After dinner, Ruan Tang went to discuss with the proprietress about using the water here and using the area. Yuan Xin went to rest. The other three washed the potatoes, peeled them, and sliced ​​them, each with their own division of labor.

After that, Yuan Xin was sent to the examination room first, and the rest rushed to the examination area of ​​No. [-] Middle School.

As in the morning, business was booming.

After selling the things, I selected study materials for Yuan Xinyuanran, and then went to the store to select fabrics.

After shopping around, I finally settled on one. When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Because they were making money all day long, everyone did not feel tired at all, but instead felt excited, except for Ruan Tang, who was indeed tired and had a bulging belly. Although it was not very big, it was still heavy.

After she washed up, she went to bed, feeling vaguely that people from the village were visiting her.

Before we finished eating in the morning, all the aunts and ladies in the village who were close friends with Wang Ru came.

"Her aunt, I heard that your family went to the school gate yesterday to buy some kind of potato tart? Made of potatoes? It's very expensive. Is there anyone buying it?"

Everyone wants to make money, especially making money from potatoes. Even mountain villages collect a lot of these things every year. They can sell them if they are ready-made. The Yuan family can sell them.

"Yes, it was Tangtang's idea. The two boxes of potatoes left at home were sold yesterday."

"As expected, he is from the city. He is more knowledgeable than us."

"But I asked my Xiaoyu, why did she say she hadn't seen it before?"

"There are so many things I haven't seen before. How long has your Xiaoyu been hanging around in the city? Ruan Tang is a native of the city and has lived in the city for 20 years."

"You also need to be able to play and eat. My Xiaoyu really can't do this."

Why are you sarcastically talking about the Master? Have you forgotten how Ruan Tang criticized her last time?So no one dared to answer her words. After all, she was still in the Yuan family's yard.

"Why are these potatoes turned into potato tarts? How come they are so much more expensive?" An aunt asked the key point.

This is something to make a fortune, how could Wang Ru be willing to tell others?

They'll figure it out for themselves.

She chuckled: "The value of that big carp has increased several times in your hands and in the hands of the chef of the big hotel."

Everyone is a spirit, and they don't know each other well. Knowing that Wang Ru refuses to tell him, they can't say anything. They will just have to figure it out when they see him in the future.

In fact, students are on vacation, so this business cannot be done now, and even if it is done, school will have to start in September.

The summer was extremely hot, and it was even the rainy season. When I didn't sleep until midnight, there was lightning and heavy rain outside.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, get up quickly, the bed is leaking." Ruan Tang was still in a daze when he was called out. He was so tired during the day that he fell asleep at night.

"My quilt is all wet."

Yuan Ran and Yuan Xin were both older and could no longer squeeze into the same room, nor could they stay in the same room with their parents. Ruan Tang let her sleep in the same bed as him. The new bed for the wedding was larger, and Yuan Ran was not afraid of being kicked. to her.

It was raining and the power was out. Yuan Ran had already lit the kerosene lamp. Ruan Tang saw raindrops dripping from the roof, and the mattress on Yuan Xin's end was soaked.

Quickly fold the mattress over and get a basin to catch the water.

In addition to the bed, there were leaks in two corners of the room, so Yuanran ran outside to get two small basins.

In just a short time, her clothes were soaked through, which showed how heavy it was raining outside.

"How are you doing with your parents in the main room?"

"The house has been built for ten years, and it leaks every year. Even after renovations every year, the leaks get worse and worse, and the room is filled with bowls."

But no, the adobe house is like this. When it rains, it will flood, and you can only stay in this cold and humid room.

"You put on clean clothes first, so you don't catch a cold."

Yuan Xin put on clean pajamas and couldn't sleep anymore. The two of them sat together in a daze.

"When will our house be built with bricks and tiles? I heard from Xie that their house has never leaked."

What Ruan Tang was worried about was not the leakage, which was still good. He was worried that if the house collapsed that day, it would be completely over.

"Let's go to our parents tomorrow to figure it out and see how much it will cost to build a brick house. Can we borrow it first and pay it back slowly?"

"It's difficult." It costs at least RMB 500 to build a three-room brick house and add a side house. People in the village are not rich, so a family lending you [-] yuan is considered very loyal. Even if you borrow [-] yuan from the whole village, it won't be enough.

What's more, people may not be willing to lend it to you.

The whole family was not asleep, and when they opened their eyes until dawn, the rain was still falling lightly.

The leakage in the kitchen was even worse, and the firewood was all wet and could not be lit. Fortunately, there were still some remaining briquettes from yesterday that were not used up, so I cooked a pot of soup in the main room and ate steamed buns to fill my stomach.

The whole family was a bit silent.

There was little rain in winter and spring. After Ruan Tang got married, it rained a little heavier on the second day of her wedding. That time, the room leaked and soaked a corner of the mattress. She made a fuss all night. , saying that rural people are unlucky and can’t even afford a house. After hearing her words, Yuan Zhao’s face turned ugly, but he didn’t bother to quarrel with his newlywed wife, and kept silently going to renovate the roof. She sang so much in a one-man show For a long time, no one comforted her, so she went back to her parents' house in anger and stayed there for more than a month. Her parents' family didn't want to see her and drove her back to her husband's house. Only when she came back did she find out that Yuan Zhao had been taken away.

Wang Ru has been secretly looking at Ruan Tang's face, fearing that she dislikes her family.

Ruan Tang had been immersed in eating. After eating, she moved the bed and prepared to go back to sleep. However, her mother-in-law's gaze was too obvious and she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

"Mom, why do you always look at me? There is nothing on my face."

Wang Ru lowered his head and said in embarrassment: "I'm really wronging you. You married our Yuanzhao, and you just endured hardships. You don't even have a decent house. Other people's sons have to build a new house when they get married. We are the poorest, and our family has nothing but four walls."

The daughter-in-law didn't complain a word frankly, but she felt uneasy because she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Mom, although we are poor, aren't we all working hard to make money? Our family will definitely become rich in one year at most. The most terrifying thing is not that we are poor, but that everyone is lazy and has no enterprising spirit."

"Well, in a year at most, we will definitely be able to earn enough money to build a brick house." Wang Ru was confident about this. Seeing that his daughter-in-law's face was open and she didn't seem to be saying anything against her will, she felt relieved.

"Old man, find someone to reinforce the house tomorrow. There is a lot of rain in summer. Don't let it leak in so many places like yesterday."

Yuan Guangzhi was the most silent. He put down his chopsticks and said: "It's hot and the work in the fields is not busy anymore. I want to sell ice cream to make some money. If there is farm work, Yuan Xin and Yuan Ran are on summer vacation. Please help me." Just go and catch up before dark."

Although I can make money by making clothes, I can't make a lot of money at once. The renovation of the house is imminent. I really don't want to wait for another year, and I can't just rely on the old lady to work alone. After the grandson is born, there must be a good environment. It's too dangerous to live in this place.

It’s also good to earn a few more dollars.

He could also go to the city to find work with high wages, but his family was worried and his wife couldn't take care of farm work, so he had no choice but to give up this method.

There is no business in rural areas except selling ice cream.
