Although the Cui family has been a little unlucky in the past two years, the harvest this year is quite good. The millet is collected a lot. I sold some to pay off the Lin family's debt. Now the remaining ones are barely enough for the whole family to eat. The peanuts are well-bred, and almost all of them are plump. There are very few that kind of peanuts that have not grown. Cui Shifu is naturally happy with such a bumper harvest. He pulled the leaves and couldn't wait to send them to his daughter. Cui Wei picked a peanut and didn't care about the soil. He couldn't help but peel them and ate two of them.

Unlike the dried peanuts, the raw peanut pulp has more moisture, and it also brings a scent of freshly dug out of the soil. She thought that the seasoning she bought in the kitchen seemed to have stargazing fennel and other items, and immediately came up with an idea. She looked at the peanuts on the back, probably about ten pounds, so she looked up and asked: Dad, you send me so many peanuts, I won’t say anything.

What she said, just eat it. If I like it, I still have two pieces of soil that I haven't dug, and I'll send some to you when I'm not obedient. Saburo is not more obedient than you. He will cause trouble here. He used to rely on you all, but now he still owe so many copper coins, otherwise he can't stand it. What dares she say about some peanuts? Cui Shifu smiled and his beard on his face trembled. In the past two years, he has grown very fast, as if his back is a little bit old.

After he bent, he not only wanted to raise a family, but also a son like Cui Jingzhong. The Cui family's expenses are much more than those in the same village in Xiaowan Village, and there are not many males at home. Cui Shifu has been much more overwhelmed, so he naturally grows faster. Even when he saw Yang, he saw a lot of white hair on her face. But he didn't know what she thought she would feel when she knew that her son whom she thought was reliable was actually unreliable in the end.

Dad, you might as well sell this peanut to me, and don’t take out. Otherwise, you won’t farm next year, and I’ll find you a good job to keep your harvest much higher than farming, and it’s easier. Cui Wei thought about it, sighed, and reached out to fiddle with the peanuts in her back. She looked up at Cui Shifu and said.

Others didn't know that the acre of land she bought was her, but in fact it was in her hands. She was planning to wait for the busy farming period to ask someone to surround the land so that others would pick some of it. If they were just greedy, they would eat a few of the fruits when they were ripe. But they were afraid that some children would be naughty or adults deliberately wanted to pick more, so they decided to spend some money to surround the land and ask people to plant fruits. Then they would help take care of and serve them at any time, so they could watch them. She wanted to prevent others from stealing them in the morning. She wanted to ask Cui Shifu to make it for herself. She would just pay him more wages at that time, but she was unwilling to give him before, thinking that this money would be cheaper in the end. Now that she saw Cui Shifu, Cui Wei couldn't help it, so she raised her thoughts before.

Cui Shifu was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, obviously not taking her words to find a way out for him. He just thought she was considerate of herself and felt very relieved. He reached out and touched her head and smiled:

Besides, Weier, if you like to eat this peanut, your father will not sell it anymore. After receiving it, you will send it all to you. It is not worth it anyway, it is just a few hundred copper coins.

The Cui family has been living such a difficult time. How could Cui Wei take advantage of him? After thinking about it, she didn't say anything about buying peanuts. If she gave the money to Cui Shifu, he would definitely not want it. It would be better to give him money when he brought the peanuts over. Seeing that she nodded and didn't say more, Cui Shifu smiled with satisfaction. While watching it getting late, he refused Cui Wei to let him stay for dinner. He wanted to go back alone. Before leaving the door, he reminded Cui Wei: It's July 14th, this is a day when the gates of hell are not long before you can open. You two children won't be able to do it.

When they are going out, people are pouring water everywhere. If they go out and bump into each other, it will be bad. In Xiaowan Village, there is a saying that ghosts are rushing around in July and a half months. At this time, many people think that their dead relatives are still waiting for a bite of rice given to their homes, so they will put the rice with bowls soaked in cold water on the side of the road. Sometimes, Xiaowan Village can see these things. Cui Wei clearly felt that she was half-believing and half-doubled by Chui Shifu, but when she said this, she saw that it was dark outside and there was no moon around. She suddenly felt a little scared and nodded quickly.

After seeing Cui Shifu off, Cui Wei hurriedly closed the door. When she turned around, she saw Cui Jingping's face turned blue. She whispered to her. The two brothers and sisters didn't even dare to say the word "ghost" and nodded. Fortunately, they were not alone. It was okay if they were accompanied by someone. Cui Wei asked Cui Jingping to make some water again, took a wooden basin that usually washes vegetables and poured most of the peanuts in. While squatting down and rubbed it a few times, she washed it four or five times. The mud on the peanuts was lessened. Until she rubbed several times, Cui Wei was afraid that there would be insufficient water. It was dark now. If there was no water, it would be troublesome. She picked up the peanuts with a large dustpan.

The peanuts after washing looked extremely pleasing. Cui Wei first took a winnowing basket and hung them in the yard for the wind to blow. The black back and Cui Jingping were hungry until now, and they circled around her. She hurried into the kitchen to make food. Before she could eat it, she washed the pot and stir-fryed some braised ingredients. Then she added soy sauce, put a small spoonful of shrimp paste in, dipped chopsticks and tasted it, and then nodded with satisfaction, went out and took the washed peanuts into the pot. Seeing that the brine that had been prepared before just flooded the peanuts, she added some corn kernels to the stove, then washed her hands and took the food out.

As soon as he was eating, the peanuts in the pot emitted a scent of fragrance, which attracted Cui Jingping several times and couldn't help but want to put chopsticks to wait for peanuts. Cui Wei glared at him and held a bowl of rice: Third brother, I won't stop you when you want to eat it, but if you just want to eat peanuts and not eat it, that's not OK. If you don't eat it later, even peanuts are not allowed to eat it. This time, Cui Wei only cooked three or four kilograms. The two brothers and sisters ate it, but no one came to grab it. It's okay if he can eat enough, so he can't even eat it. I'm thinking about it now.

As soon as the two were talking, a knocking sound came from outside. At this time, I don’t know who would come. Cui Wei instinctively thought of Cui Shifu just told him seriously that he would not go out for a run around the Ghost Festival, and he immediately stood up.

Fortunately, there were not some monsters outside, but Nie Qiuran, who should have come back on the 15th. Cui Wei saw something in his arms, and was so white that she was very surprised: Brother Nie is back. As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned out to look and saw Nie Qiuran's carriage behind him. It didn't seem like she was going back to the Nie family first. Cui Wei was shocked: Brother Nie hadn't returned yet, so she came over directly.

Nie Qiuran was not polite to her now. Although Cui Wei seemed to be no different from before after the two met a snake last time, she never said she would not marry him. While Nie Qiuran came in, Cui Jingping quickly came out of the yard. While pulling his horse to the house for him, he heard Nie Qiuran say: I brought you something back. Last time, you didn’t say you wanted to find a cat and a mouse, I took someone to you this time.

After saying that, Nie Qiuran reached out and twisted the neck of the little thing in his arms, lifted it up and shook it. The milky white little thing suddenly became dissatisfied. He waved his claws and shouted: Meow, Meow

It was a snow-white Persian cat, Cui Jingping suddenly became excited. At this time, Persian cats were not as common as they were in modern times, but were really rare things. The cat looked like it was not long after it was born, probably not much bigger than a palm, but was in good spirits. It was so cute that it was usually kept as a pet. Cui Wei thought of the last time she found a mouse in her kitchen, which scared her half to death. Later, she told Nie Qiuran that she wanted to raise a cat and catch a mouse. He said that she would cover it with him. She originally thought that he would catch a cat for herself, but he actually caught such a milky white kitten.

Cui Wei suddenly twitched, and while taking the kitten and hugging it in her arms, the little thing slapped in her chest and mouth, and her eyes were half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep. With the dim light in the room, the eyes looked like two gems, blue and transparent, rubbing her head in her arms, looking like a spoiled look. Cui Wei, who looked so cruel that she could catch a mouse, looked speechless. She looked at Nie Qiuran with suspicion. This guy has always preferred white fluffy things. Could it be that he had always wanted to raise them, but unfortunately there was no excuse to raise them. This time he heard that he wanted a cat, so he caught them.

Although she didn't say her thoughts, everything was revealed on her face. Nie Qiuran smiled gently twice, and said to Cui Wei: Weier, you can tell this little thing on the ground, it's human nature. I finally asked that guy Qinhuai to find it for me. If you didn't want it, I wouldn't buy it. When I said the last sentence, my voice was a little light, and my eyes floated twice. The expression seemed to be guilty. Cui Wei's eyelids were twitching even more fiercely, but she put the cat on the ground. The little guy seemed to be a little afraid of being angry, and he stayed at her feet and refused to leave. While meowing coquettishly, he took his chin and rubbed her instep twice.
