Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

"Aunt Wang... Aunt Wang, how come there are so many dishes?"

Looking at the various fruits and vegetables piled up in the corner of the cafeteria, Liang Ruotao stammered.

She delivered some meat and vegetables this morning. Although I bought some more from other places, it shouldn't be this much, right?

Liang Ruotao left the entrance of the cafeteria, rubbed her eyes, and went back inside.

No matter how many times she went in and out, the only thing that remained unchanged was the mountain of various vegetables piled up in the corner.

Aunt Wang, who was squatting on a low stool, was cleaning the vegetables.

Upon seeing Liang Ruotao, he followed her gaze and immediately explained with a smile:

"Hey! They were all delivered by villagers!"

That's exactly what I was going to tell you!

They delivered the vegetables and ran off; I couldn't catch up with them. What am I going to do with all this food?

Putting everything else aside, we couldn't possibly finish those ten or so winter melons that were almost as long as benches!

There were also giant pumpkins the size of millstones, and piles of cucumber strips...

Aunt Wang said she was at her wit's end.

Liang Ruotao glanced down at the dishes she had brought, and licked her lips:

"Aunt Wang, you might have to work hard at noon."

"What?"

"All the meat has been cooked. As for the vegetables, you can decide what to cook."

"Weren't we supposed to save it for tonight?"

Liang Ruotao smiled as she thought of the swarm of heads in her field.

Things have changed!

When I went to the fields, I realized that there were far more people helping than I had imagined!

Aunt Wang, the wages are the same as we discussed yesterday.

But you don't need to cook dinner tonight, but you might have to do the cooking for lunch! Is that alright with you?

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, and she immediately guessed the reason. She patted her chest and said, "Sure! Why not?"

Anyway, whether you cook one pot of food or two pots, it's all the same.

No difference!

However, before that, she had to go and check out the fields.

We need to know exactly how many people there are so we can prepare the necessary items.

That noon, the entire Huajia Village was bustling with activity, just like during the Lunar New Year.

At the entrance of the long-closed cafeteria, children ran around excitedly.

The villagers, who had finished their work, squatted by the roadside, chatting and laughing.

As waves of rich aroma wafted from the house, Aunt Wang and the others finally opened the door to the large dining hall.

The prepared food was put into a large bowl and placed on a chair that had been prepared beforehand.

"dinner time!"

"Line up! One at a time!"

The villagers, carrying large food bowls, obediently lined up in a long queue.

On the other side, Liang Ruotao stood in front of a large bucket filled with cooked bone broth, holding a large soup ladle and calling out to customers.

"Kids, come and line up here! One bowl of bone broth for each of you!"

The children, holding bowls, obediently walked up to Liang Ruotao and said in unison in their childish voices:

"Hello, Grandma/Auntie Peach!"

"Okay, hello everyone! Hurry up and line up!"

On the other side, the adults who had already lined up to receive their meals stared at their lunchboxes in disbelief:

Wow! There's meat in it! And quite a lot!

"I have meat in my bowl too!"

The man shoveled a mouthful of food into his mouth:

"So much oil!"

These days, every household is short of oil and fat, and it's a rare treat to eat a dish with plenty of oil and fat. The villagers are overjoyed, as if they've just eaten the flesh of Tang Sanzang.

"The Pear Sisters are just as honest as Uncle Sheng! This meal must have cost quite a bit of money!"

Meanwhile, Aunt Wang, with her superb knife skills, skillfully sliced ​​the meat into ultra-thin slices, keeping her accomplishments hidden.

As time went on, the long queues got shorter and shorter.

Looking at the children next to her who were happily licking their bowls, Liang Ruotao felt a pang of sadness when she noticed that they all had large heads and small bodies.

He quickly called them over, tilted the large pot, and divided the bone broth inside equally among them.

The parents who witnessed this scene felt a lump in their throats and rubbed their eyes.

If I had helped them before, it was because I wanted to get to appear in front of the Liang Yili sisters.

So the drying of the grain over the next few days was definitely out of their true feelings.

That year, the villagers took care of all the processes for Huayuansheng's rice, from harvesting to storage, except for occasionally going to the threshing ground to dry the rice at noon.

Just as the villagers had finished eating and were getting ready to go home...

Liang Yili, who had disappeared sometime earlier, returned carrying two large sacks.

She stood on a large rock at the entrance of the main canteen, looking at the villagers whose cheeks were flushed red from the sun, and called out loudly:

"Hey everyone, don't go yet! Could you please do me one more favor?"

Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Liang Yili.

Liang Yili untied the rope on the sack and took out a towel and a stack of socks from the sack.

We have a lot of defective products left over that we haven't sold. I wonder if anyone could help me clear out this stock?

The villagers were taken aback, then asked all at once, "How much?"

Liang Yili smiled and said, "It's free!"

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

An uproar ensued.

"for free?"

"right!

for free!

Anyone who helped my family harvest rice this morning can come and collect a towel and ten pairs of socks.

Don't think it's too little!

These are all slightly flawed, please don't be put off!

The villagers quickly shook their heads: "How could we possibly dislike it? So what if it's a defective product? Defective products still cost money!"

"Yes, Pear, didn't you want to earn money to go to school?"

"Don't bother sending any more, just tell us how much it costs, we'll pool our money and buy it together!"

"I'll buy a stack of socks!"

"Yes, we have to charge! How can we not charge? You have to spend money to buy the goods too."

"I heard these towels aren't cheap!"

"I cooked so much meat for lunch today, I hope I don't spend all the money I have left."

We're still looking forward to celebrating your university admission!

Liang Yili felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the villagers below, who were sincerely and earnestly urging her to accept the money.

Liang Ruotao's watery eyes had become moist without her noticing.

Hua Yuansheng, who was squatting to the side, showed off his big white teeth.

Liang Yili feigned sadness and said, "I knew everyone would complain that it was a defective product."

"How could that be! It's definitely not because I'm disgusted."

"Just keep it!"

Hua Anyan handed her a notebook from the side at just the right moment. Liang Yili looked down and saw that it was full of names.

"This is a list of people who helped this morning."

Liang Yili smiled gratefully: "Uncle Village Chief, you're so thoughtful! Then I'll call people according to this list?"

"Row!"

Hua An earnestly advised, "Taozi and Lizi genuinely wanted to give you these gifts."

"We accepted their gifts, so we can't pretend we don't see them if they need our help in the future!"

"That must be impossible!"

Liang Yili immediately started calling out the name: "Hua Chuntao!"

"To!"

"Hua Anjing!"

"To!"

……

The person who received the items touched them with delight: "This towel is so thick! And the socks are good too! I don't need to buy socks this year!"

Meanwhile, the Liang family.

A sorrowful cry, filled with helplessness and despair, echoed in the empty main room.
