After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 166: Being Punished to Sweep the Floor

After lunch, Lan Xin was speechless when she heard Lan Qing's words. This really needs to be avoided. How can business be done with so many people gathered together?

Ma Cuihua came over early to help Lan Xin finish cooking the last pot of tea eggs. They filled the pot while talking. Finally, Lan Qing and the others walked up the mountain with ease, carrying the load.

Along the way, they did not forget to look back. They were relieved when they were the only ones there and the villagers did not follow them to continue watching the fun.

By around 4 p.m., Lan Qing and his friends had sold all their tea eggs and soda and closed their stall.

Lan Xin was not worried about them at all. After all, she had been doing business for several days. What she was always thinking about was Lan Yingjie who was going out to sell tea eggs for the first time.

Looking at a very shy child who is now out doing business alone, and has not returned for such a long time, Lan Xin is a little worried, afraid that something might happen to him.

Lan Qing and others were also worried about Lan Yingjie. After selling the tea eggs and paying the money, they did not leave, but waited for Lan Yingjie to come back at Lan Xin's house.

Speak of the devil, there appeared a noise outside the courtyard gate. Lan Yingjie walked in carrying a basket on his back, and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Sister Lan Xin, Brother Lan Qing... I'm back."

Lan Xin hurriedly walked over and asked with a little nervousness on her face: "Today is your first day of setting up the stall. How do you feel?"

Lan Xin asked cautiously.

Lan Yingjie didn't notice Lan Xin's little thoughts. When talking about business, he couldn't help but smile widely. He quickly put down the backpack, took off the small cloth bag around his waist, and poured the densely packed change inside onto the table.

"Sister Lan Xin, let me tell you, today's business is so good that all 100 tea eggs are sold out! This is the first time I've made so much money."

Although he only sold 100 tea eggs in a day, which was no match for Lan Qing, Chen Baoni and others, or even Lan Xi, Lan Yingjie was already very satisfied.

Today, he went from being afraid to do anything, afraid to speak, afraid to look at people, to actively selling things. Lan Yingjie felt that he had learned a lot, and this was because Lan Xin gave him a chance, and he was very grateful to Lan Xin and her family.

Everyone listened to Lan Yingjie chattering about what happened today and made some jokes from time to time.

Lan Yingjie felt embarrassed by the end of his speech. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head helplessly. "I'm sorry, I can't stop talking. I disturbed you."

"Hey, it's okay. What you said is quite interesting." Lan Xin said with a smile.

Then she asked, "By the way, when will everyone's rice be harvested?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Qing straightened up, cleared his throat and said, "We will start harvesting the rice the day after tomorrow."

Although Lan Qing, Lan Ze and Lan He have separated now, the rice was planted by the whole family before, so now the harvest is also received by the whole family together, and the rice will be divided after the public grain is paid.

Lan Qing's words meant that the three of them would not be able to continue selling tea eggs.

Lan Xin turned her head and looked at Ma Cuihua and Lan Yingjie again.

Ma Cuihua estimated, "Then my family will also start harvesting rice the day after tomorrow."

Although her family's rice can be harvested tomorrow, which means she can earn one more day's money, Ma Cuihua doesn't want to waste it, so it doesn't matter if she harvests it a day later.

Lan Xin nodded and looked at Lan Yingjie. He smiled shyly and said, "Then my family will also do the circumcision the day after tomorrow."

He lives with his grandparents, and all the farm work in the fields is done by Lan Yingjie. He really can't bear to see his elderly grandparents busy with work in the fields.

Lan Xin clapped her hands and decided, "Okay, then everyone will finish work the day after tomorrow, and sell the last tea eggs tomorrow, and then start again after the busy farming season is over."

Then she turned her head and looked at Lanxi: "Lanxi is not included. I can make about 200 tea eggs a day by myself."

After the decision was made, Lai Yingjie and Ma Cuihua also returned home, leaving only the Lan family in the yard.

Lan Xin smiled and looked at Lan Qing and the others and said, "Brother, I don't want to harvest the rice myself, can I ask someone to do it for me?"

"I need to help Lanxi cook tea eggs. I can't be in the fields all day. If you don't sell tea eggs, I can sell them myself. This will at least fill the gap these days so that new customers won't forget us."

Lan Xin said this beautifully.

Hearing Lan Xin's words, Lan Qing and the others frowned, looking conflicted.

I have to ask people to help with farm work. Wouldn't that cause the whole village to gossip about me?

But after thinking about it, with Lan Xin's way of making money, the tea eggs she cooks every day are enough to pay people to harvest the rice.

After much thought, they decided to invite Lan Qing and the others to harvest the rice, so they continued to sell tea eggs.

After all, it only makes about 20 yuan a day, and if sold for two or three days, it is much more expensive than the rice in the fields.

But after all, they are farmers. If the whole family hires people to help harvest rice, people will criticize them and accuse them of class behavior.

In the end, Lan Qing helped Lan Xin think about it and said, "We can hire people to harvest the rice, but usually these people will harvest their own rice before going to other families to do odd jobs."

"I'm not afraid of waiting." Lan Xin said quickly.

Lan Qing frowned and glared at Lan Xin, "Is this a question of whether you are afraid of waiting?"

"I'm afraid that if we delay it, a rain will come and all half a year's harvest will be ruined." Lan Ze said on the side.

There is a sun shower from time to time this month. It comes and goes quickly, but the rice cannot withstand such a rain.

"If those few people can't collect it quickly, I can just ask more people to come and collect it." Lan Xin said.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"Well, I'll talk to my dad about this when I get home." Lan Qing didn't know how to say it to Lan Xin, so he could only go back and ask his knowledgeable father.

After dinner, the sound of "clang clang clang" of knocking on iron basins spread from one end of the village to the other, announcing that the meeting would start at 7 o'clock.

Lan Xin packed up the two children and followed Lan Qing to the ancestral hall. Now that she was married and separated, she was considered a unique household.

Lan Qing, Lan Ze, Lan He and the others were separated into families but not households, so only one person would be enough to go. However, Lan Xin thought that it was about the land distribution issue of Sanqing Mountain, so she invited them all to go and listen together.

We met many villagers along the way, all of whom were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the ancestral hall.

The villagers burst into laughter when they saw Lan Xin and her family of so many people.

"Oh, are you here to support Lan Xin?"

After all, everyone guessed that what they were going to talk about tonight was the incident of Lan Xin being bitten by a tiger, so it was normal for Lan Qing and his brothers to go and support Lan Xin.

Uncle Lan and the others had already been sitting solemnly in front of the ancestral hall. There were long benches placed in the open space in front of them. Lan Xin, Lan Qing and the others found a place to sit down.

After some opening remarks, Uncle Lan indeed started talking about the outrageous incident about the tiger yesterday. He had already found out who started talking nonsense first.

Names were read out one by one from his mouth. Those whose names were called had to stand up obediently, listen to the lecture, and then apologize to Lan Xin one by one.

Listening to their halfhearted apologies, Lan Xin did not make things difficult for them, but Uncle Lan was very angry.

These people are talking nonsense, but you don’t take it to heart?

He was so angry that he punished these people by making them sweep the floor.
