Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 36 Ask him what he means

Xia Jiaojiao's face was dull: "Mom, why are you so stingy? You only took two sweet potatoes. I'll let my mother-in-law tell you when I get back."

Wang Li: "Our family doesn't specialize in growing sweet potatoes. I'll bring you two back home with a little harvest. Isn't this my intention? Isn't it enough?"

Xia Jiaojiao: "Stop being so nagging and hurry up and bring me some sweet potatoes."

Wang Li is not a generous person: "I'll give you two, do you really want it?"

Xia Jiaojiao: "No, can I come here specially?"

Wang Li: "This is all we have in our family. People say that married daughters are like thieves. That's absolutely true. They still want to come back and get the things."

Xia Jiaojiao didn't like hearing what her mother said, so she immediately said: "Mom, what you are doing is outrageous. Just give me a few sweet potatoes, otherwise I won't have any face in my husband's family. Don't you agree to this?"

Wang Li was indeed distressed.

Xia Jiaojiao: "I brought so many things here as soon as I came back. If you are so stingy, you won't bring anything here next time I come back."

Seeing that her mother was still distressed, Xia Jiaojiao said: "Didn't the benefits that the family received during this period be few? Once the second uncle died, most of everything was in your hands. Do you still want to hide this from your daughter? ?”

Call her so stingy?

Wang Li got angry, picked up two sweet potatoes from the ground and stuffed them into Xia Jiaojiao's hands: "Here, take two and leave."

Xia Jiaojiao: "Mom, you only take two? You still take two. Are you dissatisfied that my feet are not sore after this trip?"

Wang Li: "What else? Two plus these two make four. Don't you think four is enough?"

Wang Li: "Of course it's not enough. How do you think four sweet potatoes can be eaten with so many people at home?"

Wang Li said angrily: "If I marry you to them, do I still have to be responsible for their family's food and drink? I married you just to let you bring more benefits to their family, not to let you take things out of the house. of!"

Xia Jiaojiao was extremely angry. Did she marry an ordinary family?
Xia Jiaojiao: "Do you think they are ordinary people? After all, they are also the village chief's family. If anything happens in the future, you will have to go to him. You are so stingy now and give people a bad impression. Let's It’s hard for me to be a human being, too.”

Xia Jiaojiao took several more sweet potatoes by herself and put them in a big bamboo basket. When it was put up, it was so heavy that she could hardly pull it out.

Wang Li saw her daughter taking so many things with her hands, and yelled from behind distressedly: "They say my daughter is a thief, my daughter is a thief!"

Xia Jiaojiao walked to the door and turned around and said, "How much can these sweet potatoes be sold for? I'll bring you something valuable in the future. Isn't that enough? How can you say you don't know how to do math?"

Wang Li was stunned by the words, something valuable?
She immediately asked: "What valuable thing?"

Xia Jiaojiao: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer anyway."

After saying this, she turned around and left.

When she was halfway there, she happened to meet Aunt Yao and Sister Tu. They were very happy to see mother and daughter, and they were holding a basket in their hands.

Xia Jiaojiao saw the hairpin on Sister Tu's head with sharp eyes.

Xia Jiaojiao: "Sister Rabbit, where did you buy the hairpin you have on your head?"

Sister Tu didn't think much about it for a moment and said, "Xia Ning gave it to me."

Auntie gave a dry laugh, pulled Sister Tu and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up."

Xia Ning?

Doubts flashed in Xia Jiaojiao's eyes, and she suddenly thought that Zhao Min and Xia Ning almost got into a fight over the hairpin.

So the hairpins are so beautiful?

Where can Xia Ning get such hairpins?
"Sister, do you want to go back?"

Xia Chunhua was carrying a basket and said hello to Xia Jiaojiao when she saw her.

Xia Jiaojiao asked: "Chunhua, where have you been?"

Xia Chunhua shook the bamboo basket in her hand: "I picked some wild vegetables."

Xia Jiaojiao immediately saw the hairpin on Xia Chunhua's head and asked, "Chunhua, where did your hairpin come from?" Do you think it looks good?"

Xia Jiaojiao: "Yes, I think it looks very good. I just met Sister Tu and she also has a hairpin like this. Where did you get it?"

Xia Chunhua then said: "My pair of hairpins were given to me by Xia Xue."

Xia Xue?

It seemed that she cared too little about Xia Ning recently.

……

Xia Ning allocated some goods to Aunt Yao.

Just thinking about things, she couldn't stay in Luoshi Village forever and do this kind of work.

After she has prepared her things, she should find a location in the town and recruit workers in the town. That would be more convenient.

The orders we have now can be dealt with for the time being, but in another month it will probably be difficult to deal with them.

Moreover, being in Luoshi Village is not conducive to her career development at all, because her current status next to Zhou Junmin is a bit embarrassing.

Once the Zhou family doesn't let her do her job, she won't be able to do her job immediately, so she is restricted from doing many things.

After Zhou Junmin took the medicine, his condition improved a lot.

Through the window, I saw Xia Ning frowning. Then for some reason, he put down the book in his hand and walked out.

Xia Ning thought something was wrong with him and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Junmin said: "Are you in trouble?"

She bought so many hairpin bases. If she couldn't sell them, she would definitely have a backlog in her hands. Moreover, she borrowed 50 yuan from herself that day, and she had already spent 50 yuan on these hairpin bases today.

So, how does she make money these days?
He was suddenly interested in Xia Ning.

Xia Ning: "There must be something wrong with me. I have taken on so many jobs. I have to do these jobs well now so that I can receive the balance from them."

Zhou Junmin: "How much money can you make by making a hairpin?"

Xia Ning: "I can't say that now. If I have a machine, if I can do it in batches, my time will be reduced and I will earn more, but I have no choice now. Everything has to be done." Handmade."

For example, if a machine is used to cut leather templates, it must be cut in batches. However, she can only use scissors to cut one piece at a time, which consumes too much time and affects the output. The speed of goods.

Zhou Junmin nodded. Because of this, he felt that the money Xia Ning earned was too limited.

What's more, in the village, it is now difficult for Xia Ning to use her hands and feet.

Xia Ning suddenly looked up at the man in front of her: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang!

What's more, Zhou Junmin's brain is pretty good, so Xia Ning asked him what he meant.

Zhou Junmin: "I suggest you go to the town to do production."

Xia Ning frowned: "I also want to go to the town, but the problem is that there are no houses in the town. Now it would be too expensive to rent a house and buy some machines. I can't do that much with nothing now."

Zhou Junmin: "I know there is a house in the town that is currently unoccupied. I can lend it to you."

Didn't expect such a good thing?

Xia Ning raised her head and looked at Zhou Junmin.

Zhou Junmin frowned slightly: "You don't believe it?"
