C5 Chapter V Elegant Style
Along the way, the man always protected himself by the side of his hand, he really took good care of Rong Xiu. Almost all the grass umbrellas were propped up on top of the woman's head and not a single spot of sun could be seen on them.
Su Cheng Xi carried his backpack and returned to his hometown. Although he didn't bring much with him, he still had to purchase some cloth money for daily use. The sour noodles in the town were famous.
Rong Xiu had not even been salivating since early in the morning. Cheng Xi had seen this all with his own eyes. With such a small girl by his side, everything seemed strange to him.
"Eat." As Su Cheng Xi listened to the rumbling sounds coming from her stomach, he dragged Rong Xiu to sit at the noodle stall.
"Waiter." "Two small bowls of sour noodles." Cheng Xi took out some copper coins from his bag. He didn't have much copper coins left, and Rong Xiu had seen all of it.
"Wait, just one big bowl of sour noodles is enough. Since my appetite is small, it will be a waste if I want two bowls. Would you feel wronged if you eat a bowl with me?" Rong Xiu waved her hand.
Now that they had less money, they had to save it a bit. Right now, they had to fill their stomachs with food. After returning home, they would gather some game to satisfy their hunger.
"I don't feel wronged." Su Cheng Xi's heart was moved. To have such a woman that completely cared for him was like this: "But I can't save on this. If I don't have the ability, I can still feed you."
Rong Xiu wanted to say something more, but Su Cheng Xi scolded the waiter to hurry up and prepare, so she could only give up.
However, the sour soup was served. It had a sour and salty taste and the milky white gloss of the soup had green onions floating on it. It was very appetizing.
"The taste is truly excellent. Hubby, quickly try it." Rong Xiu drank a mouthful of soup. It was extremely sour and pure, and her hot stomach felt comfortable just like the soup.
Su Cheng Xi looked at his wife, who was beside him swallowing, with a face full of happiness. He suddenly felt a bit ashamed and satisfied.
"Husband, do you trust me?" Rong Xiu's words were exceptionally firm, as if she was deciding on something big.
"Of course I do. You're my wife." Su Cheng Xi nodded without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Rong Xiu lowered her head, smiling intoxicatedly, "Since that's the case, then I'll say it this way. Our land doesn't have any big problems. It's not bad to plant some suitable crops, and the harvest is not bad at all."
"Such as?" Su Chengxi truly didn't have much experience with such things.
"Our field is about two acres of land. "Half an acre of land is planted with beautiful crabapple flowers and half an acre of land is planted with cotton." Rong Xiu's words didn't seem to be a joke.
Su Cheng Xi's face was full of surprise. It was obvious that the crops they were talking about were not those grown by ordinary people. In the end, he did not know how much they would harvest. He could not help but ask: "Then what is left of an acre?"
"The remaining half acre is planted with sorghum, while the remaining half acre is planted with fruits and vegetables that we eat everyday." Rong Xiu wiped the corner of her mouth, and said with a face full of pride: "In another half a year, it'll be the perfect time to winter. When the cotton is ripe, I will make you a thick coat of cotton. As for the crabapple blossoms. At that time, the yard would be filled with the fragrance of flowers. Isn't she handsome? "
"En..." "Elegant and elegant." Su Cheng Xi helplessly stroked his head.
"I'm just teasing you." "This crabapple flower looks pretty. We can sell it to rich families. Flowers can make money, fruits can also make money. No matter what, it will be much easier than farming." Rong Xiu held up her husband. She raised her head to look at the sky, but there was no cloud in the sky. She was actually a bit lustful towards the scenery here.
"As you wish." Su Cheng Xi smiled, his hand could not help but brush against the ends of the girl's hair, which was as soft as silk.
Rong Xiu lowered her head and chose a suitable piece of fabric from the clothing store. Su Cheng Xi looked around, but apart from the color, he didn't feel anything different. He simply went out and waited.
However, Rong Xiu's voice still entered his ears.
"20 copper coins is a bit too expensive, 15 gold coins at once. If it's possible, we'll buy it." Rong Xiu didn't want to spend a single cent more. She had seen all of the crushed silver in Su Chengxi's bag. Since the two of them were going to live a long time, they naturally spent less money than they would otherwise.
"15 copper coins, definitely not. This is not a profitable business." The shop owner was determined not to let go.
"We're done over there. This street is still very long. Let's go take another look." Rong Xiu pretended to leave. Just as she was about to step out of the door, she saw the shop owner extend his hand to stop her.
"Fine, we'll just treat it as selling this deal to you. In the future, you'll definitely have to pay a visit to our business." As he spoke, the shop owner was about to pick up the piece of cloth with his ears.
"Wait." Rong Xiu had sharp eyes. She pinched the flaw in the cloth and cut off two copper coins. This cloth was really a bargain.
As she carried the cloth back to the house, she considered how many pairs of shoes she would be able to make out of the cloth once the house was built.
"Sugar gourd, sour, sweet sugar gourd …" Noticing Su Cheng Xi standing outside the embroidery workshop, he must have come here to accompany his wife and aunt. He hurriedly went to greet him and said, "As soon as I see that you're a teacher, buy a skewer of candied fruits for your wife and child. Women and children all love to eat it …"
Rong Xiu didn't pay any attention to the commotion outside and chose a dark hemp cloth.
"Here …" A moment later, Su Cheng Xi came back with a bright red candied flakes.
"Thank you, hubby." Rong Xiu was a little dazed, she smiled warmly and took the candied fruits, putting them into a brown paper bag, "After dinner, we'll eat together."
Su Cheng Xi shook his head: "How can a man like me eat sweets like that?"
"Who said I can't …" Rong Xiu held onto Su Cheng Xi's arm the entire way. Even though they were running, she didn't feel tired.
Returning to the area, the couple didn't even have time to rest as they hurriedly set up their tent and took their things.
"You take a break, I'll cut this wooden pole properly." Cheng Xi lowered his head. He held the dagger in his hand and sharpened the tip of the branch.
"I can do it too." The blade that Rong Xiu had picked up was even more blunt, but she didn't want to be even more nimble than her husband.
"Just who are you?" Su Cheng Xi frowned as he stared meaningfully at the two wooden stakes that the two of them had split. In comparison, Rong Xiu's work was even rounder, and what was even more outrageous was that he had only finished one, and Rong Xiu had already finished the other three.
"I'm Rong Xiu, your wife." A trace of guilt flashed through Rong Xiu's eyes. She laughed heartily, but when she saw the embarrassed look on the man's face, she wanted to laugh.
Su Chengxi's eyes were filled with praise, but there was a hint of doubt mixed within. He asked: "How could you be so good? This isn't something a village woman should be able to do."
"What should the village woman know?" Rong Xiu stood up and dusted off the dust on her hands, her eyes playful as she said, "Husband, if you're in a hurry to ask about this, why don't you read through it slowly in the future? My secrets are waiting for you to uncover."
Her straight, sword-like eyebrows slowly creased, and her starry eyes were full of distress. "This woman, what is her background?"
This was completely unlike the abilities a girl should have.
"You …" Just as Su Cheng Xi was about to open his mouth, Rong Xiu pushed him back.
She saw her husband's doubts but found it difficult to explain. She could only let him borrow another family's hoe to later plant the seed.
Fortunately, the man didn't pursue the matter.
It was almost nightfall by the time the tent was set up. Rong Xiu lowered her head and was just about to rest when she saw two people walking over from the ground. Upon seeing their figures, she immediately knew who they were.
"What is this? To use good cloth to make such a damned thing, it's truly a sin. " Old Lady Wang ate her dinner early and then slipped away after the meal as if she was just going to watch a good show.
She rubbed her belly and walked around the tent, sneaking into the tent.
"There's still candied fruits, Mother …" "Take a look." Guifen ripped open the brown paper bag.
Rong Xiu stretched out her hand, and for the first time, she started to fight over things in front of her husband. This was the first time Su Cheng Xi had bought things for her. He definitely could not let this girl steal them away!
"Why are you so fierce? The child wants to eat it, but you're already such a big person. You're just as scheming as Guifen." Old Lady Wang stretched out her hand and desperately pinched Rong Xiu.
With a swish, her snow-white skin was stained with blood. Rong Xiu bit her lower lip and refused to loosen her grip.
Gui Fen stared eagerly at the candied fruits. She lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, trying to add more candied fruits to the tip of the candied fruits. is that it's disgusting to show you,
Rong Xiu stomped her foot in anger, how could there be parents like this in this world. Fierce Retribution came back, "Child, your daughter is already old. She's almost out of the pavilion, and no one has come to visit her yet. This is truly retribution."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My son is not here. Even if I tear your mouth apart, no one will see." Old Lady Wang's expression was fierce. He rolled up his arms and forced his way towards Rong Xiu.
"What are you doing here?" Su Cheng Xi borrowed a shovel from his neighbor. When he saw his own mother following him over, he immediately became frightened. His face was tense, but he didn't have a good temper.
Rong Xiu didn't say a word. When she saw the candied fruits in Gui Fen's hands, she knew what was going on.
"Mother came to see you. Why are you talking to me like this? I've only seen your new wife for a few days, and yet she's already married and forgot your mother." Old Lady Wang was speaking sarcastically.
