"Teacher Song Xi, did you make use of the three acres of sandy land behind the school? What is suitable for planting there? Qian Weimin looked at Song Xi with anticipation on his face.

Because there is too much sandy land that cannot be planted in Ping'an Village, if it can be used, then everyone's living standard can really rise to another level.

Of course, Song Xi can understand what Qian Weimin means, but she can't agree now, after all, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng.

"I planted a little broad beans and a little potato, I want to try to see if I can grow it, I plan to go up the mountain to find some small wild fruit seedlings to cultivate after the spring, although I can't make money, but I can make the children in the village sweet! Besides, going up the mountain is still dangerous for children, and if it can be cultivated in school, everyone will not have to go up the mountain in the future. ”

"Okay, if you still have anything you want to plant and lack space, you can tell the village, and the village will definitely help you arrange it properly."

Qian Weimin found that Song Xi was a little talented in planting, so he was very supportive of her decision, and besides, all these decisions she made were for the sake of the village.

"Then thank you Uncle Qian, if I need to, I will definitely not be polite to Uncle Qian." Song Xi really needs a lot of land.

Because the grapefruit seeds and orange seeds she planted on the roof of the supermarket have already sprouted, and when the spring begins after the year, they can be transplanted outside.

At that time, a large area of land will be needed, and no matter how big the supermarket roof is, it will not be able to withstand thousands of grapefruit trees!

The school is open five days a week, with Saturdays and Sundays off.

Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua have already started to help Song Xi dig wild vegetables and winter bamboo shoots, there are not many wild vegetables in the wild in winter, only chives and shepherd's cabbage, Song Xi asked Zhou Xiaoshu to dig these two for her.

The reason why there are several kinds of wild vegetables in her family's vegetable garden is because she has spiritual spring water, and the wild vegetables watered with spiritual spring water are not afraid of the cold and still grow strongly.

Because there are nine hemp ducks and eleven rabbits at home, the demand for wild vegetables is quite large, which Zhou Yi also knows, so Song Xi let them come to the house to trade.

As for the winter bamboo shoots, Song Xi will only occasionally feed the rabbits and let them eat them as snacks, while the others are temporarily stored in the supermarket and will be processed when he is free.

And this Saturday, Song Xi went to Xu Yunying's house with a basket on his back, and the courtyard of Xu Yunying's house was planted with vegetables given by Song Xi, which was lush and green, and Xu Yunying was rubbing clothes by the well at the moment.

Most of the wells in Ping'an Village are dug by the villagers themselves, because they need to pay money to dig wells with the people of the well digging team, and there are quite a few of them, and no one is willing to take so much money to dig a well.

"Aunt Yunying." Song Xi shouted as he walked inside.

"Xiaoxi, why are you here?" The three children in the family all went to dig wild vegetables, and Xu Yunying was the only one left, she wiped the water on her hands and hurried over to close the courtyard door.

Song Xi took off the heavy basket on his back, took a breath and said, "Aunt Yunying, I have something I want to ask you, is it okay?" ”

"Xiaoxi, if there is anything, you can just say it." Her three children are now being taught so well by Song Xi, so Song Xi has something, how could she refuse?

Song Xi lifted the burlap bag on the back basket, revealing the densely washed and clean shining snails inside, "Aunt Yunying, go to the snail tail, a penny and a catty, are you willing to do it?" If I am willing to do it, I can send one or two baskets to my aunt every day. ”

"This ......" Xu Yunying looked at Song Xi, her pupils trembled, was that what she was thinking?

Song Xi knew that Xu Yunying was confused, so he explained, "My classmates in the city, they are not in supply, and they actually don't have anything to eat, so I asked me to help them find some wild goods in the mountains, but they have to go to school, and the family has to go to work, and they don't have time to deal with these things, so they want me to deal with them for them, and now I am familiar with Aunt Yunying, I think my aunt is a diligent and clean person, and I can be both relaxed and relieved to hand over this matter to my aunt." ”

"Xiaoxi, give me this money, then you ......" Something with such a heavy muddy smell is actually a penny and a catty, shouldn't Song Xi let her earn all the money?

"The price they give my classmates is three cents a catty, one point for picking up snails, one point for washing snails, one point for Aunt Yunying who is responsible for removing the tail of snails, we all have earnings, all Aunt Yunying don't have to worry."

Song Xi really didn't have time to deal with the tails of the snails one by one, just so that Xu Yunying could earn some pocket money.

If it's 100 catties a day, it's one dollar, and it's 30 yuan a month, where is it still pocket money, the income of a proper city worker.

"That's good." As long as you don't rob Song Xi of the money he should make, it's fine.

"Aunt Yunying, I have fifty catties here, so I'll hand it over to Aunt Yunying first, let's try to see how much we can handle in a day, and then I'll send as much as I can send to Aunt Yunying." Song Xi left five cents and fifty catties of snails, and turned back.

Xu Yunying pinched the scattered five cents, and was very excited in her heart.

She was afraid that she would not be able to support her three children by herself, but now everything is going in a good direction.

Now on the ninth of every month, the village will send five yuan, and the five yuan belongs to her own in her hands.

In the past, when she was at Zhou Dazhu's house, Zhou Dazhu's mother was in charge of the family's money, and no matter how much work she did and how much money she earned, it had nothing to do with her.

After leaving Zhou Dazhu's house, she can finally manage her own money and be the master of her own house.

And now there is another job to remove the tail of the snail, and their life will not be bad in the future.

Xu Yunying washed the clothes of several people and put them on the bamboo poles, then took scissors and began to remove the tails of the snails one by one.

Song Xi was not idle when he returned home, called Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua over, and asked Zhou Xiaoshu to call Mo Jingxiang and Mo Ziqiu over to help her dry potato chips together.

Song Xi took out the 640 catties of potatoes he had bought in the previous two markets, first selected the good potatoes, the ones with scars, cut off the scars with a knife, and cut off the bad parts with a knife.

Zhou Xiaohua and Mo Ziqiu, two eight-year-old children, were responsible for cleaning and peeling, Mo Jingxiang and Zhou Xiaoshu were responsible for cutting the potatoes into thin slices, while Song Xi was responsible for the next two processes, boiling water to scald the potato chips, and spreading the scalded potato slices to dry the water on the drying tools and placing them in the yard to use the sun to expose them.

Although the winter sun is not very strong now, she is just making a show, and when the children go back, she will directly transfer the dustpan to the roof of the supermarket, because the temperature is suitable for it.

Several people were busy until noon, and they had processed all the more than 600 catties of potatoes, and looking at the large dustpans drying in the yard, Song Xi's face was a satisfied smile.
