Lian Xiaomin took the note and the key to Lao Liu's house from Dalong and put them in her pocket.
"Xiao Jiang, there is one more thing. This time we requested six rolls of cotton cloth. We have spent all our money on fine grains. Do you think you can give me another batch of cotton cloth by the end of December?"
"I'll take my time and collect the money. I also want two hundred rolls of cloth and ten thousand kilograms of cotton."
It's November now, which is not so bad. But when it gets colder at the end of the year and there are more heavy snows, cotton and cloth will be in even shorter supply.
Especially since the Spring Festival is coming in January, even the most frugal people will try their best to get some cloth to make new clothes.
"Da Long, I say the same thing again. If you follow the rules I told you, don't sell at too high a price, and just make small profits but quick turnover, I can give you any good stuff I have."
"...How about this, I will come back in a month and bring you the supplies you want, two hundred rolls of cloth, ten thousand kilograms of cotton! You can also help me collect a few more treasures~"
"...By the way, there are fruits, oranges, apples, and pears. Do you want some?"
As he spoke, he took out two big oranges, a big apple, and some pears from his bag and put them in Dalong and Daming's hands.
Daming was so excited that he spoke up for his brother: "Yes! Yes, this is the most popular fruit during the Chinese New Year. They are so big! We'll take as many as you have!"
Dalong peeled an orange and stuffed two halves into his mouth. It was so sweet! He threw the remaining one to Jindou.
"Xiao Jiang, what other good stuff do you have? Why did you mention this fruit just now? It's really delicious."
It’s because they are afraid that their purchasing power is not large enough and they can’t consume it all at once.
"Okay then. If you want, I'll ship you a batch next time. Ten thousand kilograms of each of these three items."
The fruit forest in the space is not small. The size of a regular football field is about ten acres.
Her fruit grove is at least the size of ten football fields, covering an area of one hundred acres.
However, they are separated into pieces and are quite scattered.
The small orchard closest to the space villa has sparse fruit trees with large spacing between them, so she likes to practice martial arts here.
The trees planted are orange trees, apple trees, and peach trees.
The other woods in the distance have all kinds of fruits scattered here and there, including quite a few pear trees, all at the other end.
Three kinds of fruits, ten thousand kilograms each, is quite a lot.
Dalong and Daming thought that they must transfer part of it to his side, or they could contact his second uncle in Fengtian and sell part of it there.
Lian Xiaomin didn't care about their arrangements. She stood up and said goodbye. She dragged the cart, put her bicycle in it, and took it away.
Along the way, I found a quiet and deserted alley. After entering, I put the scooter into the space, leaving only the bicycle, and rode it home.
When I got home, Yan Haixia had already started teaching the children.
She had nothing to do, so she came early after lunch, thinking that since it was her first class, she could teach as long as she could.
This time, Lian Xiaomin made an excuse and brought back two baskets of food, which she tied on both sides of the car.
On one side there is half a basket of potatoes and half a basket of sweet potatoes, which together weigh about 60 kilograms.
On the other side was a basket of large white radishes and a bundle of green onions on the back seat.
There are not many more vegetables in winter, and there is no greenhouse cultivation technology in those days. These are the only ones that can be preserved. Leave them for the children to eat.
Xiao Huzi opened the door, and Lian Xiaomin told him to go back to the room to continue listening to the lecture. She didn't need his help to move the basket, as he couldn't move it.
The little guy immediately ran back to the house, seeming to be quite enthusiastic about learning.
After putting both baskets of vegetables into the kitchen, Lian Xiaomin closed the courtyard door and entered the most spacious east room.
There were two tables on the kang, with three people sitting at each table, listening to the lecture attentively.
Take another look, wow~
Yan Haixia is quite capable. I don't know where she got a small blackboard and some white chalk from. That's amazing!
She was standing on the basement floor. There was a wooden table on the floor with a few bricks piled on it and a small blackboard leaning against the bricks.
At this moment, she was standing facing the kids on the kang, teaching seriously.
Lian Xiaomin nodded to her and didn't go in to disturb her. She put down the thick door curtain again.
He turned around and went to the kitchen, added some corn stalks into the stove to make the house warmer.
She found a clean enamel teacup, filled it with brown sugar water, and brought it in for Yan Haixia to put on the table.
Oh, that’s great. Can we have a dozen more girls like Yan Haixia who have good personalities and good culture?
...If I could help her take care of the baby every day, what a wonderful world that would be!
Thinking about myself, I am also very wealthy. When I go to Hong Kong, I will have to hire people. Who can't I hire? Why should I worry about not being able to teach a few children well?
She was thinking about something and had nothing to do, so she tidied up the yard, then took the yard cart out for a while and brought back a cartload of cabbages, which she moved into the utility room for storage.
In this way, the six children will have enough food to eat this winter. Other families only eat cabbage, white radish and the like in winter.
After the show, she returned to the west room where she lived, thinking about what to give Yan Haixia as a reward.
I originally wanted to give her money, one dollar per class, but then I thought that Yan Haixia would not accept it, so it would be better to give her something she couldn't buy but needed.
Oh, by the way, I see she gave sweaters to Dean Yan and his wife before, and now she wants to knit a sweater for Zhao Liming too.
However, she herself was still wearing an old gray sweater, not wool.
Just give her a wool sweater, maybe a pink one with a round neck.
Lian Xiaomin has a knitting machine in her space. For a period of time, she knitted a lot of sweaters in one go, and she only made the simplest patterns.
I found a peach pink one, yeah, that's fine.
From the aesthetic point of view of modern people who traveled through time from 2023, such bright colors are really eye-catching!
However, in this era when the streets are all gray and colorless, wearing this kind of sweater will make you the most handsome guy in the entire residential compound.
Teacher Yan deserves it.
I'll give you a sweater as a reward this month, and we'll talk about next month's after that.
This is how the six children in the family spent the entire afternoon, of course there was a break between each class.
The youngest daughter, Xinghua, was only four years old. She got tired while studying, so we asked her to rest more and go to her brother's room to play for a while and eat some cookies.
I originally thought that Xiaohu and Shenglai would not be able to persist and would not want to learn more, but I didn’t expect that these two six-year-old kids were really studying seriously.
Yan Haixia's visit really meant a lot to the children. They felt like they were the same as other children.
Moreover, Sister Yan is so gentle, patient, and encouraging, and all the children learn very enthusiastically.
At five o'clock, the class was finally over, and Lian Xiaomin invited Yan Haixia to have dinner at home.
She had already cooked some rice and some stewed cabbage, vermicelli and pork.
After class, Lotus came to help her sister make stewed chicken.
