Chapter 72
They haven't earned a penny yet! Why do they have to spend money? In addition to the seed money, they also need to buy chemical fertilizers. This is another sum of money. How much money will it cost if you add up these items one by one?
Didn't he send seeds before? Why not next year?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They felt that Qiao Tieniu had done it on purpose. He was deliberately making fun of them because other people had been growing medicinal herbs for a year, but they had never done so before.
If they spend money but fail to grow medicinal materials, they will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole village and lose all the money invested.
Therefore, they were dissatisfied with Qiao Tieniu, and even Qiao Jiarong and the others started to hate her. Who made that little girl Qiao Tieniu's granddaughter?
But it was useless no matter how dissatisfied they were. They would not dare to make trouble for Qiao Tieniu. They could only say a few bitter words that were not painful, or follow others in scolding him behind his back.
Qiao Jiarong and the others finally arrived in the capital after three days of riding. When they arrived at Guan's house in the capital, it was almost dark.
Guan Yu took his family to a restaurant to have dinner first, so as not to make everyone hungry because he didn't tell them in advance and the whole family would have to run out to eat.
When he returned to Guan after dinner, Qiao Tieniu met other members of the Guan family. Seeing that they were all very friendly to Qiao Jiarong, he felt relieved.
Guan Siqi also met his cousin, whom he had always only heard of by name but never seen in person.
Unexpectedly, this cousin turned out to be the little girl who helped him last time? Guan Siqi circled Qiao Jiarong and said, "So you are my cousin. If I had known that you were my uncle's daughter, I would have
I took you home."
Qiao Jiarong smiled at him and said nothing.
After hearing Guan Siqi's words, everyone in the Guan family stopped what they were doing and asked Qiao Siqi what was going on?
Guan Siqi then told what happened that day. After hearing this, Guan Yu and his sons looked at each other.
Everyone in the Guan family did not expect that someone would dare to take Siqi's idea? They have done nothing in the past few years and have not offended anyone. Why would someone want to take action against the younger generation of the Guan family?
It seems that this matter needs to be investigated carefully, no matter what the other party's purpose is. They must take precautions in advance to avoid being caught off guard.
The next day, everyone else in the Guan family went to work. Those who went to school were on holiday, so they took Qiao Jiarong and Qiao Tieniu out for a walk.
Because it was their first day here, Guan Siqi and the others took Qiao Tieniu and Qiao Jiarong to watch the flag raising. Then they went to visit several places of interest and did not return home until after eight o'clock in the evening.
After all, Qiao Tieniu was old, and he was very tired after a day of shopping. After that, he didn't want to run out, and would rather stay at home alone.
Seeing that he didn't want to go out to play, Guan Yu took him with him to watch his old friends play chess.
Although Qiao Tieniu cannot play chess, he is very interested. After watching Guan Yu for two days, he understood some basic moves and gradually became addicted. Sometimes when Guan Yu was not free, he would hold a thermos cup by himself.
Went to watch someone play chess.
Qiao Jiarong was driven all over the capital by Guan Siqi and his brothers. In the past, she always came and went in a hurry and never visited the capital carefully.
In the past few days, under the guidance of several cousins, she had walked around the entire capital. She also bought a lot of things, some of which were bought by her cousins and others, and some of which were bought by her aunt and cousin-in-law.
of.
From food to entertainment, to clothing and other items, her entire room was filled with everything, and she stopped purchasing.
Soon it was New Year's Eve, and everyone in the Guan family came back for a reunion. Qiao Jiarong finally met her aunt's family. Her aunt and uncle were nice people, and her two cousins were quite friendly to Qiao Jiarong.
Even her aunt's cousin doesn't seem to like her very much and ignores her every time she sees her. But she doesn't do anything extreme either.
In fact, Qiao Jiarong can also understand the little girl's thoughts. She is the only girl in the whole Guan family, and everyone dotes on her. Now there is another girl, not to mention, this girl is several years younger than her.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her. As a ten-year-old child, it was normal for her to be unhappy.
Therefore, Qiao Jiarong didn't care about her. He even took her to his room and asked her to choose one of these gifts.
The little girl felt a little embarrassed when she accepted Qiao Jiarong's gift. She gave Qiao Jiarong her favorite toy and took Qiao Jiarong with her to play with her friends.
Although Qiao Jiarong was not interested in childish games like playing house and hopscotch, she couldn't help but sway her cousin, so she resisted the urge to run away and played with them all afternoon.
Fortunately, they were going home in the evening and had to wait until the second day of junior high school to come over.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Jiarong received a lot of red envelopes. Everyone in the Guan family gave her red envelopes, ranging in size, but they were all worth one hundred dollars. Only after she went back to her room and counted them did she know how much she had received for this day.
That’s nearly five thousand yuan.
Among them, my grandfather gave the most, and he alone gave a thousand yuan. Several uncles also gave a lot, five hundred each. My aunt gave three hundred each, and the others gave two hundred.
Only two cousins who have not yet worked have paid 100 yuan each. Calculated this way, 5,000 yuan is normal.
Not long after Qiao Jiarong put away the New Year's money, a branch of the Guan family also came to pay New Year's greetings. Qiao Jiarong also met Guan Bo. Seeing Qiao Jiarong here, Guan Bo happily came forward to say hello to her.
Guan Bo quietly told his parents Qiao Jiarong's identity, and the two quickly wrapped red envelopes. Everyone filled the red envelopes and sent them to Qiao Jiarong.
The other people who came with them were very puzzled when they saw the two men's actions. Why should they be so enthusiastic about an unknown child and give such a big red envelope? This is very abnormal.
Is there something in this that they don't know?
They all made a note of this matter in their minds and planned to ask about it after they went back. Then it was more important to pay New Year's greetings to the head of the family.
The people from the Guan family branch did not leave until after three o'clock in the afternoon. After they were sent away, Guan Yu and Qiao Tieniu were also a little tired. Qiao Jiarong quickly helped the two grandfathers back to their room to rest.
She herself followed a few cousins and watched them play cards until dinner.
Qiao Jiarong and Qiao Tieniu stayed in the capital until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year before returning home. The Guan family checked in all the things they bought for her. Then they bought sleeper tickets and put them on the train to Linyang.
The grandfather and grandson took the train for a day and a night and arrived at Linyang Station. Qiao Tieniu's comrade-in-arms Lao Lin had already been waiting outside the train station with his son.
Seeing Qiao Tieniu and his grandson coming out of the station, they quickly came forward with their son and took the salutes from their hands.
Then, a few people went to pick up the consigned gifts and moved them into the car together. Lao Lin's son drove the two of them home. When they arrived at Dayushu Village, they were almost a little downhill.
