Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 41 41. Want to save some pocket money?

After Xiang Jin drew the picture for more than an hour, she felt like dozing off, so she went to bed and lay down.

But when she woke up, there were only her and Xiang Nan in the house, and the little girl was facing her back, wondering what she was doing at that desk.

She rolled over and got out of bed, walked over to look, and then the corners of her eyes twitched. The little girl was drawing there with the colored pens and the drawing paper she bought earlier.

But what is she drawing?The water is not like water, and the trees are not like trees, but the flowers and plants beside her are all painted in random colors.

The color of the leaves of flowers and plants is green, but she wants to paint you some red, yellow, and blue, and so are the flowers. There are more than a dozen colors painted on a flower.

It was so ugly, but she still seemed to draw very seriously.

"Is this how you wasted my colored pens?"

With a sudden sound, the little girl shook her hands and was shocked, the colored pen drew out of the bounds.

The little girl turned her head, looked at her with displeasure, and said, "Sister, you scared me so much that I ruined the painting."

Xiang Jin stood behind her with her arms folded, raised her eyebrows, "Is yours a painting? I don't see anything else except the color."

The little girl was dissatisfied, "Why am I not painting? Look, there are trees, flowers, grass, and rivers?"

Xiang Jin frowned and said, "Trees grow in the river, so you are not afraid of being drowned by the water? And the flowers and plants, are there so many colors?"

Xiang Nan wanted to refute, but Xiang Jin stopped her, "Okay, if you want to learn to draw, I'll teach you when you have time later, don't waste my materials now."

The little girl wanted to say angrily that she didn't want her to teach, but when she thought that the house she drew was not good-looking, she suddenly changed her mind, "That's what you said?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "I said, well, let me ask you, where are Mom and Aunt Liao?"

"Aunt Liao went to pull grass in her mung bean field, and Mom went to help her."

Since Xiang Qun was admitted to the middle school, she has belonged to the national population, and then her land was handed over, and so was Xiang Yang. Auntie's family now only has her own land, and it is estimated that it only has a little more than an acre of land.

Because of the painful experience of peeling corn kernels in the past few years, she planted very little corn this year. She only planted two or three quarters of corn, and then planted peanuts and mung beans for the rest. There are soybeans, and she thought that it would be the same to smash these beans and sell them before buying some corn.

But their family is different. Their family is basically all corn now, and only a little more than one cent of the land is planted with peanuts.

Before her mother divorced Xiang Hai, Xiang Hai's field had grown a lot of peanuts and mung beans, because there were several pieces of sandy land in front of them, and that kind of land was very suitable for growing peanuts and mung beans, because The sandy land leaks water quickly, and it is not easy to flood the seedlings.

However, it is not acceptable to grow food crops such as corn with shallow roots, because the roots of corn are exposed outside the soil. If the weather is a little dry, the crops will not be able to get water, and they will easily die. harvest.

Xiang Jin nodded.

But when it came to tearing weeds, Xiang Jin suddenly remembered the large area of ​​money grass that she saw when she just woke up and was dragged by a few peers in the bay to hunt pigweed.

There are a lot of things going on at home recently, and she didn't take them into consideration, and she doesn't know if the money grass is still there?What does it look like.

So she hooked her fingers towards Nan, stood up to Nan, and leaned her head towards her, "Why?"

Xiang Jin asked her abductively, "Do you want to save some pocket money yourself?"

Xiang Nan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and then he nodded violently, "Think about it!"

Xiang Jin said, "Do you still remember the pile of medicinal materials drying at the base of the wall next to you?"

Xiang Nan nodded sharply "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".

Xiang Jin said, "Let's go, let's lock the door. Now that the sun is not as hot as it is at noon, let's go out and fetch some herbs, and then we'll dry it and sell it for money."

"Okay!" The little girl was missing a tooth, and her eyes narrowed in a smile.

The two sisters locked the door, and then went out each carrying a backpack, but Xiang Jin also brought a hoe.

Xiang Nan asked, "Talking about herbs, why do you still take it, don't you think it's blocking the way?"

Xiang Jin said, "What if there are stubborn plantain seeds that are hard to pull? So bring a hoe and dig it!"

In fact, the real intention of her carrying the hoe is that it is now the hot summer, and she is afraid that she will encounter snakes at that time. You must know that kind of thing likes to hide under those grass trees, and she still feels very guilty when trying to pull it with her hands. What if you get caught?
Hey, just thinking about the soft, icy and slippery touch of the flesh, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

But there is no way, their family is short of money now, and in this age, this place, and at this time, she really didn't think of any profitable business for a while, only this herbal medicine can barely be talked about up.

Therefore, she didn't dare to tell the truth to the little girl. She was afraid that if she told her, she wouldn't accompany her to talk about herbs in the future, what should I do?
She didn't say anything, but the little girl thought of it by herself, and saw that they had already walked out of the house for dozens of meters, but the little girl suddenly turned back and said to her, "No, I have to go back and get a shoulder bag. From time to time, I use that shoulder to pick and pull those money plants, so as not to have long worms hiding in it."

Xiang Jin was taken aback, then cast an appreciative look at her, nodded, "Good idea!"

The little girl put down her shoulder strap and ran back, Xiang Jin was waiting for her at the same place, and soon the little girl resisted a shoulder strap and came back.

In fact, the so-called shoulder bag is nothing more than a farm tool similar to palladium woven by rural people. It is generally used to collect firewood, or to remove the grass clippings and moss in the grain when harvesting grain. Those hold together a pile, so that the grain below is leaked out very well.

The two sisters came to the place where Xiang Jin first discovered. The money plant was still there, and it seemed to grow better than before. It was green and hadn't bloomed yet. The leaves were also big and fat. Because it rained earlier.

"Wow, so much? Sis, we got rich today," the little girl couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it.

Looking at her exaggerated expression, Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing, "You can't make a fortune with this, but you should be able to sell it for a few yuan or ten yuan after drying it."

"How many ten yuan? Wow, that's a lot," the little girl was surprised again, with a longing look on her face.

It's also like they might have a few yuan of lucky money during the Chinese New Year, which is usually not available, and judging from their previous status and situation in Lao Xiang's family, the people of Lao Xiang's family must be reluctant to give it to them For those who give out lucky money, they can only receive lucky money from their grandparents and two uncles.

But the money in this era is very precious, so even if you accept them, it is impossible to receive much money, at most one or two yuan per person. When she was in the city in her previous life, the New Year's money was only five yuan or so when she was a child. Ten yuan, it is even more conceivable in rural areas.

Moreover, the new year's money received by the children is not their own in the end, it must be handed over to the adults, so it is extremely difficult for them to get the money in their hands.

Therefore, it's no wonder that the little girl showed such a surprise expression when she saw that piece of money grass.

The little girl was about to pick up those money plants while holding on to her shoulders, but Xiang Jin stopped her, "Wait a minute, let me come, your shoulders are easy to pull off the leaves on it, I'll use a hoe to shovel them first. Later, you can use your shoulder bag to gather them together, and then you can directly put them in the shoulder strap later.”

The little girl thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay!"

Then she stood aside, and Xiang Jin went over to shovel with a hoe in hand.It didn't take long, only ten or ten minutes, Xiang Jin shoveled the large area of ​​money grass clean.

Then the little girl took the shoulder bag to carry it, and Xiang Jin saw that she was struggling to carry it, so she took the work from her, and within a few minutes, they stuffed a big bag full of it.篼.

The result was gratifying. Seeing that her small back was still empty, Xiang Nan suggested to Xiang Jin, "Sister, why don't we look around here again, maybe there are still some."

Xiang Jin shook his head, "Don't look for it yet, there are still a lot of plantain seeds here, let's pick these plantain seeds first, this plantain seed is weighed."

"okay!"

So the sisters started digging up plantain seeds again.

Finally, Bai came out who lived up to their trip. When the sun was about to set, the two sisters went back with a basket full of medicinal materials.

In order to continue this lucrative business and prevent others from imitating it and causing the surrounding medicinal materials to dry up, the two sisters put a layer of hogweed on the top of the back sling before going home.
