Chapter 390: Two Families Are Delighted
"What?"
Xu Zilan's eyes sparkled: "I dug it up on the mountain that day. I remember you liked to eat this duck stewed with milk potatoes."
"You won't be able to find this after the season has passed, so just put it aside for now."
"There's a big ditch over there in the tea garden. Next year I'm going to raise some ducks there for our own consumption."
Xu Zijin took it without saying a word.
She knew that Xu Zilan wanted to please her and of course repay her.
"Would you like to eat here?"
Xu Zilan happily shook her head: "No, no, I'm steaming buns in the pot, I'll leave now."
Deputy Political Commissar Mao's youngest child was sent to kindergarten.
But Xu Zilan still had to take his three children to school early and pick them up late, take care of their homework, cook two meals a day, and wash clothes for five people.
Twenty dollars a month, really cheap labor.
But Xu Zijin didn't dare let Xu Zilan live outside alone. Although it would be tiring, at least she had a place to stay.
Hanging the basket on the side of the cabinet, Xu Zijin started cooking.
After dinner, when the children went to school, she took Chen Xiumei and Qi Hong to the city to look for Xiong Mazi.
“You dug it?”
When Xiong Mazi saw the wild ginseng with intact roots and bright color, his jaw almost dropped.
Xu Zijin smiled softly: "I'm not lying to you, we did find it accidentally when we went into the mountains a few days ago."
"Find someone who knows the business. I believe you can give us a reasonable price."
This is good stuff!
And the packaging... is also very beautiful!
Xiong Mazi knew that good things were hard to come by and he must not miss them when he came across them.
"You wait."
Xiong Mazi acted quickly and found an old man with a white beard twenty minutes later.
"This is my great-uncle. He is already eighty-eight years old this year. His ancestors worked as imperial physicians in the palace."
"The Xiong family used to have a medicine shop in the imperial capital, but it couldn't be opened more than ten years ago, so they returned to their ancestral home."
The two had done business together more than once, and Xiong Mazi knew that Xu Zijin always had good things, and as a military wife, she was a very honest person.
After the old man sat down, Xu Zijin nodded at him and took out all the ginseng.
When Mr. Xiong saw it...his eyes widened...
There are seventeen ginsengs, seven are about thirty years old, seven are about fifty years old, two are a hundred years old, and one is more than four hundred years old.
The price the old man set was very fair; six thousand and two hundred in total for seventeen ginsengs.
Of course, the really valuable one is the 400-year-old ginseng king, which costs 2,800 yuan each.
The hundred-year-old one was also given a thousand.
In this day and age, these are sky-high prices.
But Xu Zijin knew that in later generations, a genuine ginseng that was over a hundred years old, with this quality, would cost hundreds of thousands.
Chen Xiumei and Qi Hong each received 2,000 yuan, but they still felt uneasy after hiding the money.
In this trip, they earned more than a man’s annual salary…
"How much did it sell for?"
Wang Jianqiang went home for dinner and saw his wife still in a daze, so he spoke.
"two thousand."
"What? Two thousand?"
Wang Jianqiang thought he had heard it wrong!
Chen Xiumei still feels like it was a dream.
However, the money in her hands is real.
"Well, Qi Hong and I each got 2,000 yuan, and she got angry when we didn't want it."
"Jianqiang, hit me quickly to see if I am dreaming."
Wang Jianqiang: “…”
——His wife was scared crazy by this unexpected wealth!
No wonder Fan Jin went crazy after passing the imperial examination!
Wang Jianqiang is a soldier after all, and he is much calmer than his wife.
Ever since that lucky couple moved in next door, they have taken advantage of others so many times.
If you occupy more, you will be calm.
"What's for lunch? I'm hungry."
“Eat…eat…”
Chen Xiumei slapped her forehead and yelled, "It's over, I forgot to get food!"
When Wang Jianqiang heard this, he couldn't help but think to himself: It's over, his wife has gone crazy with the money!
The same thing happened at the Qi family. Qi Hong took a large bundle of banknotes and spread it on the dining table.
"I've never made so much money in my life! Lao Ding, look, it's all 'Great Unity'!"
Ding Hongyang looked at his money-loving wife and shook his head: I won't be able to sleep for several nights.
“Do you want to save it?”
Qi Hong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's not safe to keep so much money at home. I will go to the town to deposit it tomorrow."
"By the way, Lao Ding, I want to send one hundred yuan to my parents and your father each."
Ding Hongyang felt very warm.
The wife he married is really good.
The parents have four daughters-in-law, but which one would be willing to send the money she earns to her parents-in-law?
Even if it is the money earned by their sons, some people are still unwilling to use it to honor their parents.
Especially his parents, because he was not around for a long time, they would never think of him.
When his wife gave birth to two children, although his mother was not an evil mother-in-law, she rarely intervened.
It was only after my wife returned to her parents' home that she raised the two children.
"Let's wait until the New Year to send it. It will be considered as a token of our filial piety."
All right.
Qi Hong thought this was a good idea, so she sent the money back before the New Year and asked her parents to buy some clothes so they could have a good New Year.
"Okay, then Xiumei and I will go to the credit union to deposit it tomorrow."
"good."
The only normal person was Lu Hanzhou. When Xu Zijin came in, he was cooking lunch in the kitchen.
"You're back?"
Before leaving, Xu Zijin left a note on the table, and Lu Hanzhou knew where she was going.
Xu Zijin put down the backpack, which contained the things he bought today.
"Yeah, I'm back."
Lu Hanzhou nodded: "Then wash your hands quickly, dinner will be served soon."
After walking around for half a day, I felt a little hungry.
Xu Zijin immediately went into the kitchen: "Okay, what delicious food did you make?"
I had lunch at noon.
Lu Hanzhou brought a dish of braised pork ribs with winter melon from the camp, and went home to stir-fry some spicy and sour cabbage.
Add a bottle of fermented tofu.
Soon, the two started eating.
After sitting down, Xu Zijin briefly talked about going to the city to sell ginseng today: "The price was good, and the two sisters-in-law were very happy."
Who is unhappy?
Lu Hanzhou thought: I earned two years’ salary of a man last time I went up the mountain. Only a fool would be unhappy.
"It seems that your lucky card can really bring you good luck."
Hearing this, Xu Zijin took a mouthful of rice and ate for a few seconds before speaking.
"Of course, that mother-in-law can't deceive me?"
"Bring it with you next time you go out. It will definitely bring you good luck."
"OK."
Lu Hanzhou was not polite either. It should be okay to borrow his wife's things!
As long as his wife wants his things, he will even give her his life.
After the training results came out, the Provincial Education Commission discussed with Xu Zijin and wanted to speed up the training of primary school teachers in each city.
We hope to train all primary school teachers in several cities before December.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and Xu Zijin didn't want to go out in the cold, so he discussed it with Lu Hanzhou...
But before she could say anything, Lu Hanzhou spoke first: "I still want to discuss with you, I have to go on a mission soon."
What?
Xu Zijin opened his mouth and said, "Another mission? And right away?"
