Chapter 20



After saying that, Zhang Zixuan pushed the wheelchair with both hands to the bamboo hole that Jian Xiu had just blocked, pinched the small wooden block and gently twisted it to the left.

After a while, the water slowly flowed down.

Zhang Zhiyong, who saw this, was so shocked that he was speechless.

"It's only half a month. How did you come up with that?"

"These are what Jian Xiu thought of."

"How could that be what I thought of? I just had a general idea. Don't I still have to rely on you to do the detailed work?" Jian Xiu said to Zhang Zixuan angrily.

Zhang Zhiyong: “….”

The impact that the couple had on him today was so great that he couldn't recover for a while.

"Zhiyong, have you eaten yet? If not, why not eat at my sister-in-law's place? Didn't you say that bamboo shoots are inedible? Today I will cook these bamboo shoots for you to taste!"

"No, no, I'll just go back and eat. I just came here to tell you. I'll bring Chunzhi, Haifei and the others over in a little while."

Seeing that Zhang Zhiyong really didn't want to stay, Jian Xiu didn't make things difficult for him.

He casually picked up a few bamboo shoots that had just been boiled in water from the pot and put them in the basket. Then he handed it to Zhang Zhiyong and said:

"This bamboo shoot is delicious. I've eaten it before. Take it home and soak it in clean water for a while. It will be even more delicious after the astringency is removed. Listen to my sister-in-law and take it back to taste it!"

"Then thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Go ahead, come over early this afternoon."

Because there was nothing to eat, no one had eaten breakfast, and the family had a lot of work to do, so Jian Xiu also made white rice.

Not only that, she also ordered a large piece of meat fried with bamboo shoots.

It’s a pity that there is no soy sauce or oyster sauce here, otherwise, the taste would be better.

It was not until the dish was served and everyone tasted it that they realized that bamboo shoots were indeed a good thing.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food before."

"Sixth brother, after dinner, let's go pick some more. Mom said that after these are dried, they can be kept for two or three years."

"Let's go, of course we'll go. We can then take them to the market to sell them," Liu Tou said excitedly.

Not to mention the two brothers, even Zhang Zixuan himself thought it was delicious.

He grew up as a farmer in this village, and he didn't even know that bamboo shoots tasted so good.

Looking at the woman sitting opposite him, she was also eating happily.

Apparently, she loves eating this, too.

"You guys can go pick them later. I'll just boil the bamboo shoots in water at home. Then we can sell them at the market and exchange them for rice."

Zhang Zixuan discussed with Jian Xiu while eating.

"Well, I plan to make some dishes and take them directly to the restaurant. This way I don't have to waste time standing in the market for a whole day, which is a waste of time." Jian Xiu said casually.

This is a very normal thing for her.

You know, in addition to earning money to fill her stomach, she also needs to earn enough money to send her two brothers to the academy.

Most importantly, she still has to find points.

We can't let Zhang Zixuan sit in this wheelchair for the rest of his life, right?

Coco also said that the points found in the depths are definitely much more than those found at this foot.

Although 880,000 is a lot, it adds up to a lot, not to mention that it's 20% off.

After the discount, it was only 740,000 yuan, which was a reduction of more than 100,000 yuan.

With this calculation, we are one step closer to our goal.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"What did you think of?" Jian Xiu asked in confusion.

"Just sell these bamboo shoots directly to restaurants."

"Do you have any ideas?" Jian Xiu asked curiously.

She knew Zhang Zixuan, and seeing his expression she knew that he had something in mind.

"Does Yuexianglou know?"

"I've heard of it!" Jian Xiu said truthfully.

"I have some friendship with Manager Wu of Yuexiang Tower." Zhang Zixuan said truthfully.

"Really?" Jian Xiu asked excitedly.

How could she not be excited? You know, if you don’t have any connections, how can people easily try new food?

"Of course it's true."

"Great! This way, we are one step closer to our goal."

"Goal? What is your goal?" Zhang Zixuan asked curiously.

"Six and seven, of course. I want to send them to college after I earn enough money."

"To the academy?"

"Well, I know that you may think I am talking nonsense when I say this, but I just want to tell you that I am not just talking casually, I am serious."

"I know you are serious, but do you know how much money it costs to send a child to college?" Zhang Zixuan asked softly.

They had no land, let alone a stable income, and considering their situation, it was not easy for them to raise their children safely and help them get married and have children.

"Don't worry about the money, I'll find a way!"

"Xiu'er, I don't want you to be so tired! I don't want you to live under such great pressure. I hope you can relax a little, do you understand?"

"Take Datou for example. The whole old house relies on him to study in the academy, but even so, he feels a bit tired, let alone our situation?"

Zhang Zixuan said with great pain.

"You don't believe me?" Jian Xiu raised his eyebrows and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Zixuan was stunned. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.

He wanted to say that he was truly skeptical.

But when he saw Jian Xiu, who was calm and composed, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She didn't know since when, but anything that happened in this family seemed to be no longer a problem for her.

There was always a stubbornness and confidence in her, a feeling that even he couldn't explain.

"It's okay if you don't believe me. I will prove it to you."

After dinner, Jian Xiu picked up the pig offal she brought yesterday and started to clean it up.

"Xiu'er, let's throw away this pig offal!" Zhang Zixuan said.

"No? This is good stuff!"

"That thing has too strong a smell! It would be a waste of oil and salt if I cook it."

"That's because you don't know how to make it. Just wait, after I make it, I guarantee you'll be reluctant to leave after eating it."

Hearing this, Zhang Zixuan just shook his head helplessly.

He slid his wheelchair again to peel the bamboo shoots.

Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei came in just after the pigs were washed.

Following behind the two of them was Zhang Zhiyong’s wife Huang Chunzhi, and of course Zhang Haifei’s wife Lin Xia.

Several of them carried a backpack on their backs. It was obvious that they knew that there was no other backpack in their yard except the big one.
