"Well, my biggest wish now is to see you and Meier get married. Then it's time for me to leave." Meifen shook her head and said with infinite sadness.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You will get better." Zhao Xiner wiped her eyes, but she knew that these words were just comfort. The family was so poor that they couldn't afford any good nutrition to replenish her mother's body. She wanted to
You won't get better by taking herbs.
"Mom, sister, I'm back."
At this moment, Zhao Meier's voice came in from outside.
Then, Zhao Meier stumbled into the house, walking too fast and almost falling.
"Mei'er, look at your temper, you're so careless, what if you fall?" Zhao Xiner lectured, her mother was bedridden, and she became her mother's substitute for Zhao Mei'er.
Zhao Meier stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Sister, Meier won't dare to do it anymore."
"I'm not blaming you. We don't have a man in our family. What should mom and I do if something happens to you?" Zhao Xiner said distressedly.
When it came to business, Zhao Meier was happy and said: "Sister, the village chief has given away the money for mountain mushrooms!"
"Did it come out?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiner asked anxiously: "How much?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Meier's pretty face was filled with joy. She took out some money and handed it to her sister: "Sister, you picked 4 catties, Meier picked 3 catties, adding up to 7 catties, and sold it for a total of 105 yuan.
!”
"105? So much?" Zhao Xiner was shocked when she heard it and counted the money in her hands, "Hey, the amount of money is wrong."
When Zhao Meier heard this, her face turned pale. She thought the money was missing, and tears welled up in her eyes: "What's wrong, sister, is the money missing? It's my fault too. I didn't count it clearly at the time. What should I do?"
"Mei'er, don't cry, it's not less, but more." Zhao Xiner said hurriedly.
"Ah? It's too much?" Zhao Meier wiped her eyes, took it over and counted it, "It's really too much, why did you give me 140 yuan?"
"Is it possible that the village chief counted wrongly?" Zhao Xiner asked.
"I don't know. How about I ask the village chief?" Zhao Meier said nervously, "If the village chief finds out that he gave us more money, will he stop accepting our mountain mushrooms in the future?"
"I'll ask the village chief later if I have too much money to pay back to others." Zhao Xiner was also a little worried.
"Mei'er, Xin'er, what's wrong?" Zhao Meifen, who was lying on the bed, asked. Her two daughters ran away for the day yesterday and only came back during lunch. She didn't know what the two sisters were doing.
When their mother mentioned this matter, the two sisters talked about it.
"Can you make money picking mountain mushrooms?" Zhao Meifen said in shock.
"Yes, the folks have all received the money."
"Ye Qiu is really good. He was just a little kid before, but now he has grown up and become more successful. He can help the villagers make money." Zhao Meifen said with emotion, "You two sisters should follow Ye Qiu well, and the money will be refunded."
When you go back, you can't take advantage of others and make a small gain at a loss."
Zhao Meifen saw it very clearly.
The two sisters nodded and said happily: "The extra 35 yuan will be refunded. We still have 105 yuan left, which can be used to buy some nutritional supplements for mom."
"I can't take care of myself anymore. You can keep this money." Zhao Meifen shook her head and said without refusal.
The two sisters couldn't resist their mother, so they had to agree first. After washing their mother's face and feeding them breakfast, the two sisters went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with bamboo baskets on their backs.
The four braids beating up and down in the mountain wind are the most beautiful scenery.
…
Ye Qiu did not go up the mountain to pick mushrooms today, but stayed in the village.
After a whole day of work, the main line of the power grid in the village has almost been completed. The next step is to connect the electricity to each household and turn on the electricity meter.
Ye Qiu came to the place where a few gangsters worked. He put his hands behind his back, which seemed like a leader's inspection. Unfortunately, the migrant workers' clothes ruined the overall temperament. It looked like they were here to move bricks.
However, Xiao Qiang and others did not dare to underestimate Ye Qiu, they respected him like a ghost.
In Xiao Qiang’s words, he is simply the reincarnation of Brother Chun, a born king!
Have you ever seen a person who is so good at his hands that he can easily remove someone's arm and push it back again, as if it were a common occurrence?
Moreover, Ye Qiu is still a fierce man who can raise a wolf.
"Village chief, look, how are we doing at our work?" Xiao Qiang saw Ye Qiu coming and ran over quickly, looking at Ye Qiu flatteringly.
Ye Qiu looked at the power grid that a few people had set up and nodded. Although these people were gangsters, their skills were pretty good. At least they considered various dangerous situations, such as exposed wires to prevent children from touching them, rainy weather, etc.
All other aspects have been taken into consideration.
"It's not bad." Ye Qiu affirmed, "By the way, according to this progress, how many days will it take to complete the project?"
"This, there are still five or six days." Xiao Qiang thought for a while, and this is the fastest time that can be completed while ensuring quality. It almost minimizes sleeping time and eating time.
"It's been too long." Ye Qiu frowned.
"ah?"
When Xiao Qiang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his head. He just wanted to grit his teeth and stop talking for a day or two. The worst he could do was not sleep. Anyway, he slept in a straw hut, so he couldn't sleep well.
At this time, Ye Qiu said: "It will be completed in three days, but I won't make it too difficult for you. I will help you get the materials to the door of each house. You can complete the electric meter wiring as soon as possible."
"Three days?" Xiao Qiang was startled.
"What?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows, "If it can't be completed, do you know what will happen?"
"Okay, I'll do it." Xiao Qiang said with a bitter smile, thinking that you are threatening me like this, how can I not agree?
However, Ye Qiu did not embarrass them and moved the wire materials into the village for them.
Those cables, wires, and electricity meters are very heavy, weighing several thousand kilograms at least, so Xiao Qiang and the others have been piling the things at the end of the village until they need to use them, and they need several people to carry them here.
It's a huge waste of time.
But now that we have Ye Qiu, it's easy.
I saw Ye Qiu lifting a bundle of cables that required three people to lift with one hand, and then lifted another bundle of equally heavy cables with the other hand.
Then Ye Qiu easily grabbed the cable and ran into the village.
Not long after, Ye Qiu ran back again, doing the same thing, with a relaxed look on his face. He came several times in a row without feeling out of breath.
In just half a day, the work that would have taken six or seven people two days was completed.
This made Xiao Qiang and the others dumbfounded, and their little hearts were trembling. Oh my God, you have to be so strong to be able to do this.
