Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao frowned a little. She thought to herself, the hazelnuts on the mountain are more than just these, turns out the bulk of them are at Aunt Lan Hua’s house.
Xiaoxiao let out a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth. Were they planning to go against her family? Were they sure about it?
Xiaoxiao didn’t really care. Actually, Yang Ming was right, with so many livelihoods at ho, buying this mountain wouldn’t make much of a difference.
After this, they still had to dig a fish pond, harvest in autumn, and build a house. There was simply too much work to do.
Indeed, the matter of the hazelnuts had to be put on hold for a bit. Moreover, Aunt Lan Hua’s house still had hazelnuts. If she harvested them now, who knows, they might just learn from it. She wouldn’t be that foolish. "No worries, there’s no rush for this. They’ll be sent back," she said.
Yang Ming smiled with a doting expression. Indeed, they would be sent back.
Anyway, getting back most of the hazelnuts put Xiaoxiao in a great mood. She looked at Yang Ming, liking him more the longer she looked. She was impressed by his cooperation today. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Husband, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"
"Huh?" Yang Ming was quite confused. What did the wife an?
Xiaoxiao smiled, "You know exactly what I’m thinking, your cooperation was seamless. Even the last step, writing the note, you thought of it perfectly. You’re simply genius."
Yang Ming’s face was filled with a proud smile as he said, "You’re my wife, how could I not know what you’re thinking?"
"..." This remark instantly reminded Xiaoxiao of that uncivilized saying: When you stick your butt out, I know what kind of shit you want to take!
"Pfft, hahaha!" Thinking of this, she burst into laughter.
Seeing his wife’s reaction, Yang Ming knew her brain was conjuring up strange thoughts again. He smiled, "Stop laughing, or you’ll laugh yourself silly."
"Hahaha!"
Next to them, Yang Ming’s mother held the child and laughed along with them. Their third child used to always have a stern face, not good at joking. Now, he smiled ear to ear every day, thanks to having this daughter-in-law.
What was that saying again? You learn from the people you associate with. The daughter-in-law was cheerful and lively, and she made the third son like that too. Not only him, but even the other family mbers beca more talkative.
I must say, the third son and his wife worked very well together just now. Their words were so convincing that even this old lady believed them, thinking they really weren’t going to take the food.
Xiaoxiao was still giggling over there. Although Yang Ming said not to let his wife laugh, seeing her like this made him happy. "Stop laughing, what are you planning to do with these hazelnuts now?"
"Just leave them to dry in the yard first. When they’re fully dried, we’ll store them. There’s no rush for now. We’ll start once all the hazelnuts are back."
These hazelnuts would be produced and sold by themselves, so she wasn’t in a hurry.
Back when their family used to wholesale hazelnuts, the earlier they sold them, the better. The best would be to sell them right after picking.
Because freshly picked hazelnuts are heavier. If left for a while and they lose so moisture, a hundred pounds of hazelnuts could weigh only seventy-five, which ans quite a bit of money lost.
In the evening, when the Yang Family mbers returned and saw the courtyard full of hazelnuts, they were amazed. Regarding this matter, Xiaoxiao explained that before Aunt Lan Hua’s hazelnuts were returned, these wouldn’t be touched. Officially, she said that seeing those few families having a hard ti, they gave them the wages to collect the hazelnuts. Whether their family could sell them was still uncertain.
Everyone listened and agreed.
