Reading the words he wrote, He Xiyan felt a stream of spring flowing in her heart. She did not stand up. Instead, she continued with the work in her hands.
“Come on. It takes about another half an hour to finish.” She urged, yawning several times.
It was not until 11 at night that they finished all the work eventually.
People in the village went to bed very early. At this time, there was no family with lights on.
Early to bed and early to rise, this was the most normal life routine for the villagers, and only those two were busy till midnight.
The next day they got up very early, early at dawn.
He Xiyan asked Chen Jiahang to push the family’s cart out, and then carried the things they were about to take to the downtown county onto the cart box by box.
These were all local products, including 50 bottles of chopped pepper sauce and chopped radish, 50 bottles of spicy fermented bean curd, 7.5 kilograms of fire-cultured fish, four kilograms of dried shrimp with pepper and salt, and 100 native eggs.
These things added up to more than one hundred kilograms.
But Chen Jiahang was so strong that even without the cart, he could easily carry these things to the road side at the village entrance as well.
“Yanyan, why do we have to take so many things with us?” After moving these things, Chen Jiahang spoke in simple sign language, frowning very tightly and looking at his wife with great doubts. It was just a trip downtown to have a physical examination. Why did they bring these things? These were actually all the things that could be sold for money at home.
“To sell them, of course.” He Xiyan answered without any hesitation. It was not easy for them who lived in this mountain area to go downtown. Besides, she mainly wanted to see if she could find a good job or make a living there. It was impossible for her to stay in the countryside and keep a dozen mu of land every day. She did not know how to farm. With poor health, she would go dizzy and get heat stroke after basking in the sun for two hours. Moreover, she was a slow worker who couldn’t help at all.
“Well, what about those thing we’ve promised to sell to village merchants? They’ll come and purchase on Monday. If we can’t deliver the goods, they may not place an order with us next time.” Hearing her saying so, Chen Jiahang quickly wrote in his notebook, appearing a little anxious. He was a trustworthy person, so he would do what he had promised others. Besides, what would they do in the future if no village merchants came to buy their things?
He Xiyan pulled him out and locked the door.
“No selling to them. We’ll find our own channel to sell it.” He Xiyan smiled at Chen Jiahang. She knew that his brain did not work well. With only a child’s IQ, he always thought of things in a very simple way, so in this village, others would often take advantage of him.
Chen Jiahang’s black eyes were wide open, still full of doubts. It seemed that he couldn’t understand what He Xiyan meant by finding channels to sell.
He followed her with these things, intending to ask her why. But because he could not speak, he did not ask.
He Xiyan walked in front, humming small tunes from time to time, some of which she hummed out naturally. Even she herself did not know how she could sing these songs.
The air in the mountains was fresh, making people on the road feel refreshed and energetic.
Around 6:30 a.m., they came to the road side at the village entrance and moved everything they wanted to take to the intersection. The cart was then left temporarily in a Zhang’s family near the village entrance.
There was only one bus to the downtown area every day, which started from Lanjiang town more than 60 kilometers away and pa.s.sed the road intersection of Mangshan village around 7:00 a.m. They just needed to wait here.
