Chapter 256 Inventory of belongings
Zhang Chunhua was really hurt when she fell to the ground, and she was groaning to calm down - how could she know that Hu Wenhua, a blockhead, had no sympathy for women!
His mother had told him that men would be bastards if they didn't take advantage of a woman, and they would definitely not be able to control themselves if they threw themselves into her arms.
If the villagers saw them hugging each other, what would Hu Wenhua say?
In her village, the villagers' saliva could make the Hu family marry her. As for whether the marriage would be good or not, she would learn from her mother, obey her husband in everything, and give him a son, and then she could control it completely.
Zhang Chunhua, lying on the ground and wailing, couldn't understand why the situation was completely different from what she thought at home.
Was it her mother's teaching that was wrong, or was she not learning well.....
The men who came were all from the village, and they were all stunned when they saw Chunhua fall to the ground.
"It's Chunhua, what's wrong?"
"Why are you here?"
Zhang Tuzi's family and Fan Jin's family don't get along well, and the whole village knows it. Why is Zhang Chunhua, a little girl, coming here for no reason?
She is different from Ding Jiajia. Ding Jiajia's family gets along well with each other, so it's normal for them to come and go. Why did her parents let her come here alone when she is not familiar with them?
Zhang Chunhua lay on the ground, wishing she could bury her face.
But the ground was a clean bluestone slab, hard and cold, and there was no place to hide.
"I'm not saying anything, Chunhua, how could you fall down while walking on flat ground? Be careful when you walk next time." The man with a good eyesight advised kindly.
As soon as he spoke, the other men couldn't help but ask, "Are you hungry?"
"Zhang Tuzi's family exchanged a lot of corn flour with Jinniu's family, so they are not hungry. I think they are tired. Did they do too much work?
But if you are tired of building the wall, just lie down at home. Fortunately, there is no one around this time. If there is someone around next to you, it will be hard to explain next time."
"The words are rough but the truth is true."
They saw Zhang Chunhua standing outside the gate of the yard from a distance. When she was walking towards them, she suddenly fell straight down.
A real fall on the ground!
I don't know how this girl walked.
Hu's mother was very grateful that the gate of her daughter's yard was a hanging flower gate. Unlike ordinary gates, it was concave. Wenhua's back was almost against the gate at that time, so she was not seen.
First, she was lucky, and second, her son knew how to keep a distance from other girls, keep himself clean, and did not take advantage of other girls.
Zhang Chunhua was unwilling to give up, but now she wanted to die!
She supported herself on the bluestone slab with both hands and got ready.
The men in the village watched. It wasn't that they were not enthusiastic, but it was nothing for a girl to fall, but it was different when they went over to help her.
Hu's mother, Qin Yilin and other women saw that the matter was open, and they immediately came forward happily.
Qin Yilin helped the man up and said with a smile: "Come, Aunt Ding will help you up. You, kid, just knock on the door when you come. Don't be anxious if you have anything to do."
"Yes, but if you are a girl and you are shy, next time if you have something to say, ask your parents to come over, or bring other people, don't come alone again."
"By the way, what are you here for this time?"
Zhang Chunhua's face was red, so many eyes were staring at her, she could only bite the bullet and say: "No, I just wanted to come and see Sister Shuiqing."
The people in the yard didn't believe this.
But the men in the village didn't think much of it. They heard from their families that Shuiqing had discovered some medicinal materials, and they might need to recruit people later, or choose from women. The women and girls in the village were very excited.
Zhang Chunhua guessed that she came here for this matter!
No, she must inform her family when she returns home, and visit Shuiqing's house more often to build a good relationship.
Zhang Chunhua limped back with her arm.
It was not until she walked away that the men said to Shuiqing: "I think Chunhua can work, but she is not a quick one. If you want to recruit people in the future, you still have to carefully select them."
"Medicinal materials are expensive, so you can't be careless."
Shuiqing immediately realized that they misunderstood that Zhang Chunhua came here to build relationships for the recruitment of medicinal materials.
However, she did not intend to clarify, and said: "Okay, I remember it."
The men came this time, not to find Hu Wenhua, but to find Fan Jin.
The old village chief and the elders in the village discussed and decided on an ownerless wasteland slope, and used the soil on it to fill the upper soil washed away by the flood in the fertile fields.
The soil on the barren slope is not as fertile as the upper layer of paddy fields, but it is much better than the hardened soil at the bottom. In addition, most people in the village are raising rabbits now, so there is a lot of rabbit feces.
These feces are mixed together to make fertilizer, and filling in can increase the harvest a little.
The old village chief is right. The disaster has already happened. They can only try to minimize the losses now.
And their village is much better than others. At least they have high-yield potatoes and kudzu root on the mountain.
This is hope!
Now there is one more thing, that is, selling rabbits.
"The old village chief said that most of the nearby barren mountains belong to people in the village. The barren slope is a bit far. If your servants get up early tomorrow, it’s better to go with us to avoid digging the wrong land."
Fan Jin had no objection, "Listen to the old village chief, but we have to go out tomorrow. There should be more people when we come back."
They have to go out to buy a donkey.
The man in the village didn't ask much, and he chatted for a while, then got up and went back together.
Their lives are getting more and more different from before.
In the past, it was normal to be busy during the busy farming season. Generally speaking, they were very relaxed during the slack season. However, since last year, they first picked mushrooms all over the mountains, peeled chicken head rice after picking mushrooms, then raised rabbits and planted potatoes, and then helped Mr. Bai deliver potatoes. In between delivering potatoes, they also built fences. After building the fences, they went to sell rabbits without even catching their breath...
Busy during the slack season, even busier during the busy season. The main point is that no one should be idle!
However, it must be said that they are very happy even if they are busy. They feel more at ease and down-to-earth than before.
Otherwise, with the endless impact of the flood, they don’t know how to get by.
Shuiqing counts her belongings at night - this is her favorite part.
Counting money and taking stock of the income items at home.
Last year, the money earned by selling Polygonum multiflorum, brushes and rice wine, and mushrooms, chicken head rice and fish maw, the largest item, in the mall, made money quickly, but this year, they are mostly relying on their old capital.
Rice wine is completely unsalable, and it is unknown when it can be sold.
Brushes cannot be sold. After the flood, there is not much demand for high-end luxury goods such as brushes that cannot be eaten or drunk. Students are also mostly frugal and use old ones when they can.
In the mall, Li Huyu will not be able to come in a short time, and the biggest fish glue income is gone.
The flood not only caused great damage to the fields, but also a devastating blow to the aquatic plants in the lake. The almost grown chicken rice fruit has disappeared without a trace.
This year's chicken head rice is out of the question.
