Chapter 10 Harvesting Chinese Broccoli
Zhong Xiong pretended not to see his wife's look, still smiling, thinking about how to add the stamp, muttering to himself.
Yang Fangqin didn't bother to pay attention to him and was using essential oil to care for her newly done curly hair.
"Hui, look at my hair. It looks good after being permed, doesn't it?" Seeing Zhong Hui, Yang Fangqin hurriedly called her.
"It looks nice and fashionable." Zhong Hui admired it for a moment and said sincerely.
Yang Fangqin has a square face, and this short curly hair suits her very well.
"Yeah, I think it looks good too. Let me tell you, I got it done at the new barber shop in the city. It's not expensive and the service is really good. When you're free, I'll take you there to get a perm too."
Zhong Hui was a little hesitant. She always had natural black hair and had never had her hair permed.
"Why are you hesitating? As women, we should dress up for ourselves. When we look good, we will be in a good mood. When we are in a good mood, we will be radiant." Yang Fangqin gave Zhong Hui a long lecture.
"By the way, are you still using the skincare products I gave you last time?"
"I'm using it, it's really effective. My face hasn't peeled off recently. In the past, in this kind of weather, my face would be so dry that it would rub my hands." Zhong Hui said, touching her face, and felt that her face had become much smoother.
"Right, women need to take care of themselves. I saw you used to treat yourself like a man, living frugally. You're still young, but you've aged a dozen years. It's not worth it, it's absolutely not worth it. From now on, you have to treat yourself better."
Yang Fangqin has gradually come to understand this in the past few years. Now she tells it to Zhong Hui, and also to herself.
"Look at you, with your oval face and big eyes, you are so pretty. You can't bury the good genes your parents gave you." Yang Fangqin glanced at Zhong Xiong beside her and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Among the five brothers and sisters in the Zhong family, Zhong Xiong is the one who is developing more and more horizontally. He is big and strong, and he can scare people just by looking at him.
Zhong Hui also noticed that her elder brother had indeed gained a lot of weight in the past two years.
"Oh, I almost forgot something important." Suddenly, Zhong Xiong slapped his thigh and stood up, scaring Yang Fangqin and Zhong Hui.
"What are you doing?" Yang Fangqin frowned.
Zhong Xiong quickly pulled out his Nokia phone from his waistband and said, "I have to call the second brother."
"Just call the second brother, you're acting so mysterious." Yang Fangqin was speechless.
"Second brother, hey, you don't have classes right now, I have something important to tell you. Our little sister is renovating a house recently, so why don't we clean up your foundation as well and build a multi-story house."
Zhong Qin had just finished class and there was a lot of noise in the corridor. He thought he had heard it wrong.
"Brother, who are you repairing the house for?"
"I'll build it for you. Your foundation is empty anyway. Build a house on it and rent it out, and that's income." Zhong Xiong didn't say those things that hadn't come to fruition yet, he only talked about renting it out.
Zhong Qin had thought about renovating the house, but he had no money. After giving Zhong Hui 20,000 yuan, he had even less money.
Without money, Zhong Qin had no confidence, so he had to reject his elder brother's kindness.
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiong still felt a little unhappy. Although he knew that what Lao Er said was true and he really had no money, he still didn't want to take the fat meat that was right in front of his mouth. He always felt, always felt something, how did the saying go?
Zhong Xiong frowned. Was this bullying him because he had little education?
Even more angry.
Seeing Zhong Xiong gritting his teeth over there, Yang Fangqin and her sister-in-law Zhong Hui looked at each other. They always felt that her husband, her elder brother, was not normal.
Is this someone who has gone crazy while renovating the house?
You're a bastard who doesn't take advantage of a bargain! Zhong Xiong slapped his thigh. It was clear that he wouldn't be able to earn the money from Lao Er, so he couldn't let him take away the rest of the money.
Zhong Xiong put away his phone, put it back on his belt, and then pulled up his pants which had fallen down a little on his stomach.
"Hui, have you harvested your Chinese kale?"
"Ah? It hasn't been collected yet. Aunt Meihua said that the boss will come to collect it in the next two days and asked me to do so." Zhong Hui was still a little confused.
"Hurry up, I have the lychee trees ready. I'll plant them right after the kale is harvested."
"In this weather, it's almost June. Can this tree survive?" Yang Fangqin asked helplessly. Zhong Xiong didn't know what was going on. He had been messing around at home these past few days.
"Yes, of course. The saplings I bought came with soil, a thick layer of soil, so they will have no problem growing them. Have you ever seen people in the city pick and choose the right time to plant trees in the green belts?" Zhong Xiong was right.
Yang Fangqin and her sister-in-law Zhong Hui couldn't argue with him, so they had to let him do whatever he wanted.
Afraid that her elder brother would come up with another idea later, Zhong Hui quickly put on the oil and ran away.
I went to Aunt Meihua's house first and told her the price of hiring labor.
Aunt Meihua had a clear account in her mind. After checking the accounts, she nodded and said, "This price is fair. This boy didn't make too much money from me."
Zhong Hui was at a loss for words: "We're neighbors, but my brother definitely can't make money from you."
Aunt Meihua also knew this and agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll go find him tonight and settle this matter."
Zhong Hui nodded and prepared to go back.
"Hey, wait a minute. I was just about to call you. The vegetable collector is here. He said the price is 80 cents per pound. He will come to collect the vegetables early tomorrow morning. You should go to the field early tomorrow and wait for him." Aunt Meihua said quickly.
"Okay, then I'll go early tomorrow morning." Zhong Hui said.
They harvest the vegetables directly from the fields in the early morning. When the sky is just getting light, the vegetables are already in major supermarkets and vegetable markets.
The next day, Ge Linlin was still sleeping soundly in bed, but Zhong Hui had already gotten up. Looking at the time, it was past two in the morning. Zhong Hui yawned, took off her flashlight and went out.
On the way, we met Aunt Meihua and her husband, as well as a few villagers, and we went to the fields together.
When we arrived at the field, the boss who was collecting vegetables had already come over. He first registered his own land, and then the boss called on the workers to start mining.
There were a lot of vegetables to harvest today, and the boss didn't have enough staff, so he asked them to help pick them together, and they would be paid half a day's labor fee.
The fee for half a day's work was thirty yuan, so Zhong Hui agreed without thinking.
Then she started picking vegetables. By around five in the morning, all the vegetables in her field were harvested. The vegetable seller weighed them on the spot and paid her directly.
Zhong Hui earned 7,020 yuan from the three acres of land, plus her half-day wages, the total was 7,050 yuan.
With the money in her pocket, Zhong Hui happily returned home. As soon as she arrived at the door and saw the man standing there, Zhong Hui suddenly felt that all her good mood for the day was gone.
