Eighty Rough Village Flower: Three sentences to win the most handsome educated youth

Chapter 17: New Ways to Make Money
"It was dropped at the beginning of the year, but now it's gone." Chu Ming saw Chu Jiaojiao's thoughts, and said regretfully, "It will only be at the beginning of next year, and we don't have that much money now."

Chu Jiaojiao nodded, thinking that Lin Chen's leg injury was a big deal, and the most important thing was to save money to heal Lin Chen's leg first.

No matter how much you think about the future, the key point is to heal Lin Chen's leg first.

And the corn will be harvested immediately, and after the corn is harvested, the wheat will be planted again.

No wheat seeds have been found yet.

To buy wheat seeds, there are no pesticides or fertilizers at this time, and the yield of wheat is not high, and the yield per mu is definitely not a thousand catties.

To be able to produce five hundred catties per mu is already very exciting.

Chu Jiaojiao started to have a headache again, money is too tight, she still needs to get more food tomorrow.

At night, Chu Jiaojiao started to deal with the Jerusalem artichokes that Chu Ming and Chu Liang had dug up during the day, while Lin Chen and Chu Ming were still reading under the kerosene lamp.

Chu Tian and Chu Liang were still weaving baskets.

A few people seem to have seen hope, they are very motivated, and they all feel that life is getting better and better.

Chu Jiaojiao washed all the Jerusalem artichokes, put them in a dustpan, and planned to dry them in the shade.

In the early morning of the next day, she boiled the water for pickling Jerusalem artichokes.

There was no pig offal to be treated tonight. After Chu Jiaojiao finished processing the Jerusalem artichoke, she sat next to Chu Tian and Chu Liang and started weaving baskets together.

Suddenly, Chu Liang asked Chu Jiaojiao with a smile.

"Does Jiaojiao want to eat persimmons?"

Chu Jiaojiao was taken aback: "Persimmon?"

"Yes, some persimmons are already ripening now. Wait for a while, and they will become more ripe, sweeter and more delicious." Chu Tian said with a simple and honest smile.

Chu Liang nodded, and the movement of his hands did not stop.

"It's just that the persimmon tastes sticky, and it's dirty every time I eat it."

Big men like them don't like to eat such sweet things, not to mention, it's awkward to eat them uncleanly.

They are all big men, not women.

Women are greedy, there is nothing to say.

But a white light flashed in Chu Jiaojiao's mind, and she suddenly remembered.

When she was a cook, she felt very tired for a while, so she found time to rest for a while. At that time, she traveled to a small town in the south and happened to eat another kind of persimmon.

"Tomorrow we'll pick some!" Chu Jiaojiao said excitedly.

When the persimmon is fully ripe, the flesh is soft, like water, and sweet, especially the layer of flesh wrapped around the ripe seeds in the persimmon, which is like crisp jelly flesh.

But persimmons are difficult to store. In the north, they can only pick persimmons when they are ripe, eat them up, or make persimmons.

The production of persimmons is not easy. Both the drying environment and the production time are very long.

For Chu Jiaojiao, all of this was a waste of time and cost.

She plans to try another way.

"Okay, I know you like to eat." Chu Liang laughed. He put down the baskets he was weaving, went to the yard, picked out a very long bamboo pole, found a net bag, passed it through with wire, and made it into a basket. I picked up a net bag like a butterfly.

Chu Jiaojiao looked at him and asked, "Third brother, what are you doing?"

"I'll get you a bag for picking persimmons tomorrow." Chu Liang said bluntly.

The persimmon tree is tall, and when autumn comes, the leaves on the tree are almost gone, leaving only bare branches with heavy, bright yellow fruits hanging on the branches.

Because the branches are too high, generally speaking, the lower ones are easier to pick, and the upper ones cannot be picked at all.

However, people are not greedy, they just let the birds eat the persimmons on them, and then take the seeds to farther places, so that in the coming year, small persimmon trees will start to grow on this land.

There wasn't much to do that night, and Chu Jiaojiao and Lin Chen didn't sleep well during the day because they stayed up late the night before, so they were going to bed early at night.

As soon as the kerosene lamp is extinguished, everything is quiet.

Lin Chen and Chu Jiaojiao slept in a corner of the kang, separated by the ends of the earth, and no one disturbed the other.

Chu Jiaojiao has been busy working all day, and her energy has long been exhausted, and she began to feel a little drowsy.

But Lin Chen on the side may be because he drank alcohol today, even after taking a shower, he still smelled like alcohol.

It made Chu Jiaojiao unable to fall asleep, she wanted to turn over, but she was afraid that the movement of this body was too loud, which would attract Lin Chen's attention.

But it was too difficult to not turn over and fall asleep.

"Chu Jiaojiao."

In the darkness, Lin Chen's voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Jiaojiao immediately froze, and said tremblingly: "Ah? What... what's wrong?"

Lin Chen looked sideways at her: "Are you really going to show me my legs?"

"Yeah... that's right." Chu Jiaojiao was so sleepy, her mind was like mud, knowing that Lin Chen still didn't believe her, "Don't worry, I'll definitely show you your legs."

She was so dazed that she still remembered her infatuated persona.

"I like you so much, how could I be willing to make you a cripple."

When she said this, she was almost asleep. Her voice was very low and soft, but it was very obvious in the quiet and peaceful night.

Lin Chen felt warm in his heart, he couldn't explain why this feeling came from, but when his eyes fell on Chu Jiaojiao, he was very gentle.

"At least five or six yuan." Lin Chen whispered, "And it may not be cured well."

Chu Jiaojiao almost knew the flow of the whole story, she turned over in a daze.

"It's cured well, we'll treat it for as much as it costs..." She yawned, her voice almost whispering, "You absolutely can't...you can't let your leg get to the root of the disease."

Just kidding, if the hero's legs have problems, she will always have to be careful of her own life in the future.

Lin Chen's eyes flickered, and when Chu Jiaojiao's voice became calmer, he smiled and closed his eyes.

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Chu Jiaojiao had already got up.

She got up together, and Lin Chen also woke up.

"Sleep a little longer." Chu Jiaojiao said to Lin Chen, "I'll get up and go for a run, and when I get back, I'll start stirring the jelly and marinating the Jerusalem artichoke by the way."

Lin Chen had already sat up, he didn't intend to sleep, but his brows were slightly frowned: "Run around?"

"Yes, run." Chu Jiaojiao tied up her hair and smiled at him, "I can't lose my body without running."

Lin Chen frowned slightly, watching Chu Jiaojiao go out the door briskly, he thought for a moment, and then got up too.

When Chu Jiaojiao came back from running around, her body was already covered in sweat, and she felt much lighter.

She fetched water to wash her face, then brushed her teeth, and then went to work in the kitchen.

There are not so many things today, she just stirred the jelly and pickled the Jerusalem artichoke by the way.

She didn't follow when they went out of the stall yesterday. Today, the three brothers of the Chu family were about to start harvesting corn, and there was no time to go out of the stall, so Chu Jiaojiao took the initiative to take on the important task.
