Chapter 2 Red Eggs

The coachman was surprised: "Is there such a good thing?"

"Naturally, my young master is a first-class good man."

The coachman smiled and concentrated on driving the car without answering the questions, but he just changed his mind about the new Shuang'er.

The town is indeed quite far from Wang's Village, and it took about half an hour before Xiao Yun arrived at the entrance of the town.

"I'll take you here, okay?"

"Are you going to be busy?"

"Well, my mother asked me to come out and buy something for her today. I'm afraid that if I go late, it will be gone, so I will go first."

Xiaoyun nodded, and after paying his thanks, he went into the town by himself to buy what he wanted.

She first went to the market with a roadside stall to buy a piece of fish, and then went to the other side to buy a whole basket of eggs. She didn't know how many families there were in the village, so she couldn't go wrong if she bought more, and she could keep them at home , to make up for the son.

After buying these, she went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities, and when she couldn't hold them with her hands, she went back to the town to find out if there was any ox cart to go back.

It just so happened that the driver who brought Xiaoyun passed by and wanted to go back. When he saw Xiaoyun, he gave her a ride.Of course, in the end Xiaoyun still gave five copper coins.

After arriving at the door of the house, the coachman helped Xiaoyun move the things out of the car. The coachman had never seen so many eggs when he was so old. He was surprised: "How much does it cost to have so many eggs?"

"My son said that we are new here and we need to establish a good relationship with our neighbors, so he specially asked me to go to the town to buy eggs and deliver them door-to-door."

Xiaoyun said: "Money is not the most important thing, the young master said that the most important thing is the heart."

……

As soon as Cheng Qing woke up, before he was fully awake, he hurriedly called Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun..."

After shouting for a while, Cheng Qing remembered that Xiao Yun seemed to have gone shopping in the town. He lay awake on the bed for a while, then he put on his shoes, changed his clothes, and walked slowly into the yard.

Cheng Qing went to the kitchen, and it was much cleaner than before. It seemed that Xiaoyun had cleaned it before he left. He walked back to the yard, looked at the tree that took up a lot of land at home, and stretched silently. Waist, planning to put some tables and chairs in the lobby that have not been moved.

Hearing the noisy voice at the door, Cheng Qing poked his head out of the lobby curiously: "Has Xiaoyun come back?"

"Hey! Young Master, I'm the one who's back!" Xiao Yun said loudly, "Young Master, are you up?"

"Well, do you need help at the door?"

"No need, sir, sit down for a while." Xiaoyun speeded up, and the coachman saw that she was a little girl, so he suggested to help her move the eggs in.

Xiao Yun said pleasantly, "That's troublesome."

The coachman helped pick up the egg basket, and Xiaoyun quickly opened the door to let the coachman in. Xiaoyun took him to the kitchen, and after thanking him repeatedly, the coachman drove away with the ox cart.

Cheng Qing saw the coachman's back and asked doubtfully, "Who is that person?"

"It's from the village. I took his ox cart back and forth. The egg basket was too heavy, so I asked him to take it down."

"Oh, have you bought everything?"

"Yes, young master, do you want to take a look?"

"No need, go get busy, just let me know if there is anything you need me to do." Cheng Qing was a little tired after moving a few tables, so he could only sit on a chair and talk weakly.

Hearing Cheng Qing's struggling voice, Xiaoyun worried, "What's the matter, young master? Why are you so weak in speaking, are you tired?"

Cheng Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you can do your own thing, I'm fine."

"Is it all right?"

"Well, I'm a little tired after moving the table, just take a rest."

"Hey, then I'm going to boil eggs."

"it is good……"

Xiaoyun went to the kitchen and got busy, while Cheng Qing took a rest in the lobby, feeling that the rest was almost done, he stood up slowly and walked to the door of the kitchen, seeing Xiaoyun pouring a bunch of red things into the pot, he was puzzled Said: "Xiaoyun, what are you pouring into the pot?"

"Why did the young master come to the kitchen? There is heavy smoke here, you should sit in the yard."

"What did you pour in there?"

"When I just bought eggs, I asked the old man who sold eggs. The old man said that the customs here are different from those in other places. He said that the eggs here are red eggs, so I bought red yeast rice at a nearby store. Dye the eggs red." Xiaoyun explained.

"That's right." Cheng Qing nodded: "Okay, you can do it, call me when it's done, and let's deliver it together."

"Okay, young master, let's sit in the yard for a while."

Cheng Qing was driven to the yard again, he had nothing to do, he looked at the small tree in the yard that was an eyesore, and felt that this tree was really in the way of his eyes.

So he ran to the side storage room, rummaged through a pile of dust-covered agricultural tools, and finally found a shovel, rinsed it with water, and the shovel showed its original appearance.

"My lord, what are you busy with?" Xiaoyun heard the commotion in the yard, thought something happened at home, and hurried out to ask.

"I plan to clean up the trees in the yard. These trees are not only ugly but also have no growth at all. I will see if I can save them. It would be best if I can save them. It’s not a waste, I’ll go to the town to buy some saplings in two days, they will definitely look better than this one.”

Xiaoyun nodded understandingly, and asked, "Do you want my help?"

Cheng Qingzhi said proudly, "No, I'll do it myself, and you go and do your own thing."

"Hey." Although Xiaoyun was extremely worried, he still followed Cheng Qing's advice and went back to the kitchen to boil the eggs one by one.

However, Xiaoyun's worry was very reasonable. Cheng Qing had finished scraping the soil around the tree and wanted to uproot the tree.

Although the tree was not big, its roots were heavy, so it was no surprise that the tree fell to the ground, and Cheng Qing could only look at the tree, silently not knowing what to do.

Cheng Qing wanted to straighten the tree, but his strength was very different. He had to choose between his face and the tree. He had no choice but to call Xiaoyun from the kitchen to come out to help.

The two of them worked together to change the tree's position. Cheng Qing saw that the roots of the tree were thick and lacking, most of them had already withered, and knew that the tree could not be saved.

"Young master, what should we do now? Do we want this tree or not?"

"It's a waste of space to keep a dying tree." Cheng Qing said mercilessly, "Go and get the axe, and just chop this tree down and use it as firewood."

"Hey, good." Xiaoyun ran to the kitchen and took the ax from the firewood room to Cheng Qing. Fortunately, the branches and branches were not big. Cheng Qing swung the ax a few times, and the tree was almost torn apart.

The two of them worked together to move the cut wood to the kitchen. Cheng Qing went back to the yard and buried the soil. The whole yard was spacious, and Cheng Qing was very satisfied.

After all the eggs were boiled, Xiaoyun put the eggs in several baskets, and she and Cheng Qing, two of them, carried the small baskets to the village to deliver the eggs.

Cheng Qing tried his best to deliver it to every household, and gave two more when he met a child, so there was another saying in the village: This new Shuang'er is really rich...

There were fewer and fewer eggs in the basket, and more and more houses passed by. Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun's mouths were about to get angry when they greeted each other. Fortunately, there were still a few houses left before the end.

"Xiaoyun, how many other families are there?" Cheng Qing knelt down and rubbed his ankle, his foot would be useless if he walked any further.

"Originally there were three families, but one of them belonged to the head of the village. I just heard from Aunt Hu that the head of the house went to other places as guests a few days ago, and they will come back in a few days. Then there are only two families left. Persevere." Xiaoyun took the basket from Cheng Qing's hand and asked him to rest for a while.

Cheng Qing nodded: "Then you have to find out when the chief will come back, and you must not forget."

"Hey, don't worry, Xiaoyun remembers."

They have reached the innermost part of the village now, Cheng Qing saw that there were indeed only a few sparse houses left, stood up, and said to Xiaoyun: "Okay, let's go."

Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun walked straight all the way, and they came to the door of a family. The house of this family should be good. Not to mention the clean door, there are even two trees planted at the door. It seems that the family is well-to-do. people.

Just as Xiaoyun was about to knock on the door and go in, he heard screams from inside the room.

A woman, a bitter woman.

"I don't know what your nephew thinks, just like him, the family is almost out of control, and he still wants to buy land, his heart is really big enough!

I picked up a son, and I don’t know who gave birth to the dirty thing. He is still a treasure. I said you should say a few words, and you also persuade your nephew to marry a wife early, so that you can do it for your royal family. Pass on the family line! "

Cheng Qing didn't want to listen too much at first, but the sound was so loud that it was hard for him not to pay attention.And Xiaoyun, since he was a child, likes to listen to these corners. In the past, in the village, as long as there are people who don’t understand the family or a woman with a long tongue, there are many such things, as long as you listen to it for a day or two. , The whole village knows everything clearly!

The long-lost feeling came to my heart, Xiaoyun decided to listen to a corner today.And Cheng Qing, who wanted to tell her not to do such a thing, looked at Xiaoyun, who was showing a child's interest, and stood beside her helplessly, and some of them didn't listen to what was said inside.

Forget it, she was still young, and their own voices were too loud, both he and Xiaoyun just wanted to send them some eggs.

"You don't care about him, he likes what he likes! Didn't the matchmaker and the girl you found hurt Zhili?" A hoarse man's voice came out, with displeasure in his tone, and more helpless.

The woman began to scold people with a sharp voice: "Hey, I have thought so much about your Wang family, and I will be scolded by you when I come? Wang Zhili has a son, and the family is poor. It would be nice if there is a girl who wants him. Did you pick it?"

"Is that a normal girl's house you're looking for? Everyone's reputation is rotten. Isn't this a shame for our Wang family?"
