At first, Hu Mingchen's family could barely cope with only three people asking for help. However, as more and more people dig ginger, more and more people bring ginger to his house to sell. Hu Mingchen's family produces ginger every day.

The purchase volume has increased from 500 jins to 800 to 900 jins per day.

At this time, the three of them had to clean all the ginger in one day, and they were really busy.

Fortunately, Hu Mingchen's fair distribution of coal when he was carrying coal earned him some reputation. He didn't have to ask for help as someone would come to ask for help.

Rural people are not as strict in their work as factories in the city. Long Cui'e and the three of them washed ginger, chatting and bragging while doing so, working and communicating at the same time.

Hu Mingchen's house is busy with work, and there are many people visiting his house every day. Some of these people are just curious, some are watching the fun, and some are inquiring to understand the situation.

Not to mention those who live nearby, even those who come to sell ginger, after collecting money, when Hu Jianjun hands out a cigarette or Jiang Yucai brings a glass of water, many people will stay and chat before leaving.

In this kind of back and forth, others will know very well the employment situation and work progress of Hu Mingchen's family.

For example, Miao Guilan, the daughter-in-law of the Tang family who lives behind Hu Mingchen's house, visited Hu Mingchen's house for several days in a row. When she saw that Hu Mingchen's house had too much ginger to wash, she took the initiative and half-joked: "Yucai, there are more and more gingers in your house.

If you can’t finish washing it, why don’t you ask me to help you wash it again?”

"Sister-in-law, of course that's great. I really want it. I'm so grateful for you. But I don't have a big basin at home. Sister-in-law, do you have a big basin at home?" Jiang Yucai was naturally very happy if others were willing to take the initiative.

There were more and more gingers piled there, and Jiang Yucai was also anxious, but her personality made her a little proactive and unable to speak.

"Yes, of course there is. I'll go get it and be back soon." Miao Guilan was very enthusiastic. After saying that, she immediately got up and returned home to carry the big basin.

Miao Guilan could only earn a few dollars every day while working here and talking with several women in the village, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.

Miao Guilan's family has a large aluminum basin, weighing about twenty kilograms. It was a gift from her descendants a few years ago when her family got rich.

Miao Guilan walked down from her house to Hu Mingchen's house with such a big basin on her shoulders. At the intersection, she met Zhong Ying who was also coming to visit.

During this time, Zhong Ying would go to Hu Mingchen's house whenever she had something to do. She didn't really care about Hu Mingchen's family's career. The key was that it was lively here, and Zhong Ying was a person who liked to join in the fun.

In Hu Mingchen's courtyard, not only can she chat with people in the village, but she also knows many people from other villages who come to sell ginger. She can also chat with those people to understand their situation, or listen to some other information.

Village gossip.

"Guilan, what are you doing? Does his family want to borrow a pot from yours?" Zhong Ying asked curiously as Miao Guilan came down from the big pot.

"Auntie, no, his family asked me to help wash the ginger, but they didn't have a basin, so I brought my own basin." Miao Guilan said with a smile.

It was clearly her initiative just now, but now when she turned around and met Zhong Ying, it became that she, Miao Guilan, was invited.

"His family has invited three people, why can't they come over?" Zhong Ying asked with a frown.

"There are so many people selling ginger today, so of course we can't wash it. If we don't wash it out quickly, how can we bake it? If the ginger is left out for a long time and then we wash it and bake it, it won't be good."

Just as Miao Guilan finished speaking, she met a middle-aged man walking from Hu Mingchen's house holding an empty fertilizer bag.

"Er Zhuang, who are you?" Zhong Ying knew this man from Wenshan Village, so he simply ignored Miao Guilan's words and turned around to greet the middle-aged man.

"Oh, Ma'am, I dug some ginger. I heard that your family harvests ginger, so I simply gave up and went to the street to sell it at your house." This middle-aged man named Er Zhuang originally said

While counting the money, he heard Zhong Ying greeting him and quickly stuffed the few dollars into the small money pocket near the zipper of his pants.

Erzhuang didn't know the relationship between Zhong Ying and Hu Mingchen's family. He only knew that Hu Jianjun was Zhong Ying's son, so selling it to Hu Jianjun was equivalent to selling it to Zhong Ying's family.

"Oh, Erzhuang, do you still have some untapped ginger at home? If so, go dig it up and sell it here, so as not to have to work hard to get it on the street, and the price is not so good." Zhong Ying suddenly said.

As if this business belongs to her family, she encouraged her enthusiastically.

"Honey, there are still a hundred kilograms of ginger that I haven't dug yet. I will dig it up and sell it tomorrow. By the way, I also saw Zhu Fei's family digging for ginger today. Tomorrow at the latest, their ginger should be memorized."

In Erzhuang's opinion, since Hu Jianjun's family purchased ginger, there was no reason to sell Zhu Fei's ginger to other families after digging it up.

In fact, will the ginger dug out by Zhu Fei's family really be sold to Hu Mingchen's family? If there are no other influencing factors, it will indeed be possible. Even if the two families have some grudges, Zhu Fei and Hu Youqin will sell it to Hu Mingchen's family.

After saying goodbye to the two men, Zhong Ying went down to the courtyard of Hu Mingchen's house and saw that everyone was busy with something to do. Even Miao Guilan, who had just brought a big pot, was already carrying a bag of weighed ginger to the big house.

The basin fell over.

Zhong Ying stood for a while, and when no one called her, she felt a little disappointed, so she could only lift a small stool and sit down next to Long Cui'e and the others.

"Grandma, you come here to keep an eye on us every day, are you afraid that we will be lazy and not clean ourselves?" As soon as Zhong Ying sat down, Long Cui'e smiled and joked with her.

"Whether you wash them clean or not has nothing to do with me. Why should I be afraid?" Zhong Ying replied with a twitch in his mouth.

"Auntie, haha, you don't really mean what you say. We are helping your son's family wash ginger, are you worried?" Song Chunmei said with a smile.

"With an aunt sitting here, how dare any of us not wash seriously? Aunt, to be honest, if you are sitting here with us, you might as well get a basin and wash it together and help us." Li Xiumei raised her head and wiped the messy forehead.

Hair, also said with a smile.

"He doesn't give me any money, so why should I wash it with you? I'm an old man, and I still do this kind of work for free." Zhong Ying said, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, what does a family say when it comes to two families? If you wash my family's house, you have to count the money. But if you wash ginger for Hu Jianjun's house, it must cost money... It's a bit hard to explain, isn't it?

Hahaha." Song Chunmei joked.

"Mom, you're here, can I get you a glass of water?" Jiang Yucai, who was adding coal to the ginger stove, stood up and saw Zhong Ying sitting here and walked over to greet her.

"Yes, I'm here. If I don't come to your house for a day, I will feel uncomfortable. Sitting here at your house can cure old age diseases." Zhong Ying felt uncomfortable being made a joke by others, so he just said

He said some irrelevant things with a straight face and vented his anger on Jiang Yucai.

Jiang Yucai was stunned by what Zhong Ying said. What happened to this old man? Who had offended her again?

"Hehe..." Jiang Yucai laughed shyly. She didn't know what to say, so she could only turn around and go about her own business.

"Hu Jianjun, what do you think is wrong with my mother? She had a straight face when she came up. I kindly asked if I could pour her a glass of water, but she talked me down." After a while, Jiang Yucai went to the house to look for her.

Hu Jianjun speaks.

Hu Jianjun, who had been tired for several hours, was lying on the bed with his shirtless body ready to take a nap. When Jiang Yucai disturbed him, he seemed impatient.

"Oh, what's the point? It's not like you don't know. Her temper is like that. She makes a fuss. Get out quickly and let me rest for half an hour." Hu Jianjun waved his hands casually and said.

"But she wasn't like that yesterday. You asked me to go out. As soon as I went out, I saw her cold face. What should I do? Can I still turn a blind eye?" Jiang Yucai

He slapped the edge of the bed, twisted his body and said, "There are so many outsiders here. If I ignore her, people will say that I am ignorant and a bad person. But when I ignore her, she turns her back on me. She is

Your mother, of course I want to settle things with you."

"I'll make it right, I'll make it right, how can I make it right? I just want to make it right with her. Should I get up and ask her to help our family wash the ginger?" Hu Jianjun turned over and said upset.

"Ask her to wash the ginger, ask her to wash the ginger... This... I seem to understand why she is angry." Jiang Yucai muttered.

"You understand, what do you understand? Is it because she didn't ask her to wash the ginger? It's true." Hu Jianjun said disapprovingly.

"It's really hard to tell." Then Jiang Yucai told what happened when Miao Guilan offered to help wash the ginger. Moreover, Zhong Ying came with Miao Guilan.

"Hey, according to what you said, it's really possible. It's our fault that we didn't invite anyone else to her." Hu Jianjun got up and said.

"You should know why we didn't invite her. She was strongly opposed to what we were doing. In order to object, she even came to collect debts. Who dares to mention that to her? If she did, she would scold her and it would be in vain.

." Jiang Yucai said resentfully.

"Forget it, I'll give it a try. I'll tell you the truth. She's my mother. She can't be offended and there's no place to hide." Hu Jianjun put a piece of melon seeds that changed color over his head and got out of bed.

Climbed up.

Hu Jianjun came out of the house and first walked around the yard pretending to be busy. He wanted to observe how far what Jiang Yucai said came true.

After some inspection, Hu Jianjun somewhat agreed with Jiang Yucai's guess.

"Mom, if you have nothing to do, you can also help me wash the ginger. There are two big pockets over there, so I can't finish them all at once." Looking at the gap between them chatting, Hu Jianjun stepped forward and washed the ginger in Zhong Ying's shop.

said in front of him.

"Oh, if anything happens to your family, just call me. I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that you are married and have children, why should I worry about working for you?" I thought Zhong Ying would agree immediately, but Hu Jianjun was met with disappointment.
