Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao packed up the freshest ones and prepared to deliver them to shopkeeper Chen. But before she arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw the waiter driving an ox cart to the entrance of the village.
At first I thought I had seen it wrong, so I rubbed my eyes and was sure it was the waiter in the shop.
Many people in the village watched.
The waiter got off the oxcart and said, "Thank you, Miss. The shopkeeper asked me to get the mushrooms."
While talking, he took off the backpack from Xie Jiaojiao's back.
Xie Jiaojiao was a little surprised: "I can deliver it to the town for you every day. You don't have to make this trip." It would be such a hassle to carry such a basket of mushrooms on a trip.
The waiter smiled and said: "It's okay! The shopkeeper said that if there are many of these fungi in Miss Xie's house, I can also pull some more. We also have restaurants in the county, so we can eat them."
In fact, this was Jiang Weinan's order later.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately beamed with joy: "Really? Then I still have some at home, and I will carry them all for you."
"I'm with Miss Xie."
Xie Jiaojiao got on the other side of the bullock cart and said, "It's really hard for you to make this trip this morning."
But the waiter in the shop smiled happily: "Thank you, Miss, please don't say that. Speaking of which, I want to thank you even more. You don't know that for this trip, the shopkeeper gives me an extra ten cents every day!" The month is three denarii."
After he said this, Xie Jiaojiao said nothing more.
Sun Ruhua was surprised when she saw Xie Jiaojiao coming back.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Mom, shopkeeper Chen has arranged for someone to come to the house to pick up the fungi. You should hurry up and sort them out and choose good ones."
"Ah? Oh. Okay!" Sun Ruhua wiped the handle on her apron and left immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao took two steamed buns from the pot and gave them to the waiter outside: "You haven't had breakfast yet, so let's make a cushion first."
The waiter hurriedly said he didn't want it, but Xie Jiaojiao forced it on him: "Take it, eat it, I'll go help my mother."
After the waiter finished eating, the mushrooms were almost ready.
After weighing, the sun emerged from the sky.
The waiter said: "Thank you, Miss. The shopkeeper said that you can go to town every ten days and he will pay for you. You can sort everything out tomorrow and I will pick it up early in the morning so that it can be delivered to the county town early."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
The waiter hurried away with the bullock cart.
Seeing that so many fungi were taken away from Xie Jiaojiao's house, the villagers became even more enthusiastic when they went up the mountain.
There were some that were not in good condition, so Xie Jiaojiao asked Sun Ruhua to expose them and then keep them for selling as dry goods.
Throughout the day, Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua were busy collecting, sorting, and drying the mushrooms at home.
After a month like this, batch after batch of wild mushrooms in the yard were dried in the sun. Xie Jiaojiao packed the dried mushrooms in sacks and put them all in the cellar in the backyard to avoid getting damp.
In the middle, Xie Zhili also took the fungi to sell, but Xie Jiaojiao confiscated them directly. Xie Zhili was not happy: "Why do you accept all theirs and not mine!"
Xie Jiaojiao sneered: "Why don't I accept it from you? You don't have a clue in your own mind?"
The people in line behind Xie Zhili were urging him.
Xie Zhili pointed at Xie Jiaojiao: "Okay! Xie Jiaojiao, you have the guts!"
Seeing him leaving, Xie Jiaojiao said to the people in line behind her: "If any of you want to help Xie Zhili sell mushrooms, and I find out, I will make you spit out all your money!"
When talking about this, Xie Jiaojiao stared at the He family and the He family's wife immediately lowered her head.
Everyone knew what happened between the two families, and they all said to reassure her that it wouldn't happen.
The whole summer passed like this. This summer, the people in the village followed Xie Jiaojiao and made a lot of money. The most important thing is that there is no cost to earn this money, and the things on the mountain are free.
Everyone was very grateful to Xie Jiaojiao, especially the poor people in the village, who were originally from young families, and they were even more grateful to Xie Jiaojiao!
Even if Xie Jiaojiao has eaten or walked on the field to eat, someone will greet her. It seems that her relationship with the village has become much better because of this.
As soon as summer is over, autumn begins. As soon as autumn comes, every household in the village is busy with the autumn harvest. Looking around, the fields are full of gold, and ripe rice is hanging on the seedlings. Every household With smiles on their faces, they exclaimed that it was another good harvest year.
Xie Jiaojiao hired someone to help harvest the rice. As soon as the rice was put into the warehouse, Sun Ruhua's heart dropped. She touched the full grains of rice in the warehouse and said with a smile: "We have harvested more rice this year than in previous years! "
"Mom, even if the harvest is not good, I can still support you and Zhiyi!"
"That's different!" Sun Ruhua covered the granary.
Xie Jiaojiao was calculating the account book under the eaves. This account book was made by herself, and it recorded the income and expenditure of the family in her own way.
"Mom, we can't put off repairing the house any longer."
When Sun Ruhua heard what she said, she immediately turned around and said, "Mom also wants to tell you about this matter. Since you took the initiative, I will go and take care of it tomorrow morning."
"And...Mom, if possible, you can ask the village chief to make our homestead more spacious. Money is not an issue. Once the house is repaired, I will have other uses."
"Okay, mom knows, I'll make dinner first."
Early the next morning, Sun Ruhua took her things and went to the village chief's house. Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi were at home, selecting rabbits raised by Xie Zhiyi in the backyard. There were several rabbits this year. There were more and more rabbits, and it was troublesome to raise them. Xie Zhiyi asked Xie Jiaojiao to get some for him to sell.
They were still busy in the backyard, and the front yard suddenly became lively with gongs and drums.
Xie Jiaojiao put down the rabbit and went to the front yard.
The leader, Matchmaker Zhang, looked at Xie Jiaojiao and immediately laughed.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her, but couldn't laugh.
"Oh, thank you, Miss. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and she looks even more beautiful!"
There were many villagers outside the yard watching the fun.
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao was silent, Matchmaker Zhang looked around and asked, "Miss Xie, where is your grandson?"
"My mother has gone out to do some errands. If anything happens to the matchmaker, please come back another day."
Xie Jiaojiao said that she was going to drive the person outside.
Matchmaker Zhang couldn't be driven away by her. Instead, she held her hand and said, "If your mother is not here, it's okay to tell Miss Xie. I have to show it to you anyway."
After saying that, Matchmaker Zhang handed Xie Jiaojiao a red note: "Miss Xie, take a look, this is a good day scheduled by the Jiang family for next year. Miss Xie can choose one of the days above, and I can go back to tell the good news to the Jiang family." .”
