After Xi Lang left the Qin family.
The Qin family held an interrogation meeting for Qin Ting at the dinner table.
Qin Ting repeatedly assured her that she would not fall in love with Xi Lang prematurely, and the whole family finally felt relieved.
The only one who was worried was Qin Anan.
She really loves CP!
Woo woo woo!
After dinner, Feng Jingrou took the children to the village chief's house, and Qin Che stayed at home to continue writing.
She had told the village chief two days ago that she wanted to buy chili sauce from the villagers, and the chief agreed to help arrange it. But now she was in need of 50 kilograms of chili sauce at once. She hadn't expected such a large sales volume.
I wonder if the village chief can collect so many peppers.
The villagers grow peppers mainly for their own consumption. Although they cannot finish eating them every year, there will not be too much left over.
Moreover, the peppers haven't all harvested yet, so people just pick and eat as they grow, rather than picking and drying them. Only when the frost arrives, when the peppers are harvested and the leftovers are dried and stored, will there be a large supply of dried peppers.
When the three of them arrived at the village chief's house, Huang Xiuxiu had already cleaned up the pots and pans for dinner and started to boil water for the family to wash their feet.
There was no nighttime entertainment in the countryside at that time. Third Grandma didn't allow her grandson to go to Qin's house to listen to the loudspeaker. He could only squat at the door of the main hall and play in the mud. When he saw Qin Ling, Qin Li and An An coming, he was immediately overjoyed.
As soon as the children met, they played happily together.
Zhao Guihua pulled out a fish skin bag, half full of red chili peppers. (There was a bug in the previous description; it said fresh chili peppers were used to make chili sauce. I'll fix that later.)
"All the peppers that can be received in the village are here. I've checked them for you. There are no bad peppers and no insects." Zhao Guihua introduced them to Feng Jingrou enthusiastically and handed her a piece of paper with Li Cunsheng's handwriting on it, which neatly wrote how many kilograms of peppers were received from which family.
Based on the price of 5 cents per pound, Feng Jingrou even calculated how much each family should pay.
Feng Jingrou quickly thanked her and paid Zhao Guihua one yuan and thirty cents for the total price. At the same time, she asked for another 50 kilograms of dried chilies, as the quantity was insufficient.
Zhao Guihua was shocked: "50 kilograms, why do you need so much?"
Feng Jingrou told Qin Ting about receiving a big order.
A large order of 50 kilograms, plus the ten kilograms already ordered by classmates, I estimate that at least 70 kilograms of chili sauce will be made this time.
"Cunsheng, do you have any other way to buy dried chili peppers?" Zhao Guihua asked Li Cunsheng.
There was a millstone in the yard, and Li Cunsheng was sitting next to it, eating peanuts and drinking old wine.
Zhao Guihua called him several times, but he didn't respond, as if he didn't hear her.
"Third grandma, what happened to Uncle Sheng in our village?" Qin Ting saw that the village chief was in a very low mood, and asked Zhao Guihua in a low voice.
Zhao Guihua sighed and shook her head: "Alas, Tingting, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but your village uncle has been bullied again."
"Bullyed by..."?!
Qin Ting was shocked.
Ever since she could remember, Cun Shengbo had been the team leader of Huaihua Village, and later he became the village chief. He was a heavyweight figure in Huaihua Village who had the final say and was extremely authoritative.
The villagers of Huaihua Village must listen to the village uncle even if they don’t listen to their own parents!
How could a village boy be bullied?!
She was shocked, she didn't understand.
Feng Jingrou knew full well that Huaihua Village was a notoriously impoverished village in Xingwang Town, relying on state aid for survival year after year. As the village chief, Li Cunsheng was always embarrassed in front of the other six village chiefs in the town. Every time he went to town for a meeting, he was embarrassed to the point of being embarrassed. When he returned, he had no way to vent his frustrations, so he had to deal with them alone.
"Brother Cunsheng went to the town government for a meeting again?" Feng Jingrou asked in a low voice.
Zhao Guihua curled her lips: "That's right!"
The two chatted in low voices, not wanting to disturb Li Cunsheng for the time being so that he could be alone for a while.
During their conversation, Qin Ting learned that whenever Cunshengbo went to meetings, it was Zhou Cuifen's brother, Zhou Hongbing, who bullied him the most. He relied on his ownership of the Zhoujiatun coal mine to look down on everyone else. Whenever they met, he deliberately embarrassed Li Cunsheng and made him lose face in front of the town leaders.
"Qin Feng's uncle is so bad!" Qin Ting became angrier the more she listened.
She was fearless and sat down next to Li Cunsheng. She said loudly, "Uncle Cunsheng, what you should do now is to find a way to lead our village to prosperity instead of drinking alone and sulking."
Feng Jingrou was frightened by her daughter's behavior and wanted to pull her back but it was too late.
However, she suddenly became interested and wanted to hear what her daughter wanted to say.
Qin Anan sat on a small stool, eating the biscuits given to her by Huang Xiuxiu, and looked at her elder sister Qin Ting.
[Is the eldest sister going to use her ultimate move? ]
Huang Xiuxiu: Is Qin Ting going crazy?
It was the first time that Huang Xiuxiu saw someone dare to shout at her father-in-law. She was so excited that she immediately moved a stool and sat next to Qin Anan to watch the fun with her.
Li Cunsheng had the common male chauvinism of that era, and his face immediately turned cold when he was scolded by a little girl in person.
The wine cup hit the millstone, and Qin Ting's heart trembled with fear.
"Uncle Village Student!" Qin Ting bravely raised her voice, "Even if you scare me, I still have to say what I have to say!"
"There are seven villages in Xingwang Town, and ours is the poorest! Why? Because Zhoujiatun has a coal mine. The other five villages are all fertile and have lush land, but our village is nestled at the foot of a mountain. The land is full of rocks and is so barren that we can't grow any food. Every year, we have to borrow grain and take out loans from the town government to get through the New Year. Next year, we have to rack our brains to find ways to repay the debts. A Huaihua Village like this will never be rich! Uncle Cunsheng, don't you think so?"
