"Actually, 20,000 yuan is not a lot. In the city, some people might spend more than that on a meal or a piece of clothing. Besides, 20,000 yuan might not even be enough to buy a toilet or a piece of land the size of a brick bed in the city. If we can buy a few million yuan in the city with such a large courtyard, wouldn't we be very rich?”Zhang Wenyuan said with a hint of emotion and a joke.
At this moment, Jiang Yazhi's mood was slightly calm. She carefully placed the box in Zhang Wenyuan's hand as if she was holding a treasure and ran away.
A moment later, she returned with the wooden box that her grandfather had given her. He handed it to Zhang Wenyuan, and his meaning was self-evident.
Zhang Wenyuan returned the box and said,""These are gifts from Grandpa. It's the old man's concern for his granddaughter-in-law. It's not like he has no choice. If he sells these, isn't it a little too much? You should keep it for yourself."
Jiang Yazhi blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, not mentioning this matter anymore.
However, Zhang Wenyuan reckoned that she would never drink it after soaking it. After all, this crocus was too valuable. People in the countryside sometimes felt that spending a few more yuan was a luxury. Drinking dozens of yuan like this was definitely a luxury among luxuries. Any villager would choose to stay and not waste it.
After a while, Jiang Yazhi raised her head and asked.
Where was this picked?
"Camel Ridge," Zhang Wenyuan replied casually.”
Jiang Yazhi's eyes lit up after hearing that, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the box.
Zhang Wenyuan caught a glimpse of his wife's glowing eyes and her body's reaction, and he suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly said solemnly.
"Don't go into the mountain alone. The wild boar is coming down the mountain. If you meet it alone, you won't be able to run away.”
After saying that, he looked at his expression and said worriedly,"After passing Camel Ridge, we will enter the deep mountains. There are often wild beasts in the deep mountains, such as aardwolves and bears. What if you encounter them?”
Jiang Yazhi looked at Zhang Wenyuan with an inexplicable expression and nodded lightly.
Early the next morning, when Zhang Wenyuan left, Jiang Yazhi opened her mouth hesitantly, wanting to say something but didn't say anything.
Zhang Wenyuan took the initiative to ask,""Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yazhi was embarrassed for a while before she said that she wanted Zhang Wenyuan to bring some osmanthus cakes for her sister, Jiang Xiaomei.
Zhang Wenyuan only came to a realization after hearing this, and then he felt a little emotional. The two sisters had relied on each other for so many years. Without the support of their elders and relatives, they had to deal with everything by themselves. They had to rely on themselves to earn all their income.
In fact, Marshal Zhang's situation was similar to the two sisters. However, Marshal Zhang was a man after all, so he had a natural advantage in making money. Moreover, no matter what Marshal Zhang did outside, there would be someone to take care of his meals. Not to mention the good or bad, at the very least, he would not starve.
However, the two sisters were different. Their lives were much more difficult. Previously, they had no labor force, and they were not educated enough. They did not dare to make a living outside, so they could only rely on collecting mountain products or picking herbs to make a living. Sometimes, it was almost to the point of running out of food and oil. They could barely maintain it with the help of the villagers and Zhang Wenyuan's grandfather.
The children of poor families took care of their families early. After the first two years, even girls of seventeen or eighteen years old could carry hoes and farm. They would not starve again by planting crops.
Jiang Yazhi had always taken care of her sister like a mother. No matter what delicious food she had, she would always leave it to her sister. Now that he had married into the Zhang family, he still thought of his sister and wanted to leave a share of everything good for his sister. Naturally, he felt embarrassed and hesitated to say it.
Fortunately, Zhang Wenyuan asked. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have expressed it in the end.
Seeing that Zhang Wenyuan had agreed, she immediately turned around and went into the house to bring out the osmanthus cake wrapped in lotus leaves. The outside of the lotus leaf was wrapped in a cross with hemp thread and then tied with a slipknot, so that it could be carried by hand. He had taken it out so quickly. It was probably already wrapped up and he was too shy to take it out. Now that he had Zhang Wenyuan's approval, he could take it out quickly.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at the package made of lotus leaves. It was square and quite exquisite. The osmanthus cake complemented the lotus leaves perfectly. Not only could it prevent the fragrance of the osmanthus cake from leaking out, but it could also bring a thin lotus fragrance when eating.
In the countryside, there were many things wrapped like this. In fact, it was not that they were in the mood for elegance. It was just that they did not have the plastic bags that could be seen everywhere in the city, and they could not find good paper for a while. That was why they came up with this "bad idea", which made the package more thoughtful and elegant. It didn't matter if it was made of materials, it was just whether it was dexterous or not.
Zhang Wenyuan took two steps with the things and turned around worriedly."It's best not to enter the mountain alone, do you hear me?”
Seeing Jiang Yazhi nod her head again, she felt relieved and left.
He had agreed with the village chief yesterday afternoon that he would take Wang Gui's motorbike to the town first this morning.
He woke up early and arrived at the town at eight o'clock. Wang Gui went to deliver the mushrooms while Zhang Wenyuan went to the station alone. Coincidentally, there was a bus that was about to leave for Chengnan Coach Station.
Jiang Xiaomei's school was located in the university campus of Weiyang District in the northern suburbs of Xi'an City. It was still outside the North Third Ring Road. If they set off from the south, they would have to pierce through the entire Xi'an City. If only there was a subway. It would probably take less than half an hour. Nowadays, the bus had to pass through the city. Even if it was not the peak hour in the morning, it would still take two hours.
Today's main purpose was to sell medicine and stroll around the Huafen Tree Market. Most of these places were concentrated in the southern part of the city or in the southern suburbs.
After delivering the osmanthus cake, returning was equivalent to making a round trip to the Urban area, which added two to three hours of expenses. Jiang Yazhi didn't know about this. However, Zhang Wenyuan still did not reject his wife's request. He did not want to add to the gradually established relationship.
Zhang Wenyuan alighted from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Xi'an had developed rapidly in recent years and gradually became a modern metropolis. However, while Xi'an was developing, it could use modern architectural standards to reflect the grandeur of the ancient imperial capital. It was the city that perfectly blended classical architecture with modern atmosphere.
The square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was full of people. Foreigners who came to visit the pagoda could be seen everywhere.
Zhang Wenyuan didn't stop after crossing the square. He went straight to the bus stop next to the north square and took the bus to the northern suburbs. Along the way, there were a few subway tunnels under construction everywhere. It was estimated that they would be able to connect the north and south in a year.
After taking many turns, it was already past ten o'clock when they arrived at school.
Zhang Wenyuan didn't know how to find Little Sister Jiang either. He only knew which school she was in. He didn't have a phone, so he didn't know how to contact her.
This really gave me a difficult problem, Zhang Wenyuan thought.
He stood at the school gate for a while and did not run into them by chance. Instead, he received many curious gazes. When they arrived at the living area, they did not know the specific room number, so the building manager could not call them.
He could only stand at the entrance of the dormitory. Below the girls, he received even more surprised and strange looks. Some girls even took out their phones to take a photo. Zhang Wenyuan couldn't stop him either. He could only guard the door tightly, allowing the others to point fingers at him without moving.
Actually, it hadn't been long, but Zhang Wenyuan had lived for years. Little Sister Jiang saw a big man standing at the entrance of the dormitory from afar. She thought it was that person's boyfriend, so she didn't pay much attention to it. When she got closer, she saw that it was Zhang Wenyuan and was very surprised.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Only then did Zhang Wenyuan heave a sigh of relief. He stood at the entrance of the girls 'building. Although he looked very calm and relaxed on the surface, he was really embarrassed to death in his heart. He felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny of a group of girls.
"I'm here to bring you some osmanthus cakes. The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard have bloomed. I made some cakes last night and they're not bad.”
"Boyfriend? She was so considerate and gave him a sense of security. I've earned it." As soon as Jiang Xiaomei took the lotus leaf package, the girl who came back with her whispered in her ear.
"Stupid Flower Addict! What nonsense is this! He's my brother-in-law." Jiang Xiaomei nudged the girl beside her and explained.
Although the two girls deliberately lowered their voices, Zhang Wenyuan's hearing was still as clear as if they were beside his ear. Listening to the two girls 'jokes, it seemed that the two girls had a good relationship. Zhang Wenyuan really couldn't say anything and pretended not to hear it. After a moment, he continued.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.”
" Okay." Jiang Xiaomei nodded lightly.
Zhang Wenyuan turned around and left quickly. Little Sister Jiang was a beautiful girl in the courtyard, but she had never interacted much with that boy. Now, she was actually accepting gifts from a man at the door of the dormitory, which had attracted many people to stop and watch. Although he didn't care how others looked at him, he still felt uncomfortable being treated like a gorilla.
Little Sister Jiang was truly strong-willed, so she didn't care about the weird looks around her. Looking at Zhang Wenyuan's back, she was somewhat puzzled. It was the first time the bride had sent something from home. This was definitely her sister's wish, but it was a little strange that this man she had always hated and hated would agree to send it over.
"Are you touched? Well, it was said that sister-in-law was half a lover of brother-in-law, and love would eventually develop over time.”The gossipy girl next to Jiang Xiaomei pretended to be serious as she looked at Jiang Xiaomei.
"Are you courting death?" Jiang Xiaomei turned around and said fiercely.
Then, the two girls chased him into the dormitory building.
Zhang Wenyuan still heard this from afar. He smiled and didn't take it to heart. He could only sigh at the fact that girls nowadays were really open when it came to joking around.
Usually, children from poor families either had low self-esteem or a strong sense of self-esteem. There were not many girls like Jiang Xiaomei who were not blinded by vanity and could make such a joke with her classmates and friends.
