Chapter 67

"I made new hawthorn slices. You and grandma have a try. It has the effect of appetizing and eliminating food."

As he said that, Zhong Xixi took more than 20 slices, "I'll make a little today, and I'll make more someday, and I'll give you some more. If grandma likes to eat, just tell me."

He Quhao came in with something, with a look of novelty on his face, this girl can still do this?
It's really amazing!
As soon as I entered the door, I heard grandma's voice.

"I'm back, help me lead a line!"

He Quhao walked over and put the hawthorn slices aside.

Grandma He smelled a sweet and sour smell, and then saw the red thing on the plate.

"Isn't Miss Zhong asking you to give me something again?"

"Well, Zhong Xixi said it was hawthorn jelly, which is for digestion, and said it can be eaten as a snack."

He Quhao grabbed a piece and gave the rest to his grandmother.

The grandpa and grandson took a sip each, their eyes flickering.

"Is this hawthorn slice so sweet? Miss Zhong is really capable. It takes a lot of sugar to make this stuff, right?"

"I don't know, she went to the black market to exchange it with someone."

He Quhao said without changing his face, but his eyes darkened a little.

Ah Yan sent him a letter yesterday, asking him to help find out where the goods in Zhong Xixi's hand came from.

Ah Yan's group of boys still booed, saying that the boss is not interesting enough, hiding something.

When He Quhao saw the news, he knew that Zhong Xixi had a secret.

However, since it is a secret, he will not go to find out.

As long as Zhong Xixi is safe, that's fine, but... a gentleman is guilty of committing crimes, whether it's on the black market or in the village, if this news gets out, someone will inevitably make up his mind.

He couldn't follow Zhong Xixi all the time, so he had to find a time to remind her.

"That girl doesn't have a big heart. How can she take out such a precious thing casually? If someone treats her better, she will give her heart and soul. It will inevitably cause some pink eyes."

The grandparents and grandsons have a tacit understanding, and they both thought of this.

Grandma He reminded He Quhao, who nodded knowingly.

After Zhong Xixi finished making the hawthorn slices, she was so tired that she was about to fall apart, so she went to bed early.

As a result, Zhong Mumu called out before dawn.

"Sister, I'll go touch the loach with you. There are a lot of loaches here. You can be sure if you touch it. I want to eat loach!"

Zhong Xixi turned over, this brother can't be taken anymore!
Zhong Mumu was still chattering in good spirits, "Sister, get up, get up, get up..."

Until all Zhong Xixi's sleepy bugs were driven away.

I had no choice but to get up, and crawled through the broken hair on the top of my forehead.

"Go, go, stop calling!!"

Could this younger brother of hers be the reincarnation of Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie?
So, early in the morning, the two sisters and younger brothers carried buckets, touched a little white belly in the sky, ran to catch loaches, and saw He Quhao's figure when they looked up.

"Why are you here?"

Zhong Xixi was surprised.

Is this man hunting in the mountains so early in the morning?

"I'm here to do the laundry. This is where you are?"

He Quhao was a little surprised when he saw the two of them, but soon the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Looking at the basin of clothes beside him, Zhong Xixi nodded with emotion.

This He Quhao is really a good man in the new society, he is afraid that grandma will be tired, so he came here to do laundry early in the morning.

"Dig loach, do you want to dig, I will take you with me."

Zhong Xixi put her waist in, smiling gently and comfortably.

Don't reject the coolies that come to your door for nothing.

So He Quhao was directly regarded as a strong man.

The three of them were very busy.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the loach was hidden deep and hard to touch, so the three decided to go back home.

Zhong Mumu walked in the front carrying the bucket, grinning at the loach inside the bucket and laughing.

So much, enough for him to eat, no one should shoot him this time.

He Quhao thought about what his grandma said to him yesterday, looked down at Zhong Xixi who was walking beside him, and then spoke.

"If you go to the black market in the future, do you plan to sell a lot of things?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the word "black market", Zhong Xixi blinked.

He Quhao continued, "If you sell a lot of things, you can rent a small warehouse in the black market at that time, which will save you the hard work of running on both sides."

The more he listened, Zhong Xixi felt more and more something was wrong.

This He Quhao didn't know something, did he?

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, and then he pretended to be fine, and tentatively said.

"Well, it's very convenient. I just don't know if the warehouse rent is expensive. If it's not expensive, I can rent one so that they can send the goods over there..."

Babbling on and on, Zhong Xixi tried to lie as much as possible.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, He Quhao has never asked who the supplier "they" is.

Just listened quietly, echoing a few words from time to time.

In the end, the topic of the two people didn't know where to go.

When passing by the farmland, Zhong Xixi stopped, squatted down, and inspected the rice seedlings.

"It's almost autumn harvest, if this problem is not solved, everyone probably won't be able to sleep well at night."

This autumn harvest, if there is no grain harvest, the performance of the entire commune will be at the bottom, and when the public grain is handed in, it is not certain whether there will be enough food left over.

Bai Wansheng asked her to go to the town today, wondering if there was any good news to bring back.

"Don't worry, there will always be a solution."

He Quhao comforted, seeing Zhong Xixi's frowning face, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and then said, "The people in the village treat you like that, do you still think about them?"

What a fool.

Zhong Xixi raised her head, and after hearing clearly what He Quhao said, she burst into laughter immediately.

"Little comrade, your ideological awareness is not very high. How can you elevate personal grievances to collective interests?" The most important thing is that if this insect plague cannot be solved, so many people will be hungry, and only their family is the big one. If you are a big fish, wouldn't that make you miss it?

"you're right."

He Quhao suddenly understood Zhong Xixi's thoughts, and was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the girl's image immediately grew taller.

It seems that I have to talk to the old urchin at the agricultural institute about this matter.

Zhong Xixi and He Quhao had their own concerns, and they went home one after the other.

Zhong Mumu didn't say much along the way, but when he got home, his little mouth started talking.

"Sister, I found out, you and Brother He seem to have a good understanding, are you dating?"

"Drop? Mu Mu, you already know who you are at a young age?"

At such a young age, knowing so much, he might be a Neptune when he grows up.

Zhong Xixi poked Zhong Mumu's little head, dumbfounded.

However, she and He Quhao? ?
Zhong Xixi's heart trembled.
