You are unlucky and I am tough

Chapter 69 We are all one family

When they came out of Luo's house, it was already dark. Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang thanked the two elders and asked Wei Nanxing to send the two old men back.

Wei Qinglang and Cheng Shuang sent Cheng Lizheng back. Cheng Lizheng couldn't walk fast, so the two of them accompanied him, one on each side, and walked slowly on the village road.

"Grandpa Village Head, I'm sorry to bother you again today." Wei Qinglang said apologetically.

"It's all about the village. It's not a big deal."

Cheng Lizheng sighed softly, "But what about the guarantee letter and exchange terms you prepared in advance?"

Both of them were shocked, thinking that old people really become cunning.

Cheng Shuang immediately put on a well-behaved smile and supported him, "Grandpa Lizheng, you don't know that Luo Cuihua was instigated by her parents and she thought she would marry Nanxing. A fifteen-year-old girl came to our house every day and tried to get close to Nanxing, scaring her so much that she didn't dare to stay at home.

We haven't dared to speak out about this kind of thing, and we've been troubled for a long time. After what happened today, I was shocked when Nanxing said it. Nanxing definitely doesn't want to marry Luo Cuihua with her character, but he's also afraid that his father will really settle the marriage with the Luo family one day, so we want to take advantage of this incident to stop the Luo family from thinking about it. "

After hearing what was going on, Cheng Lizheng nodded repeatedly, "You young people are really smart. You have good brains."

"We also want to thank the village head for coming to give us justice." Cheng Shuang looked obedient and asked, looking at the new crutch in his hand, "Does this crutch fit you well?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good. The bottom is better than my previous one. It doesn't slip."

Cheng Shuang secretly gave Wei Qinglang a look, as if to say, look how powerful I am, I can get away with it with just a few words.

Then continue to ask, "How is your health recently? Are you taking your medicine on time every day?"

"I'm eating it. My eldest brother's wife makes medicine for me every day according to your instructions. I feel that my body is not so easily tired compared to before."

"I'll take your pulse when we get home. Once your headache is healed, I'll treat your other ailments."

"As long as my headache is cured, I'm already half buried in the ground. I don't want to waste the money on medicine."

"No, I will definitely study medicine diligently. Once I have mastered my master's skills, you can live another forty years with me around."

"Oh, that would make him an old monster."

They chatted all the way and slowly walked to Cheng Lizheng's house. When Wangcai saw Cheng Shuang, he rushed over again, barking. After a lot of chaos, Wangcai was locked in a dog cage.

After Cheng Zhengyi finished training the dog, he turned to Cheng Shuang and said, "Cheng Shuang, what's going on? It's not chasing anyone but you, it's just barking at you. It never did that before."

Cheng Shuang curled the corners of her mouth. She also wanted to know why it didn't bully its original body, but only bullied her.

The whole yard of Cheng Lizheng's house was filled with the smell of braised meat. As soon as Cheng Shuang smelled it, she knew that Qi had mastered the recipe and was no worse than her.

Cheng Zhengyi brought Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang to the kitchen and said, "I bought 20 kilograms in total, 5 kilograms of pig intestines, and 15 kilograms of pig heads, pig ears, and pig trotters. I plan to take them to a restaurant in the county town to try tomorrow."

Wei Qinglang nodded as he saw how serious they were about it. "By the way, have you guys agreed on a price?"

Cheng Zhengyi said, "According to what Cheng Shuang said, the price is 70 wen per catty. If the restaurant thinks the price is too high, we can reduce it to 65 wen."

Wei Qinglang suggested, "Uncle Cheng, you can try Taibai Tower. I used to sell game there, and the owner was very nice and generous. They have a large flow of people, so the demand will be high. If the deal goes through, my suggestion is to only supply them for the short term."

"Taibai Tower."

Cheng Zhengyi knew this restaurant, which had been open for more than ten years. However, he had never been in it because it looked very expensive and was consumed by rich people.

I felt a little nervous at the thought of going to discuss business, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Cheng Shuang was looking at the chicken feet, duck feet and braised eggs soaked in brine on the other side.

Yang was smiling broadly beside them. "I only made these for the first time. I asked my sister-in-law to add some dogwood. It's a little spicy, but very delicious. Those naughty kids in our family each ate two and still want more. Would you like to try some, Qinglang?"

Cheng Shuang nodded, then washed her hands and took a duck foot to taste it. The taste was very authentic. Although the spiciness of dogwood was not as good as modern chili peppers, it was enough for people of this dynasty who had never eaten chili peppers.

"I'll go to the county market tomorrow and rent a stall." With Cheng Shuang's affirmation, Yang was full of confidence.

Cheng Shuang asked Yang about the price again. Chicken feet and duck feet were not in high demand like in the modern market where the prices would rise rapidly. A pound of chicken feet cost ten cents, and duck feet cost twelve cents.

There are about ten eggs in a pound. Yang set the price of chicken feet at two cents each, duck feet at three cents each, and braised eggs at two cents each.

She felt that the price was very reasonable. The county town had a permanent population of nearly 20,000, so the consumption level was acceptable. The day after tomorrow was May 1st, and she would go to the clinic for a consultation. She could also take a look at the market then.

The two of them also talked to Cheng Zhengyi about the details that should be paid attention to when discussing cooperation, and clearly told him not to sell his house.

Afterwards, Cheng Shuang took Cheng Lizheng's pulse again and confirmed that the headache had been cured and would definitely not recur, so she said goodbye and went home.

She didn't tell Cheng Lizheng that he was already 80% to 90% healed. Anyway, if Cheng Lizheng's headache didn't recur in ten days or half a month, he would know that he was really cured.

When they returned home, the family was waiting for them for dinner. Wei Qinglang walked in and showed Wei Nanxing the letter of guarantee signed by the Luo family.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will never forget your kindness."

Wei Nanxing was deeply moved when he saw the letter of guarantee in his hand. If Cheng Shuang hadn't given him a solution, he really didn't know what to do.

Cheng Shuang looked at his serious expression and smiled, "We are all family, no need to be so polite to my sister-in-law."

The family sat down to eat. Wei Qinglang mentioned that they would be going to the county school early tomorrow morning. He said to Cheng Chen and Cheng Xu, "After dinner, you two should review what you learned with me. The teacher may test you tomorrow."

The two little guys helped sow seeds and water the plants today and did a lot of work. They didn’t complain of being tired and nodded and said yes obediently.

After Wei Qinglang finished speaking, Cheng Shuang also spoke, "We have already planted two acres of land in Beishan today, and we can plant the rest ourselves, but the one and a half acres of land in front of our house has not been cultivated. It is all gravel and old weeds. If our family were to work on it, we don't know how long it would take.

My suggestion is to ask the villagers to help us open up the wasteland, so that we can grow vegetables ourselves."

"After reclaiming the wasteland, we should also fence off the vegetable fields." Wei Qinglang suggested.

Cheng Shuang nodded. "Yes, we need to fence it off. Let's ask the pioneers to work with us. Tomorrow, you take them and Zhao Xiuwen to the county town, and we will continue to plant watermelons in Beishan."

If Chen'er and the others are successfully admitted, they and I will take a ride from Uncle Cheng's family to the county town the day after tomorrow, and you won't have to run back and forth."

Wei Qinglang nodded, thinking this arrangement was fine, and said, "Then let's go find Xu Daqing to help us open up the wasteland, and have him find a few trustworthy people to come together tomorrow. Five or six people will be enough, and we should be able to finish it in two days."

Wei Nanxing said, "I'll go find Brother Daqing in a while. You can go about your business."

After dinner, Wei Nanxing went out to Xu's house. Wei Qinglang took his two younger brothers to study in the main room, Cheng Shuang and Wei Xinyi washed the dishes, and Cheng Pan watched the fires on the two stoves to boil water for the family's bath.

After the two younger brothers finished reviewing, Cheng Shuang washed their hair and cleaned them up before going to see the teacher.
