Siheyuan: I became a truck driver
Chapter 5: Huairu's battle of wits with Jia Zhang, the seeds planted and bear fruit
Xiao Yun put away the great unity.
"Sister Jia, if you find more varieties of seeds, I will give you more. If you find fewer, not only will I not give you more, I won't even give you four pieces!"
Qin Huairu understood immediately and no longer asked for more money, but nodded continuously.
"Xiao Yun, wait a minute. I will go back to Qinjia Village tomorrow to get you some seeds. I guarantee I can get you more than ten kinds."
"But can you give me a few cents for the fare first? If I ask my mother-in-law for it, she won't give it to me. But I won't ask for it for nothing. I have potato seeds and corn seeds at home right now, and I can give them to you right away."
Xiao Yun thought about it, agreed readily, took out a dollar and handed it to her, and asked her to deliver the seeds directly to her home.
Qin Huairu agreed.
Although potatoes do not require seeds and only need to be cut into pieces and buried in the soil, there are no extra tickets to buy potatoes at the moment.
Obtained through Qin Huairu, this is also excellent.
Qin Huairu took the banknotes, and the tears in her eyes disappeared at some point. She turned around, walked to the sink, picked up the basin and went back to the room.
Xiao Yun also returned to the house.
The room he lived in was much larger than the one his grandfather lived in. It was estimated to be at least 20 square meters.
There is no decoration to speak of in the two rooms; they look pretty much the same.
The walls are covered with newspapers, the floor is paved with blue bricks, there is a stove in the middle of the floor, a pot next to the stove, and a square table next to the pot.
The temperature of the entire room is also much lower than that of the other room.
To the north of the stove is a bed. On the bed, a standard piece of tofu is placed at the head of the bed, and a bucket for drinking water is at the head of the bed.
Opposite the bed was a large wardrobe, the upper part of which was filled with bowls, plates and other utensils for eating. One of the bowls contained two cold steamed buns, and another bowl contained a few pickled vegetable strips.
In the middle were several small blue and white porcelain jars, some filled with salt, some filled with empty sesame oil, and two half-broken glass bottles, one containing soy sauce and the other containing vinegar.
These are the seasonings for cooking.
In the lower part, there were two cloth bags, one filled with cornmeal and the other filled with a few sweet potatoes.
The only remaining food rations for the grandfather and grandson.
Unlike that room, this room also serves as a kitchen.
On the ground next to the cupboard, there was an iron basin with some green onions planted in it. Half of them had been pulled out, leaving many pits.
In the old city, many families would not buy green onions in winter, and they did not have extra money or tickets to support them in buying green onions.
So basically every household will grow some of their own.
When cooking, just pick out two onions from the onion pot, wash them, chop them up and put them into the pot.
The cold wind rushed in through the door, making the room, which was not warm to begin with, even colder. Qin Huairu stood at the door with half of her body leaning into the room.
"Xiao Yun, I picked out some good potatoes for you. I've already cut them up, and I've also grabbed a handful of corn kernels for you. Do you want to take a look?"
Xiao Yun walked to the door, took a bag from Qin Huairu, took a look at it, and nodded.
"Sure, sister-in-law, hurry up and get the rest of the seeds, or I'll find someone else."
Qin Huairu spoke immediately after hearing this.
"Xiao Yun, you can't be so rude. Sister-in-law will take the earliest bus back tomorrow morning and will be back at noon. I will definitely send it to you before the evening. You are not allowed to look for anyone else."
What Xiao Yun wanted was her guarantee.
"Okay, since my sister-in-law said so, I'll keep it for you. Bring the seeds to me when the time comes, and I'll give you the money."
After hearing this, Qin Huairu left happily.
Although I don’t know why Xiao Yun wants the seeds, why should I care so much if I’m given the money?
Qin Huairu returned home with joy on her face. As soon as she entered the door, she was stared at by Jia Zhang's resentful gaze.
"What do you want to do? You're looking for the grandson of the Xiao family. Are you attracted to him? You know his grandfather is going to die, so you want his house?"
Qin Huairu looked aggrieved and hurriedly glanced in Xiao Yun's direction. Only when she saw that Xiao Yun was not outside did she feel relieved.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Grandpa is alive and well. If he hears, he will cause trouble for us. Besides, why should I go to his house?"
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she went to the bed beside her and looked at the locust flowers.
Jia Zhang followed behind, still not giving up.
"Then why did you take my Jia family's things from the cellar? Wasn't it just to help him and make her have a good impression of you? Half of your body has entered his house, and you still say it's not yours?"
Qin Huairu was speechless, and her face looked a little haggard.
"Mom, can you please stop guessing? Dongxu and I have been together for so many years, why are you still worried about me?
I went because he offered three yuan for some miscellaneous seeds. I sent him some potatoes first, and I have to go back to Qinjia Village tomorrow to get the rest for him."
Qin Huairu did not tell the real amount.
Jia Zhang reluctantly believed it, and a look of relief appeared on her fat face, but she was still unforgiving.
"It's best if you don't fancy her. I warn you, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family. If you dare to do anything to let Dongxu down, I will call the police to arrest you! And that grandson of the Xiao family, arrest him and put him in jail together!"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Qin Huairu.
"Where's the money? Hand it over! Don't try to keep it for yourself."
Qin Huairu looked helpless and spoke while hugging Huaihua.
"I haven't gone back to get something for someone yet, how can they give me money? I also want to ask you for tomorrow's bus fare."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately took a step back.
"I don't have any money, you have to find a way to go! You promised him, go ask him for the fare!"
Qin Huairu sighed. She had guessed this situation a long time ago.
Fortunately, she knew Jia Zhang and deliberately concealed the fact that she had received one dollar.
Otherwise, if Jia Zhang finds out, she won’t let go of even this one dollar, let alone the car fare.
...
Xiao Yun looked through the window at the central courtyard.
After finding that there was no one there, he fastened the bolt and entered the space with a bag of potato cubes and corn kernels.
The first thing Xiao Yun did after entering the space was to go to the wooden house.
There was a hoe on the table at the door of the wooden house.
This is a tool used to reclaim wasteland.
Xiao Yun didn't choose a place deliberately, he just picked a piece of field and started digging.
This field is right in front of the wooden house and can be reached in just a few meters.
The workload of digging the ground may be a little difficult for others, but it is very easy for Xiao Yun. His training in the army is much harder than digging the ground. At the same time, his body has been transformed by the stream water, becoming more powerful.
Soon, the two fields were dug up and all the potatoes and corn kernels were buried in the soil.
Everything is done.
Waiting for growth time.
Xiao Yun exited the space and brought the bucket for drinking water from the house into the space.
Use the bucket you brought to draw water from the stream and water the seeds. After a few rounds, all the seeds are watered.
Just a few seconds after the watering was completed, the place where the seeds had just been planted began to stir.
The next moment, the seeds sprouted directly from the ground and continued to grow.
