The soul of the prime minister's daughter passed through the 70s

Chapter 44 The brigade collects water

Time flies, autumn is coming quietly!

The brigade began to collect water chestnuts, wild rice stems and lotus roots. All the strong laborers were busy harvesting.

"Captain, your harvest must be good." Accountant Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Yes, after harvesting these, we need to harvest rice, which will keep everyone busy for a long time." Chu Guodong is in a good mood. The fields can have a bumper harvest, the villagers can have enough to eat, and there are vegetables in the private plots. Life is good.

Chu Guodong also went to help with the work. This man was used to working and couldn't stay idle. Zhang Wei also worked with him. Rural people don't have that much thought.

Everyone helps each other. If someone has something to say, many people will go to help. The villagers are still very united.

Chu Keren is busy selling vegetables every day and does not go out unless it rains. Chu Guodong has knitted the sweater and Su Xuemei has made the cheongsam and is going to take it to see her grandma tomorrow.

Su Lingxuan was still on a mission and there had been no correspondence recently. Chu Keren missed this man very much and was still a little worried.

Early the next morning, Chu Keren took a car to sell vegetables in the county, knitting a cashmere sweater for Zhang Lan in his hand.

Not long ago, Chu Guodong got a cashmere sweater knitted by his daughter. Zhang Lan was standing next to him and was envious when he saw it. Chu Keren felt at ease when he agreed to knit it for Zhang Lan. He had to check the progress of the sweater every day to make Chu Keren happy. Some dumbfounded.

"Girl, are there any pumpkins for sale today? My grandson likes them very much." an aunt asked.

"Yes, I'll help you pick a big one." Chu Keren replied with a smile.

After selling the vegetables, Chu Keren took the cheongsam to Su's house and sat with Wang Fengying to knit sweaters.

"Grandma, this is Xuemei's cheongsam. Please help me pass it to her." Chu Keren took out the cheongsam and showed it to Wang Fengying.

"It looks good. Xuemei will definitely like it very much after receiving it." Wang Fengying couldn't put it down and stroked it.

Putting the cheongsam aside, Wang Fengying learned to knit a sweater. Chu Keren taught her carefully, and Wang Fengying learned it right away.

"Grandma is very smart, and she is also good at knitting." Chu Keren was teaching the sweater pattern, and the front knitted sweater was finished.

Keren, the cakes you made last time were delicious. Next time you have time, make some and bring them over. I have prepared some ingredients for you. Don't forget to bring them when you go back." Wang Fengying said sheepishly.

"Grandma, I'll bring the ingredients this time. Don't buy them next time. These ingredients won't bother me." Chu Keren was helpless, so she accepted them this time to save them from any worries.

"Okay, I won't buy it next time. Last time I brought pastry, it was gone in the blink of an eye. I didn't even eat a few pieces." Wang Fengying complained to Keren.

"Then I'll make more next time. I'll come back in the next two days to collect water chestnuts, wild rice and lotus roots from the brigade. I'll bring some over then." As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Fengying stood up happily.

Keren, buy me some lotus seeds and lotus roots, and I'll get you the money right now." After saying that, he ran away briskly.

Chu Keren was a little speechless. Grandma likes to eat lotus roots, so she should buy more and bring them. Lotus seeds can be used to stew white fungus, so she should buy more for herself.

"Grandma, don't give me any money. Ling Xuan's money belongs to me." Chu Keren really didn't want to accept the money.

"Keren, Ling Xuan gives you some money, you can spend it as you like. I'll give you fifty yuan, both lotus seeds and lotus roots." After Wang Fengying finished speaking, she stuffed the money into Chu Keren's pocket.

"Okay, I'll bring some more wild rice and water chestnuts, and those will count as my filial piety to you." Chu Keren had no choice but to accept the money.

"Okay, don't take too much, so as not to tire you out." Wang Fengying said with a smile.

In the evening, Chu Keren returned home, prepared dinner for Chu Guodong, and sat in the yard knitting sweaters.

The couple didn't get home until it was almost dark. Chu Keren was about to start the meal, and the two of them washed their hands and ate.

"Dad, I went to Su's house the other day. Grandma gave me fifty yuan to buy lotus seeds and lotus roots." Chu Keren said.

"Okay, you can go to the brigade tomorrow morning and go to the accountant to buy it." Chu Guodong kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs and went to the accountant when buying things.

"Dad, I want to buy some more water chestnuts and wild rice stems and send them to the Su family, do you think it would be okay?" Chu Keren had no choice but to tell his parents.

"Okay, anyway, Ling Xuan gave you an allowance." Chu Guodong didn't care, since the two were engaged anyway.

"Dad, grandma also gave me a bracelet." After saying that, she took out a jade bracelet from her pocket.

"Just put it away for you and don't take it out again." Chu Guodong glanced at Chu Keren and said.

Zhang Lan took a look at the bracelet and saw that the quality was very good, and she felt quite happy.

"Keren, don't take this thing out in the future." Zhang Lan said in a low voice.

Chu Keren put the jade bracelet into his pocket. He was not going to sell vegetables tomorrow morning. He would make some more cakes the next night and send them to Su's house tomorrow.

At night, the Chuker people gathered and shelled the rice first, and then put the rice into sacks.

Then, plow the rice fields and plant them again, water them well, and then make cakes.

Early the next morning, Chu Keren went to the accountant to buy lotus seeds and lotus roots.

I bought a lot of them for a hundred yuan, and then bought a lot of water chestnuts and wild rice.

Chu Keren borrowed a trolley to carry all his things home, and then put them all into the cave.

After returning the cart to the brigade, Chu Keren took the cart to Jili and continued knitting sweaters on the way.

Chu Keren came to the door of Su's house, observed that no one was around, and took out everything except half of the lotus root
