This side of Xipo Village.

Not long after Luo Yong and the others left, Xu Erlang hired some helpers according to Luo Yong's previous explanation, and went to the slope to pick Eucommia leaves.

I don’t know if it’s because the temperature here is relatively low or what’s the matter. The eucommia saplings planted last spring are still very small. It is estimated that they will really enter the peak growth season in the next two or three years. It is not cost-effective to directly harvest the seedlings to extract Eucommia gum.

So this time they are still collecting Eucommia leaves, and not all the leaves are picked for him. In summer, only a part of the old leaves are picked, and dozens of leaves are picked from each tree. leaf.

In summer, the temperature is high, the fermentation time is short, and the production of eucommia gum is relatively fast. After this batch of eucommia gum was extracted, part of it was given to Wang Jinhuai, because he still did not find other sources of eucommia gum this year, and the other part was given to Ma His firm helped to take them to Chang'an City.

All these eucommia gums have been made into round films. After Aunt Luo receives the goods, she only needs to find a local ceramic workshop in Chang'an City to customize a batch of canned bottles. The city buys seasonal fruits to make cans, and then sells these cans in the season when there is no fruit. Because there is almost no transportation cost, the profit must be relatively high.

When the autumn wind picked up this year, the large field of peppers planted in front of the Luo family's yard was ready to be harvested.

"Sister, look at the peppers I picked." This morning, Si Niang was sitting in the yard chopping peppers, and Qiniang came in from outside with a small basket, offering the half basket of peppers that she had picked. Pass it to Si Niang.

"Let's put it there." Si Niang was chopping peppers at this moment, sniffing her nose from the spicy smell wafting in the air.

"Do you want to wash?" Qiniang squatted beside her and asked her.

"You know how to wash?" Si Niang looked up at her.

"En." The little girl nodded seriously.

"Then be careful, don't wipe your face with the hand that touched the chili pepper." Siniang said.

Qiniang responded, then squatted beside her and carefully picked the stalks of the peppers. After picking them, she carried the basket to wash them under the sheepskin pipe. After washing, she poured them out on a basket to dry. The peppers must be dry. It can be chopped to make sauce, and no raw water can enter the sauce jar.

After a while, Liulang also came in with a small basket of peppers, poured them into a basket, and went out again.

Although this boy was born a few minutes earlier than Qiniang, and he is a man, now he is long and long, and he is even thinner and tender than Qiniang's little lady. It is no problem to let him eat some spicy tofu, let him pick it It is absolutely impossible to chop chili peppers at the tip of the chili pepper. Once his hands are stained with chili juice, it will be hot and painful. He still wears gloves when picking chili peppers these two days. They are the cashmere gloves that Erniang woven for him in the past. It's a bit hot when it gets up, but it's safe.

"Sister, brother, when will they come back?" On the other side, Qiniang squatted next to the big wooden basin to watch her elder sister chop chili peppers. She was not afraid of spicy food, so she wiped her face with hands dipped in chili juice last time, At that time, it was so hot that I screamed, but I didn't feel so scared after that.

"How would I know?" Luo Siniang snorted.

"..." Qiniang's girl pursed her lips, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Luo Siniang glanced at her, thinking that I'm still wronged, if it wasn't for the two of you, Brother might be willing to take her out, and she doesn't want to go to school like Goro.

But thinking about how the aunt and the second mother took care of themselves in the past, she felt that there was nothing to complain about this kind of thing. When she grew up, brother would ask her to go out, and then she would also be with the aunt and the second mother. In that case, go out and do something big.

"What do you want for lunch?" Si Niang asked her.

"Pancakes." Qiniang replied without thinking, as if she had thought about it early in the morning.

Although there is no glutinous rice made by my elder brother, they now have chili sauce, bean paste and soy sauce are all spicy, and the pancakes with chili sauce are delicious.

"Okay, let's eat pancakes at noon." Siniang agreed.

"Hee hee..." The little girl Qiniang became happy again.

When it was almost time, Si Niang put down the chili peppers, went to the room next to the courtyard gate that was originally used as a grocery store, and began to mix the batter to make pancakes.

But before she could mix the batter, there was a commotion outside.

The children of the Luo family put down the batter and ran outside to have a look, but they couldn't see what was going on, so they knew that the noisy sound came from the village.

"What's going on in the village?" Si Niang asked Zheng who was chopping firewood down the slope.

"A couple came here just now. They said they came to find Feng Gou'er and asked me for directions. At this time, their family must be in trouble." Mrs. Zheng put down the ax and picked up the few pieces of firewood he had just split. Throw it against the wall and say.

She has been working in Luo's family for a long time now, because she eats well every day, and she doesn't worry all the time like before, and her body seems to be much stronger.

"But Feng Gou'er's mother is back?" Si Niang guessed.

"It should be the same." Mrs. Zheng sighed, and continued to chop wood with her axe. I heard that Feng Gou'er's mother remarried a long time ago. A helper, things like this, even if you have the heart, you can't get in your mouth.

Si Niang frowned, although she didn't know what Feng Gou'er's mother was doing when she came back, seeing the quarrel now, it doesn't seem like a good thing.

"You two stay at home, I'll take a look." Si Niang said to Liu Lang and Qin Niang.

"Sister, I'm going too." Qiniang said immediately.

"..." Liu Lang didn't speak, but the expression on that little face clearly stated that he wanted to go too.

Si Niang had no choice but to take the two of them along. Seeing them going out, the five pairs of donkeys followed them without even thinking about it. Mai Qingdou Lier also wanted to follow, but was drunk voice, obediently went back to squatting at the gate of the courtyard.

Now the head of the family is Luo Siniang, they dare not ignore her words, otherwise they will have no food.

When the three brothers and sisters arrived near Feng Gou'er's house, they heard Grandma Feng howling loudly, as well as accusations from the villagers one after another.

"I left at the beginning, but now I'm back to do something. The dog is doing well in our village. You can just go about your life with peace of mind." When Si Niang and the others squeezed into the crowd, they just heard a voice from a village The old man said so.

"My grandma is getting old and a bit crazy. I have been outside these few years, and I always think about my dog ​​in my heart. I am afraid that he will be hungry and cold. Now I have finally discussed it with my family. If you want to pick him up, why do the neighbors come to stop you?"

Feng Gou'er's mother was in her twenties, with a good appearance and a medium build, neither fat nor thin. She seemed to be able to work and manage the house, and she spoke in a very orderly manner.

"Since this Feng Gou'er's surname is Feng, naturally he should be kept by Granny Feng's side. Why is there any reason for him to be taken away by you?" Among the villagers, someone said in a blunt tone.

"I just took him for a few years, and when he was older, I would naturally ask him to come back to this village to marry a wife and have children." The woman sniffed, her eyes were already flushed.

Seeing her like this, some villagers inevitably feel a little pity in their hearts. What is wrong with a mother who wants to take her child with her? As far as the situation of the Feng family is concerned, she can't be blamed for remarrying back then.

Besides, if Feng Gou'er has been called to follow the mad Granny Feng, it will be fine if something goes wrong one day. Now that his mother has come to pick him up, why not...

"Then if your life is going to be unsatisfactory in the future, do you still want to lose Feng Gou'er?" Si Niang said aloud at this time.

The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, but it was as if she had a knife in her words, and she wished she could cut a bloody gash on the other party's body.

"Where did this come from? Which mother would..." The woman's complexion was extremely ugly at this time.

"Why don't you throw away another one next time, don't throw away Feng Gou'er again, just throw away the baby you will give birth to later." Si Niang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then said again.

"Where are these words... What are these words..." Tears were already streaming down the woman's face.

"Why do you speak so viciously, little lady?" Her husband also spoke at this time.

"Although Si Niang's words are not pleasant to listen to, it is not unreasonable. You should go, and don't come to our village again in the future." Although many villagers in Xipo Village felt that what Si Niang just said was true. It's a bit too heavy, but everyone still has to protect her after all.

"Isn't it good to ask the dog to follow us? Why do you want to do this?" the woman cried and begged.

"Let's go, let's go." Luo Siniang had already said that for the sake of it, how could everyone let Feng Gou'er and the couple leave.

Si Niang's words were not unreasonable, but Feng Gou'er stayed in the village and followed his crazy grandmother, wouldn't it be better than staying with this couple?

They also knew that this woman had abandoned Feng Gou'er in the past, but what could be done about it, Feng Gou'er only had such a mother in total, didn't she?Looking at their clothes and dressing up now, they seem to be living a good life. I am living a good life, so I remember that I want to take this son from the past and take it with me. This is understandable. He will cherish his children and ask Feng Gou'er to go with them. Even if they are not as good as his younger brothers and sisters, they should not be much worse.

It's just that Luo Siniang is talking about this now. If the villagers ask the couple to take Feng Gou'er away, they will stand on the opposite side of Luo Siniang. Riluo Saburo is back, which side do you think he will stand on?You should know this kind of thing if you think about it with your toes.

So even though the villagers are still on Luo Siniang's side on the surface at this time, some people actually have some complaints about her in their hearts. A little girl in her teens, why should she take the lead in matters in the village?

Speaking of this matter, it happened that Tian Cunzheng was not in the village today. If he was, things would definitely not be as they are now.

Tian Cunzheng had previously helped Hao Cishi to promote the waterwheel irrigation method. Recently, Chang'an City needed talents in this field. Hao Cishi asked someone to bring him a message and told him to go to Chang'an City. The villagers said that he was about to develop. I don't know what kind of official the court can give him after this time.

·

A few days later, under a thatched shed beside the main road between Lishi County and Dinghu County, a group of merchants and vendors were sitting under the thatched shed to rest and chat.

"..."

"So Luo Siniang really said that?"

"Tsk tsk, this little lady is really powerful, who will dare to marry her in the future."

"Lishi Luo Sanlang's biological sister, who dare not marry?"

"In fact, she was spoiled by her elder brother. How can she, a little lady, make up her mind about things in the village?"

"The most injustice is that Feng Gou'er, who finally waited until his own mother came to pick him up, but was interrupted by an irrelevant little girl with a few words."

"..."

In a carriage on the side of the road, Luo Yong sat in the carriage with a dark face.

He was taking a nap in the car, but he just happened to overhear such a conversation.

A few days ago, when Luo Yong was still building roads on Guannei Road, he met Zhao Chen and his party from Liangzhou City, and said that he would cooperate with him in the canned pear business this year.

Because the deal is relatively large, he'd better go back in person. It just so happened that Luo Yong wanted to go home and have a look. At this time, there was a ready-made carriage to ride in, so he came back with him, and he was happy at first. , but did not expect such a thing to happen at home when he was not at home.

Zhao Chen came back from the outside after draining the water, and seeing Luo Yong's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he asked him, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, let's hurry up." Luo Yong said in a deep voice.
