Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 196 195. Calm and steady!

Early the next morning, when Xiang Jin got up from the bed and was washing by the well, she told Aunt Liao, "Auntie, I'll go to the market later, you can help me deliver a meal to my grandfather in the morning." ?”

Aunt Liao said, "It's so early, why don't you go after breakfast?"

"No, I have to catch the train at 06:30 and go to the street to eat later. I have a lot of things to do today, so I have to make sure to catch the train at noon," Xiang Jin refused.

"Oh, that's it, okay! Then do you have enough money? If not, Auntie will take it for you, and it will be the same when you return it to me when your mother comes back?" Aunt Liao followed and asked again.

Xiang Jin said, "That's enough, that's enough." Xiang Jin washed the facecloth, then wrung out the water on it, hung it on a rope to dry, and then went into the house to take With the things I packed last night and the backpack, I went to the market.

After arriving in the town, she first went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat, and brought a few catties of bones, and then found a small restaurant to have a simple breakfast.

Following her, she looked at the time, guessing that it was almost time, she went back up to the street where Yan Chen took her to sell casual sportswear to buy clothes and shoes for Xiang Lan.

The proprietress has a pretty good memory. When she saw her coming in, she immediately greeted her enthusiastically, "Little girl, are you here to buy clothes again today? Let me tell you that we have recently arrived in a few batches of new styles. You will look good when you wear them, little girl. "As he spoke, he was going to lead her there.

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I won't buy it for me this time, I'll buy it for my sister."

"Oh, that's also suitable. We have sizes ranging from small to large. How old is your sister? Can I get her a suitable size?" The proprietress asked patiently.

Xiang Jin said, "My sister is not tall, she is only a little over nine years old, not yet ten years old, and her height is almost at the level of my chest," and then she gestured to her about the same height.

The proprietress looked at it, nodded and said, "Oh, yes, we have some sportswear for children's clothing here, just take a look."

Xiang Jin nodded, and walked to the side with her, and saw that there were indeed several sportswear for teenagers, and then asked about their respective prices, and finally Xiang Jin chose one of that color A little brighter, because she thinks Xiang Lan looks good in red.

After the proprietress saw it, she kept praising her for her good eyesight, "Oh, this is good, this color looks festive and beautiful!"

I believe it's not because she wants to be festive or not, but because she thinks that Xiang Lan will look good and energetic in red!
So she asked, "Boss, do you have a pickup caliper here?"

The proprietress said, "Yes, yes, just wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the boss came out from the cash register with a piciper, and then the lady boss took it and handed it to her, and Xiang Jin took it and compared it with the size she measured last night, and began to measure the length and shoulder width of the clothes. measured.

The proprietress reminded me, "It doesn't matter if the clothes and trousers are a little longer, but don't make them too long. If they are too big, they won't look good on you. Two or three centimeters is fine.

After all, the children are growing up. Besides, you bought your sportswear, so you can wear it at the beginning of winter. If you buy a big set, it will be easy to wear it inside. "

"En!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly, but her hands still didn't stop. After a while, she handed the two sets of clothes and the leather caliper to the proprietress, "That's it?"

After the proprietress took the clothes, she said, "Two sets?"

"Well, two sets!" The little girl is not like them. They don't have school uniforms in the village primary school. Only the children's schools in the rural primary schools will uniformly customize school uniforms, so it's better to buy an extra set for her.

The proprietress was immediately overjoyed, "Oh, okay, I'm going to check and pack for you right now?"

Xiang Jin said, "Miss Boss, give me a cheaper price. You see, I buy two sets as soon as I buy them, and you bought them at your store last time."

The look on the boss lady's face suddenly lightened a little, she looked at Xiang Jin and said, "Should it be less?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, less!"

Originally, she also reported a tentative attitude, but seeing the expression of the proprietress, she felt that her bargaining price was promising, so she strengthened her expression, "If you give me less this time, I will come to you next time when I buy clothes. You can even bring your classmates and friends to your place.”

The proprietress looked at the boss behind the counter with a hesitant look, and the boss said after pondering for a while, "Well then, I will give you ten yuan less for a set of clothes."

ten bucks?Yes, two sets of clothes cost 20 yuan, and she can use that 20 yuan to buy another pair of shoes for Xiang Lan. It can be seen that there is still a need for bargaining, so Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then check it for me and pack it."

The two immediately raised the corners of their mouths and laughed again, and during the packing process, the proprietress said to Xiang Jin, "Little girl, you must come to our house when you buy clothes in the future? Also, don't forget Bring your friends, and I will give you a discount when you come to our house to buy clothes."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay!"

After paying, she put the clothes bag into the back basket, then got up and went to the next door to buy shoes for Xiang Lan. After buying the shoes, she looked at the time on the watch again and found that the time was just right , the bank was already open for work, so she carried her things and went straight to the Postal Savings Bank up there.

There she found a total of four sums of money, all of which were her royalties. There were two sums of more than 2000 yuan, and two sums of more than 1000 yuan, totaling more than 7000 yuan. After the land transfer was made into a fixed deposit, she went to the mailbox next door to submit a few more manuscripts, and finally saw that it was still early for the departure time, so she went to the vegetable market to buy a fish and a few pieces of dried tofu.

Xiang Jin returned to Wanli, and when she passed by Grandma Mo's house, she abducted her directly to them with a basket on her back.

Yan Chen was reading a book in the room at the time, and when he saw her coming, he asked, "Going to the market?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, come to our house for dinner tonight, I bought vegetables."

"Don't you think it's troublesome?" The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

Xiang Jin said, "Don't bother, I never bother to make food for myself. Alas, what about Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, why are you the only one at home?"

Yan Chen said, "My grandfather went to the market, and my grandmother went to your house and picked some fruits and vegetables for you."

"Oh, that's fine, then I'll go back," Xiang Jin nodded, then turned around.

Yan Chen put down the book, took the pannier off her body, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Xiang Jin said, "Aren't you guarding the house at home?"

Yan Chen said, "Just lock it."

"Oh fine!"

Yan Chen locked the door, followed the two and walked towards Aunt Liao's house, Yan Chen asked, "Did you buy fish again?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I found that the chopped peppers I made earlier seem to be ripe, so I plan to make a fish head with chopped peppers to try."

"Can you make it?"

"It's too late. I'll make it early in the afternoon. When it's ready, the two of us will eat first. After eating, we'll go to school for evening self-study. They can eat slowly at home then."

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"

After a while, he asked again, "Then do you want me to come over and help you then?"

Xiang Jin remembered Han Che complaining about his poor cooking skills, so he said, "No, no, I can do it myself when the time comes, and I won't cook too much, just a few dishes will do."

"All right!"

"Oh, I just saw that you were studying high school courses, isn't that right?" Xiang Jin asked again.

Yan Chen nodded slightly, "Yes!"

"You're taking high school courses now, are you amazing? Then why don't you just skip a grade?"

Yan Chen said, "I think learning is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but a gradual process. You can't rush it, it's better to be safe!"

Xiang Jin gave him a thumbs up, "It's rare for a young man like you to be so steady!"

Yan Chen was amused, "It seems that you are younger than me?"

Then Xiang Jin was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Oh, what's the matter with that?!" My sister's soul age is older than yours!
When the two arrived home, Xiang Jin saw that Grandma Mo was with them, and her mother and Xiang Lan had also returned. Xiang Lan was feeding the chickens at the chicken fence, and several adults were standing around and forming a dragon gate formation.

When several people saw her, they all smiled slightly, and Grandma Mo greeted her, "Girl Jin is back from the show?"

Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Grandma Mo."

"Sister?!" Xiang Lan happily put down the food bowl in his hand when he saw her, and jumped in front of her in a few steps, but after seeing Yan Chen, he politely called "Brother Yan."

Yan Chen nodded slightly to her, then walked to the edge of the street and put down the basket.

Xiang Jin walked up to the adults, and then Yang Juyun said, "Just let it go for a day, why do you want to catch up with me? I'll do it myself when the time comes."

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie said, we are going to dig a well and cook a stove tomorrow. I saw that the food at home was all gone, so I went to buy some."

Yang Juyun's heart felt very warm immediately, and then she straightened the broken hair by her ears, "Are you tired?"

Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, what's the point of being tired? Where's my grandma? Didn't my grandma come back with you?"

Her mother said, "The millet at home has just been threshed and needs to be dried by hand, so I asked her not to come back for a while, and take care of the family affairs with your two uncles and aunts."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Then, have all the millets in their families finished harvesting?"

Yang Juyun said, "It's almost done. There is still one field, which belongs to your second uncle's family. It looks like a lot of fields. Because the sky was dry before, the position of that field is a little higher. It was after your second uncle and the others pumped water. It was planted, so the rice in the field is still a little green now, and I guess it will take another week to harvest, but there are not many of them, and it will take only your second uncle and second aunt for an hour or two. Just take it, no problem."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "How about their rice harvest this year?"

Her mother said, "It's okay. The family needs to harvest several thousand catties of millet. Your grandma and your grandfather will probably harvest more than 2000 catties of millet this year."

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's not bad."

Yang Juyun said, "Now it's all hybrid rice. If one mu of paddy field is cultivated, at least one season can produce [-] kilograms of millet. If it's good, it can harvest [-] to [-] kilograms."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, then we have to thank our great scientists."

Aunt Liao said, "Don't you just have to thank them? If they didn't come up with this hybrid rice, how could we get so much grain per mu? In the past, one mu of paddy field could produce five or six hundred catties of rice. It’s as good as the sky, and now it’s doubled.”

The women burst out laughing, and Xiang Lan looked at Xiang Jin and asked, "Sister, what ingredients did you buy, can I take them to the kitchen for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, by the way, go and put that fish in the water to raise it first, and then kill it after lunch. Don't let it die right now."

"okay!"

Xiang Lan happily went to help her sister tidy up those dishes, but when she saw the clothes pocket on the top shelf in the back basket, she couldn't help complaining, "Sister, you bought clothes again?!"

Hearing her sour tone and unhappy look, Xiang Jin rolled her eyes in the sky speechlessly, "That's for you."

"You bought it for me?"

The little girl immediately turned from grief to joy, and then raised the bag and wanted to open it, but Xiang Jin reminded, "Go and release that fish for me to raise."

"Oh, oh, oh," the little girl hurriedly put the clothes bag aside, and then carried the fish with a big bag of water in it and set it free.

Then Xiang Jin said to Grandma Mo, "Grandma Mo, come to our house for dinner tonight. I told Yan Chen just now."

"Come to eat again?" Grandma Mo said with a smile.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I bought all the dishes, and I don't cook for you often, we only come back once in two weeks, this time I did it, and it may take a long time next time will do it."

Grandma Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then we will come then."

Xiang Jin said, "We may have dinner earlier today, at about five o'clock, and Yan Chen and I have dinner to catch up with school for evening self-study, so we will leave at least 05:30 .”

Grandma Mo said, "Oh, isn't that very rushed?"

Xiang Jin said, "No, I cook early in the afternoon, and it may be ready after four o'clock in the afternoon, so don't eat too much at noon. Auntie, Mom, let's eat less noodles at noon."

"Yes, yes!" Aunt Liao and her mother nodded.

Then Xiang Jin invited Grandma Mo and Yan Chen to have lunch with them too. Yan Chen didn't care, anyway, he and Xiang Jin were already very familiar, but Grandma Mo disagreed, saying how could they have two meals in a row? She ate at their house all the time, but she still couldn't resist the persuasion of Xiang Jin's mother and Aunt Liao, and finally agreed to have lunch at their house.

So Xiang Jin's mother and the adults went to the kitchen to make lunch together, and by the way, sorted out some ingredients that Xiang Jin wanted to use in the afternoon.

Then Xiang Jin ran to take out the cans of chopped peppers she had made before, opened one of the cans, and put it under Yan Chen's nose for him to smell, "How is it, it's not bad Bar?"

Yan Chen said, "It's not broken!"

Then Xiang Jin said with a happy face, "I will use this to cook a famous Hunan dish for you this afternoon--chopped pepper fish head, let you also try my cooking."

Seeing the smug look on the corner of her mouth, Yan Chen couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, by the way, I made five or six cans at that time, and you will also bring a bottle back. Grandpa Zeng will probably like this fish head with chopped peppers, and then let Grandma Mo make it for him!

At that time, I will ask my grandma to bring back a can for each of my two uncles, and then leave another can for Aunt Liao. "

"What about your family, doesn't your family only have one jar?" Yan Chen said.

Xiang Jin said, "One can is enough for our family."

However, at this moment, Xiang Lan changed into the new clothes that Xiang Jin bought for her today and followed Xiang Jin's intention, "Sister, do you look good?"

Xiang Jin stared at her seriously for a moment, then nodded, "Well, it looks good!"

Then Xiang Lan ran up to her with a happy face and said, "Sister, I saw that you bought me two sets?!"

Xiang Jin said, "Well, there are two sets, so you can be content. I bought more for you than I bought for myself. If you are disobedient at home and don't study hard at school, when I come back, I will take your clothes away." Confiscated from you!"

Xiang Lan hurriedly expressed her opinion almost as soon as she finished speaking, "Sister, I am obedient, and I will study hard too!"

"Well, go, change your clothes, and then I'll wash them for you later, and then wear them when it's cold!"

"okay!"

Seeing her threatening and intimidating her younger sister, hitting her with a stick and feeding a sweet date, the corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up even higher.

Xiang Lan brought her the clothes, and Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "If you feel bored, you can go to my room and get a book to read, or go back to your house and continue reading the book you read before. Book, the meal will be ready later, I will ask Xiang Lan to call you, or I will bring you over to eat, it is the same."

Yan Chen said, "It's okay, I'll just read a book with you."

Xiang Jin nodded, "It's all on the desk in my room, you can do what you want," followed her and told Xiang Lan, "Put these bottles of chopped chili back into the room."

"okay!"

After the family had a simple lunch, Xiang Jin directly started to prepare the evening meals. She made two dishes for the big fat fish. For the fish head, she directly made a fish head with chopped peppers. The body of the fish was cut into pieces and marinated to make a stewed fish with tofu, and then I made a stir-fried pork with chili and dried celery, added a cold Lizhuang white meat, and a bridge head ribs, and then grilled it again. Ordered a vegetarian three delicacies soup.

There are not many dishes, but there are a lot of dishes, and then Yang Juyun saw that there were only the two of them in the kitchen, so she said, "Xiang Jin, why don't you find a jar for your cousin Yang Hui to bring some food to him tomorrow morning?" Just eat with these dishes?"

Xiang Jin directly refused, "Let's forget it. In the current weather, can we put it until tomorrow morning? You are out of kindness to love your nephew, and it will be bad if he eats the spoiled food and has diarrhea." .”

Yang Juyun said, "That's true?!"

Xiang Jin nodded, and then comforted, "Oh, don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future, when the weather gets colder, if we make something delicious, it won't be too late to bring it to her.

Oh, by the way, I will give you a list later. When I come back from the next vacation, you can prepare the ingredients and seasonings in advance, and I will teach you how to make stewed vegetables.

Remember, when you go to buy condiments, go to several stores and buy them separately, don't buy them at the same store. By then, people will learn the recipes and you can open a stewed meat store yourself. "

"Well, well, I know!"

Afterwards, Xiang Jin explained to her mother again, "At that time, you will see that the supply and marketing cooperatives have small scales that specialize in spices. If there are, just buy a stick and make stewed vegetables. Proportioning, some things must not be too much or too little, otherwise the taste will change.”

"Well, I get it! Then do you still have money to use? If you don't have money, I'll take it for you?"

Xiang Jin said, "I still have money, so you don't have to worry about me. If I don't have money, I will ask you for it."

Following Yang Juyun, he continued to explain to her, "Oh, okay, don't you take advantage of yourself at school? Our house has already been repaired, and we only have a well and a stove at home. When the time comes It doesn’t cost much, and we can cover the price of those craftsmen’s work, so you don’t need to save, eat what you should eat at school, and drink what you should drink!”

Although a little moved, Xiang Jin still said, "Oh, I know, I don't want to let myself suffer. Don't worry, I'm really rich." After exploring, Xiang Jin dug out a handful of money from his pocket and gave it to her Look, "Look, didn't you lie?"

Yang Juyun saw that she still had three or four hundred yuan in her hand, and the worry in her heart was finally gone.

Then Xiang Jin told her, "I'm eating in the school cafeteria now, and the money I have is enough to last until next year, so you don't have to worry."

Then Yang Juyun said, "Oh, don't worry, don't worry!"

"Okay, let's invite everyone to eat. Do you think I'll bring grandpa's food to him right now, or should I drop by and bring it to him when I go to school later?" Xiang Jin followed and asked.

Yang Juyun said, "I'll take it to him later, he's not used to eating too early."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then went to get her grandfather's food out of the thermos, so as not to get cold later.
