Chapter 71: I got dozens of kilograms of vegetables



Wang Xiaomei nodded. "I don't think he'll wake up for a while. If he wakes up early, I'll tell them."

"Okay..." Zhang Siyu wanted to say "thank you", but suddenly remembered Wang Xiaomei's words "family members don't need to say thank you", so she didn't say it anymore.

They're a good family, there's no need to be so distant...

"Mom, it's a big one~" After leaving the yard, Peng Sandiao opened his eyes wide and looked around curiously.

Zhang Siyu looked at San Tiao pointing at the house and held him higher. "The house here is bigger than ours, right? When we get back, Mom will make the house bigger, okay? Divide it into three rooms and a small bed..."

"No." Upon hearing this, Peng San Tiao immediately shook his head, firmly expressing his thoughts. "I want to break up with my mother."

Zhang Siyu laughed, "But San Tiao can't always sleep with Mom. When he grows up, he still needs to sleep alone, just like his brothers."

Peng San Tiao blinked his eyes and said, "Now, my mother is broken, and when I grow up, my brother is broken~"

Well, that's right. This little guy is quite logical. "Well, now San Tiao still sleeps with his mother."

Zhang Siyu took a few steps and discussed with the little guy, "San Tiao, how about you come down and walk by yourself? Mommy will hold San Tiao's hand, and we'll take a stroll."

"No, I won't leave. Mommy will hold you~" His three hands tightly hugged his mother's neck, and his little head lay down unwillingly.

"If San Tiao wants to leave by himself, Mom will give him an apple." Zhang Siyu took out a peeled apple to tempt San Tiao.

This was prepared for the train ride. The three little ones had no appetite on the train and only ate one piece each.

San Tiao smelled the sweet scent, immediately reached out his hand, and then jumped on the ground with the apple in his hand.

Finally, he was willing to go out to the fields. Zhang Siyu was relieved and took the three dogs for a stroll for a while before stopping in front of a family's yard.

When I walked by, I found that this family had two vegetable plots. The green area was very eye-catching.

She didn't have much vegetables stored in the space, and they were relatively rare on the island, so she wanted to buy more from here.

She had the same idea when she just brought out three.

As for the black market, she didn't even think about going there. Vegetables weren't rare here, and every household had them. No one would be so foolish as to sell them on the black market...

Qi Dahua looked at the two figures that stopped at her door, squinted her eyes, and asked loudly, "Who is it? What's going on?"

"Hello, Auntie. I just happened to pass by. I just saw that the leaves of your vegetables are growing particularly well, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. Sorry to bother you, but can I exchange a few vegetables with you?" Zhang Siyu explained her intention.

Exchange two vegetables? Qi Dahua's ears twitched, and when she got closer, she saw that it was a stranger and became wary.

"Grandma~" Peng San Tiao took a bite of the apple and called softly.

"Well, come in." Qi Dahua glanced at the little kid lying on the ground, leaned on her stick, and called the kid into the house.

She has a child with her, so I guess she has no bad intentions and just really wants to exchange two vegetables.

"Don't you have any crops at home?" Qi Dahua was surprised.

Most families here grow their own vegetables, so I've never seen anyone lack vegetables...

"I don't have any, so I thought of exchanging a few for them." Zhang Siyu remained calm.

In fact, there are two pieces of land on both sides of Cheng Zhenzhu's house, but they are very small and not many things are planted there.

"Just cut down two trees yourself. They're not valuable." Qi Dahua went back to the house and took a knife for Zhang Siyu.

"Auntie, I won't take it for nothing. If possible, I'd like to ask for more. What price do you think is suitable?" Zhang Siyu lowered her voice.

Qi Dahua raised her eyelids and lowered her voice, "Comrade, do you mean to buy it from me?"

Zhang Siyu nodded.

"My vegetable leaves grow well, so I should get at least one cent per pound." Aunt Qi leaned on a stick and gestured.

"Can."

The old lady didn't want to bother with the price of a few cents after planting a crop. Compared to the few cents per pound of vegetable leaves on the island, which had to be snatched up, this was already a much better deal.

Qi Dahua immediately smiled and closed the door. "Okay, you can chop it yourself. It's one cent each. It's up to you how much you want. I'll weigh it for you later."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Zhang Siyu took the knife.

"Help me cool down~" Peng Sandiao followed his mother and saw her bending down to chop vegetables. He stuffed the whole apple into his mouth and bent down to do the same.

Zhang Siyu was afraid that the knife would hurt the little guy, so she sent him to pull up the white radishes planted nearby.

Qi Dahua watched the young comrade chop cabbages, one, two, three, four, her eyes twinkling with joy. "Oh, who's this stupid girl?" She asked for a cent, and he agreed without blinking.

If this young comrade wants to get a few dozen more kilograms, then wouldn't she be able to earn a few cents today and buy a small piece of meat?

"Chop more, chop more..." Qi Dahua muttered cheerfully. "This round cabbage is a great weight. If I chop a few more, I'll have meat for tomorrow."

Zhang Siyu worked for a while, chopped ten cabbages, cut about thirty pounds of spinach, and then picked three pumpkins.

She also found some lettuce in the field, but not much, so she only cut a small handful.

That's about it. Zhang Siyu gathered the things together and then brought out the little fellow who was still grunting and plucking radishes from the ground.

"Luoba Luoba~" Peng Santiao was picked up and used his hands and feet to paddle the ground hard, indicating that he wanted to pull out more radishes.

"Pull it out." Zhang Siyu did as the little guy wished. She put him down and helped pull out the radish.

Wow, this radish is quite big...
