"Actually, 20,000 yuan is not much. In the city, the price of a meal or a piece of clothing for some people may be more than this amount. Besides, more than 20,000 yuan may not even cover a toilet or a large piece of land with a kang in the city."

You can't even buy one. If you can buy a yard as big as ours for several million in the city, wouldn't we be very wealthy?" Zhang Taiping said with a hint of emotion and a joke.

At this moment, Cai Yazhi's mood became slightly calmer. She carefully placed the box in Zhang Taiping's hand as if holding a treasure, and ran away quickly.

He came back after a while, holding the wooden box given by his grandfather. He handed it to Zhang Taiping, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Zhang Taiping returned the box and said: "These are gifts from grandpa. They show the old man's concern for his grandson. He is not desperate. It would be too much to sell all these. You should keep it and drink it."

.”

Cai Yazhi blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, and never mentioned the matter again.

But Zhang Taiping estimates that she will never drink it in the future. After all, this saffron is too valuable and precious. Rural people sometimes feel that spending a few more yuan is a luxury, and drinks like this often cost dozens of yuan.

Yes, it is definitely a luxury among luxuries. Any rural person will choose to stay instead of wasting it.

After a while, Cai Yazhi raised her head and asked.

Where was this picked?

Zhang Taiping replied casually: "On Camel Ridge."

Cai Yazhi's eyes brightened after hearing this, and she tightened the box in her hand unconsciously.

Zhang Taiping caught a glimpse of his wife's gleaming eyes and body reactions, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly said in a solemn voice.

"You don't want to go into the mountains alone. The wild boars are coming down the mountain just as the corn is ripe. If you meet them alone, you won't be able to run away."

After he finished speaking, he looked worried and said: "After passing Luotuo Ridge, we enter the mountains. There are often wild beasts in the mountains, such as coyotes and bears. What should you do if you encounter them?"

Cai Yazhi looked at Zhang Taiping, an inexplicable look flashed across her face, and she nodded lightly.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Taiping left, Cai Yazhi hesitantly opened her mouth to say something but said nothing.

After Zhang Taiping saw it, he took the initiative to ask: "Is there anything else?"

Cai Yazhi felt coy for a while and then said with embarrassment that she wanted Zhang Taiping to bring some osmanthus cakes to her sister Cai Xiaomei.

Zhang Taiping suddenly understood after hearing this, and then he had some feelings. The sisters have been dependent on each other for so many years. Without the support of their elders and relatives, they have to deal with everything by themselves and earn all the sources of life by themselves.

In fact, Dashuai Zhang's situation is similar to that of the two sisters, except that Dashuai Zhang is a male after all, and has a natural advantage in making money. Moreover, during the years when Dashuai Zhang has been fooling around outside, no matter what he does, someone will take care of him, let alone say yes.

Even if it’s bad, you won’t be hungry at the worst.

But the two sisters are different, and their life is much more difficult. In the past, they had to work hard, and they needed education. The elder was not as young as the younger, and they did not dare to go out to make a living. They could only rely on collecting mountain products or herbs.

To make ends meet. Sometimes they are almost out of food and oil. They can barely survive with the help of the villagers and Grandpa Zhang Taiping.

Children from poor families become parents early. After the first two years, even girls aged 17 or 18 can carry a hoe to the fields and plant some crops through hard work without going hungry again.

Cai Yazhi has always taken care of her sister like a mother. No matter what delicious food she has, she will always leave it to Cai Xiaomei. Now that she is married into the Zhang family, she still thinks about her sister and wants to leave a share of all good things for her.

, I felt it was hard to speak, and I was hesitant and embarrassed to say it.

Fortunately, Zhang Taiping asked such a question, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have expressed it in the end.

After seeing Zhang Taiping's promise, he immediately turned around and went into the house to bring out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in lotus leaves. The outside of the lotus leaves was wrapped with hemp silk into a cross shape and tied with a buckle so that it could be carried by hand. It must have been too early to take it out so quickly.

It has been wrapped, but I was too shy to take it out. Now I can take it out quickly with Zhang Taiping’s approval.

Zhang Taiping looked at the package made of lotus leaves. It was square and quite delicate and elegant. The osmanthus cake and the lotus leaves complemented each other perfectly. It not only prevented the aroma of the osmanthus cake from leaking out, but also brought a scent when eating.

Thin lotus fragrance.

In rural areas, there are not many people wrapping things like this. In fact, it is not that they are very elegant, but they just don’t have the plastic bags that can be seen everywhere in the city, and they can’t find good paper for a while, so they come up with this "bad idea", which actually makes the parcels useless.

It shows more thoughtfulness and elegance. It has nothing to do with the material, only the ingenuity.

Zhang Taiping took two steps with his things and then turned around worriedly and said, "It's best not to go into the mountains alone, do you hear me?"

Seeing Cai Yazhi nodded again before leaving with peace of mind.

We agreed with the village chief yesterday afternoon that Wang Gui's motorcycle tricycle would arrive in the town first this morning.

I got up early, and it was only eight o'clock when we arrived in the town. Wang Gui went to deliver mushrooms, and Zhang Taiping came to the station alone. There happened to be a bus bound for the south passenger station.

Cai Xiaomei's school is in the University Park in Weiyang District, the northern suburbs of Xi'an City, outside the North Third Ring Road. Starting from the south, it would cut through the entire city of Xi'an. It would be great if there was a subway. It probably only takes half an hour to get there. Take the ride now

The bus has to go through the city, and it takes two hours even if it's not peak traffic in the morning.

The main purpose today is to sell medicine and visit the Huafen Tree Market. Most of these places are concentrated in the south of the city or simply in the southern suburbs.

Returning after delivering the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is equivalent to driving back and forth across the city, which only adds two or three hours to the cost. Cai Yazhi did not know this. However, Zhang Taiping still did not refuse his wife's request. He did not want to spend more time in the gradually built building.

Another problem in the relationship.

Zhang Taiping got off the bus from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Xi'an has developed rapidly in recent years and gradually developed into a modern metropolis. However, while developing, Xi'an has been able to use modern architectural standards to reflect the majesty of the ancient imperial capital. It is a combination of classical architecture and

A city with the most perfect blend of modern flavor.

People come and go in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, and foreigners who come to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda can be seen everywhere.

Zhang Taiping walked through the square without stopping, and went straight to the stop sign next to the North Square to catch a bus to the northern suburbs. There were several bus stops along the way, and subway passages under construction could be seen everywhere.

It can connect the north and the south in a year.

After many detours, it was already past ten o'clock when we arrived at school.

Zhang Taiping didn't know how to find Cai Xiaomei. He only knew which college she was in. He didn't have a mobile phone, so he didn't know how to contact her.

It really posed a problem for me, Zhang Taiping thought.

After standing at the school gate for a while, I didn't encounter anyone by chance, but I received many curious looks. When I came to the living area downstairs of their dormitory, I didn't know the specific room number, and the building manager's aunt couldn't call her.

He had no choice but to stand at the door of the dormitory. The girls downstairs received more surprised and weird looks. Some girls even took out their mobile phones to take photos. Zhang Taiping couldn't stop him, so he could only stand at the door and let everyone point at him.

I remained unmoved.

In fact, it didn't take long, but Zhang Taiping was living like a year. Cai Xiaomei saw a big man standing at the door of the dormitory from a distance. She thought it was his boyfriend, so she didn't pay attention. When she got closer, she saw that it was Zhang Taiping and was very surprised.

.

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

Zhang Taiping breathed a sigh of relief and stood at the door of the girls' building. Although he looked calm and calm on the outside, he was really embarrassed in his heart and felt quite uncomfortable under the scrutiny of a group of girls.

"I'm bringing you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming in the yard. I made some cakes last night and they were pretty good."

"My boyfriend? He's so considerate and feels safe. You've earned it." As soon as Cai Xiaomei took the lotus leaf package, the girl who came back with her lay next to her ear and whispered in a low voice.

"What a nympho! Are you talking nonsense? He is my brother-in-law." Cai Xiaomei hit the girl next to her and explained angrily.

Although the voices of the two girls were deliberately kept low, Zhang Taiping's hearing is still as clear as if it were in his ears. Listening to the jokes between the two girls, it seems that the two girls have a good relationship, but Zhang Taiping really doesn't like it.

What could he say? He pretended not to hear. After waiting for a moment, he continued.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Yeah" Cai Xiaomei just nodded lightly.

Zhang Taiping turned around and left quickly. Cai Xiaomei was originally a beauty of the courtyard's beauty level, but she had never had much interaction with that boy. Now she actually accepted something from a man at the door of the dormitory, which had attracted a lot of people.

People were watching. Although I didn’t care what others thought, it still felt quite unpleasant to be watched like a gorilla.

Cai Xiaomei is truly strong-willed and doesn't care about the weird looks around her. She looked at Zhang Taiping's back with some confusion. It was the first time for the bride to get on the sedan chair with something from home. This must be her sister's wish, but she has always hated it.

It's a bit strange that such a disgusting man would agree to deliver it.

"Are you touched? Well, they say that my sister-in-law is half-lover of my brother-in-law, and she will fall in love over time." The girl next to her, who was burning with gossip, said in a serious manner while looking at the entranced Miss Cai.

"Looking for death, right?" Cai Xiaomei turned her head and said viciously.

Then the two girls chased each other into the dormitory building.

Zhang Taiping heard this sentence from a distance, smiled and didn't take it to heart. He could only sigh that girls nowadays are really open to joking among themselves.

Generally speaking, children from poor families either have low self-esteem or have very strong self-esteem. A girl like Cai Xiaomei who is not blinded by vanity and can also make jokes with her classmates and friends that are technically excessive but harmless, is not a girl like her.

too much.
