From the new daughter-in-law of the toad seller, to their own children's promising future, to someone's daughter bringing home a boyfriend who is a motorcycle repairman, to someone's daughter who got pregnant before getting married and gave birth to a girl, but the other party didn't want to give a dowry, so they couldn't come to an agreement, and in the end they didn't want the child...
Xu Qingzhi ate something while listening to a book.
After eating melon seeds for a while, she felt a little thirsty and wanted to eat an orange. She reached out and took an orange from the fruit bowl, peeled it for herself and ate it, which made her feel so sour.
The oranges in Meicheng at this season really don't taste very good. They will taste better after the National Day in October.
After swallowing the sour orange, Xu Qingzhi still felt the sour taste in his mouth.
She began to think, why not grow her own oranges? They would definitely taste better than this.
Buy some orange saplings online and plant them in the space. When they are ripe, you can eat them whenever you want. If you can't finish them, you can store them in the space warehouse and they won't go bad.
The food hasn't been served yet.
Xu Qingzhi had the idea of planting fruit trees in his mind, so he simply took out his mobile phone and picked out the orange saplings from his hometown. Generally, this kind of oranges are not purely sweet but a bit sour.
The tangerines are quite sweet. Every Chinese New Year, her mother would buy a sack of them, which she and her brother could finish in two or three days. Then they would buy some tangerine saplings.
She remembered that grandpa didn't like oranges very much because he thought they were sour, and he preferred oranges.
So she bought several varieties of orange saplings, including sweet oranges, navel oranges, blood oranges, and sugar oranges, specifically picking out the sweeter varieties.
She also saw chestnut trees recommended on the mobile page.
Grandpa has a piece of land on the hill near the temple, with five chestnut trees planted. The chestnuts are big and delicious, and they are definitely high-quality chestnut seeds. When the chestnuts at Grandpa's house are ripe, I can get some and plant them in the space. I don't need to buy chestnut seedlings.
Her mother loves to eat pears, especially Meicheng honey pears, which taste completely different from the commonly eaten fragrant pears and crown pears.
Meicheng honey pears have a brown-yellow skin and are very hard, but the pear juice inside is quite juicy and the pear flesh has a strong aroma.
After she chose the honey pear saplings, she also bought some saplings of other pear varieties.
Now that the tangerines and oranges have been planted, the chestnuts are also planned, and the pear seedlings have been purchased, why not see if there are any other fruit trees? After all, the spiritual space adapts to all things.
She directly entered fruit trees into the search box and saw cherries, blueberries, loquats, plums, strawberries, apples, grapefruits, grapes, etc. She couldn't help swallowing.
Buy, buy them all.
For example, there were plum tree seedlings and different varieties of plums, and she bought all she saw.
She had wanted to plant fruit trees before, but she was worried that her own bayberry trees had not produced fruit before, and her mother had been nagging her father for years, so he would not allow her to plant them. In addition, the land was limited, and for many reasons, she did not plan to do so for the time being.
She has a lot of space, so it's no problem to plant these fruit trees. Plus, the bayberries at home are bearing fruit and have been sold. When the time comes, she can find a way to get some land and plant some more trees from the space, so there will be no problem.
Even if we can’t plant them outside later, the fruit trees will bear fruit and ripen in space, and they will always be delicious. As long as they taste good, it’s worth it.
She placed the order, spending six figures, and now all she had to do was wait for the goods to be delivered.
She also placed orders for paper boxes, egg trays, etc. for express delivery.
After buying things, the person who helped serve the food came over with a stainless steel basin to serve the rice.
"Qingzhi, you've been back for so long, and I just saw you today. You're a very busy person now."
A familiar voice came.
People in Meicheng have the habit of using inverted sentences when speaking.
Especially, her second aunt.
She called out in a normal tone, "Aunt."
Fu Guiying, who had always been cold towards Xu Qingzhi, was unexpectedly enthusiastic this time.
Other people only put a spoonful of rice in their bowls, but Fu Guiying put two spoonfuls of rice into Xu Qingzhi's bowl, filling it up with a full bowl of rice.
While Fu Guiying was getting food, she said, "Qingzhi, come to your aunt's house for dinner tomorrow. I didn't see you when you came back, so I didn't call you."
Xu Qingzhi gave a perfunctory smile. As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, how could he not know that the other party was just being polite when he asked him to have dinner? He said calmly, "I have a lot of things to do at home, please forgive me."
Fu Guiying exchanged some pleasantries and then went straight to the point: "Hey, I heard from Aunt Xia that your family called a bunch of people to pick bayberries yesterday, and they said they will go to pick them again today. I have nothing to do at home recently, so I can help pick them."
Fu Guiying had a quarrel with that fool Xu Fuqiang yesterday, and she felt a little happy about it.
In the past, his daughter Xu Qingzhi always surpassed her daughter in everything. She had been a good student since childhood and became a star in college.
Now, her daughter is doing an internship at a large company in Kyoto and is very promising. Xu Qingzhi came back to live off her parents and farm at home.
Fu Guiying was so happy.
Later, when she received the money from Xu Lengzi, she told everyone about it, saying that no one knew where the money came from and whether it was clean.
Aunt Xia told her that Xu Lengzi probably used the money to sell the bayberries he planted, and heard that he sold them online. He was also very generous when hiring someone to pick the bayberries, charging 30 yuan an hour.
Fu Guiying was tempted. She didn't have to work the whole day, and the pay was 30 yuan an hour. It was just the work of picking bayberries, and the weight of the picked bayberries was not counted.
When the time comes, she can just take her time picking the fruits. It is an easy and profitable job.
She took the initiative to talk to Xu Lengzi today, but Xu Lengzi waved his hand and said it didn't matter, as his daughter was in charge of the family now.
Just now, Fu Guiying met Xu Qingzhi while getting food and talked to him about it.
Before Xu Qingzhi could say anything, the old lady at the same table asked, "How much do you want to pay for picking bayberries?"
"Thirty dollars an hour."
After Fu Guiying mentioned it, the other old ladies became interested.
"Qingzhi, are you still short of people to pick bayberries?"
"My mother-in-law can pick them too. They give thirty and my mother-in-law gives fifteen."
"Qingzhi, do you think I can do it?"
The aunt at the same table looked at them and thought that these old guys were bullying the children for not knowing how to refuse. If the Xu family's daughter hadn't refused now, these people would really have gone, picking bayberries, and it would be good if they didn't cause trouble.
She stretched out her hands to stop them and said, "Hey, mothers-in-law, you are too old to join in the fun. You can't climb up the tree, and you can't pick all the fruits. The Xu family will have to go back to work. The road on the mountain is slippery. If you fall and get hurt, it will make things difficult for the Xu family."
After hearing this, the old ladies were reluctant to speak again.
These words were spoken by the mothers-in-law. Fu Guiying felt that there was nothing wrong with her. She was only three years older than Wang Yanmei.
After she finished the last bowl of rice on the table, she asked again: "Qingzhi, is it okay? Give me an answer. I am your second aunt after all. It doesn't make sense to pay outsiders to pick bayberries and not call them family members."
