Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 102. 101. Discuss Something

The next day, it was time for them to play in town again. Xiang Jin and the others went to the bookstore after finishing everything.

The clerk promised to give them information today, so they are going to hear the result.

When the two arrived at the bookstore, the management staff recognized them both immediately, and without them asking, the management staff took the lead in apologizing to them, "Oh girl, I'm really sorry. Several bookstores here have called, but they all said that there is no such book, and they said that if you are not in a hurry and are willing to wait, they can call again and ask in the provincial capital for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, forget it if you don't have one, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome anymore. It's not that I have to read that book, it's just that I asked you about that book on a whim."

The clerk nodded, "Okay, okay, the little girl will see if there are other books to buy, and we will give you a [-]% discount then."

Thanks to Xiang Jin and the others, they really selected a few books there, but most of them were extracurricular miscellaneous books and the like.

After returning home, Aunt Liao had already returned from her mother's house and was helping them make lunch in the kitchen. Xiang Nan was cooking a pot, but she didn't see grandma, so she asked.

Aunt Liao said that she was growing vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Xiang Jin put down the basket, took out the vegetables inside and handed them to Aunt Liao for her to deal with. She said she would go to the vegetable field to have a look.

Aunt Liao agreed.

When Xiang Jin arrived there, her grandmother was fetching a bucket of water from a well on the side of the road to water, so Xiang Jin hurried over to help.

"Why do you grow vegetables in the field in such a hot day? You can just choose a time in the morning or in the afternoon when it is slightly cooler? Why do you have to choose it in the middle of the day? How hot is it? "

Her grandmother let her take the small bucket, and then said with a smile, "Your pimple seedlings are destroyed, and the land will be vacant, so I thought it would be better to plant it.

It just so happened that your Aunt Liao came back and said that she would make it for lunch, so I planted it while I was free, but it’s not too hot right now? "

"Isn't it hot yet? You see that your forehead is covered with sweat," Xiang Jin said.

Her grandmother said, "What is this? It will be over in a while. Which rural people are afraid of the heat?"

Xiang Jin asked, "What kind of vegetables are you growing? I originally planned to buy some pimple seedlings and replant them, but today the old man who sells vegetable seedlings has a good business and sells them quickly. The seedlings were sold out, and when I went, he was packing up the stall and getting ready to go home."

Her grandmother said, "It's okay, it's the same with other vegetables, I planted some carrots, white radishes, and spinach, and these vegetables grow faster.

Especially the white radish, the seedlings will grow in a few days or ten days, and then you can take it out and cook a soup or stir-fry a vegetarian dish, or even make some sauerkraut. It is more refreshing to cook porridge in summer , the craftsmen ate sauerkraut porridge to quench their thirst. "

The mother-in-law and grandson soon reached the ground, and the grandmother took a ladle and scooped the water out of the bucket one by one, and then poured it evenly on the soil.

While splashing, she added, "In this way, water several times a day. In this hot weather, the vegetable seeds will germinate in a day or two. If we take care of them properly later, we will soon have white radish sprouts and spinach. ate."

Xiang Jin nodded, and after she ran out of water in the bucket, she carried the bucket to the well on the side of the road to fetch water. After going back and forth several times, they finally planted the vegetables thoroughly. down.

On the way back, her grandmother told her, "This morning, your second uncle said that some of the silkworms raised at home have turned red for a long time."

Xiang Jin didn't know what the silkworm's redness meant, was it sick or something else?So she didn't answer, so she heard her grandma continue to say, "They plan to feed them mulberry leaves for a day or two, and they will be given aging medicine, and the foundation of your house will go away today and tomorrow." All right.

In addition, your aunt Liao came back and said that her brother and nephew from her natal family had taken over a job from someone else's family, and it would take four or five days to come here, so I thought I would go back with your uncle tomorrow afternoon , Help them pick that old silkworm.

This summer, the silkworms will age quickly after taking the anti-aging medicine, otherwise those silkworms will spit out the silk in the dustpan, but your grandpa will stay here to help you Take care of the construction site, and help you clean up the potholes around you by the way. "

Xiang Jin said, "Then shall we go over to help when the time comes?"

Her grandmother waved her hand and refused, "Oh, that's no need. You are busy with your work, and you have a lot of things to do in a day. Our old silkworms are too busy to pick them up by themselves. When the time comes, we will call your grandpa and the others to help pick them together." It's the same for a while, they didn't raise silkworms this year, and they have plenty of time.

The purpose of me telling you this is to discuss something with you, that is, the bread corn in your field, wait two days later to break it, and come back after we have picked up those old silkworms at home and sent them to the tree. You break. "

Xiang Jin waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, you go back, we can do it ourselves, and we can break it off ourselves."

Her grandmother said, "Huh? You break it yourself? That's still a lot of acres of land. How can you finish breaking it by yourself? Then we will add your uncle, aunt, and some of your cousins ​​to break it up together. quick?"

Xiang Jin just smiled, and didn't show politeness to her grandma, so she responded directly with "Okay!"

The foundation of Xiang Jin's house was not delayed until the next day, and they were completed in the afternoon of the same day, but the time was much longer than before, until about half an hour after the sun set in the afternoon before the end.

According to what Sun Shijiang and the others said, they would not pay for their half-day work tomorrow.

Xiang Jin knew it was their benevolence, so they also cooked dinner for them that afternoon. Her grandmother and Aunt Liao started preparing it early on.

Their meal was bigger than before, with six dishes and one soup, four meat and two vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.

Since others were benevolent, Xiang Jin naturally didn't want to drag that craftsman's money, so she stopped what she was doing, and then calculated the craftsman's money for each of them during this period, and then made a watch list.

Because things happened suddenly, they were not prepared yet, so the money left by the family was not enough, and she had to go to Yan Chen to borrow some.

Because he didn't save Yan Chen's money for the goods they sold today, so she planned to borrow it from him for emergency, and when the goods were delivered tomorrow, she would pay him back directly.

Yan Chen handed it to her without further ado, but he had all the bills in one hundred and zero rolls, and he didn't get zero. In the end, Xiang Jin had to go to a few families in the bay who were usually on good terms to exchange the zero. She was too busy after all this, but fortunately, she finally got all the change she needed.

After dinner, it was already dark, but Xiang Jin still asked them to stay a little longer, and they settled their craftsmen's money.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this, and they all said that they are the happiest hosts here, and they get paid every time they finish their work, and they will never default on the artisans' money for a day.

Xiang Jin and the others just smiled, and Xiang Jin said, "The way of heaven is great, and the autumn harvest is coming soon, and some people may have raised silkworms at home. Everyone will be very busy at home in the future. The money is settled with everyone, so as not to delay the time when everyone runs around with each other and still suffer from the heat."

Everyone nodded to express that this was the reason, but when they were paying their wages, everyone wanted to give them half of their wages, but Xiang Jin and the others did not agree.

"Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your hard work and hard work recently, but it's really not necessary, no, I thought you would finish the project tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we haven't prepared before. I borrowed it from an acquaintance in Wantou.

In order to change the change, I almost ran all over the whole bay, so I really can't find the change for you now that you are asking us to work, so you really don't need it. "

Sun Shijiang and the others said, "Look at what you are saying. It doesn't matter if the craftsman pays the money a few days late. Anyway, we are so familiar and we are not afraid that you will run away. There is no need for you to pay today." , how troublesome is it?"

Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Don't bother, don't bother, anyway, sooner or later, we have to pay, and we can feel at ease after paying, and put one thing in our hearts."

Everyone said yes, follow Xiang Jin and send money to everyone, as before, ask one person to come forward to collect one person, and then sign and press the book to indicate that they have paid the money, and the other party I also took it.

After everything was done, it was nearly nine o'clock, and Xiang Jin said to her second uncle, "Uncle, don't go back tonight, just stay here for one night, and go back tomorrow."

Her mother also greeted him that way, but the second uncle still hesitated.

Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Just follow what Jin girl said, you will stay here for one night today, it's so late, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, I don't worry about you walking that mountain alone, you Go down there and spend the night with your father on the construction site."

Her second uncle said, "Why don't you worry about that, I'm already such an adult?"

Xiang Jin's grandmother stared at him with a dark face, and Xiang Jin's mother said, "That mountain, I heard it used to be a temple of the underworld, and in the old days, all those who died nearby were taken there and buried there. , I heard that a lot of people were buried there during the previous wars, how can we feel relieved when you walk alone in the middle of the night? So don’t go back.”

In the previous life, she believed in the theory of Feng Shui, and suddenly came here to live the second life, so Xiang Jin still believed in the theory of ghosts and gods in this world, so after what her mother and grandma said at the moment, Xiang Jin couldn't help feeling a creepy feeling.

So she hurriedly said, "Yes, second uncle, you can go back tomorrow, after breakfast tomorrow, grandma said she would go back too, and go back to help you pick up the old silkworms. It will be cooler when you go back tomorrow morning, and your journey will still turn around." faster."

Under the staring eyes of everyone, her second uncle finally agreed, and followed everyone to wash up in turn, and Xiang Jin continued to catch up with her goods after washing up. There are a lot of things today, so I will delay It took a lot of time, so it is estimated that she will assemble it after twelve o'clock tonight.
