Chapter 161 A Call from the County
Han Changping was still shocked when Xu Huimin slapped a stack of money in his hand.
"I'm not in a hurry to use it."
"I know you have money, but I made a lot of money last time, and I should pay you back."
Han Changping looked at Xu Huimin, smiled, and accepted it.
"How many days do you plan to stay this time?"
"It's harvest time now, and the weather looks good. Let's find some people to clean up our house and put some grass on the roof to help us get through the winter. If we have enough money next year, we can build a brick house."
As they spoke, Xu Huimin looked at Han Changping's new brick house with great envy.
"If we can get a house this big, it will be big enough for my dad and me to live in. It will be warm and cozy. If we buy a TV, we can live a good life."
"Sister Huimin, why don't you consider your own life? After all, you are not young anymore."
Looking at Han Changping's frank eyes, Xu Huimin smiled helplessly.
"Let's talk about this later. Right now, I just want to make a lot of money so that my father can live a good life.
Okay, enough of this. I heard your workshop is busy again. I'll come over to help you when you're collecting the Acanthopanax stalks tonight."
"No need, Sister Huimin. You've finally come back, so take a few days to rest."
"Don't be polite with me. Oh, I remembered something."
As she spoke, Xu Huimin's expression suddenly became very serious.
"Xiao Si, Hong Wei actually brought Li Jiazhi to open a workshop in Shanhe."
"Is it not causing you any trouble, sister?"
"I didn't find any trouble. Their workshop is far away from us, and the price they charge is not high. I think he must have done it himself this time."
"That's fine, as long as you don't cause any trouble. Business, if you make money, someone else will naturally take over. Recently, what about Assistant Ren?"
"Oh, thanks to Assistant Ren's help, my business has grown much faster and is now on track. Don't worry, I have my own people helping out in every area, and I'll pay for their work."
"Sister Huimin,"
Han Changping couldn't help but give Xu Huimin a thumbs-up and said,
"Amazing! You're getting better day by day."
"What's so great about that? I'm lucky to have such a good brother like you. I'll go back first and come over in the evening."
Looking at Xu Huimin's back as she left, Han Changping shook his head.
It seems that this stubborn woman will never get married unless she meets a man who is willing to be her son-in-law in the future. I hope good people can have a good life.
When the autumn wind blows, the leaves turn yellow, and the mountains are covered with red and yellow, Erhe Village also begins its annual autumn harvest.
Han Changping has not been busy with work in the workshop these days, and he has also helped his second sister's family harvest the rice.
Fortunately, the village primary school was on holiday during the busy farming season, one in spring and one in autumn. Teacher Wang Zhilin followed his family to the rice fields to harvest rice, waving sickles in their hands.
"Xiao Si, look at how well the rice is growing this year. It's going to be another bumper year."
"Well, it's a bright yellow piece, I like it just by looking at it."
Han Changping was extremely happy as he tied the rice stalks and looked at the golden fields.
“How many days will it take to finish these plots of land?”
Han Yuemei was the main labor force in the family, so she left the old man at home to work and went to the fields to harvest rice.
"The three of us start early and finish the work in four or five days. What's left is to get the corn from the field and clean up the land.
Waiting for the freezing weather, threshing the rice, that's the end of the year. After the New Year, it's time to prepare for next year's farming. This is the life of us ordinary people."
"Don't worry, Second Sister, life will get better day by day, bah..."
Han Changping spat forcefully on his hands, gripped the sickle tightly, leaned over and started cutting again.
One day, Han Changping was harvesting rice in the field. Someone came to the field on a bicycle and shouted to Han Changping from a distance,
"Changping, Changping, phone number. Someone called looking for you. It's a woman who said she's from the county town."
Han Changping was startled and quickly stood up.
"Female?"
He was stunned. When Wang Zhilin heard that it was a woman, he became interested and asked hurriedly,
"Changping, could it be Wang Yingying?"
"Why did she call me?"
Muttering something, Han Changping walked out of the rice field, came to the road, got on his bike and ran towards the village.
The moment Han Changping picked up the phone, he thought it was Wang Yingying, but when the voice came from the other end, he realized it was Zhang Xueying, the female owner of a grain and oil store in the county town.
"Boss Zhang, is that you?"
"Why, if I don't call you, why don't you call me?"
Zhang Xueying laughed heartily as she opened her mouth. Han Changping quickly said,
"It's been a bit busy these past few days. We've started to sell off the land. Boss Zhang, business has been good lately, right?"
"Thanks to your good words, I can still make ends meet. I just heard that the land has been ceded down there, so I called you. How is this year's banker?"
"Good, the grains are full this year, it's a bumper harvest."
"Okay, that's what I wanted to hear from you. I want to go for a walk these days. Do you have time to accompany me?"
"Okay, when will you come?"
"The day after tomorrow, I'll go directly to Erhe Village to find you. I'll first check out the rice in your village, and then go to the village below."
"Okay, then I'll prepare some food and drinks to welcome Boss Zhang."
Han Changping instantly recalled the last time he and Zhang Xueying drank in the county town. The feeling was still vivid in his mind.
"Well, there will definitely be time to sit down and drink."
When Wang Zhilin heard that the androgynous boss Zhang from last time was coming, he was a trusting person and hurriedly asked,
"Xiao Si, what is she doing here? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to you?"
"Second brother-in-law,"
Han Changping found Wang Zhilin's gossipy look really funny.
"You, I'm even wondering how you got the job as a teacher. How could you be with a woman? Oh, it's a woman who's talking to me. Come to see me, she's got her eye on me. Am I that popular?"
"There wasn't one before, but there is one now. What on earth did she come to see you for? I think that woman is androgynous, but she's pretty. The key is that I think she has some skills.
She looks like a big boss, she must be a rich man. If you can marry a wife like her, you will be lucky enough. "
Hearing Wang Zhilin's tone, Han Changping inexplicably wanted to tease him a little.
"Second brother-in-law, if you don't want me to marry Liang Ying, then you can become the principal of Erhe Village Primary School?"
"You disagreed, didn't you? Besides, Liang Ying isn't as pretty or rich as Boss Zhang. I see you like Boss Zhang too."
"No, second brother-in-law, which eye of yours saw that I like Zhang Xueying?"
