Shen Qiuqiu sent the price of strawberries and some precautions for picking strawberries to Shen Jiashu's mobile phone, and gave him a few more instructions before letting them go out.

Watching the two of them leave, Grandma Shen said with a smile, "Xiaoshu and Xiaona are now grown children, and can help the family."

After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu felt a little aggrieved and whispered, "Why don't I go with you? I can learn from them."

Grandma Shen didn't want to spoil her, so she said, "Why are there so many people there? I'm not afraid of being crowded; there is a lot of work at home, so you should stay at home and help."

"Oh..." Shen Xiu responded dully.

When the two women were talking, Shen Qiuqiu didn't interrupt and silently turned back to the room.

She found the same work clothes as Li Meixiang's from the closet and put them on, and tied her hair up with a headband with a net bag.

Needless to say, this kind of Chinese-style uniform looks pretty good when worn, and it doesn’t look rustic at all.

After Shen Qiuqiu changed her clothes and came out of the room, Grandma Shen also praised her, "Hey, you look pretty good in these clothes."

Wang Weidong's wife, who had just entered the house, also said, "She is quite good-looking. Other people's clothes complement others, and Xiaohua complements their clothes. If a person is good-looking, he will look good no matter what clothes he wears."

The name Xiaohua is really right, but doesn’t it just look like a flower?”

Shen Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed by her praise, so she said hello to them and left in a hurry.

On the way to Li Datou's house, they met Wang Lijun's truck.

The truck stopped slowly. Yang Yanhong rolled down the window and greeted Shen Qiuqiu, "Guohua, what are you going to do dressed like this?"

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said, "Go be a waiter."

"Why are you a waiter? You're obviously going to be the boss." Yang Yanhong couldn't help laughing, and added, "When we were about to come out, Uncle Big Tou had already stewed the meat, and the aroma wafted to my house. Haodu was so greedy that he hugged my mother’s neck and shouted that he wanted to eat meat.”

Shen Qiuqiu also laughed, "Uncle Big Tou's cooking is really delicious."

Yang Yanhong asked again, "Today is the weekend. There should be a lot of customers coming for lunch, right? I'll ask my mother to set up a stall in the canteen to sell some preserved goods and eggs, okay?"

"Of course." Shen Qiuqiu nodded and couldn't help but praise her, "You are quite business-minded, and your little abacus makes a lot of noise."

Yang Yanhong grinned, "Hey, it's all for life."

Wang Lijun glanced at the time on the dashboard and couldn't help urging her in a low voice, "It's getting late. If we don't go there, we won't get a good seat."

Yang Yanhong quickly waved goodbye to Shen Qiuqiu, "Let's leave now. I'll go see you another day. I'm on my way to set up a stall in front of your strawberry field."

The pickup truck started slowly. After walking for a short distance, Wang Lijun stepped on the accelerator, causing Yang Yanhong to exclaim, "Slow down, you're in a hurry to get reincarnated!"

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head and laughed, and continued walking along the road to Li Datou's house.

As expected, Li Datou was stewing meat, and you could smell the aroma of meat from a long distance away.

The door was open, and Shen Qiuqiu went in directly.

After bypassing Zhaobi and entering the courtyard, the fragrance became even stronger.

You can still vaguely hear the crying of children coming from the yard next door.

Shen Qiuqiu couldn't stop laughing. She couldn't help but wonder, is this the reality that makes the kids next door cry? Sure enough, the jokes come from real life.

When Li Datou saw him coming, he quickly came out to greet him, "Xiaohua, why are you here so early?"

Shen Qiuqiu pointed to the corner, "There are still a few pots of flowers in the corner over there, the paintings in the private room haven't been finished yet, and there's the kitchen..."

Seeing that Li Datou was confused, Shen Qiuqiu stopped talking and said with a smile, "It's all trivial things. I'll just take care of them. You'd better go back to the kitchen and watch, and be careful." The meat is stewed."

Li Datou grinned, "Hey, I've been doing this for decades, and the stew has never burned the pot."

Although he said this, Li Datou did not dare to be careless. After saying a few more words, he hurried back to the kitchen.

Shen Qiuqiu first moved a few pots of flowers in the corner to the door of the private room, then went to the main room, took out the decorative paintings and some small ornaments that she had brought before, and decorated them one by one.

Around ten o'clock, Chen Jing and Grandma Chen came over with a cart to deliver tofu.

Two plates of tender tofu, a bucket of bean curd, and some wild vegetables.

One is old and the other is young, they look sallow and thin, looking frail.

When Li Datou saw it, he asked Li Jinbao to go over and help unload the things from the car.

Shen Qiuqiu knew that their grandparents and grandchildren were having a hard time, so he immediately settled the debt for them.

Tofu is not worth much, but Chen Jing dug up a lot of wild vegetables, including shepherd's purse, Chinese toon sprouts, walnut flowers, and spring bamboo shoots.

Shen Qiuqiu calculated the price for her based on the market price. The total of zeros and zeros added up to a total of one hundred and sixty-nine yuan.

It's not a lot of money, but it's not a small sum for the grandfather and grandson.

Grandma Chen tremblingly took the money from Shen Qiuqiu and counted it several times in disbelief.

"Why are there so many...Xiaohua, did you miscalculate? How can a little tofu be sold for so much money?"

Shen Qiuqiu said with a smile, "Grandma Chen, you calculated correctly, here is not just tofu money, but also wild vegetable money.

These wild vegetables dug by Jingjing are all very good. You don’t know that now people in the city like to eat wild vegetables from our countryside. Some wild vegetables are more expensive than meat. In some places, toona buds like this are sold for more than 100 yuan a piece. It’s a pound.”

Grandma Chen's eyes widened in shock, "Oh my god, toon buds are so expensive."

Li Datou on the side smiled and said: "This thing can only be eaten a few days a year, so it is normal to sell it more expensively."

Afraid of affecting their work, Grandma Chen and Chen Jing stayed for a short while and then left.

Looking at the thin backs of his grandfather and grandson, Li Datou sighed and couldn't help but cursed, "Chen Tugou is really not a fucking thing."

Shen Qiuqiu gave him a confused look.

Li Datou realized that he had said dirty words and quickly shut up.

But Li Jinbao couldn't help but ask, "Dad, who is Chen Tugou?"

Li Datou felt that there was nothing he could not say about this matter, so he told several children about Chen Tugou.

Chen Tugou, whose nickname is Chen Xiangtao, is Grandma Chen’s son and Chen Jing’s father.

A few years ago, Chen Xiangtao and his wife went out to work and never returned, nor did they send a penny to their families.

There were rumors in the village that there had been no news from the couple for so many years, and they might have died outside long ago.

Li Datou also accidentally heard from people in the next village that he knew that Chen Tugou and his wife were still alive. They had separated a long time ago, remarried each other, and had children.

For them, the old mother and young daughter staying in Qinghe Village were a burden, and they naturally did not want to take care of them anymore.

They were wandering in the big city and did not want to return to this small mountain village in the remote mountains, so they simply cut off contact with their families.
