Chapter 175: Insufficient heart

Zhou Ping heard the knock on the courtyard door, and hurried out from the kitchen to open the door.

Seeing Song Xi and Zhou Yi standing outside the door, he was overjoyed, "Brother Yi, sister-in-law, you are here, come in quickly. Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe haven't come yet, so they probably will be soon."

Now they are used to calling Mrs. Song Xi, and they don't feel embarrassed at all.

"This is the housewarming gift we prepared for you, you can figure it out yourself!" Zhou Yi stuffed the basket into Zhou Ping's arms, and then pulled Song Xi into the yard of Zhou Ping's house.

He came to help Zhou Ping before, so he was quite familiar with Zhou Ping's yard, but Song Xi came here for the first time today.

Zhou Ping has no spouse. He is separated from the family and lives alone, so the house is not big.

Of course, he was also afraid that his house would be taken away by others in the name of 'filial piety', so he built it to be about the same size as other bachelor's houses.

There is a well in the yard, and next to the well is a pool made of stones, where you can wash vegetables and clothes.

There are three very small rooms in the yard, one is a firewood room, one is a bathroom and the other is a toilet. Once you enter the house, it is the main room. The small door on the left is the stove room. There are two doors on the right side of the main room. , the master bedroom is the one entering from the door of the main room, and the second bedroom is the one farther away.

In Zhouping's yard, it is not a problem for a family of three to live.

"Brother Yi, sister-in-law, please sit down and rest for a while. We can have dinner when Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe come." Zhou Ping brought two bamboo cups and called Song Xi and Zhou Yi to sit down and rest.

The bamboo cup is made of big moso bamboo. It is very big and strong. A cup can hold a lot of tea. Song Xi picked it up and took a sip. It was sweet. It seemed that Zhou Ping made sugar water for them.

Song Xi only took two sips before putting down the bamboo cup, got up and walked outside.

Seeing that Zhou Ping had planted the vegetables she carefully cultivated in a mess, Song Xi felt her scalp tingle immediately. She rushed over and pulled Zhou Ping away, and then pulled up all the vegetables that Zhou Ping had planted.

"Zhou Ping, these vegetables can be eaten after half a month. When eating, remember to pick the outermost big leaves in batches, and keep the heart of the vegetables inside to continue to grow. If you take good care of these vegetables, you will have more vegetables in the future." Too many vegetables to eat."

Song Xi reclassified the various vegetables mixed together by Zhou Ping, and then planted them again.

The trees are spaced apart one by one, row by row, and the arrangement is very neat.

Zhou Ping scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "Sister-in-law, I understand."

Afterwards, Song Xi picked six more places in Zhou Ping's yard, drew a circle with a bamboo stick, and asked Zhou Ping to dig holes to plant grapes, grapefruits, and oranges.

Song Xi came to the well of Zhou Ping's house and brought up a bucket of well water. She quietly added a little spiritual spring water to it, and then asked Zhou Yi to help water the vegetables.

After returning to the village, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng's family and He went to the village to return their bicycles, and hurried to Zhou Ping's house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two of them. The courtyard of Zhou Ping's house really took on a new look.

"You have what Zhou Ping has, and you can get it at our house after breakfast." Song Xi saw the envy in the eyes of the two **** men, and said.

After they divided today's income equally, they went to Zhou Ping's kitchen for breakfast.

Breakfast is sweet potato porridge cooked by Zhou Ping himself, shallot pancakes spread with wheat flour, vinegared potato shreds, and ten boiled eggs.

In this era of mountain villages, the treatment is already excellent.

Before Song Xi came to Ping'an Village, all they could eat were wild vegetable dumplings and wild vegetable soup.

Everyone replaces wine with water, and wish Zhou Ping that he can finally live his own life behind closed doors, and he can eat whatever he wants in the future, instead of watching others eat.

After breakfast at Zhou Ping's house, Song Xi and Zhou Yi went back.

Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe followed them, and Song Xi handed them the basket filled with vegetable and fruit seedlings, "Take it back and plant it, manage it well, there will be endless vegetables and fruits in the future."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." After Mo Jiaxiang and Sheng Jiahe thanked each other, they returned to their respective new homes with their backpacks.

Just had breakfast at Zhou Ping's house, before going to Mo Jiaxiang's house for lunch, Song Xi closed the courtyard door and stepped into the vegetable field.

I started picking those big vegetable leaves, and before I picked two, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Song Xi glanced at Zhou Yi who was chopping firewood, told him with her eyes that she was going to open the door, and ran to open the door. She was a little surprised to see Qian Weimin and Wu Zhuhua standing outside with Qian Chuntao.

"Uncle Qian, Aunt Zhuhua, Xiaotao, why are you here?" Today is New Year's Day, and I'm not at home for the holidays, so what's the matter here?

Although Song Xi was confused, he still opened the door and greeted them to go to the main room. Zhou Yi immediately washed his hands and poured three cups of hot tea over.

"Uncle Qian, what's the matter?" Seeing Qian Weimin's hesitant expression, Song Xi couldn't help but speak.

He didn't know what was going on, which made it difficult for Qian Weimin to speak.

Wu Zhuhua glanced at Qian Weimin, and said helplessly, "Xiaoxi, it's like this. The parents of the students in the village felt that two days off a week was too much, so they ran over and asked Uncle Qian, can you change it?" One day off a week?"

Parents are not fools, it’s hard work to take care of children, so take one day less if you can.

Adding an extra day of reading, you can learn a little more knowledge, and they also hope that their children can learn a little more knowledge.

After all, the children missed the time to study, and they are much older than the children who normally enter school. Now they can only catch up.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi frowned. Those parents were really unsatisfied. His daughter-in-law was taken up by the children for five days a week, not to mention, and now she wants an extra day.

Song Xi thought for a while, then nodded, "As long as the children can persevere, of course I can do it! This way I can earn five more work points, so let's start next week! Uncle Qian, please let me know."

Qian Weimin said, "Xiaoxi, several of our leaders sat together and discussed it before, and felt that giving you five work points a day was a bit unfair to you. Our village primary school is not as good as the commune's primary school, but We can't let you suffer, we plan to give you benefits just like Commune Elementary School, but we don't have tickets, so how about giving you a monthly salary of ten yuan?"

"I am very grateful to Uncle Qian for fighting for good benefits for me, but no need, five work points a day is enough, otherwise those who have graduated from elementary school or have studied for a few years, and the villagers who think they can teach and educate people must not I will let it go, and neither I nor Uncle Qian will be able to do it, so let's do it! Five work points are enough for me to eat, and I still have the right to use three acres of sandy land and two barren hills. I feel pretty good."

Song Xi rejected Qian Weimin's proposal.
