Chapter 174: Easily Satisfied (Part 1)
Jiang Zhiluo was really excited when she saw the bamboo.
She was high up on the toon tree, looking into the distance, and rubbed her eyes hard to make sure she was not mistaken, that it was real bamboo.
Jiang Zhiluo quickly picked some toon buds, then climbed down from the treetop and walked towards the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is in the valley on the other side of the mountains, in the wilderness.
If she hadn't climbed up this towering toon tree, she might not have been able to discover it.
Jiang Zhiluo came to the bamboo forest at an extremely fast speed.
Looking at this patch of bamboo that was growing very well, she seemed to see countless umbrellas and that his parents were making a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes shone with a bright and dazzling luster.
“Fortunately, I’m used to carrying tools when I go up the mountain.”
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo took out an axe from the space and chopped at the bamboo.
It wouldn't make sense for her to carry the bamboo back like this.
It is also not convenient to walk on the mountain because the vegetation here is lush.
"I can only put it in the space and take it back."
Jiang Zhiluo cut a lot of bamboo, tied it up with ropes, and put it into the space.
After working for a while, it was getting late.
Jiang Zhiluo thought that the reason why bamboo grew here was related to the climate of this valley.
The valley has a warm and humid climate.
She entered the space and looked at the number of bamboos.
"These bamboos are enough for my father to make umbrellas in a short time."
"If it's not enough by then, come and cut some bamboo."
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Zhiluo had no choice but to pack up her things, put on her backpack and go home.
After walking for almost half an hour (more than an hour), Jiang Zhiluo finally arrived at their village.
When she was walking down the mountain, she saw several villagers carrying farm tools and talking and laughing as they walked towards the village.
"Aunt Cui's fields have been cultivated, and the village head has helped us settle today's wages. We don't have to work tomorrow."
"After working for so many days, the money I earned can buy a lot of food."
"We have enough food for our family, and the money we earn can supplement our family income."
“It would be great if there was always a place in our village where we could work and get paid every day.”
"Yes, it's right in my own village. I don't have to walk far. I can go home for lunch and rest at noon, and I can go home after dark. It doesn't affect anything."
Although it only cost ten cents a day, everyone was happy to work.
You don’t have to go far from the village and can go home when it’s time to eat.
"Only the Cui family has such a big guy. He goes out to work as a farmhand for a wealthy family. He can't go home for half a month or a month. If he doesn't do his job well, he will be beaten by the manager."
"You see, some temporary workers work outside. They may not have work the next day, and they have to provide for their own food and accommodation."
"Yes, food and accommodation are the biggest expenses. Even if some people sleep on the streets, they can't even chew dry food for three meals a day. After a long time, the body can't bear it."
"It's okay when the weather is warm, but when it's cold, sleeping on the street can freeze you to death."
Everyone sighed in their hearts and felt that it was more comfortable to stay at home.
Since they can make a living by farming, no one wants to go out to find a job.
Not to mention that it’s hard to find a job, even if you do find a job it’s not that easy.
Buying the cheapest bun will cost you a few cents, not to mention if you do manual labor and have a big appetite, one bun will not be enough to fill you up.
I feel dizzy and dizzy from working without enough food.
"Don't think too much. Let's just take good care of the few acres of land at home. We'll have food and shelter. Even if we're a little frugal, at least we'll be comfortable."
"That's right. I'm only busy with planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. I'm pretty free on weekdays, so I'm not too tired."
"But this year is definitely much better. I've earned a lot of copper coins by helping the Cui family build a house and farm. If I save some, I can have a good New Year."
"Yeah, I'm willing to buy a pound of meat to try it."
"Ha ha……"
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shines over the village.
Jiang Zhiluo could imagine everyone's expressions and felt that the villagers lived a simple and pure life.
Really easy to satisfy.
When they were almost home, Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly took out the bamboo from the space and dragged it home with a rope.
Fortunately, their family lived at the northernmost end of the village, and they arrived home right after coming down the mountain. There was no one in the fields, so they didn't need to be known.
The villagers are really warm and welcoming. When they see what you have, they will curiously greet you.
When Jiang Zhiluo arrived home, Cui Hejin also returned home.
Hearing the noise, Cui Hejin came out and saw Jiang Zhiluo dragging a pile of bamboo.
Cui Hejin hurried forward to take the rope and said, "Let me do it!"
Jiang Zhiluo could only give the rope to Cui Hejin and said, "This is the bamboo I found in the valley behind the mountain in Niushan Village. I just cut it down and made an umbrella for my father."
"Well, these can make a lot of umbrellas."
"Are you tired of dragging all this bamboo back?"
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, it's just a little far."
It’s really not tiring to put it in space.
Cui Hejin thought it must be hard to get so many bamboos from there, so he whispered, "Next time you need bamboo, I'll go cut it down."
He also chops the firewood needed for the family on a daily basis, so he has experience.
Jiang Zhiluo's lips moved, and she wanted to say no, but when she met Cui Hejin's gentle eyes, she couldn't say anything else and could only nod and say, "Okay."
As if her refusal would hurt him.
I don’t know why I feel this way.
Naturally, she was reluctant to let him be unhappy in the slightest.
When they arrived in the yard, Mrs. Cui was lighting a fire at the stove. She looked towards the door and was surprised to see so many bamboos. She asked, "Zhiluo, where did you get these bamboos?"
Mrs. Cui remembered that there was no bamboo forest nearby.
Jiang Zhiluo patiently explained, "Mom, when I went to Niushan Village to get Chinese toon sprouts, I happened to find a bamboo forest and cut some back."
Madam Cui smiled happily and said, "My daughter Zhiluo is really amazing. You see, you always find good things when you go to the mountains."
Old Madam Cui also knew that Zhiluo had always wanted to find Zhuzi so that her father could do the umbrella business.
"I just made some bread. Zhiluo, you can take some bread to send to your parents."
As the family's conditions improved, Mrs. Cui also supported Zhiluo in helping her parents.
She also went through the time of being someone else's daughter-in-law, and now that she is a mother-in-law, she especially understands Zhiluo's feelings.
We are all human beings and have feelings. How can we not miss our mother's home? What's more, every member of the Jiang family is so nice.
If her mother's family was well off, she wouldn't have to worry too much. Zhiluo had so many younger brothers and sisters, and they were old enough to eat.
If her parents' conditions improve, Zhiluo will also be in a good mood.
Anyway, Mrs. Cui felt that Zhiluo's good mood was more important than anything else.
Most importantly, she was grateful to the Jiang family for marrying such a good daughter to her son.
Jiang Zhiluo felt warm in her heart when she heard what Mrs. Cui said.
"Okay, in a couple of days, when the bakery oven is ready, I'll make some bread and bring the bamboo with me."
"That's as it should be. It's the end of the month, and He Jin should take a day off. Let him go with you."
What's more, in two days it will be He Jin's rest time.
