Chapter 546 A Big Event

Di Guoliang has a bulging wallet, so he doesn't need to rely on Zhong Meixuan to buy food this time.

He would buy and eat anything he liked along the way, and of course he would not forget to ask other people if they wanted some.

The Zhong family wanted to save face, so they waved their hands and spent their own money to buy some food for the two children.

Zhong Meixin has already calculated that after the show is over, her family will earn 1,200 yuan. She will send Zhong Kangle to school and ask Cao Yuda to help with tutoring. The progress award alone is 180 yuan.

You can also collect huge amounts of money from the students’ private progress award pool!

When Zhong Kangle can no longer make any progress, he will continue to go home and do odd jobs to earn money.

However, when she arrived at the headquarters of Kyoto Mingri Culture Company, she found that not only did her plan fail, but she could only get back 200 yuan. In other words, not only did she not make any money or gain a good reputation, but she actually spent 700 to 800 yuan!

The appearance of Zhong Changcun caused the image of a miserable woman that the Zhong family had created for her in front of Pei Donggang to collapse...

Zhong Kangle and Di Guoliang invested their share of the thousand yuan into the Tomorrow Culture Company, and Di Guoliang also contributed more than a thousand yuan of his own money to contribute more to the welfare organization.

Shan Ziwei has always been treated well since she arrived at the Ding family. The old lady raised twenty-two hens and three roosters behind the house, so she could always find two or three eggs even in winter.

The old lady did not keep it, but made it into various foods, such as scrambled eggs with green onions, steamed pork and egg custard, soybean-flavored egg custard, soft-boiled eggs, egg cakes, omelets, etc. The children in the yard were so greedy that they cried all day long.

Shan Ziwei felt a little guilty while eating, but she couldn't resist the delicious food and the envious stares she received, so she ate twice the usual amount without realizing it!

Although the Ding family had their own kitchen but not their own family, the third branch of the family had to pay some food rations to the old lady every year as maintenance. Old Mrs. Ding didn't want anything but ten kilograms of wheat flour.

The three sons contributed a total of 30 kilograms, and the two daughters contributed 5 kilograms each. Old Mrs. Ding usually earned six work points by herding sheep, cattle and pigs for the team, and could get more than 140 kilograms of coarse grains and 30 kilograms of wheat.

For coarse grains, she asked for some soybeans, sweet potatoes, corn, sorghum, mung beans, sesame seeds, etc.

Although Old Mrs. Ding is not very educated, she knows how to live. She rotates the soybeans and mung beans on the windowsill and grows some garlic sprouts to enrich the winter dinner table.

The Ding family had a large yard with a private plot at the back. The old lady grew a lot of vegetables. Since the mother and daughter didn't eat much, they asked someone to sell half of them. The rest was made into dried vegetables or pickles for winter. Ding Nier would occasionally go with her friends to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms and dry them in the sun.

When the weather is warm, Ding Nier would trade eggs for earthworms with her friends in the village. One egg could be exchanged for a bucket of earthworms, which was enough to feed more than 20 chickens at home. And the earthworms that could not be eaten were thrown into a broken jar filled with soil, so that they could continue to feed tomorrow.

Of course, there are also various insects, fish, shrimps, etc., all of which can be exchanged for one egg in a small bucket.

The nutrition was adequate, and the chickens at home laid eggs very frequently. On a busy day, we could harvest 16 or 17 eggs. We would buy protein feed with two eggs, eat two of them at home, and save the remaining 11 or 12 eggs to sell at the market or exchange for other things.

Because the peak egg-laying period of a hen is only two years, the mother and daughter kill a hen every month to supplement their nutrition, and hatch another nest every six months. Their life is particularly comfortable.

It can be said that the ten-square-meter cellar was filled to the brim with things piled up by Old Lady Ding.

Shan Ziwei even went to visit the place specially, and suddenly a story called Country Mouse and City Mouse flashed in her mind. Old Mrs. Ding was the simple, hard-working country mouse, who was content and happy guarding a warehouse of food.

At the second party, Shan Ziwei asked her confusion: "Teacher Xiaoan, Tuoyihan can make money by reselling.

Grandma obviously has such a good skill, why doesn't she set up a small stall on the roadside to sell some food? Even if she works one day and rests three days, she can earn as much as the workers."

An Zhixia chuckled and said, "Old people's ideas are more conservative, and they are afraid that this spring breeze will change direction one day, and they can't afford to suffer another blow at that time.

Simply put, the organization has established a crime called speculation and profiteering.

Many people are concerned about this crime and the turmoil in previous years, so they have been keeping a wait-and-see or cautious attitude, watching others make money while they themselves stick to the stability in front of them.

Furthermore, doing business requires considering many things, such as the source of ingredients, where to set up the stall, whether it will arouse jealousy, etc.

I think Grandma Ding is quite satisfied with her current life and doesn’t want to change and bring trouble to her family.”

Shan Ziwei frowned, thought about what An Zhixia said, and sighed helplessly: "Grandma is so good to me. I, I want grandma to live a more comfortable life."

"What is comfort? Is it living in a spotless building with running water, electricity, a coal stove, heaters in the winter and fans in the summer, as well as a TV and a tape recorder to pass the time?" An Zhixia asked with a smile, pursing her lips.

"Yes, there are many delicious foods," Shan Ziwei nodded. "Grandma has worked so hard for so long, it's time for her to enjoy her life. She can teach my mother, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt how to cook, and let them set up stalls to sell snacks and make some money."

An Zhixia looked at the little girl who was thinking seriously and couldn't help laughing. She really didn't know how the Shan family, with such a prominent family background, could raise a child who was obsessed with money.

“Weiwei, have you ever thought about whether Grandma Ding really likes the city?

The houses in the city are too cramped to accommodate so many banks, there is no large vegetable garden for Grandma Ding to flex her muscles, no large pieces of pork to share during the autumn harvest and New Year, and no old friends for her to visit and chat with.

More importantly, she wanted to see how her three sons’ families were doing.”

Shan Ziwei opened her mouth slightly, "Ah, it seems so, our city is clean and sanitary, but the houses are really incomparable to those in the countryside.

The yard of our two-story house is not even half the size of my grandmother’s backyard.”

The little girl was a little discouraged and couldn't find the meaning of her coming to the Ding family.

She also wanted to be like Toyihan, show her skills and make money to help the Ding family improve their lives.

The child is young, and his little thoughts are all written on his face.

An Zhixia understood immediately and raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Teacher Xiao An, am I just going to enjoy myself in the Ding family, just eating, drinking and having fun, without having to help with any work? Before I came here, I patted my chest and told my friends that I would accomplish something great." She patted her head in annoyance.

"My friends didn't believe me and laughed at me for bragging. They also took out their own treasures to pressure me. I couldn't stay in the countryside for a week and they were clamoring to go home."
