Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 245: Sweet Zongzi and Salty Zongzi



People in their area were generally not short. Even though Su Danhong’s father-in-law, Father Ji, was old, he was still about 1.75 meters tall.

There are also Ji Jianguo, Ji Jianye , and Ji Jianwen, who were all about 1.78 meters tall. None of them were short, but the tallest one was her man.

Especially in the past few years. He grew a bit and was almost 1.9 meters tall.

Even if he was placed in a group of tall people, his height was still very up there.

Su Danhong herself was not short either. She was about 1.68 meters tall.

And she liked tall men. Men could be average-looking, but their height must meet her requirements.

Hearing his wife's compliment, Ji Jianyun showed his big white teeth and looked at his wife with a light in his eyes.

Su Danhong glared at him angrily and warned him to calm down, the children were around.

“Li Zhi has lost a lot of weight,” Ji Jianyun said to get back to the previous topic.

“He has lost some weight, but he will have a vacation soon. After the high school entrance examination in June, he can take a lot of time off,” Su Danhong said.

Teachers all had paid vacations from mid-June to around September 1st. That was about two and a half months.

However, that would be around when Ji Yunyun was to give birth. There won’t be not much time to rest. Without Li Zhi, who would Ji Yunyun rely on to take care of the child?

Ji Jianyun shook his head. “Yunyun is too immature.”

“If you have time, go up and have tea with father,” Su Danhong said.

She had no interest in hearing more about Ji Yunyun.

Ji Jianyun smiled and stopped talking. Everyone had their own family. Although they were brother and sister, it could not be compared to husband and wife.

After ordering foam boxes to hold cherries last year, Ji Jianyun discovered the benefits of using foam boxes. It was easy to carry, and also easy to load into the car.

Once boxes were packed, they could be stacked, which was very convenient.

Moreover, there were some people in the college town who would just buy the cherries by the box. They were very rich.

Ji Jianyun's reputation had really grown, especially among Uncle Gao and his group. They basically didn’t like going to other stores to spend money.

For example, once Ji Jianyun's strawberries were ripe, Uncle Gao sent a box to each of his sons and daughters-in-law.

Ten pounds of strawberries were sent.

But within a few days, they called and said they wanted more.

What else was there to do about it? Of course more were delivered. If there was a truck available and payment was made, then it could be delivered in this way.

The two shops in the college town made a lot of money. Lao Qin and Su Jindang came to pick up the goods, and other random items. Ji Jianyun also asked Ji Jianhe to deliver the strawberries.

It was delicious and not expensive. Everyone loved to eat it. More people have money, so it’s not uncommon to buy a pound and a half of it to eat at home.

After the busy strawberry season, it was time for the watermelon season.

Watermelon season had big watermelons. It was perfect to eat during the hot summer.

Ji Jianyun had so many people working under him, so he was not as busy as before.

He used to have things he had to do in person, but now there are Su Zhumao, Xu Heshan, and Ji Jianhe.

Ji Jianhe was responsible for delivering goods and collecting money at some nearby stores. Xu Heshan and Su Zhumao were responsible for delivering watermelons. They went to Jiangshui’s market to sell them. They went out in the morning and came back around noon.

After coming back at noon, Ji Jianye was responsible for driving the goods to the college town. Usually when he came back, it would be around seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The goods were then sold the next day after delivery.

It had to be done like this. Who told Ji Jianyun to only have one truck now? Lao Qin needed his truck almost every day, so his truck couldn’t be borrowed. Ji Jianyun didn’t plan on borrowing it either. He was going to buy a big one by the end of this year!

But for now, he didn’t have enough money.

Su Zhumao and Xu Heshan were very useful. They usually transported watermelons to Jiangshui City in the morning to sell them. When they came back, they would calculate the money and then rest for the rest of the day.

But usually, both of them would do some household chores.

For example, Xu Heshan married Ji Yulan at the beginning of this year. He was also a capable man. Within two months of marrying him, Ji Yulan became pregnant.

Three months had passed when Ji Jianyun told Su Danhong. She was very happy for the couple.

“The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Tell Heshan that when he comes over tomorrow, he can bring his wife over and help me. I have to make a lot of zongzi,” Su Danhong said.

She really liked Ji Yulan, so she wanted to ask her to come over and visit. Making zongzi was the best excuse to do this because she also asked Wang Honghua, Li Yucui and the others to come together.

She saw Xu Heshan the day before yesterday. When they first got married, he was still tall and thin. Now, he had put on a lot of fat. He had a smile on his face. Everyone could tell at a glance that Ji Yulan took good care of him.

“Okay.” Ji Jianyun smiled.

He told Xu Heshan and Xu Heshan agreed.

When he came back, he told Ji Yulan about this. She smiled and said, “I haven't been to sister-in-law's place since I got married. I'll go there with you tomorrow.”

Xu Heshan saw her reaction and he knew that she had a good relationship with the boss lady, so he was no longer worried.

Ji Yulan came over the next day.

Su Danhong smiled and said, “You came early, Honghua and the others will be here in awhile.”

“How many people did sister-in-law ask to come over?” Ji Yulan asked with a smile.

“I asked them all to come over if they were free. There is a lot of zongzi to make,” Su Danhong replied.

She prepared sweet zongzi and salty zongzi.

In her previous life, her family lived in the south, so she ate salty zongzi. In this life, she ate sweet zongzi. People here generally ate sweet zongzi. At the beginning, she was not used to it.

So she made salted pork belly zongzi to eat by herself. Unexpectedly, Ji Jianyun ate it and said it was delicious.

After Mother Ji ate it, she also said it was delicious. She commented, “In the past, many people in our area ate salty zongzi. But then, for some reason, they all ate sweet zongzi, and now we don’t see a lot of salty zongzi. Iit tastes really good.”

The other women came over soon. As for the children, they were taken to the orchard on the mountain. Once they were there, they didn’t want to leave. They caught bugs, collected eggs, and more. If they were given something to do, all of them were happy.

So, this group of mothers got together and started making zongzi while talking and laughing.

There were seven or eight people. Some were responsible for making the zongzi and some were responsible for cooking it. The division of labor was clear.
