Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 206. 205. Having a Son
Just when a few people were going out to lock the door, Xiang Jin suddenly thought of another thing, so he rushed into the room again.

Several people were puzzled, but they heard her yelling from inside, "Hey, do you two want to bring an insulated bucket? I'll bring it out for you."

"Why bring a thermos?" Yang Hui didn't understand, so he turned his head and asked Yan Chen.

Yan Chen didn't answer him directly, but responded inside, "Yes!"

Yang Hui and Zeng Qing looked at each other, and asked again, "Why did you bring the thermos back? Didn't you keep the winter head for cooking?"

Yan Chen said, "Bring rice."

"Bring rice?" Yang Hui still didn't understand.

"Well," Yan Chen nodded slightly, and had no choice but to explain to them, "Sunday dinner is usually eaten earlier, so it is easy to be hungry when you go to study at night, so bring some food in that thermos bucket, and when you arrive Nowadays, you don’t have to worry about being hungry when you study late.”

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll take it with me too." After understanding, Yang Hui went into the room to get his thermos.

Zeng Qing felt a little envious when he heard it, and then quietly said to Xiang Jin while walking on the road, "Oh, it's really nice of you to live on campus."

Xiang Jin was a little surprised, "Why, it's not good for you to live with your aunt?"

The expression on Zeng Qing's face suddenly became a little disappointed, and then he said, "Living in someone else's house is ultimately dependent on others."

"what happened?"

Then Zeng Qing sighed, "Well, after all, I can't live comfortably with myself in my own home."

If she didn't say anything, Xiang Jin couldn't ask more questions, so he could only nod his head and say, "That's for sure."

Maybe it was because I had held back some words in my heart for too long. After walking for a while, Zeng Qing finally couldn't help but said to her, "Xiang Jin, I don't want to live in my aunt's house anymore. You don't know, our house I still bring more than a dozen catties of rice to their family every week, but my aunt and mother-in-law know how to cook sweet potato and sauerkraut porridge every day, with cornmeal in it. I thought everyone ate like this, so I didn’t care about it.

But one day when I went back after morning self-study, I found that the bowls of my cousin and my cousin were full of white rice, there was not even a sweet potato lump in it, and they each had a hard-boiled egg, but the meals they gave me were all white rice. It's different. Every meal is the sweet potato sauerkraut and corn mush porridge. The meal looks dry when I eat it, but I'm hungry again soon after eating it.

In fact, I can understand this. After all, my cousin and cousin are her grandsons and granddaughters. It is normal for her to prefer them. I am not someone of hers, and I have no blood relationship with her. It doesn't matter, why should she be nice to me?

For example, after the fourth class every afternoon, I have to go back, because there is only an hour in between, and I am afraid that it will be too late, so I only go back after evening self-study at night.

But one day when I went home after evening self-study, my cousin secretly gave me a steamed stuffed bun, saying that they made it in the afternoon, and she quietly left one for me, telling me to eat it quietly Don't let her grandma see it, she also told me that the steamed stuffed bun was delicious and came from meat buns. "

Xiang Jin was also a little stunned after hearing this, but then nodded again, "Understood."

Zeng Qing also nodded, "Yes, I also clearly felt the aggrieved life that you and your sister lived in Lao Xiang's house once."

Xiang Jin asked, "What about your aunt, what's your attitude?"

The expression in Zeng Qing's eyes suddenly dimmed, and at the same time, there was some stubborn dissatisfaction, "That's all. On the surface, he pretended to care about me, but in reality, that's all."

Then Xiang Jin asked again, "Your aunt has no status in her husband's family?"

Zeng Qing shook her head, "No, she should still have a certain status. She is still in charge of more than half of their family's money and food, and sometimes her mother-in-law still listens to what she says."

Xiang Jin nodded and didn't ask any other questions.

Then I heard Zeng Qing say again, "Xiang Jin, can you help me find out if there are any vacant beds in your girls' dormitory? I want to move to the school, but I don't want to live with my aunt and the others." Is there?"

Xiang Jin said, "Yes, the bed in my previous dormitory is still vacant, you can move to sleep in my bed."

"Really?" Zeng Qing jumped up happily, and then grabbed her arm excitedly and confirmed.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I wanted to ask you when I saw you last time, but at that time I saw that you were quite happy living at your aunt's house, so I dismissed that idea."

"Xiang Jin, you are so kind," Zeng Qing immediately hugged Xiang Jin, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude.

Yan Chen frowned when he saw her hugging Xiang Jin tightly.

Xiang Jin was not used to being so close to people, and even hugged her tightly, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, so he pushed her, "Let go, let go, I can hardly get out if you are so tight I'm angry."

"Oh, oh," Zeng Qing hurriedly let go of her, and took two steps back, "I'll tell my parents when I go back today."

Then Xiang Jin said to her again, "But I still have to remind you, the other girls in the dormitory are okay to say, but there is one girl who likes to light candles and read at night, which may affect your rest, because she The ones that look like [-] or [-] o'clock in the middle of the night will go off, and then they will light up again around [-] o'clock in the morning."

"Huh? She loves studying so much?" Zeng Qing was startled again.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, so, you have to be mentally prepared."

Zeng Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly, "It's okay, as long as I can move out of my aunt's house, it will affect it."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then you can go live when the time comes, but in fact, I also have a way to protect you from the influence of the candlelight, so that you can rest on time.

That is, you can use that cloth strip to make an eye mask, which is slightly thicker and opaque, and then you can directly put the eye mask on your eyes when you sleep, and then you can fall asleep quickly.

In this way, even if she makes the whole dormitory as if it were daytime, your sleep will not be affected. "

"Blindfold?"

"En!" Xiang Jin nodded.

After thinking about it for a while, Zeng Qing suddenly exclaimed with surprise on his face, "Oh, Xiang Jin, your idea is really good. How come you are so smart to come up with this idea?"

Xiang Jin was a little embarrassed, she didn't come up with this, it was thought up by someone in her previous life, in fact, she used this to make a living and make money, but it was made by machines, with exquisite and diverse styles.

But in this era, no one has started to use it, so it is not available in the market, and if necessary, it can only be sewn by hand.

Xiang Jin also said casually, "It's nothing, I just thought of it all of a sudden."

Zeng Qing said, "Okay, then I'll make one when I get back."

Xiang Jin reminded her, "It's best if you wear a rubber band inside when you sew, and then put it directly over your eyes, it's convenient and trouble-free!"

"Well, good!" Zeng Qing nodded vigorously again.

Then Xiang Jin reminded again, "Oh, by the way, there is no bamboo grid on the bed, you can ask your family to weave one for you when the time comes, and there is no palm mat there, you have to prepare a palm mat and Mat."

"Ok!"

"Then what else?"

"There are also bed sheets and quilt covers, washbasin, toiletries, etc. Oh, yes, I have to prepare a box for storing clothes and locking things. That's about it. The thick cotton wool is not needed now, so you It’s too late to bring it next time.”

"okay!"

That night, after dinner, Xiang Jin asked her mother, "Mom, what is the work at home like now?"

Then her mother counted them one by one with her fingers, "The stove has been dug, the well has been dug, the bluestone slabs in the yard have been pasted up, and some firewood has been transferred to our small house." In the house, we have basically done almost everything.”

"So all the furniture has been moved in?" Xiang Jin asked again.

Her mother shook her head, "I've moved in part of it, and there are two rooms of beds that your Dengwei fathers are working on. It may take about half a month to finish everything."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Then, grandpa and grandma have all gone back?"

Yang Juyun said, "Your grandpa didn't go back, and we still keep it there, but your grandma has gone back, and the silkworms of your two uncles are eating mulberry leaves now, so she said she went back to help them take the silkworms at home. Let me take care of the trivial matters of the stall, such as raising pigs and chickens, and cooking a meal, so that your two uncles and aunts will be responsible for raising silkworms."

"How many autumn silkworms have they raised?"

Her mother said, "I heard that the two families are very angry this time, and the family has raised two and a half."

"Ah? So many?" Xiang Jin was surprised, "Is there enough space?"

Her mother said, "It is said that there is not enough space now, and they have rented out the two empty rooms of the neighbor's house to raise silkworms."

"Then their silkworms should be good this year."

"Now that the weather has turned cooler, it should be better than in summer."

"What about the silkworms from Aunt Liao's house? Are their silkworms growing well?"

"Okay, your Aunt Liao's silkworms are also well raised. Oh, it's because we have delayed your Aunt Liao's silkworms this year that you can't raise more. If she can raise more, she may be able to sell them for a good price."

Xiang Jin nodded, "If there is anything that can help her then, let's try to help her as much as possible."

"Well, I know," Yang Juyun nodded and then changed the subject, "But girl, you have to teach me how to make the stewed vegetables you mentioned. I will go to town today and tell you what you told me before. I bought all the ingredients, such as meat, fatty intestines, and pig heads, which I stuffed directly in the well."

Xiang Jin asked, "Did you also sell the small scale that weighs spices?"

"I bought it, I bought it, and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."

"Do you know what I suggested to grandpa last time? And did he discuss it with grandma and two uncles and aunts? What do they mean?" Xiang Jin didn't rush to answer her mother's question, but It was another question.

Her mother nodded and said, "Your grandpa told me and your grandma later, and your grandma went back and asked your two uncles and aunts, but they said let's go and see first, and they will think about it later." , I guess they want to see if what we do is effective, if it is effective, they will do it, if it is not effective, they probably will not do it."

"Oh, I see, they are watching!"

Yang Juyun nodded, "That's right, that's what it means."

Xiang Jin said, "That's fine, let's do it first at home."

Yang Juyun nodded again, and then Xiang Jin asked, "What about grandpa and grandma, do you want to stay at our house?"

Yang Juyun said, "After the silkworms of your two uncles step down, your grandma will come to our house, and your grandpa will go back."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, all right, then tomorrow morning I will teach you how to make stewed vegetables. Whether the stewed vegetables are delicious or not depends on the ingredients."

"it is good!"

Then Xiang Jin asked again, "Oh, by the way, how much money do you have?"

Yang Juyun said, "I spent almost 300 yuan on building a stove, digging a well, and laying stone slabs. Now I still have more than 1000 yuan left on the card."

Xiang Jin thought, should I go to the town someday and transfer some money to her mother's account?Then I heard her mother say again, "I've thought about it, and we don't need to make our shop too big. I can sell thirty or forty catties of stewed pork every time, and then I will be at Caishikou. Set up a table next to it and set up a stall, so we don't have to rent a house, so we can save a lot of money."

Xiang Jin said, "I still have to rent a shop. You set up a stall at the entrance of the vegetable market. One is still hot now, and the other is what will happen to the table after you sell out the stewed vegetables? You can't always memorize it every time." Go and carry it back, right? The third one is that it’s cold outside in winter. Our side is northerly. It will be very cold in winter. You can stand outside. It’s October soon. , as soon as the sweet potatoes in the ground are dug, one kind of food, and it will directly enter the winter.

And renting now, not only can you choose a better port, but the price may be more suitable. Once our stewed vegetables are sold in the town and have a reputation, there will definitely be others Imitation is also sold, so others will definitely choose the port at that time, and it will not be so suitable for us to choose again. "

Yang Juyun frowned then, and said hesitantly, "But I only have more than 800 yuan in my hands now. If you say it is to pay the rent, and the rent in the town is one year If I pay for one year, will I not have any money at hand? What if the family has some expenses?
I can't go to you two uncles to borrow money. They are all trying to build a house, and they have helped us so much this year. I originally said that I would give them a few hundred dollars. I haven't taken it yet, how can I have the face to ask them to borrow money?

Besides, it's going to be winter soon, and there are beds in the several rooms in the house, and some quilts need to be added, which also costs money, so this money has to be saved. "

Xiang Jin comforted, "You don't have to worry about this, just find a better location to rent a house, I still have more than 1000 or nearly 2000 yuan in my card, and I will transfer it to you when the time comes, so that those bed sheets will The quilt cover, cotton batting and so on can all be prepared, and you can also pay for the two uncles together."

Yang Juyun was surprised, "Why do you still have so much money?" She transferred two thousand last time, and all the living expenses of the family when their house was built were paid by this girl.

Later, she paid tuition and living expenses by herself. On the day of school registration, she bought a few beds of the big cotton wool weighing eight catties, a few sets of sheets and quilts, and a suitcase, and later bought them for herself and Xiang Lan. Except clothes and shoes, these are all money.

Xiang Jin said, "Did you forget that I made some money with Yan Chen from making the corn peeling object? Later, when I sold Phellinus, I kept a little money with me."

Then Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay, then it will be considered that Mom borrowed it from you, and Mom will pay you back when our family's stewed vegetables business starts to make money."

Xiang Jin waved his hand, "It doesn't matter."

Early the next morning, Yang Juyun pulled all the meat, fat intestines, etc. out of the well, and then took out small scales and spices from the house, and asked Xiang Jin how to get them.

Xiang Jin asked Xiang Lan to take out the slightly larger scale from the house, and Yang Juyun asked, "Why do you still use this scale?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, this scale is mainly used to weigh these ingredients, and the small scale like that is specially used to weigh ingredients."

Xiang Jin asked her mother to weigh the pork, fat intestines, pig's head and so on, to see how heavy it was.

Yang Juyun followed her advice.

Then Xiang Jin told her how many catties of water is needed for this weight of ingredients, and Yang Juyun said, "Wait a minute, Xiang Lan, go get a piece of paper and a pen, and I will write it down on the paper, otherwise I won't be able to remember it later." live."

"Oh," Xiang Lan ran in quickly, and then ran back again.

Xiang Jin wrote down the weight of the ingredients just weighed, and then wrote the amount of water on it, and then picked up the spices on the smallest scale, Xiang Jin introduced those spices to her mother while weighing, and Tell her what is the amount, and write them down on paper one by one.

"Mom, you can't keep reading the amount of these ingredients on this piece of paper, you have to remember it in your heart, you know? After you memorize it, you have to burn this recipe, or someone else will pick it up later." Let’s go, and make braised vegetables according to the amount of ingredients in the recipe, and then we will compete with us for business, you know?”

Yang Juyun stared at the piece of paper, and then said with some embarrassment, "Oh, you have written so much, and it's like this, and like that, how can I remember it?

Besides, I don't know how to compare this ratio?It's impossible to buy exactly that many ingredients every time, right?It is always more or less. "

Xiang Jin felt that it was really scary for people of their age to be uneducated, so he said, "Well, today I will divide it up for you according to the amount of ingredients, and pack them into a package. Next time if you If you buy a similar amount of ingredients, just take a pack and use it."

Yang Juyun immediately responded, "Oh, this is good!"

Xiang Jin said, "This is not good, you still have to learn how to prepare your own ingredients, so that later on, I will teach you how to calculate the ingredients, how many catties of ingredients use how many catties of water, and how many catties of ingredients to put in how much Salt."

"Oh, what is the amount of water?" Following Yang Juyun, he became a little worried again.

Xiang Jin said, "This is easy to handle, let's take this one as an example, let's use this scale to weigh the basin first, then weigh the water ladle, and then weigh the water ladle Fill it with water, then find a piece of plastic and pour this scoop of water into the plastic bag, weigh the scoop of water, and then use this scoop to fill the basin with water, see how many scoops it takes Fill this basin full, don’t you know the weight of this basin of water? In the future, you can directly use this basin to measure the water consumption of stewed vegetables, won’t it be enough?”

Yang Juyun nodded after listening, "Okay, I know that."

Then Xiang Jin cleaned up the ingredients with her mother, and then stewed them directly, and then she went to deliver food to her grandfather.

But Yang Juyun called her in time, "Oh, by the way, how long does it take to cook this?"

Xiang Jin slapped his forehead, "Oh yes, yes, this is also a key issue," and then she told her mother how long it would take to marinate, and then removed the fire, and then it would still be in the brine The longer it soaks, the better the taste.

Afterwards, she asked her mother to sell more than a dozen or twenty eggs from Aunt Liao, boiled them in white water, and then peeled the shells for her to use when she came back.

Although Yang Juyun didn't know what she meant, she still agreed.

However, on the way back from Xiang Jin's delivery of food to her grandfather, she ran into Mrs. Zhang and Xiang Yan's mother and daughter. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yan also had a weekend break.

As soon as Mrs. Zhang saw her, she said to Xiang Yan in a loud voice, "Go back and find a basket and a pannier. We will buy some chicken, duck eggs and ducks for your second sister-in-law in the bay and send them to the city. Oh, She has suffered a lot in giving birth to your second nephew this time, so she has to make up for it, I guess it will take at least two or three hundred chicken and duck eggs and a dozen chickens and ducks to make it."

Xiang Jin pretended not to hear, and continued to walk home, but she said in her heart that eating so many chicken and duck eggs would not cause hyperlipidemia.

Seeing Xiang Jin ignoring her, the old woman said again, "Oh, oh, if you want to talk about Qianqian, her mother is really lucky and prosperous. Look, look, her belly is so upbeat. Both the second child and the second child gave birth to male babies. She is really the lucky star and hero of our old Xiang family, unlike some who both gave birth to money-losing goods, and almost made our family fine them a lot. Not to mention Tuo's money, it almost broke our family's incense, what a bastard!"

Xiang Jin didn't want to pay attention to her, but after hearing what she said, he turned around and stared at her, and said, "Who is the loser? Who is the bastard? Didn't you also give birth to two losers? That's the same. trouble marker!"

"You, you, you little" Mrs. Zhang pointed to Xiang Jin's nose and wanted to call her a "little bitch", but when she saw Xiang Jin's terrifying eyes, she changed her mouth, "You, you, you What nonsense is a child talking about? Am I referring to your mother by name?"

Xiang Jin returned the words to her, "Then I also named you by name?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "I'm the only one on the road right now, don't you think I'm talking about it?"

Xiang Jin also argued with her, "I'm the only one on the road right now, aren't you scolding my mother or who?"

The two of them refused to let the other, and neither spared the other. After a while, some people from Wantou came out to watch again, but Yang Juyun ran out when he heard the sound that made Xiang Lan look at the pot in front of the stove.

She saw that Xiang Jin was staring at Mrs. Zhang, so she hurried over to pull her, "Let's go, let's go, we're going back, what do we have to say to those unreasonable people?"

The old lady Zhang didn't dare to do anything to Xiang Jin, but she dared to point at Yang Juyun's nose and scold, "Who are you saying is being unreasonable, who is being unreasonable? You are a hen that can't hatch eggs!"

"Who are you scolding?" Xiang Jin stared at her coldly, then struggled in her mother's arms, but Yang Juyun hugged her tightly.

Seeing her being hugged tightly by Yang Juyun, Mrs. Zhang immediately gained confidence, and said provocatively, "I scold some who can't have a son, but only know how to give birth to lose money!"

Xiang Jin suddenly stopped struggling, and then stared at her and sneered, "Having a son is useful, some people would rather not have a son after having a son, and some people have two sons by name, but at the critical moment Shit, when my parents were almost beaten to death, when some people were almost thrown to death, they didn't have a son by their side, and they even pretended to make a lot of money outside, and the big money they made was clearly Hide outside and don't want to come back.

There are also people who gave birth to two of the biggest money-losers in Wantou, and one married to someone else's family. Now that they are disliked by others, they don't want the other, and they can't wait to just divorce. Nothing is achieved, what is there to be proud of?Also showing off, what is there to show off? "

"You, you little slut, who are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhang's sore feet were poked, and she immediately exploded.

Xiang Jin looked at her coldly, "I'll just talk about your two sons, what happened to your two daughters? Could it be that there are a few other people like yours in Wantou?"

"You, you?" Mrs. Zhang blushed suddenly with anger.

Xiang Jin said, "I didn't want to pay attention to you, but I wanted to bump into you to make me feel uncomfortable. Who is to blame?"

Mrs. Zhang stared at her for a long time, and finally pointed to Yang Juyun's nose and said, "My daughter is too old to read, I want to see what your two daughters can do when they read?"

Xiang Jin squinted at her contemptuously, "Don't worry, she will never be worse than that girl in your family," she said to Yang Juyun after she finished speaking, "Mom, let's go!"

Yang Juyun nodded.

But Xiang Jin found that her mother's mood was very low, so she took her mother to her room, and then directly photographed her large stack of papers in front of her, "Mom, don't worry about it." What she said, if you don’t have a son, you don’t have a son. What’s the matter? Xiang Lan and I are no worse than those who have sons. Look, this is the test we took yesterday in the third grade of junior high school. Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s better than the old Xiang’s. Those are bad."

Yang Juyun picked up the questions on the test paper and looked at them. Although she couldn't understand the questions on them, she could understand the ticks and marks on them.

Seeing that she basically got full marks, Yang Juyun's eyes overflowed with tears, but the corners of her mouth turned up again, with a look of weeping with joy.

"Is this really your problem?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, this is the problem I did. Let me tell you, Yan Chen and I are the first and second in our class."

"Really?"

"That is!"

Yang Juyun nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, okay, study hard, and try to get me back from a middle school next year, and compare with the one over there!"

Xiang Jin rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Mom, your requirements are really low. A middle school is enough. I don't want to be admitted to a middle school. What will happen to the middle school in the future? In the future society, I will be illiterate, I want to go to high school and then go to university!"

"You want to go to university?" Yang Juyun stared at her in shock.

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded his head as a matter of course, "I'm still so young, I definitely need to read more."

Yang Juyun was a little worried and said, "But I heard that the university is more difficult than the middle school?!"

Xiang Jin said, "You're talking about others, not including me!"

Yang Juyun was still a little worried and said, "Are you really sure?"

Xiang Jin said, "That's still false? When did I say something big?!"

Yang Juyun nodded vigorously, as if she had made a major decision, "Okay, then go ahead and read it. Mom will send you to whatever you read!"

Xiang Jin's heart suddenly warmed up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Okay," then she said again, "However, let's keep a low profile, and don't tell me how many points I got in the test. It’s time to slap some people in the face with facts.”

"Okay, Mom listens to you!"

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Xiang Jin immediately put away the test papers again, then raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen and give the meat to Turn it over, and put the peeled eggs in it to marinate, and then you can sell some marinated eggs."

"Okay!" Yang Juyun nodded.

Xiang Jin suggested, "But for today's taster, let's serve some to some friends in Wantou to eat, and thank them for their help and care for our family before."

Yang Juyun nodded, "I think so too."

Xiang Jin said, "The brine can't be poured out, let it cool down, and save it when the time comes, and add some water next time to continue to use it, the old brine is obtained repeatedly like this, use the old brine The stewed food will be more delicious and fragrant at that time!"

"Oh well!"
