Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet - Chapter 94

Su’s watermelon is ripe.

Su’s original thought that her daughter could not grow those black melon seeds, and at that time, Young Jin said vowedly: “This watermelon is similar to a pumpkin, maybe it can be grown?” Almost three acres of watermelon seeds were planted in the mountains of the bay.

Nourished by spring rain and irrigated in summer, a slice of watermelon really came out. It was the middle of July when it was time for the watermelon to mature. Youjin naturally had not forgotten that Xiao Linfeng had promised to send a batch to Beijing for him when the watermelon was ripe.

It was a carriage that departed from Wuli Bridge, and pulled a cart of eight ripe green vine flower skin watermelons to the capital. Also sent were some new teas made by Youjin in the tea village in the past two months and a reply to Xiao Linyu.

But the watermelon of the Su family has not been delivered to Beijing, but Xiao Linyu has arrived in Luohe Prefecture.

“Brother Xiao?” I have nothing to do today. I have trained a few big and healthy wolf dogs at home. I took the dog back from the navigable Luohezhou canal, but I saw a month. The people I met were riding a white horse and looked at me with a smile.

Xiao Linyu has seen her from afar, and the young girl wearing a water-green narrow-sleeve slanted shirt with loose trousers of the same color thinks that she is so good in the eyes of Xiao Linyu, who is accustomed to everyone’s show. : “I haven’t seen you for a long time, but you haven’t changed at all.”

Xiao Linyu ’s unchangeable mouth did not mean that the appearance of Young Jin remained unchanged, but that the tenacity in her body and the light between her eyebrows were the same as when she first met her. The girl who hadn’t been seen for half a year is now more and more graceful, and Xiao Linyu thought slowly in her mind that the young Jin was almost years old. It seems that he is a little too unstable.

Young Jin didn’t think about it so much, she stopped a few big dogs, and her peach-eyed eyes turned into crooked crescent moons: “I haven’t seen you for a long time. Is Brother Xiao good lately?”

Xiao Linyu turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the schoolboy who was riding a horse behind him, and stood next to the young gold. The two intentionally and unintentionally separated by a half-foot distance, and slowly walked to the Su family on the river bank. Several wolfhounds were taught to be very familiar with human nature. When they saw the master slowly walking home, they also walked with four legs and followed the master leisurely.

Young Jin glanced at him with a rare bookboy and a guard behind him, a little surprised: “Brother Xiao just came from Beijing? How come he only brought two people this time?”

“It’s just to come out and relax, and it would be too restrained to bring those people.” Xiao Linyu explained with a faint smile on his face.

Looking at him, he was very tired, and there was some unclear haggardness and loneliness. Young Jin knew what he had in his heart, and he didn’t ask much, so he changed the subject. Speaking. Looking at the ships coming from far in the canal, as well as the two sides of the canal that have become more lively, Xiao Linyu sighed leisurely: “In less than a year, you have also undergone major changes. The star has moved. “

Because the mooring port of the Luohe State Canal in Luohe State was established one mile south of Luohe State City, and only four miles from the Wuli Bridge, the traffic on the waterway gradually brought more people nearby. The west of the Wuliqiao River, which is somewhat desolate, has become more lively.

“Now it’s much more lively than before.” Smiling and nodding to a passing villager, Xiao Jin only smiled and arrived.

For a while, after a while, Xiao Linyu asked, “Why haven’t you answered me in these two months?” I don’t know why, because Young Jin didn’t reply to himself, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Young Jin sighed and said, “Big Brother, not everyone can do nothing at home every day and do nothing. Write letters every day, okay? I went to Cha Xiang in May, and I was busy for two months before and after that. I came back. I did n’t receive the letter at all. How did I answer the letter? ” People born with golden spoons, where do you understand the misery of the common people?

Looking at her with a disappointed expression of “you are still too young”, Xiao Linyu’s annoyance was swept away, and she smiled and apologized: “So, it’s my fault.” Talking and laughing with a smile, it took half a quarter of an hour to return to the Su’s house.

Xiao Linyu did not mention it, and Young Jin did not ask him why he came to Luohe Prefecture suddenly. Su’s also very welcome to Xiao Linyu’s arrival. After Xiao Linyu’s request to temporarily stay with the Su family, he also readily agreed and said with some regrets: “It is our honour for Xiao Xiaozi to live in our country house, but It ’s not convenient for us in this small place. I ’m afraid I will be wronged.

“Although the countryside is not as prosperous as the city, it is a bit wild. I often hear Lin Feng talking about Aunt Su’s excellent craftsmanship. This time I have also cheated you up.” Xiao Linyu respectfully respected the junior ceremony and smiled. To.

Although Magnolia and Aunt Song felt a bit inappropriate, but since the main family said so, they naturally have nothing to say. Xiao Linyu was arranged to stay in the guest room in the front yard, and the two people he brought were also settled in the old Su family house across the wall. Little Seven Little Eight had some impressions of this big brother who had seen two or three times, but they were also very happy.

“In this way, you have had a lot of trouble in the tea village in the past two months.” After tasting the new tea brought back by Kou Youjin Dacha Town, Xiao Linyu still has a cloudless smile: “Yes, this time The tea is much better than the one you gave me last time. “

Young Jin continued the first half of the cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: “Thanks to Brother Xiao’s help, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to do this.” Although Xiao Linyu’s money was suddenly jammed at the time, young Jin’s heart was also pimple, but Thinking about it now, Xiao Linyu’s self-assertion of the money he lent himself really helped him, and he thanked him sincerely.

“You feel pretty good today.” Xiao Linyu put down the teacup in her hand and grabbed the little eight who swayed towards herself without looking at the young gold. She only said: “In the letter, I only wished to treat me The scolding dog is bloody, how can it turn its temper now? “

Seeing him holding Xiaoba, they both laughed happily. Youjin still saw him laughing so cheerfully for the first time. Although he said that he was a little confused on his face, but he never had an attack. Dao: “You were born with a gold spoon in it, naturally you don’t think it’s a big number, but Mr. Xiao, all of our family’s net worth add up, there are not so many, what should you do instead?”

After feeding Xiao Ba to eat a piece of green plum cake newly developed in the Su’s kitchen, Xiao Bacai satisfactorily followed Aunt Song out of the flower hall. Picking up the veil on the table and gently wiping his hands, Xiao Linyu said: “It’s really me who hasn’t thought about it that way.”

“But I still have to thank Brother Xiao. If it weren’t for your money, I’m afraid it would be years before we can start this stall.” You Jin is not a person who doesn’t know any good or bad, although her faint self-esteem is not intended by the wealthy Xiao Linyu. There was a loss of time, but no matter what, Xiao Linyu was also kind. He couldn’t treat him like a donkey.

***

In Luohe Prefecture, the wind blew day after day, and the young gold sisters planted a bunch of lotus flowers in front of their homes for a whole summer day.

Unconsciously, Xiao Linyu has lived in the Su family for more than a month. The letter to Beijing is one letter every other day, but Xiao Linyu is always there with an old god, and he does n’t say he wants to leave. He even takes Kang’er to read with Xiaoba every day. “.

The first watermelon planted by the Su family this year also brought a lot of money for the Su family. Those melons and fruit sellers, restaurants, and restaurants have some rich people who know that the Sujiaxiang snack shop sells watermelons, and many found the young gold directly. Take the goods directly, after all, the watermelon of the Su family is almost the same as the watermelon returned from the Western Region. The price of the Su family is also 10% cheaper than the price returned from the Western Region, and it is not a small amount in the long run.

Naturally, Young Gold is also happy to do large-scale sales. It takes less than half an hour to pick up and ship it to Luohe Prefecture, and dozens of watermelons can be sold out, which really saves a lot of thought.

Now Youbao also learns to manage accounts with Youjin. Youjin’s requirements for several younger sisters are that at least everyone must have a skill. Youbao is quiet since childhood and does not like to deal with outsiders, but watching Several older sisters are rushing out every day for the family, and they are very unpleasant in their hearts. Therefore, as soon as Young Jin told her to learn how to manage accounts, You Bao responded without thinking.

“Sister, we have sold out a lot of watermelons this season and really made a lot of money!” You Bao is also keeping her abacus every day, although she can’t compare with her three elder sisters with an abacus, but she is diligent and diligent. It looks like: “Although our watermelon only sells five or two, but it didn’t cost much money, it seems to be pure profit now!”

Young Jin looked at the handwriting and was still immature, but she remembered the clear account book for every receipt and payment, and nodded in satisfaction: “The account is clear, it seems that it will not take long to do better than me. Ben is afraid that you can’t eat it. , Now it seems that I’m thinking too much. “

Youbao, who stood in front of Youjin, heard her elder sister praise her like this, her fair-skinned face slightly reddened, and she continued with a smile shyly: “This year our family has only grown inadequately. A total of two thousand and forty-nine watermelons were sold for three acres of watermelon. Eighty-seven were eaten at home and given away. If we grow a few more acres next year, I am afraid we will not earn more money! “

Young gold is also a bit shocked, because of the difference in size, although the average price of his own watermelon is not more than four or two, but after a summer, the income has actually reached more than 8,200. Excluding the cost is only a few hundred or two silver, and finally the net profit is as high as eight thousand two!

“In this way, we will have more watermelons next year.” Youjin closed the account book and asked, “Is there enough seeds now?” Watermelon seedlings are not difficult for Youjin as long as the seeds are enough , Then it is feasible to have more than ten mu. However, looking at You Bao’s excited look, You Jin still splashed her a pot of cold water: “Although this year can still sell a price of four or five silver, but next year it will be difficult to say, after all, this watermelon is not difficult. . “

Sure enough, as soon as you heard the elder sister say this, you were still very excited. It was thought that next year you planted another dozen or twenty acres of watermelon. Youbao made a lot of money and instantly fell a lot, but soon returned Spirit: “It’s okay, even if the price is half cheaper than this year, we still have a lot of money. The watermelon seeds I have told brother Han Li and Erhua have already collected, and can grow a dozen acres!”

Speaking of interest, he grabbed the abacus and sat directly next to the elder sister. He cracked and pulled the abacus and mumbled to himself: “If you plant 15 acres next year and produce 800 per acre, it would be 10,000 or two. Thousands, one watermelon sells for three or two, and there are still 36,000 to earn. The worst one sells one or two, so you can earn so much this year !! “

Seeing her sister’s eyes shining brightly, the deeper the smile on You Jin’s face: “So, do we still have a lot of money?”

You Bao nodded with the chicks and said: “Sister, I’m going to find Brother Han Li and let him find some seeds for me to come back. Let’s have more varieties next year.”
