Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

Qiao Mo prepared all the candies needed for the shop, and the dim sum was not easy to store, so he only made all of them successfully, and only waited for a few days before the opening of the shop to rush to make them.Without making snacks and candies, he was free in the morning, and he began to weave bamboo decorations for the shop.

The materials are still prepared by Lin Zheng, and now Lin Zheng is very handy in doing these things.

Some people in the village have come to buy bamboo, planning to make something and sell it in the market.

Qiao Molin didn't care about the little bamboo money at first, and the reason why he took the money was because of a kind of human psychology.If it is said that bamboo does not require money, I am afraid that some people will chop it up without any scruples and use it without restraint.It's better to charge from the beginning, no matter how low the price is, it's something you spend money on, and people will cherish it even more.

The five people in the west courtyard of their own house are also making good progress. They have completed nearly a hundred small apple jars, all of which are the smallest one-jin bamboo jars.There are not many types of candies in the store, and the packaging has the same shape, and they are distinguished by decorative colors according to different tastes.The red-decorated jars contain fruit candies. Although hard candies and soft candies are sold separately at different prices, the jars are the same. Pink is plum candy, green is mint candy, and blue is toffee.

Nowadays, these small jars come in various colors, and the decoration is simple. Weave dyed bamboo strips on the upper part of the belly of the jar, and the whole jar comes alive.At that time, I will put my shop's trademark and product name on the jar.

Qiao Mo regards candy as a mid-to-high-end product, so the jar alone is not enough, and there must be an inner packaging.In the jar that was given to Fang Jinnian earlier, the mints inside were simply wrapped in greased paper, which was too rough.Qiao Mo planned to make glutinous rice paper, but it was not difficult and could resist moisture.Wrap the candies one by one with glutinous rice paper, stack them neatly in a jar covered with oiled paper, and then cover the small jar firmly, it is very appropriate.

In addition, the pastries sold in the shop must also be packaged.

Unlike candy, pastries are less expensive, and most of them are more friendly to the people, so they are differentiated on the packaging, otherwise the cost of people-friendly snacks is too high.It is still loaded with bamboo utensils. This time, instead of a small round can, it is a small square box with a handle, just like a picnic basket.Similarly, such a small square basket is divided into three capacities of one catty, three catties, and five catties.

In order to control the cost, in addition to the high-priced fine pastries, we use exquisitely crafted and beautifully decorated picnic baskets.Other friendly snacks use baskets without floral decorations, which are simple and quick to weave, and even if you don’t want the baskets, you can save a few pennies.

When he was thinking about what kind of decorations to weave, Lin Zheng brought something over, which turned out to be two connected waterwheels made of bamboo.The thing is very simple, that is, the bamboo tube and the bamboo slices are stuck together and combined together, but it looks simple and interesting, and it is very good for decoration.

"Is this okay?" Lin Zheng asked.

"Not bad, let's put it at home." Qiao Mo liked it very much.

"Well, then I'll make another one." Lin Zheng wanted to share some of it for him, so that he would do less and save himself from being tired.

Qiao Mo knew what he wanted, so he didn't refuse, and immediately began to prepare.He plans to weave two big plum vases and put them in the store, and then make some bamboo flowers and leaves, which is also very interesting.

The atmosphere was quiet, when suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the voice was anxious: "Lin Zheng! Is Lin Zheng at home?"

Lin Zheng frowned slightly, got up and walked out, and said, "It's Sun Hai."

Qiao Mo vaguely felt that something had happened, and he didn't have the heart to deal with the work at hand, so he stopped his hands and followed out.When I came out, I just heard Sun Hai talking, and I finally knew what happened.

It turned out that Father Lin was standing on the table sweeping the cobwebs on the beam, but accidentally fell down and broke his leg.Dr. Liu went to see it, and although it wasn't serious, Father Lin was getting old and usually tired, so he recovered very slowly.Dr. Liu said that it takes two to three months to fully recover after bed rest and careful recuperation.

Qiao Mo instinctively felt that things would not be so simple.

The first strange thing is that father Lin had an accident. How could he suddenly go to sweep the spider webs?What's more, in general, when sweeping cobwebs at home, a broom is tied to the top of a long bamboo pole or a long wooden stick, which can be swept by a person standing on the ground and raising his hand without climbing up.

The second strange thing is Sun Hai's attitude and behavior.Even if something happened to Mrs. Lin, Lin Fu or Mrs. Lin should be the ones to inform him. Even if Sun Hai is a neighbor, does he need to be in a hurry to say something about friendship?Perhaps saying this makes people think too coldly, but it is indeed the anxious worry in Sun Hai's eyes that is so intriguing.

Lin Zheng obviously noticed it too, so he asked Sun Hai: "What else is there? Did you come here by yourself, or did someone ask you to come?"

This question is indeed critical.

Sun Hai sighed: "I came by myself, but if I don't come, I think your successor will come soon. I was about to go out, but I saw a car parked in front of your father's door, Lin Fu and his wife You were moving things up, as if you were about to go on a long journey, and your grandma sent them out of the village. I was wondering, but when I saw Dr. Liu coming, I asked him if he was delivering medicine to Uncle Lin Shan, so I found out about your father fell."

"You mean, Lin Fu and Li Shuilian went on a long trip when daddy fell on the bed and couldn't move?" The more Qiao Mo thought about it, the more something went wrong, as if he had overlooked something.

"Yeah." Sun Hai went on to say, "I asked your step-mother where they were going, but your step-mother complained of having a headache and asked Dr. Liu to prescribe medicine for him. I don't see anything right, so I'll tell you first." One sound."

After Sun Hai left, Qiao Mo and Lin Zheng looked at each other, and they probably guessed what Old Mama Lin was planning.

It seems that in order to live in their home, Madam Lin and Li Shuilian, who had always been at odds, teamed up.It's all because he was too self-confident and careless, thinking that those two people were making trouble, but he was counted on one negligence.

"Go and have a look." Seeing Lin Zheng's gloomy expression, Qiao Mo knew why without thinking.

Thinking about the family's actions before and after, picking out the strange and unreasonable places, it is hard not to doubt whether Apa Lin's accident was artificially designed.If all three of them knew about it and designed it, it would be too chilling Father Lin's heart, if only one person did it secretly, then his thoughts would be too vicious.

After all, Father Lin is getting old, tired all the year round, and his health is not as good as before.It was a fluke that he only fell his leg this time, if he kowtowed or something, he might be killed.If it is in modern times, it can be sentenced to an attempted murder.

The two locked the door and hurried to Father Lin's house.

Stories in the village spread quickly. When the two of them arrived, Adie Lin's clan and neighbors had already come to visit, including some curious villagers.Everyone was asking where Lin Fu and Li Shuilian had gone. Dad was like this, how could they just pat their butts and leave?This is blatantly unfilial!

How can Mrs. Lin let people talk about her youngest son like that, and quickly explained: "It's all a coincidence, Afu's daughter-in-law has been unwell for the past two days. They were all a little dazed. I was also afraid that something would happen to him, so I asked Ah Fu to send his wife to the county to find a good doctor. Isn’t there me in the family? Ouch, who knows that old people are useless. As soon as I sent them away, I got sick on my hind legs."

Madam Lin wiped her tears as she said, "Now the old man is sick, and I can't do anything. Not to mention serving him, it's hard for me to eat by myself. What can I do?"

Someone said, "Isn't there still Lin Zheng?"

"That's right, Lin Zheng is living a good life, and he is filial on weekdays, so he won't ignore you." Some villagers also echoed.

Old Mama Lin was still crying: "We are like this, why bother to make trouble, we are separated, no one cares about it."

"What are you talking about? Are you his parents? Even if the family is separated, you should be filial." Although Lao Mama Lin is not welcome to see her on weekdays, the situation in this family is really pitiful now. People always sympathize with the weak, so it is inevitable Say something "fair".

Qiao Mo's heart sank.

It's not that he doesn't want to serve Mrs. Lin, if there is no such person as Mrs. Lin, even if Mrs. Lin is taken home to take care of him, he won't say anything.It's just that he knows that someone is deliberately plotting against his own house, how can he swallow this breath.

At this moment, when the villagers saw the two of them coming, they quickly talked about it, and some even said that Lin Zheng should take Father Lin back to serve him.

It was best for Lin Zheng not to speak at this time. Although Qiao Mo was the younger brother who entered the door, he was still a foreigner, so he didn't hesitate to say some things.On the way here, he told Lin Zheng not to say anything after he left, so as not to take advantage of Aunt Li, but no matter what, Aunt Lin and the others will definitely take care of it.

"Brother Qiao, you are a daughter-in-law. Your father-in-law is sick, so you have to take care of her at the bedside." The person who spoke was Grandma Jin, with her eyebrows raised and the corners of her mouth raised, which showed that she was gloating and trying to squeeze her out.

The last time Li Shuilian was beaten, Grandma Jin was defeated again, and she felt uncomfortable for many days.I want to settle the score again, there is no reason, and I am worried that Qiao Mo will have another trick, especially because of Grandma Chun's incident again, which makes Grandma Jin dare not act rashly if she endangers herself.

However, such a good opportunity at the moment, the fool just let it go.

Qiao Mo is not a person who suffers, especially today's matters are very sensitive, and it is hard to say what will happen if he loses.So when I heard Grandma Jin's words, I immediately retorted: "Grandma Jin is right, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family, and your Shuilian is my younger sister-in-law, so I still have the status to say some things. Just right Grandma Jin is here too, you should have heard about what happened before, but I would like to ask, Dad is like this, why does he, a daughter-in-law, go to the county to see a doctor at this time?"

"My Brother Lian is seeing a doctor, so people can tell when they will get sick? Brother Qiao, don't you want to take care of your father-in-law, you want to pull our Brother Lian to cover the job?" Grandma Jin curled her lips, her voice grew louder and louder : "Who doesn't know that your family is rich, guarding such a big new house, eating big fish and meat every day, and can't bear to be with your father-in-law? Tsk, no matter how bad our brother Lian is, he is always at home to take care of his father-in-law." What about my mother-in-law, it’s not like the two of you, they went out early to live their own lives.”

Everyone knows that this statement is not true, the family was separated many years ago, and I have not forgotten what is good about my family, but people are forgetful, or they sympathize with the weak.Now everyone knows that their family is doing well, and they are the wealthiest family in the village, which inevitably attracts envy.On weekdays, people may not do anything or say anything, but once they have the opportunity, they will favor the "weak" and attack with their mouths.

Qiao Mo's calm Aunt Ren Jin finished speaking, and then took the words lightly: "Since it is said that he is ill, we as elder brothers and sisters-in-law have no choice but to express it. Coincidentally, we also have someone we know in the county, please treat him well." It's not difficult for the doctor, let Brother Lian take a good look at it, maybe it's a 'happy event'."

"...Well, that's not necessary. Our family is not short of money, so we can find a doctor by ourselves. Don't think that you look down on people because you have two dollars!" Grandma Jin's complexion changed, but her mouth did not show weakness.

In this gap, Lin Zheng had already gone into the house to see Father Lin, and when he came out, his face was still not very good.

"How is it?" Qiao Mo ignored Grandma Jin and hurried forward to ask.

"Not very good." Lin Zheng glanced at Old Mama Lin coldly, then turned his gaze away.

Madam Lin only felt a chill all over her body, she didn't know why, she touched her forehead, thinking she was really sick.

A senior grandma in the clan looked at Lin Zheng and said, "Ah Zheng, you have also seen the situation of your father, and your step-mother happened to be ill, and there is no one else in the family, so I can only let you Take care of him for a few days. Even though you have separated, after all, you are father and son, and you feel bad when your father falls down, doesn't it?"

Everyone in the village knew about this family, and Grandma also knew that Lin Zheng had suffered too much in the past, so she was afraid that he would not want to take care of her, so she said a few more words.

"It's right to take care of Dad." Lin Zheng didn't evade, and directly agreed.

"That's good." The grandma's heart was relieved, and the expression on her face became more and more kind: "Your step-grandmother is also sick and can't cook, your daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and it is not easy at home and outside. In the future You can deliver meals here, and help with cooking in the house, Lin Fu and Lin Fu will be back in a few days, and they can help."

The corner of Lin Laomo's mouth twitched, and she held back her silence.

Qiao Mo had no objection to supporting and taking care of Mrs. Lin, so he focused more on Mrs. Lin, and every expression of the other party did not escape his eyes.Grandma's opinion on how to deal with it was quite standard, and Madam Lin had nothing to take advantage of, and she didn't even object.The more so, the more vigilant Qiao Mo became.

The villagers who came here thought that there would be some fun to watch, but they didn't expect that the ordinary things would be over, so they dispersed one after another.

Grandma Jin has been standing at the door of the room watching, but she didn't make a sound after hearing this. She just supported the silver hairpins on her head and left with a smile.

Qiao Mo and Lin Zheng didn't stay any longer, anyway, they got tired of looking at each other with Madam Lin, so they went home immediately.
