The two work together to lift the box and place it on the trolley.
"The boss sold me a big bag of salt."
In this way, she pushed the cart back to Lao Yang's house.
His disciples were eating, and they were really surprised to be able to eat meatloaf today.
Lao Yang looked at the locked box and knew that the girl had been bought. This was good.
It's not safe for a little girl to keep so much money. It's better to just buy things and hide them. These will definitely be a lot of money in the future.
"Uncle Yang, prepare two more big iron pots for me, as well as kitchen knives, scissors and so on."
“Isn’t this thing always available?”
Su Yuanyuan just smiled and said nothing.
Lao Yang rolled his eyes and had a plan in mind.
"Girl, when shall we set off?"
"Uncle Yang, why don't you wait until evening to get home?"
It was too conspicuous in broad daylight. Also, if Lao Yang said he wanted to go to the mountain to take a look, it would be difficult to explain. After a few days, even if he looked again, he would probably think that there were no traces.
"It's going to snow." Lao Yang looked up at the sky.
"It's better to stop, I still want to chop wood?"
"No firewood?"
"Yes, are you afraid of this thing?"
"It's okay. I'll go back today and bring back a few bags of coal and coal noodles."
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "It's no use. There's no stove. I don't know if other people's homes have one, so I don't know if they can build a stove."
"It's okay. I'll bring back a metal stove, but it's dangerous to use it at night. It's prone to gas poisoning."
Lao Yang took Su Yuanyuan to install an iron stove, several chimney sections, several bags of lump coal, flour coal, and honeycomb briquettes, so that the car was full.
I also took two scissors, kitchen knives, sickles, hatchets, and axes.
"Uncle Yang, how much does this cost?"
"Just give me sixty?"
"enough?"
Lao Yang smiled and nodded.
At four o'clock, it was almost dark, and Lao Yang, his two apprentices, and Su Yuanyuan drove away together.
It was already six o'clock when we arrived at the door of Su Yuanyuan's house. We drove the carriage directly to the yard.
Lao Yang directed his two apprentices to carry all the things the girl bought into the house where she lived.
Su Yuanyuan had already released all sixteen of them. Fortunately, there was a curtain.
The coal was placed directly in the woodshed. It was already dark by this time.
Lao Yang opened the door curtain and looked at what was on the ground. It felt so spectacular.
His two apprentices were even more frightened, but no one said anything.
After an hour, I finally installed everything.
Lao Yang asked his two apprentices to cover it with tarpaulin. He went into the house and gave Su Yuanyuan money.
"A total of two thousand seven hundred and twenty."
"Uncle Yang, I'll take two thousand."
Lao Yang shook his head. "Don't worry, they will give me ten yuan for each one."
"That's too little."
Lao Yang shook his head, "That's quite a lot. Girl, I'm leaving."
Su Yuanyuan wanted to give Lao Yang five hundred yuan, but he didn't want it at all.
After seeing off the three masters and apprentices, Su Yuanyuan started to light the fire.
I was so excited. Good guy, I just picked up more than two thousand yuan for nothing. No, I will still go up the mountain tomorrow.
I went back to the house and put everything I bought today into the space. I also put away the iron stove, which should be donated soon. This is too conspicuous.
I drank a bowl of porridge and waited until the kang was warm before lying down to sleep.
I had sweet dreams all night, so I felt very good when I woke up the next day.
Snowflakes were already falling outside. Su Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that she traveled through time on this day last year. Has it been a year?
When I returned to the house, while working, I thought about what I did when I first arrived here last year.
After feeding the sheep and stuffing them with sweet potato seedlings, they carried the basket up the mountain.
Today may be the last time I go up the mountain this year. If the snow falls heavily, it will be dangerous to go up the mountain.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and when they reached the mountainside, Su Yuanyuan turned around and came down.
From a distance, I saw Hu Chunhua and his wife at the door.
"Auntie, I'm here."
Hu Chunhua scolded Su Yuanyuan, "What are you doing out in this snowy day? Are you still thinking about going up the mountain?"
"We came down halfway up the mountain. Hurry up and get inside."
The two ladies are here to make shoes with Su Yuanyuan.
"Auntie, you get on the kang first, and I'll light the fire.
Sister, do you eat Japanese melon?"
"eat."
Su Yuanyuan filled it with thick wood so that it could be burned slowly.
"Girl, your life is really getting better and better."
"Auntie, I'm not lazy either. I will definitely be able to live a good life."
The three of them sat on the kang and collected their shoe soles, "Yuanyuan, I heard that a carriage came to your house yesterday?"
Someone still saw it.
"Yes, he is the blacksmith in the county town. I sold the corn to him."
The food has been put away. That's fine to say, but sometimes you have to lie.
"All sold?"
"No, I have left a thousand catties. I will continue to raise pigs next year."
"By the way, the Peilin family will kill pigs the day after tomorrow. I heard that they haven't decided how many they will do this year."
"How much will it cost this year?"
"Fifty cents a pound, lean meat 40 cents."
"Then I'll buy some."
"You didn't keep any meat for yourself?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I'll buy some more."
"You're stupid, your pigs are so fat. They are the best fat meat, why did you sell them all?"
Su Yuanyuan just laughed, thinking that keeping the money would not be of much use, so she might as well keep it for food instead.
"Don't buy it. I'll give it to you when my family kills the pig."
"Aunt, but goodbye, you'd better save money quickly and save it to fight the famine."
"It's okay, my brother's family doesn't need any money now."
Su Yuanyuan knew that this was what Hu Chunhua said. As an honest family, how could they be responsible for the famine? She was not necessarily worried.
"Auntie, after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, we will go fishing and try to help you clear up the famine before the end of the year."
Hu Chunhua smiled and nodded, "No, your uncle said he would be waiting for you. You are lucky. Last year, your uncle and we went to the reservoir again, but we didn't catch a single fish all night."
"God has mercy on me," Su Yuanyuan said jokingly.
"Really? At that time, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to survive.
Yuanyuan, there is news about your parents. I heard that our village was separated when we got there. Daqiang wrote home and said that your parents were not with them. I heard that your mother was not doing well.
I almost got arrested when I tried to come back."
Su Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you say you are a regular employee?"
"Yes, but I have settled there. It is under construction now, and I have to work and farm every day.
I heard what Daqiang’s family said, and everyone regretted going together. It’s cold over there, much colder than here. And we didn’t harvest much food.”
