Chapter 22 Stamps of 1980
Chapter 22 Stamps from 1980
When Jiang Lu found Zhou Chunhe on the river beach, the man was soaking himself in the river water and stabbing himself.
"Zhou Chunhe, you're crazy!" Jiang Lu shouted from the shore. It was still a cold spring time and the wind was strong by the river. She could feel the cold wind hitting her neck after standing for a while.
Zhou Chunhe was sweating all over from his work. He was having a good swim in the river and taking a bath when he heard his wife calling him, so he responded: "Hey! It's here."
"Come up quickly." Jiang Lu waved.
Zhou Chunhe went ashore.
Walking up to him, Jiang Lu punched him with his fist, "Which song is this from?"
Zhou Chunhe smiled playfully, "Are you worried?"
"You just don't want to make it easy for me, do you?"
"I never thought about it this way, but seeing you like this makes me feel quite good."
Jiang Lu was beaten again.
"Why don't you go back to eat?"
"I worked so hard that I lost track of time. Look," Zhou Chunhe pointed his finger over, "I pulled them all out."
Jiang Lu looked along his hand and saw that there was indeed a plowed land on the other side of the river beach.
"You've been digging around here for most of the day?"
"Isn't that right? I said I won't let you and the child suffer."
Jiang Lu couldn't laugh or cry, "When food comes out from your land, my children and I will starve to death."
"No nonsense!" Zhou Chunhe warned.
Jiang Lu smiled, "Do you really want to make money?"
"Nonsense." Zhou Chunhe pulled out a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth.
"Then you have to change your thinking. You can't make a fortune just by farming."
"What idea?" Zhou Chunhe asked casually.
"Don't farm, be a self-employed person and do your own business."
"Are you crazy? We finally got the land this year and we stopped planting it?" Zhou Chunhe couldn't believe that her daughter-in-law would say such wasteful words. They had been waiting for the land for how many years.
"Your strengths are not here. No matter how hard you work on a few acres of land, you won't be able to produce flowers." Jiang Lu said.
"Then what do you think my strengths are?" Zhou Chunhe stared at Jiang Lu's body eagerly.
Jiang Lu glanced at this guy and guessed what he was thinking. She moved silently. They said that working and exercising can make men excited. She has learned it now, but this one in their family is too strong.
Just stay?
Zhou Chunhe also moved over.
"Stand there and don't move." Jiang Lu subconsciously held his belly, even though his belly wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy yet.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you." Zhou Chunhe saw through his mind and simply said clearly, "I just want to hear what you say about my strengths."
"Don't you have the strength? Growing vegetables is not your forte, so why not sell vegetables?"
"What dish?" Zhou Chunhe didn't understand.
"It's just pouring vegetables to sell." Jiang Lu explained.
Zhou Chunhe smiled, "You bitch, the few vegetables we grow in the fields are not enough for you to eat. Where can I buy them?"
"Look at this large fertile land. When the sky and the earth warm up, it will be full of green vegetables. Can't you see?" Jiang Lu had already thought of it. Now that he has no money, he can't make big business, so he has to accumulate some.
Wangjiaba Village has no other original capital. The land is good. With good land, good vegetables can be produced. If you collect the vegetables from the villagers and sell them to the city, you can always make more money than just farming the land.
Zhou Chunhe slapped his thigh and immediately gave his wife a wet sip on her face, "Daughter-in-law, you are really capable. Why didn't I notice it before? I heard that I don't care about it anymore now."
"I told you I came from time travel."
"Then I am from an alien planet." Zhou Chunhe said in amusement. His concept of aliens came from people who had heard about them once or twice on the street, leaving an impression on him. He thought aliens were the names of stars, something like that.
On Altair and Vega.
Jiang Lu didn't defend herself, and she couldn't prove it herself. It would be better if he didn't take it seriously, so as not to scare him.
"Let's do it like this." Zhou Chunhe was so excited that he dropped the hoe in his hand like a fool.
"But this land was finally opened, so don't waste it and plant it." Jiang Lu said.
"Ah, you still want to plant?" Zhou Chunhe deflated.
A week later, Sheng Rong came to pick up the clothes and brought a box of chocolates to Jiang Lu, "Even if it's my engagement candy, don't dislike it."
"No way, such a good thing." Jiang Lu said with a smile. You can't buy it in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside, and even in the county town.
"Have you ever eaten this?" Sheng Rong asked in surprise.
As soon as the words came out, he felt inappropriate and hurriedly explained: "I mean many people are not used to eating this stuff."
"I think I've eaten it before, a long time ago, it was pretty good." Not only have I eaten it, but I've eaten a lot of it, Jiang Lu thought.
When Sheng Rong heard this, he felt that Jiang Lu was even more unfathomable.
"I have something to trouble you with."
"Please say."
"Introduce business to me." Jiang Lu smiled.
"Of course, that's natural. Your clothes are beautiful and comfortable to wear, even if you open a store." Sheng Rong praised.
"You have to have that kind of money, right? We are farmers who depend on the weather, so opening a store is not an easy task." Jiang Lu said.
"I understand, but it all depends on man-made efforts. There is still hope."
"Then I'd like to lend you some good words, and I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, with the music of the piano and the harp playing in harmony."
After hearing this, Sheng Rong was stunned for a moment, then his smile suddenly returned, "It's true that a master doesn't show his face."
Jiang Lu smiled awkwardly. The words "qinse" and "ming" shouldn't be said.
After sending Sheng Rong away, Jiang Lu only had ten dollars in his pocket, and he felt more confident about walking.
Zhou Chunhe came out of the house with a dark face. Even though his wife had vaccinated him in advance, he still felt very unhappy when he heard the two chattering.
"You have people introduce you to business, and you still want to continue doing it?"
"Eavesdropping is not something a gentleman would do." Jiang Lu was in a good mood and opened the chocolate in his hand.
"Why am I eavesdropping in my own home? What kind of thing is this?" Zhou Chunhe looked at the thing and saw that it was very dark.
"Good food, want to eat one?" Jiang Lu handed over a piece.
Zhou Chunhe always obeyed his wife's advice and threw it into his mouth without thinking.
The next second he vomited it out again, "It tastes too bad, it's bitter."
"It's not a good taste." Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Chunhe's funny behavior and took a bite himself, "Isn't it delicious?"
"Daughter-in-law, are you sure this thing is really edible?"
"Don't you think I'm fine?"
"I just want you not to eat it. Who knows if you might eat bad people."
"Put your heart in your stomach and follow me back to your parents' house in the afternoon."
"Oh, ah? Are you going back?"
"Go back and get something." Jiang Lu said calmly. She remembered that the original owner had a hobby of collecting stamps. She didn't know if those stamps were still there. She went back to try her luck. If there were those stamps from 1980, even one, she would
It’s not a waste of time to experience something.
"Okay, I'll go back after dinner." Zhou Chunhe said nothing.
