Chapter Forty-Eight: Planting Flowers in the Courtyard

"How can it be, Dad, we let the villagers dig it up and sell it themselves. ”

Xia Yao has already thought about this problem, and when the time comes, she will see how Cheng Qingxue can make money without those matchmakers.

"You're really naΓ―ve, my daughter knows that there is a media on the mountain, and I haven't reported the matter to the county yet?"

The village party secretary sighed silently and looked at Xia Yao with great disappointment.

"Dad, how can you say that, if you haven't been to the city, can you recognize that it's a matchmaker?

Xia Yao secretly said in her heart that her father was really a fool, and she couldn't even think of such a simple question.

This time is her chance to turn over, and she must not lose to Cheng Qingxue again.

Seeing that what Xia Yao said was so straightforward, the village party secretary had no choice but to let it go.

The next day, before dawn, many villagers surrounded Xia Yao's house.

As soon as Xia Yao opened the door, she was frightened by the people outside for a moment.

"Yaoyao, you came out, all of us followed you to the mountains to dig coal. ”

Mrs. Wang deliberately came the first today, and yesterday Xia Yao called her alone, and she had already given her a good opportunity to pat herself, and she naturally would not let it go.

Xia Yao raised her eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction, so many people must be able to hollow out a mountain's matchmaker.

On the way up the mountain, Xia Yao walked in front, followed by a large group of villagers.

Fu Yishan carried a basket on his shoulders and a hoe in his hand, while Xia Yao had a breeze on his sleeves, and he looked extremely relaxed when he didn't have anything.

Walking to the mountain, Xia Yao looked at the medium in front of her, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

"These little black pieces are matchmakers, let's start digging. ”

After saying that, the villagers who followed all the way began a crazy robbery.

Although they weren't sure if what Xia Yao said was true, everyone was still crazy about grabbing it, for fear that they would miss the opportunity to pick up money.

Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xingshen have lived quite comfortably in the past two days, and the old man's condition has recovered very well, and he has been able to get out of bed and walk.

In the small courtyard, Cheng Qingxue was planting flowers and plants bought on the street, and after taking care of the old man, Gu Xingshen came out and saw Cheng Qingxue with a serious face.

"Qingxue, you've been busy all morning, go and eat lunch. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue stopped what she was doing, turned around and smiled at Gu Xingshen.

"I'm fine, I want to finish planting these flowers and plants soon, you don't have to worry about me. ”

After speaking, Cheng Qingxue turned around again and began to toss her flowers and plants.

Gu Xingshen couldn't laugh bitterly at her, fortunately this is still spring, if summer makes her toss like this, she may have heat stroke.

The originally bare small yard has become very flavorful after a few days of cleaning up with green snow.

The cool breeze of the early morning blew through the window to Cheng Qingxue's room, ripe

In her sleep, she naturally shrunk into the quilt.

It stands to reason that this spring has been so long, and it should be warm, why is this inverted spring cold still so bad.

The flowers that were planted only two days ago don't know if they can survive this cold spring.

After being woken up by the cool breeze, Cheng Qingxue couldn't sleep anymore, she slowly got up and got dressed.

In the kitchen, Gu Xingshen got up early as before, and was already busy with breakfast.

"Xingshen, grandpa's medicine seems to be gone, should we invite the doctor to come to the house again?"

Hearing this, Gu Xingshen put down the spatula in his hand and frowned: "No need, the doctor said before that if grandpa can get out of bed and walk after taking these patches, there will be no big problem." ”

"Okay, is the meal ready? I'm going to call my grandfather for dinner. Cheng Qingxue leaned into the pot and took a look, and the rich fragrance came to her nose.

Gu Xingshen's craftsmanship is really good, and she has felt that she has gained a lot of weight in the past few days. Summer is coming soon, and she has to eat less.

In the side room, the old man had already gotten up and dressed himself, and when he saw Cheng Qingxue coming in, the old man smiled kindly.

"Qingxue, you got up so early. This inverted spring cold is still powerful, you usually sleep more if you are fine. ”

Cheng Qingxue stepped forward to help the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't you make me lazy, if I'm lazy, I can't let Xingshen do so many things at home alone." ”

"Just let him do it, he didn't suffer much when he was a child, and it's a good thing to endure hardship at this time, and when he reaches my age, he will feel that all this is not tired. ”

The old man is worthy of being a scholarly family, and he always speaks in a literary manner, and Cheng Qingxue is very comfortable to listen to.

At the dinner table, the old man relayed what he had just said to Cheng Qingxue to Gu Xingshen.

Cheng Qingxue lowered her head and snickered, peeking at Gu Xingshen from time to time.

"Grandpa, you don't need to say it, I naturally know how to do it. ”

Gu Xingshen's words were said to the old man, but his actual eyes were looking at Cheng Qingxue who was hiding behind the bowl and snickering.

This girl would have snickered at him.

After breakfast, Cheng Qingxue took a chair and sat in the small courtyard to feel the sunshine, thinking that today was a cold day, but she didn't expect the sun to come out.

The warm sun was shining on Cheng Qingxue's body, which was extremely comfortable, as if she had sunburned all the cold air on her body for half a year.

Living in the county during this time is really comfortable for her, except for the relatively fast flow of money, there are almost no shortcomings.

Suddenly, Cheng Qingxue remembered that it seemed that the family didn't have much money left.

It seems that he can only sell it by picking up coal in the mountains.

Although it is spring, it must be very easy to buy coal, and it can also be used to make fires and cook rice in summer. As soon as she said to do it, Cheng Qingxue got up and approached the house to find Gu Xingshen.

"Xingshen, I have to tell you something. ”

Gu Xingshen, who was reading a book, heard Cheng Qingxue's words and hurriedly put the book down: "What's wrong?"

"We don't have much money in our family, it should only be more than ten yuan, and it is probably only enough for us to eat for a month or two. But we can't just sit back and wait, and tomorrow we will go up the mountain and dig up some coal and sell it. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xingshen's thoughts turned for a moment, and he felt that what Cheng Qingxue said was really reasonable.

During this time, it did cost a lot of money to purchase things.

Now that they live in the county, all the expenses are naturally greater than when they lived in the cowshed.

"Okay, let's go to the mountains tomorrow to pick up coal, this time picking up more. ”

After reaching an agreement, Cheng Qingxue turned around and walked to the small courtyard and sat down. If they continue to rely on coal to feed them, it will not be a long-term solution, and it seems that they will have to find other ways to make money.

Coal mines belong to the country, if the coal mines on the mountain are discovered by the state that day, after the mining is banned, she and Gu Xingshen have no skills, I am afraid they will have to go back to the cowshed to farm.

When she thinks of the life she had before, although it was dull and monotonous, there would always be a lot of moths popping up, and she didn't want to live a dull life.

Especially Xia Yao, she really caused her a lot of trouble in vain. Perhaps, the fire in the cowshed was also done by Xia Yao.
