The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 61
Mrs. Zhou looked at Qingguo.

Qingguo raised her head and said to Mrs. Zhou with a smile: "Auntie, you came just in time. I have something to go to you."

"Auntie, you came just in time. I have something to go to see you."

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Zhou looked at Qingguo suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"Come in and talk."

Qingguo let Zhou Shi into the room with a smile.

When Mrs. Zhou sat down, Qingguo grabbed fried peanuts and put them on the table, and asked Mrs. Zhou to eat them.

At this time, peanuts are not a snack that every household has. Zhou just peeled two symbolically and didn't move any more. He looked at the green fruit.

Qingguo smiled, looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Auntie, there is a restaurant that buys our sour taro sticks, and they ask for a lot. I don't have enough of my own. Auntie, can you sell me your taro sticks? "

"sure!"

Because Zhou's parents-in-law have passed away, there are few people and a lot of land. Her family is one of the few pig raising families in the village, but even if they raise pigs, a lot of taro stalks are thrown away in the field every year.Now that the waste from previous years can be exchanged for a few dollars, I am naturally happy!
"Guo'er, even if you don't give money, you can take it for nothing!" Zhou said with a smile.

Qingguo really admires Zhou's emotional intelligence. Speaking of which, it's really funny. Those people in the old house are obviously relatives connected by blood, but they treat their family like enemies. On the contrary, they are people who have no blood relationship. , treat them kindly.

"That's impossible!" Qingguo looked at Mrs. Zhou with a smile and said, "I'm selling it for money, and I won't pay if there's too much. Look, I'll give you one penny and three catties, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Zhou said yes three times in a row, "Auntie said, you can take it for nothing, let alone a penny and three catties!"

Luo Xingzu on the side looked at Guo'er, then at the cheerful Zhou family, and finally sighed secretly, picked up the dry tobacco on the side and smoked it.

Qingguo had no time to pay attention to Luo Xingzu's glassy heart, she was thinking about the first batch of goods that would be handed over to shopkeeper Gao in ten days.

"Auntie, the field is not busy now. Look, you can help us tomorrow. After the bill is settled, I will calculate the wages for you." Qing Guo said.

"Hey, what about wages? Auntie is also idle when she is idle." Mrs. Zhou said hastily.

Qingguo shook her head, "I can't ask you to work hard for nothing, it's settled like this, Aunt Ming'er, come and help us, and it will be calculated as three Wen a day, do you think it will work?"

In this day and age, a strong laborer can only earn [-] yuan if he is lucky for a month. Although Qingguo's three renminbi is not high, it does not affect the life of Zhou's own family. Shi is naturally very happy.This is more cost-effective than selling embroidery in shops!
"Okay, okay, okay." Mrs. Zhou said three more words in a row.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Zhou sat for a while and then went back.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou left, Qingguo cleaned up and was about to go to sleep when Luo Xingzu spoke.

"Guoer, in fact, you can ask your old aunt to help. It costs three pennies a day. If your grandma finds out about it, you will definitely have to quarrel." Although Luo Xingzu spoke lightly, the meaning between the words was very straightforward.

There is an old saying that fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, but Qingguo's approach is completely using her own family as a thieves defense!Don't buy materials from your own family, hire workers and don't hire your own family, let Chen know, can she speak well?
Qingguo twitched her lips, and said to Luo Xingzu with a smile, "Father, can my old aunt wash a bowl or cook a meal? Ask her to help? Are you planning to invite a Bodhisattva to offer you?" Bar?"

"But..." Luo Xingzu wanted to say more.

Qingguo waved her hand, "Father, you don't need to say any more, you can ask my brother and sister if you would like Aunt Zhou to help or our old aunt."

Before Luo Xingzu could speak, Luo Qingping and Luo Xiaojiang had already shouted in unison.

"We want Aunt Zhou, not Old Gu."

There was silence in the room, and the next moment, Qingguo let out a "puchi" laugh.

A ray of pale moonlight quietly slipped in through the crack of the window, Qing Guo looked at the moonlight, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

the next day.

Mrs. Lin chopped all the taro stalks from the field back home, but there was still a lot missing, so Mrs. Zhou asked Luo Fuxing to go to his own farm to chop up enough taro stalks without saying anything.

"Guo'er, what should we do if we don't have such a big water tank?" Qingping whispered to Qingguo.

A weight of one hundred catties is naturally not something that a small vat or pot can handle, so it's no wonder that Qingping is worried.

Qingguo threw away the work in hand, raised her finger to the large water tank made of stone under the eaves in the northwest to catch rainwater, and said to Qingping: "Isn't this our big water tank?"

"That..." Qingping didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she nodded and said, "Well, this water tank is really big enough, I guess it can hold more than a hundred catties!"

"Then let's clean it up."

The two sisters did what they said, and immediately went to clean up the big water tank.

Such a big commotion in the Luo family naturally attracted people from the village to watch.

"Osmanthus, what are you doing?"

It was Luo Jinxi's mother, Jin's, who asked the question.

Lin raised her head and glanced at Jin, and said softly, "Why don't you do it, let's make some food."

"Hey, can this taro stick be used for food?" Jin walked in while talking, stepped down beside Lin, kicked the old skin and tender core piled on the ground, and said to Lin: "Osmanthus fragrans, Tell me honestly, are you making the thing that Guoer gave us as compensation last time?"

Lin nodded, not daring to stop at all.

"Hey, sweet-scented osmanthus, teach me." Mrs. Jin poked Mrs. Lin with her hand, and said, "It's so delicious. My family's taro sticks can't be fed to pigs."

This Jin's... Qingguo rolled her eyes and was about to speak, but she didn't want Zhou to speak at this time.

"Jin Xi's mother, this is out of question."

"Why can't I ask?" Mrs. Jin frowned and said to Mrs. Zhou: "They all belong to the folks in the village, and they are just for eating. Why..."

"The Osmanthus family made an agreement with the boss of Renshalou, and sell the finished sour taro sticks to their family, but the boss also said that this practice cannot be spread to the outside world!" Zhou said leisurely.

Zhou's EQ once again made Qingguo look very different. If there were not too many people around, Qingguo would have rushed to hug Zhou and give her a kiss, expressing her sincere gratitude.

"Oh, can this thing be sold for money?" Jin said to Zhou, but looked at Lin.

Mrs. Lin nodded, "Well, it's agreed, one hundred catties will be supplied for ten days, and one catty will cost one penny."
