Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 43
As soon as Xiang Jin left, Mrs. Zhang yelled at the old man angrily, "You say you're fine, so why are you talking about it, two big ones cost 200 yuan, it's so cheap, are those bastards angry? "

The old man also suddenly lost his temper, "Go, go, see if you can get the money in your hand? Then her natal mother will push you to the ground and grind you to death. Blame me for not reminding you!"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she blushed and had a thick neck, "I'm still afraid that she won't succeed?"

The old man nodded with a sullen face, "You are not afraid of her, just go!"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but at this moment, Xiang Yan's impatient business came from the room, "Oh, I said, can you all live in peace, and do you want me to read?"

Mrs. Zhang turned her face away, and then raised her hand to wipe her face, "What do you think is my fate? Why are there people in one or two places? My wife and my wife are unreliable, and my children are unreliable. , I have to come and worry about them for a day."

The old man couldn't see what she was doing, so he turned around and went into the house.

When Xiang Jin came home, her mother asked her where she sent Fan Chunhua, and Xiang Jin told her that she sent it to the old Xiang's house.

Then Aunt Liao asked her if she met anyone from Lao Xiang's family?Did they embarrass them?
Xiang Jin told them the truth, and Aunt Liao curled her lips, "It's really shameless, such a thing can be done."

Yang Juyun frowned and remained silent.

Xiang Jin said, "It's understandable. After all, it's 200 yuan for two big ones. According to Xiang Nan's words, it can cut a lot of pork."

Xiang Nan stood there and nodded persistently, "Yeah, there's a lot of pork, we can bring down the house."

Aunt Liao and Yang Juyun suddenly laughed, and then Aunt Liao asked them what they had for dinner?
Xiang Jin said that she had picked the sweet potato leaves, and they would eat them at night. Anyway, there was carburetor there, so it would save trouble.

Everyone has no opinion.

Since the third day, two more people were added to the stonemason team, so Xiang Jin did not go to the Huangyewan construction site anymore, but stayed at home to take care of their meals.

In addition, when she is free, she and Xiang Nan chat about herbs nearby, and sometimes help Aunt Liao bring back some pigweed, and every other day or two, she goes to feed the small vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden. Watering or something.

Of course, now there is another old scalper to raise.

The cow was raised by the four of them together, and each household rotated once a month, and it was their turn since the day before yesterday.

Fortunately, Aunt Liao's house still had a cowshed, and their cattle hadn't been rotated yet, otherwise Xiang Jin and the others wouldn't know where to tie the cow.

One day, after washing up early in the morning, Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan, "Are you cooking or herding cattle?"

Xiang Nan said, "Let's cook." She was used to cooking with a fire, and she only needed to sit in front of the stove and occasionally add more firewood, and the rice would come to a boil.

And when she is cooking at home, she can also use her free time to practice painting. In the past two days, her sister taught her some painting skills, and she is keen on it.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then you can cook at home. After the rice is cooked, you can go to the field and pick up shallots and some patchouli leaves, and then peel a handful of garlic and wash some ginger out. , I'll make dinner when I get back."

"Yeah, huh," these are the usual tasks, although they sound complicated, but they are all very simple, Xiang Nan nodded like a pounding garlic.

Xiang Jin went to the kitchen to make food for Xiang Nan and asked her to heat up both pots. Xiang Nan was puzzled and asked what was the other pot for?

Xiang Jin said, "Today, mix with boiled peas."

"Oh, oh!"

Xiang Nan set the two pots on fire, and Xiang Jin first prepared the rice in the pot for her, then scooped up a scoop of dried peas and washed them with clean water, then poured them into the red-hot empty pot for cooking. Stir-fry repeatedly, and when they are all crackling and the surface is browned, quickly add a few ladles of water to the pot, and then explain to Xiang Nan.

"Pay attention to the boiling pot. It will be ready when they are all boiled and exploded and become soft, but don't let the water boil dry."

"Understood, don't worry, it's not like I haven't cooked peas before."

Xiang Jin glanced at her, "Let's go, I'll make cold beans when I get back!"

"Oh well!"

Xiang Jin took a small Miaozi knife and carried a back basket leading the cow and went out.

Her main task this morning is to herd the cattle, and to see if she can bring back some herbs by the way.

These days, she and Xiang Nan have dug a lot of herbs back, and they are piled up to dry in the corners of the walls on both sides, and at the head of the courtyard, and they have already dried several batches, so what are you waiting for? Go and sell them on the spot.

Because there are other people's crop fields everywhere, it is not easy for Xiang Jin to let go of this cow. I am afraid that if he is not careful, it will eat other people's crops with its neck stretched out and its head raised.

At that time, she and her mother's ears will definitely have a fever, and they will be scolded miserably.

So she can only carefully put it along the roadside, and she has to eat the weeds on the roadside within her controllable range. Wrap it around the back of your hand several times, so that if you are not careful, it will slip away.

Presumably there is also a reason why Xiang Nan didn't want to come to herd the cow.

Standing on the hillside not far away, Yan Chen suddenly saw the familiar slim figure squatting on the side of the road down the hill, she was digging herbs.

Recently, he has seen her digging herbs many times, sometimes with her sister, sometimes by herself, carrying a basket on her back, and every time she returned with a full load.

This time, she didn't forget to dig the herbs even when herding the cattle. Seeing her careful look at the old scalper after digging the herbs for a while, the corners of Yan Chen's mouth raised involuntarily.

It seemed that from the first time he saw her, he never saw her stop, either doing this kind of work or doing that kind of work, like a small top, which seemed to be spinning tirelessly forever.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, he has to support a family with his mother, and even become the pillar of the family. This kind of life is really different from his peers in the city, and even he has to Admire her hard work.

After grazing the cattle for more than an hour and digging the herbs for another hour, Xiang Jin knew that the time was almost up, so he picked up his backpack and went home.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't know that there was an acquaintance on the mountainside, and that person drew her and her cow into his painting.

Back home, Xiang Jin first took the cow to the cowshed and tied it up, and then asked Xiang Nan who had set up a small bench to draw under the eaves, "Have you finished all the things I told you?"

"Okay, okay," Xiang Nan said.

Xiang Jin put the bag under the eaves, and walked into the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up, telling her, "Go, spread out the herbs in the bag to dry."

"Oh," Xiang Nan reluctantly put down his pen and walked towards the basket full of herbs.

Not long after, Xiang Nan rushed in and complained, "Sister, why did you mix up all those herbs, and made me want to pick them?"

Xiang Jin was mixing soybeans coldly. Hearing what she said, he gave her an annoyed sideways glance, "I want to watch over the cows, prevent them from eating other people's crops, and gather herbs. Do you think it's easy for me? Can I pick them?" It’s good to have so many medicinal materials, but you’re still picking and choosing, saying that it’s salty, bland, and dry, and if you do that again, next time you go to herd cattle, I’ll cook at home.”

"Oh, forget it, forget it, I'll pick it up, can't I pick it up?" As soon as Xiang Nan heard that she was asked to herd cattle next time, she hurried to know the current affairs.

Then Xiang Jin called her back, "Wait, what's the matter with the few pumpkins and two wax gourds here? Grandpa and grandma brought us vegetables again."

Xiang Nan said, "Oh, no, Grandma Mo gave it to us back then."

"Grandma Mo?" Xiang Jin was startled, a little surprised.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Yes."

"Okay, then you go out!"
