Tang Weitian has stayed in the village since the accident of the former village director. But the day before yesterday, after Xia Meihua went to the women's director's house, she suddenly wanted to eat sour food when she came back.

If you want to eat sour, there are sauerkraut and sour radishes at home, but Xia Meihua doesn't eat it, and she is greedy for what plums the daughter-in-law of the women's director's family eats.

The plum was brought back by the sister of the women's director in the city, and I heard that it was precious. But the pregnant woman is unreasonable, if she wants to eat, she wants to eat, Xia Meihua became angry with Tang Weitian.

Tang Weitian thought that he had made a little money last time, and he was looking forward to his first child. So I took advantage of the rush day to go to the street to see if there were any plums sold.

But when he arrived in Wudu Town, looking at the people who were wandering around the corner, Tang Weitian remembered the profits from the last time, and his heart was a little itchy. My feet couldn't help but wander around some corners, my eyes still looking around. Wandering around, Tang Weitian arrived in the end area. was hooked by a person's finger, and he followed him to the corner alley with curiosity.

As soon as the two talked, Tang Weitian knew that this person originally wanted to buy grain, saying that he knew a person who had bought 300 catties of wheat here at one time before. Ask him if he knows who sold it, and give him a line.

Tang Weitian's heart became empty when he heard this, and he hurriedly excused himself from knowing, and then wanted to leave.

But the man followed him, saying that if he did not know, there was no way to get food.

Tang Weitian shook his head again and again, "No, no." ”

The middle-aged man can be regarded as an old fritter, and he can see at a glance that Tang Weitian is lying. Thinking that Tang Weitian was scared, he hurriedly said, "Comrade, I am also a black runner, and I will definitely not betray it." As long as you take out a thousand catties of grain, I will give you this number. He held out two fingers as he spoke.

"A thousand pounds of grain? Two hundred? Tang Weitian gasped, and then glared at the middle-aged man, "If I have a thousand catties of grain at home, then I will eat dry rice every day and fall asleep." "A thousand catties, this person really dares to think.

However, immediately thinking of two hundred yuan, Tang Weitian's heart jumped up. It took a grit of his teeth to resist such a big temptation! This person's purchase price has reached two cents per catty, and he only sold it for nine cents last time. Why did it suddenly go up so much? Tang Weitian couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Ye Qiu quietly followed after seeing Tang Weitian, so he heard the conversation between the two. After writing down the appearance of the middle-aged man, Ye Qiu walked towards the opposite store. Then he waited for the middle-aged man to separate from Tang Weitian.

The middle-aged man pestered Tang Weitian for a while, and finally realized that he had lost his eyes, so he gave up Tang Weitian and looked for the next target.

When the middle-aged man left, Ye Qiu quietly followed him and followed him for a whole day, and was almost discovered, but fortunately, Ye Qiu entered the space from a corner.

After determining the address of the middle-aged man, Ye Qiu began to buy things.

I wanted to buy some meat with money, but the meat seller only recognized the meat ticket and not the money. Ye Qiu could only leave in disappointment, and then took out the grain stamps sent by Tang Weishan yesterday to the grain station to exchange the grain. I went to the grocery store and bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and two packets of Shanghai brand sugar.

Non-staple food stores originally also needed oil, salt and other tickets, but these things were not necessities, and the people in the township used them relatively rarely. Most of them exchanged food stamps with people with abundant food, so there was a lot of these things left in the grocery store. So Ye Qiu took a high price and quietly bought it from the salesperson. When he heard that he was going to buy these things at a high price, the salesperson immediately greeted him with a smile.

After buying all of them, Ye Qiu returned to Jianshe Village with his things on his back.

On the way back to the village, Ye Qiu met Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong.

It turned out that Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong's marriage date had been set, and they went to the town to buy things this time.

Ye Qiu looked at Wei Hongzhi's smile on his face, and he was also very happy in his heart.

"Ye Qiu, we are going to the county the day after tomorrow, do you want to go?" Wei Hongzhi smiled brightly, and her whole body was full of happiness. Looking at Tang Weiyong, who was leading a large bag of things on the side, Ye Qiu pressed the worry in his heart. Almost 20 years later, what do you want to do so much? When the time comes, it's good to watch from the sidelines.

Seeing that Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, Wei Hongzhi touched him and said, "Go or not, Ye Qiu." ”

"You went to the county to buy wedding supplies, what am I going to do?" Ye Qiu shook his head, and then couldn't help but quip, "I don't want to disturb you." ”

And Ye Qiu still remembered what Wei Hongzhi said a few days ago. Tang Weiyong got a photo ticket, and eighty percent of them went to the county to take pictures, and it was not appropriate for them to follow along. Thinking of taking pictures, Ye Qiu thought about Tang Weishan, and the next time he came back to visit relatives, they would also take a few wedding photos. He had never taken a photo in his previous life, and Ye Qiu regretted it in his heart.

Back home, Ye Qiu gave a pack of candy to the Li Xiahong sisters, and another pack to the children of the sister-in-law's family. Just as he was about to pack up the things he bought, he heard Tang Guifang's voice outside.

Ye Qiu put the back basket into the room where the grain was stored, and hurriedly walked out.

saw Li Weiguo following behind Tang Guifang, as if begging him, his voice was a little low, Ye Qiu didn't hear it. But Tang Guifang frowned and said, "Weiguo, I said, as long as my mother agrees to divide the family, you can divide it as you want." ”

"But my mother said that if we split up, my mother would not give us anything. And let us move into the house we are in. Li Weiguo frowned, sandwiched between his daughter-in-law and his mother, this time has been really hard. Gui Fang, come back with me. If we really split up, where will we live? We don't have much savings over the years. Two adults can also build a shed to live in, and the children can make do in the summer, but what can they do in the winter! ”

When Tang Guifang heard this, her eyebrows gradually gathered, and she was a little embarrassed for a while. But thinking about my mother-in-law is so ruthless, she doesn't even live in the side house she lives in now. Thinking of the suffering over the years, tears couldn't help but flow, "Your mother is trying to force us to death, she has been working hard for more than ten years, and in the end, she wants to drive us out...... Why am I so miserable! ”

Li Weiguo hurriedly persuaded Tang Guifang not to break up and so on.

"Second sister, what's wrong?" Ye Qiu stood at the door and heard this, and hurriedly said loudly. After speaking, he walked towards the two. As he walked, he looked at Li Weiguo with suspicious eyes.

When Li Weiguo saw Ye Qiu coming, he looked at him with suspicion, and said a little sneeringly, "Brother and sister." ”

Tang Guifang wiped her tears, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

When he asked that, Ye Qiu knew that with Tang Guifang's temperament, he wouldn't say it. However, Ye Qiu also heard the conversation between the two. Think about it and roll out what's going on. asked that sentence, because I was afraid that Tang Guifang would be soft-hearted and agreed to Li Weiguo's persuasion.

Seeing this, Li Weiguo didn't want to say anything, and hurriedly said, "Gui Fang, think about it." I'll go back first. With that, he turned around and left.

After Ye Qiu saw Li Weiguo leaving, he just looked at Tang Guifang and said, "Second sister, since the matter of family separation has been proposed, it must be reached." If you compromise, then don't think about turning over in the future, and the aunt of the Li family will be even more aggressive to you. After saying that, he turned around and left, some things still have to be remembered by himself. As for how to help her, Ye Qiu had already thought of it.

In the evening, Ye Qiu handed two hundred yuan to Tang Guifang.

"Brother and sister, what are you?"

"Second sister, since the eldest lady of the Li family wants to drive you out of the Li family, then I and my brother-in-law will repair another house." Ye Qiu said calmly, "The two hundred yuan I lent you and my brother-in-law." ”

"Brother and sister." Tang Guifang was moved to tears, "I...... I....... ”

In the village, it costs about 100 yuan to build a house with a thatched roof, and about 15 yuan for a tiled roof. Therefore, the two hundred yuan given by Ye Qiu was completely sufficient. As long as he has this money as confidence, Ye Qiu believes that Tang Guifang will definitely persevere.

On the second day, Ye Qiu dressed up in disguise, looking like a peasant woman in her thirties, but her eyes revealed shrewdness, and then she carried a back basket with three corn cobs in the back basket. Head towards the town of Wudu.

It's just that Ye Qiu turned around but didn't find that person. Then he walked towards the place where the middle-aged man lived before, and he didn't see the person coming in or out. Ye Qiu waited for most of the day, full of disappointment, and complained a little about his caution.

After finding a corner, Ye Qiu took out some corn from the space and put it in the back basket, then put a shelled corn in his sleeve and walked towards some corners.

"There's fresh corn on the cob, do you want it?" Ye Qiu said to a well-dressed man, and after speaking, he quietly came out of the exposed corn, golden and yellow, and the grains were full.

The man's eyes lit up, "How much?" ”

"One out of four, three points for a minimum of ten."

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive."

"Big brother, you see what time it is, the corn hasn't hung up yet."

After thinking about it, the man took out the triangular money and bought ten.

Ye Qiu followed this method and sold seventy of the back baskets in one day. Twenty dollars in income.

The income of so much in one day is considered a high income, after all, Tang Weishan was born and died, and he only sent back fifty yuan a month. can be sold in bulk like this, the target is too big, and many people are staring at Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu was afraid that something would happen, so he found a corner to enter the space, hurriedly changed his outfit and came out, put the back basket in the space, and returned to the village empty-handed.

On the second day, Ye Qiu no longer sold in bulk. Think about it or find that middle-aged man.

In the next few days, Ye Qiu changed into another costume and went to Wudu Town as a peasant girl.

The hard work paid off, Ye Qiu finally waited for the middle-aged man, and hurriedly chased after him, "Uncle, uncle, wait." ”

Xia Xinkai turned around, but saw a dark-skinned girl, with freckles on her face, dressed in patched blue clothes, walking towards her. Xia Xinkai was a little puzzled, but he still stopped.

Ye Qiu said quietly, "Uncle, I have food, do you want it?" ”

"How many do you have?" When Xia Xinkai heard this, his eyes lit up, he was sad to death these days, and he ran around but didn't buy any food.

"The ten corn cobs in the back basket are preliminarily estimated to be more than 800 catties." Ye Qiu's estimate of the ten back baskets refers to the trumpet back basket, a trumpet back basket is about more than eighty catties, so the ten back baskets must be more than eight hundred catties, maybe nearly nine hundred catties, but Ye Qiu said a conservative number.

When Xia Xinkai heard this, his eyes lit up, "Where is it?" As soon as the words came out, she frowned, the corn plants have not yet hung red whiskers, how can this little girl have corn on the cob? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ye Qiu suspiciously.

"Uncle, tomorrow at noon, I will go to Zhang Guo's old tree cave. When the time comes, you will know if I lied to my uncle. ”

Zhangguo Old Tree Cave is a place between Wudu Town and Jianshe Village, which is famous for having a thousand-year-old yellow horn tree. The body of the yellow horn tree is intact on the side of the road, but on the other side, a hole of more than ten square meters has been dug out in the center of the tree.

Legend has it that the hole in the yellow horn tree was made by Zhang Guo when he was catching demons. The hollow of the tree was completely devoid of the heart of the tree, and then slowly withered.

When Zhang Guolao learned about it, he went down to drop a drop of his own blood. Because of the blood of the immortals, the yellow fruit tree magically survived, and then continued for thousands of years. Because of this story, the tree was called Zhangguo Old Tree Cave.

Xia Xinkai thought about it and took a look, but he didn't have anything to lose, so he nodded. I've been urged a few times in the city, so I have to bring some back. Now the fight is fierce, and the commercial grain is decreasing again and again. Some enterprises with good returns have already begun to go out to find food on their own. And Xia Xinkai took the opportunity to take a state-built paper mill, promising to find food for them. Then he arranged his son in, but now it has been more than ten days, and he has not settled at all, how can he not panic.

The corn is fully ripe.

Ye Qiu broke all the corn overnight and stacked it in the space.

On the second day, after Ye Qiu changed his clothes, he went to Zhang Guo's old tree cave. Then he put the corn in the hollow of the tree and climbed up to the treetops. The heart of harming others is indispensable, the heart of defense is indispensable, although you have space, if you feel wrong, you can go in, but still go up the tree to see the situation.

Near noon, Ye Qiu saw that Xia Xinkai came alone in a shed car. I couldn't help but feel amused at my own thoughts, and quickly climbed down from the tree.

When Xia Xinkai saw a hole of corn, he was very excited. Hurriedly peeled one off, only to see that the corn was golden and yellow, and the grains were also full, and I took a bite of it, the taste was surprisingly good, the corn kernels were delicate and soft and glutinous, and I couldn't help but look at Ye Qiu in surprise.

"Girl, how do you count these money?"

"Uncle, I don't embarrass you, how about these count as eight hundred catties?" Ye Qiu paused, and then said, "If you come back next month, I can still sell it to you." ”

"How many."

"I can't estimate this, how much can I collect." Ye Qiu still kept an eye on it, "But don't worry, uncle, there will definitely be more than this." After all, most of the crops will be ripe next month. ”

Xia Xinkai thought about it and nodded. Since it is a long-term business, Xia Xinkai is not afraid that this little girl will deceive herself. Moreover, in terms of his experience in reselling grain, the amount of these corns is only a lot more. "Girl, corn on the cob is not corn after all, so I can only give you a dime and three pounds, you see?"

"Uncle, I've given you a lot. Eight hundred catties of corn on the cob, there must be seven hundred catties of corn kernels. Let's take a middle number, five in a dime. "In fact, bulk selling is the most cost-effective, but the possibility of being discovered in bulk is too great, and Ye Qiu doesn't dare to take risks.

"What will you receive next month?" Xia Xin laughed.

"Rice and wheat."

Xia Xin opened his eyes and shrunk, and hurriedly said, "Okay, if it's rice and wheat, I will collect two cents and one catty, and this corn cob will be five dimes a dime." ”

Ye Qiu nodded.

After the two happily reached an agreement, Xia Xinkai paid the money and then got the corn to the car. Fortunately, Ye Qiu left a bamboo basket that could be transported to the car basket by basket. Otherwise, I will pick them up in the car one by one, and I don't know when I will pick them up.

Ye Qiu watched Xia Xinkai leave before leaving, but he didn't go back to Jianshe Village directly, but went around Guanyin Mountain from the mountain behind Zhang Guo's old tree cave. After a stone wall on Guanyin Mountain, I entered the space.

In the space, after cutting all the rice in the seven fields, he left the space.

It was already dark when I came out, so I hurried down the mountain and went home.

In the days that followed, Ye Qiu put all his energy into the space. Three acres of land, one acre is planted with rice, one acre is planted with corn, five acres are planted with wheat, and five acres are planted with peanuts, vegetables, and so on. After sowing, the time also came for Wei Hongzhi and Tang Weiyong's wedding day.
