Chapter 13: On the Circle of Friends

Early in the morning, Zhou Xin got up and picked vegetables, to say, tomatoes and cucumbers, there are really a lot, it didn't take much effort to put down two baskets, not to mention fifty or sixty pounds. "There's not enough baskets. Zhou Xin looked at the remaining two empty baskets and looked at the vegetables in the vegetable garden, there were still a lot of them.

Fortunately, there are a lot of bamboos in the mountains and forests around Anxi Village, the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, many people in the village have the craft of hand-weaving baskets, but in recent years, the baskets have been replaced by plastic baskets, and few people use bamboo baskets.

No, in the village, in recent years, few young people have been engaged in weaving baskets and bamboo mats, and they all went to the city to work, compared to tinkering with bamboo, there is an easy and more lucrative job who still does this kind of unpromising thing, and now only a few people are engaged in the work left by their ancestors at home.

Zhou Xin plans to go to the village to buy some baskets, according to the output of the two vegetable gardens in the yard, it is not a big problem to produce vegetables once in three days, more than 100 catties at a time, at least three or four baskets are used, and it is thirty or forty in a month, which is not less.

A basket of ten yuan, that is also three or four hundred yuan, for the elderly and women who stay in the village, three or four hundred yuan is enough for a family to chew for a month. Zhou Xin loaded some melons, fruits and vegetables, carried them, went down the mountain, and came to the village along the mountain road.

In the morning, there are a lot of people on this side of the pond, women, after breakfast, washing clothes, washing dishes, they all like to get together, chat, busy, time passes, and they don't feel tired at all.

Someone saw Zhou Xin, came over, smiled, said hello, Zhou Xin, nodded, and left quickly, these old women love to make some small jokes the most, meat and vegetarian are not taboo, Zhou Xin, a little can't cover it.

"This man has been here for almost a month. "Ermao's mother, slightly fat, speaks loudly, and her voice is louder than usual.

"No, it's been more than a month. ”

"You say, young man in his twenties, what are you trying to do in our ravines?" The fat girl's wife, beating her clothes, glanced at Zhou Xin, who was far away, and pouted.

"I don't know, but this person is definitely not a smart doll. ”

"It's not, just knock on the stones, pave the stone road, you say, the smart baby will do this, one person, what kind of road to build. ”

"Isn't it just that the little fairy who runs to the old ravine to build the road is a big fool. Ermao's mother grinned.

"What a year is this, immortal, don't have a bad brain. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if your uncle hears it, he will curse. "The side didn't say much, woman.

"Uncle, that's an old feudal, what era is it now, you want me, what old gods save us, maybe it's because our land is good, and it's easy to produce crops. ”

That makes sense. ”

"Okay, let's say a few words one by one. ”

"Don't say anything, I think, this person is a lazy person, you say, the young man runs in the mountains, what do you do, don't make more money while you're young. ”

"Our fat girl, three or four thousand in the factory in January. "Fat girl's mother, said proudly. "Young man, I don't know how to make money, I am blind and grow so tall and strong. ”

"That's what I said, my family's Ermao, sent me 3,000 yuan in January, this kid, spends a lot of money, and the living expenses in January will cost 2,000, and the next time I come back, I want to talk about this child. Ermao's mother, not without pride, said.

Other women, talking about their own families, children, how to make money outside, are indispensable, take Zhou Xin, talk about things.

Only the old grandson and daughter-in-law of the village said a few words for Zhou Xin, but she was choked back by her sister-in-law and sister-in-law without saying a few words.

"What, college students, we've heard that a lot of college students don't have jobs. ”

"That is, what is so great about college students, they can't make money, and they are blind. ”

Zhou Xin, walk fast, go far, good hearing, it's not a good thing, really, in the eyes of this group of village women, he has become a typical feeling of being lazy and lazy.

Leaving the pond, Zhou Xin walked quickly to the village's hometown. "Uncle, are you at home?"

"Who?"

"Is that you?" Guo Xiaodi, when he opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Xin, rolled his eyes. "What are you doing at my house?"

"It's Xiao Zhou here, come in, Didi, pour water. "Uncle Gao, with a dry tobacco stick in his mouth, took the fruits and vegetables handed over by Zhou Xin. "I give this thing every time I come, and next time I don't want to be so polite. ”

"Yes. Guo Xiaodi snorted at Zhou Xin, and Uncle Gao knocked on the cigarette pot. "This girl is used to her mother. ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhou Xin said with a smile. "Old man, I came to buy some baskets to go back, the family sells vegetables, and the baskets are not enough. ”

"Selling vegetables?"

Guo Xiaodi, pouring tea and listening, pouting, this person, playing the piano so well, went to the city to open a study class, made a lot of money in a month, and stayed in the mountains to sell vegetables, it is really putting the cart before the horse, I really don't know what this person thinks.

Guo Xiaodi poured tea, turned around and entered the house, and the cotton was gentle Zhao Ying, who was freshening up, listening to the movement of the yard, and asked Guo Xiaodi to walk in. "Didi, you're a guest?"

"What guest, do you remember that guy from yesterday?"

"Is Zhou Xin here?" Mian Rou looked surprised.

"It's over, it's over. Zhao Ying on the side saw it and sighed. "It's spring. ”

Mian Rou, her face flushed, and she reached out to grab Zhao Ying. "Let you talk nonsense, I just think that Zhou Xin is very powerful. ”

"Cut. ”

"However, this guy ran away when he saw us yesterday, and he didn't give us face, we are big beauties, as if he was there, what kind of snakes, insects, rats and ants, I am afraid to avoid them. "Zhao Ying, I was angry when I said it.

Not only Zhao Ying, but Guo Xiaodi is the same, Mian Rou is better, but he is a little angry in his heart, this guy is too faceless, is it that he can't see people like a few people.

Zhou Xin didn't know that the three little girls in the house, scolding themselves behind their backs, followed Uncle Gao, went to the firewood room, took four or five baskets, stuffed fifty yuan for Uncle Gao, and left the small courtyard of the Gao family quickly.

Guo Xiaodi and a few people discussed how to punish Zhou Xin and came out, but after looking around, there was no shadow of this guy in the yard. "Grandpa, where is Zhou Xin?"

"You say, little fairy, go back. "Uncle Gao, knock on the dry smoke pot. "Don't call Zhou Xin Zhou Xin, people are older than you, besides, your mother's life is still saved by other people's masters. ”

"Got it. Guo Xiaodi, muttering quietly, I have said this a hundred times, Guo Xiaodi, in fact, I don't believe in the old fairy of the fairy house, the thing that saved the whole village in the disaster year, what era, what kind of fairy, it is difficult to deceive children.

"However, this guy is really hateful, he runs when he sees himself, he is so unpopular, I still want to run in front of you. Guo Xiaodi, in my heart, was not convinced, he was the most popular class flower in the class, I don't know how many people chased him, this guy actually looked disgusted.

Guo Xiaodi and Zhao Ying, Mian Rou said, the two clapped their hands in support, and went to the fairy house after breakfast to make trouble for that guy, the three of them laughed, by the way, there is also a watermelon on the tree, don't eat it for nothing, let this guy be so annoying.

Zhou Xin didn't know that he just didn't want to get into trouble and avoided the three girls, but he didn't have a grudge. Back at the fairy house, Zhou Xin picked three baskets of vegetables, peppers, bean pods, eggplant, and cabbage, and just sat down here to take a break.

The elder sister Zhou Mei called. "Xiaoxin, my parents and I are about to go to the village, and we will be there in a moment. ”

"I know, sister, I'll go down and pick you up. ”

Zhou Xin, wiped his sweat, took a cabbage bun, ate it, and went out after packing up the basket, before he reached the foot of the mountain, Guo Lei called. "Brother Zhou is at home, brother, I'm here to bother me again. ”

"Here, Brother Guo said with a smile, you come, I'm happy that it's still too late. Zhou Xin said with a smile.

Guo Lei and Yunshui Hotel's purchase car actually arrived at the same time as the old sister and his parents' car, but fortunately, under the hillside, there is a lot of open space here, but it can be parked.

"Hey, this guy has a guest. ”

Guo Xiaodi, who was not far away, looked at it, Zhou Xin smiled like a flower, and a breath of anger came out of his heart. "No matter, it's better to come to the guests, let's go, let's go and have fun, I don't believe it yet, this guy can still drive people." ”

Good guy, there are few guests in the fairy house, Zhou Xin's parents looked around, this small courtyard is not bad. Everyone sat down, Zhou Xin made tea, and Zhou Mei came over. "What are these people doing?"

Zhou Mei pointed to Guo Lei and Yunshui Hotel procurement, a few people, looking, a bit like bastards, Zhou Xin, feeling amused, Guo Lei, this person's style of acting, is really a bit of a big brother, as for a few procurement, one by one, with a straight face, a bit of a follow-up posture.

"Yunshui Hotel?" Zhou Mei's eyes widened, the last time she went back, Zhou Mei checked the information of Yunshui Hotel, not to mention, the one who spent a lot of money to buy watermelon was really the general manager of Yunshui Hotel. "I'm buying watermelons again, and I don't think there are many of them on the trees. ”

Zhou Xin smiled and pointed to a few baskets full of vegetables on the side. "I'm here to buy groceries. Zhou Xin took the tea, returned to the courtyard, and was a little stunned when he saw that there were three more people. "Auntie, we are all good friends of Zhou Xin, don't be polite to us. Guo Xiaodi, facing Zhou Xin, blinked his eyes and looked a little proud.

Zhou Xin was speechless, put down the teapot, and in front of a few people, Guo Lei saw that Zhou Xin's parents came over today, and there were other guests, so he didn't delay much. "Cai, you weigh it, I'll say a few words to Brother Zhou. ”

The two purchased vegetables weighed the accounts, and when they took out a stack of red tickets, except for Zhou Mei, who was somewhat mentally prepared, everyone else was dumbfounded, one hundred and fifty catties of vegetables, it turned out to be one thousand eight hundred.

"What kind of dish is this, twelve dollars a catty. Zhao Ying, snapping her fingers, counted the number that made her eyes almost pop out.

"Twelve yuan a catty?" Zhou's mother usually sells vegetables, and she can say that she knows the price of vegetables, these beans, peppers, and tomatoes are now in season, except for tomatoes that can be worth two yuan, the other pieces are more, and even not good, a few cents a catty.

However, in Zhou Xin, here, directly twelve yuan, this is simply, too incredible, Zhou Mei listened to twelve yuan a catty. "This is not more expensive than watermelon, a dozen catties of watermelon, two hundred yuan, a catty of twenty yuan.

"Brother Guo, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, the day after tomorrow, I asked a few friends to exchange cooking skills together, and I plan, let you go, no problem, right?" Guo Lei, this is to introduce guests to Zhou Xin, but Guo Lei's friends, I want to taste trickier than ordinary people, but if these people are satisfied, word of mouth will come out.

Zhou Xin's private vegetable shop, if you want to be famous, you must pass this level, otherwise you won't have a reputation, in this kind of small ravine, opening a private vegetable shop is a joke. "Brother Guo, just look at it, I must be ready. ”

"That's great, Brother Zhou, then let's say so. Saying that, Guo Lei was about to leave, Zhou Xin, busy hugging two, picking watermelons in the morning, and giving them to Guo Lei, although Guo Lei didn't care about this little money, but the courtesy was light and affectionate.

"This is what Mr. Gao said about the melon on the tree, then I'm welcome. ”

Guo Lei, smiled and accepted the watermelon, came to Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, said hello, took a few purchasers, carried the vegetables, left, Zhou Xin, and sent it to the halfway up the mountain. Back in the yard, Zhou Mei was talking to her mother and father about Zhou Xin's sale of watermelons.

Guo Xiaodi, Mianrou, and Zhao Ying all forgot to come to Zhou Xin for trouble, and they were all stunned, a watermelon is 200 yuan, this is a golden melon. "This guy is amazing. Guo Xiaodi, muttering, his impression of Zhou Xin has changed a little in his heart.
