80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 94, Help

“Hey, Xiaoxue is busy right now.” Boss Zhao was a little excited when he saw the vegetable patch here.

It’s just that the number of samples is small. If they were complete, it would be great to have them all in Zeyang’s store.

 What a pity, what a pity.

“Well, pull the grass from the vegetable field.” Mei Xue raised her hand. She still had a handful of grass in her hand. She took these tender grass back to feed the chickens at home.

 In the past, pigs were also eaten, but now that the pigs are sold, chickens are eaten.

Qian Zeyang finally came over and said, "Grandma He, your legs are really good." He was panting and sweating.

When Boss Zhao saw his son coming, he immediately introduced him to Mei Xue, "Xiaoxue, this is my eldest son, Qian Zeyang. You can just call him Brother Qian. He is older than you." Boss Zhao did not regard himself as an outsider at all.

Mei Xue glanced at Qian Zeyang. He didn't look much like his father, but he had the same outline, straight eyes, and some business tact.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the character is not bad, “Brother Qian.” Mei Xue curled her lips and called.

Boss Zhao knew Mei Xue’s temperament and saw that she didn’t say much and didn’t think much, “By the way, Xiaoxue, is your food ready?”

When Mei Xue saw him asking about vegetables, she immediately led him towards water spinach and celery, "They are the only ones that can be eaten now, the others may have to wait until the end of the month."

　　When they saw water spinach and celery, they were all shocked, "They look so good?" They were so juicy.

 “Well, I take good care of them, so they grow well.” Mei Xue was not polite. The vegetables she grew were good and she could praise them.

“I want all these dishes, can I take them away today?” Qian Zeyang was excited.

Meixue glanced at him and saw that he was eating water spinach leaves and celery leaves, and thought he was a bit silly.

 Does it taste good raw?

 “Yes, but you have to wait a while, they haven’t been picked yet.” At least it’s noon.

Grandma He looked at her vegetable patch. If Xiaoxue was alone, she would have to work until noon at least. "It's okay, grandma will help you pick it together." Grandma He said with a smile.

"Grandma, I can do it by myself. You can go back and make lunch. Uncle Zhao and the others rarely come here once, so they have to have lunch at home." Mei Xue was not willing to let her grandmother suffer this hardship.

"But how can you pick it all by yourself?" Grandma He's eyes were darting, reminding Mei Xue of something.

Mei Xue was happy when she saw her grandma like this, "If Uncle Zhao helps me, I might be able to finish picking it before noon." Mei Xue immediately understood what her grandma meant.

Seeing that Xiaoxue understood what she meant, Grandma He was very happy: "Yes, Boss Zhao, how about you guys help here and I go back to cook for you?" Turning around, Grandma He said to the two Boss Zhaos.

Boss Zhao only really understood today what it means to become more mature with age.

“Then I’ll bother you, auntie. Zeyang and I will help Mei Xue pick vegetables together.” Can you disagree?

Qian Ze was so young that he didn't think much about it. He had never done this job before, but he wouldn't do it if he were to leave now.

“Well, you can just pick vegetables here, and I’ll go back first.” Grandma He said happily when she saw the others agreed.

Seeing that her grandma was about to leave, Mei Xue immediately pulled her up and said, "Grandma, please bring some vegetables back later. There is no Qingkong at home." After saying that, Mei Xue knelt down, picked them and handed them to her grandma.

I also picked some peppers and eggplants, but there aren’t many left. Let’s pick them up.

Last time I picked a lot of chili peppers to make chili sauce. Grandma said the remaining ones would be used to dry them into dried chili peppers, so they have been growing here.

 Fortunately, it doesn’t take up much space.

 Grandma He went down the mountain with a few dishes.

Meixue brought some dry straw from the ground and said, "Uncle Zhao, let's pick it."

Boss Zhao and Qian Zeyang had never done such a job before. They followed Mei Xue and learned little by little. After they finally got comfortable with it, their movements became faster.

Qian Zeyang was just a little bit worse. He didn't say the vegetables he picked were good, and he also brought some old leaves in. Mei Xue couldn't stand it, so she asked him to bundle the vegetables aside.

 After being bundled, they were carried down the mountain in a basket.

After picking the vegetables, they were put through water in a bucket so that they would not be exposed to the sun. It was not until noon when Grandma He came up to ask everyone to go down the mountain to eat that the three of them finished picking the water spinach and celery and tied them up.

“Put it here, I’ll go up the mountain to pick it up later.” After finishing the work, Mei Xue asked them to go down the mountain together: “Let’s go back and eat.”

Looking at the bundles of vegetables, Grandma He had a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Boss Zhao. Let's go back and have a good meal." Grandma He made a lot of delicious food at noon today.

 There are fish, meat and vegetables from their own fields.

Boss Zhao hit his waist and stood up: "I haven't been active for a long time, and this work is really too much." He looked at Mei Xue with admiration.

 “It’s good to be young.”

Qian Zeyang is not doing well either. After squatting all afternoon, his legs are numb.

"It's okay. Just eat more in a while and rest before leaving. It's okay." Grandma He answered.

The four of them went down the mountain and returned home. Grandma He gave the two of them a new towel and asked them to wash their faces.

 The two of you are not polite. They are really tired and need to wash their faces and take a rest.

People who have never done farm work are not used to this long pause and bending at first.

Meixue was not in a hurry to wash her face. She found the basket and planned to go to the mountain to pick out the vegetables and put them there to dry for a while, but she was afraid that the vegetables would become wilted.

"Xiaoxue still wants to go up the mountain?" Boss Zhao asked after seeing Xiaoxue's movements.

"Well, I have to pick out the vegetables. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them after you take them back." She also had to add spiritual spring water to nourish them.

“Oh, oh, okay, I’ll go with you.” Boss Zhao handed the towel to Qian Zeyang and said.

Mei Xue shook her head, "No, just rest at home for a while. The food isn't heavy." The food wasn't much, about sixty or seventy pounds.

 She was still able to pick it out.

Grandma He also knew that he had been tortured severely today, and she did not agree with him going up the mountain. "Just get out of the way and sit down and rest. Xiaoxue can do the picking alone."

Hearing Aunt He’s words, Boss Zhao couldn’t force it anymore, “That’s alright, thank you for your hard work Xiaoxue.”

Mei Xue shook her head, "It's okay, you paid me." But no, the boss who bought the vegetables went to pick the vegetables himself. I'm afraid it was the first time.

"Haha, it's okay." Boss Zhao waved his hand quickly, "Just experience life."

 After the food was served, Mei Xue didn't wait long before picking out all the vegetables.

Mei Xue directly picked it up to the well behind the house, diluted some spiritual spring water and poured it on it. Finally, the vegetables were revived and they no longer looked so wilted.

 During lunch, Qian Zeyang personally discussed the price of the dishes with Mei Xue.

The price he gave was indeed higher than the price they would have sold at the market, but Qian Zeyang also had conditions. In the future, their vegetables could only be sold to him.
