In the end, the thank you gift that day still allowed Jin Zhu to take home, but it was sent to Li Xiang through the hands of Jin Yang and Jin Liu, and Jin Zhu specially instructed Jin Yang to say that it was a thank you gift from the four Jin Zhu sisters and brothers.

According to Jin Yang, Li Xiang opened the box and looked at the contents of the box, and it took him a long time to say two words, "Thank you".

Anyway, Jin Zhu gave things away, which can be regarded as a matter of care, and the next time, she has to concentrate on preparing for the final exam.

This year's Spring Festival came relatively early, the final exam was scheduled for January 15th, and the 20th returned to school to get the transcript, Jin Zhu knew that she took 25 places in the final exam, and she passed mathematics for the first time, scoring 66 points.

Jin Zhu, who came home from vacation, began to be busy making money again, she taught the remaining dozen silk handkerchiefs to Jin Yang embroidery, and began to embroider lace herself.

Who knew that she hadn't finished embroidering a piece of lace, and Li Xiang came to find her, saying that he wanted to take her and Jin Yang to dig winter bamboo shoots and sell them.

"My uncle's house also has an inn, he collects some winter bamboo shoots at this time of year, tourists from other places especially like to eat, and that kind of wild mushrooms, which are sold more expensive, but unfortunately there are not many in this season, and they are only available in spring." Li Xiang explained.

Although Jin Zhu was curious about why he came to the door again, but now she really didn't want to get too close to him, and when she was hesitating, Li Xiang said again: "The painting tools you gave me last time are not cheap, I accepted them, but I can't accept such an expensive gift from you in vain, although I can't afford to pay you back, but we can think about making money together as before." ”

"That's it, eldest sister, why don't I take Jin Liu and Jin Niu with me, you still stay at home to embroider lace, and my father used to dig winter bamboo shoots, and there are small hoes and baskets at home." Jin Yang came over and said.

She knew that Jin Zhu didn't want to get too close to Li Xiang, but Jin Yang didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money, and besides, Jin Zhu stayed at home to embroider lace, so she could earn double money, so Jin Yang's proposal couldn't be more suitable.

"It's okay, it's troublesome Brother Xiang, the Taurus is too small to walk, so don't follow." Jin Zhu agreed.

Although Li Xiang was a little disappointed when he heard this, he also knew that such an arrangement was indeed more reasonable, and he had long expected that Jin Zhu would do this, but he didn't expect this to come out of Jin Yang's mouth.

It is said that Li Xiang took Jin Yang and Jin Liu out of the door, crossed the river from the east end of the village, passed through a peach forest and paddy fields, and came to the foot of a mountain, and then there was a large bamboo forest.

But this bamboo forest basically can't dig any winter bamboo shoots, because the old people and children in the village also come to dig winter bamboo shoots, to cross this mountain, to the back mountain of this bamboo forest, there is a farther away, there are fewer people to go, there will be more winter bamboo shoots.

"Jin Yang, did your sister win the award in this essay contest?" Li Xiang asked.

"Of course, the first prize, but unfortunately, there is no bonus, only a water glass." Jin Yang has no regrets.

"Really, your sister's essay is so good?" Li Xiang was a little surprised.

The children in the mountains don't have any extracurricular books, and there are relatively few good essays, and because he is good at reading, the teachers at the school will always privately borrow some extracurricular books to expand his horizons, so he has never won awards for his compositions, but he has won several awards in mathematics competitions.

"Not only that, but my sister's math score has also come up, I heard that she scored 66 points in the test this time, and she passed the test for the first time, and the total score was ranked 25th, right?" Jin Liu said with a tilt of his head on the side.

"That's a lot of progress." Li Xiang laughed happily.

"Brother Xiang, why didn't you come to our house when you went home a few times ago?" Jin Yang asked.

"This? The first few times I went home, it took only two days, so I was in a hurry. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li remembered his conversation with his grandmother the night before.

When he got home yesterday afternoon, after dinner, he didn't wait for Ma Po to find him, he took the initiative to find Ma Po, and frankly admitted that he would take the Jinzhu sisters to dig winter bamboo shoots to earn money this holiday.

"Grandma, Jin Zhu heard Aunt Meiying say that I had no money to learn to paint at the village chief's house, so she specially bought a set of painting tools for me, and that set of tools cost her five or six hundred yuan, she was afraid that I would not accept it, so she specially asked Jin Yang and Jin Liu to send it, saying that it was to thank me for saving her four sisters and brothers, and it was a thank you gift for their four sisters and brothers. I accepted this gift, grandmother, and I knew that it would not be easy for them either, so I wanted to take Jin Yang and Jin Liu to dig up winter bamboo shoots. ”

"Jin Yang and Jin Liu? You mean the gold beads don't go? Mapo looked up at her grandson.

"She learned to embroider silk handkerchiefs, I heard Jin Yang say that she embroidered silk handkerchiefs at home during the National Day and Miao Year holidays, saying that she could embroider five or six a day, and one could earn more than ten yuan, so she didn't go out with me to sell things later, and asked Jin Yang and Jin Liu to go with me." Li Xiang learned how he took Jin Yang and Jin Liu to sell zongzi and silk handkerchiefs during the National Day.

Ma Po listened for a while and did not speak.

She didn't expect that in just a few months, Jinzhu actually really supported a family, not only would make zongzi to sell, but also learned to embroider silk handkerchiefs, by the way, and make dresses, I heard that she also raised a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese.

This girl is much more capable than she thought.

It's a pity, no matter how capable she is, her family's foundation is here, what can she bring to Li Xiang? Also, the most important thing is that Ma Po knows that Jin Zhu's academic performance is not good at all, and her grandson is going to go to university.

But the problem is that her grandson she understands that Li Xiang is interested in that girl, the first two times she came home, although she didn't restrain him and didn't let him go out, and Li Xiang did not go out, she was at home with her head bored and painting, but there was no smile on her face.

But when she saw her grandson looking at her with begging eyes, Mapo couldn't say anything cruel.

"Forget it, grandma doesn't care about you, you have to know what you're doing, you two are so young, where can you say what will happen in the future, but grandma has one thing in front, if one of you two is not admitted to college, this thing can't be done."

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm a student now, in addition to studying, I just want to earn money, and I will talk about the future later."

Because of this conversation, Li Xiang ran into Jin Zhu's house in a hurry this morning, but Jin Zhu still sent Jin Yang and Jin Liu out with him.

But then again, Li Xiang felt that such an arrangement was good, so that the people in the village would not be able to gossip when they saw him and Jinzhu together, he knew that Jinzhu's face was quite thin, and he was also quite conservative, otherwise he would not have given him a slap after being rescued and woke up, and he would not have dared to open his eyes to look at him when he came to thank him.

"Brother Xiang, what do you want? I ask you where are the winter bamboo shoots? Jin Yang searched for a long time and didn't see a single winter bamboo shoot, and he was quite disappointed.

Li Xiang listened, hurriedly restrained his thoughts, and wholeheartedly taught Jin Yang and Jin Liu how to find winter bamboo shoots.

The three of them searched in the bamboo forest for most of the day, and when they were hungry, they ate two glutinous rice cakes, until the baskets of the three people were almost full, and then they went home, and it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Xiang, who returned home, did not delay, pushed the car out of the house directly, and shouted that Jin Yang and Jin Liu went to Tianjiazhai together, and when they came back from Tianjiazhai, Jin Yang smiled and took out seventy-five yuan from her pocket.

"How can there be so many?" Jin Zhu looked at her suspiciously.

"Eldest sister, we are two baskets, a total of 25 catties, three yuan a catty."

"What about Ahh

"His basket is bigger than ours, and he earns eighty dollars alone."

Jin Zhu nodded and didn't say anything more.

From this day on, Li Xiang would come over every morning to call Jin Yang and Jin Liu, the three of them were not busy in vain, Jin Yang and Jin Liu could basically get back sixty or seventy yuan a day, some of those winter bamboo shoots were sent to Li Xiang's uncle's house, and some were sent to Yang Xiaolan.

On this day, Jin Zhu was chopping sweet potato vines and preparing to cook pig food, only to see Jin Niu running back with a anxious face.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, I heard Jinbao say that Dad will come back tomorrow,"

"What? So fast? ”

Jin Zhu has the impression that Yang Dali and his family come back every year, why did they advance this year?

Jin Zhu had already made an appointment with Yang Xiaolan and planned to kill the pig on the twenty-fourth year of the lunar month, but today it was only twenty-two?

"Jinbao said that Dad will leave tomorrow or will he come home tomorrow?" Jin Zhu asked.

Taurus shook his head.

"Jin Niu, you go and call Jin Xing, and say that the eldest sister is making dumplings."

When the Taurus heard this, he turned his head and ran.

In the past few days, Jin Zhu has made a lot of dumplings in order to bring rice to the three of Jin Yang, and fried them in oil in the morning and put them in the lunch box, which is better than eating glutinous rice cakes for a few of them.

As soon as Jin Zhu washed his hands, he saw Jin Xing and Jin Bao coming, and Jin Niu said that they met on the road.

"Sister Jinzhu, my mother-in-law asked me to tell you that your father bought a ticket for tomorrow and went home, and when he got home the night after tomorrow, he asked you to clean up the house, and make something delicious."

"Clean up and make something delicious? What does that mean? Jin Zhuhu looked at Jin Xing suspiciously, it was understandable that his father would come home and cook something delicious, but why did he emphasize cleaning up?

Jin Xing pursed her lips and smiled, but instead of speaking, she went into the room to take a look.

"Sister Jinzhu, what do you eat for lunch?"

When Jin Zhu saw her gluttony, she didn't want to deal with her, but she suddenly thought that she had called her, so she asked Jin Niu to cook two plates of dumplings, and it was just time for her and Jin Niu to eat lunch.

Seeing the dumplings, Jin Xingcai said with a smile: "Sister Jin Zhu, I heard your father tell your mother-in-law that he found you a stepmother." ”

"What?" Jin Zhu was taken aback, this news was too exciting.

She doesn't know how to deal with this Yang Dashan, and another stepmother has appeared?

No wonder when he called that day, Yang Dashan said that he was useful for the money, and he dared to find a woman outside.

However, he can't find a woman to play the idea of four gold beads, right? Jin Zhu didn't ask him to raise their four siblings, but Yang Dashan couldn't let Jin Zhu help him raise women, right?

Sending Jin Xing and Jin Bao away, Jin Zhu found out the passbook and deposit certificate at home, and the 20,000 and a half fixed deposit certificate Jin Zhu planned to send it to Li Xiang, there were 4,500 yuan on the current passbook, and Jin Zhu still had more than 600 yuan in cash on hand, plus the money from selling pigs the day after tomorrow, Jin Zhu felt that he could almost fool Yang Dashan.

Of course, she will never give this money to Yang Dashan, but she will let him know that they only have this money in their hands, and they will keep it for studying.

Jin Zhu and Jin Yang just arranged the affairs of the family, handed over the deposit certificate to Li Xiang, the pig was sold, the money was recovered, and the whole money of the family also entered the bank, and Yang Dashan really entered the door with three people.
