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

Chapter 243 Guilt

The night falls and twilight rises.

The lights came on in the Shen family courtyard.

Grandma Shen was wearing an apron and standing in front of the stove, holding a shovel in her hand and constantly stir-frying, filling the room with the aroma.

As soon as the fried dishes were brought to the table, Grandpa Shen and Shen Xiu came back in the dusk. The father and daughter seemed to have come back at the same time.

Grandpa Shen just walked to the gate and smelled the strong fragrance of wild onions. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Ah, there are wild onions to eat tonight."

Wild onions in spring are the tenderest and most fragrant. As the saying goes, "little garlic in March is as fragrant as an old man." This taste is the best for me. Just smelling it makes me drool.

Shen Qiuqiu saw the two of them and greeted them quickly, "Grandpa, sister-in-law, wash your hands and come to eat."

After saying that, he took another bowl and served them food.

Today's dinner is simple, fried bacon with wild green onions, cold dandelions, omelette with Chinese toon sprouts, stir-fried gray vegetables, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of fragrant rice soup.

As soon as Grandpa Shen sat down, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the food on the table, and joked: "Why, today it's all wild vegetables, let's eat Yiku rice."

It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just because Shen Qiuqiu is filming a food special, and the family eats a lot of fish and meat every day, either braised pork ribs, stewed chicken, stewed goose, or braised pork, big knuckles, fish with pickled vegetables... It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten something so light. The old man felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"You call this Yiku rice? There are vegetables and meat, but I'm wronging you. I think you just eat too much and have no time!" Grandma Shen rolled her eyes at him and picked up a chopstick of cold dandelions. In his bowl, "Xiaohua said that eating more wild vegetables is good for your health, especially this dandelion, which can clear away heat and detoxify. It is the best to eat these days."

"I just said that casually, you have a hundred words waiting for me." Grandpa Shen complained, but he still picked up his chopsticks and ate the dandelion in a big mouth, which made him frown in pain.

Grandma Shen also picked up a handful of dandelions for herself, "These days are the time to eat wild vegetables. In previous years, conditions were not good. If you want to eat some wild vegetables, you have to go up the mountain to find them before dawn. If you go there too late, you won't even find any grass." There is nothing left; the conditions have improved in the past two years, and no one has picked the wild vegetables on the mountain. I dug some for you to taste, but you still dislike it, Shen Laoer, I think you have forgotten your roots. "

Grandpa Shen curled his lips and said nothing. He picked up the enamel basin and poured some rice soup into the rice. After a long time, the rice was soaked in a bowl of rice soup.

He didn't eat vegetables either. He had a bowl of rice soup with rice and a plate of pickles, and started eating with a slurp.

Grandma Shen rolled her eyes in anger.

Shen Qiuqiu quickly put a chopstick of stir-fried bacon with wild onions into grandpa's bowl, and persuaded him: "Grandpa, eat more food. Your favorite stir-fried bacon with wild onions, grandma made it specially for you."

Grandma Shen was unhappy and snorted, "Who doesn't like bacon? I love it too."

"Okay, okay, grandma should eat more." Like coaxing a child, Shen Qiuqiu picked up another chopstick dish for grandma.

Old and young, the older you get, the younger you get. This is absolutely true.

Afraid that the old couple would quarrel again, Shen Qiuqiu quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, I heard that the strawberry garden is very lively today."

"Well, the people here today are all young people. They were very generous. They picked a lot of white strawberries without bargaining. There were also several people who said I was an Internet celebrity and insisted on taking pictures with me." Shen Xiuxu He said nagging, his voice trembling with excitement.

As she was talking, she seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped. She hurriedly took out her phone from her bag and clicked a few times on the screen.

"Xiaohua, these are the money collected today, a total of 13,726." Before she finished speaking, Shen Qiuqiu's WeChat message notification sounded.

"Business is good today." She sighed with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

Seeing that Shen Qiuqiu had no intention of using her mobile phone to collect payment, Shen Xiu became anxious. She quickly handed her mobile phone to Shen Qiuqiu, "There are really only so many. Look, all the money on WeChat has been transferred to you. I will No points left.”

She was deeply afraid that Shen Qiuqiu would think that she had secretly hidden the money, and would not believe herself. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

She didn't want to go to the strawberry farm to help before because she was afraid of this; even couples couldn't argue about money. In that home before, Song Daqiang never let her touch the family's money, guarding her as much as he would a thief.

Grandma Shen was also afraid of conflicts between her daughter and her granddaughter, so she helped her by saying, "Xiaohua, your sister-in-law has been timid since she was a child. Even if I beat her to death, she wouldn't dare to take other people's things, let alone money. She has a lot of bad things and a bad conscience." She’s still here, if you’re nice to her, she won’t do anything wrong to you.”

Shen Qiuqiu didn't expect Shen Xiu to be so sensitive, and she suddenly felt dumbfounded. She comforted her and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. We are all a family, how could I not believe you."

After being together for such a long time, she still understood Shen Xiu's personality, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to guard the strawberry garden.

"Sister-in-law, I have a lot of things on hand recently. Just help me keep an eye on the strawberry garden and be careful not to make miscalculations." Shen Qiuqiu picked up the phone and clicked to confirm the payment.

"Tomorrow I will find a notebook for you. Write down how many kilograms and how much you sold every day in the notebook, so that we can reconcile the accounts."

"Okay, okay." Shen Xiu nodded repeatedly, and he could tell clearly with the account book.

"Xiaohua, if you have anything to do, just say it. I will definitely do a good job for you after I get your salary."

There is a reason why Shen Xiu was very motivated and wanted to express herself today.

She was looking after the strawberry garden today. When she had nothing to do, she would sit at the door of the strawberry garden and chat with the villagers;

Everyone was envious when they heard that Shen Qiuqiu paid her every month, provided her with food and shelter, provided for her daughter to study, and even bought her insurance;

They all said that she had done good deeds in her previous life and got lucky to have such a good niece.

Tong Qiaohui also said that her son was working in the county, and his monthly salary was only more than a thousand yuan, which did not include food, housing, or insurance. In comparison, Shen Xiu felt that her treatment was much better, so she decided Work hard and keep this job.

After they all finished speaking, Grandpa Shen said: "Xiao Hua, if you have anything to do, go and do your work. Don't worry about the orchard for the time being. I'll just go and check it out every now and then. I'm pretty busy with the work in the grape fields, and the strawberry garden is pretty busy." Here, your sister-in-law and I are here."

Grandma Shen also said: "Yes, yes, I'm watching over here at home. Wang Weidong and the others work hard. They don't have to worry too much about packaging and shipping."

My grandparents have always been like this. As long as they want to do something, they will support them unconditionally and do their best to help;

While Shen Qiuqiu was moved, she felt guilty again.

When she returned to her hometown, she obviously wanted to do a good job and let her grandparents live a good life and enjoy their old age in peace, but now she has made the whole family suffer along with her.

Perhaps, we should think carefully about the next road ahead and make plans for future development; we can no longer do what we think of and do as we do now, being disorganized and making ourselves very tired.
