Chapter 70: Heartbeat
Chapter 70 Heartbeat
Zhao Liya happily thanked him for his return gift. The coconut juice is delicious, the coconut meat is delicious, and he can also make coconut chicken, which is a good thing. Shrimp and fish are even better, and they are delicious in soup or stir-fry.
It's just, why did you mention Mr. Zhou to her so carefully? She said it as if there was some relationship between her and Mr. Zhou, which made her inexplicably confused and out of control.
Zhao Liya had no choice but to maintain her composure, calmness, and generous nod in response, smiling and expressing that they are all welcome to visit her home.
In all fairness, it is really hard for a man like Mr. Zhou to be ignored, to be noticed, and to feel good about a man with excellent appearance, character, and demeanor.
Not to mention that he has helped himself many times.
But she knew very well that she was an exile, no matter how good Mr. Zhou was, it was impossible for her to have anything to do with her.
At most, it's just a little mutual affection.
He didn't look down on himself after knowing that he was a family member of an exiled prisoner from Yancun.
I have to know what is good or bad, but wishful thinking.
Having said that, Zhao Liya felt somewhat regretful and melancholy. For the first time in two lives, she had a secret crush on a man, but it was destined to end without a problem! Her girlish heart is really too miserable, too pitiful!
Let’s focus on making money!
As soon as the accounts were settled, the family had less than 10,000 jin left.
Later, when vendors came to negotiate and tried to buy, Zhao Liya refused to sell.
This is less than 10,000 catties, so there is really no way to sell it.
Who knows if there will be enough seeds for the coming year? If it is not enough, it must not be filled?
These vendors actually wanted to buy from her, transport it to the provincial capital to resell, and earn the difference from the middleman. But with such a small amount, how can a market as big as the provincial capital be enough?
It would be better not to go.
Zhao Liya tactfully refused, but at the same time said that she will grow a lot of potatoes, and there will be many, many potatoes in storage next year that can be sold. It can even be planted for two seasons, and there will be a harvest in June next year.
The vendors were not happy seeing Zhao Liya's refusal to sell. Some even thought that she was hoarding goods. They were dissatisfied with the current price and wanted to raise the price.
Hearing this, he became happy again.
It's only been a few months, and it's not too late.
Some shrewd people took advantage of the situation and asked for a deposit in advance, and came directly to harvest when the time came.
Zhao Liya thought for a while, then smiled and said: "How much is the market price at that time, but now it is hard to say, but since the boss is here, it is not good to let the boss go empty-handed. In this way, if you want to make a reservation, you can follow the The price of four cents per catty is paid in advance of one thousand catties, and then one thousand catties will be sold at this price, and if you want to buy more, you will have to pay at the current market price."
Many bosses agreed and made reservations one after another.
A thousand jin is worth a thousand jin. The price at that time will definitely not be lower than four fen a jin. In other words, they still made a profit.
The potato business came to an end very smoothly, and people in each village began to harvest rice one after another.
The rice has matured, and the golden ears are heavy, and it looks golden from a distance. This is the ration of the big guys for a year. No one doesn't like or cherish it, and there is nothing more important than harvesting rice.
Even Aunt Li Shiyi went home for the autumn harvest temporarily.
The same goes for every household in Yan Village, all busy harvesting rice.
The Gu family has 30 acres of rice fields, but every year they ask the villagers to "help" with planting and harvesting.
This year is no exception.
Unexpectedly, they didn't come to provoke the Zhao family again, and they didn't call the Zhao family to ask people to work. Zhao Liya and the others were all prepared to refuse, but they had a little regret—why didn't they come?
Since they didn't come, the Zhao family didn't take the initiative to provoke them.
Zhao’s family has no paddy fields, but Widow Qu’s family has more than four acres. So he helped Widow Qu harvest.
Mrs. Deng cooked at home, and the two children obediently helped wash the vegetables and feed the chickens. Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya, and Hu Ling all went to the fields to help, plus Qu Widow and Qu Yutao. The five of them worked together at a considerable speed. Envious of others.
Widow Qu’s four-mu paddy fields are not connected in one place, but in three places. The farthest two mu is more than six miles away from the village.
The nearest one is near the entrance of the village. It is also a coincidence that it is adjacent to Luo's paddy fields.
In Luo’s rice field, only Luo Shuyan is harvesting.
This large connected paddy field belongs to many families. It is the autumn harvest season, and there are people working in many fields. In other people's paddy fields, the whole family can go to battle, which makes Luo Shuyan feel alone.
The villagers sighed when they saw it.
Zhao Liya clearly heard the people passing by shake their heads and sighed: "The Luo family couple are really not human. They deliberately used Shuyan girl, didn't they just want to force Lin Mo's cousin to help? It is strange to say that the two brothers used to I’m here to help, why don’t you see me this time?”
"Hey, I'm not stupid, how can I keep going on like this endlessly? I won't come if I can't see the end of it"
"makes sense."
Zhao Liya couldn't help but glanced at Luo Shuyan, as if aware of it, Luo Shuyan also looked up at her, met her gaze, nodded and smiled slightly at her.
Zhao Liya also nodded and smiled.
Luo Shuyan is very thin, with a small melon-shaped face, her complexion is slightly pale, but her facial features are very delicate, and that kind of calm temperament is unreasonably endearing.
She worked unhurriedly, sometimes raising her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Zhao Liya and the others have almost finished cutting a field on their side, and only a small part of her field has been cut.
Zhao Liya's heart moved, and she thought that Yu Xiaofang really told Luo Shuyan that Luo Shuyan's working speed is very normal.
Not long after, Luo Shuyan's aunt Qi Shi and her father, Uncle Luo, came. Seeing that Luo Shuyan had only done such a small amount of work, Qi Shi was furious, pointed at Luo Shuyan and cursed: "Damn girl, you have been working hard for half a day!" Cut off so much? Did you break your hand! If you don’t work harder, don’t eat today!”
As she spoke, she glared at her husband and cursed: "Look at this **** girl, did she do it on purpose? If you don't harvest it quickly, the rice will fall into the field and be lost in vain! When the time comes, the whole family If you can’t eat, it’s up to you! Why did you raise such a white-eyed wolf and a loser! Look at her, look at her, she’s still sluggish! I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t intentional!”
Luo Shuyan simply stood up and did not move.
Uncle Luo frowned, "Shuyan, didn't you hear what your mother said? Why are you still standing there!"
