Sure enough, when they arrived at that place, they found that all the camellias around them had been picked. All that was left were some bare roots. Tang Xiaoman sighed and said, "It seems that someone knew that these camellias could be sold for money and came to pick them in advance!"
Xiao Taohua said very frustrated: "We are still late, we can't make money from this in the future!"
Tang Xiaoman said: "It doesn't matter, little Taohua, these things are actually not difficult. If others know how to do it, it doesn't matter if they get there first!"
But Tang Xiaoman didn't expect it to be so soon. It would be great if he could survive until the Chinese New Year.
Mr. Sun was watching from the side and suddenly said: "I used to go hunting with Wang Er in the mountains and saw this camellia in the mountains behind. Come on, follow me, I can still find it!"
Suddenly, several people were very happy, and they walked towards the mountains together.
Along the way, they picked a lot of wild fruits and mushrooms. After walking for about two hours, they arrived at the hilltop full of camellias that Sun had mentioned.
Tang Xiaoman didn't expect that the camellias here would bloom more luxuriantly because they were near the mountain shade and had not been hit by frost.
The little peach blossoms regained their energy and began to pick happily.
Sun and Tang Xiaoman started picking camellias while chatting about home affairs.
When the sun goes down, everyone’s baskets are filled with camellias.
As she was walking back, Ms. Sun suddenly slapped her thigh and remembered that there was a fruit tree nearby. She was going to pick some wild fruits to feed her children.
Tang Xiaoman followed her to see it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an ugly orange tree, which was covered with big and plump ugly oranges.
She quickly picked one and tasted it. It was very sweet.
"Are there any fruit trees like this around here?"
Tang Xiaoman had an idea and asked Sun.
Mrs. Sun nodded and said: "There are still some around here. It used to be an orchard, but no one managed it anymore. Everyone picked it as they pleased. It's just that it's too far away and no one comes here!"
Tang Xiaoman made up his mind. Now that some people know that these camellias can be sold for money, it is not a long-term solution.
Now I have to think about other ways to make money and save more money for the Chinese New Year.
This way, she will have the capital to start other businesses later this year. Tang Xiaoman also picked a lot of oranges, and she plans to make jam later.
After returning home, Tang Xiaoman discovered that Su Ping'an had repaired all the brooms and was still sitting there waiting for her to go home.
Tang Xiaoman hurried over and praised Su Ping'an, "Well done!"
But it was indeed done well, and Su Pingan's craftsmanship was also very good. The binding was strong, and it was also obvious that Su Pingan was quite good at doing this.
When packing his backpack in the evening, Tang Xiaoman thought that he had picked some ugly oranges for Su Pingan, and quickly took them out and peeled one for Su Pingan to eat.
Tang Xiaoman thought that there was no sugar at home. Even if she wanted to make marmalade, she had no choice but to wait.
Tang Xiaoman was very efficient in her work. After steaming the camellias, she planned to dry them tomorrow while the weather was nice.
At this time Mrs. Sun came over, and she was going to ask how to steam the camellia.
Of course, there are also skills involved. If it is not steamed well, it is easy for the medicinal effect to be unable to be exerted when it is finally used as medicine.
Tang Xiaoman once again taught Sun how to steam these camellias. When Tang Xiaoman sent her out, she saw that Su Pingan started to help her light a fire.
Tang Xiaoman was so frightened that he hurried over to stop him: "How could you go over? What if you fall down?"
"It's nothing serious, don't worry! The medicine Mr. Wang gave me this time is very good. I can still help with this little thing!"
However, Tang Xiaoman still didn't want his help because he was afraid that something would happen to him.
Tang Xiaoman quickly went over to check Su Ping'an's leg and made sure it was okay before resting. She went out to find a basket, put all the steamed camellias in and laid them out, and then let them dry.
On the next day, she made an appointment with Sun and Xiao Taohua to go to the mountain to pick camellias as usual. But today, Tang Xiaoman and three other people went into the mountain, only to find that the place where they just came yesterday had all turned into It was completely bare.
Could it be that he is being followed?
However, Tang Xiaoman was relatively sensible. She knew it was not the time to complain. She hurriedly asked Sun, "Sister Sun, do you know where else there are camellias?"
Mrs. Sun pointed to the other side with her finger, so they went to the other side pointed by Mrs. Sun. It was close to the mountains, with more camellias and sparsely populated areas.
The three of them picked a basket full and hurried home.
Back home, Tang Xiaoman found that Su Ping'an had already dried the camellias she had picked.
At this time, Mrs. Sun quickly called Tang Xiaoman: "Our Wang Er has already finished the wheelchair. Why don't you go and take a look?"
At this time, Tang Xiaoman remembered that the wheelchair she asked Wang Er to make had arrived. She was very happy, so she hurriedly went over to take a look. When she came to Wang Er's yard, she discovered that the wheelchair was already ready. , she hurriedly went over and pushed it, and found that the two wheels turned very smoothly, not jerky at all.
This Wang Er's craftsmanship is indeed good. Tang Xiaoman said, "I'll take it back to my family and give it to Ping An to try it out. Can I bring the money back tomorrow?"
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she said, "How can that happen? We don't want money!"
"No, there must be labor costs, and this is also Brother Wang's income from labor!"
When he returned home, Su Ping'an was still picking out those dried camellias in the yard, and Tang Xiaoman gave him the wheelchair.
He seemed very happy, after all, he had never seen anything called a wheelchair before.
Tang Xiaoman helped Su Pingan sit on it, "With this chair, you can move freely in the yard!"
Of course Su Pingan believed what Tang Xiaoman said. He was overjoyed. After sitting on it and trying it for a few times, he could really move freely.
Su Ping'an was as happy as a child, adjusting to the situation in the yard in a wheelchair.
Tang Xiaoman went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When she was about to go out to the yard to get the vegetables, she saw Su Pingan pushing the wheelchair and carrying the washed vegetables in for her.
"Here you go, Xiaoman, you can see I can go anywhere now!"
Indeed, these days, Su Ping'an's range of activities has been restricted, and it's almost suffocating him.
Now that he can help Tang Xiaoman, of course he is as happy as a child.
When Tang Xiaoman saw Su Pingan was so happy, she lightly tapped his head and said coquettishly: "Idiot!"
Su Pingan took the opportunity to grab Tang Xiaoman's slender hand, his face flushed.
