The five of us brought so much money with us that we really didn't dare to go out and have dinner. We even had dinner in the hotel.
At any rate, the hotel staff allowed them to take their plates back to the room to eat, and then sent them back after they finished eating.
At night, no one dared to sleep properly, so they all stuffed their money into their bags and put it under the pillow to sleep.
Early the next morning, I got up, had something to eat, and then took the six-thirty express train back.
On the train, the five people were also together, and Zhou Qingguo was always alert.
Fortunately, nothing happened on the way, and we returned to Songjiang River smoothly.
After getting off the train, Xu Shiyan went to the savings bank as usual, deposited 1,500 yuan, and took the rest home.
Only then did the four people realize that they could save their money and get interest.
The few people discussed it and decided that each of them would deposit one thousand and three dollars, so that each of them would go home with five hundred dollars.
In this way, the savings bank suddenly did business worth thousands of dollars, and the staff at the counter were dumbfounded.
Where did these five people, dressed in rags and covered in dirt, get so much money?
Didn't he do something bad?
Of course, this has nothing to do with savings banks. They are only responsible for handling business and do not care about the rest.
After the five people had saved their money and felt relaxed, Zhou Qingguo said, why not go buy something and go to his house for a drink in the afternoon.
Xu Shiyan calculated that there was still a lot left over the sixty, so he might as well pay from the remaining money without anyone taking the money.
They bought whatever they could, went back and cooked delicious food, called their wives, and had a lot of fun together.
Just like that, a few people went straight to the store and bought some cans. They also bought some free ribs, pork offal, etc. at the grocery store.
He carried it back to Donggang and went straight to Zhou's house.
Ever since several people left yesterday, Zhou Zhanghe has been thinking about them.
I don’t know if these people went out smoothly or not, and I don’t know how much the mallet could be sold for.
Finally, everyone who had been looking forward to it was back, and Zhou Zhanghe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I'm finally back safely. Come on, hurry up and go into the house. Sit down and have a drink of water and have a rest."
"Second brother, we are not going into the house. We are going home first and will come to your house for a drink later.
Please ask my sister-in-law to take some trouble to make those things, and we will all be busy at the second brother's house in the evening."
Xu Shiyan smiled, waved his hand, pushed his bicycle and walked out.
After greeting Zhou Zhang and others, they all left with their bicycles and went home to announce the good news.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back." Xu Shiyan pushed his bicycle and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the gate.
Xu Shiyan went to the mountain on the 16th day of the seventh lunar month and came back on the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month. This journey lasted six days.
Su Anying was thinking about her husband all day long at home, wondering how her husband was doing outside, whether he would be in danger, and whether he would be able to come back smoothly.
She had to take care of her son, and she also had to serve these mouthy beasts at home, so she was worried and worried.
As soon as she heard her husband calling her outside, Su Anying didn't care about anything else. She picked up her son and ran outside, just in time to see Xu Shiyan pushing a car in.
"You're back? How's it going? Is everything going well?"
The moment she saw her husband well, Su Anying finally felt relieved.
Regardless of whether there is anything gained from going into the mountains, as long as people come back safely, it is better than anything else.
"Well, it went pretty well. Let's go into the house and talk."
Although the neighbors were quite far away, Xu Shiyan was still very careful.
I set up the car, took down all the storage items from the back seat, and went into the house with my wife.
When he arrived in the east room, Xu Shiyan took out a passbook and three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed them to Su Anying.
"Save this carefully. There is fifteen hundred yuan in it. Keep this money at home, in case you need it urgently."
As soon as Su Anying heard Xu Shiyan's words, she knew that she would meet a big deal again this time when she entered the mountain.
So he took the passbook, took out the key, opened the box, took out a locked small box inside, and used the key to open the small box. Not only was the passbook placed inside, but there was also money.
When I came back to Tonghua last year, I saved 3,000, and split 560 with Yang Chunming and others the second time.
The first time I sold bear bile and skin in winter, I got 1,400 yuan, and the second time, I got around 400 yuan.
This summer, Niu Maoguang sold for less than 200 yuan, and Gastrodia elata sold for more than 100 yuan.
After deducting the 400 yuan to buy a house, a sewing machine, a bicycle, and daily living expenses, there are 5,500 yuan in the two bankbooks and almost 1,000 yuan in cash.
The couple happily counted the money, then locked the small box again, put it at the bottom of the box, and then locked the box again.
"Daughter-in-law, I plan to build five houses in the west next year. All of them will be built with bricks and tiles and are sturdy. This will save me having to go to the house and clean up the roofs in the summer."
While teasing his son, Xu Shiyan told his wife about his plans for next year.
"We'll wait for another two years to slow down and renovate the three buildings on the east end, and then build a bunch of warehouses and livestock sheds. We'll have a good life in the future."
Xu Shiyan has long thought about it. When the policy comes down next autumn, families will be allowed to raise large livestock, pigs, and poultry.
He tried to raise two cows or two mules for work, then put them under the west slope, built a pigsty, and raised five or six pigs.
There is nothing else to do on the hill behind, just plant fruit trees, raise a dozen geese, and a few chickens, so that this family can live a decent life.
When Xu Shiyan said that, Su Anying listened with a smile and didn't express any opinions. When Xu Shiyan finished speaking, she nodded.
"Okay, as long as you are willing, you can arrange whatever you want.
However, now you have to wash your face and tidy up. Look at you, you look like a mud monkey, with a gray face.
I don’t know if you haven’t washed your face in a few days, so you’re like this.”
Su Anying raised her hand and wiped it on Xu Shiyan's face. "Okay, it's all mud."
"Can we still have a good time going up the mountain?
We came back with so much money, so I specifically told Qingguo and the others that no one should wash their faces. With this kind of virtue, no one came close to us."
This is many years of experience.
When you go out in the car, the more clean and formal you are, the more people will sit next to you, and you will be easily stared at.
The more ragged you are and the more muddy you are, the more people will feel uncomfortable when they look at you, and they will definitely not come close to you, which is actually safer.
"It's just nonsense. If you're lazy, just say you're lazy. You just tried to fool me with so many myths."
Su Anying couldn't laugh or cry, so she slapped her husband and urged him to wash up and change clothes quickly.
"Go and clean up quickly, otherwise you won't be allowed to go to the kang at night."
After being married for a long time, the shy little daughter-in-law began to become more aggressive and threatened people at every turn.
"You really don't allow me to go to the kang? I've been out for several days and you don't miss me? What should I do if I miss you?"
Xu Shiyan deliberately mischief, got close to his wife, kissed her on the face, and then ran away.
Little Haiyuan, who was leaning in his mother's arms, didn't know what was going on and suddenly started to giggle.
Su Anying wiped her face, looked down at her son, and smiled.
"What do you know? You know how to laugh?"
As he spoke, he rummaged through the cabinet, found clean clothes for Xu Shiyan, and put them on the kang.
