A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 202 Zhang Aihua comes to move cucumbers

Shen Jiaren didn't know whether one cent for two kilograms was appropriate or not, but in the current situation, it didn't matter what was appropriate or inappropriate. Besides, one cent for two kilograms, two hundred kilograms was about ten yuan. Shen Jiaren silently calculated her own financial account to see if her wallet could afford this price.

"Okay, Aunt Aihua, then let's go with the price you said."

Zhang Aihua, "This price is the cost of the cooking I did for you. The cost of the seasoning and the jar are calculated separately."

Shen Jiaren asked, "How is it calculated? Doesn't the price include conditioning?"

Zhang Aihua, "I don't want much. I'll just ask you for two dollars for the seasoning and the jars. After all, you have 200 kilograms. I'll make you several jars."

Shen Jiaren was a little speechless...

I don’t know how many jars I need, and they don’t tell me how much each jar holds. It’s just a package price.

Forget it, this is the first time after all, and who knows, it might be the last time. It would be bad to tear our relationship apart, so just give it to me.

Shen Jiaren, "Okay, for 12 yuan, you can help me make 200 kilograms of pickled cucumbers and put them in jars.

I'll give you 2 yuan and 200 kilograms of cucumbers first, and when you're done I'll give you the remaining 10 yuan."

Zhang Aihua was so happy that the corners of her mouth kept rising up after hearing this, "Okay, okay, okay, these are just small things.

Then will Auntie carry it back today?"

Shen Jiaren, "Aunt, my family doesn't have anything to carry, so you can go back to your house and get it, and then you can carry the cucumbers back today.

When you are done, bring it back to me with the jar and the pickles, and I will give you the rest of the money."

Zhang Aihua, "Hey, hey, hey, these are all trivial matters. I'll go back and get the things first, and I'll come back to carry them later."

Shen Jiaren nodded and followed Zhang Aihua, and sent Zhang Aihua out the door.

After Shen Jiaren saw Zhang Aihua go out and trot towards her home, she closed the door and hurried towards the warehouse in the west room.

When they arrived at the west room warehouse, Shen Jiaren directly placed the 200 kilograms of cucumbers that she had sorted out earlier in the corner of the warehouse, and then took out two dollars from the drawer of the manor's study to give to Zhang Aihua later.

After Shen Jiaren walked around the warehouse and found nothing obvious that there was a problem, she went into the yard and started cooking noodles on the coal stove.

After all, she had just seen the rice sauce that Liu Hui had made yesterday and before in the warehouse, so Shen Jiaren decided to have a makeshift dinner like this.

Shen Jiaren had just lit the coal stove, put water in the casserole, and was about to wait for the water to boil when she heard someone knock on the door.

Shen Jiaren simply pulled the military dog ​​that was tied under the firewood shed at the gate when she closed the gate just now, and then went to open the door.

Shen Jiaren stood at the door and asked who it was. When she got the answer that it was Aunt Zhang Aihua, she opened the door and let the other person in.

When Shen Jiaren was standing at the door and watching Zhang Aihua come in, she found that there was not only Zhang Aihua standing at the door, but also Liu Hui and Liu Hui's father.

When Shen Jiaren saw this, she looked directly at Zhang Aihua.

Zhang Aihua said embarrassedly, "I can't carry 200 kilograms of cucumbers by myself, and I have to carry them several times.

So I thought about letting my man carry the load with me a few times so that I could feel more relaxed.

Unexpectedly, when I got home, my son also came back. We thought there was strength in numbers, so we came together. ”

Although Shen Jiaren was unhappy, after all, it was late at night and the other family came without saying hello. In addition, Liu Hui was also there, so the protagonists of the gossip that Aunt Jiang had just mentioned were all gathered together. Shen Jiaren had no idea how this matter would be described if it was known by others.

However, Shen Jiaren couldn't show her unhappiness on her face, because now she had to ask others to help pickle cucumbers, and weighing 200 pounds, it was indeed a heavy burden for an adult woman, and she would have to run around several times.

Shen Jiaren replied, "It's okay, this way we can move things faster.

The things are in the corner of the Westinghouse warehouse, you can just go in and get them."

Zhang Aihua, "Oh, how can this be possible? You said it was the Westinghouse warehouse, how can we go in alone? You just come with us and watch us work.

Otherwise, if something happens, we won’t be able to explain it even if we have a mouth.”

Although Shen Jiaren felt that what Aunt Aihua said made sense, she felt something was wrong after thinking about it carefully. She couldn't put her finger on what it was, but she nodded and said, "It's not convenient for me to go in with the dog, so I'll just stand at the door. Is that okay?"

Zhang Aihua: "Yes, yes, as long as you can see it, it doesn't matter how you stand."

Shen Jiaren nodded, lengthened Black Wolf's rope a little, tied it to the gate, and told Black Wolf to guard the door carefully.

Shen Jiaren loosened Wangcai's rope and let Wangcai and Duoduo move around in the yard. Then she led Heibao and followed Zhang Aihua to the west warehouse.

When Shen Jiaren walked to the door of the west warehouse, Zhang Aihua, her husband and Liu Hui were putting cucumbers into the backpack.

Shen Jiaren looked at their actions and asked, "Aunt, what are you doing?"

Zhang Aihua, "Well, this cucumber can't be crushed, so we have to be careful when we take it. It's okay, the three of us are used to doing farm work, it will be quick."

Shen Jiaren nodded without saying anything.

Because the quantity was so large and the items were rather delicate, Zhang Aihua and her companions were unable to carry them all in one trip and had to come back again to carry them.

Shen Jiaren opened the door and held a dog in her hand. There was another dog running in the yard. She sat under the awning and looked at the door.

Zhang Aihua and her family of three were carrying cucumbers and walking towards their home.

Zhang Aihua, "Waiter, this Shen Zhiqing is really rich. Look at these two hundred kilograms of cucumbers, who can buy them?

And look at the amount of money spent. It costs twelve yuan to hire someone to pickle cucumbers. Although the villagers only give what they have at home and other people don't have, twelve yuan is really not a small amount of money.

This is almost half of your monthly salary.

You said, she assigned this job to me, is there still hope for you two?"

Liu Hui said nothing after hearing this.

When Zhang Aihua's husband heard this, he said angrily, "Didn't I tell you to mind your own business when it comes to the child?

That educated youth Shen is coming to our house for dinner, I'm just reminding you.

Last time you went to our distant relative's house and cursed them, I told you not to do it again.

Why are you here again this time?

Don't you think about it, if the girls in the city knew about your condition, who would want to be our waiter?"

Zhang Aihua, "Huh, just these few female educated youth here?

what are you thinking?

None of them are smart.

Not to mention being smart, this is far from their families, who can control them? Isn't it just us who decides?

Especially Xiao Shen, she has no parents, so who would tell her these things?

It all depends on each person’s feelings.”

Zhang Aihua's husband saw that he had failed to convince his wife, so he offered a bunch of reasons, sighed and said, "Xiao Shen came to our house for dinner, and he looked like a smart guy.

Even if it's not clear at the moment, what if people in the village find out?

Everyone has a mouth to speak, and everyone is talking. If someone hears it one day, think about it carefully, do you think you can keep it secret?"

Zhang Aihua said angrily, "I wonder who dares to say anything bad about us.

Besides, I saw some signs of this happening, so I wanted Xiao Er to hurry up.

I didn’t do anything.”

Zhang Aihua’s man shook his head and said nothing more.

Liu Hui said, "Mom, don't think too much. Just take care of the household affairs at home. As for the matter between Shen Zhiqing and me, it's between her and me. Don't get involved."

When Zhang Aihua heard her son agree to it, she felt that Xiao Shen, the daughter-in-law, would not become someone else's, and she happily hummed a song in a low voice, "Okay, Mom will listen to you.

Let's hurry up and make another trip later to bring everyone back to our home.

When the time comes, put them in our vegetable cellar and don’t let Goudan and Erya see them.

With this money, we can have a good harvest this year."
