Chapter 192: Short of Money
"Qiao Mo, thank you for your hard work." Wang Jiaqi expressed his gratitude to Qiao Mo again before letting everyone go.
When he returned to the house, it was a little late. Qiao Mo didn't read the book. After washing up, he sat on the bed and practiced "The Secret of Herbs and Trees" for two hours before entering the space.
She first picked all the mushrooms she could, then went to the back of the bungalow to pick and put away the ripe oranges and pears, and then packed the bamboo shoots she had collected today into sacks and put them back into the bungalow.
After doing all this, she broke out in a sweat again, went to the bathroom to take a bath, enjoyed a massage bath, and felt completely relaxed. Then she washed off the bubbles on her body, wiped off the water stains on her head and body, put on a bathrobe, went back to the bedroom to blow dry her hair, studied medical skills and foreign languages, and only went to bed to rest after completing the assigned tasks.
The next day, she also got up before four o'clock, practiced two sets of boxing in the flat field, washed up, and then left the space. Seeing that no one had gotten up yet, she went to the small kitchen to put a few sacks of bamboo shoots into the space, and then carried the equipment for going into the mountains and headed towards the North Mountain.
In the following days, Qiao Mo went to Beishan to dig bamboo shoots every day, read books, repair chains and take care of the space at home at night, and went to the fork in the road to negotiate with Xiaofeng at midnight the next day. Because the weather was relatively cold, meat could be kept for a long time. In addition to selling food, Qiao Mo would also provide some meat according to the needs of Xiaofeng and others.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and the leave given to them by Secretary Tang was over. Qiao Mo and the other five people also had to go back to work.
"Momo, I heard that you did well in the exam. Are you planning to go back to Donghai to study?" Aunt Wu asked with a smile when she saw her.
"Well, if I can pass the exam, I plan to go back. Aunt Wu, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you in good health?" Qiao Mo also greeted her with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay. Thanks to you, my third and fourth children have become much more sensible. Thank you." The Wu brothers told their parents how Qiao Mo taught them how to fill in the application form and estimate the scores. Aunt Wu thanked them from the bottom of her heart.
"They are sensible enough. We just gave them a reminder." Qiao Mo smiled and shook his head.
There is nothing else to do in winter except weeding and fertilizing winter crops such as wheat and rapeseed. This day is no exception. Women go to the wheat fields to weed and men apply fertilizer.
The weeding work was not too tiring. The weather was nice and the warm sunshine shone on our bodies. We chatted while working and the day passed quickly.
"The days are too short this winter. It's dark when I get home from work." Chen Chen sighed after returning to the educated youth site.
"Sister Chen is right. It's not until after seven in the morning that it gets light, which makes it inconvenient to do anything." Wu Shudong nodded in agreement. In the past few days, they have tasted the joy of making money, but it's a pity that the time is too short. If it were summer, they could go to the mountains for more than an hour after work, but this is not possible in winter.
"You are really obsessed with money." Tang Xinmei scolded them with a smile.
"It's not that I'm obsessed with money, but I'm short of money. I can't go to college wearing these patched clothes, can I?" Wu Shudong said sadly, looking at his clothes. "And I have living expenses and tuition fees in the future. I can't go to school hungry, can I?"
