"The total cost of saving him was one thousand taels. He gave me three hundred taels first, and I still have more than two hundred and seventy taels in my hand."
"Let's build the house first." Qiu Yinong said without allowing any room for rebuttal.
Seeing her tough attitude, Qiu Hansheng had no choice but to accept the banknote.
Father Qiu said cheerfully, "Big Boss, just listen to your sister. It's time for a new addition to the family."
Mother Qiu also nodded in agreement, and Qiu Yinong went back to her room with a satisfied smile.
After taking a shower, Qiu Yinong fell asleep quickly.
Chu Hongyun originally thought that he would not be able to sleep, as he could hear the voices in the main room.
I became more and more interested in the little girl. She was like a treasure. Every time I opened a box, I would find a surprise.
Being able to lead the entire village to prosperity is truly unique. He is looking forward to the future development of the village.
After a good night's sleep, Chunlan and others came to the Qiu family again in the morning.
"Aunt Qiu, you're back." Mother Qiu was also surprised to see Chunlan had changed from her usual gloomy look and was smiling happily.
Looking at the other girls, Mother Qiu quickly took out the snacks and candies she had bought from Zeyang County and distributed them to everyone.
"Thank you, Aunt Qiu." A group of girls expressed their gratitude happily.
Qiu Yinong came out of the house rubbing her eyes. Chunlan saw her and said happily, "Xiao Liu, you're back."
"We have fulfilled our mission and have finished everything. Come and check it out." Chunlan and the others were not here to work, but to inform Qiu Yinong and the others that they had completed their work.
Qiu Yinong was dragged by her to the room where the soap was stored. As soon as she entered the room, the fragrance of flowers and milk hit her nose.
Looking at the neatly stacked soaps, although the pattern drawn on the oil paper this time is simple, it is still pretty good.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come on, go to my room. I bought you gifts." Qiu Yinong invited them to the room.
Mother Qiu also walked into the room curiously and was surprised to see the neatly stacked fragrant soaps.
This girl has been busy since she returned home.
She also paid off the family's debts, and Mother Qiu felt a sense of guilt.
They never gave the girl a penny, but instead kept taking from her.
I must treat this girl well in the future.
"Is this really for me?" Just as Mrs. Qiu closed the door, she heard Chunlan's surprised voice.
Qiu Yinong was also very happy to see them so happy.
"Thank you for your hard work these days. This is your reward. You can choose one yourself." Qiu Yinong said happily.
The bracelets are made of colorful soft ropes, some are made of a few taels of silver, and some are made of small silver coins.
Each piece weighs 50 grams, and she asked Xiao Tongzi to help her prepare it with silver before going to bed yesterday.
I just remembered that the bracelets have already been woven.
"I like it, I like it. Thank you so much, Xiaoliu." Chunlan happily asked someone to help her put it on.
Then she caught a glimpse of the embroidery on the frame and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After taking the gifts, the girls walked out of Qiu Yinong's room.
When they went out, they happened to see Qiu Hanli helping Chu Hongyun to go to the toilet. Chunlan and the others looked at them curiously, then turned to look at Qiu Yinong.
"Who is this?"
"He's a distant relative of mine. He used to work at the quarry with my parents. He got injured and there was no one else at home, so he came to my house to recuperate."
"Maybe I will stay in the village to work in the future, or maybe I will go back." Qiu Yinong explained with a smile.
When Qiu's mother heard this, she also agreed and said that it was the son of her distant cousin.
Chunlan nodded suddenly, then said goodbye to Qiu's mother happily and went home.
As the days go by, the village changes day by day.
Qiu Yinong took out some more money and repaired the road in the village.
It is all paved with bluestone slabs, which makes people feel comfortable just by looking at it.
Taohua Village has changed a lot, and people from several nearby villages always come to watch the fun.
Taohua Village changed every day. The villagers even started to gather together to eat in a big pot. Every time it was time to eat, there were more than a dozen tables set up there.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't shocked. After the Qiu family asked people to help, many people came forward on their own initiative.
Some were disdainful. Everyone knew that Qiu Baishun's family was the poorest in Taohua Village. How could they expect to eat anything good working for him?
But when he saw the daily feast of meat and fish that the helpers ate, or the chickens, ducks, and geese in turn, and even game from time to time, he began to regret it.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the peach blossoms began to fade.
Qiu Yinong asked the villagers to collect flower petals for her, and even started collecting from other villages.
"Xiao Liu, I've brought you some flower petals. They were collected from Baxiang Village. They cost three cents in total."
"Thank you, Brother Zongxing, you've worked hard. Have a drink of water. Here are ten cents." Qiu Yinong looked up at the visitor and poured him a bowl of water.
As April approaches, the weather starts to get hotter.
Qiu Zongxing didn't bother to be polite with her, took the money and drank the water.
"It's still early, I'll go see if I can get another basket for you, sister."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zong Xing." Qiu Yinong thanked him gratefully.
"Hey, it's just walking more. My left hand is disabled, and I can't earn more than ten cents a day if I go to the town or the county on weekdays. Now I can earn dozens of cents a day by going to more places."
"Your sister-in-law is very happy."
"Then Brother Zong Xing, take your time, there's no rush." Qiu Yinong reminded him again, and then gave him a porcelain bottle.
Zong Xing took it with his right hand. Qiu Yinong said, "The yellow one here is a detoxification pill, and the bean-green one is a small stamina pill. Keep it with you for emergencies."
"Don't refuse. Brother Zong Xing runs around for me, and sometimes he needs to travel through the mountains and forests, just in case."
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you. I think the peach blossoms can still be harvested for a few more days."
"Thank you very much, Brother Zong Xing." Most of the people who went to collect peach blossoms for Qiu Yinong were slightly disabled or did not have much labor force.
There are also some half-grown children who go to the mountains together to pick or gather peach blossoms.
There are a lot of peach blossoms at home now. Half of them are kept to make perfume powder, snacks or essential oils, and the rest are used to make peach blossom wine.
"Sister, it's done." Qiu Hanli ran over happily.
Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Qiu Yinong knew what was inside.
Qiu Hanli put down a bowl and poured out the wine inside.
A scent of peach blossoms spread out, Qiu Hanyan put down the book in his hand, and Chu Hongyun also leaned over to look.
"Well, the taste is almost the same, and the flavor is the same. How much did it cost?" Qiu Yinong took a sip and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Qiu Hanli's eyes sparkled and he stretched out his hand to gesture.
"Only five pounds? Impossible. With so many peach blossoms, only five pounds were produced."
"What five jin? It's fifty jin." Qiu Hanli laughed. He didn't expect that his sister would be silly sometimes.
Qiu Yinong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I was mistaken."
