The next day, Liang Guiying got up early and went to the backyard to turn over the soil, where she found many grass roots.
She first did a quick cleaning, and planned to dry the rest in the sun for two days before working on it, as the soil was too wet to work with now.
When Liang Guiying went to the backyard to till the soil, Zhou Yue was washing clothes in the front yard, and Zhou Xiaonian was sitting next to her playing with a plush toy. When she came back after tilling the soil, Zhou Yue was sweeping the floor, and Zhou Xiaonian also took a small broom and "helped" from the side.
It's hilarious! She's not even as tall as the broom. She sweeps wherever Zhou Yue sweeps, seemingly to help, but actually just scattering the trash that Zhou Yue just swept up.
So the mother and daughter took turns sweeping and dusting, and the floor was never finished being swept.
Zhou Xiaonian spotted Liang Guiying and shouted, "Grandma, sweep the floor every year!"
"You're amazing! You can help your mom with chores now, you're a good child!"
The little girl, emboldened by the praise, swept the trash everywhere.
Zhou Yue was both amused and exasperated, and could only follow behind her to clean up. The little girl thought her mother was playing with her, so she swung the broom even more vigorously, giggling uncontrollably, which made Zhou Yue laugh as well.
Seeing the mother and daughter laughing so happily, Liang Guiying was also happy.
She told Zhou Yue, "I'm going out for a bit. If I'm not back by noon, could you make Niannian an egg pancake? You know how to make one, right?"
Zhou Yue nodded: "I can do it."
The backyard has been tilled, and Zhou Yue's mood is relatively stable. Jiang Chunsheng should not be too embarrassed to come over in the next two or three days, but it is hard to say in a few more days. Therefore, Liang Guiying decided to take advantage of the two or three days to go back to the village and move out everything that can be moved from the village.
Before returning to the village, she wanted to go to the black market and make some dealings with the butchers, hoping to get them to bring the pigs she raised to the village to sell.
If the butcher can handle it, there are hundreds of pigs in the village. She could easily make a profit of two or three cents per pound by trading them back and forth.
The black market was in the suburbs, some distance from the airport residential area, so Liang Guiying had to borrow a tricycle from Uncle Zhong.
A few days ago, when Niannian was discharged from the hospital, the Civil Affairs Bureau and the cotton mill sent her a lot of things, including nutritional supplements for children and two kinds of health products for middle-aged and elderly people.
Liang Guiying remembered that Aunt Zhong had mentioned having insomnia when she visited Niannian at the hospital a few days ago. Two of the gifts happened to be for improving sleep quality, so she told Zhou Yue and took them away.
Uncle Zhong went to the department store early in the morning, his son and daughter-in-law went to work, and his daughter went to school. Aunt Zhong was bored at home by herself when Liang Guiying came over to borrow a tricycle.
After finding out she was going to the black market, she immediately jumped up: "I know the black market well! You sit for two minutes, I'll change my clothes and leave!"
Liang Guiying placed the gifts on the table. Aunt Zhong came out after changing her clothes and saw them. Her expression immediately changed: "These are for me?"
"right--"
"Look at you! You come to visit me and even bring me gifts. Do you think I'm an outsider?"
"This is an imported product. It's not sold domestically. You have to ask someone to go to Hong Kong to bring it back. It's very precious. I can't bear to give such a good thing to outsiders."
Liang Guiying pulled the outer bag down a bit, revealing the packaging on the box, and said with a smile, "You're one of us, so good things should be kept for our own people."
Aunt Zhong was delighted. She took it and examined it closely, discovering that it was for improving sleep. She recalled that she had mentioned her insomnia to her son when she visited Niannian at the hospital a few days ago. She hadn't expected Liang Guiying to remember it and even send her such an expensive gift.
