After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

After Xiaohua said someone was coming, Qiao Chen immediately ran to the door to welcome them, "Come in."

Aunt Jin walked in with Zhong's mother and Zhong Manzhu, "Sister Chen, this is Sister Li Xiu, and this is her daughter Manzhu." Li Xiu was Zhong's mother's name.

"Hello, please come in." Mrs. Qiao Chen smiled kindly at Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Manzhu.

Mother Zhong followed Aunt Jin into the Qiao family's home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a donkey cart and a stone mill in the left corner, and a wall full of firewood on the right. There was also a well in the open space on one side with a windlass installed on it, making it convenient to draw water.

There is also a relatively smooth area around the well, which looks like it is used for washing clothes or other things.

The yard was clean and tidy, but they clearly saw a place where chickens were raised on one side, but they didn't see any chickens.

And didn’t the Qiao family say they bought a cow? Why didn’t they see the cow in the yard?

Entering the hall, Qiao Chen asked the three to sit down. Qian immediately brought them tea and secretly looked at Zhong Manzhu. She looked good, but it was unknown what her personality was like.

The Zhong family is a good family in Danan Village. Who would have thought that they would fall in love with their third brother?

"Have some tea, have some tea." Mrs. Qiao Chen was also looking at Zhong Manzhu. Zhong Manzhu kept her head down and looked very shy.

Aunt Jin: "Where is your third child?"

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "He is doing the accounting in his room. He is the one who keeps track of all the money transactions in the house. I will go and call him out right away."

In fact, there was no settlement of accounts, it was just an excuse, pretending. Qiao San was very nervous in the room at this time, but what Qiao Chen said made Zhong's mother feel moved.

After Qian poured tea for everyone, she sat aside to entertain the guests. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "I'll go call him. Mother, you stay here with Aunt Zhong."

Soon, the nervous Qiao San came over. He walked in, glanced at Zhong Manzhu who was looking down, and then saluted everyone, "Auntie Jin, Auntie Zhong, hello, sisters of the Zhong family. I am Qiao Nian, the third son of the Qiao family."

Aunt Zhong took a look at Qiao San and saw that he was indeed a good-looking man. Zhong Manzhu also raised her head to take a look and then immediately lowered her head.

Aunt Jin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, come and sit down, kid. What have you done recently?"

Qiao San scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled, "Just help at home."

Qiao Chenshi: "I help with farm work at home, such as cutting grass and feeding pigs. We raise a few pigs and chickens behind the house, and the cows are also in the straw shed behind the house. I also do some accounting and teach the children to read and so on."

When Mrs. Zhong heard this, she asked, "Children at home?"

Qiao Chenshi: "Two nieces and one nephew."

Qian said, "My daughters learned to read from my third brother. My eldest sister-in-law said that if they can read, they will be able to read what others write when they grow up, and they won't be cheated when signing or pressing something."

Mother Zhong nodded, "That's right, my Manzhu can also read a little."

Qiao Chenshi: "Really? No wonder her temperament looks different."

Mother Zhong was very proud. "Yes, no one else would teach a girl to read, but I, the head of the family, also said that it is always better for a girl to know how to read. Hey, I remember you have an older daughter-in-law. Where is she? Is she not here today?"

In addition to visiting Qiao San today, Zhong's mother also wants to take a look at Zhen to see if she is really an unreasonable shrew as people outside say.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "The old lady is in the vegetable garden behind the house. I'll go call her."

Originally, seeing a girl was a good thing, but Zhen Yue felt that she had a bad reputation in the village and was afraid of scaring the girl. Thinking that seeing a girl had little to do with her, she did not go to the living room. But since she was invited, of course she had to go.

Zhen Yue walked from the back of the house to the front room, washed her hands, went back to her room, carried little Ah Chu to the living room, and as soon as she entered, she saw Zhong Manzhu, who looked a little shy. She walked over to greet her, "Auntie Jin, Auntie Zhong, hello, sister of the Zhong family."

Mother Zhong also smiled at her, as if she didn't look like a bad person.

Aunt Jin also greeted her, "This is little Ah Chu, right? Wow, you've grown so big. Can you speak now?"

Qiao Chen smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

Zhen Yue held little Ah Chu and taught him how to speak, "Come, call Grandma Jin."

Little Achu: "Come, come. Hehe." His words were not clear, but he was indeed calling grandma, and he kept grinning with saliva coming out.

Aunt Jin was also very fond of the child and said to Zhong's mother, "Look how well the child is taken care of, so white and plump." What she meant was that if Manzhu married into the family and had children in the future, they would not have a bad life either.

Mother Zhong looked at the clothes the child was wearing and thought they were indeed very good. "The child is adorable."

A few people gathered around the child and chatted about some family matters. Aunt Jin suddenly said, "These young people are not interested in what we are talking about. Let your third child take Manzhu to walk around the yard."

Of course, Mrs. Qiao Chen had no objection, and neither did Mrs. Zhong. They were just there to meet each other, so they still wanted to let the two of them have a chat.

Qiao San and Zhong Manzhu are both shy people, but Qiao San was able to keep calm and took Zhong Manzhu to the back of the house to see the vegetable garden. "These are all grown by my sister-in-law. The vegetables my sister-in-law grows are delicious. Do you want to try some?" Qiao San suddenly picked a cucumber. "Wait a moment, I'll wash it for you."

Zhong Manzhu: ...

Soon Qiao San handed the washed cucumber to Zhong Manzhu. Zhong Manzhu hesitated for a moment before taking it. After thinking for a while, she divided the cucumber into two halves and handed them to Qiao San, "You can eat some too."

"Oh, okay." Qiao San also took the other half of the cucumber, and the two of them started eating the cucumbers.

Zhong Manzhu thought Qiao San was just talking casually, but she was stunned after taking a small bite of the cucumber, because the cucumber was really delicious, with a sweet taste, not astringent, and very crisp.

"It's really delicious." said Zhong Manzhu.

Qiao San: "Really." Then Qiao San took her to the cowshed and to see the piglets and chickens. The two talked for a while in the back of the house and then returned to the front yard.

At this time, everyone in the front yard had already prepared lunch, but it was mainly Qiao Dashan and Qiao Chao who were doing it. Qiao Chen was accompanying Aunt Jin, Zhong's mother was talking in the living room, Zhen Yue had to take care of the children, and Qian was afraid that Qiao Er and the others could not do it, so she also came over to help.

Soon, Qiao Chen and the others smelled the fragrance of food and could eat soon.

Mother Zhong was very satisfied when she looked at the dishes on the table. There was fish and meat, and they were fragrant and delicious. Mother Zhong couldn't help but eat two bowls of rice. She felt embarrassed.

Aunt Jin also ate two bowls of rice. "Your food is still so delicious, especially these green vegetables. I don't know how you grow them. They are better than what I eat at home."

Mother Zhong nodded in her heart, the food at the Qiao family was indeed delicious.

Mrs. Qiao Chen: "I took great care of it, otherwise how could it sell for money?"

"Too."

Mother Zhong listened on the side and knew that the Qiao family mainly made money by selling vegetables. No wonder they were able to make money, the vegetables were indeed delicious.
