Chapter 265 Chapter 265: Wild Sweet Potato
With so many new people recruited into the workshop, Xu Yinyin could not feel completely at ease all of a sudden.
So I came back to the village and planned to keep an eye on them for a few days. They were all newbies and had to learn everything from scratch. Now there was a lot of goods and there was a rush. There couldn't be any trouble. She was in charge personally, and she couldn't do anything.
Be more at ease.
The weather is too hot, and it is difficult to go back and forth to the city every day. It is more convenient to live back in the village.
But Xu Yinyin was used to living in the city, and living in this stone house again was somewhat unaccustomed. Linglong, who followed her back, knew her girl's habits, and was very considerate of her. She was busy tidying up and decorating the house.
There were flower-and-bird mosquito nets, mats and thin quilts, and incense boxes placed in the room for incense. In addition, the nights in the countryside were much cooler than in the city, so Xu Yinyin lived quite well.
Although there were a lot of mosquitoes, it was okay after using mosquito repellent and hanging a mosquito net.
With half the number of workers, there was a lot more food to cook every day. Xu Yinyin asked Zhou to select two more women from the village to help.
In addition to cooking, several pots of mung bean soup are cooked every day, which is served with mung bean soup at noon to relieve the heat. In addition, several pots of mint herbal tea are cooked in the afternoon for the workers to quench their thirst and relieve heat.
The boss treated him well, and the workers appreciated it and worked harder. The new workers who came in were very serious about their studies, and Xu Yinyin didn't have to worry too much.
After calculating the accounts, Xu Yinyin took Xixin with her to dig wild sweet potatoes in the back mountain while the sun was setting and it was cooler.
This small fruit that grows in the ground is fragrant and sweet, and it is the best snack for rural children in summer.
Xu Yinyin remembered that when she was a child in her previous life, when she was in her hometown, she and her friends would dig wild sweet potatoes all over the mountains and fields to eat during the summer vacation.
These wild sweet potatoes are delicious when dug up and eaten raw, and can also be made into jam. Now is the time when the wild sweet potatoes all over the mountains and fields are ripe.
Walking through the village, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but stop them when she saw the little kids running around and playing, "Do you want to earn some copper coins to buy candies?"
There was a group of children, including several children from the Zhou family and the Shi family. Everyone knew Xu Yinyin and knew that she was rich. Their mother worked in a workshop and received her monthly wages.
!
At that moment, everyone gathered around, the short ones were jumping, and they all looked at Xu Yinyin eagerly, "Think!"
"That's right. You all know wild sweet potatoes, right? You're just playing for fun anyway, so why not go dig wild sweet potatoes, sell them to me, and I'll give you a copper for every pound!" Xu Yinyin said softly.
As soon as the children heard that digging wild sweet potatoes could be sold for money, they excitedly ran towards the back hill.
But there was an exception for one boy. He lagged behind slowly, looking at Xu Yinyin frequently, but did not run away immediately like those children.
Xu Yinyin couldn't help but look at him twice and recognized that the boy was Goudan, Liu's son.
During the Chinese New Year, her father distributed sweets, but this guy was obviously not around, and in the end Mrs. Liu even brought people to make a scene.
When she visited later, she followed her mother and heard from Grandma Zheng who often lived in the village. She said that Mrs. Liu couldn't get along with the women in the village, and that this bitch had not been taught well.
, today I touch this house and tomorrow I touch another house, an egg or something, but I can’t even be scolded or beaten, that’s really annoying.
This time the workshop was recruiting workers, and Mrs. Liu came again. She knew Mrs. Liu's temperament, so she still didn't hire her.
Goudan is only a child of seven or eight years old. Xu Yinyin did not argue with him so much as a child. Seeing him looking at him frequently, she couldn't help but said: "What are you looking at me for? Why don't you dig wild sweet potatoes? You
If you dig it out, I will give you a pound or a copper plate."
She relies on her own efforts to make money. As long as he digs it, she will take it.
"You really take what I poached?"
Goudan raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His dirty paws instantly wiped his face with dirt. He looked like a little tabby cat. There were bubbles in his nostrils. It was indeed not good.
Likeable.
This kid also likes to sneak around, so it's no wonder he's not lovable.
Xu Yinyin thought that Mrs. Liu would bring up such a child and bring her up like this. It was really true.
Sometimes she is quite speechless about these things. She can't teach her children well, take care of her children well, and can't give her children a stable and good life.
She couldn't help but sighed, looked at Goudan and said, "I'll take it if you dig it."
Goudan rolled his eyes and started chasing those children.
Xu Yinyin lagged behind with Xixin, and arrived at the foot of the mountain leisurely. She saw about twenty children all over the slope with their buttocks sticking out and pulling wild sweet potato vines. The sun was setting, and all of them were sweating profusely on their faces.
It's dirty, but it makes people feel so cute and innocent.
She couldn't help but think of her childhood in her previous life. At that time, it was like this, climbing mountains and rivers, climbing trees and playing in the mud, and looking for gifts from nature all over the mountains and fields. There were a lot of things that could be eaten as snacks, and it didn't cost a fortune.
Divide money.
Not only does it cost nothing, but you can also make money. If you dig up the roots of Chinese toon, bitter mugwort, or wormwood, you can sell them at the market. There are people who specialize in collecting these. You can buy ice cream and ice cream for a few dollars, but that’s
The most motivated person is more satisfied and happy with just a few dollars than later earning thousands a month.
Xu Yinyin couldn't help but smile, rolled up her sleeves, and joined the team digging wild sweet potatoes.
The children saw that she had found a spot accurately and dug quickly, and suddenly they dug more than they did. They were afraid that she would not accept theirs when she had dug enough, so they worked hard and hurriedly.
Xu Yinyin dug a handful, packed it in a basket with banana leaves, and went to the river.
This river is flowing. Both Dahe Village and Xiaohe Village use water from this river. Xiaohe Village is upstream. The river flows non-stop all day long and is very clear.
Xu Yinyin drank some water, cleaned the wild sweet potatoes, sat on the grass by the river, and ate them one by one.
"Well, this is the taste, it's delicious!"
Xixin squatted next to her and ate several pills in a row. Then she noticed that her shoes were covered with mud and hurriedly said: "Girl, take off your shoes, and my slave will clean them for you."
Xu Yinyin glanced at the mud on the shoes, which couldn't be cleaned even by just washing them. "It's okay, just go back and change them and then wash them properly."
Xixin stared at the shoes. These shoes were specially made by her future uncle for the girl. They were studded with pearls. Now the pearls were stained with mud.
"Girl, why don't you wipe it first?"
Xu Yinyin has mysophobia, but she can tolerate the occasional dirty shoes, but Xixin has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For example, when I make new clothes for her, she always only wants orange. She always uses that big bowl for every meal, a full bowl, never too little, never too much. She always squats in the big bowl every morning and does not squat the rest of the time, etc.
etc.
Seeing her staring at the mud on the pearl, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but smile and took off her shoes.
Xixin got the shoes, and quickly went to the river to carefully wipe off the mud on the pearls. Then she wiped the mud on the edges of the shoes with tree leaves, and then took them back and put them on Xu Yinyin.
As soon as he put it on, Goudan ran over happily holding a bag of wild sweet potatoes.
