ones cost [-] renminbi.This is a new trick. Anyway, there are only a few of them, and Boss Li doesn't care if he accepts them or not.

Boss Li opened a shop to do business, and he was doing long-term business. How could he not be tempted by new tricks?That's the thing about selling things. If you sell them around, anyone will get tired of those two things after watching them for a long time, but this new thing is different.The lady from the rich family came to see it, and bought it if she liked it?When the time comes, a group of girls will have more chat capital when they get together.

Everyone has vanity, who doesn't care for good things?

But Boss Li felt that he could not give as much as he wanted, so he would not be led by the nose in the long run?

"The price you mentioned is too expensive. How much do I have to sell? I have to sell fifty coins to make any money." Boss Li said, "Let's make it cheaper. If it's cheaper, I'll be the same as before, long-term I accept this embroidery from you."

"If you want to accept me for a long time, I can't do it for a long time. You are an expert, and you can tell that this thing will take a lot of work. You have to pay attention to the quality. If I want to embroider a few more eyes, it will be difficult." Luo Fei followed Xi Yanqing taught him on the way and said to Boss Li, "Anyway, there are not many, and rare things are expensive, so don't bargain with me. Why don't you see who in this town can embroider like this?" "

"Hi, the proprietress of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop will."

"She will, then she also sells it in her own embroidery workshop, so she can't send it to you, can she?" Xi Yanqing said and looked at Luo Fei: "Or don't sell this, keep it, it happened yesterday Did the Three Treasures come over and say they like it? Just leave it to her."

"Three Treasures..." When did Three Treasures come to you yesterday?Luo Fei thought it was funny, but he didn't refute it.Luo Xiaoying was online in an instant.With a troubled look on his face, he finally said: "Come on, that's my sister, and no one can wrong her if she is wronged." Luo Fei sighed heavily: "Boss Li, then I won't sell these few, you Let’s accept all the original tricks.”

"How can it be done?" Boss Li had thought about meeting Luo Fei and asking him to embroider more patterns, but he did it before he said anything, so of course he had to ask for it.This was initiated by the other party, and what he asked for was two different things.If he took the initiative to ask for it, he naturally had to accommodate the other party to a certain extent, but if the other party took the initiative, then he had to accommodate him a little.

"That's okay. You see, I just embroider things to pass the time and earn pocket money. Even if I don't do anything, my brother can support me." Luo Fei said, "You collect these Alright, I'll take it and leave."

"Don't, brother Luo, you are not kind. You send things to me, we are mutually beneficial." Boss Li thought for a while, "Well, you give me five cents each. This canary I’ll take fifteen yuan for the mandarin ducks, twenty yuan for the mandarin ducks, and the original price for the rest, don’t you think so?”

"Look at you, your main business is selling fabrics and ready-made clothes. You put this little thing here just to add extra tea money. What are you talking about with me about these little things?"

"Oh, I'm paying for the tea, I don't dare to drink such expensive tea." Boss Li said, "It's okay, but in the future, if you have these new gadgets, you have to send them to me, and you can't send them to other places. Especially Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, I have a problem with the proprietress of that shop!"

"Hey, you big head Li! What are you talking about behind my back!" said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Lu Ruyi came in with a scent of fragrance.This person is the proprietress of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, who opened Ruyi Embroidery Workshop in the town, and there are two long-term helpers in the embroidery workshop.

"What are you doing here again?" Boss Li hates people calling him Big Head Li!He has a big head, but it doesn't bother anyone!

"You opened a shop to do business, and you didn't get someone to come in?!" Lu Ruyi choked at him, seeing Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing, and seeing Luo Fei holding a purse in his hand, "Little brother, this purse I'm afraid you didn't embroider it?"

"Yes, sister. Is there any problem?" Luo Fei saw that the other party spoke neatly, but he had a good impression.

"God help me, I came here just to ask if Big Head Li can find you." Lu Ruyi looked at Luo Fei's purse on the cloth, "Don't tell me, this embroidery work is good."

"What do you mean?! I'm telling you Lu Ruyi! Don't come to steal my business!" Boss Li walked around the counter and snatched the purse from Lu Ruyi's hand, "Brother Luo, I'll settle the money for you, you just don't want to buy it!" Come back. Next time if you have something, just bring it to me!"

"You man, I haven't spoken yet. Who are you chasing?!" Lu Ruyi pondered, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with you anyway. Brother Luo, take the money and follow me. I have something to do with you discuss."

"What's the matter?" Luo Fei asked.

"It's about making money." Lu Ruyi "Papa!" patted the cloth twice, "Hurry up, Li has a big head, what are you looking at? Give him money!"

"Brother Xiao Luo, let's make an agreement, we won't send any embroidery to her in the future!"

"As long as Boss Li is happy to give the money, he will naturally not send it to other homes."

Boss Li glared at Lu Ruyi, and counted out 210 and five copper coins.Originally, according to his intention, he wanted to give Luo Fei two hundred copper coins, but now that Lu Ruyi is here, it is difficult for him to lower the price.

Luo Fei got the money, but didn't count it. After thanking Boss Li, he left the cloth shop with Lu Ruyi.

Lu Ruyi introduced herself on the way first, and then asked Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing where they came from, and when she learned that they were a couple, she said with a smile, "It's a good match."

Xi Yanqing likes to hear this the most!He asked with a smile, "I don't know why Elder Sister Lu consulted with my Luo Fei?"

Lu Ruyi made a gesture of invitation: "Come into my embroidery workshop and talk. It's hot, sister treats you two to a bowl of sour plum soup!"

It's almost noon, so it's getting hot.Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing saw that they were open for business, so they didn't hesitate much.After entering, I found a place to sit down and looked at the embroidery at random.

In fact, it's not the first time Luo Fei came here, but he didn't see the proprietress when he came for the first time.

Lu Ruyi also drank some sour plum soup: "It's a hot day, so I won't go around in circles. Let's put it this way, brother Luo, I just want to ask you if you want to do embroidery work."

"What embroidery?"

"There are so many patterns on the clothes, as well as quilts, hats, belts, and shoes. Where can I embroider them?" Lu Ruyi said, "This is really not my sister's big talk. With your craftsmanship, embroidery Why not make more money than at Li Datou's? There are not many rich families in our small place, but the embroidery of these few families are all made in my house, so it is already a lot." She heard that she The customers here said that the purse sold by Li Datou is very good at embroidery, and the embroidery is also different from other embroidery methods. She still thinks it is too exaggerated, but after going there, she finds that it is true.It's just how she asked, but Li's big head just didn't say where it came from. Fortunately, she went again today!It's just that she didn't expect that the things embroidered by a little brother were better than those of the two women here.

"But my family is not here. I only come to town every ten days or eight days." Luo Fei felt a little entangled. If he was doing embroidery work, would he have to run to this embroidery workshop every three days?

"You can take some small pieces and go home and have a look. To tell you the truth, the richest families in our town are the Zhou family and the Luo family. As for the seven ladies of the Zhou family, they only need to make as many clothes in a year. It’s a set, let alone other things. But sometimes people may feel that our embroidery is not good enough, so they all go to the county to do it. But if you can take over the embroidery work, it will be different. I think they must can be satisfied."

"Then I'll think about it." Luo Fei said.

Lu Ruyi never thought that she could talk to Luo Fei once, but she still hoped that Luo Fei would agree, after all, everyone wanted to earn money.She has the resources, but she doesn't have the skills.Like Boss Li, she has customers here, but she doesn't have the skills. If Luo Fei agrees to join, won't she worry about making money?

Luo Fei drank a bowl of sour plum soup, thanked Lu Ruyi, and bought some embroidery thread from her when he left.Lu Ruyi sincerely wanted to win him over, so she gave him the purchase price.

After leaving the door, Luo Fei asked Xi Yanqing: "Brother Qing, do you think I will take the job?"

Xi Yanqing said: "You decide on your own, and I won't interfere. But I think it's better not to pick up, or just pick up some that don't need to be rushed. The main thing is that there is no pressure to embroider purses. You can embroider if you want to embroider, and you can rest if you don't want to embroider." Take a break, but it’s different when you receive an order from someone else, I guess it’s time-limited. Especially clothes, shoes and hats, etc., have corresponding seasons, and I’m afraid it will be a certain pressure to do it.”

Luo Fei didn't think so much at the time, but now he heard Xi Yanqing's words, he really hesitated, even when he returned to Huaping Village, he had already made up his mind, just like Xi Yanqing said, not to take jobs , or only pick up part of the time without rushing.

But then something happened that made him change his mind.

Xi Yanqing was injured.
