Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 54 The Four Sisters Can Act in Dramas
Niu Xiaodong grabbed a handful of dates from his pocket, "Brother Qiang, these are wild dates. Although they are not yet ripe, they taste pretty good."

Of course Niu Xiaoqiang had eaten jujubes, but he had never eaten wild dates. He asked curiously, "There are still jujube trees in the mountains near us?"

Niu Xiaodong nodded: "Of course there are, but the number is not too many. Over the years, the three of us have only found two wild jujube trees, and one of them has grown quite big. The wild jujube you eat now comes from Picked from this jujube tree."

Niu Xiaoqiang was surprised: "Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Niu Huahua immediately interjected: "Xiaodong said this is an absolute secret, and we can't tell anyone, otherwise someone will come to snatch our snacks, so not only you, but probably only the three of us in the whole village know."

After Niu Huahua finished speaking, he carefully took out a few bright red wild fruits from his pocket: "Brother Xiaoqiang, this is the snake head I picked. It tastes good, you can try it."

The snake head is what the locals call it, but it is actually a wild strawberry, which can often be seen in the fields.Niu Xiaoqiang once picked them by himself. Although the taste is not very sweet, it is much better than cicada chrysalis.

He took it and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, thank you."

After eating, the four of them sat in the shade of a tree chatting and farting until the sun was setting and Niu Xiaoqiang stood up: "It's almost time, let's go home."

Before going home, Niu Xiaoqiang asked Niu Xiaoyong to fish up the four large silver carp that he specially left behind.These four fish are about the same size, all weighing about five catties.

According to the previous agreement, if the money for selling fish reaches [-], and there are still fish left, then each person will take one home to satisfy their greed.Since both conditions were met, these four fish were deliberately kept.

After dividing the fish, Niu Xiaoqiang reminded: "When we go home later, we will help the teacher clean up the mud in the fish pond at school. The teacher gave us the fish in order to express his gratitude to us. Do you remember? ?”

"Don't worry, we won't say anything."

"That's good, let's go home now."

The four sang songs and walked happily through the mountains and forests.

When Niu Xiaoqiang came home, his family members were sitting under the big tree at the door to enjoy the shade.The second, third, and fourth sisters all came back, and the older sisters got together to chat, chatting until they were happy, laughing and trembling, like a beautiful landscape.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming back with the fish, several sisters immediately came up with surprise and asked where he got the fish. Niu Xiaoqiang covered it up according to the pre-prepared words.

In order to show off, Niu Xiaoqiang took the initiative to run into the house and showed the certificate he got to the other three sisters who didn't know.Unexpectedly, the three sisters were not very interested in this matter, so they put Niu Xiaoqiang aside with a few perfunctory words, and discussed how to deal with this five-jin heavy silver carp.After a fierce dispute, they finally reached a consensus: boil the fish and eat it.

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the hunger for this fish in the eyes of his sisters, then looked at the certificate in his hand, and said with a sigh: "This is the first time I have won an award...you don't How about a few more compliments..."

The sisters didn't have time to talk to Niu Xiaoqiang at all. After the discussion, a group of people went to the kitchen carrying fish like stars holding the moon.Niu Xiaoqiang drooped his head dejectedly, walked up to his mother who was picking vegetables and sat down.

Mother Sun Mei laughed and said: "Our youngest son is really promising. Not only has he won a certificate, but he also brought back such a big fish."

After hearing his mother's praise, Niu Xiaoqiang felt that his wounded heart was comforted a little.He turned his head to look and found that his father was not at home, so he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where did Dad go?"

Sun Mei laughed and said, "He's gone to your uncle's house. Your cousin just had a baby boy. Why don't he, as an uncle, go and visit him?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's family is very large. His father has seven brothers and sisters, and 23 cousins. If you add the six children in Niu Xiaoqiang's family, there are 29.

Mother Sun Mei's family is also quite large. There are six brothers and sisters in her generation, and 25 children in the next generation. If you add their six children, there are [-] children.

The high birth rate of Laoniu's family and Laosun's family is not an isolated case. In this era in China, many families gave birth to several children.As for why this happened, it is mainly due to the saying "more people are more powerful" that Mao Zedong said.Now that the government encourages childbirth, the people will naturally respond to the call.

"Mom, did Dad borrow money?"

About borrowing money, he heard from his parents during the last meal.Niu Xiaoqiang always felt unreliable, because he knew the personality of his uncle's family.I wanted to help them like my father did back then, but after they got over the difficulties, they didn't even go through the door of their own house, as if they were afraid that their poor relatives would hold them back.

Sun Mei hummed: "It's mainly to send love, borrowing money is just incidental."

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly, he knew that his mother had the same thoughts as him, the reason why he said borrowing money was just incidental, it was just an excuse to comfort himself after failure.

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: If I could get better sooner, my family would not be in such a difficult situation. From now on, I will work hard to manage the farm well and greatly improve the family's financial situation.

"Little brother, did you take out the textbooks I used?"

While Niu Xiaoqiang was secretly sighing, the fourth sister Niu Dongxiang came out.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to explain things about his studies, because as long as he opened the conversation, the sisters would take the initiative to take over all the topics that followed, and it wouldn't be enough if he didn't quarrel him to death.As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama, and Niu Xiaoqiang has four older sisters, all of whom can act in a drama.

He casually said: "Oh, I put away those textbooks of yours. I figured that they might be useful in the future. In order to avoid being wiped my ass, I put them away in advance."

"Oh, so that's what happened. My classmate's younger sister also wanted to borrow my book to study. Since you took it away, forget it."

When Niu Dongxiang said this, she stared at Niu Xiaoqiang with a half-smile: "Little brother, I heard from my elder sister that you can recite vocabulary while working. Do you want to go to college like your sister?"

In Niu Dongxiang's eyes, although this silly brother seemed to have changed his temper, he couldn't compare with him anyway, so the tone of his speech revealed a sense of ridicule.
