426 Time to Be Famous
“But our corn harvest is really good this year. There are many corn kernels on each corn cob! Even the white corn, purple corn, and ck corn are chubby. It’s just that I’m not used to the color. Everyone says that our corn has struck gold. When the corn persones, he’ll want to exchange seeds with our family.” Liu Guixia said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Liu Guixia suddenly remembered something and turned to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, “By the way, Hehua said that she saw that the fruits of the raspberries you nted were red. Should we pick the fruits and sell them to the clinic, or should we directly pull the whole stalk out and dry it before selling it to the clinic? Didn’t you say that the whole stalk of the strawberry can be used as medicine?”
The strawberries should be ready by now. Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue and asked her to exin what to do.
“Xue Yan and I will go and take a look tomorrow morning,” Jiang Yue replied. “We haven’t decided yet. We’ll talk about it when we go and take a look.”
“Okay,” Liu Guixia smiled and said, “It’s not that ripe anyway. I think it’ll be a big hit in two days. It won’t be toote to tend to them by then.”
After the corn was steamed, they had their dinner.
There was a big pot of corn steamed tonight, and each person could have at least one.
Xue Wufu picked up a white corn and ate it. He immediately eximed, “This is much better than the yellow corn. Mother, you must keep the seeds!”
“Really?” Before Liu Guixia could taste it, Xue Wufu put it in her mouth and let her have a bite. Liu Guixia’s eyes immediately lit up. “It’s a lot softer and crunchy. It’ll be good for people with less teeth to eat this. I’ll cook two for Grandpater.”
Xue Sifu had taken the purple corn, but he only wanted half of it. He had given the other half to Xue Sanfu, and it tasted pretty good.
The ck corn was too dark and shiny. Even though the chicken was fine after eating a few, Xue Yifu and the others still did not dare to eat them. Jiang Yue brought them over and split them with Xue Yan. The peel was very thin, and it also tasted delicious.
Only one white, purple, and ck corn had been plucked, and they all tasted good. Naturally, they had to keep the seeds. Liu Guixia immediately said, “When the timees, we’ll each leave a stick to the corn people. Next year, they’ll be seeds we can nt.”
Those who didn’t eat the three types of corn could only eat yellow corn.
The yellow corn was a little hard, but because it was still tender, it didn’t taste too bad. It just didn’t taste as good as the other three corn.
While Jiang Yue and the others were eating corn, the news that her family had hired many people had spread in the vige. Most of them were surprised and happy, and some of them were even envious.
In the house of Wang Sufen.
When Wang Sufen heard about this, she was so angry that she couldn’t even eat dinner anymore. She said to her man, her son, and her two grandsons.
“My family is so poor. Even if they want to hire people, they should have thought of us first. Last time, we didn’t get a share in the manufacturing workshop.
“Now that their stalls want to hire people, we didn’t get a share either. I heard that they will spend money to get people to harvest their early rice and nt thete rice. We don’t get a single share!
“It’s fine if we don’t get a share, but how can their family be willing to spend money to let people from other viges work for them? They didn’t think about our family, who is in the same vige as them, for help!”
Wang Sufen’s son had a headache. His mother was being petty again. After holding it in for so many years, he couldn’t take it anymore and finally spoke up.
“Mother, you should change your temper. Everyone in the vige despises our family. It’s all because of you, you’re always sniggering about other people’s gossip. You’re always talking about whoever’s lives, and you even want to take advantage of them when they’re miserable.
“You’ll wipe the shoe for anyone that is rich. If you can’t get anything good from them, you’ll scold them. Don’t you find it annoying? Don’t make it so that the entire vige is having a good life, while our family will be the only one suffering. You were the one that made us get into this situation.”
