Chapter 33 Happy Harvest

A Cai was extremely worried, and muttered: "It can't be that it's not easy to sell, they went to a few more places, and this is the time delay."

With Yunrui around, Qin Zhao didn't worry about what would happen, and even though Qin Zhao hadn't been to other places, just seeing Uncle Qitang's interest in jerky, Qin Zhao didn't believe that Yunrui and the others couldn't sell it for a few days. Ten catties of dried meat.

Although she was also very anxious in her heart, she was more concerned about how much money she could make from this transaction.Ah Cai was only concerned about chaos. Qin Zhao looked at her anxiously, and comforted her with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, with Daddy here, how could something happen? Huangmajiyuan is dozens of miles away from us. Well, it's normal to come back later."

Having said that, she actually hoped that Yunrui and the others could go home immediately.

It was not until it was time to light the lamps that the sound of a carriage in the distance was heard.

A Cai and Qin Zhao both left the hospital in a hurry, and they heard the sound of the carriage getting closer and closer, but after a while, the carriage arrived in front of them, and before it stopped, Zhu Balang's fat little figure jumped out of the carriage Come down: "Aunt A Cai, Sister A Zhao, why are you standing outside?"

"How's it going today? Are you okay?"

She was asking a question here, but A Cai saw several people returning safely, so she could only chant Buddha happily: "Are you tired from the journey? Why did you come back so late? Are you hungry? Go back to the house and wash your hands and face. Meals are ready."

While speaking, he welcomed people into the house.The coachman parked the carriage, tied the horse to a small tree outside the courtyard, and was also invited into the house by Qin Zhao.

A Cai went to heat up the food, but Qin Zhao was busy asking A Wu and Zhu Balang about their results today.

"Sister Ah Zhao, do you know why we came back late today?" Zhu Balang said beamingly while gulping cold boiled water.

Looking at his appearance, he knew it would definitely not be a bad thing, but thinking that this baby had worked hard all day, Qin Zhao decided to let him be Lele, so he pretended to be very curious and asked, "But what happened? Why don't you hurry up and talk to me, so that I can learn a lot too?"

"What kind of knowledge do you have?" Ah Wu came to pour cold water on Bajie, "It's because today's goods were sold out at the Huangma Market, and the caravan that has not yet set off in the market town asked us to send some goods there in the next two days. , So on the way back, Uncle Yun took us to Ping'an Town again, and asked the beef shop to send another hundred catties of beef to the family early in the morning, such a detour, that's why we came back late."

"You're the one who talks too much." Zhu Balang took the opportunity to show off, obviously his mood was greatly affected, and he slapped A Wu's head for a while.

Ah Wu said angrily: "Aren't I telling the truth, Brother Atie, this guy Bajie is bullying me again, help me deal with him."

Ah Tie was laughing.The flickering lights shone on his face, and the smile on his face was very beautiful.

However, Yun Rui carried the bag and shook it in front of Qin Zhao. Hearing the sound of half of the bag's copper plates colliding, Qin Zhao felt for the first time that the sound was like the most beautiful music in the world.

"In Ping'an Town, four restaurants were sold, each with five catties, four hundred yuan per catty, and a total of eight coins. The rest were brought to the Yellow Horse Market, and the caravans were bought. It's hard for these three boys Will praise their own things, and know how to solicit customers and negotiate prices. It is the same as last time, and I bought 40 Wen per catty. The two caravans also wrapped up our remaining 27 catties of dried meat. It’s 20 mins and [-] coins, all of which are here. The beef that was over [-] catties only cost more than [-] mins to buy, but this time alone, we earned more than [-] mins.”

Yun Rui laughed.

If it was in the past, how could he put such a small few tens of coins in his eyes?It's just that the meaning of this money is different from before.Thinking that in the long run, He Chou would not be able to earn a family business that cannot be underestimated among ordinary people with his family of three, Yun Rui couldn't express his happiness.

This emotion obviously made both Zhu Balang and A Wu more elated.Because they feel that they are no longer children, they can do things, and obviously they are doing well, even Uncle Yun praised them all the way.

They were laughing and waiting for Aunt A Cai to bring the dinner. Ah Tie stood there for a while before leaving.

His aunt was still lying on the bed, she was away from home for a day, and she was really thinking about her.I don't know if someone in the village went to his house again today.

Thinking of home, Ah Tie's eyes dimmed even with the happy scene in front of him.

Perhaps, they really can no longer live in the village.Where can he live with his seriously ill mother and Ah Xi?
Thinking of this, Ah Tie wished he could grow his wings and fly back home.

It happened that A Cai came into the house with the food, and Qin Zhao hurriedly went to the kitchen to help serve the food.Ah Caiqiang kept Ah Tie down: "I went to see your mother in the afternoon, and the family is fine. I will go back after eating. I have been hungry for a long time on the way. How can I let you go on an empty stomach? Be obedient."

Yun Rui also opened his mouth.It's not good for Ah Tie to go away, so he had to have dinner at Yun's house, and then he dragged Zhu Balang and Ah Wu back to the village in a hurry.

It wasn't until they went out that Ah Cai sighed.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Mother, our family earned more than 20 yuan a day today. Tomorrow, we will give Ah Tie and the others a penny each, and Aunt Shiba and Ah Xizhuzhu. Here are six pennies." , It’s only three mins, and there’s still a profit of 22 mins. If you can do this every day, you can earn thousands of mins in a year. It’s really not a small amount, isn’t your mother happy? Why are you still sighing?”

"Silly Ah Zhao, how can I be unhappy if I spend thousands of dollars a year? I'm just worried about a good boy like Ah Tie."

"What's wrong with Ah Tie? Is Aunt Thirteen ill?" Hearing what A Cai said, Qin Zhao thought it was Ah Tie's mother who was not well.

Who knows that A Cai shook her head: "That's not true, I heard from A Xi that your thirteenth aunt got better after taking the medicine, but the people in the village are worried that her illness will make people sicker." , Therefore, I asked their family to move out of the village. When I went there this afternoon, I happened to meet the third daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family who came to talk."

Isn't this really bullying?The family lives in the village, and the orphans and widows leave the village, where do they move?
"It's really unreasonable. How can you bully people like this?" Qin Zhao said angrily.

A Cai sighed and said, "It's not that the village people bullied them. It's really tuberculosis, which is an incurable disease, and it's really easy to get sick. It's normal for the village people to be worried. I just feel sorry for your thirteenth aunt's family." No older male..."

No wonder Ah Tie first saw her laughing with Ba Jie and A Wu, with a smile on his face, and then his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he was in a hurry to go home.He must be worried about the situation at home, and he must know that the villager wants them to move out.

Thinking of that stubborn, silent and proud young man who took good care of her, Qin Zhao also felt sad.

The world is so big, if you have money, where can you not live?

Qin Zhao frowned and thought for a long time.

If the people in the village really have such an attitude, Ah Tie's family will live in the village, and they may have a hard time.If someone came to the door every day and harassed a few words, Aunt Thirteen would be sick from depression even if she was not sick, let alone she was sick.In fact, if you want Qin Zhao to say that there is no place to keep people here, there are places to keep people. In this case, for the sake of a happy mood, it is better to just move out.

However, with the current situation of Ah Tie's family, how can they move out?You can't move out and use the sky as your bed and quilt to drink the northwest wind, right?
Because of the affairs of Ah Tie's family, the joy of making money also faded a bit.

Yun Rui then talked about the fact that he ordered more than 100 catties of beef from the butcher shop, and delivered it home tomorrow: "Because there is still delivery at Huangmaji, I think the four restaurants in Ping'an Town will deliver it, and it must be the same." I want it, the beef will be delivered tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be another busy day. Let's rest early today."

"In the future, beef jerky will be grown. The two pots in our stove are not enough, but the stove is small. If we use a pot, people will not be able to turn around in it. Otherwise, we will start again. How about setting up a stove dedicated to making jerky? Now this one is only used for family food, okay?"

Yun Rui thought about it, not enough pots are indeed a big problem.

Then he laughed and said: "That's a matter. Just do what you think. I have asked the village people to help me these two days. Isn't there still an open space to the west of our house? I will go to the patriarch's house tomorrow to ask for favors. Give that piece of land to our family as well, we don’t use it in vain, give it to the clan according to the land price, just buy it.”

After hearing this, Qin Zhao felt that it should be so. After all, their family lives here now, and their name is not right.In the past, neither Yunrui nor A Cai used this place as a temporary residence to hide from temporary difficulties. They never had the idea of ​​staying here for a long time. In fact, even now, I am afraid that these two people also think about one day They are going to leave, the only difference is that the day of leaving will be a little longer.

"Father, mother, since you want to buy the land in the west, I think it's better to discount the land and house we live in to the clan, so that this place can be regarded as our family bought it. We don't know how to buy it now. How long have you lived here? It’s always inappropriate to owe this kind of favor to the family. If you buy it, it’s more legitimate, what do you think?”

A Cai is also a married woman of Zhujiazhuang, and now she is returning to her hometown to live in a place for free. It’s not worth much money. Even if we buy it, it won’t cost much, and it’s more reassuring than living for nothing now. Yunlang, you can ask the patriarch tomorrow.”

Yun Rui was originally unwilling to owe anyone, so he naturally agreed.

Because he was talking about business, he also left the matter of Ah Tie's family aside.He also thought that if he spent money, this house would be the real home of the three of them, and the three of them felt better again.

A Cai said with a smile: "Then let's call your Eighteenth Aunt, Ah Xi and Zhu Zhu over to help."

"That's natural. If it wasn't for me and my mother, wouldn't we be busy for two more days, and we wouldn't be able to finish all the meat? It just so happens that they paid their wages yesterday."

Qin Zhao said with a smile, because he mentioned the matter of inviting someone, he remembered what Uncle Qitang said to her, and he had to remind her handsome father about this matter.

After all, even though Uncle Qitang told her about it, Qin Zhao felt that it was just a casual mention. Why would he discuss the matter with her, a little milk baby? It was sold by the uncle's family.

For things that she can't promise now, she has to make it clear with her handsome dad.

Because he told Yunrui and A Cai about Tuomeng, with such an excuse, Yun Zhao didn't have to hide it as much as before when he acted.Some things are easy to say, but it’s really not good, just continue to talk about things with Tuomeng.

Anyway, if you do too much, even if it is unreasonable, others will get used to it.Getting used to this thing is really both a bad thing and a good thing.
