Song Shiwei patted the back of her hand soothingly and asked, "Uncle and aunt, can you help us find a few locals to go with us? I can pay. Anyone who is willing to take us there and send us there will be given 20 yuan! I want to find five people to accompany us!"
Hearing her words, Old Man Wang and his family's eyes lit up?
"How much did you say? Twenty dollars??"
Old Man Wang’s sons were so excited that they tried desperately to say something, but they didn’t know how to say it!
The daughters-in-law couldn't hold back any more and shouted, "Hey, big sister, if that's the case, why are you looking for someone else? It just so happens that you're not busy these days, and your brothers are free at home. They can all go with you!"
"That's right. Not only my husband, but my eldest son is also sixteen years old. Look at him, he's very strong. He can also accompany you!"
"And ours!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly poked her man and signaled him with her eyes: "Don't you think so?"
Her man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's right!"
That’s twenty yuan. How many trips of food delivery would his father have to make to earn back that twenty yuan?
Just follow them back and forth to Kadazi Mountain. It's not like they haven't been there before! It's very difficult for them, the outsiders, but for the locals, it's a common occurrence!
Old man Wang's wife was also very happy.
"Yeah, let your brothers and nephews accompany you. It's just a matter of looking for someone else, and it's safer for your family to go along! Besides, our eldest and second oldest brothers have been to Kadazi Mountain many times! They know the conditions in the mountains well, and they know exactly where you can go and where you can't! Don't you agree, Dad?"
Old man Wang was a little embarrassed when he was called out. He felt that his family had taken advantage of him.
But after all, if you don’t make money when you can, you’re a bastard!
Who would have a problem with money?
Nodding quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!!"
But he still felt bad.
"Well, they're all relatives. Just give ten dollars to each person!"
As soon as he said this, Song Shiwei clearly saw the disappointed expressions on the faces of his daughters-in-law.
He laughed and said, "No, no, no, uncle. I'm so happy that you guys and nephews are going with us. Just like you said, family is safe! Besides, who would give twenty dollars to a stranger and then ten dollars to our own people? You guys have worked hard, and I'll give you five dollars more when we get there! Twenty-five dollars each!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Man Wang's sons and daughters-in-law almost jumped up with excitement.
Old man Wang wanted to say something but was stopped by Song Zhiyong.
"Brother, don't refuse! We are happier than anyone else to have our children come with us! Money is nothing. Aren't our lives worth that much? Let the children be happy too. With the money, we can buy them some food and drinks. It's also a token of our appreciation!"
Song Shiwei also thought so. She was truly grateful to Old Man Wang for taking good care of them along the way!
Now that he can have his son follow him, he feels much more at ease than having outsiders around!
If someone outside has bad intentions, they might even try to steal your money or kill you.
But after her observation just now, she found that Old Man Wang and his family were all down-to-earth people.
Although his daughters-in-law were a bit smart, they were only thinking about their own families.
Before, she had deliberately made up a story that she was a distant relative of Yang's wife.
After all, in this valley, the more safety you can have, the safer you are.
People's hearts are hidden, so it's better to be cautious.
So, she had deliberately mentioned this in front of Old Man Wang's son and daughter-in-law just now, just to see if the older brothers of the Wang family could help them.
Now that they are willing, she is naturally happy.
"Oh, uncle, since the big brothers are willing, then it's settled! We'll set off early tomorrow morning and try to get there early and come back early!"
The sisters-in-law of the Wang family were immediately overjoyed, and even Old Man Wang’s wife was extremely happy.
He stood up and went to the kitchen. After a while, he brought out a bowl of egg and sugar water.
Hand it to Xinxin.
"Come, child, there's nothing good to offer you in our mountains, so I'll give you this egg syrup!"
Xinxin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, especially when she saw the envious eyes of the children around her.
The Wang family's little girl pursed her lips and tugged at her sleeve, saying enviously, "Sister, these eggs were just laid today. My grandma usually doesn't want to eat them and always sells them for money. I can only secretly taste some brown sugar during Chinese New Year or when my sisters-in-law are in confinement. My grandma treasures them so much! Come on, eat them and let me smell them too!"
When Xinxin heard this, she felt even worse.
For their family, eggs were almost always available, and grandma would fry two for each of them every morning.
Meat is available every day.
I didn’t expect that in a place like this, these children couldn’t even eat an egg.
They were adopted by Zhou Tingyue when they were young. He had a salary and they never lacked food.
When he was busy, he let them eat in the cafeteria.
Eggs are affordable, and since my mother came, there has been no shortage of eggs.
They can be said to have grown up in a honey pot.
Now she suddenly realized how difficult it was for children in the mountains, and she seemed to understand something in an instant.
Not everyone can afford to eat and wear clothes. They cherish everything in front of them more than anyone else, but they should actually cherish their current life more.
The good days were created for them by Song Shiwei and Zhou Tingyue, but their parents will grow old one day. As their children, they should study hard and work hard so that they can rely on their own abilities to give their parents a good life in the future.
During this time, Song Shiwei had been paying attention to Xinxin's expression. She suddenly took the eggs out of the bowl and poured the sugar water into the bowls of several children one by one.
“Let’s eat together!”
When the children saw the brown sugar water in their bowls, they were so happy that they picked it up and drank it!
This made Old Man Wang's wife laugh and scold: "Hey, you little bastards, how come you drank the sugar water!"
But Xinxin clearly noticed that all the sisters-in-law were also laughing.
She picked up the egg from the bowl and ate it carefully.
I don’t know why, this egg is just an ordinary egg, but it suddenly seems to become a little sweeter.
We had a very enjoyable meal.
The two rooms that the Wang family specially vacated for them at night were also specially prepared by the Wang family's daughter-in-law. Perhaps to thank them for their willingness to give twenty-five each, she also brought two extra mattresses to help them spread out on the clean mattresses.
They said they were worried that the bed was too hard and they wouldn't be able to get used to it.
Song Shiwei smiled and said no, he was used to living there.
But the enthusiasm of her sisters-in-law almost made her unable to bear it.
