Eating melons

Chapter 36 Autumn Harvest 4

Wei Wei: “But you still have to open the windows a little at night, just in case, to avoid being poisoned.

Wei Wei bought some honeycomb coal from the system mall. After burning it once, she found that she didn't know what to do with the coal slag, so she had to replace it with carbon.

Although it burns smokeless and environmentally friendly carbon, it is still carbon, and it is still unsafe at home if the doors and windows are closed tightly.

The autumn harvest lasted for more than two months, with only two or three days off during this period. When the harvest was almost over, although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi did not get sunburned, they had become several degrees darker, and there was a clear black and white boundary on places like their collars.

Even though they both used physical sun protection and sunscreen every day, they still got a lot darker.

Look at Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin, they are more sun-exposed than them, but they are still not much darker.

Wei Wei was extremely jealous. "Why? Xiao Xuemu is fine, after all, he has a golden finger. Who knows what kind of aura he has? But why is Li Zhibin so white too? He hasn't even tanned a bit."

Jiang Qi: "Xiao Xuemu is still quite tanned. You can see that the dividing line on his arms is still very obvious, but he has cold white skin, so it is not easy to see. Even though he is quite tanned, he still looks very white. But for someone like him, if he takes care of himself in the winter and covers himself up, he will soon be white again.

As for Li Zhibin, he really didn't get a tan. At that time, his skin turned red when he was in the sun. I thought he would turn charcoal black after the autumn harvest, which would be a waste of his face. I didn't expect that he couldn't get a tan at all.

Wei Wei was truly envious and jealous. "I've said this countless times. I'm truly envious, envious."

Jiang Qi: "By the way, since you don't have work tomorrow, are you going to the county town? I want to go there and send some things home. After all, they've been so kind to me, and I can't just take what's theirs, so I plan to send them some local specialties."

After all, the original owner's family was really good to her. Every month they sent her two packages, two letters, and two payments of ten dollars each time.

That’s twenty yuan a month, which was not a small amount of money at that time. You have to know that an ordinary worker in a small town only earned this much money a month.

Moreover, the original owner's family not only sent food, but also clothing, daily necessities, and food.

She is not the original owner, and she cannot accept these things with peace of mind.

I was busy some time ago, so I didn't take care of this matter. Now that I have some free time, I will send some things to them and see if there is anything else that can be sent.

Wei Wei also wanted to go to the county. "Sure! I'll send some things to my step-sister and step-brother-in-law. They've sent quite a few things over in the past two months."

She was afraid that Wei Wei would move his family to her, and her mother-in-law was still at her house! She wasn't afraid that her mother-in-law and cheap brother-in-law would have objections to doing this, after all, she had given them a lot of money when she went to the countryside.

As for why Wei Wei sent so many things, the story started a month and a half ago.

Not long after Wei Wei went to the countryside, Wei Wei's mother-in-law came from the countryside. Her father-in-law was fine now, so she came to take care of her child for a while.

After her mother-in-law came, she went back to work. After all, it was not right to have someone else take over her job all the time.

Jobs are so scarce nowadays, if someone else takes your place or you report me maliciously, you’re doomed.

That day, Wei Wei and Zhang Guodong saw the package in the living room as soon as they returned home.

Wei Wei: "Mom, whose package is this?"

Huang Mulan: "This is yours. The postman said today that there is a package for you at the post office, so I brought it back to you. It seems to have been sent from the Northeast."

As soon as they heard that it was from Northeast China, they knew it must have been sent by Wei Wei.

Wei Wei: "That was sent by my sister."

After saying that, he opened the package and the contents poured out.

Seeing that they were all dried fruits and vermicelli, Wei Wei felt relieved, but when he saw the small hats and scarves below, Wei Wei couldn't help it.

Wei Wei: "She has spent all her money!"

She touched it and found that the scarf was of good quality and must be expensive.

Zhang Guodong also touched the scarf and found that it was indeed of good quality and the color was beautiful. There were two scarves of the same style, one black and one red.

This red scarf is not easy to buy. It depends on luck or money. You can still buy it if you spend more money.

It's obvious that these two scarves are prepared for him and his wife, and the little tiger hat must be his son's. To be honest, although it's hard to say much about other people in his wife's family, this sister is still pretty good.

Zhang Guodong and Wei Wei's attention was on the scarf, but Huang Mulan's eyes were on the little tiger hat and the dried fruits, especially the little tiger hat, which she liked more and more the more she looked at it.

Huang Mulan: "This little tiger hat must have been made by a local villager! I heard that many people in the north wear it. The color is so bright and genuine, and it's made of good cotton, so it's warm. It must have been expensive. These dried fruits must have cost a lot of money and thought as well."

Wei Wei: "We have everything we need at home, why should she spend this money? She spent all the money she had. Is she planning to starve?"

Zhang Guodong: "It's okay. I'll send her some money in a couple of days. I won't let her go hungry."

Wei Wei: "Come on! Send her the money, and next month another big bag of stuff will be mailed to her. I better look for something I can send!"

Zhang Guodong: "Doesn't she know how to sew clothes? It's cold there in the winter, why don't you buy her a cotton coat?"

Wei Wei: "She has two sets of cotton-padded clothes, so why not send some food over?

After all, she knew that Wei Wei had a lot of fabric, and the amount of fabric that the Wei family had accumulated over the years was not a small amount, so she would definitely not be short of clothes.

But there will definitely be a shortage of money, so when the time comes, I will send her some food, daily necessities, and some money.

As for the refusal just now, she was not stupid. Although her mother-in-law was open-minded and didn't care about their family affairs, she couldn't say in front of her mother-in-law that she wanted to send money to her sister from her natal family.

So over the past few days, the couple collected a lot of things and sent them to Wei Wei. They also wrote a letter asking her to take care of herself and not buy anything for them anymore. They already had everything and needed nothing.

After seeing their letter, Wei Wei decided not to send anything too expensive. She had only planned to send it that time, and if she sent anything in the future, she would definitely send local specialties.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi looked through the books. During the three days of vacation, Jiang Qi bought a lot of things, such as hazel mushrooms, pine nuts, and dried chestnuts.

After the purchase, he would keep half for himself and give the other half to Wei Wei.

Wei Wei looked at the price of mushrooms in the system mall and could only sigh.

Wei Wei: "They're all mushrooms, but why are mushrooms in Northeast China over 70 yuan per pound, while 50 grams in Yunnan Province are 20 yuan? The difference is huge! Is it because they need to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic mushrooms over there? They should also screen out poisonous mushrooms here in Northeast China!"

Jiang Qi: "The types are different! In Northeast China, the main ones are hazel mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and hericium erinaceus, while in Yunnan Province, they are mainly porcini mushrooms, chicken mushrooms, blue-headed mushrooms, morels, and the like.

The ones you see that cost twenty or thirty for fifty grams are the chicken mushrooms and morels, right? Those used for making soup. These mushrooms are very light after drying and don't weigh much, but they weigh a lot per pound.

But in Northeast China, this kind of stuff is mostly used to stew chicken and is eaten with a lot of noise. It weighs a lot, and the weight per pound is not as much as that one. "

Looking at the various mushrooms, Wei Wei felt very greedy. "I want to eat chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, stir-fried porcini mushrooms, and drink mushroom soup. By the way, is this green mushroom delicious? I've only heard of it, but I've never eaten it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi quickly stopped talking, "No, no, no, stop. We can't eat this Jianshouqing. Let's not even talk about whether I can do it. If something goes wrong and we get poisoned, let's not even talk about whether the doctors here can treat us right now. How are we going to explain what this poison is, where it came from, and how it came from?"

Wei Wei thought about it and agreed. "I'll wait until I don't need a letter of introduction anymore. Then I'll go to Yun Province to eat. But when did the letter of introduction get cancelled?"

Jiang Qi really didn't know. "I don't know either. It seems that I didn't have a letter of introduction because I already had an ID card. As for when I got the ID card, I don't know either."

Wei Wei: "Ah! You don't know either?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi rolled her eyes and said, "I was born after 1995. How old do you think I am?"

Wei Wei chuckled, "I'm a post-2000s."

Jiang Qi rolled his eyes at her.
