The woman was afraid of wasting Ye Chuqiu's time, so she pushed the cart very fast. Even though she was sweating profusely, she didn't dare to stop for a moment. She was afraid that if she stopped, Ye Chuqiu would be annoyed with her for dragging her feet.
The afternoon sun hit her face, and the way she bent down to push the cart looked like the bronze figure Ye Chuqiu saw on the pedestrian street in her previous life.
Soon, the woman's home arrived.
Her home is halfway up a mountain, and you need to climb a slope to enter it.
While still at the bottom of the hillside, the woman called up, "Master, come here and help me."
Following her voice, a big yellow dog lying next to the firewood door quickly stood up and ran down the mountain. It seemed that it saw Ye Chuqiu, an outsider, and barked fiercely at her.
"Dahuang, don't rush into the distinguished guest."
Seeing Dahuang barking at Ye Chuqiu, the woman was a little anxious, for fear of irritating Ye Chuqiu. However, Ye Chuqiu smiled at Dahuang and lightly stamped his foot on the ground. Dahuang was frightened by her aura and whimpered.
, tail between legs, ran away.
"I heard that dogs have earthy hearts, and that's true." Ye Chuqiu turned to look at the woman and said with a smile.
"This dog..."
The woman also felt strange, but didn't think much about it, because she was only thinking about why her husband didn't come down to help her push the cart. She was afraid of wasting Ye Chuqiu's time, so she just said: "Otherwise, let's go up first.
"
After saying that, he had to push the car up with difficulty.
Pushing the cart previously had consumed a lot of her energy, but now that she was halfway up the slope, she was exhausted. She stopped and the cart filled with flowers was about to slide back.
She was hit by the force and fell to the ground. The car was about to slide down. When it ran over her, Ye Chuqiu on the side reached out and grabbed the handle of the cart. The woman breathed a sigh of relief and did not bother to stand up. She just looked at
I touched a stone on the ground and placed it behind the wheel.
Then he got up and grabbed the handle of the car. Tongye Chuqiu bent down deeply and said, "Thank you, madam."
"No need to thank you, I'll help you."
Ye Chuqiu said something and easily helped her push the car to the door of her house.
The woman immediately looked at Ye Chuqiu with dumbfounded eyes. She did not expect that the seemingly weak lady next to her could have such strength.
"Okay, can you take me to see the saplings now?" Ye Chuqiu said.
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment. I'll go into the room and get you a glass of water."
As the woman spoke, she opened the firewood door, invited Ye Chuqiu into the house, and then went in to make tea for her.
"I told you a long time ago, don't work around all day long. People nowadays don't have enough to eat. How can they have spare money to buy flowers? Sure enough, not a single pot of flowers has been sold."
At this moment, a man's rough voice came from the door, "You should go to the city less often. If you are infected with the plague and are arrested, you will be in trouble."
Ye Chuqiu took a look and saw a middle-aged man walking in. Seeing that there were outsiders in the room, he was stunned for a moment. The woman had already walked out, "Who said I didn't sell them today? I have all these flowers today."
Once it’s sold, this lady is the buyer.”
The woman said to him proudly: "This lady wants to buy more saplings, so I will bring her to my house."
"Really?" The man looked at Ye Chuqiu and then at the woman, still a little in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. They followed me all the way here, how can it be false?" The woman said happily: "Let me tell you, you have to be diligent in doing business. If I don't work diligently today, I won't meet anyone."
Here comes the buyer.”
After saying that, she said to Ye Chuqiu: "Madam, please wait a moment, the tea will be ready soon."
She was thirsty, so a ladle of well water was enough, but Ye Chuqiu was an honored guest, so of course she had to make tea for him.
"No need to bother. I'm just here to buy fruit seedlings. It's getting late. I want to buy fruit seedlings quickly and go home as soon as possible."
"Then why are you so embarrassed? You came all the way here, I can't even give you a sip of water."
"It doesn't matter." Ye Chuqiu said, and took out a cowhide bag from his arms, "Look, I brought water."
"Since you are in a hurry, I will take you there first." The man said, and then said to the woman: "It's the same thing if you boil the water first."
The man said, got up and took Ye Chuqiu to the nursery.
Their family grew a lot of flowers and plants in the backyard, and of course there were fruit trees. While leading Ye Chuqiu to look at the nursery, the man said, "We had more fruit seedlings before, but this year it rained heavily, and many seedlings died.
Seedling."
"Yeah." Ye Chuqiu responded and asked, "How do you sell these fruit seedlings?"
"It's not expensive. Most of them cost two or three cents a plant. In previous years, we would sell them for four or five cents a plant. This year's harvest is not good, so we sell them cheaply." The man said with some distress.
The economy in Dunchuan has not been very good in recent years. The people don't even have food to eat. How can they find the time to buy this? The prices of their fruit seedlings, flowers and trees have been reduced for several years in a row. He has worked hard to take care of these mountains every day, but he can't even get enough.
I can't even eat enough.
Fortunately, in addition to fruit seedlings, there are also many fruit trees planted at home. Every year, the family can sell a lot of fruit and earn some money from the odd bits and pieces.
The man was talking nonchalantly to Ye Chuqiu. Compared to his wife, he was obviously much more talkative.
Ye Chuqiu didn't answer, but walked to the nursery silently. After looking at all the nurseries, she didn't say anything. The man couldn't help but feel disappointed. Could it be that she didn't plan to buy it?
"Madam, please don't look at my fruit seedlings. They look a bit shabby. This is a problem with the rain this year. They will be very strong if you raise them." The man said, "Buy them back and wait for them to grow for a few years before they will bear fruit."
Already."
"Do you want to plant these fruit seedlings?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
The man was silent for a moment. They didn't have this service before, but he was also a quick thinker. He immediately said: "As long as you buy more, I can plant them for you."
"How much can I buy for planting?" Ye Chuqiu asked again.
"Twenty plants... no, ten plants will do," the man said.
"Then I'll buy them all, you can estimate the price." Ye Chuqiu said calmly.
"Bought them all?" The man didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes, I bought them all. You should prepare them. You said they will be planted. There are so many fruit seedlings, which is not a small amount."
Ye Chuqiu said and handed him two taels of silver, "My family lives in Qiuye Mountain. I will deliver the goods before tomorrow. Is there any problem?"
"No... no problem." The man nodded quickly, his face full of ecstasy, but he didn't forget to put the silver in his mouth and bite it to see if it was genuine.
Ye Chuqiu smiled and walked down the mountain. The man quickly stopped her and said, "Madam, my mother-in-law has already boiled the tea. Do you want to drink the tea before leaving?"
"No."
After that, she scared the big yellow dog who was looking at her from a distance and strode down the mountain.
Before I knew it, the sun had set.
On the way home, she also had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind. Dunchuan was really chaotic now, but even in the face of all kinds of difficulties, many people were still living hard.
Alas, it's like these two taels of silver, in the hands of the rich, are just a waste of two cups of tea, but in the homes of ordinary people, they are a huge sum of money, which can cover their expenses for a year.
.
Back home, the vendors had already delivered the things Ye Chuqiu had bought. When Zhao Hehua saw Ye Chuqiu coming back, while giving her hot water to wash her hands, she asked, "Mom, why did you buy so many things today?"
?”
"When I saw someone buying it, I felt good, so I bought them all. Since we have a lot of family members, we can finish them all, so it's considered a good deed." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Mom, you really have a bodhisattva heart."
"By the way, have those chickens and ducks been delivered? I originally wanted to buy two lambs, but I didn't see anyone selling them today." Ye Chuqiu added.
"They are all delivered. I keep them in the backyard, but did you buy too many chickens and ducks?" Zhao Hehua said.
"It's not much. The back mountain is so big. I think I bought too little. But there aren't many people selling in the city, otherwise I would have to sell more." Ye Chuqiu said, she really felt that Dunchuan City
It's too depressed and there's no room for business.
She just wants to make a fortune by doing business, but with Dunchuan City like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
"Oh, that's it."
Zhao Hehua responded, thinking that if she had to sell braised meat, do housework, and raise so many chickens, ducks, and geese, she would not be able to handle it, but she did not dare to tell Ye Chuqiu.
He nodded and said, "I will definitely take good care of them."
"Yeah." Ye Chuqiu nodded, wiped his hands on the handkerchief, and asked, "What are you going to eat tonight?"
"I cooked fish for dinner, as well as bamboo shoots, and several kinds of braised meat. I specially added more peppers. Mom, you should like it."
"Well, I love it the most." Ye Chuqiu replied, Zhao Hehua hasn't made braised meat for a long time, which will make Ye Chuqiu eager to eat when he thinks about it.
When the food was finally served, she unexpectedly found Dr. An walking over with Xie Liancan. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Oh, it's you. Didn't you say you were going to Huangtian Village? Why didn't you go?"
"It's so good for me to eat and drink here for free, why should I go to Huangtian Village and suffer." Xie Liancan snorted lightly.
"Eating and drinking for free, you have a beautiful idea. In the future, you can either work with my big tiger, or go to school with my four tigers, or you can practice martial arts well. Don't end up, at such a young age, even I am an old woman.
Can't win."
Ye Chuqiu teased. In fact, she was very happy to see him. Finally, he had lived up to her trust.
"Just wait and see, I will definitely be better than you."
Xie Liancan said again, he was thinking, I will be here from now on, eating your food, learning your kung fu, and then defeat you.
People who practice martial arts will lose their vitality when they reach the age of forty. If I wait for a few more years, how can you defeat me by then?
Ye Chuqiu didn't know what Xie Liancan was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. Time is the best medicine. Xie Liancan doesn't want to go back to Huangtian Village now, and he won't be able to go back to Huangtian Village in the future. Because of Huangtian Village, sooner or later, she will
It is to destroy them.
How can I tolerate a ruthless bandit next to my bed?
