selling chili peppers in chronology

=============================

The meal took over an hour to finish.

Chen Xiangwu was accompanied by his three sons, and his three grandsons served him with vegetables and soup. Even Du Xingwei, a guest, drank a lot with him.

How about calling it wine table culture?After this meal, Du Xingwei also became acquainted with the Chen family a lot, especially in the eyes of the Chen family, Du Xingwei is still a very knowledgeable person. He knows many things that they don't know, and everything can be said. They were longing and very fresh.

As soon as this person is able to talk a little bit, won't he ask about things he's interested in?When Du Xingwei opened his mouth again, one can imagine the amazement he received.

Chen Chen even heard Mrs. Li whispering to her daughters-in-law, "I didn't realize that Du Xingwei has such a good temper before. He responds to everything and doesn't bother him."

Wang Guizhi agreed: "I used to listen to the words of the village too much, and then thought that Du Xingwei was very fierce, but in fact he is not that kind of person."

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, "You listen to those people's nonsense, and there are not a few words that are true from your mouth all day long."

Feng Zhaodi said: "That's not true."

"..."

Chen Chen was very satisfied with what he heard.

The tableware on the table has all been picked up by the women to the kitchen and cleaned, and the garbage on the ground has been swept with a broom. The men are sitting together and talking, a few of them are dishonest, and you fight for it. If you want to grab candy, no one will give in.In the end, Mrs. Li got annoyed, and drove everyone out in one go, not taking any of them, and he became honest in a few moments.

Du Xingwei was talking to everyone, but Chen Chen jumped from side to side from time to time, and sat still.

When it was completely dark outside, it was time to go to bed in this winter. Du Xingwei had just finished talking about the TV that everyone was interested in, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he got up and said goodbye.

Everyone asked him to sit down again, but Du Xingwei didn't answer, and then one or two called him to come and play often in the future, and this time Du Xingwei agreed.

Chen Chen's cousins ​​and Chen Qian followed Du Xingwei to the gate of the courtyard. Chen Qian knew Du Xingwei well, and he spoke naturally, "Brother Xingwei, come over to play often in the future."

Du Xingwei responded.

Everyone was saying polite words, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Chen couldn't do anything, he could only tell: "Go back and rest early."

Du Xingwei drank a lot of wine tonight, and also drank a lot of chicken soup. He was not drunk, but he was almost drunk with chicken soup.Coupled with the impact of this "family banquet" tonight, seeing Chen Chen's face under the hazy moonlight at this moment, I really want to drag him over and take him home together.

Of course, this is not possible.

Du Xingwei resisted the impulse and hummed, then turned his eyes away and said to everyone: "You guys go back too."

"Be careful on the road."

"Will do."

……

The "guests" left, and the people in that family were almost gathered together. After sitting for a while, they all returned home one after another.

Chen Chen talked to everyone and went back.

When he was already dreaming about Duke Zhou, Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue entered the room from the outside. When they lay down on the bed, Chen Jianye tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Liu Dongxue was actually a little sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep after being disturbed by Chen Jianye. When Chen Jianye turned over again, Liu Dongxue couldn't bear it anymore, "Jianye, what are you thinking?"

Hearing this, Chen Jianye froze, "Are you still asleep?"

Liu Dongxue said helplessly: "You toss and turn, can I fall asleep?"

Chen Jianye said: "I won't move, you go to sleep."

Liu Dongxue asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Jianye was silent for a moment, and then told Master Hao about the installation of tap water that Chen Chen had mentioned today.

When I went to Xikou today, Liu Dongxue didn't follow to the river, so I really didn't know about it.

When she heard it now, she was also shocked.

"Isn't it very close to the water in the past..."

"It's close." Chen Jianye said in a muffled voice, "But Xiaochen wants to pull, so I've made an agreement with Master Hao."

Liu Dongxue didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Chen Jianye also said something else, "Master Hao said that if we install this tap water for our family, we have to pay for the machine ourselves, even if we buy the smallest one, it will cost more than 1000 and 2000 yuan, which is more expensive than repairing it." Houses are much more expensive.”

In the darkness, Liu Dongxue took a deep breath and exclaimed, "So expensive?"

Chen Jianye hummed lightly.

Maybe they were shocked, maybe they were helpless, the atmosphere fell into silence, and no one said anything for a long time. Those who didn't know about the quiet scene would think they were already asleep.

After a long time, Liu Dongxue said, "When I was killing chickens during the day, my mother said that those bad peppers can be opened a year ago, and it is best to sell some bad peppers before the year, so that the money used to repair the house can be used to make up for it. Everyone I can also have a happy new year.”

Xu had been lying on the bed for a long time, and he was a little sleepy, so Liu Dongxue's voice seemed a little gentle, "If we can really sell some bad peppers a year ago, then we can get at least 2000 yuan, and use this money to pretend What kind of tap water, even if you want to add some, you can’t add much, right?”

At the end, Liu Dongxue's tone was a little uncertain.

Chen Jianye had already fully understood the meaning of Liu Dongxue's words. For a moment, emotions such as surprise, joy, relief, and satisfaction filled his chest, and his voice was so swollen that he couldn't speak for a while.He turned over and looked at Liu Dongxue's face through the moonlight leaking in from the window, but because the moonlight was hazy and fragmented, he could barely see the outline.

"You really intend to do that?"

Chen Jianye's words were in his ears, Liu Dongxue turned his head, and the eyes of the two met through the dark night. At the place where Chen Jianye couldn't see clearly, Liu Dongxue smiled, "The tap water is for our family after all. The whole family needs to use it, and we should also pay for it.”

"I think so too." Chen Jianye lowered his voice, "But Xiaochen doesn't think so."

Liu Dongxue understood something, "Why?"

Chen Jianye said: "He said that we will pay for the repair and purchase of the house, and he will pay for the installation of running water."

Liu Dongxue was really not surprised by this situation, "It's his temperament. He usually goes home to buy things, and he refused to take our money in the end."

Chen Jianye carried over the heart-pounding and proud words he heard today, "He said he has more money than me."

Liu Dongxue couldn't help but laugh.

Under the quilt, Chen Jianye touched Liu Dongxue's hand and shook it, "He has a stubborn temper, and I can't fight it, so I can only let him go."

Liu Dongxue also turned sideways, "As long as you are filial."

In the darkness, there was the sound of fabric rubbing and rustling, and Chen Jianye's slightly hasty "yes" was almost inaudible.

***

In the next few days, there were no disturbances. Every day, I went up the mountain to cut firewood and fetch water from the small pond, and then helped Liu Dongxue collect the old cotton that had been dried for a few days, and then I started to do nothing.

Originally, when Chen Chen bought the coal stove, he thought that Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an needed a quiet environment for doing homework and reading, so he bought a coal stove and asked them to use it on the desk in the house. Doing homework on my stomach in the small hall.

In order not to disturb them, Chen Jianye and Liu Dongxue paid extra attention every day. If it wasn't for some time-consuming work, they would rather do it in the yard than bring it into the small hall.

Chen Chen couldn't stand it after watching it for a long time, so he drove Chen Bei and Zhou Pingan into the house and told them to do their homework inside.

But the two are unwilling.

"Brother, the coal stove outside is burning well, what are we going to do inside?" Chen Beifa asked.

Chen Chen said calmly: "Bring another coal stove and put two pieces of coal in it, put some more coal and it will start to burn, and it won't cool you."

Chen Bei didn't understand and asked: "There are ready-made ones that are burning. If they can be dried, why do I need to burn another one?"

Zhou Pingan also said: "Brother Chen, another coal stove is a waste of coal."

Chen Chen said bluntly: "You guys are going to do your homework here, Dad and Aunt Liu won't even enter the house, aren't they cold?"

Both Chen Bei and Zhou Ping'an were taken aback for a moment, and then they came to their senses, "I said why didn't they enter the house, so that's how it is."

Chen Bei ran outside and shouted, "Dad, Aunt Liu, you go inside, it's really cold outside."

Liu Dongxue said, "It's okay, it's not cold."

"Hands are red from the cold and still not cold." Chen Bei went straight out to help them bring half a basket of washed yams into the house, "You can't bother us with your work, what are you doing hiding outside?"

"Always talk." Liu Dongxue stood there holding a kitchen knife, a little at a loss, "I can't distract you."

Zhou Ping'an had already come out of the house with a broom to sweep the dander on the floor, "When I was at school, the classroom was full of noisy classmates every day, and we could do our homework, so the house is much quieter than the school."

Liu Dongxue and Chen Jianye looked at each other, then said hesitantly, "Then shall we enter the house?"

Zhou Pingan said, "Go in, it's really cold outside."

When he arrived in the small living room, Chen Bei was still puzzled, "Dad, when we didn't split up before, there were a lot of people in the house, and we still did our homework and read books at that time, why don't you remember now?" ?”

Zhou Ping'an also looked at his mother. When he was still at Zhou's house, his little nephew often cried when he was sick. He did his homework every day while his little nephew was crying.

Chen Jianye said in a muffled voice: "At that time, there was no way, but now we can avoid it."

Liu Dongxue nodded in agreement.

I didn't have the conditions before, but now I have the conditions, so of course I want to try not to disturb them as much as possible. After all, reading is the biggest thing.

Chen Bei: "..."

Zhou Pingan: "..."

Both of them were speechless.

Looking at this scene, Chen Chen wanted to laugh, "The two of them should be used to it, and we don't have to make things up to them in the future, they can just say it themselves if they can't stand it."

Chen Bei said, "Yes, if we find it noisy, we will speak up."

Liu Dongxue also laughed, "That's fine, just stay indoors."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then those who should do their homework continued to sit down and do their homework, those who should scratch the potato should scratch the potato, and those who should be wandering too much should... continue to sit.

The yams that Liu Dongxue picked were all small, and the scalps had aged in the cellar, so they had to be scraped off to taste.

Of course, this is also because the conditions at home are better now, and Chen Chen strongly resisted the unscratched old potatoes several times before, so he scraped them off.

If you were poor in the past, no matter how tender your skin is, you would still feel that it was too little to eat.

Liu Dongxue looked at the pile of potato skins on the ground and said, "It would be great if I could feed a pig. These potato skins can be boiled and fed to pigs."
