In the afternoon of the same day, Widow Yang returned home, and the old village chief immediately came to the door and told Widow Yang the news, and she could ask Chu Jiaqiang for details.

Widow Yang and her daughter Xiaoya had just entered the house, and when they heard the news, they immediately rushed towards Chu Jiaqiang's house. After getting Chu Jiaqiang's affirmation, the two went home in a hurry, seemingly preparing to knock down the chestnuts on the tree immediately, as if it was not safe to keep them and hang on them.

"Wait, I'm going to help too! The two of you have too few hands. This kind of mutual help is not uncommon in the countryside, but Widow Yang is still a little embarrassed, she has troubled Chu Jiaqiang many times, and politely refused Chu Jiaqiang's kindness.

"It's okay, I'm idle and have nothing to do anyway. Well! You also go and help pick up the chestnuts, and go back and give you five dollars each. Chu Jiaqiang said to a group of children.

Five dollars was a huge amount of money to them, and they agreed without even thinking about it. Only children in the countryside will understand that five yuan is not easy to come by, and many of the benefits given by parents during the New Year are two yuan, five yuan is rare, and ten yuan is definitely the most.

And the commissary in the village did not dare to buy expensive goods, and sold to children to eat, the most expensive is five cents, generally one or two cents of spicy strips, melon seeds, dried bayberry, etc. A dollar is definitely not sold, adults maybe, even if children have money, they are reluctant to take out a dollar at once.

Widow Yang glanced at Chu Jiaqiang gratefully, not only did she not complain about Chu Jiaqiang's private decision to ask these children to help, but her eyes lit up, and she secretly said that this idea was good. According to Chu Jiaqiang's estimate, her chestnut income should be more than 10,000 yuan, and she will not feel distressed if she gives more than 100 yuan to these children. And I know that these children are still young, only five or six years old, but they are very skilled in picking and picking fruits.

It was still Chu Jiaqiang who was beating in front, and Widow Yang's mother and daughter were picking up with a group of children in the back. When it was almost dark, it was finally done. Widow Yang gave a group of children five dollars each, and sent them away happily.

Widow Yang's chestnuts may have soil quality problems, which are better than those of Chu Jiaqiang's second uncle's family, and the harvest is too much. According to preliminary estimates, the minimum budget this time should also be around 15,000.

Of course, the happiest thing in my heart is Widow Yang, because of the old mother's illness, her two elder brothers' families have emptied their homes, and she is also in debt. Money is really important to them now.

Speaking of this, his two elder brothers were also embarrassed. His relatives are poorer than the other, and if it weren't for the fact that this hard-working sister borrowed so much money, the old mother really wouldn't be saved. They wanted to take the debt, but they didn't dare to speak because of their children's studies. I can only decide in my heart, work hard, save as much as possible, and carry this debt with my sister.

"Jiaqiang, go to the house for dinner at night." Widow Yang said.

"Okay, I'll be over later." Chu Jiaqiang did not refuse, it is normal to help people do work and take care of food. I didn't accept money from others just now, so it would be a bit shameless to invite you to dinner and not go.

Helping to pick the chestnuts back, Chu Jiaqiang returned home and took a bath, and then went to Widow Yang's house for dinner.

In order to entertain Chu Jiaqiang, Widow Yang slaughtered the old duck preparing for the New Year, and added some mountain mushrooms, dried dates, peanuts, etc. to make soup together. Although there is only one type of meat, it is already very rich.

Chu Jiaqiang had just arrived, Widow Yang was taking a bath, and Xiaoya was busy feeding the chickens. After she came out, she saw Chu Jiaqiang and immediately greeted her warmly and asked Xiaoya to hurry up and take a bath.

Chu Jiaqiang secretly glanced at Widow Yang a few times, although she was not wearing a seductive bathrobe like the people in the city, her proud figure was also revealed, her fair skin was white and red because of the freshly scrubbed, and her delicate and transparent body caused people to reverie.

Widow Yang also noticed Chu Jiaqiang's eyes intentionally or unintentionally, her face was slightly red, and her heart was a little confused and she crashed into the kitchen, not daring to be alone with Chu Jiaqiang.

In fact, there are not no people in the village who want to lust for her. The folk customs of a village like Chujiazhai are simple and simple, but not everyone in the village is so honest, and there are also one or two people who play tricks. Although she won't say some unbearable words to her face, there must be something behind her, and sometimes her naked gaze makes her frown.

But Chu Jiaqiang was an accident, and this sneaky look didn't make her annoying, although it didn't feel right.

Shortly after she entered, she screamed. Chu Jiaqiang walked in when he heard the sound, and just happened to see Xiaoya who opened the door of the bathroom and stretched out a head to see what was going on. Xiao Ya also screamed, shrank back sharply, and closed the door. At this time, he was in the bathroom room, his heart was beating wildly, and his face was flushed.

Chu Jiaqiang was also quite embarrassed, he didn't leave, he didn't stay, he just pestle at the kitchen door. After half a sound, he asked embarrassedly, "Aunt Yang, are you okay?" ”

Widow Yang put her finger into the cold water: "It's okay, it's okay!" It may be that the position of the aluminum pot was misplaced before, and the flame burned to the ear of the pot, and it was scalded when the aluminum pot was lifted just now. ”

"It's okay." Chu Jiaqiang stepped forward to help lift the aluminum pot, and then left the awkward kitchen.

When Xiaoya took a bath, two bathing beauties appeared in Chu Jiaqiang's eyes, which made him quite unbearable. Xiaoya is better, he treats Xiaoya as a sister like Chu Jiawan, he doesn't fantasize, he only appreciates, but Widow Yang's mature temperament is very attractive.

Everyone seemed to deliberately avoid this embarrassing scene and hurriedly brought out the meal. When Widow Yang saw that the Chu family was having a strong meal, she hurriedly snatched the bowl and filled the rice for the Chu family. In rural areas, it is not called a special thing to invite guests to eat, and generally do not let guests serve their own meals, and guests will often be reminded to eat between meals.

"Jiaqiang, I don't have any food here, I deign to it! Eat more duck meat, stewed for an hour, it should be delicious enough. Drink two more bowls of soup after a full meal. Widow Yang said.

"There, isn't that great? When I was young, I used to look forward to opening meat once. This old duck stewed just right, but it seems to taste a little lighter, Xiaoya! Go get some salt out. Chu Jiaqiang commanded, it will not be too polite, too restrained will make the owner of the family even more unbearable.

"Isn't it smelly enough?" Widow Yang took a sip of the soup and nodded suddenly, it was indeed too light. They are rural people, and their tastes are a little heavier.

After eating a meal, the atmosphere is a little weird, or a little ambiguous, and it seems that everyone has something on their minds.

After eating and drinking, Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly said goodbye. Widow Yang didn't do much to keep them, Chu Jiaqiang stayed in their house too late, and it was terrible.

Walking out of Widow Yang's house, Chu Jiaqiang took a deep breath. The cool breeze blowing from the mountains is very refreshing, and now that the middle of September has passed, the days are beginning to fall. But in a place like this close to the tropics, autumn is destined to come relatively late, or it is difficult for people to notice, and only in the evening, when the autumn wind blows, can people feel its existence slightly.

Unlike in the north, when autumn comes, the leaves begin to turn yellow, and the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves, which is a very obvious season.
