Chapter 9 Rewards

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "Stop talking! Go and see your elder brother quickly!"

Even though she doesn’t like the Jiang family, the thirty-five yuan they lent them is genuine, and she can’t do such a thing even with their help and speaking ill of them behind their backs.

When Zhang shouted, everyone diverted their attention.

Jiang Ning and Yang Datou went to the grain store to buy some food before leaving the town.

After returning home, the other children were even more excited to know that all the melon seeds were sold. They were going to Qingfeng Mountain to harvest melon seeds under the sun. When Jiang Ning thought of the one hundred cash deposit, he felt so stressed that he couldn't even take care of the thatched shed. .

The whole family went to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain to pick melons. It was not the time when the melons were ripe yet, so they had to work hard to find the ones that were overripe and rotten. The whole family kept picking until it was almost dark. , after all the people working in the fields left, I began to transport the melons home. After three or four trips in a row, I finally sent all the melons home.

Jiang Ning drank a large mouthful of spring water and gasped: "We have almost picked all the ripe melons at the foot of the mountain, and the rest will have to wait for about half a month before we can pick them. I asked the medicine boy at the medical center today, Hong'antang collects dried melons and it costs five cents per catty. From now on, when you go to the mountains, you will mainly focus on picking the ripe fresh melons. Remember, no one is allowed to tell anyone about this matter. Whether we can live in a house for the winter will matter. Pointing at these melons."

When the children heard this, they immediately nodded seriously. Even the youngest Yang Sizhuang and Yang Xiaoya patted their chests and promised not to tell anyone.

In fact, they didn't have the chance to talk about it. Thanks to the reputation of the original owner, the children had no friends at all in the village. They were all just brothers who played by themselves. Yang Datou had three or two friends because of his honest and honest temperament. Today's Yang Xiao is one of them. Yang Erdan only has one little friend.

Yang Santie was at the age when he was naughty and mischievous. Children in the village were afraid of him and would not play with him, let alone Yang Sizhuang and Yang Xiaoya. They were Yang Santie's followers.

Yang Santie is a clever kid, but with him around, Jiang Ning doesn't have to worry about the two little ones spilling their beans.

After Jiang Ning explained, he began to direct the children to work. The whole family was busy until midnight and made a total of fifty kilograms of melon seeds. Yang Santie was so excited that Jiang Ning said that he couldn't sleep. Thinking of the food in the house, he said: "Auntie, eldest brother, second brother" Brother, I will help repair the hay shed at home tomorrow, is it okay if I don’t go to the mountains?”

Jiang Ning didn't even open his eyes and said, "Okay, you go cut some thatch, and Erdan will get some bamboo. Let's tie bamboo on all sides of the thatched shed as much as possible, block it with thatched grass, and live in it until winter comes." It should be fine before the snow starts. When the hay shed is ready and free, you can save adobe blocks. By autumn, you should be able to build two houses.

There are also these two broken rooms. The stove room must be unusable, and the other one can be tidied up to store things. It just needs to get a new wooden door. Which of you can do it? "

Yang Erdan said weakly: "Auntie, I can give it a try."

“You can still do this?” Jiang Ning was a little surprised.

Yang Erdan laughed naively and said: "I used to play at the third uncle's house and studied with Fu Guang from the third uncle's house for a while, but I was young at that time and the third uncle wouldn't let me touch those things. I went to the mountains to chop wood by myself and learned from Fu Guang. It should be fine if you borrow a saw.”

Jiang Ning was overjoyed, "Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect that my mother-in-law is so awesome! I will make money to buy you delicious food tomorrow!"

This sudden motherly love surprised Yang Erdan, and even Yang Datou was a little bit disgusted. Yang Santie even shouted: "Mom, I worked hard too, I picked most of the melons and fenugreeks!" "

“I picked it too!” Yang Sizhuang and Yang Xiaoya echoed.

Jiang Ning Dale said, "Okay, okay, you are all very good, and you will all be rewarded!" Several children made a happy fuss, and soon they all fell asleep.

The next day, Jiang Ning and Yang Datou set out before dawn. When they arrived at the Dashan Inn, they told the shopkeeper that Li Changsheng came to trade with them in person. He was overjoyed to learn that there were fifty kilograms of melon seeds, but he was disappointed when he heard that there would be no goods tomorrow. , but the money they were supposed to give was not a penny less, and they were repeatedly told that if they still had melon seeds, they could send them directly to the Dashan Inn.

This is really a happy event for Jiang Ning. Apart from other things, at least she has a stable and big customer, and she is not afraid of unsalable even if she sells several hundred kilograms of melon seeds.

The mother and son collected the balance and started walking around the town. There were five days left before the big fair, and the town was deserted. They simply went to wander around the alleys, and they actually met a salesman walking in the streets.

The goods of the salesman were quite complete, and the price was cheaper than those in the shop. Jiang Ning chose some needlework and bought a pair of scissors for fifty cents. It happened that the salesman had a few pieces of defective material, which was thicker than ordinary linen. It can be used to make autumn clothes. One foot of this kind of material costs fifteen cents, so he sells it for ten cents. That flaw is not a problem at all in Jiang Ning's eyes, but it's a pity that she doesn't have enough coins.

She had no choice but to turn her mind to the things in the system. After trying to get rid of Yang Datou, she asked in a low voice: "Can I exchange it for something?"

The salesman narrowed his eyes slightly and said unhappily, "Madam, what I do is a small business, and ordinary things cannot be exchanged!"

“I have honey here, do you want to change it?”

The salesman was still thinking about how to refuse, but he became uneasy after hearing the honey.

“Is there really honey?” Honey is a good thing. It is marketable but priceless. The supply exceeds the demand. One tael can be sold for thirty cash.

Jiang Ning pretended to be searching in the backpack, but actually put the can from the space into the backpack. There was still one of the two cans he bought before, which just came in handy.

She directly put two kilograms of honey into the jar. The salesman's eyes almost popped out when he saw the stuff, "It's really honey! OK! Madam, I'll trade with you! But I'm just a salesman, so I can't pay too much." The price, do you think it’s one or two and twenty yuan?”

become! Why not? What she was best at before traveling through time was making pastries, such as honeycomb cakes, which require a lot of honey. There is at least fifty kilograms of honey stored in the system. Currently, this thing is of no use, and she doesn't feel bad selling it for two kilograms.

Two kilograms of honey was worth four hundred cents. She asked for three feet of materials. After carefully piecing them together, she could make autumn clothes for the whole family. The remaining one hundred cents she asked for was a pair of copper locks.

Yang Datou was taking a walk at the entrance of the alley. When he saw the salesman and Jiang Ning coming out, he didn't ask much. It wasn't until the salesman walked away that he looked at her basket curiously, "Auntie, did you just exchange something with the salesman again?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "I changed three feet of material and a pair of copper locks. I will lock the door of that room when it is ready. From now on, I will put the food inside."

Yang Datou smiled like a fat man of 200 pounds, feeling very happy. He had only worn new clothes a few times in his life. They were all old clothes worn by his father and grandpa. He was really desperate. He made a set of clothes for him to wear for at least three to five years. As for his younger brothers and sisters, they all wore his old clothes. They didn't even wear new clothes.
