Chapter 237 You Are Here Just in Time
Fan Xiuying watched her daughter scooping white flour from the dough bowl.
This was to prepare dry noodles. Her daughter's small body, how much flour would she have to mix for this meal? She felt a little distressed, how could she sit still.
She stood up and took it.
"You, you just don't know how to appreciate your blessings. In front of your parents, you have never done such heavy work? You still think you are enjoying yourself. You, what can I say to you! How can you be so stupid?"
After scooping a few bowls of noodles, Fan Xiuying mixed warm water and started to mix the noodles.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was not polite to her mother.
What was there to be polite about? This was her own mother. Whenever she saw her working, she would rush to come, fearing that her daughter would be tired.
She started to pick and wash vegetables. Anyway, she was going to eat noodles and prepare to make noodles with sauce.
She took the bacon from the beams and cut it into thin slices, and put some oil directly into the big pot.
At this time, the fungus and mushrooms here were in the harvest season, and there was no shortage of these things.
Wash the fungus, mushrooms, and day lily, cut them into small pieces, throw them directly into the pot, stir-fry with bacon, and then pour a few scoops of water.
Sprinkle soybeans, and put all the fried tofu strips she had prepared at noon into the pot to cook.
Then put the firewood into the stove, sit aside, and start to pull the bellows.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here? I was saying that I would take a leave to go back and spend the New Year with you during the New Year this year, but who knew you would come now. I couldn't even ask the director for leave at that time."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was mainly thinking that they would receive the notice soon after the college entrance examination, and they would have to report in the spring of next year, so she estimated that if she took a leave to go back and spend the New Year, she would never have to come back again.
She had a very good time.
Fan Xiuying regretted it a little when she heard it. If she had known that her child had this plan, they would not have come. After all, it would be different for the child to spend the New Year back home and here. She could also make up for the child well when she returned home. There was nothing she wanted here.
It was not easy for them to come all the way here, just look at this remote and poor mountain area.
When they came, they saw a wild animal flashing by the roadside on the way up the mountain. Although they didn't see clearly what it was, the couple were also frightened.
"It's all your fault. If you had written two more letters home and told us all these things, your father and I would have come here! By the way, you asked me why we came here? I asked you, where did the thing you sent home come from?
Did you go up the mountain? I tell you, you are a little girl, you can't be so bold. You dare to do anything. This is not at home. Don't you see that this is a mountain, and the mountain is full of primitive forests.
Do you know what is in the mountain? If you encounter jackals, tigers and leopards, can you beat them as a girl? Or what?
You said that your father and I were anxious when we saw that thing. We were so anxious that we both broke out in cold sweats. Your father and I decided to come to see you immediately. We couldn't let you do whatever you want."
After scolding her daughter, Fan Xiuying finally felt relieved. The couple was worried all the way.
I was afraid that something might happen to my daughter. This is a deep forest. The beasts won't listen to you. Can they negotiate with you? Seeing that you are weak, they won't eat you. They will find someone else.
"Mom, don't worry about the things I sent back to you. They didn't come from the deep forest. I found them nearby. I also told you that our small group planted ginseng this year. We planted dozens of acres. Today we saw that they were longer than my fingers.
At least ten years. We are preparing to harvest ginseng in the next few days and sell it to share the money. You and my dad are just in time. You can help cook by then, and I will go to the fields to help everyone harvest ginseng. When the money is sold and divided, you and my dad will take the money back directly.
It also saves me from worrying about carrying money on the road."
When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw her parents, she thought that she should be able to share a lot of the money, so her parents took it back for emergency use. If I remember correctly, it will be at the end of this year.
I guess my grandma is seriously ill. My grandma has always been partial to my uncle. Unfortunately, my uncle and aunt played a particularly shameful role in my grandma's illness this time.
In order to avoid paying for my grandma's medical treatment, they carried the sick old woman to my parents.
They threw her at the door and ran away in shame.
This serious illness costs a lot of money.
In order to raise this money, my parents borrowed money from everywhere. Although my grandma recovered from the disease later, their family owed a lot of debts.
So much so that the debt collectors later forced his parents to hang themselves.
This time, in addition to the money from the gold bars with my parents, plus the money from the ginseng and the ginseng, I believe that my grandma can get through the difficulties safely this time.
Of course, my parents don't have to worry about it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao tried her best to hold on to the opportunities she had in her previous life, just because she didn't want her family to fall apart because of a small disaster.
Her parents were just ordinary working class people. They didn't have the ability or money to get through this difficult time, but she did.
Maybe someone would say she was too saintly, why did she show her kindness to everyone.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't think she was saintly!
What does saintly mean?
People cannot take it for granted that they are the center of the world, and all bad things cannot fall on the protagonist.
A little bit of grievance will be infinitely magnified.
Although my grandmother is partial to them, she never took advantage of them. After all, my father is also my grandmother's son. When he encountered difficulties, my grandmother tried her best to help him, but at that time, my grandmother did not have the ability to help them.
For this reason, the old lady is not a bad person. You can't kill people with one stick because of partiality. You must let the old lady get sick and they will get retribution for not saving her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't think that was the truth. People can't just consider things from their own perspective.
If you think you are reborn and the protagonist, then you are invincible in the world, and all the truths should be on her side.
Besides, parents have been partial to each other since ancient times, and there is nothing wrong with grandma's partiality. People say that five fingers are not the same length.
Is it because grandma is partial to her, and it's not her father who is partial to her, so she should hate grandma, should not save her, and should let all other relatives be broken up, that is something worth being happy about?
This is a relative!
No one can decide whether to be partial or not. It doesn't make sense that the old lady should be punished for this.
