90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 63: Protection

Unexpectedly.

 The situation on Xiao Zhihai's side is roughly the same as that of Li Shuixian. He has just reached an agreement on the acquisition with the villagers.

With one word from Xiao Cheng, he was able to overturn the situation.

 After hearing this, everyone toasted to Xiao Cheng, and no one cared about him, let alone talking about business.

Even the good cigarettes he distributed before were used to honor Xiao Cheng, but Xiao Cheng still looked down upon him and put the cigarette in his ear.

 I don’t even light the matches when others offer them to me.

Xiao Zhihai knew that there was no hope for the people at this table, so he could only wait until after the meal to find other people to buy chestnuts.

The acquisition conditions had to be closer to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu. They also wanted to take away all the goods just by paying a deposit. It was impossible. None of the villagers would agree.

 After the meal, the chestnuts in Xiaojiacun all had their own homes.

The chestnuts Xiao Zhihai and Li Shuixian purchased were all bought from villagers of the Xiao family who had been to the town market in recent years and had some connections and relatives with them. The quantity was very different from that of Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

The Xiao family in Longcheng heard the news from somewhere and secretly purchased a lot.

  Moreover, the full payment was given. They came to buy goods after the Qingming Festival, and many villagers of the Xiao family sold to them.

 But they had never made sugar-roasted chestnuts, did not master the core technology, and were worried about losing money, so they only paid part of the full price.

 For the rest, you pay a deposit first, order the goods, and then pick up the goods later and make the final payment.

Under the guidance of their grandparents, Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu met with many elders from the clan, and each family had at least tens of thousands of kilograms of chestnuts, all of which were reserved for them.

Grandpa and grandma’s prestige and status in the clan were guaranteed, and some elders also agreed that the deposit could be paid later, and the chestnuts would always be kept for Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

 Just settle the payment in one go when you come to buy goods.

 The collective purchase of chestnuts was such a big move. Naturally, the Xiao family who came back from Nanshi also heard about it.

 But they look down on this kind of small street business. They think it has limited sales, average prospects, and no technical content. It will soon be copied by the market and is not worth investing in.

 Only large projects in the city are worthy of their investment. They have broad development prospects, a promising future, and guaranteed profits.

　　After all the matters were settled, the rest time after dinner was over, and it was time to go up the mountain to pay homage to another ancestral tomb.

Bai Lu’s foot injury was not healed, Xiao Cheng refused to let her go up the mountain, and even kept Xiao Wei behind.

 Happily known as protecting her belly.

After the chestnuts of Grandpa, after clearing the tomb, Xiao Cheng will come to receive the goods and pay the rice pig cubs.

Possibly because the piglets were soon to be raised, grandpa was so happy that his rheumatic legs no longer hurt, and he walked very smoothly. In the afternoon, he and grandma went up the mountain to worship ancestors.

  Stop by where there is pigweed, wait for the piglet to come back, and then go up the mountain to cut the pigweed and feed it to the piglet.

Bai Lu, Xiao Wei, Li Hongying and several Xiao family housewives carried large vegetable baskets and went to wash vegetables by the river at the foot of the mountain.

Li Hongying also went to worship ancestors on the mountain in the morning, but did not go in the afternoon, leaving some people in Zhang Luo to prepare dinner.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and it takes a long time to go back to the town, city, or city. Dinner must be prepared early. After everyone returns from ancestor worship, they can finish the meal early and start the journey.

Try to get on the main highway before dark, otherwise the road will be slippery due to rain, and the mountain road has no guardrails, making driving very dangerous.

Li Hongying and the housewives of the Xiao family washed Chinese cabbage, lettuce, celery and large white radish.

Bai Lu was washing the garlic sprouts, and Xiao Wei, who was squatting next to her, was holding a knife and helping to peel the roots of the garlic sprouts.

The aunt next to her praised Xiao Wei for his diligence: "You are so capable at such a young age. Our little monkey will run all over the mountains like a wild horse during the holidays. Knowing that everyone will come back to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival, she was so excited that she slept all night." No, I came to the square early this morning to gather with the hoe. "" He ran too fast down the mountain and accidentally fell. Both knees were scraped. He was not allowed to go up the mountain in the afternoon, so he couldn't rest. I have to go to the orchards on the other side of the river to pick plums and green dates. "

"Why don't you go pick fruits together?" The aunt asked her son to call Xiao Wei, but Xiao Wei didn't go.

Xiao Wei has the same temperament as Xiao Cheng. He is taciturn and seldom communicates with his neighbors. His aunt's long talk only got him four words: "I don't like to eat."

“I don’t like plums and green dates, but there are also mulberries over there. The mulberries are very sweet and delicious.”

Li Hongying pointed to the upper right side of the river and said: "There is a small wooden bridge over there. It is very close to the other side when you walk across it."

Xiao Wei, who lowered his head to peel the roots of garlic sprouts, still answered in the same four words: "I don't like eating it."

Good intentions were repeatedly rejected, and Li Hongying and her aunts were a little embarrassed. They felt that maybe the fruits in the countryside were not as good as those in the town, and they were disliked by Xiao Wei.

 Haven’t spoken for a while.

Bai Lu washed the garlic sprouts and gave them to Xiao Wei, and explained with a smile: "Xiao Wei's personality is the same as Xiao Cheng's. He doesn't like to talk. He doesn't talk about what he likes to eat. I usually buy it and put it on the table. He likes to eat whatever he likes. help yourself."

“He and Xiao Cheng rarely chat with others. They usually have nothing to say to me. When they come back from school, they go back to the room to do homework and rarely go out to play with others.”

 Turns out it’s due to personality, not dislike.

Li Hongying and her aunts were immediately relieved, smiles appeared on their faces again, and they continued to talk and laugh.

It feels much more natural to talk to Bai Lu.

They all felt that as a boss who went to the countryside to buy chestnuts, not only did she not have any condescending attitude, she was also very good-tempered and good at talking.

Unlike the boss who collected star anise from the mountains in the past, he was arrogant and rude, throwing the star anise around while picking, always saying this was bad and that was bad, and asking everyone to share the toll when leaving.

When Li Shuixian laid out the acquisition conditions, his tone was full of charity, disgust, and condescension.

It’s not that they don’t understand, it’s just that in order to survive, they have to swallow their sadness and flatter them.

 Fortunately, the elders in their family all reserved chestnuts for Bai Lu in the end, and everyone was happy.

Li Hongying’s family also has tens of thousands of kilograms of chestnuts, but Xiao Guofu lingers on and never makes a decision.

 Also talk about being in a dilemma.

Li Hongying was too lazy to intervene, but now she changed her mind. She wanted to sell the chestnuts to Bai Lu.

If Xiao Guofu disagrees, let him talk to his grandpa, who will teach him how to behave.

Chinese cabbage, lettuce and radishes are easy to wash, and they were washed quickly because of the crowd. Li Hongying said to Bai Lu: "This little green vegetable may not be enough. The cabbage hearts in the vegetable field can be picked. Let's go pick some and bring them back. You can wash them first. If there are any, Call me if you need anything, the vegetable field is not far away, I can hear you."

Bai Lu said hello.

Li Hongying and her aunts walked upstream. Her vegetable field was upstream, separated by layers of ridges.

 It is not very high and you can see it when you stand up.

"What's this?"

 Xiao Wei stared at the little thing crawling slowly in the river, showing curiosity for the first time, and asked Bai Lu.

He saw it when he came and thought it was a small stone. However, after peeling the garlic for a while, the position of the small stone became farther away. It was obvious that it could move and was not a small stone.

 Just climb very slowly.
