80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

 Chapter 43, sending plums

“Grandma, let’s go back to eat. We will catch the chickens and plant some vegetables. Then we will sell vegetables.” Since grandma felt sad when she mentioned the mountain, she just didn’t ask.

 “Good boy.” Grandma He patted Mei Xue’s hand and followed her into the house.

 After breakfast, Grandma He put on her **** and walked into the fields.

Mei Xue saw that her grandma's face had lost its usual smile, so she didn't ask much and followed behind her. She just hoped that her grandma would be happy soon.

On this day, the two of them joined forces and opened a two-part vegetable field on the mountain.

“Xiaoxue, stop digging, let’s go home.” Grandma He beat her sore waist and shouted to Xiaoxue who was still digging there.

 “Let’s go home for dinner. It’s noon.”

Meixue looked up at the sky. The sun was already high in the sky. The horse-drawn carriages collecting wood by the creek have long since disappeared.

After returning home, Grandma He drank two large glasses of water before she recovered. "Xiaoxue, there is a big gathering the day after tomorrow. Let's go to the street with grandma to buy some seeds." She doesn't grow many vegetables, and some seeds certainly don't know how to grow them. too much.

Just like Xiaoxue said, if you don’t have wood to sell, you can grow vegetables. Selling vegetables is much easier than cutting wood.

"Okay, I'll go with grandma." Mei Xue was still very concerned about buying seeds.

 Because she has space and water, she can grow vegetables no matter what season she wants. Not to mention selling summer vegetables in the middle of winter, even selling fresh fruits is a piece of cake.

It’s a pity that Mei Xue doesn’t have that much energy to do it for the time being, and she doesn’t dare to do it.

Of course Grandma He is willing for Xiaoxue to go with her. She works at home every day, so Xiaoxue should have a free day.

 “Okay, let’s go together.”

Since the two of them have opened two large plots of land again, Grandma He plans to buy more this time to buy vegetables.

 Ask the people in the village why you might as well spend a few cents yourself, and what you buy is better than what you want.

On the day of the big market, Mei Xue followed her grandma to the market to see if there were any vegetable seeds. Generally, there are two types of vegetables to buy, one is sold by the villagers themselves.

The other option is to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy. Mei Xue didn't understand this. After seeing that her grandma couldn't find satisfactory vegetable seeds after searching all morning, Mei Xue couldn't help but ask.

“Grandma, is this the only place where vegetables are sold?” Mei Xue was afraid that her grandma would be exposed to the sun, so she pulled her to stand under the eaves. Seeing her grandma sweating profusely, Mei Xue felt very distressed.

Grandma He wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, "They are also sold in the supply and marketing cooperative." She replied casually.

As soon as Mei Xue heard this, she dragged her grandma to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There are a wide variety of vegetables inside. Not only that, but there are also many varieties that people in the village have never grown.

Mei Xue was thinking about selling vegetables. After communicating with the salesperson, Mei Xue bought many kinds of vegetables that were not grown in the village.

Grandma He didn’t agree. She felt that these vegetables might not be viable for growing, but she couldn’t resist Mei Xue, and in the end they bought everything they needed.

On the way back, Grandma He looked distressed. She didn't expect to spend several yuan to buy some vegetables. How many vegetables would it take to sell them back?

Meixue is not as worried as her grandma. She is thinking about cultivating more vegetable plots.

 After returning home, Mei Xue asked about the vegetable field, "Grandma, does the area around that vegetable field belong to us?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma He nodded, "Well, it's ours, what's wrong?" That mountain belongs to the village, and whoever carves out the land belongs to whom.

“I also want to open a few more vegetable plots. With so many seeds, our land is not enough.” Mei Xue said with a slight smile.

"You, don't be greedy. You may not be able to sell these vegetables after you grow them. Also, grandma has never grown these vegetables before, so I don't know how to take care of them." Grandma He is not afraid of contributing, but she is afraid that Xiaoxue will feel disappointed.

“It’s okay, let’s learn if we don’t know how. It doesn’t cost much anyway, and it’s just a matter of effort. Grandma, you will work hard from now on and cook at home while I go to open a field.” Mei Xue said with the momentum of the head of the family.

Grandma He wanted to go and help, but after seeing Xiaoxue's willingness, she nodded obediently, "Okay, grandma listen to Xiaoxue."

After things were arranged, Mei Xue started to clear the land that afternoon. After all, it was a mountain. If she wanted to turn it into a vegetable field, she had to dig with a hoe.

 No matter what the people in the village were like, Mei Xue and Grandma He lived a very quiet and peaceful life.

 In about four or five days, Mei Xue had almost planted two acres of vegetable land.

 Also used up all the water in grandma’s reservoir.

“Grandma, the ground has been dug. It hasn’t rained these days and the water on it has dried up. I will go fetch water tomorrow.” When she got home, Mei Xue ate the rice cooked by her grandma. It was delicious.

“Sure, grandma will be with you tomorrow. Grandma can still do the work of carrying water.” Grandma He said with a distressed look on her face.

"No, I'm very strong and can pick it up quickly. I can pick it up in the afternoon." Mei Xue said nonchalantly.

These days, the plums on the mountain are all ripe. Under the supervision of his mother, An Liang selected several large and sweet plum trees. It was a good time for picking. An Liang spent a day picking plums.

“Third grandma, third grandma.” At noon, there were too many plums, so An Liang had to send them back first.

Carrying a load of plums, An Liang ran directly to his third grandma’s house.

These days, Grandma He has been thinking of ways to make delicious food for Xiaoxue. She is thinking about how to feed Xiaoxue at home every day. As soon as she hears the sound, she runs out of the kitchen.

 “What are you doing, An Liang?” Grandma He still had a knife in her hand, and she was chopping vegetables.

“Third Grandma, what are you doing with the knife?” An Liang took a step back in fear.

Seeing him like this, the third grandma cursed and put the knife in the kitchen.

“Come in, what are you doing?” Of course Grandma He saw the plums An Liang picked.

An Liang went to the well first, drank water for a long time, and then replied to the third grandmother, "My mother said that my sister-in-law wants to eat plums. No, I found some big and sweet plums on the mountain. I gave them to my sister-in-law." Here comes the plums."

Hearing An Liang's words, Grandma He smiled, "Your mother is really interested. Okay, Grandma San has accepted this plum. Have you eaten yet?" She likes Xiaoxue, and she likes others to like Xiaoxue even more.

 She likes everyone who is good to Xiaoxue.

“Not yet, I’m just coming back and will go back to eat in a while.” An Liang replied smoothly without thinking too much.

"What are you going to eat when you go back? Eat here. Third grandma made delicious food today. You can eat more later." Grandma He smiled.

An Liang was a little embarrassed and touched his head. He really wanted to eat here, but if he really ate here, his mother would definitely scold him.

Grandma He is a good person. She can tell what An Liang is thinking at a glance, "It's okay. I'll tell your mother later that there are too many plums. You can help Third Grandma wash and dry the plums." "
