"In fact, 20,000 is not much, and some people in the city may pay more than this amount for a meal or a piece of clothing. Besides, more than 20,000 yuan may not be able to buy even a toilet or a large piece of land in the city, and if we can buy millions of dollars in the city with a yard as large as ours, then we will not be very rich. Zhang Taiping said with a little emotion and joking.

At this moment, Cai Yazhi's mood was a little calmer, and she carefully loosened the box in Zhang Taiping's hand like holding a baby, and ran away.

After a while, he came back with the wooden box that his grandfather had given him. handed it to Zhang Taiping, its meaning is self-evident.

Zhang Taiping returned the box and said: "These are sent by grandpa, it is the old man's care for his grandson, and it is not to the point of desperation, if even these are sold, it will be a bit too much." You'd better keep it for it. ”

Cai Yazhi blushed and lowered her head embarrassedly, and didn't mention it anymore.

But Zhang Taiping estimated that she would not drink it in the future. After all, this saffron is too valuable and too valuable. Rural people sometimes feel that it is a luxury to spend a few more yuan, and it is definitely a luxury among luxuries to drink dozens of dollars like this. Any rural person will choose to stay rather than waste himself.

After a while, Cai Yazhi raised her head and asked.

Where is this picked?

Zhang Taiping replied casually: "On the camel ridge." ”

Cai Yazhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she unconsciously tightened the box in her hand.

Zhang Taiping caught a glimpse of his wife's shining eyes and physical reactions, and suddenly had a bad premonition. Hurriedly said in a solemn voice.

"You don't want to go into the mountain alone, just when the bud valley is ripe and the wild boar is coming down the mountain, you can't run when you meet it alone."

After finishing speaking, he looked at his expression and said uneasily: "After passing the camel ridge, you will enter the deep mountains, where are there often wild beasts in the deep mountains, like coyotes and bears, if you meet them, what should you do?" ”

Cai Yazhi looked at Zhang Taiping, an inexplicable look flashed on her face, and nodded slightly.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Taiping left, Cai Yazhi opened her mouth hesitantly, wanting to say something, but she didn't say anything.

When Zhang Taiping saw it, he took the initiative to ask: "Is there anything else?" ”

Cai Yazhi was stunned for a while, and then said embarrassedly, and wanted Zhang Taiping to bring some osmanthus cakes to her sister Cai Xiaomei.

Zhang Taiping was stunned after hearing this, and then he had some feelings. The sisters have relied on each other for so many years, without the support of their elders and relatives, everything has to be handled by themselves, and all the sources of life have to be earned by themselves.

In fact, Zhang Dashuai's situation is similar to that of the two sisters, but Zhang Dashuai is a male surname after all, and he has a natural advantage on the road to making money.

The two sisters are different, and life is much more difficult. In the past, I had to work without labor, and I didn't dare to go outside to make a living, so I could only rely on collecting some mountain goods or collecting medicine to make a living. Sometimes it is almost to the point of running out of food and oil, and it can barely survive with the help of the villagers and Grandpa Zhang Taiping.

The children of poor families were in charge of the family early, and after the first two years, even girls of seventeen or eighteen years old could go to the fields with hoes on their shoulders, and they would not go hungry anymore by hard work to grow some crops.

Cai Yazhi has always taken care of her sister like a mother, no matter what is delicious, she will always be used to leaving her surname to Cai Xiaomei. Now marrying into the Zhang family, but still thinking about my sister, I want to leave a copy of everything good for my sister, I feel embarrassed to speak, hesitant and embarrassed to say it.

Fortunately, Zhang Taiping asked such a question, otherwise, it is estimated that she would not have expressed it in the end.

After seeing Zhang Taiping agree, he immediately turned around and went into the house to propose the osmanthus cake wrapped in lotus leaves. The outside of the lotus leaf is wrapped with hemp silk into a cross shape and then tied with a live buckle, which can be carried by hand. took it out so quickly, it is estimated that it has already been wrapped, and the thin-skinned person is embarrassed to take it out, but now it can be quickly taken out with Zhang Taiping's approval.

Zhang Taiping looked at the package made of lotus leaves, boxy, very delicate and elegant, osmanthus cake with lotus leaves just complement each other, not only can prevent the aroma of osmanthus cake from leaking, but also bring a thin lotus fragrance when eating.

In the countryside, it is not uncommon to wrap things like this. In fact, it's not that they have a lot of elegance, it's just that they don't have the plastic bags that can be seen everywhere in the city, and they can't find good paper for a while, so they come up with this "next step", but make the package more thoughtful and elegant. It doesn't matter the material, it's just whether it's ingenious or not.

Zhang Taiping walked two steps with his things and turned back uneasily: "It's best not to go into the mountain alone, do you hear that?" ”

Seeing Cai Yazhi, she nodded again before leaving with confidence.

Yesterday afternoon, I agreed with the village chief that this morning, Wang Gui's motorcycle tricycle will arrive in the town first.

I got up early, and it was only eight o'clock when I arrived in the town, Wang Gui went to deliver mushrooms, and Zhang Taiping came to the station alone. There happened to be a bus that was about to be sent to the Seongnam Passenger Terminal.

Cai Xiaomei's school is in the university park of Weiyang District, the northern suburb of Xi'an, and it is still outside the North Third Ring Road. It would be nice if there was a subway, it is estimated that it will not take half an hour to arrive. Nowadays, the bus ride through the city takes two hours, even in the morning when the traffic is not rush.

Today's main purpose is to sell medicines, and by the way, visit the flower fragrance tree market. Most of these establishments are concentrated in the southern part of the city, or simply in the southern suburbs.

After delivering the osmanthus cake and then returning, it is equivalent to beating the city back and forth, which increases the cost by two or three hours. Cai Yazhi didn't know any of this. But Zhang Taiping still did not refuse his wife's request, he did not want to add another pimple to the gradually built relationship.

Zhang Taiping got out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Xi'an has developed rapidly in recent years and gradually developed into a modern metropolis, but at the same time of development, Xi'an can use modern architecture to reflect the majestic atmosphere of the ancient imperial capital, and it is the most perfect city that blends classical architecture and modern atmosphere.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square is full of people, and you can see foreigners coming to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda everywhere.

Zhang Taiping walked through the square without stopping, and went straight to the stop sign next to the north square to catch a bus to the northern suburbs. There are a few buses along the way, and you can see the subway passage under construction everywhere, and it is estimated that it will be able to connect the north and south in one year.

After many detours, it was already past ten o'clock when I arrived at school.

Zhang Taiping didn't know how to find Cai Xiaomei, he only knew which college she was in, and he didn't have a mobile phone, so he didn't know how to contact her.

It's really a problem for me, Zhang Taiping thought.

Standing at the school gate for a while, I didn't happen to meet it, but I was greeted by many different curious eyes. When they came to the downstairs of their dormitory in the living area, they didn't know the specific room number, and the aunt in charge of the building couldn't call them.

I had to stand at the door of the dormitory, downstairs for the girls, ushering in more surprised eyes, and some girls even took out their mobile phones to take a photo. Zhang Taiping couldn't stop it, so he could only stand at the door, and let me point and point at me.

In fact, it didn't take long, but Zhang Taiping said that it was like a year. Cai Xiaomei saw a big man standing at the gate of the dormitory from a distance, thinking it was that person's boyfriend, so she didn't care, and she didn't see that it was Zhang Taiping until she got closer, and she was very surprised.

"Why are you here, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and stood at the door of the girls' building, although he was very calm on the surface and looked light, but he was really embarrassed to death in his heart, and he felt quite uncomfortable under the scrutiny of a group of girls.

"I'll send you some osmanthus cakes, the osmanthus flowers in the yard are blooming, and it's not bad to make some pastries last night."

"Boyfriend? So considerate and very secure. I've earned it. Cai Xiaomei just took the lotus leaf package, and the girl who came back with her lay in her ear and said with a low voice and a smile.

"Dead nymphomaniac! What nonsense! He is my brother-in-law. Cai Xiaomei hammered the girl next to her and explained with disgust.

Although the voices of the two girls were deliberately low, Zhang Taiping's hearing was still as clear as in his ears. Listening to the jokes of the two girls, it seems that the relationship between the two girls is good, Zhang Taiping really can't say anything, pretending not to hear. Waited for a moment and continued.

"If it's okay, I'll go first."

"Hmm" Cai Xiaomei just nodded faintly.

Zhang Taiping turned around and walked away quickly. Cai Xiaomei is a beauty at the level of a courtyard flower, but she has never had too much interaction with that boy, and now she actually accepts something from a man at the door of the dormitory, which has attracted many people to stop and watch. Although I don't care what others think, it's still unpleasant to be watched by people like this.

Cai Xiaomei is really strong in her heart, and she doesn't care about the strange eyes around her. Looking at Zhang Taiping's back, he was a little puzzled, the first time the bride went to the sedan chair to send something at home, this must be my sister's wishes, but it is a little strange that this man who has always hated and hated can agree to send it.

"Aren't you moved? Well, it is said that the sister-in-law is half of the brother-in-law's lover, and she will always be in love for a long time. The girl next to her who was burning with the fire of gossip looked at Cai Xiaomei, who was distracted, and said seriously.

"Looking for death, huh?" Cai Xiaomei turned her head and said viciously.

Then the two girls chased them into the dormitory.

Zhang Taiping heard this sentence from afar, smiled and didn't take it to heart, and could only sigh that the jokes between girls nowadays are really open.

Generally, children from poor families either have low self-esteem or have very strong self-esteem, and there are not many girls like Cai Xiaomei who are not blinded by vanity, and can also make such strictly a little too much but harmless jokes with classmates and friends.
