Chapter 15: Return to Hometown
The key is to find a good cotton supply before the arrival of the cotton picking season, so as to ensure that the machine workshop does not stop production and survive the crisis.
Ji Tianyou stood behind Lu Ying'er, who was talking, and she inexplicably thought of the hundred acres of fertile land of Li Dahu's family. But she also knew that the 100 acres alone would not be enough to deal with the crisis, unless the villages in their vicinity were combined.
Jiang Yiruo didn't speak, her mind was full of the in-laws who were not angry and almost buried her life, her gangsterism was fiercely aroused, she didn't care about the crisis, she only thought about how to get out of this evil breath for herself.
Lu Ying'er knew her too well, but she also understood Jiang Yiruo's stubborn temper, no one was busy anyway, so she simply asked her to vent her anger for everyone.
After a dull discussion, everyone went back to their rooms and thought of a solution.
Ji Tianyou hesitated to tell Lu Ying'er about their village, although the village is closed, but the land is fertile land, although it is not mainly cotton, but every family will still plant some more. If you gather a few nearby villages, it must be enough to cope with the short-term cotton shortage.
Lu Ying'er looked at Ji Tianyou with a worried look, and suddenly thought that she was from a peasant family, so she asked, "Is there a village near Tianyou's house that mainly grows cotton?" ”
Only then did Ji Tianyou say his thoughts, and Lu Ying'er hurriedly ran out of the door excitedly to discuss with her aunt.
After a while, the aunt sent the people around her to talk about Ji Tianyou and shouted.
Zhao Yansu is also there.
The aunt said too softly: "Jiangfu this crisis, presumably everyone is very anxious, we discussed and implemented, God's hometown is a good place to produce cotton, the only relative of the fifth is the big cotton producer in the vicinity, this time I will send you two to a trip, take the lead to discuss the cotton farmers, the price is easy to say, but it can't be determined, I have sent someone to inform the second master, he will go over to meet you after the matter, your main task in these days is to catch up with other buyers, Bring cotton farmers under our umbrella. Afterwards, the second master will definitely be rewarded. Would you like to? ”
Zhao Yansu didn't care about the crisis of any business, but when she heard that she could have the opportunity to live alone with her second master in another country this time, this became a good opportunity for her to ask for. So I said yes with a hearty mouth.
Ji Tianyou is a little melancholy, she has been away from home for a month and a half, even if there is an old house left in the family, it is fake to say that she doesn't want to go home, but she still has Li Dahu's marriage contract on her back, so I am afraid that if I go back like this, I am afraid that I will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Seeing that Ji Tianyou was silent, the aunt hurriedly asked, "Is there any other problem with Tianyou?" ”
"Nope." Ji Tianyou could only agree to come down.
The matter was critical, Ji Tianyou was ordered to hurry back to the room to pack a few clothes, and immediately follow the fifth aunt.
Lu Ying'er looked at Ji Tianyou's simple luggage, a little unbearable, took a few clothes that she didn't often wear, and stuffed some pastries and books into it, and quietly put a few oceans in the books.
Ji Tianyou was full of gratitude, and before leaving, she suddenly turned her head to Lu Ying'er and said, "I may not be able to come back, you can tell the third lady for me." ”
This is Ji Tianyou's first time in a car, she was so sick and dizzy that she almost vomited while walking, Zhao Yansu's brows wrinkled all the way, but she finally let go of the prejudice of breaking up friendship and helped Ji Tianyou keep patting her back.
Zhao Yansu asked the driver to send Ji Tianyou home first, and then turned around and went to Li Dahu's cousin's house.
Ji Tianyou opened the door in a daze, and the yard was overgrown with weeds and was extremely desolate. The house she had lived in for eighteen years looked a little strange at the moment, and she never thought that she would leave here one day after all these years.
The dust fell all over the tables, stools and beds, but she had no strength to manage them, so she closed the door and fell asleep on the kang.
She dreamed of her grandmother, who was making cakes by the smoky stove, and she couldn't wait to reach for it like a cat, and her grandmother slapped her hand and said with a smile: "Hungry ghost, be careful of scalding your dirty paws." ”
She had to sit quietly on the small bench and watch from afar, the aroma of corn lingered throughout the room, and the figure of grandma was busy back and forth in the mist, Ji Tianyou took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant." She couldn't help but sigh.
"Godless, it's time to eat." Grandma poked her head out of the mist and yelled at her.
"It's coming, it's coming." Ji Tianyou happily agreed in a voice like a silver bell.
When the meal was served, she couldn't wait to gobble it up, "Grandma, you eat too." ”
When I looked up again, the whole room was cold and empty, and she was the only one left.
"It's a dream again." Ji Tianyou thought so in his dream.
When she awoke, she stared at the cobwebbed stove for a moment, sighed deeply, and got busy in the room. Although their family was poor, her grandmother was a clean-loving person, and she thought that if she saw such a dirty house, she would be angry.
After cleaning the house, and pulling out the weeds in the yard, it was almost dark, so I simply ate some pastries and went to bed in a hurry, tomorrow is another complicated day.
Sure enough, early the next morning, someone shouted loudly outside the gate of Ji Tianyou's courtyard, which attracted nearby neighbors, and people just learned that Ji Tianyou, who had escaped, had returned.
It was Li Dahu who shouted.
After Zhao Yansu entered his house and said that he came back with Ji Tianyou, he was so excited that he almost didn't sleep all night. I thought the cooked duck had flown off, but now it flew back.
"Li Dahu, what are you howling in the early morning?" Ji Tianyou actually got up a long time ago, she really didn't bother to pay attention to him, she had to ask someone when she came back this time, she couldn't be as arrogant and rude as before, and hiding from him was the time to be pure.
When Li Dahu saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said with a hippie smile: "When you come back, why don't you go and tell me." ”
Ji Tianyou glanced at him and teased: "I'll go and sue your daughter-in-law about the same." ”
The crowd laughed, looking curiously at the delicate and awkward relationship between Ji Tianyou and Li Dahu, everyone knew that if Ji Tianyou put it down, he would make Li Dahu a year later, these are all human witnesses.
As soon as he heard this, Li Dahu rubbed his hands excitedly, and he said with a radiant look: "It used to be before, but now that girl listens to me, if you get married, she won't dare to bully you." ”
The people burst into laughter, because Li Dahu had no idea who was standing behind him when he said this. The fat woman stuck her waist with a face, snorted coldly from her nose, and then dragged Li Dahu's ear and shouted: "It's all up to you, don't you want to pull this ear?" ”
Zhao Yansu understood the relationship between Ji Tianyou and Li Dahu, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a narrow road." ”
