He and Gu Lin still didn't finish the noodles that Mu Tiande ordered.
The old man thought it was a waste, so he took it to the neighbor's house next door.
The neighbors were forced to get up late at night and have a midnight snack, which tasted so good.
After drinking and eating, Gu Lin went to boil water to take a bath.
Of course, if it were him in the past, he would lie on the bed and fall asleep after being full and drunk. But Muning is a clean person, and it is impossible to go to bed without taking a shower.
It was past nine o'clock and the sky was full of stars. Muning was lying on the bed not feeling sleepy at all.
The mosquito net was so tight that the mosquitoes couldn't get in and it was also extremely hot.
Gu Lin was shirtless and fanned her with a big cattail leaf fan.
"When we get back, we will go find the shop first. Before setting up the stall, we will treat Brother Wang to dinner. Thank you for his willingness to lend us his car."
Gu Lin said 'hmm' in agreement.
"What do you think we let the people in the village collect crayfish for us?"
Muning is also thinking about the purchase of crayfish tonight.
She and Gu Lin couldn't go to Shanhe Village to collect crayfish every day. It would be too time-consuming.
It's better to just hand it over to the most respected people in the village to receive the goods, and just deliver the goods to them once a day.
But how much to charge per pound should be discussed between two people.
The crayfish served tonight made Gu Lin have endless aftertaste at this moment. He knew that there were actually many rich people in the county, and they were willing to spend more on delicious food.
Crayfish is a seasonal food, and it is really satisfying only in summer.
Unless...unless there are farmers willing to breed.
Otherwise, this thing is really more expensive than meat.
Gu Lin fanned Muning and thought for a while before saying, "Go back tomorrow and invite Brother Wang and the others to cook at home. Let's cook the crayfish, and then ask Brother Wang for his opinion on how to price it."
"There are still quite a few left in the yard. I will catch some more tomorrow morning and take them back together. As long as I feed them snail meat, they will be able to survive for two days."
"Try to sell some at night. If business is good, we will go back to the village and ask the village chief to help collect. Then I will ask Xiaohua to come over and collect the goods. What do you think?"
During dinner in the evening, Gu Lin thought everything through.
He also has some money in the bank. Whether he rents a shop or buys it, it shouldn't be a problem.
As long as the business continues, he can take good care of Muning... and the child in her belly.
Thinking of this, Gu Lin put his big hand on her belly, "Son, please move?"
The little foot kicked Gu Lin's hand, as if complaining that Gu Lin disturbed his sleep.
"Little guy, he has quite a temper."
Muning exuded the brilliance of motherhood and touched her swollen belly. "At this point, my son has gone to bed early. Who asked you to disturb him?"
Gu Lin didn't take away his big hand on his stomach, "When we return to the county tomorrow, let's go to the hospital for a checkup first, okay?"
"good."
She also wanted to know whether there was one or two in her belly?
If it was two children, why wasn't it written in the original book? Where did the other child go?
Muning slept until the next day with a lot of questions in his mind.
Early in the morning, Mu Tiande began to collect peppers from every household.
His grandson-in-law said that the peppers from Shanhe Village are as good as any on the market.
Although their food stall is not big, it still consumes a lot of chili peppers every day. Twenty pounds of dried chili peppers are used to make chili oil, which is used up in less than a month.
So he gave this task to the old man, and he could charge it at a price of two yuan and five cents.
People in Shanhe Village are poor. You can sell peppers for money, but you have to walk a long mountain road to go to the market, and you may not be able to sell them. Now Mu Tiande collects them directly in the village, and the price is still higher than in the market. Five cents.
The people in the village looked surprised, "Uncle Tiande, are you serious? Do you really charge two and a half yuan for dried chili peppers?"
A tall man stood in front of Mu Tiande. He almost burst into tears when he heard the news.
He is tall and strong, but because he has never read a book, he is often cheated when he goes out to work.
Once he was deceived into a black coal mine and almost died there. Fortunately, he escaped back to Shanhe Village. He no longer dared to go out to work casually and relied on God to make a living.
It’s not easy to dig food from the land. Every household can’t finish the chili peppers. They are all happy to be able to get some extra money to pay for their children’s school fees.
The man was so happy that he sold all the chili peppers at home. Holding a hundred yuan tightly in his hand, he said to his eldest son, "Don't worry about the tuition fees for next semester."
The son's red face smiled.
Not only this one family, but many families sold the chili peppers with tears in their eyes, then turned around and said to their families, "Let's buy meat for the next market day."
The children jumped with joy.
The old man who had trouble with Mu Tiande was named Cai, and everyone called him Old Man Cai.
The two of them didn't have much hatred, but during the land allocation, Mu Tiande got the land that Old Man Cai had always been optimistic about.
From then on, Old Man Cai saw that Mu Tiande’s eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose.
When I first heard that he was collecting chili peppers in the village, I was moved but couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Later, when his wife went out carrying more than 20 kilograms of chili peppers.
Mu Tiande said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I won't accept it. I just received two hundred kilograms. My grandson-in-law is a food stall and won't use much. When it runs out, I will be the first to accept it next time."
Old Man Cai turned red with anger as he watched the old woman bring the pepper back up.
"Lao Mutou is not particular at all. How could he live in his granddaughter's husband's house? Sooner or later he will be driven back."
However, in fact, when Mu Tiande and Chen Xizhu got into the car, they were greeted by the whole village.
"Tian De, you have lived a good life."
"Xizhu, come back and see us old guys if you have nothing to do."
"Ning Ning, treat your grandparents well. They have had a very hard life."
Muning took Grandma Fu's hand and promised, "Don't worry, Grandma Fu, I will let my grandparents live happily in the city."
As the car drove out of the village, a group of little kids followed behind and shouted, "Sister Ningning, goodbye."
Muning was particularly prone to tears now. She replied loudly, "Go back quickly. Next time my sister comes back, I will bring you delicious food."
The little kids all heard it, and from then on they looked at the village entrance every day, "Why isn't Sister Ningning coming back?"
Gu Lin drove into the city and did not return to Daliushuyuan immediately. Instead, he went to the county hospital.
Muning touched his belly and wanted to know how the baby was doing.
When the four of them first appeared in the lobby, they were caught by a nurse they knew and heard that they were coming for a prenatal check-up. Actively led them to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
After an examination, the obstetrician and gynecologist announced happily.
"Yes, you are pregnant with twins."
"Nowadays, family planning is tightened. You can have two children in one pregnancy. You are really lucky. Both children look very healthy. Go back and take good care of your body. Wait about four months before you have to do it. A mother of two."
"Happiness."
