Xiang Nan from Daxiang Village dumped the charming son of the richest man and married a 28-year-old single leftover man who only owned three thatched huts.
Everyone waited for her to regret i...
Zhou Xiumei looked at Xiangnan who was smirking beside her and said, "You are such a lucky girl."
"Captain Huo, our Xiangnan suffered a lot when she was little. You must love her in the future. You are so much older than her, you must take good care of her."
Zhang Dalei pulled his mother and asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you've grown so much older?"
Isn't this just looking down on old people?
"Well, Xiangnan just saw that I'm older and more caring."
"No, no, no... You don't look old at all, you're only in your twenties, you're still young.
You two should take good care of yourself and have a baby while you are recuperating at home," Zhou Xiumei said worriedly.
Xiangnan has no parents, so only her neighbor can say these things.
The tips of Hod's ears turned red instantly.
Xiangnan knew that her husband was very thin-skinned, and fearing that he would be embarrassed, she quickly said, "Auntie, we will work hard on these.
By the way, I want to buy some chicks to raise. Can you take me to buy them? I don’t know how to choose.”
"sure."
Xiangnan pulled Zhou Xiumei out of the room and asked with a smile, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? My husband is handsome, capable, and loving."
Zhou Xiumei rolled her eyes at her and said, "You don't know what to be ashamed of, but it's really not bad.
He is really the leader, how did you know that?"
"How would I know what kind of group leader he is? It's just like a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse and got away with it.
My husband is shy, so please stop teasing him."
"How dare I tease the captain? I'm telling the truth!
How many chickens do you want to raise? Do you have the time to raise them?" Zhou Xiumei asked.
"I'm busy, so I'm asking my aunt to help me. I'll pay you ten dollars a month and you can help me raise it, okay?"
"No problem, I'll help you raise it."
"Not only will you raise chickens, but you might also be asked to help make cakes."
Zhou Xiumei quickly interrupted her: "That won't work. Your cakes are delicious and it's a unique skill. If I help you make them, I'll have to learn all the skills."
"It's okay, Auntie, you are not someone else. If you learn how to make cakes, you can make them yourself and sell them."
There are many ways to make money, and she doesn't rely solely on selling cakes.
Seeing that Huo De liked braised cold dishes very much, she thought this was also an opportunity to make some money.
As the two chatted, Huo Qing and Huo Sheng came in pushing their bicycles. Seeing Xiang Nan in the main room, they said happily, "Sister-in-law, all the cakes for today are sold!"
Huo Qing wiped the sweat from his face.
Summer is here, the sun is strong outside and I sweat when I am under the sun.
Xiangnan quickly brought them a towel and said, "Wipe your sweat. Have you eaten yet? I left some food for you. Just heat it up and you can eat it."
"We had a bowl of noodles in Yangzhen Town. It was quite a large portion. Sister-in-law, don't bother. We are full." Huo Sheng sat down and drank a bowl of cold boiled water happily.
He was really happy. He had never seen so much money at once, and it was all earned by him.
"Sister-in-law, the cakes you gave me are too little. If we can sell them until dark, we can make more money. Many people want to eat more of the cakes after just a taste."
"Okay, you guys take a break and go keep your brother company. I'll go out with Aunt Zhou to buy some chickens.
You guys can stay for dinner tonight, there's still some soup left from lunch."
Huo Qing and Huo Sheng responded and went to Huo De's room.
Xiangnan took a straw hat and put it on. Since there was no sunscreen, he could only use physical sun protection, but he couldn't get too dark.
The one selling chicks is Wang Yaosheng from the neighboring village. Her old hens are specialized in hatching chicks to sell, and people from miles around come to buy from her.
Xiangnan wanted to buy a hundred, but her family had only hatched thirty.
She gave money for a hundred and then came back to get the rest after they hatched.
The two bought the chicks and walked back. On the way, Zhou Xiumei had to pee urgently, so she found a small forest to squat down and relieve herself.
It was quite cool in the grove, and the cool breeze blew away the heat.
Xiangnan stood a little outside for Zhou Xiumei to watch over to prevent anyone from coming in.
As soon as Zhou Xiumei squatted down, she heard a voice: "Brother Dali, wait a moment, Zhang Hao will give me the money soon.
If I have money, I will elope with you to Guangzhou and never come back."
Xiangnan also heard it, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
