Chapter 78 Mother and Daughter Talk
Lin Xiuzhen talked about the problems that would arise when picking fruits on the mountain. "I'm worried that if we pick too many, someone might complain. So to be safe, let's see if we can be contracted to do it. In case someone sees us picking so many fruits and reports us, or does something disgusting, that would be bad."
Lin Xiuzhen explained the matter clearly to everyone in advance.
I’m just worried that someone might get jealous. After all, everything on the mountain belongs to the village. Everyone can see that the fruits are rotten, but they just can’t stand seeing someone taking advantage of the village.
Human emotions are very complex.
You may not think highly of something at ordinary times, but once it is coveted by others, or once others use it to create profits, jealous people will emerge.
So it hasn’t started yet, but we have to avoid it first.
Lin Xiuzhen is very confident in what she does.
So I am not worried about not being able to sell them. What I am more worried about now is that if I pick too many wild fruits, people in the village will complain.
Old Man Lin tapped the welding smoke in his hand, and then said, "Okay, I'll tell the village tomorrow, let's report it first, and give the money if it's due. Anyway, we can't let anyone catch us!"
Others have no objection.
It's just that everyone is more worried that this thing won't sell...
But when I thought about the canned food I had in the afternoon, I didn’t seem to be so worried anymore.
So the matter was settled, and Lin Xiuzhen slept with Old Lady Lin at night.
In the evening, the mother and daughter had a good chat for a while.
Old Mrs. Lin was old and often couldn't sleep, so she would pull Lin Xiuzhen aside to talk.
"I didn't expect that you would wake up in your middle age. It seems that what the old monk said before was right. He said that when people reach middle age, they will wake up and let nature take its course. Good results will come naturally. Your father and I were stunned when we heard it. You don't even know how miserable you were in the past few years. If it weren't for your man's caring attitude, you would have a hard time now."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just did some stupid things. It's not that exaggerated. Now I've come to my senses, isn't it?" Lin Xiuzhen felt that Mrs. Lin's description was strange.
"You're right, you really pissed me off a few years ago. You misinterpreted everything I said and made me really angry."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the past. Our lives will be better from now on. Also, I've noticed recently that no one is really monitoring this black market. It's usually strictly checked for a period of time, and then it goes quiet again. It seems that this market is slowly being liberalized, so you don't have to worry!"
Lin Xiuzhen comforted.
"That's true. I see more people doing private transactions now. The last time Guodong went to town, he made five dollars."
"But the black market has been turbulent recently, so it's better to avoid going there, to avoid getting hurt by mistake!"
Lin Xiuzhen did not forget to remind him.
Lin Laoju nodded in agreement, and the mother and daughter chatted for a long time. Then, thinking that Lin Xiuzhen had to go to work tomorrow, they decided not to say too much.
"Okay, go to sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow. Ask your big brother to take you there then."
These words instantly frightened Lin Xiuzhen awake.
"Mom, please don't mess with me! Big brother is so old, why does he still want to give me a ride? It's better to let Guodong or Guoliang!"
At least these two are still young guys, so they are not afraid of falling.
If the eldest brother comes, and the two of them fall down, these two old bones won’t be able to hold on.
When Mrs. Lin heard Lin Xiuzhen's exaggerated words, she burst into laughter.
"That's true. You two are too old to continue riding. Let your nephew take you!"
Lin Xiuzhen then breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Lin Guodong took Lin Xiuzhen to the town.
While on the road, Lin Xiuzhen asked who in the family was good at farming, hoping to have more people come home to help.
After all, someone still needs help to grow the vegetables in the field, plus the vegetables have to be delivered to the city. With this every day, the vegetable garden at home can’t last long.
When Lin Guodong heard about growing vegetables, he said that he could grow them at home. He also said that Lin Guomei was also very good at growing vegetables and took good care of them, so there were basically no insects in the vegetable garden at home.
Lin Xiuzhen listened and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll come find you guys when the time comes to plant vegetables. My family needs to plant vegetables again now, and I need a lot of people to take care of it."
"Okay, aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Lin Guodong is a relatively honest person, and he is also the kind of person who is down-to-earth and hardworking.
Lin Xiuzhen has a good impression of this nephew.
When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, we happened to see Chu Xia and Gu Xialin waiting on the side with a basket of vegetables.
There was someone waiting nearby, asking the two sisters if they wanted to sell vegetables.
The two sisters explained why they didn't want to go in, but unexpectedly, Manager Yang called them in directly.
This is their dish, and we can’t let others covet it.
When Lin Xiuzhen arrived at the state-owned hotel, the two sisters were already sitting in the lobby.
When they saw Lin Xiuzhen coming, the two sisters stood up with a look of surprise.
"Mother/Aunt, you are here?"
"Well, you guys are here to deliver the food? Okay, then sit down. I'll make you some meat buns in the morning!"
Lin Xiuzhen did not let the two go back directly. Instead, she asked them to stay for breakfast, packed some meat buns for home, and then let them go home.
Before going back, he did not forget to say, "Do more at noon. I think your cousin will send some fruit over in the afternoon. You two can take care of it then. The rest will be ready when I get back in the evening!"
Both sisters agreed.
Then he happily took the things and went home.
The life they are living now is something they never dared to imagine before.
Because it is so beautiful.
They have food to eat and shelter to stay at, and they don't have to be beaten or scolded like before. For the two of them, this is already a very good life.
After watching the two of them leave, Zhao Qiuju and a few others came to find Lin Xiuzhen and simply gave the vegetables to them to choose from. After they had chosen, they paid their money and left happily.
After eating Lin Xiuzhen’s vegetables these days, I feel that my temper has improved a lot.
I was always very irritable because of menopause, but now the situation has improved a lot, which is a good start.
My mood improved, my whole mental state improved, the atmosphere at home improved, and when I saw my son and daughter-in-law, I had a rare good look on my face.
The atmosphere in this family has also become much more harmonious.
The old man in the family said that the family is happy every day now.
