Because of Wang Cuiying's harmful plan, Liang Xiaobei's original happy mood completely disappeared.
Liang Xiaonan said: "What are you worried about? At worst, I will go to the city tomorrow to find Wang Youyang. He supports me in silkworm breeding. I am a commoner who takes the lead in agricultural production. How can they regard me as a bad person? Besides, our song
It stands up to scrutiny.”
"Sister, these things cannot be explained clearly."
"Why can't you explain clearly? Don't be afraid." Angry, she packed some supplies into the space and took her grandma and Xiaobei to the big city.
Mr. Xie gave her more than 3,000 yuan, and Zhou Yan gave her 2,666 yuan. She had saved so much money during this period, so her life was not too smooth.
She is really not afraid.
Back home, Grandma Liang said happily: "Xiaonan, Zhou Yan gave me a basket of lychees. Try it. I ate one. It's so sweet and delicious."
"Where are the others?"
"He didn't stop, put down the lychees and left."
These lychees were red, plump and very fresh. Liang Xiaonan liked lychees the most. He didn’t eat them for dinner. He ate more than a dozen one after another and asked Grandma Liang and Liang Xiaobei to eat them too.
There was too much to eat in a large basket, so she soaked the rest in the well water.
She installed two batteries into the desk lamp Zhou Yan gave her, turned on the switch, and the whole room became brightly lit.
Grandma Liang said: "This lamp is really good. It lights up like daytime. You can turn it off after lighting it for a while, which wastes electricity."
"Grandma, you buy things for use. Your eyes are broken, what are you doing with the money?" Liang Xiaonan was calculating accounts under the lamp, how much labor fees the Xiao family should receive during this period.
The Xiao family helped a lot by looking at the fish pond, digging potatoes, delivering potatoes, delivering fish, and planting potatoes. According to the originally agreed salary, they should be given 63 yuan.
Liang Xiaonan counted out 63 yuan, took out the two packets of sugar brought by Wang Heming, took out a packet, a few apples and oranges, and went to Xiao Hongyu's house.
The Xiao family hadn't finished dinner yet. Seeing Liang Xiaonan coming over, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pulled out a small chair for her to sit down, and then asked Xiao Hongyu to get a cattail fan to fan her. There were too many mosquitoes at night, so she had to eat in the yard with her legs on
There was a snapping sound on the body.
Liang Xiaonan said: "Madam, I have settled the accounts with you for this period of time. You can see if there are any omissions. If there are any omissions, you must tell me."
She calculated the accounts in detail for them. The Xiao family was polite, but in fact their ears were pricked and their minds were clear.
They found that not only did Liang Xiaonan not pay a penny less, but he also paid them 1 yuan a day for digging potatoes. Zhao and Xiao Tiezhu were very embarrassed.
"Just digging potatoes is included in the delivery. Otherwise, it only costs 1 yuan for a trip. How can it be so easy to make money? You can't take the money for digging potatoes!" Xiao Tiezhu said.
Liang Xiaonan said that it must be paid. As long as you work, you must be paid.
She had made up her mind that the money must be given to the Xiao family. If the Xiao family was well off, no one would want to exchange Xiao Hongyu for marriage.
After sitting at Xiao's house for a while, he stood up and left.
Mrs. Zhao and Xiao Hongyu sent her home in one fell swoop. They were so excited that they talked loudly and didn't want to lower their voices. They were so happy. After working for a month, Liang Xiaonan gave her 63 yuan and gifts.
Early the next morning, Xiao Hongyu came to Liang's house and brought a dung basket full of tender corn and a long pumpkin in her arms.
Grandma Liang said: "You break the corn when it's so tender? What a pity."
"It's a pity, my mother said I would give you a taste."
Liang Xiaonan and his family only had one acre of land. Except for a fish pond and a few acres of potatoes, they had no other food. They had to find other ways to eat.
Xiao Hongyu put down her things and left in a hurry. They had a lot of family members and a lot of work, so they had to get back to work quickly.
Liang Xiaonan said to Grandma Liang: "I saw a mulberry tree on the mountain yesterday with a lot of mulberries. It should be purple today. I have to go quickly to avoid being pecked by birds."
Grandma Liang said: "Shall I go picking with you?"
Liang Xiaonan thought that the road was okay, but the little mulberry saplings over there had to be seen by the old lady, otherwise she would think she was always making things with her bare hands.
"Okay, I'll carry the basket and go together."
Liang Xiaobei had gone to the fish pond early, and she took Grandma Liang up the mountain.
Grandma Liang's feet were small and she was still straddling a basket. The two of them walked very slowly. It took almost two hours to reach the pond. Liang Xiaonan thought to herself that she would never take Grandma Liang up the mountain again. It was such a waste of time.
Grandma Liang was excited and worried when she saw hundreds of mulberry trees by the pond: "Xiaonan, if this is seen by the villagers, you will have to strip all the leaves."
"So I want to transplant these trees and the seedlings below to Zhou Yan's fields."
Liang Xiaonan led Grandma Liang to the mulberry tree full of mulberries. Sure enough, the mulberry trees were ripe, densely packed, black and purple, smaller than what she had seen in her previous life, but the flesh was fresher and firmer.
Grandma Liang's hands were shaking with excitement and she kept saying: "So many, my God, so many, why are there so many knots?"
"Grandma, please eat some. It's a lot anyway."
Grandma Liang was reluctant to eat them, so she picked them and sold them for money and to visit relatives.
"What kind of relatives are you visiting? Eat!" Liang Xiaonan picked it and stuffed it into her mouth, "Try it quickly, it's sweet and sour, it's so delicious."
These mulberries are nourished by her spiritual spring liquid, and are definitely not comparable to those on the street.
Grandma Liang ate it and squinted her eyes happily: "It's so sweet and delicious."
In fact, Liang Xiaonan originally did not intend to bear fruit for the mulberry saplings. He just wanted to make mulberry leaves and grow leaves to raise silkworms. Therefore, these mulberry saplings grew quickly, but the crown of the tree was not particularly large. After picking all the mulberries, there was only half a basket, plus one basket.
Grandma Liang said: "Ask Xiaobei to deliver a basket to the Yang family, and I will go to the town to sell the rest."
"Grandma, if you want to sell mulberries, you can do it yourself. I won't go."
"You definitely can't go. How can a girl like you sell things on the street?" Grandma Liang said, "I'll go. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home."
There is no need for her to raise fish or grow potatoes. I want to make shoes for Liang Xiaonan and Liang Xiaobei. Her eyesight is dazzled and she cannot see the needle and thread. She can sell mulberries on the street. She can do this kind of light work.
Because Grandma Liang was following her, she did not go to see the ginseng seedlings. She and Grandma Liang picked mulberries and went down the mountain. They went to the fish pond first, left some for Liang Xiaobei, and told him to send the basket of mulberries to Nanfeng Town.
Daniel was pulling the last cart of potatoes, and Xiao Hongyu was helping him load them. When she saw Liang Xiaonan, she said, "You fool, you're so fucking stupid. Sometimes it's as cold as if you've been dropped into an ice cellar, and sometimes it's as hot as if you're in a furnace. It's been for several days. I'm so fast."
No more."
Grandma Liang was shocked: "Have you seen a doctor?"
"Look, there is no medicine! In the health center in the town, there are hundreds of people looking for trouble every day. They have no place to stand, and the medicine is gone. It is estimated that many people will die this year."
"So many people are pretending?" Liang Xiaonan knew that the scientific name of this disease was malaria, but she had never seen anyone suffering from this disease. In her previous life, it seemed that this disease had disappeared in China.
"Yes, I heard that there are so many people treating patients with ailments in the county hospitals. It is said that there is a concentrated outbreak. No medicine can be obtained. There is no medicine in any hospital! People with ailments every year, who would have thought that there would be a big outbreak this year!"
