The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 26 Sooner or later
The banks of Qinghe River and Xishui River are full of green grass. Most of the villagers are cutting hogweed in these two places. This is public and anyone can cut it.

In addition to these two places, there is also a lot of grass to beat on the slopes at the foot of the mountain.

Usually they go to the nearest place. When they lived in the old house, Shiliu and the others hunted pigweed at the foot of the mountain. Now the new house site is closer to the river. Therefore, Shiliu took her brother and went straight to Qing Dynasty. Went to the river.

The reason why he did not go to the bank of Xishui River but to Qinghe River was because Pomegranate promised to buy candy for his brother.

The two siblings trotted along the bank of the Qing River to the entrance of the village. They saw a lot of people gathered under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, including children, as well as older and younger wives.

Buying candies, toys, needles and thread, the salesman picked up a load, and there were several drawers on one side, and there was everything.

The siblings rushed forward and greeted all the acquaintances in the village who were surrounding them. They saw the fourth aunt Jiang and Li Ronghua having just bought something and squeezed out.

"Fourth Aunt!" Pomegranate sister and brother hurriedly called.

When Mrs. Jiang saw the two siblings, she also smiled, "What are you two here to buy?" As she said that, she opened the paper bag she just bought and grabbed two candies and gave them one to each of them.

"We're also buying candy, Aunt Four." Pomegranate waved her hand and refused, not asking for the candy.

When Mrs. Jiang heard that they were also buying candies, she didn't say much. She took the candies back and pulled her son to squeeze out of the crowd and go back to the old house.

After walking away a little, Li Ronghua started asking for some candy. Jiang touched one and gave it to him. She also threw one into her mouth. She felt that the candy was so sweet that her heart almost melted, and she couldn't help but smile. , "So it's better to separate our families. If we don't separate our families, how can we buy candies if we want without going through anyone? We don't have to worry about whether to give it to someone. Look, you Sister Pomegranate and Brother Zhang will come by themselves." I bought some candy and ate it!”

Li Ronghhua happily ate the candy and nodded, "Mom, you are right!" He didn't care whether the family separation was good or not, as long as he had candy to eat!

Mrs. Jiang touched his head and said with a smile: "My mother will send you to study tomorrow. Then you have to give your mother some credit. You must study better than Brother Tan. Do you hear me?"

This year, the village school has started in January. It is not cost-effective to send them away now, but we have to wait until next winter for nearly a year.

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang thought about taking advantage of these two months to intensify her weaving work. Then she would ask her parents to borrow some money and send her son to the Fan family school directly after the first month.

Well, brother Tan went to the village school, and her second brother Hua went directly to the Fan family school to see who was more capable.

Cotton is indispensable for weaving. She bought a loom and bought all the cotton harvested by her family this year. For this reason, she had even less money and could only build the house slowly.

Shiliu pulled her younger brother and squeezed to the front, while looking at the contents of several drawers, various gadgets, and fashionable toys in the city, it was dazzling.

However, she was not interested in any of this. She only looked at the drawer where the candy was placed. She saw that there were only a few sugar packets left in the drawer, but they were all the same. They were the same as the candies bought at home in the past, which were caramel candies.

This candy is the most common, not expensive, and the kind of candy that people in the village can afford.

Such a pack only costs five cents.

Pomegranate touched five copper coins to pay the money, took the candy and left with her brother. After walking on the path by the river, she gave him all the paper bags, "Eat less candy, be careful of your heart teeth breaking."

Li Rongzhang took the paper bag, opened it eagerly, and took one to feed to the pomegranate.

Pomegranate waved her hands hurriedly, "I don't eat candy, you can eat it yourself! Just leave two for each of the eldest brother, eldest sister and second brother."

This candy is very sticky to the teeth and not very tasty. Last year, Chunhua's cousin came back to pay New Year's greetings to her uncle. She bought two packs of lotus seed candies. Later, her uncle gave her father a pack, and her father shared one among a group of children and all the children tasted one. The candy was not bad.

However, compared with the various candies of later generations, they are a bit unsatisfactory.

Therefore, in Pomegranate's eyes, this candy really wouldn't make her greedy.

Seeing that she refused to eat, Li Rongzhang could only feed the candy into his mouth, and nodded, "It's so sweet! It's delicious! Second sister, you really don't want to eat it?"

"If you don't want to eat it, eat it quickly. I'll cut the pigweed first." As he spoke, Pomegranate saw a piece of green and tender goose grass. He hurriedly touched the sickle and squatted down, and began to cut it with clang clang clang.

There are no girls in the village who don't know how to fight pigweed. Pomegranate has been fighting pigweed for six or seven years, so she can do it with her eyes closed.

There is a nursery rhyme sung in eight villages across the country: Shake, shake, shake, shake a girl to get pig grass, shake a boy to get firewood.

She grew up listening to this nursery rhyme. Everyone in the village can sing it. There is also a nursery rhyme, Zhang hits the iron and Li hits the iron. I gave my sister a pair of scissors. My sister left me to rest, but I didn't rest. The crab pinched my ear.

Adults love to use this to scare children, saying that if they don't obey, they will lose a piece of their ear.

Thinking back then, Pomegranate witnessed her child, Li Rongzhang, being so frightened that she cried with runny noses, as well as all her cousins.

Of course, as a "little child" at that time, she was also frightened like this, but she was crying on her face, but she wasn't scared at all in her heart.

The twelve years of time flashed through Pomegranate's mind like a horse, and suddenly the more than thirty years of life in her previous life flashed through her mind. The movements of her hands became even more numb. Sneaked away.

She is full of energy now. After the separation, her first goal from now on is to make money, make money, make money!

Thinking about how she had worked hard for more than ten years in her previous life as a migrant worker and managed to save a large amount of savings, she wanted to go back to her hometown, build a small villa, and live a retirement life with beautiful scenery and good air quality.

The results of it?
Just thinking about it makes me tired.

But fortunately, she was not given to an old lady. She still has a lot of time left. Once she is young again, making money could not be easier.

Look at her step by step, sooner or later she will be able to save a large amount of savings!
In the time it took Li Rongzhang to eat a piece of candy, the pomegranates filled up a basket full of pigweed. The siblings worked together to fill the small basket on Li Rongzhang's back, and prepared to carry it back to the old house to cook pig food. Feed the pigs.

Walking all the way through the village to the west end of the village, on the way, I happened to meet Pang Ni running towards the village entrance in a hurry.

"Pomegranate! Are you going to the entrance of the village? I heard that another salesman has come! He's selling headbands that are only available in the city!"

Another salesman came?

Shiliu listened and wondered, what kind of trend is happening in their village today? Why are all the salesmen here?
She still had twenty-five cents left. Thinking of her eldest sister Li Xiangli and her mother Song, Shiliu took out ten coins and handed them to Pang Ni, "I have to feed the pigs, Pang Ni, please help me." I’ll bring three!”

She ran from here to the entrance of the village, then from the entrance of the village to the old house, and from the old house back to the homestead. She had already reached the standard for exercise steps today, so it was good to save some energy.

Pang Ni happily accepted the coin, patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry pomegranate, I will pick the most beautiful one for you!"
