Xiang Jin originally calculated that it would take a week to vacate the stone area, but due to the recent heavy weather, it ended up taking almost half a month.
Looking at the large open space, which was three to four quarters of the land, and the neatly piled large and small rocks around it, the faces of the three women were filled with indescribable joy.
Xiang Nan first said, "Sister, we can build a very big house."
Xiang Jin nodded, "The room can be bigger."
Yang Juyun said, "As long as the house is as big as the house, we also need to build a pig pen and a cowshed in the back, as well as a place to stack firewood."
Xiang Jin said, "It's enough. It doesn't affect the layout and pattern of the house at all. One part of the land has sixty-seven square meters. There are nearly three hundred square meters here at least, so it's completely enough."
Besides, the bamboo shed that grandpa and uncle built for us next to it can also be used to stack firewood."
Xiang Nan said, "Sister, sister, then we must plant some flowers and plants around our house, just like what you drew in that picture."
Xiang Jin said, "Of course!"
Xiang Nan jumped up happily, "Yeah, our house will definitely be the most beautiful in the bay."
Xiang Jin turned to her mother and asked, "When did they start laying the foundation for us?"
Yang Juyun said, "They said that we can break off the corn on the Ma Di Den'er. I think the corn can be broken off in the next two days."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Yang Juyun added, "But let's take advantage of these two days to repair the road and try to make it pass the tractor."
Xiang Nan followed up and said, "We also need to drag back the branches and tips of the cypress branches we cut on the slope before. We don't want to leave them on the slope for too long. All the cypress branches on them will fall off.
It’s most convenient to start a fire in winter.”
Xiang Jin said, "I want to go to town and sell those medicinal materials. There are already a lot of them at home. If it's too late, I'm afraid they won't take them anymore when they have collected enough."
Yang Juyun said, "That's right, then, tomorrow morning I will go to the town with you to sell medicinal materials. Then in the afternoon I will go to the slope to tie up those cypress branches. The day after tomorrow we will build the road and start breaking the grain."
"Okay," Xiang Jin had no objection to this arrangement.
Xiang Jin climbed out of bed early the next morning, and then went out with the cow. He had to feed it first.
Then, after Yang Juyun put the rice in the pot for Xiang Nan, she also took advantage of the opportunity to go up the slope and bundle some firewood back.
After breakfast, the two women didn't bring anything with them. They just carried a basket of dried herbs and went to the market.
Xiang Nan really wanted to go, but he didn't let her go because they went to the street to do business and not just for fun. Finally, Xiang Jin promised her to bring her back two candies later, and the little girl gave up.
They arrived at Zaoerya and waited for a while before a car came.
The mother and daughter got in the car, and after arriving in the town, they went straight to the medicinal material purchasing point.
In the end, two baskets of medicinal materials were sold, and the total income was fifty-five yuan and seventy-five cents.
Xiang Jin and his wife were quite satisfied, and then Xiang Jin went over and asked the medicinal material owner, "Boss, when will you receive the medicinal materials?"
The medicine owner asked, "Why, do you still have some at home?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, there are still some left to dry in the sun."
The medicinal material said, "Don't worry, I have to collect it on September 1st, but little girl, I'd better dig more potato seeds in the future. The one is out now, and I will collect more by then. And that one can be harvested."
The price for live ones is also higher."
"Okay, thank you," Xiang Jin nodded, and then the mother and daughter left and went straight to the vegetable market.
Last time, when Dengwei was not at their house for dinner, he cut a few kilograms of meat and weighed a few kilograms of sugar for them. This was done right on the street.
Yang Juyun asked Xiang Jin, "How much do you think we should buy them?"
Xiang Jin said, "How about three kilograms? It's neither too much nor too little. Is this enough?"
Yang Juyun nodded and said to Xiang Jin, "How about giving grandpa and grandma a few pounds as well?"
Yang Juyun said, "Let your grandparents forget it, they don't want it."
Xiang Jin said, "Let's cut it off. Grandpa and grandma will definitely not care about that, and the two uncles probably won't care about that either, but the two aunts may not care about that.
Think about it, they didn’t just work for us for one day, or they worked for so many days. If you worked for someone for so many days for free, it would make your heart burn.”
Yang Juyun thought about it for a moment, and nodded according to the past character of her two brothers and daughters-in-law from her mother's family, "Okay, then I'll give them a few pounds as well."
Xiang Jin said, "Just the same six pounds. Their family has a large population. You can give it to grandma and let her share it with them."
Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay!"
So the two women cut the pork and weighed the sugar according to what they had just agreed upon. The butcher and the sugar seller both smiled happily, and each of them gave them a dime less than the price.
and 15 cents. The boss who bought the pork also gave them a pair of fat sausages and half a side of pork liver. The boss who sold the sugar also added an extra spoon of the ceramic spoon to the five-pound pocket.
He also told them to come more in the future.
The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: It's strange to be unhappy. They bought so much at once. The boss's items sold quickly, and they closed the stall quickly, and they also spent a lot of money.
However, she was still happy in her heart. She could get an extra pair of fat sausages and half a side of pork liver. They were in for a treat tonight. When she went back, she would definitely give them the right taste, so that they could have a good meal.
Eat two meals.
Nine pounds of white sugar, nine pounds of pork, a few boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and some ingredients for braised vegetables were all given by Xiang Jin. For this reason, she only spent five or six yuan on selling medicinal materials.
Yang Juyun felt a little guilty and said, "It took me so long to collect so many medicinal materials, but in just a short time I spent them all on you."
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, what's yours and mine? Aren't we a family?"
Just spend it, what's the pity?
Isn’t money just for spending? After spending it, you just have to find ways to make money. Besides, don’t we still have half of the medicinal materials at home?
I had made an agreement with Xiang Nan at the beginning that during the period when our house was being renovated, all the food we would spend on food would be spent with the money we had from selling medicinal materials.
We are both very happy to be able to contribute a little bit to our family."
Yang Juyun was immediately infected by her optimistic temperament, and a smile appeared on her face, "You kid knows how to make excuses for your mother."
Xiang Jin said, "I'm not making excuses for you, I'm telling the truth," she said with a serious look, "Mom, you don't have to do everything by yourself, Xiang Nan and I can help
your."
Yang Juyun's glasses were slightly red, "I know, I know!"
Xiang Jin was speechless, "Here we go again, here we go again, Mom, can you stop being so emotional? Can you be optimistic? There is nothing you can't fight. If a person's heart is strong, anything can be solved!"
Yang Juyun laughed immediately, "Okay, Mom, I will listen to you, be optimistic and have a strong heart."
"Oh, that's right, let's go back," he said, hugging her mother's shoulders and leading her to the station above.
