Chapter 25 Fruits all over the mountains and plains

Zhang Ying saw Aunt Zhou's bad expression and hurriedly explained, "Aunt Zhou, my Xiao Xi has studied medicine."

Aunt Zhou’s complexion didn’t look much better. After all, no one wants to hear someone say that they have a physical problem, but she still asked one more question, “So, can you tell me what’s wrong with me?”

"Your problem should be with your lungs. Aunt Zhou, I still say the same thing. You'd better go and see...how many spicy strips Aunt Wang bought today." Ning Xi replied with a smile and turned to greet other guests. .

After the remaining spicy strips were sold, the two of them packed their baskets and left. They were going to Zhenghua Garment Factory today. Lu Xu asked someone to bring a message to her and Zhang Ying for lunch in the morning. The few orchids she dug were sold. went.

Zhou Hui has already prepared the meal, and the family is waiting for the two of them to have lunch. When the two of them come in, Zhou Hui hurriedly greets them to wash their hands and eat.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhenghua put a few spicy dried fish in his mouth, swallowed it and took a sip of wine. The dried fish was really good for drinking. "Yingzi, Xiaoxi, how is your business?"

“Sure! The workers in our factory all say that the dried fish and spicy strips you make are delicious.” Chen Jing picked up some dried fish.

Zhang Ying raised her mouth happily, "Yeah! It's pretty good."

Lu Xu took a sip of wine and asked aloud, "Xiao Xi, did you buy the seasonings at the farmer's market? I know a supplier, and the price should be cheaper than at the farmer's market."

"Really, please help me introduce it to you, brother." Ning Xi has been thinking about where to find cheaper channels to buy seasonings to reduce costs these days. She didn't expect Lu Xu to help her solve it so quickly.

Lu Xu smiled and replied, "I'll call him later."

Lu Zhenghua asked again, "Has your father gone back?"

“I went back yesterday.”

After dinner, Lu Xu took out 60 yuan and handed it to Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi, this is the money from selling orchid grass."

“Orchid grass is so valuable?” Zhang Ying knew how many orchids Ning Xi had dug up. How many leaves could it be sold for?

Lu Xu smiled and said, "Three of the orchid plants that Xiao Xi dug were in very good condition. I bought those three for 50 yuan. The others were worthless groceries and I gave them 10 yuan together."

"Thank you, brother." Ning Xi accepted the money and took out some drawings to ask Chen Jing to ask the workers to help make some sets of shirts and trousers.

"Did you design it yourself?" Chen Jing opened the drawings. The first drawing was a style drawing, which showed a shirt and a pair of trousers. The shirt and trousers were both regular styles, and they were not very different from what they made. , the next two are samples. "I know how to make patterns. Is there anything else you can't do, girl? But why are you making shirts and trousers for yourself?"

Chen Jing thought this dress was made for herself...

She actually made these clothes for Lu Nan. Shirts in this era are mostly loose. How loose can they be?

For example, one of Lu Nan's shirts was loose enough to hold her and him inside. Every time she saw Lu Nan wearing a shirt, she had the urge to take it off him.

In order to make him wear nice clothes, she would give Lu Nan acupuncture every day. While waiting for the needle to be taken out, she would pick up a pen and draw a drawing. After the drawing was done, she kept it on her body just so that she could find time to bring the drawing over to Chen Jing and the others. Help make it.

As for why she can draw drawings and make boards.

It was all for Jin'er. She felt endless guilt about her two children. She turned all her guilt into love and gave it to Jin'er.

Jin'er's health was not good, so she devoted herself to studying medicine day and night to take care of Jin'er's health.

Jin'er saw that other children were greedy for snacks, so she followed the recipe in the snack packaging bag and used the available ingredients around her to make replica snacks for her daughter. Jin'er was envious of other children's beautiful dresses. She borrowed other people's dresses home and taught herself painting, pattern making, and sewing.

She has also learned many, many skills, all of which she learned for Jin'er.

Thinking of Jin'er, she subconsciously touched her belly. Her Jin'er and Nian'er would be fine in this life, and they would grow up happily under the care of her and Lu Nan.

He and Chen Jing went to the warehouse to select fabrics. Lu Xu drove the two of them to the condiment supplier's residence. Lu Xu had already negotiated the price with the other party. No matter how many condiments Ning Xi brought, she would calculate them at the wholesale price. , and as long as it’s more than 5 boxes, it will be delivered to your door for free.

There are not many condiments left at home, and Lu Xu happened to be sending them back today and bought a few boxes of condiments.

After leaving the supplier store, Lu Xu drove another way to Shanghe Village.

As she approached Shanghe Village, Ning Xi noticed a large fruit tree on the mountain not far away, which was covered with fruits, some green and some yellow.

“Second sister-in-law, what are the fruits on that mountain?” Because she couldn’t see clearly what fruits they were from a distance, Ning Xi remembered that Zhang Ying knew how to walk back to her parents’ home, so she should know what fruits they were.

Before Zhang Ying could speak, Lu Xu said, "It should be apricots. I remember that there are apricots, yellow peaches, and oranges planted on that mountain."

“Brother, do you know whose family it belongs to?” She didn’t even know about such a large fruit forest.

“That area is from Xiahe Village. I’m not sure whose family it belongs to. I only know that it belongs to the production team. At that time, many people from our village were seconded to help with planting.”

Zhang Ying took up Lu Xu's words and said, "That patch of fruit trees doesn't belong to anyone. I heard my dad mention it, and it seemed that the fruit grown in that patch didn't taste very good and couldn't be sold. When the team started contracting the land, no one mentioned it." The area that people were willing to take over was abandoned.”

"Brother, can you stop the car? I want to go up and have a look." Ning Xi looked at the fruit trees, her eyes shining, they are all money!

Zhang Ying spoke out to stop him, "Xiao Xi, those fruits are not delicious."

“Just go and have a look.”

Lu Xu drove the car over and stopped at the foot of the mountain. The three of them climbed up the mountain. When they stood on the mountain, Ning Xi realized how big this area was. The entire mountain was covered with fruit trees, including apricots, peaches, and oranges. All the fruit trees were After the fruit is harvested, the sight is simply spectacular and breathtaking.

She walked to an apricot tree, picked a yellow-orange apricot, broke it open and took a bite. A strong apricot flavor spread in her mouth, followed closely by a sour taste. It's so sour that it's hard to swallow.

Ning Xi frowned and quickly spat out the apricots.

Zhang Ying smiled unkindly, "I'm telling you, it's not delicious! I've picked oranges here before, and the smell can make your teeth sore."

“Second sister-in-law, let’s pick some and take them back. I have a way to make them delicious.” As she spoke, Ning Xi had already started picking apricots.

“It’s true or false.” Zhang Ying didn’t believe it.

“Really, brother, why don’t you go back first? It’s not far from Shanghe Village. My second sister-in-law and I will walk back in a while.”

“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you.” Lu Xu left his two sisters-in-law in the wilderness uneasy, and then walked over to help them pick apricots together.
