Chapter 245 Did the aunt recognize the wrong person?
That sister's name is Song Yufeng. She is twenty-seven years old this year and has been married for seven years. She now has two children. The eldest is a girl who is six years old this year, and the younger is a son who is four years old this year.
My husband's family is an ordinary family. Although life is difficult, it is peaceful, unlike other families who make noise all day long.
When Song Xi arrived at Song Yufeng's mother-in-law's house, the family was having lunch. Song Yufeng was chasing her youngest son to feed him, but the younger son was naughty and refused to eat the rice well.
Song Yufeng's parents-in-law, husband and six-year-old daughter all sat at the dining table to eat. For lunch, they had wild vegetable porridge, cornmeal pancakes and a small plate of pickles. They lived a very poor life.
However, it is much better than the original Ping'an Village. Because Ping'an Village's rice production is low, all rice is handed over every time. Unlike these big rice villages outside, half is paid and half is kept. The main food distributed to each household is rice.
"Niece Yufeng." Song Xi shouted in a mature tone.
"Auntie, you..." Song Yufeng stared blankly at the middle-aged woman in front of her. She didn't recognize this person at all!
"Niece Yufeng, I am your aunt from the same village, don't you remember? I hugged you when you were little! But because I have been away for many years, I don't even know you are married, so I asked the people in the village
Found here." Song Xi pretended to be angry.
Song Yufeng didn't know what was going on, but she still welcomed Song Xi into the main room as she was a guest, "Mom and Dad, this is my aunt from my natal village, here to see me."
"Sister, you haven't eaten yet at noon, right? Sit down and have a bowl together!" Song Yufeng's mother-in-law invited with a smile. She looked pretty good and was not the kind of person who would bully her daughter-in-law.
"No, old sister, I brought dry food with me when I came here. I ate something when I was hungry on the way." Song Xi nodded with satisfaction, put down the backpack, and took out a piece of navy blue stained cloth from it, "
Niece Yufeng, I was not in the village when you got married, so I didn’t give you gifts. Now I will make up for you. Use this defective piece of cloth to make clothes for your family and children! My daughter must also make clothes, and we must treat both of them fairly.
Child, do you know?"
"Thank you, aunt, I know." Although she didn't know this aunt, it didn't affect her feeling!
Song Xi took out two more cans of malted milk, a pack of brown sugar, a pack of white sugar, one cured chicken and duck, one cured grass carp, and five pounds of bacon.
"Niece Yufeng, this is your dowry from my aunt."
"Auntie, no." Song Yufeng hurriedly declined. This gift was too expensive and she couldn't accept it. She could accept the defective cloth, but these hard-to-find items were too expensive.
Song Xi held her hand and said, "I'm giving it to my two children, niece Yufeng, you have no right to refuse."
Song Xi took out another ten dollars and handed it to Song Yufeng, "I think your daughter has reached the age of studying, so let's send her to study. Don't let her face the loess and back to the sky like us, working hard for a year but not succeeding."
She can't even fill her stomach. This ten yuan should be enough for her to finish primary school for five years. If she doesn't have enough money after she enters junior high school, we will find a way together."
Song Xi really wanted to say, if you lent me fifty cents back then, I can pay you back fifty, five hundred, or even five thousand.
"Auntie..." Song Yufeng couldn't help crying. Where did such a good aunt come from? She didn't remember it at all. Did the aunt recognize the wrong person?
But when my aunt called her Yufeng, she was not mistaken!
But why doesn't she have any impression of this aunt?
Song Xi smiled at the people at the dinner table, then pulled Song Yufeng outside the door, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone in your village who comes to collect river fresh food? For example, snails?"
Song Yufeng sobbed and shook her head, "No."
Song Xi understood instantly. It seemed that Wen Qiang arranged for people to go to poor villages to collect the harvest, so that the poor people could increase their income. As for the place where they could live with enough water, they wouldn't starve to death anyway, so they didn't come.
.
"I know a person who needs a lot of snails, snails, mussels, clams, crabs, crayfish, etc. It costs two cents a pound. If you are willing, you can pick it up with your mother-in-law, and then accumulate it for five days.
Measure it and send it to Xianglin, such as the 5th, 10th, 15th...Send it on such a day, and he will be waiting for you there."
"Really?" Song Yufeng wiped her tears and asked in disbelief.
This is the most common thing in the countryside. If it costs two cents a pound, how much money do they have to make?
"Really, it's best to send it there before dinner in the morning. After all, they are very busy and can't wait for you all day. You should discuss this matter with your parents-in-law and I will leave first.
, I’ll come see you next time.” Song Xi patted Song Yufeng’s hand, turned around and left.
She didn't even take a backpack, mainly because she put several backpacks on the roof of the supermarket, so there was no shortage of backpacks.
Seeing Song Yufeng come back alone, her mother-in-law asked, "Where is your aunt?"
Song Yufeng said, "My aunt has gone back. She said that someone collects snails, snails, and river mussels for two cents a pound. She said that if we are willing to pick them up, we will send them to Xianglin for her every Friday. On the 5th and 10th,
On the 15th... If you send me a day like this, there will be someone waiting there."
Grandma Song Yufeng slapped her thigh excitedly, "Your aunt is so kind. Not only did she give us so many things, but she also provided us with a way to make money. You must not make this matter public, lest it cause harm.
Your aunt was arrested for speculation. Your aunt is good to you, so you can't be ungrateful, you know?"
"I know, I won't tell anyone." Song Yufeng was hit by a huge surprise today, and she is still a little confused.
Seeing the two children staring at the malted milk intently, Song Yufeng made a bowl for each of the two children. Although the weather was hot, the two children seemed to be unaware of the heat and drank with gusto. Song Yufeng watched with eyes gradually turning red.
Already.
From then on, Song Yufeng's family also started to make money. Song Yufeng and her mother-in-law were responsible for picking up the goods during their time off work, while Song Yufeng's husband and father-in-law were responsible for delivering them.
The two of them felt lucky the first time they traded with Blue Sky. Fortunately, they were two gay men. If they let lesbians trade and others saw it, they might be wronged!
Song Xi held a big parasol and a handheld fan, and walked back. The weather was really too hot. Along the way, she ate two ice creams, drank two bottles of ice water, and ate half of it with a spoon.
Ice watermelon.
Just like this, I walked for a while and went to the supermarket to rest. After passing Xianglin, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
She walked to a big tree and planned to enter the supermarket to change clothes, but her sharp eyes spotted something shaking in the grass.
Song Xi, who thought it was a pheasant, quickly squatted down and moved over there cautiously. After getting closer, she heard that the sound was from a person, and there were two of them.
