Chapter 47: Visit Yang Datou
Chapter 47 Visiting Yang Datou
The children couldn't stay any longer after watching it for a while, and ran into the mountains one after another, continuing to be busy making money.
When they came back after dark, everyone was tired. The room was dark, and they didn't go in. When they got up early the next morning, they were sent out to work by Jiang Ning. When they were free, they discovered that the walls of the two rooms had all been painted. It was gray-white, bright and clean, and they didn't even dare to enter.
Yang Santie looked at Jiang Ning with frighteningly bright eyes, "Mom, this is our new home, right?"
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded heavily at him.
Yang Erdan stood at the door and rubbed his hands in excitement, "Mom, this house is cleaner than mine. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live in it!"
Jiang Ning laughed loudly, "Then wait until you move in to feel it!"
A group of people saw the effect of the new house and felt that the hard work was worth it.
In order for the whole family to live in a new house before winter, the children gritted their teeth and continued working, but in five or six days they saved up a batch of adobe bricks.
Old man Yang received the news and immediately came to help.
This time they did not call Yang Yong, but Old Man Yang, Yang Erdan and Yang Santie worked together. Although it was a little slower, they could save some labor.
Old man Yang seems to have found a target. He runs to Jiangning every day as soon as he opens his eyes. His relationship with Yang Erdan and the others has improved a lot.
Ms. Qian looked on with cold eyes, gritted his teeth angrily, and shouted: "If dad doesn't come to help us when we build the house, I won't do it!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and said, "It's easy! Just give me money!"
Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and her voice became sharper, "Aniang! Dad still needs money to build a house for his son?"
"Otherwise? The families have been separated! Brothers have to settle accounts clearly! Your sister-in-law gives your father ten cents a day and takes care of his two meals. If you can give him ten cents a day and take care of one meal, he will definitely If you don't tell me, he will have to go!" Mr. Li said with a playful look on his face.
Qian's face suddenly grew long, "Who knows if my sister-in-law has given money to my father? What if you fooled me?"
Li Shi sneered and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Lao San's family, can you tell me if it's true?"
When Zhou's name was called, he quickly came out to confirm Li's words.
Qian was so angry that she stamped her feet and asked, "How can my sister-in-law be rich?"
Li shrugged, "You don't have to worry about it now! Although the boss is gone, he still has a big head! You can make money for the family!"
Ms. Qian also heard the news that Yang Datou went out to work, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She was just a stupid young man, what kind of money-making job could he find! Now it seems that she was wrong!
Thinking of this, Qian's eyes immediately rolled, and she ran to the east of the village to find Jiang Ning to inquire about the news. She stayed in the yard and refused to leave. In the end, Jiang Ning was so annoyed that she almost made a move before she reluctantly left.
Jiang Ning was so angry that he shouted: "We need to get a dog at home, so that no unscrupulous people can come in!"
Old man Yang listened silently and his mouth twitched slightly. He just pretended not to know and continued to work with his grandson.
After building a house was on track, Jiang Ning remembered Yang Datou who was far away in Songxi Town. He didn't know how the child was doing during this period.
When this thought came to her, she couldn't sit still. The next day, she said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, I plan to go see Datou and bring him something. It's quite far there. It takes two or three days to come back." , the family has been troublesome for you in the past few days. "
When Old Man Yang heard that it was about his eldest grandson, it was an important matter that should not be taken carelessly. He immediately patted his chest and promised: "You can go out with peace of mind. There are old men here who can see that there will be no problems. Also, you said you wanted to raise a dog before, but we don't have any in our village. But there is one in Songshu Village next door. I heard that a black dog just gave birth to four puppies this month. If you want me to bring one back, you have to give them something."Jiang Ning nodded repeatedly, "Ah. Dad will order one for me and take the kids there to choose. I will prepare whatever they need to give to them.”
Old man Yang mused: "It's not too troublesome. Sometimes just give me a few vegetables or some food."
Jiang Ning knew that raising a cat in ancient times was called marrying a cat, and there were as many rules as marrying a wife. Although raising a dog was not so grand, it was still meaningful. She immediately ran to the other end of the river ditch, pulled up a few fish baskets, and Take a bucket home.
“Dad! How much of these things do you think is appropriate?” Jiang Ning gasped.
Old man Yang came over to take a look and laughed, "There is no need to use so many, just take these two palm-sized crucian carps and exchange them."
Jiang Ning felt a little shabby, so he went into the mountains to get a basket of ripe wild fruits for Old Man Yang to send over.
After arranging things at home, she went out with a pile of melon seeds, dried melon seeds and a bag of mushrooms that she had recently saved.
Liu Ye and Yang Erdan helped transport the things to the river ditch and watched Jiang Ning get on the fishing boat before going back.
It was dusk when Jiang Ning arrived in Songxi Town, and Linjiang Inn was busy.
Shopkeeper Hua was currently serving as a waiter in the lobby taking orders for guests. When he saw Jiang Ning, he immediately ran over and asked, "Why is the big girl here?"
Jiang Ning pointed at the pile of things and said, "Come here to deliver the goods and take a look at Big Tou. Is he okay?"
"Okay, okay! You go directly to the kitchen. I'll ask the waiter to weigh the things and send the money to you." Shopkeeper Hua said and continued to work.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and left only the melon seeds and mushrooms. She took the sixty kilograms of trichosanthes directly to the drug store and sold it. There weren't many in Songxi Town. Trichosanthes was not common here, and the price charged was higher than Hong Kong's. Antang had one more penny, and sixty kilograms were sold for three hundred and sixty pence.
By the time she returned to Linjiang Inn, Shopkeeper Hua was already free and looking through the things she had brought.
Seeing Jiang Ning come in, the flower shopkeeper hurriedly said: "We have just weighed it. One hundred catties of melon seeds is equivalent to seven hundred coins. The other bag is for mushrooms! I can't collect them here for the time being."
The flower shopkeeper is in a bit of a dilemma.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm here to see how Du Tou is cooking, and teach him two new dishes by the way. Since mushrooms are used, I brought them. If Shopkeeper Hua thinks it's inappropriate, forget it. "
When Shopkeeper Hua heard this, she was immediately excited and immediately made a gesture of inviting her, "It's suitable, why is it not suitable? Sister, let's go!"
Jiang Ning picked up the mushrooms and went into the kitchen. Seeing that Yang Datou was concentrating on cooking with methodical movements, he watched silently.
Yang Datou finished his work and was about to take a drink of water. When he turned around and saw Jiang Ning, he was overjoyed and said, "Aniang! Why are you here?"
"Let me see you! How do you feel about teaching you two more dishes by the way?" Jiang Ning looked at him lovingly.
Yang Datou grinned, "Very good! Although I am tired! But I have something to do every day and it is very fulfilling. Do you think I have gained some weight?"
Of course Jiang Ning noticed the changes in Yang Datou and became more and more satisfied with Shopkeeper Hua.
He immediately took some mushrooms and soaked them, and said: "This time I will teach you a shrimp and white jade mushroom stew, using this kind of crab-flavored mushrooms. This dish is very simple, but the key is to make the broth. Mushrooms and hens are needed.”
