Chapter 399: Don’t Just Eat Up All the Money
Unless the nature of his work is special and he cannot take care of his family, if he is at home but does not take good care of his wife when she needs him, such a man has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.

Now that everyone is in the city, living conditions are better, and Jin Pengfei himself has money, so Xia Chan is not in a hurry to prepare anything for Su Yu. These things are what Jin Pengfei should do, so she let Jin Pengfei prepare them first. She can't take away a husband's work.

She would just wait and see when they needed it. It was very likely that they wouldn't need it. Su Yu's parents might come to take care of Su Yu by then, so it might not be of any use at all.

Just like Grandma Xiao said, just lend a helping hand when needed, and don't interfere in other people's lives at other times.

July soon arrived, and after the exams, summer vacation began and everyone packed up and went home.

Jin Pengfei accompanied Su Yu back to her parents' home, Xiao Tiantian and Jin Pengyuan also returned to the Xiao family, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi continued to live in the house they rented. The house they rented was near Xia Chan's school and not far from the Xiao family, so they would go there every now and then.

The child is more than half a year old now. He can sit and can be held upright. I don’t have to be as cautious with him as before. He has been breastfed and has not grown fat. He has always been of normal weight and height. Xia Chan is not in a hurry about these things. Anyway, I have not treated the child badly. Let him be as tall as he can when he grows up!
Both he and Zhou Qizhi are tall. Zhou Qizhi is nearly 185cm tall, and she is over 170cm tall. The child will definitely not be short.

As long as the child is healthy, it's enough. If a man is really capable, even if he is not tall, it is an advantage in the eyes of others.

So the most important thing is not height, but ability.

Xia Chan remembered that it was in the winter of 1985 in her previous life that greenhouse cucumbers became available. It was said that they were sold for ten yuan per catty, and there was a shortage of supply. This means that there was no shortage of rich people in big cities in this era. Although it was still early, she could collect some summer vegetables in advance and set up a small stall to sell them in winter, so that she could make a profit from the difference.

If they wanted to do it, they just did it. Then the two of them rode their bicycles to the nearby countryside and notified everyone to come and collect fruits and vegetables the next morning so that everyone could pick them when they were freshest.

When the people in the production team heard that they were there to pick vegetables, they were very happy and wanted to go home to pick them immediately. However, they wanted to get the freshest ones first, so they had to wait until the next morning to pick them.

Moreover, everyone grows some fruits and vegetables in their own private plots. The space is not large, so there is still enough time to pick them in the morning.

The two men notified five nearby production teams, and when they returned, it was already dark. Zhou Qizhi rode a bicycle, and Xia Chan sat on the back, holding a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead.

Zhou Qizhi pulled Xia Chan's hand over and put it around his waist, "It will be very late when we get home, so why don't we go pick up Xiao Chi?"

Xia Chan leaned against Zhou Qizhi's back and shook her head. "No, I heard it's not good for children to go out at night. I don't want them to run into anything bad. Although I'm not a superstitious person, I still have to pay attention to the old things."

Moreover, her own experience also taught her that there are some things that she has to believe in, otherwise she cannot explain her problems.

Because the agreed delivery location was in the forest at the junction of urban and rural areas, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi didn't have to go to the countryside when they came to harvest the next morning. They just went to the forest to weigh the fruits and vegetables, and then after everyone left, they put all the fruits and vegetables into the space. After picking a batch of fruits and vegetables, the second batch would have to wait a few days, so they agreed to come the second time five days later in the morning, and everyone could just bring the fruits and vegetables here.

Thinking of delicious crayfish, snails, eels and other things, Xia Chan asked everyone to help her catch them, and she would pay the same price as fruits and vegetables. This made everyone happier because these things were free and as long as they were diligent, they could get a lot.

Xia Chan still remembers that in her previous life, crayfish were sold on street stalls for dozens of yuan per pound. She still has to study here for a few more years, and she can't just spend without earning anything. She should stock up on some crayfish and other things now, and then she can set up a stall. Maybe she can really make some money!
If you can't sell them, then wait a few years, and then set up a stall when everyone is willing to eat these things. Then you can set up a stall at the night market and make a lot of money.

She had seen on the news that some people made over 10,000 yuan a day by setting up stalls, and some people made hundreds of thousands of yuan a month. She didn't seek to become rich, as long as she and Zhou Qizhi could support themselves and not burden their children.

After the vegetables from the five production teams were delivered, Zhou Qizhi asked worriedly, "Xiao Chan, can we really sell all the vegetables we have collected? If we can't sell them, won't it be a waste of our money?"

"Don't worry, they will definitely be sold. Even if they can't be sold, you can keep them for later. The vegetables that everyone grows for their own consumption are clean and safe to eat. It won't hurt to keep some more." The vegetables in the future will be treated with all kinds of pesticides, fertilizers, preservatives, etc. How can they be as clean as they are now!
At this time, there is no problem if you just eat the vegetables without washing them. Unlike later dishes, many of them need to be blanched first.

Can vegetables still be nutritious if they are fried in water and then cooked?

So when many people go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, they buy them from the elderly. However, even so, they may not be able to buy truly pure and natural green vegetables unless they have time to buy them from people in the countryside.

Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi went to trade once every five days and had been doing this throughout the summer vacation. They received a lot of things from these five production teams.

Xia Chan packed up these things and placed them neatly in the space. He didn't have much savings in his previous life and was reluctant to spend them, so now he could only use the savings from this era.

Now is the peak season for vegetables, and it only costs a few cents per pound to collect them in the countryside, which is quite cost-effective, so you don’t have to use up your savings from your previous life.

The two of them would only send the child to Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao when they went out. The rest of the time they would take care of the child themselves. Now Zhou Qizhi has much more experience in taking care of children than Xia Chan.

Su Yu and Jin Pengfei stayed at her parents' home for only half a month before returning home. The main reason was that there was indeed a generation gap between the young people and their parents' generation. They could only love each other for the first two days after returning home, but after that they became tired of each other and quarreled. So Su Yu stayed with her parents for half a month and then hurried back to Beijing with Jin Pengfei.

Come back early and study, strive to achieve better results in the future.

Xiao Tiantian and Jin Pengyuan run a pastry business. Xia Chan went to see them when they first started. They were doing well and the business was also good. It was better than playing at home anyway.

Although everyone has money, they can't just live off it. No matter what, they can make some money by setting up a stall, and they can make more than ordinary office workers.
