Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman

Chapter 52 The village chief is suspicious

The next morning, it was the first day of school, Pei Xiu put on new spring clothes for all four children. Last year, she specially asked her sister-in-law to help them do it. She had been reluctant to wear them in the beginning of spring, so she kept it until today.

Several children were neatly dressed, carrying small satchels that Pei Xiu sewed for them. They happily went to the school together, Pei Xiu fell behind them and had to give it away on the first day.

There are not many people in the village who are willing to send their children to school, and even fewer in the neighboring villages. There are more than 20 people in the whole school, from all age groups. Xiao Zhouheng is the youngest, but he knows a lot of words. Many children in the school are eight or nine years old who have never gone to school.

Zhou Fuzi became more and more satisfied with Zhou Cheng and his wife, and was willing to send all four of their children, which was the first in the countryside. For many families, it would be very difficult for a family to go to school for one child. This couple has guts and vision.

His eldest grandson plays with those four children all day, and he has heard him say that Zhou Shan's handsome and white child is Zhou Cheng's benefactor, Tuo Gu.

This family is of good character. They are kind people. They don't treat the child differently, and they treat his eldest grandson equally. They greet him for breakfast every morning after practice. He said that he had talked to the boy many times, but he couldn't change it, and he often had breakfast at other people's houses.

His old face was about to lose his face, so he could only let his eldest grandson lend them the books he had read, and give others a copy of the pen and ink he eliminated. Occasionally he sent them bad papers, or papers with a little ink.

Pei Xiu put away the paper and kept the pen and ink, but she didn't use it. When they are educated in the school and need to practice calligraphy, they will be given to them.

On the first day of school, the children were very excited, and they were all playmates since childhood. They were very familiar with each other. They ran and danced around the desk, making a lot of noise. They calmed down when Master Zhou came. The name, if there is no big name, gave a paragraph of Confucius saying, let each choose one as the name.

The four brothers Zhou Yong were very proud that they had a big name early on. When Master Zhou asked the name, he answered loudly, and Pei Xiu laughed. After staying for a while, the children turned around and left after seeing that they were adapting well.

She still has a lot to do. Zhou Cheng was busy helping her open up wasteland, and she also went to the mountains to dig for treasures.

As soon as she got home, Sister-in-law Zhou came in with a happy face, saying that Zhou Yu's wedding date had been set, and she would come over three days later to make an appointment and welcome her on the second day of May. Sister Zhou Le's mouth couldn't close, and her most beloved little daughter finally got a good marriage.

Since taking Geng and fitting the horoscope, there has been no news from the man in the past few months. She thought that the marriage would not be completed, and she was worried that she would not eat well or sleep well. Some time ago, she finally got a reply, and her heart fell.

Everyone has their own aspirations, Pei Xiu smiled and congratulated Sister Zhou, and asked her to help her if she had anything.

Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile: ''There are two daughters-in-law at home, and the old lady does not need the help of the third siblings. The third siblings will just come over to watch the fun. ''

'' That dares to be good, and I can also feel happy. '' Pei Xiu complimented.

Sister-in-law Zhou rolled her eyes. "The bamboo shoots that the third younger brother and sister sent last night were called bamboo shoots. That's what your eldest brother calls them. It tastes really good. It's fresh and sweet, and it doesn't have the bitter taste of ordinary wild vegetables. This morning I asked the father and son, as well as the second daughter-in-law to dig. ''

'' This bamboo shoot was dug back when it was just unearthed. I also took my child around yesterday, and I deliberately dug a few. After peeling it off, I saw that it was tender inside, thinking that it should be edible. It's also a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. '' Pei Xiu knew that he was coming, and after finishing the business, he dropped by to inquire.

''When my second daughter-in-law came back to deal with the bamboo shoots, she said that there were not many people in the early morning, and all the young and old of the village went after. . ''

''The sister-in-law has to hurry back to deal with bamboo shoots, which will get old after a long time.

Quickly peel and slice them, blanch them, take them out and dry them into dried bamboo shoots, which can be eaten for a long time. ''

Since the mountains and plains are full of people, she doesn't need to go there. That's enough to dig so much yesterday. She can help Zhou Cheng open up the wasteland later, she still has a lot of things to plant.

The weather is good today, and I just took out the bamboo shoots that were blanched yesterday.

Dong Dong, I remembered the knock on the door again, Pei Xiu wondered why so many people came to the door today.

I opened the door and watched the village chief come to the door in amazement, ''The village chief is here, go in and sit down, I'll go and call Zhou Cheng. ''

''Not busy, wife Zhou Cheng, is this the bamboo shoot you dug up yesterday? '' The village chief came in and asked, looking at the rows of bamboo shoots drying in the yard.

It turned out to be looking for her, ''Yes, please have some tea. ''

''How long can this be stored in the sun, can it be pickled? ''

''A few months are still ok, depending on the dryness. As for whether it can be marinated or not, I have not tried it, but I have used it all for drying, and the village chief can try it. '' She knew it could be pickled, but she didn't pick it up, what should she say.

''Why did you suddenly go to the mountain to dig this bamboo shoot. '' The village chief is a little suspicious and puzzled. It's been ten years since Zhou Cheng's wife was married, and she has done a lot of outrageous things recently. I heard from the old lady at home that her temperament has also changed a bit. Could it really be a pass from the gate of hell, what? Do you understand a little bit?

'' The village chief also knows that there are many children in my family, and they are all boys. All of them can eat. The food at home is almost exhausted, and the wild vegetables are almost dug by everyone. I have to go up the mountain to see what edible. I pondered that the bamboo must be non-toxic. The newly grown bamboo shoots, just unearthed and pointed, may be soft. I pulled one out and tried it. I didn't expect it to taste really good, and I was also surprised. '' Pei Xiu also knew that her abnormality was best understood by the people next to her, but he didn't pursue it and wanted to wait for her to confess. Others will not be magnanimous not to pursue.

Whether the village chief believes it or not, she has a clear explanation anyway.

I don't know if he believed it or not, but I saw him nod and didn't ask about it any more.

Pei Xiu watched the village chief walking around in the yard, knowing that he noticed the wooden box in the corner, she didn't wait for him to ask, she walked to the wooden box and said to the village chief: "The village chief is I have seen these species. ''

''No, I was just about to ask, what are these, why haven't I seen them before, the old man has lived for so many years, and he is also a good farmer. Find out what these are. '' said the village chief thoughtfully.

'' These are the seeds that Zhou Cheng brought back. Each of them is as big as a baby's fist. I have never seen any seeds that big, so I will try to plant them and see what will grow. '' Pei Xiu shook her head, not because she didn't want to explain it, but because she had never planted it before, and she didn't dare to open her mouth to say what it was.
