Chapter 42: Returning to the Village [2]
After locking the door, Xiang Wan took out the milk and bread from the platform and ate it.
The three of them drank until nine o'clock in the evening, and after Fu Cuiju and Hua Peirong brought people home, Xiang Wan helped the drunk Xiang Xiong back to the house to lie down.
"Girl, where's my daughter?" Xiang Xiong lay on the bed humming and chirping, waving his two hands to find Xiang Guan.
"Dad, I'll wipe your face," Xiang Wan brought a washcloth to wipe Xiang Xiong's face and let him sleep more comfortably.
Xiang Xiong didn't know if he understood it, anyway, he didn't move anymore, and obediently let Xiang Guan wipe his face.
After that, Xiang Wan opened the window in the room, lit a plate of mosquito coils, and finally turned on the fan again, and then closed the door and went out to clean up the mess on the dinner table.
After Xiang Wan cleaned up the table, the mung bean soup was also cooled, Xiang Wan put the mung bean soup into Xiang Xiong's kettle, and put cold water to calm it.
By the time Xiang Wan returned to his room and lay down, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
The next day, Xiang Wan got up and Xiang Xiong was no longer at home, and there was a note on the table, which was full of father's instructions to his daughter, and he was not at ease between the lines.
There was also a ten-yuan note pressed under the note, so that Xiang Guan could eat better these days.
Xiang Wan couldn't help but smile, then ate the breakfast prepared by Xiang Xiong, and followed Wu Yan to school.
For the next three days, Xiang Guan was studying, and he either ate lunch and dinner in the cafeteria, or ate self-heating rice or noodles exchanged by the platform.
During this period, Fu Cuiju and Hua Peirong both came to the house and asked Xiang Guan to go to the house for dinner, but they were both rejected by Xiang Guan.
Xiang Xiong came back on the morning of the fourth day, and when he came back, he brought large bags and small bags of various mountain goods, all of which were stuffed by the villagers in the village.
When Xiang Wan came home at noon, he saw a bunch of things on the table, and then looked at Xiang Xiong, who was cooking in the kitchen, and smiled: "Dad, when did you come back?" ”
"When I arrived at home at nine o'clock in the morning, those on the table were the mountain goods given by the villagers in the village, and my father stewed soup for you in the past two days to replenish your body."
Xiang Wan smiled and nodded, and while sorting things away, he asked, "You guys went well this time, right?" How much tea is harvested? ”
"Many, but many, there is a mountain full of wild tea trees, Xiao Peng went up the mountain on the day to see, and then organized the village people to go to the mountains to pick tea, one person a day to five cents, fortunately now is not the peak season of crops, otherwise it is really difficult to harvest things these days."
Saying that, Xiang Xiong brought out the prepared meal and continued: "Xiao Peng loaded a cart full of tea this time, and a village person helped pick it for two days, and the receipt was quite large, and he also said that he would collect it next year, so that the village chief would usually help take care of it. ”
What is the concept of a cart full of tea, Xiang Wan couldn't imagine how spectacular it was, thought for a while and asked, "How much did those tea leaves cost?" ”
"Originally, Xiao Peng was going to give a dime and a catty, but the people in the village felt embarrassed, and said that the final five cents a catty was mainly because no one had taken care of the tea in the mountains, and the five cents were also for nothing."
Xiang Wan raised his eyebrows: "Then Brother Peng has to be happy this time, the harvest is so big." ”
Xiang Xiong smiled and nodded: "No, you have to let me pack a bag and bring it back, but seriously, although those tea leaves are wild, they taste sweet and quench their thirst, and those crop men in the countryside like to drink this." ”
"That's good."
Generally, the tea drunk in the countryside is the cheapest tea to buy, or it is to pick the wild tea trees in the mountains, and the tea brewed is sweet and mellow, which quenches thirst and refreshes the spirit.
Unlike the later tea, various varieties emerge in endlessly, and the price is particularly expensive, all of which are artificially reproduced, which is not as pure as the wild one.
Xiang Wan suddenly had the idea of harvesting tea saplings, so he asked, "Dad, do those tea trees have saplings?" ”
"Then why not, otherwise how can those tea trees multiply from a few to a mountain, this time I went to many tea trees under the saplings, in a few years maybe there will be more tea trees, if Xiao Peng harvests tea every year, those tea trees can be used as a good source of income for the village."
Xiang Guan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Dad, when I have a long vacation, let's go back to the village to have a look, I haven't been back since I was so old." ”
Xiang Xiong naturally didn't agree.
As soon as the two finished lunch, Xiang Hui came to the door, and when he faced Xiang Guan, he was full of smiles, and Xiang Guan's heart was furious.
Or Xiang Xiong knows his sister best, and said angrily while drinking tea: "If you have something, just say it, what are you doing with a grin?" ”
Xiang Hui's expression stiffened for a moment, and after he sat down beside Xiang Xiong, he said softly: "Brother, I heard that you have made money recently, how much money have you made?" ”
Xiang Xiong glanced at Xiang Hui strangely, and his tone was light: "Who told you?" Can I make money this way? ”
"Oh, you don't care who tells me, you just say whether you make money or not! Hey, what are you looking at me like this, I'll ask, and I won't ask you to borrow money. ”
Xiang Xiong glanced at his daughter, and said slowly: "I made some money, but I used it to pay off my debts." ”
"I heard what kind of schoolbag you're making, I see a lot of people in your girls' school are carrying it, what do you think of those styles? Not to mention, it's really good-looking. ”
Yes, the intention is clear, Xiang Wan glanced at the two of them, and then went back to the room.
Xiang Hui's mind was full of money-making business, and he didn't care about his niece's attitude at all, so he pulled Xiang Xiong and continued: "Brother, I'm your own sister, you have to think about me if you have something to make money, my skills are also quite good, and I must do it faster than yours, why don't you teach me?" ”
Xiang Xiong guessed Xiang Hui's intention, thought for a while and said: "Those styles are all painted by Xiaoguan, if you really want to learn, ask her, if she agrees, I will teach you." ”
"Hey, you're the head of the family, can you still speak? What does she know about a little girl, she still can't listen to a word from you. ”
Xiang Xiong's eyes sank, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Either my daughter agrees, or you don't touch it, that's all." ”
Xiang Hui was helpless, angry and didn't dare to show it, and after a long while, he nodded indignantly, and walked towards Xiang Wan's room.
Xiang Wan heard the words of the two clearly in the room, so before Xiang Hui came in, he said, "I have no opinion, you can do it if you want." ”
Xiang Hui's open mouth didn't close for a long time, and after a while, he walked to Xiang Xiong's side with a smile: "You heard it, your daughter has no opinion." ”
"I heard, the style map is in my house, go get it yourself."
Xiang Hui got the quasi-letter, walked to Xiang Xiong's room in three steps and two steps, picked up the drawings on the sewing machine and looked at them again, and finally took the drawings of the two styles together: "Thank you, then I'll go back and ponder first." ”
After saying that, go without stopping.
Xiang Xiong looked at the girl who came out helplessly: "Didn't you always dislike your aunt, why did you agree so easily?" ”
