After Wei Yangfan and Xiao Xi left, Grandma Liang looked at the gifts lying on the ground and said to Liang Xiaonan: "How do you know such a big shot?"
Liang Xiaonan recounted the incident of rescuing Zhou Weiyu at the Yuxian Hotel and explained: "I didn't think about asking him to repay him. I had forgotten about it. I didn't expect them to still remember it."
"Xiaonan, I originally thought you were ignorant. People came from far away and you didn't even give them a drink. Now I know that Xiaonan is a good boy. We don't ask for repayment when we save people, and we don't covet wealth."
"You and Zhou Yan will live a good life from now on. Although he is in the countryside, he looks smart and is not as lazy as the rumors say. He is also very kind to you and reliable."
Grandma babbled for a while, and Liang Xiaonan giggled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Grandma is afraid that I will dislike Zhou Yan because of Wei Yangfan's ability? Did Zhou Yan buy you off so quickly?"
"You kid, what do you call bribery? I can tell that kid is really kind to you. Such a person can be trusted for the rest of his life."
"Don't worry, grandma. Why did I drive them away and not even give them dinner? This guy named Wei, and the original Zhou Weiyu, they all look like big shots. I don't want to turn my rescue into a clinging mission.
I won’t climb anyone’s ladder, because I am a noble person!”
Grandma Liang also laughed: "Look what you can do."
"Ha, grandma, hurry up and cook. I'm starving. Let's stew rabbit meat?"
I left two chickens and two rabbits, and gave half of them to the Xiao family. I also had a rabbit and a chicken at home, so it would be too much to eat.
Early the next morning, when she got up, she heard Grandma Liang say: "Tie Zhu, thank you for your hard work."
It turned out that Xiao Tiezhu and Da Niu came over carrying a large bundle of wood and branches, and Mrs. Zhao also came over carrying a large basket of corn and sweet potatoes.
Now that there is no gas, we have to burn firewood to make a fire. If we don't have it, we have to go to the mountains to pick it up and chop it, which requires strength. Liang Xiaonan will chop a bundle when she has time, but she has been tossing fish and wormwood during this time and forgot to chop wood.
"Uncle Xiao, a friend came yesterday and brought two packages of noodles. You can take one package, so grandma and I won't have to make a trip."
In this era of lack of food and clothing, there is no more precious gift than a pack of dried noodles. Moreover, the dried noodles now are truly natural, pollution-free, and handmade, and only patients are willing to eat them. When cooked, the fragrance is overflowing.
Even without eating vegetables, I can drink a big bowl of soup and noodles.
Xiao Tiezhu and Zhao didn't want it anyway, it was too expensive.
Grandma Liang said: "Don't be polite to our two families. The children work very hard. A pack of noodles is nothing. Let the children have a try."
Mrs. Zhao gratefully accepted the noodles, and when she left the house, she and Xiao Tiezhu were all smiling. Ms. Zhao said sincerely: "From now on, we will focus on the Liang family's work first, and then we will do our work after finishing theirs."
They only have a little energy left to repay.
Liang Xiaonan made an appointment with Zhou Yan to come to the mountain to dig mulberry saplings today. She would go to the mountain to dig mulberry saplings to show off while Zhou Yan was away. Otherwise, it would be difficult to hide high-quality mulberry saplings from the space later.
I drank some porridge, ate two pancakes, carried a shovel, and said to Grandma Liang: "Grandma, I'm going to dig mulberry saplings."
Grandma Liang grabbed her and said, "Xiaonan, let me tell you something. From now on, you go up and down the mountains and fields, avoid those graves and tombs of the dead, and don't work at night."
Liang Xiaonan saw the nervousness and fear on her face and asked quickly what happened?
Grandma Liang said that Wang Cuiying was bitten by a ghost and had a stomach stuffed with mud. Liang Chuanzi said that she howled at home last night, kept shouting that there was a ghost, and said that the ghost wanted to eat her.
Liang Xiaonan retold the story told by Chen Xinggui with added detail. After being processed several times by the villagers, the story had become a story with a nose and eyes, and even the ghost had a "pale complexion and a tongue over two feet long."
Liang Xiaonan was stunned, is there a ghost?
Maybe there really is a ghost. Didn't she just walk through it?
But ghosts can whip people? There is something fishy about this.
She hurried to the mountain, and met Er Lengzi at the foot of the mountain. He said excitedly: "Liang Xiaonan, I'm here to work. My mother has recovered from her illness, and I can work for you."
"Okay, you can help Xiaobei."
Liang Xiaonan watched him go to find Liang Xiaobei, so she pulled away and hurried up the mountain. She was so strong that she quickly dug up the mulberry saplings on the slope of the pond one by one. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely.
After enough pretense, she immediately dumped thousands of mulberry saplings from the space, and then carried a large bundle down the mountain.
As soon as Hantan showed up, she immediately added more mulberry seedlings, bent her waist like a prawn, and carried them to the roadside.
The second fool saw it and hurried over to help. The second fool looked at the sapling, which weighed only a few hundred kilograms, and swallowed secretly. Liang Xiaonan was so strong!
I didn't trample him to death some time ago. I was really showing mercy.
"Sister, I'll carry it."
"Xiaonan, let me carry it!"
Liang Xiaobei just went home to have breakfast. When he came back, he saw his sister carrying such a big bundle. He insisted on carrying it together, and the second idiot also asked to carry the saplings.
Where would Liang Xiaonan ask them to go? If they go, it will affect her cheating.
"You go home and pull the trolley, Erluzi, keep an eye on the fish pond." Liang Xiaonan went up the mountain again without waiting for them to reply. Liang Xiaobei and Erluzi saw that she was walking very fast and disappeared in an instant.
In fact, Liang Xiaonan just ran to show them. As soon as she left their sight, she slowly walked down the mountain. When they were not paying attention, she dumped a pile of mulberry saplings from the space to the roadside.
It gives the impression that she moves up and down the mountain very quickly and carries a lot.
By the time Zhou Yan and Ergouzi and a group of brothers drove over in an ox cart, Liang Xiaonan had already "moved" thousands of mulberry saplings down from the mountain.
Zhou Yan was heartbroken, but he couldn't bear to blame her. He just said, "Why are you so impatient? There are so many men among us, but it's not your turn to work so hard!"
Ergouzi also said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to do it. If you have something to do in the future, just ask us brothers to do it."
Liang Xiaobei frowned and said: "My sister is not married yet, so don't call me sister-in-law. You can call me sister by name."
Ergouzi said: "Isn't this a matter of time? Brother Zhou won't marry anyone else. My sister-in-law will only be Brother Zhou in this life, right?"
Zhou Yan looked at Liang Xiaonan and just smiled. Liang Xiaonan's face felt a little hot and he changed the topic and said, "There are still a lot of mulberry saplings on the mountain. You guys can move them. I can't move them anymore."
Wang Xi and Eight-year-old Mao followed Zhou Yan and had enough to eat. They were energetic and smart, so they immediately went up the mountain to carry it.
Zhou Yan didn't go either, just looking at Liang Xiaonan.
"What do you think I'm doing? Why don't you go to work?" Liang Xiaonan was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him. There are so many people here!
Zhou Yan said: "Last night I heard that some wealthy people in the city came to see you?"
Rich people? You mean Xiao Xi and Wei Yangfan, right?
"You mean them? It's Zhou Weiyu's cousin who came to thank me and gave me some fruits and noodles."
"Didn't you tell them to go back?" When Wang Heming came over yesterday morning, he made it clear to him. Why did he come to his door again?
"You don't care whether he comes or not. He wants to thank me. Just take the gift and that's it. Anyway, I didn't give him dinner. If they leave, we won't have anything to do with him anymore."
As soon as they said this, they heard the beep beep beep of a car horn on the road. They turned to look. On the path outside the bushes, a jeep stopped and two people got out of the car.
