Chapter 289: Chen's Vegetable Shed Was Set Up
Chen Taiping's vegetable shed is of a decent scale, which makes some people jealous.
Trying to find ways to trip up the Chen family.
The two sons of the Chen family, one is responsible for planting and the other is responsible for selling, and the profits are divided equally between the two.
Zhao Xiaoyue took Situ Ming to the Chen family.
Zhao Zhecai didn't want to be a light bulb and went back to his room long ago with snacks in his arms.
"Hey, the little sun is back. When did you come back?"
The old lady basking in the sun on the side of the road asked Zhao Xiaoyue with a grin.
"Grandma Qin, I'm basking in the sun! I've been back for a few days. Has Xiuxiu gone to high school?"
The old lady in a black headscarf was leaning on a cane, staring sharply at the stranger Situ Ming, and did not answer questions about Xiuxiu.
"Oh! What a handsome young man! As handsome as the 'prince' in the temple. Hehehe, little sun, is this... a friend?"
The "prince" the old woman was referring to was a deity enshrined in the local temple, a very handsome young deity.
"Ah? Oh! This is my college classmate. Oh, Aunt Qin, what kind of ambiguous look is that?"
"Haha, let's stop talking. Hey, where are you going?"
Zhao Xiaoyue pointed ahead and said, "Go to Dawan Village to find Grandma Wu."
When talking about this old lady Qin, she moved left and right but didn't say anything.
Later, she met Mr. Hu again, and several other groups of people. Zhao Xiaoyue said as usual that she was going to see Grandma Wu in Dawan Village, and no one said anything.
"Why, when you said you were going to look for Grandma Wu, they all stopped talking?"
Situ Ming was rarely curious.
Zhao Xiaoyue raised one corner of her mouth with a cool expression, "Because Grandma Wu from Dawan Village is very tough, she is known as 'Mu Guiying', and I tell you, she is also a well-known poison doctor. Anyone who messes with her will be in trouble."
"It seems like you have a very good relationship!"
It is not a question but an affirmative sentence.
Mr. Zhao nodded proudly, "Not bad, she is still half my teacher! Back then I had to pester her, beg her, beg her, and be shameless, even using the word death several times before she agreed to teach me. It took a lot of effort."
As Zhao Xiaoyue said this, she wrinkled her nose cutely.
While they were talking, they arrived at Chen Taiping's home, but heard some noise in front of the door.
Zhao Xiaoyue frowned. Who is looking for trouble on New Year's Day? She quickened her pace and walked forward.
"Uncle and aunt, my father is not here. He is really not here. He has something to do. You can wait until he comes back to wish him a happy new year."
Chen Da was not good at speaking, and he immediately angered the woman in the flowery jacket and the man in the sheepskin jacket.
"What are you talking about? My eldest brother is not here, so we can't go in? Don't you even greet your elders when they come to your house?"
The man's saliva was flying everywhere, and his finger was about to poke Chen Da's nostrils.
It looks like they've been arguing for a while.
"Chen Da!"
The sudden voice startled several people, "What's going on during the New Year?"
It's really New Year's Day and it's a very cold day. Chen Da's forehead is covered with beads of sweat. The second son is not here today, so he went to contact someone to buy something. Dad has been sick these days and has been lying on the kang. He really can't let these two people in and make his dad angry again.
But he underestimated the stubbornness of these two people.
"Little Sun! Why are you here?"
Chen Da called Zhao Xiaoyue in surprise, Situ Ming's eyebrows jumped. The foreigner called the little woman "Little Moon", and everyone here called her "Little Sun", all the names were quite unique.
Zhao Xiaoyue smiled and replied, "Greetings to Master Chen." He pointed at the two people standing in front of him, "Who are these?"
Before Chen Da could speak, the couple took the initiative and said, "Oh, isn't this the little girl from the Zhao family? What are you doing here at the Chen family? Does the little girl want to have a piece of the pie, too?"
What pie should we share?
She was just wondering, Chen Da wanted to welcome Zhao Xiaoyue into the house, but if that happened, the couple in front of him would have to go in as well, and he was in a dilemma.
The couple waited in a domineering manner for Chen Da to let Zhao Xiaoyue in, so that they would have a reason to go in.
Zhao Xiaoyue understood. This person was the brother of the old man of the Chen family. Her guess was almost right and she became jealous.
Soon, several more families came to "pay New Year's greetings", and it became quite lively. They were all surnamed Chen.
Chen Da was at a loss, not knowing what to do. Zhao Xiaoyue winked at Situ Ming, and quickly took Chen Da into the house, closed the door and unlocked it in one go.
Zhao Xiaoyue clapped her hands. The Chen family’s door was really amazing. It was made entirely of solid wood. Once the wooden bolt was put in place, it would be unbreakable unless you used an excavator.
Chen Dada breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Little Sun, my dad is in there."
He drooped his face and said, "I have been lying in bed for the past six months and have never gotten up. Alas~"
"Do they want to buy shares?"
Zhao Xiaoyue asked as she turned to the left.
Chen Da is a strong man. "At the beginning, we asked them to participate in the shares, but they were unwilling to work in the fields and only wanted to get bonuses."
That's so lazy!
"And their sons, my cousins, lost a vegetable shed near the well in gambling. My father got sick because of this."
"Er, who is it? Cough, cough, cough, cough."
The only sound you make is a cough and the barking of a puppy.
"It's me, Master Chen."
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyue finished speaking, she went up the stairs, lifted the curtain and went into the house.
"Oh, it's Little Sun, cough cough cough, why are you here?" The old man has a long beard, and he is very sick.
His eye sockets were sunken and his skin was wrinkled.
"How are you?" She put her hand on the old man's wrist. "You have stagnation of qi and liver fire. Is your heart feeling well?"
Old Master Chen stroked his beard and laughed, "Yes, Little Sun can diagnose pulses now. I was just angry."
"You mean your brother?"
Zhao Xiaoyue put Master Chen's hand into the quilt and looked carefully at the old man lying on the kang.
"Yes, they had originally joined in the construction of the greenhouse, but a few of our children took the biggest and best piece to gamble away."
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen pounded the kang in anger.
"Today, he saw that I had made the shed look very presentable, and he was so greedy that he wanted to grab the hot buns with his cold hands. How could he be so shameless!"
Chen Da quickly advised, "Dad, please don't be angry."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyue was speechless.
"Where's Brother Chen?"
Chen Da said: "There is a restaurant in the county town that used to order our dishes frequently. They were the biggest customer. I don't know what happened, but they suddenly stopped ordering this year. The second brother went to deal with this matter."
Zhao Xiaoyue knew that the largest restaurant in the county, Honglou, was a high-end restaurant that hosted various banquets, business banquets, and banquets.
There are also several larger supply and marketing cooperatives that order dishes from the Chen family, and this year they all placed orders at the same time.
Zhao Xiaoyue thought that they might have teamed up to negotiate the price, or maybe they were set up by someone.
In short, there are ups and downs.
“Who else is involved in the vegetable shed business?”
Chen Da said: "My grandfather's house."
At first, the Chen family wanted to get rich first and then help their clan and relatives get rich. Who knew that there would be such a person?
Fortunately, Chen Da’s in-laws were watching him, otherwise he wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
