Everyone walked to the backyard door and hesitated for a long time before crossing the threshold.
Ning Jia was watering flowers in the yard. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Lin Xiaoxi coming in. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and continued watering her flowers.
"I heard everything that sister-in-law said today. But you can't completely believe what Qin Ming says... There is a misunderstanding here, I can explain it to you clearly." Lin Xiaoxi stopped beside her and wanted to explain to her.
"You don't have to explain to me. I know whether you did that or not. Of course, you don't have to apologize, because I know that even if you apologize, you must be sincere. From now on, we two should not talk to each other in this family. You despise me in your heart, and I despise you in my heart. Let's keep our distance."
Ning Jia didn't have any expectations for Lin Xiaoxi.
Anyway, she didn't plan to have anything to do with Lin Xiaoxi in the future. It was better to stay away from such people if possible.
At this moment, apart from Lin Xiaoxi, two other families in the Li family were feeling very upset.
That is the family of the eldest brother Li Gang and the family of the third brother Li Yuan.
At this moment, Wang Qiaoqiao and Liang Lanlan got together again to discuss Lin Xiaoxi's affairs.
"I really didn't expect it to be like this... Sister-in-law... Do you think we can still count on her to help us grow greenhouse vegetables? Do you think we can still count on her in this situation?"
Wang Qiaoqiao shook her head slowly: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Apart from anything else, her reputation is already bad... If we hang out with her, don't you think we will also be scolded?"
"I think so. It's been so long, and the money problem still can't be solved. I think she is just bragging! Forget it, let's do our own thing!"
"But the investment is huge... Where is the money at home?"
"Then let's go find Ning Jia?"
"I went there before, but was rejected. They didn't care. If it's my opinion, sister-in-law, if it's really not possible, we should just farm the land honestly and try to build a relationship with my mother-in-law. Next year, we'll see if we can let her take care of us."
"僢僢僢, that's exactly what I meant." Liang Lanlan agreed.
After this incident, Lin Xiaoxi's reputation in the village was completely ruined. She could no longer stay there and had no way out. She could only study hard and hope to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city smoothly.
Li Chuan was being stabbed in the back all day long, and he felt very uncomfortable.
As time went on, his resentment towards Lin Xiaoxi grew deeper and deeper.
He did not allow Lin Xiaoxi to review her lessons at home all day, and asked her to go to work with him all day, and only allowed her to review her lessons in the evening.
Lin Xiaoxi was like an eggplant hit by frost, and could no longer be arrogant.
Li Chuan even threatened: if she still did not behave herself, he would not allow the brigade to issue her a certificate and would not allow her to leave Laohuaishu Village.
Lin Xiaoxi had no choice but to obey.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the tomatoes in the greenhouse were ripe and began to be sold in large quantities.
This time she didn't need to make any contact, as the manager of the state-owned restaurant and the person in charge of the brick factory canteen came to purchase the vegetables, and she sold them while sitting at home.
After selling the first crop of tomatoes, Ning Jia picked two baskets of vegetables and took Li Yao’s bike to the neighboring Qingshan Village.
Li Hong’s child is already half a year old. Except for the time they went to see him when he was just born, they haven’t seen him much since then due to various reasons.
This time, Ning Jia went there not only to see Li Hong and the children, but also wanted to let his grandfather Old Ning taste the vegetables he grew.
Old Ning was happy when he saw Ning Jia.
He also did not forget to tease Ning Jia: "You only remember grandpa now, it shows that you are also an unfilial person!!"
Ning Jia said with a smile: "I was thinking of sending you the tomatoes when they are harvested! Grandpa, look at these big, round tomatoes. I planted them myself!"
Old Ning took a tomato and rubbed it on his clothes. He took a bite and tasted the sweet and sour taste: "Eat it! You can eat what my granddaughter grows."
"Is there any need to say that?"
Li Hong came to Ning Jia with her daughter in her arms. When the little girl saw Old Ning eating a tomato, she opened her arms and babbled to ask Old Ning for some.
Old Ning handed him one, and the little kid happily put it to his mouth.
"You have to wash it first." Li Hong took the tomatoes and was about to wash them, then she handed the child directly to Ning Jia.
When the child saw Ning Jia, he grinned and babbled as if trying to talk to her.
Seeing this little chubby boy so cute and playful, Ning Jia couldn't help but come forward and kiss his little face: "You are so cute, you look better than your father! He should be secretly happy now..."
When Li Yao saw the child, he felt something in his heart collapse: "I want a hug."
He stretched out his hand, and the child actually leaned over.
Li Yao held the little guy in his arms, looked at his round eyes, and smiled: "Look! He looks like my sister."
"That's for sure." Li Hong smiled. "They say boys look like their mothers and girls look like their fathers. You two have been married for such a long time, why is there still no movement?"
Old Ning also urged: "Jia Jia, it's time to have a child! Li Yao is not young anymore, and it's time for him to be a father."
Li Yao smiled and looked at Ning Jia: "She has the final say on this matter, I will listen to her."
Ning Jiayu: "No hurry, wait a little longer."
The two of them played at home for half the morning, but because they had something to do at home, they didn't stay long and rode their bikes back home.
The hot summer passed quickly, and in the golden autumn of October, the news finally came that the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Regardless of age or occupation, anyone can take the college entrance examination in December.
This news was undoubtedly a surprise to Lin Xiaoxi and Li Chuan.
As for Qin Ming, there has been no news of him since he left the village. Ning Jia went to the town by chance and heard the police from the police station say that Qin Ming had done something that could not stand up to investigation and was detained.
As for how long he would be detained, Ning Jia had no idea.
She didn't ask either.
Qin Ming had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to know that he had received the punishment he deserved.
When early winter comes, the first crop of vegetables from the greenhouses of every household can be harvested, and the rabbits raised in the air-raid shelters on the mountains have grown fat and big, and have even given birth to litters of baby rabbits.
The crops in the fields have been harvested, and it is time for less work in the village, so Li Yao no longer has to drive the tractor back and forth in the fields.
However, it was time for him to be busy at home.
As a business partner, Li Xu naturally couldn't stay out of it, not to mention that this was to make money for the family, so his emotions were unprecedentedly high.
Not only was he in high spirits, but all the villagers who owned greenhouse vegetables were also enthusiastic.
Ning Jia just gave orders: "It's time to harvest the vegetables. Everyone pick all the vegetables you can today."
So everyone threw themselves into the work.
An Ye was watching the weighing records on the side, Li Tao was helping with packing, Yi Jinfeng and Niu Qiushi also came to help, and Widow Chen pulled Qin Niu to join in the fun.
Li Xuejiao held her child and watched everyone working hard. Li Heng looked at the great harvest and felt that Li Xuejiao had the foresight to bet on the right horse.
