Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 80 Dark History? Burn It All
The house on the provincial road also has a yard after it is built. There are two big pigs, chickens, ducks and other animals raised at home. Hu Qiongfang was reluctant to sell them. She planned to use the remaining broken bricks and two bags of cement to build a pigpen and chicken coop in the yard after the house was built.
When the time comes, bring the pigs, chickens and ducks from home over there as well.
Opening a shop and doing business does not prevent her from raising pigs and chickens.
Besides, when running a food business, the thing that is most in short supply is slop. Hu Qiongfang is even planning to raise a few more pigs.
Anyway, the泔水 in the store is free, so I can open two acres of vegetable garden, plant some vegetables, feed the fish until the end of the year, and sell them to make some money.
Jiang Tian was packing her things in the house. She accidentally found her report card for the first semester of the first grade of junior high school in an old schoolbag. It was so horrible!
Except for Chinese and history where his grades were slightly better, his scores in algebra and English were simply terrible. The two subjects combined were less than 100. How could he get into high school?
In her previous life, when Jiang Tian was reading some rebirth stories on her mobile phone, she often saw that the heroine became a top student after rebirth and was easily admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. At that time, she was still thinking that if she could be reborn, she should also be able to get into a university or something.
Now it seems that she was still too stupid and naive.
Completely overestimated my own achievements and IQ.
It’s better to just sell boxed lunches.
He crumpled up the wrinkled report card and threw it into the stove.
Why keep such a shameful black history? If Jiang Cheng finds it out, he will definitely laugh at her secretly again.
The pigpen in the new house had not been built yet, so the mother and daughter discussed it and decided to move back first. With so many animals at home, they couldn't keep bothering the neighbors next door.
Upon hearing that the mother and daughter had returned to the village, Hu Cuizhi ran over in a hurry, held Hu Qiongfang's hand and looked her up and down for a long time, as if she was afraid that her good sister had lost a piece of flesh.
Although Grandma Hu is always smiling, the younger generations in the village like Hu Cuizhi are very afraid of her. Hu Cuizhi is really afraid that Grandma Hu will be like the old ladies in operas, so she would use her cane to beat her good sister as soon as they meet.
Fortunately, Hu Qiongfang didn't look like she had been beaten.
"What's going on? I heard that you adopted Tiantian to the He family?"
This matter has now spread throughout the village. To be honest, it's a good thing that the one who was adopted out was a girl named Jiang Tian. If the He family had taken Jiang Cheng away, the elders of the Jiang family would probably have come to their house to ask for an explanation by now.
Therefore, if Grandpa Hu wanted Jiang Leping's two children to have other people's surnames, he could only fantasize about it. No matter how much the Jiang family ignored Hu Qiongfang and her son, it was impossible for Jiang Leping to have no descendants.
Hu Qiongfang could only tell her good sister what had happened, mentioned her moving, and asked Hu Cuizhi if she wanted her eel fishing hook.
After the new house is built, she will move to the provincial road. There are not as many ditches there as in the village. It would be a waste to keep these eel fishing hooks. Instead of burning them as firewood, it is better to give them to Hu Cuizhi.
When Hu Cuizhi heard that the loaches and eels in the village could be sold at such a high price if they were taken to the provincial road, she was tempted. After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you. You guys are going to move. If there's anything the villagers need help with, just send someone to bring a message back.
Then she gossiped with her best friend: "Luckily your family is moving out. You don't know that many people in the village who can't find a wife are looking for matchmakers and want to come to your house to propose marriage. Bah! A toad wants to eat swan meat. I think they are dreaming!"
Being treated as a fat sheep, Hu Qiongfang felt uncomfortable. At this time, she was glad that she listened to her daughter and bought the land. Although it would cost a lot of money to buy the land and build a house, as long as she didn't shout about it everywhere, no one would know that her man was gone.
The situation in the past two years is different from before. There are more men from rural areas going out to work. As long as others misunderstand that her husband has gone out to work, and it drags on for a few years, when she can no longer have children, who would be willing to marry her?
After realizing this, Hu Qiongfang really couldn't wait to move into her new home.
Hearing that Hu Qiongfang was going to cook for the workers who were building the house the day after tomorrow, Hu Cuizhi asked her husband to drive the ox cart over without saying a word, and helped Hu Qiongfang carry a few bags of rice onto the cart and deliver them to the village mill.
Rural people seldom spend money to buy rice. They harvest their own rice and take it to the rice mill to be processed into rice for free. They just give half of the broken rice and bran to the mill.
Hu Qiongfang did not bother to be polite with her good sisters and asked Hu Cuizhi and her husband to bring their children to her house for dinner in the evening. While the two sisters were chatting, Jiang Tian had already ridden her bike to the township central primary school to pick up Jiang Cheng after school.
Jiang Cheng was still unhappy. How could a fourth-grade boy need his family to pick him up after school?
Fortunately, I just transferred to another school and I don’t know any of my classmates, otherwise I would have been laughed at to death by my classmates .
Jiang Tian rolled her eyes. If she wasn't worried that Jiang Lesheng would do something to him, she wouldn't have bothered to make this trip in such a hot day.
However, Jiang Cheng soon felt lucky because his sister came to pick him up on a bicycle today.
The weather in midsummer changes suddenly. A large dark cloud floats over the horizon, and soon, raindrops as big as beans begin to fall.
When it started to rain heavily, the siblings just happened to rush to the door of their home on their bikes.
If Jiang Tian hadn't picked him up today, and Jiang Cheng had walked back by himself, he would have been soaked like a mini drowned chicken.
However, rain is not completely without benefits.
After the rain, the ditches in the village began to rise. All you had to do was put a bamboo cover over the drain of the ditch and wait for the fish and shrimp to enter the cage.
As soon as the rain stopped and seeing that it was still light outside, the brother and sister each picked up a bamboo basket and ran to the small ditch beside the rice field. Sure enough, the water level had risen.
The brother and sister stuck the bamboo cover in the drain. Jiang Tian asked Jiang Cheng to watch it. She ran home and got a bucket. She saw that Jiang Cheng was holding a few crucian carps strung with willow branches.
Looking at the crucian carp that was still jumping around, Jiang Tian was reluctant to move to the new home.
It is indeed lively next to the provincial road, and it is more convenient to take a car than in the village. But there are not so many criss-crossing ditches there like in the village.
From now on, if they want to eat fresh fish and shrimp, they can only buy them with money.
Huh?
Not necessarily.
Thinking of the old lady digging ditches and watering the vegetable garden behind the new house, Jiang Tian squatted on the ground and thought happily:
If others can dig, why can't she?
Anyway, the management of residential land along provincial roads is not as strict as in later generations. Strictly speaking, many houses on both sides of the provincial roads are considered "illegal buildings". Many people don't spend money to buy land at all. They just build a house and live there when they see no one there.
However, when the provincial roads are widened and demolished, this kind of house will not get much benefit. Want to get compensation and homestead? You can't even get the land certificate, what do you want?
If they think about it this way, while building the house, they can dig a small pond in the open space near their home. Then they can go back to the village, catch some small fish and shrimps and put them in the pond, which will be convenient for them to eat at home later right?
