Qiao Xinguo's carpentry skills are really impeccable. In just one afternoon, he not only made two beds, but also nailed a layer of wooden boards to the wall where the beds were to be placed to prevent the wall dust from rubbing onto the beds.
The windows have been replaced with new wooden frames, and the two are planning to make a table and some chairs tomorrow, and then replace the door.
Mom and Aunt Gao were very smart. The two girls built a proper double-pot earthen stove by themselves. They just had to repair the chimney and it would be ready for use after it was fully heated.
Qiao Zhixia cooked rice on the makeshift stove set up outside, and took out the cooked food she had bought to fill the stomachs of the people who had been busy all day.
After dinner, my parents sent the Gao couple away. Qiao Zhixia had already made beds for them and boiled water on the stove. She poured water for them to wash their faces and brought it to their beds.
The couple were both in poor health and were exhausted after a long day, but they were still very happy to see the cleaned-up house.
"It will get better and better." Qiao Zhixia squeezed the towel for her father.
Qiao Xinguo looked at his considerate and sensible daughter and smiled with relief: "Well, it will be fine."
Before going to bed, Qiao Zhixia and her mother hung up the curtains together. Her mother felt particularly sorry for the money when she saw the brand new material, and repeatedly reminded her to be frugal.
Qiao Zhixia agreed repeatedly and went to fetch some Chinese medicine for them.
At night, she slept particularly soundly, listening to the chirping of insects in the back hill and the steady breathing of her parents in the other room.
She must protect her home for the rest of her life.
In the early morning, when the roosters in the village just crowed, she got out of bed quietly.
She told her parents yesterday that she was going to the county town in the morning. She was going to do business in partnership with 그 in the county town.
The couple didn't know much about doing business, but they knew that Qiao Zhixia and Chen Jidong had been wandering around in the county town for three years before, so they were naturally more useful than them, so they didn't ask too many questions.
It was still dark when she left the house. Qiao Xinguo was worried and insisted on sending her to the town.
After we got on the bus from the town to the county seat, the sky had just brightened.
This time, she still set up her stall at the same location as last time, preparing to try out 500 kilograms first.
As soon as 꺳 unloaded the carrots from the tricycle, factory workers and their families who were passing by came over.
"Hey, Miss Xiao, what took you so long?" A retired old man who had bought radishes from her last time showed a surprised expression when he recognized Qiao Zhixia.
Qiao Zhixia was about to respond when she heard the eldest master say, "My grandson never ate radishes before, but after he took a bite of your radish last time, he kept asking for more. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
A curly-haired lady came up and said excitedly, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my wife has had toothaches for a while now, and she took a lot of medicine but none of them worked. But after eating your Jingyang radish for two days in a row, her toothache was gone. But she hasn't eaten it for the past ten days, and it hurts again."
A knowledgeable young man wearing glasses nearby couldn't help but feel suspicious after hearing these words:
"Is this radish really that powerful? Is there any problem?"
Qiao Zhixia wanted to explain, but the curly-haired lady beat her to the punch:
"What's the problem? My son works at the Municipal Agricultural Research Institute. He initially suspected that this kind of radish might have cat food in it, so he cut a piece of it and did some research on it. He found that not only is this Jingyang sweet radish harmless to eat, but the nutritional value in it is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary white radishes. Eating more of it is good for your health!"
After hearing this, Qiao Zhixia was shocked at first, and then she smiled awkwardly. She didn't know that she was so amazing.
You don’t have to feel guilty about promoting it in the future.
And it looks like today's 5,000 kilograms of radishes will have no problem selling.
"Weigh two for you."
"Two."
"I want four this time."
"Buy them as a gift, give you eight..."
Qiao Zhixia was very busy collecting money and giving carrots to 그.
In just two hours, all the 5,000 kilograms of white radishes in Qiao Zhixia's space were sold out.
One radish weighs about eight kilograms, and there are more than 600 radishes in 5,000 kilograms. Many people buy two or more at a time. A lot of radishes come in and out of the factory, so the products sell out quickly.
But people in the county town have limited spending power after all, and her radishes are not cheap. The reason they sold well this time is because she hasn't been here for a long time.
If you come every day, it may not be easy to sell.
But this time the profit was considerable, earning two thousand five hundred.
She packed up her stall and, like last time, delivered two carrots to the hotel next door and gave them some stall fees.
Just as she reached the counter, a familiar voice rang out from behind her, making her gasp.
"Zhizhi, do you want to come here for dinner? I heard that you just separated. The food in this restaurant is not cheap. You should spend the few hundred dollars in your pocket sparingly! After all, Brother Dong can't support you anymore."
Qiao Zhixia turned around and saw that half of Wang Ruqiu's face was covered with several white spots caused by burns. The skin at the end of her right eye was slightly adhered, causing the corner of her eye to droop downward. She looked like she no longer had the radiance she once had.
But despite this, it did not affect the hidden pride in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Zhixia.
What on earth is she so proud of? Qiao Zhixia felt like vomiting and started to mock:
"Hey~ Isn't this Wang Zhiqing who pretended to jump into the river and threatened to die? He's still alive. It's a pity that his face is rotten. Is this retribution?"
The pride in Wang Ruoqiu's eyes was instantly replaced by anger, but at this time the hotel owner walked over.
"Qiao, are you selling out your food so quickly again?"
"Yes, Boss Su, I left two more for you." Qiao Zhixia raised the two large radishes in the box.
Wang Ruoqiu, who was originally full of anger, suddenly became in a good mood when he learned that Qiao Zhixia came to the county town to sell vegetables.
"Zhizhi, so you are here to sell vegetables? I was wondering how you could possibly be willing to spend money on a meal, since you are used to being frugal." There was a hint of sarcasm in Wang Ruoqiu's words.
Qiao Zhixia frowned, turned around and stared at her coldly, "What's wrong with selling vegetables? That's more expensive than selling body!"
"...You..." Wang Ruoqiu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
She glanced awkwardly at the contemptuous looks cast at her in the store, and then pulled Qiao Zhixia to the stone steps outside the door.
After making sure that no one was paying attention, she changed her expression completely: "Qiao Zhixia, you are just jealous, right? Dong Ge chose you, and he didn't want you even though you came to him. You must be very angry, right?"
Qiao Zhixia sneered: "I am quite angry. I am angry that I was blind and saw two pieces of shit. Now I feel like vomiting if I look at you for one more second."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoqiu gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger. In her opinion, Qiao Zhixia's words were just a disguise to cover up her pain.
The more she thought about it, the more proud she became, with the arrogance of a winner on her face, "Do you know why 놛 chose 놖? Because 놖 is noble, and you... are too cheap. You have been working outside with 놛놖 for four years, and 놛 only pays you a few dozen yuan a month, and has never given you a single gift, right?"
When Wang Ruoqiu said this, she looked at Qiao Zhixia's increasingly gloomy face, and the pride in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"But do you know? All the money you earned with me was spent on me. I bought your clothes, shoes and lipstick. I also accompanied you to eat Western food and watch movies... Would I be willing to spend a penny on you? A man's money goes where his love goes!"
"Pa - are you done?" Qiao Zhixia's slap was faster than her mouth.
Wang Ruoqiu's eyes were red with anger, "How dare you hit me?"
"You're a whore and you still want to show off. Who else should I hit if not you?"
