Chapter 98: Lest the night be long and dreamy
"Hey, I said it looks familiar? Is it really you?! ”
The man's familiar voice came.
He stood up and turned his head to look over.
I did see it, I saw it a few months ago, what is it called......
"Are you ......?" She hesitated, looking at the two men who were already standing not far in front of her.
He Jiang patted the shoulder of the good buddy next to him, looked at the flower, and said with a smile, "I, He Jiang!" I just saw it a while ago! ”
Only then did Hua Shi think of his name, it was indeed called He Jiang......
And she remembered that the last time she saw He Jiang, Xie Mingchi had another young master who was very generous, and this one named He Jiang should be good brothers with Xie Mingchi.
The man beside He Jiang looked at Hua Shi's eyes a little strange, and his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Hua Shi and He Jiang only had a one-sided relationship, so they were not familiar, so they only smiled at him and nodded, not wanting to say anything too much, "That, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
With two adult men who are not familiar with each other, they have no intention of talking when they spend time, and all their thoughts are in their winter dates that cannot be sold.
He Jiang saw that her clothes were shabby and thin, her head and body were covered with snow, her shoes and trouser legs were also wet with snow, and her face was purple from the cold.
The two men with rough skin and thick flesh had two thick cotton jackets on their bodies, and they both felt cold outside, let alone a thinly dressed woman......
Although he doesn't return to the village often, he has heard rumors about it in the past few months......
"Wait, where are you going? It's winter, it's still snowing, why don't you stay at home and what are you doing when you go out? ”
He Jiang stopped the person and asked casually.
Zhang Qingsheng, who was beside him, noticed the basket she was carrying in her hand, which was heavy inside, as if it contained something, but it was covered tightly with cloth, making it difficult to see.
After He Jiang finished asking, he also noticed that she was carrying a basket in her hand, and then quickly guessed something.
In this winter, I came out carrying things, and the clothes on my body were also tattered, and there were no good ones, and people were frozen like this, and they had to stay up.
Come to think of it, what should be contained here, and it should be taken somewhere else to exchange for food, or something......
He Jiang hesitated for a moment, but still asked enthusiastically, "Are you going to change something?" Do you need our help? ”
In front of him, this is the new daughter-in-law that Brother Xie's family found for him, and it has been rumored in the village for a while, although Brother Xie didn't say anything, but he didn't object.
This can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, in short, after the New Year, the wedding wine was held, which can be regarded as Brother Xie's daughter-in-law, and they will also call their sister-in-law.
At this time, seeing what difficulties my sister-in-law encountered, they can help, but they can't stand idly by.
Zhang Qingshan, who was beside him, probably had what he thought, and when he saw He Jiang asking out loud, he followed He Jiang's words and looked at Hua Shi together.
Hua Shi was not familiar with the two, but he didn't expect He Jiang to ask about her, and when his mind turned, he suddenly remembered what Hua Yu had mentioned before.
She seemed to remember that Hua Yu said that He Jiang and Xie Mingchi often seemed to go back to the village to collect some prey from the mountains, and then resell it to the town......
When he took away the cloth covering the basket, revealing the winter dates inside, he explained, "This is the winter dates I picked in the mountains yesterday, and I see that they are not bad, so I want to sell them in the village to see if I can sell them and make some money." ”
Her words made He Jiang and Zhang Qingshan subconsciously glance at each other.
Both of them were a little surprised.
He Jiang frowned, although he couldn't bear to break the thought in her heart, but looking at this cold day, this date could not be sold in the village, so he said,
"Sister-in-law, you can't sell this thing in the village, the village is close to the mountains, almost grew up in the mountains, they have seen a lot of wild fruits in the mountains, and it is not unusual, so no one is willing to sell these things for money."
Isn't this a pure waste of money......
There are few wealthy people in the village, and every penny is eager to be broken in half and spent, and the money is used on the blade.
So what he said was the truth, no one wants to spend money on this kind of wild fruit that is not full, and can only be regarded as a child's snack to eat.
Zhang Qingshan, who was on the side, nodded approvingly.
Indeed, it is good that the people in the village can eat enough, where do they get the spare money to buy this kind of food......
Without waiting for Hua Shi to speak, He Jiang said again, "I see that your face is blue from the cold, and there are so many left in the basket, you shouldn't have sold anything, right?" Otherwise, I see that your winter dates are indeed okay, if you believe me, I can help you mention them to the town to sell. ”
Zhang Qingshan also nodded kindly, "It's true, there are many big families in the town, and most people have a surplus, maybe they will be interested in these." ”
Hua Shi didn't expect He Jiang to say this, she was still thinking about whether she could say hello to He Jiang, ask him when he would return to the village, and wait for the next time she caught a hunt from the mountains, and looked for a sale to him.
I never thought that he was willing to help her sell these winter dates, of course it was good for someone to help, she nodded and said, "If you are willing to help me, it is naturally good, if you can sell it, we will have four or six points for this money, you four and I six, how about it?" ”
He Jiang was obviously willing to help her because of Xie Mingchi's face, but she couldn't let others run for nothing, although the money was not much, she still had to give others some compensation.
There is a coming, there is a next time, and cooperation can last for a long time......
He Jiang brought the basket over, and when he heard her say that he wanted to give himself the money, he refused without thinking about it, "Don't share me, it's just a convenient matter, and it may not be able to sell it, so don't have too much hope." ”
He knew in his heart that this was not a rare thing in the village, and it would not be a rare thing in the town, and maybe it wouldn't be able to sell it.
Moreover, it will take him about two days and one night to get to the town, and when he brings things to the town, the winter dates will not be fresh, and there will be no hope.
So he didn't have any hope at all, he just sold her personal favor, and he didn't think about taking any benefit from her......
The three of them chatted a few more times before they separated.
Hua Shi told He Jiang the price of winter dates, so that he could be more flexible, and the price could be appropriately increased or decreased.
If you can sell it, let He Jiang use all your silver money to buy sugar, crude white sugar, brown sugar cubes, anyway, sugar.
He Jiang agreed, and after seven days, they met under this banyan tree.
This time and again, it will take almost five days at the earliest, and the road is slippery in snow, and the road is not easy to walk, He Jiang also has his own business.
After the three separated, Hua Shi rushed back along the village road in the direction of Hua's house.
She didn't know if the winter dates could be sold......
If it can be sold, it is the best, if it can't, then ......
There is still a large area of jujube forest in the mountains, if they can't sell it and can't make money, then I'm afraid they can only digest it internally.
She didn't know what that 'Peach Blossom Town' in their sky was like, but she really wanted to see it.
Knowing the specific appearance and situation of the town, you may be able to think of other ways to make money......
Set up a stall to sell snacks or something, but if you sell snacks, it's too far away, and you can't run back and forth between Shoushan Village and Taohua Town, it's too tossed......
"Bang,"
While his thoughts were rolling, he had unconsciously walked back to the small courtyard of the Hua family, pushed open the door, and then raised his eyes to see four people sitting neatly under the eaves......
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, and with a body of wind and snow, he pretended to calmly meet the gaze of four people and eight pairs of eyes, and walked to the eaves in front of the hall.
She was a little surprised, because Hua Yu didn't go out today, and it was the first time that the four brothers and sisters appeared together so neatly.
Hua Xiao tugged on the second brother's sleeve and whispered, "Second brother, she's back......"
Hua Shi naturally heard the little girl's muttering, and couldn't help but think of the little girl named Niu'er in the only dates that were sold......
There have been a lot of gossips about her in the village before, and she doesn't need to think about it to know whose credit it is......
"Flowers, let's talk."
When Hua Shi was about to walk back to the house in disregard of the four of them, Hua Yu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Hua Shi stopped, turned his head, and looked quietly.
Hua Yu met her gaze and said lightly, "We agreed to hand over all the winter dates we picked back to you for disposal, although we can't sell these dates, but if we are hungry and need it to fill our stomachs, you can't stop us from eating them." ”
Hua Shi and Hua Li on the side stood behind their second brother, looking at Hua Shi tightly, they didn't object, and obviously agreed.
After a night, the three brothers and sisters, who were still strongly opposed last night, seemed to have figured it out at this time, so they casually agreed to the request she made last night, but with an additional condition.
Hua Shi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but you'd better talk about it, and if I find out that you have gone back on your word, there is no need to talk to me about this in the future." ”
Hua Xiao listened to her lofty words, felt extremely uncomfortable, and pursed her lips disdainfully.
Speak as if she had something......
Forget it, anyway, the second brother also said that the winter dates are not worth much in the village, they are not a rare thing, they take it, and they can't sell it.
They don't have anything to eat now, and instead of fighting with Hua Shi for the winter dates that may not be sold, it is better to promise her that at least they have something to eat and will not go hungry......
"Okay."
Hua Yu readily agreed.
Seeing that the two parties had reached a consensus, Hua Li on the side almost immediately looked at Hua Shi and asked, "Then when will we pass?" Can you go now? ”
If they don't go today, they will still be hungry today, and they won't have anything to eat......
Hua Shi hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the snowflakes that were still falling, and then nodded and said, "I'll wait until I go back to the house to get something, and then I can go." ”
She didn't have anything to eat on hand, and if she didn't go today, not only would she be hungry, but she was also a little worried, because if the road into the mountain was blocked by snow after the snow fell, she might not be able to get in after that.
Lest you have too many dreams at night, it is better to go early and feel at ease.
Fortunately, she also remembered the road in that place, and if she knew the road, she would come and go, and her hands and feet would be faster, and she would be able to go down the mountain before dark.
This time, I won't be greedy, just pick up some enough to eat in the next few days......
