After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 188 Warmth
Zhang Qiuyu tugged at Song Guangqin's sleeve, pointed to the unknown basket of vegetables in front of the little girl and said, "Mom, I want to eat that vegetable."

Song Guangqin looked in the direction of her daughter's finger, and praised with a smile, "Ah, this shepherd's purse is really juicy."

She moved to her daughter's side and asked softly, "Daughter wants to eat shepherd's purse?"

Zhang Qiuyu didn't even know what kind of dish it was, so she just nodded indiscriminately, "Yeah."

Song Guangqin smiled, looked up and asked the little vegetable seller, "How do you sell shepherd's purse?"

The little girl selling vegetables is called Chen Jing, 15 years old this year, she is the granddaughter of Grandma Chen in the village, she and Grandma Chen grew up dependent on each other.

Her parents went to other provinces to work when she was eight years old, and never came back after that, not even a word of news.

Chen Jing's academic performance is very good, but her family is too poor to pay for her to continue her studies. The little girl dropped out of school and went home before graduating from junior high school.

Now the grandparents and grandson barely make ends meet by growing vegetables and raising pigs, and with a monthly subsistence allowance of more than 100 yuan.

Chen Jing went to the mountain early this morning to hunt pigweed, dug a basket of shepherd's purse, passed by here on the way down the mountain, and saw a lot of cars parked by the side of the road, and the big guys set up stalls here to sell things.

She looked more curiously, and Yang Yanhong greeted her warmly.

Then, in a daze, she joined the vegetable stall team.

The little girl is young and very shy, and she can't shame herself to actively solicit customers, so she hasn't had much business.

At this time Song Guangqin took the initiative to ask, and she quickly responded, "Ten yuan a catty."

Seeing that the other party seemed to be hesitant, she said: "I dug these shepherd's purses from the hillside this morning. They are all tender, and I picked out the old ones. You don't have to pick them when you take them home. Just wash them and eat them." I can eat it."

Fearing that Song Guangqin wouldn't believe it, the little girl showed her the plastic bag behind her. Inside was a bag of old shepherd's purse, with spots on the leaves and some yellowing.

Song Guangqin picked up the shepherd's purse in the basket and saw that it was really good, so she smiled and said, "Okay, give me a bag, I'll buy some and try it out."

Zhang Qiuyu began to act coquettishly, "Mom, it's not enough to buy just a little, let's buy them all back, if you can't finish eating, you can share some with my auntie."

"Okay, okay." Song Guangqin bought all the shepherd's purse in Chen Jing's basket at the begging of his daughter.

A big basket full of shepherd's purse, less than three catties in total, only two catties and six taels.

Zhang Qiuyu was a little surprised, "There are so many vegetables, but it only weighs two catties and six taels. The small basket of strawberries just now weighs more than four catties."

Song Guangqin couldn't help laughing, and took the opportunity to educate her daughter, "Silly girl, this is common sense in life, and it is also a junior high school physics knowledge, mass and density; in simple terms, vegetables have low density, so don't weigh the scale."

"Oh." Zhang Qiuyu nodded half understanding.

Looking at the pair of mother and daughter in front of her, Chen Jing was inexplicably touched, and suddenly felt a little envy in her heart.

It would be great if my mother was by my side.

After buying vegetables, Zhang Qiuyu suddenly asked when she was about to leave, "Sister, are you still selling vegetables here next week?"

Chen Jing nodded subconsciously, "It should be here..."

"Okay, then I'll come and play with you next week." Zhang Qiuyu smiled at her, held her mother's hand, and bounced away.

Song Guangqin glanced at her daughter, and said with some disapproval, "Ninny, Mom never said that she will take you out to play next week."

"Mom, you are the best, let's come again next week, okay?" Zhang Qiuyu pouted and acted like a baby.

Song Guangqin did not directly refuse, but asked, "Then you have to tell mom the reason, why do you want to come next week? You can't lie."

Zhang Qiuyu lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Just now, that sister's shoe was broken, and I think she looks very unhappy, so I want to use the lucky money to buy a new pair of shoes for her, is that okay?"

Song Guangqin couldn't help laughing, her heart softened.

She reached out and rubbed her daughter's little head, "Of course, it's very meaningful to help those in need as much as I can."

……

Chen Jing watched the mother and daughter go away, feeling a little melancholy in her heart.

The little girl carefully put the 26 yuan she just got from selling vegetables into her pocket, put the basket on her back, and was ready to go home with the basket.

"Jingjing, come here." Shen Qiuqiu waved to her as he pawed at the fence of the strawberry garden.

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, but trotted over obediently.

"Sister Xiaohua, do you have something to do with me?"

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile, "Uncle Datou and I are planning to open a restaurant in the village, and it is expected to open next Saturday.

I remember that your grandma used to make tofu and sell it in the village, and it was delicious. Go back and ask her if she can still make it now.

If we can make it, we will order the tofu in our restaurant at your house in the future. The quantity may not be too large, about one or two boards per day. How much we need depends on the quality of the business.

There are also wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, spring bamboo shoots, purslane, walnut flower, Tangli flower, etc., which are also collected in our restaurant. "

Hearing this, Chen Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded excitedly, "Sister Xiaohua, tofu can be made anytime, grandma is old and has no strength to do it; but I can also make tofu, don't worry, I promise to make tofu with grandma." Just as delicious as they are made.

I can find all the wild vegetables you want, when will you want them? "

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while and said, "The tentative plan is next Saturday. When I confirm the opening time, I will let you know in advance."

"Yeah." Chen Jing was so happy that she hurriedly thanked her.

Shen Qiuqiu waved his hands with a smile, took the bamboo basket she was carrying, and filled her with a basket of small strawberries.

"These are picked fresh in the morning. The fruits are small and worthless. Don't be disgusted. Take some back and try."

Chen Jing originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what she said, she felt embarrassed to say no again, so she had to thank her again.

The little girl only felt that her heart was warm and her eyes were a little moist.

If you are still in school, today is a day worth writing into your composition, because today you met a very good person and a very good thing.

Suddenly I remembered a sentence I read in the book: Although life is bitter, there will always be unexpected warmth.

Looking at the little girl's slightly red eyes, Shen Qiuqiu seemed to see himself a long time ago.

She patted Chen Jing on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't be overwhelmed by the temporary suffering, live a good life, the future can be expected."

It's chicken soup, and it's also sincere encouragement.

"En." Chen Jing nodded vigorously.

After returning home, Chen Jing couldn't wait to tell her grandma the good news.

Grandma Chen was very happy, and said with a smile, "Well, that's great, if the tofu sells well in the future, we can save some money, and then grandma will send you back to school so that you can continue your studies. "

Chen Jing smiled and nodded, "Well, I still need to save money to buy meat for grandma, so that grandma can live in a big house."
