Chapter 244 Busy as Hell
The two of them came out of the post office and ran straight to the department store.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice, "You went to deliver the test that day, and Director Jin took it directly without saying anything?"
Song Moting nodded and answered seriously, "Yes, I delivered it, and Director Jin took it without saying anything."
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought it was impossible, Director Jin just picked it up high and put it down gently.
Although it seemed impossible, it was too late to investigate now. Director Jin should have returned to the county by now.
It seems that I will find a chance to take revenge in the future. Anyway, there will be a second and third time after the quota for returning to the city is available for the first time.
If Director Jin wants to strangle them, he will always find a way.
The two of them entered the department store, and they must buy things, not to mention Jiang Yue and the others.
Mr. and Mrs. Song had already considered it, and they stuffed 500 yuan into their grandson when they came.
Their grandson will only get married once in his life, and they, as old people, naturally hope that their children will have a lively wedding.
In this era, there is no waste, let alone banquets. At most, tables are put together, some melon seeds and peanuts are placed, and everyone performs some shows.
Because Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting are popular, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people going, at least more than 100 people from the farm and the forest farm combined.
Song Moting bought five packs of cigarettes, ten kilograms of fruit candy, and 100 kilograms of peanuts and 100 kilograms of melon seeds.
Not to mention the red wedding characters and other things.
He bought everything according to grandma's list.
The two took the things they bought, locked the bicycle in Jiang Yue's yard, and took the bus directly back.
The two had no idea that the old man, the old lady, Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laoshi were so busy here that they couldn't get their hands dirty. Getting married is not such a simple thing, although furniture and other things don't need to be prepared.
But bedding and other things must be prepared, after all, they are newlyweds.
Many people came to the forest farm to help these two days.
Fan Xiuying and Old Lady Song are both enthusiastic and straightforward people, so they naturally get along very well with everyone.
The women in the forest farm also came to help.
Old lady Song had someone send a bunch of things from the county town, including newly bought cotton, for the quilt's surface and lining.
After all, the husband's family prepares, and the parents' family also needs to prepare.
Fan Xiuying originally wanted to go to the county town to take a look and buy some, but the old lady said, why bother!
It just so happens that there is a relationship in this regard, so just bring it together. They drove here, and Fan Xiuying can only pay her share of the money. She won't argue with Fan Xiuying as a mother.
The old lady said it so bluntly, and Fan Xiuying herself didn't want to be a stingy person.
However, when making bedding, two people can't do so much, after all, there are only two of them.
So many women in the forest farm were invited to help, and everyone worked together, which was much faster.
In addition, their two new houses always need to be painted, and some cabinets, tables and so on are purchased.
Jiang Laoshi, as a father, was not idle, and he knew a little carpentry.
That's a hobby.
I can't treat my daughter badly now.
My daughter is so delicate.
Jiang Laoshi made a big wardrobe for his daughter, plus a kang table.
The craftsmanship is so good that the workers in the forest farm are envious, even though they also do carpentry work in the forest farm.
But there is still a gap compared to Jiang Laoshi, who is in the city, and the capital.
His craftsmanship is fashionable, and there is no paint at all, but it feels smooth and slippery.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, his daughter is very delicate, and she will easily get allergic reactions and rashes when she smells paint. How dare he let his delicate little girl get allergic reactions.
By the way, he also helped them renovate all the doors and windows, and the whole house was brand new. As for the kang, he specially took people to clear the kang channel and re-arrange the kang.
Two days after the fire was lit, the kang was dry and mats were woven on it.
After Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others came back, the house had already changed a lot. These things were done without their knowledge.
The main reason was that the educated youth were busy, and they were still busy harvesting ginseng in the fields.
Even when Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao went to get their marriage certificate, they took half a day to go.
The rest of the time, several people were busy in the fields. Who would be willing to rest?
The two came back and handed the things to Fan Xiuying and the old lady.
In fact, the things in this family were all handled by these two people. They were busy working in the fields.
Now even cooking in the kitchen was done by Fan Xiuying and the old lady.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no time to look at her betrothal gifts, mainly because they were busy from morning to night, and after returning, they wanted to fall asleep on the kang.
There was not even enough time to eat, so how could there be time to think about it.
Fan Xiuying and the old lady also felt sorry for these children and made delicious food for them in various ways, but it was still useless. More than a dozen people were seen getting thinner.
The marriage certificate was received, but Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting said that they would celebrate happily together after the ginseng in their fields was harvested.
It was just to celebrate their first profit, so of course they were in the mood to get married.
Otherwise, who would have the heart to get married when they were so tired?
Finally, after more than 20 days, the ginseng in the field was harvested.
It was the last day to harvest ginseng. They estimated that they could harvest it in half a day at most, so Song Moting contacted the mountain product collectors in advance, and they had already agreed. They would come to collect it on the same day, and they would pay for the goods.
This was before they finished harvesting the ginseng.
Gu Dali was afraid that there would be some left in the field, so he specially found a few educated youths to plow the whole field again with a sledge.
Even the broken ginseng whiskers were not missed, not to mention that at the end, they picked up one or two pounds of ginseng that they had left behind.
When the mountain product collectors came up, everyone packed all the ginseng stored in the house into bags and carried them out one sack at a time.
The mountain product collectors were all shocked, mainly because the people in the forest farm were not willing to grow ginseng in the past two years.
It was mainly because it was a waste of effort, and no one had the time.
The forest farm is short of manpower, and the forest land is too scattered. Most of the forest farm workers have to go up the mountain to cut wood. This kind of work has to be handed over to the family members and women of the farm. After encountering several attacks by wild animals, the forest farm workers quit and worked hard on the mountain.
If the family members are in danger, the harvest of the little land they planted is not as much as the money spent on medical treatment.
And last year they suffered a snowstorm, and they didn't think they would have a good harvest this year, but they didn't expect that this group of young people really planted a good ginseng. The people who collect mountain products opened the sack and took a look.
It's too discouraging.
If anyone dares to say that this is a year-old ginseng, he will spit on him.
Song Moting also knows that the ginseng they planted is a bit too strange.
Let's discuss it privately, even with the old man and the old lady.
It's not that there are wild ginsengs that are more than ten years old, but it takes time to plant them, and time is exactly what they can't explain.
Then just don't explain it, let them guess it themselves.
You can't tell you everything.
This is the only solution.
Because they themselves can't explain it clearly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao touched his nose and decided to be more careful with spring water in the future.
Something serious will happen.
