Tian Shao took Li Sankui to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought daily necessities such as paper, pens, salt and soy sauce, and also bought 50 cents worth of straw paper.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Tian Shao found a shady place to sit down and said to Li Sankui: "The peaches delivered here can no longer be placed in baskets in one place like before. They must be placed layer by layer, and each layer must be spread.
Licorice or dead leaves, and the peaches must be wrapped in straw paper so that they are not easily punctured."
She was also pressed for time, otherwise she would have asked someone to make a special basket for putting fruits. It was also because she didn't think it through before, so she could only wait until next time.
"Sister, don't you need to go to so much trouble?"
Tian Shao glanced at him and said: "Our peaches range from half a catty to two or three ounces. Crushing one costs two or three cents. Do you think it is better to go to more trouble or to crush the peaches?
?”
Even a fool knows how to choose. Li Sankui grinned and showed his white teeth: "Sister, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "Don't listen to me. When you see more in the future and encounter problems, you should make your own decision. Okay, it's getting late, you go back to Tianjiacun and go into the mountains early tomorrow."
Li Sankui responded and said: "Sister, this Brother Fei is very generous. Our mushrooms and fungus can be sold to him."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "There is no rush in this matter. I have to understand the market situation first before negotiating the price with him. You should also make this clear to your uncle and aunt."
Li Sankui scratched his head in embarrassment. He stayed at Tian's house that night, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight because he was so excited. He rushed home at dawn, and when he saw Uncle Li at home, he couldn't wait to tell Uncle Li what had happened.
he.
Uncle Li's first reaction was that Tian Shao had been deceived. In his mind, there were too many scammers in the city, and since Tian Shao had never been out, it was easy for him to be targeted by scammers.
Li Sankui shook his head and said, "No, no, my cousin said that Brother Fei was introduced by a friend she trusts. Dad, Brother Fei gave me a price of eight cents per catty, which is more than four times higher than what the supply and marketing cooperative offers."
After saying that, he took out the deposit and said, "Dad, he gave me a deposit of fifteen yuan, so he can't be a liar."
After scolding a bastard, Uncle Li immediately called his wife and the others back: "Go pick peaches, pick all the ripe ones."
In the past, four hundred kilograms of peaches could only be sold for six yuan, but now the other party gave me a deposit of fifteen yuan. Even if they were scammers, they would not lose money, so there was no hesitation in this transaction.
Although Li Sankui thought it was troublesome to wrap the peaches in straw paper and lay them with hay, he still told his family after picking the peaches.
Uncle Li slapped him in the face, causing Li Sankui to almost kneel on the ground: "You bastard, you didn't say anything about such an important matter. From now on, your cousin must tell us everything she says without missing a word, otherwise it will be a mistake."
I beat you to death."
My niece is very smart when she studies, so it is absolutely right to listen to her.
Uncle Li hunts in the mountains, and sometimes he has to spend the night outside chasing prey, so he is not afraid of traveling at night. After dinner, the father and son went to have a rest. They slept until about ten o'clock, then the four of them picked up peaches and set off.
Uncle Li walked in the front, holding a torch and lighting a torch, while the three brothers Li Dakui followed behind carrying peaches.
After all the men in the family went out, Sister-in-law Li happily said to Aunt Li: "Mom, the peach trees have a lot of fruit this year, and we can pick another two thousand kilograms. It costs six cents a kilogram, and our family can sell one peach this year.
It’s more than a hundred dollars.”
Grandpa Li bought these peach trees from the provincial capital more than ten years ago. He didn’t know what kind they were. Later they started to bear fruit. Because they tasted good and could be sold for money, the family has been taking care of them carefully, and now they have become one of the important sources of income for the family.
The eldest aunt looked at her and pointedly said: "Da Ya remembered how good our family was to her, so she helped us find a way out. If it were like your second uncle's family, do you think she would help?
"
Uncle Li's daughter-in-law Chen Honglian was very powerful. Da Ya would occasionally take her sister to live in the mountains for a few days. Not to mention snacks, Da Ya sisters didn't even have a bite to eat. Later, Chen Honglian's two younger brothers had accidents one after another.
The family moved to Chen's house. When Li Guihua's twins suffered from severe hemorrhage and needed money to save their lives, Tian Dalin went to Uncle Li's house to borrow money. Not only did he get a penny, but he was also ridiculed by Chen Honglian.
Li Guihua was so angry that she no longer wanted to associate with this brother. However, over the years, Uncle Li came to visit him several times. After all, he was a biological brother and sister. After many times, Li Guihua softened his heart and resumed contact.
Aunt Li said this specifically because Mrs. Li secretly muttered many times when she saw Uncle Li always sending things to Tian's house.
Sister-in-law Li blushed and said, "Mom, I'm young and ignorant, and I need you to teach me more."
This remark was very helpful to my eldest aunt, and she said, "If you have any spare time, help your relatives, so that they can help us when they get up in the future."
In fact, when they helped the Tian family, they were out of consideration for blood and family ties, not for any reward. Although Da Ya said at the beginning that he would definitely repay them in the future, the couple was only happy that the child knew how to be grateful and did not remember it. Unexpectedly, one day, the child would really
I helped them. The head of the family was right. This kid, Da Ya, is smart. As long as he gets enlightened, he will definitely be the most promising child in the family. I didn’t expect that saving someone will really enlighten me, so I have to do good deeds. Good people will be rewarded.
Sister-in-law Li nodded repeatedly: "Mom, I understand."
"Your father and I don't help everyone. Those with bad character are just as long as we, like your second uncle and second aunt, are okay on the surface."
At that time, my sister-in-law almost died. She and my second brother borrowed money to support her health. What could she expect if she ignored her life and death? If she didn't care that her mother-in-law was still alive, she would not be willing to interact with her.
Because each basket was covered with several layers of hay, the weight was reduced a lot, so Uncle Li and the others walked much faster. It took them only five hours to reach the destination, which was expected to take six hours.
Uncle Li was more cautious and first found a hidden place for his three sons to hide. He waited alone at the agreed place. After more than half an hour, someone came and exchanged slogans with the person.
The three brothers shouted out.
This man led the father and son for about ten minutes and then turned into a trail. Li Erkui became more and more worried as he walked: "Dad, are we really going to follow?"
Uncle Li was not afraid, and said: "What are you afraid of? I can still kill you. Your life is worthless, so leave quickly."
The main reason is that the other party has already given the money and they are not afraid of them taking away the things. As for the other party will be detrimental to them, that is even more impossible. If you do nothing to them without any grudge, you will be shot by the police if caught.
After walking on the trail for more than ten minutes and then walking up the mountain, they made several turns and came to the entrance of a ruined temple. The person who contacted them asked them to put the basket into the ruined temple, and then took them to another trail and said: "
Just go straight along this road and you'll reach the main road."
Seeing him turn around and leave, Erkui asked hurriedly: "The peaches we delivered this time weighed two hundred and sixty kilograms. According to the agreed price, it was twenty-eight yuan. You gave me a deposit of fifteen yuan, so you still have to give me some money."
Five dollars and eight cents."
The other party was startled, then said expressionlessly: "I only care about receiving the goods, not the money."
After saying this, the other party walked away quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Erkui wanted to catch up, but Uncle Li grabbed his arm and said, "Go back."
"Dad, he hasn't paid the balance yet!"
Uncle Li said helplessly: "Everyone said they don't care about money, so it's useless for you to chase me. Well, I have my own mind on this matter, so just leave it alone."
How could you ignore it? That was only five yuan and eighty cents. The couple had saved only ten yuan for their private house after two years of saving.
Li Sankui explained: "Second brother, I do big business and won't rely on my little money."
Yesterday they gave peaches to Brother Fei, who turned around and gave them a bagful of things. After they came out and opened it, they found that there were candies, canned meat, Fuqiang flour and other good things inside. Those things were worth a lot of money.
Brother Fei was so generous, how could he rely on their few dollars? However, the pastries and canned meat that Tian Shao gave him were eaten up on the way, so he didn't mention it after returning home.
Li Dakui said naively: "Even if we default on the debt, we won't lose money."
When they reached the main road, Uncle Li asked Li Dakui to go back with Li Erkui, and he wanted to take his young son into the county town. Li Erkui was unwilling and said he wanted to go into the city with Uncle Li. Unfortunately, this proposal was rejected by Uncle Li.
Well, Li Erkui is still very thoughtful, but he doesn't dare to let him meet this ancient brother, otherwise who knows what will happen.
Li Erkui was unwilling but did not dare to go against his father's words, and reluctantly followed Li Dakui back.
Uncle Li first went to Gu Fei and agreed that the second batch of goods would be paid at four in the morning like this time: "Then the money..."
Gu Fei understood immediately when he heard it and said with a smile: "As long as we are sure that the goods are okay, the remaining balance will be paid to you penny by cent."
If it's fraud, for Brother Le's sake, I won't care about it, but I won't deal with him anymore. To be on the safe side, that place has to be abandoned.
Uncle Li smiled and said: "Of course I can trust my little brother. The family is very busy right now. I won't be here after I deliver the things tomorrow. Please give this money to my big sister."
Gu Fei nodded and said, "Uncle Li, I forgot to tell Sister Da Ya before that the price of crushed peaches has to be calculated separately."
Uncle Li's heart skipped a beat, but he said generously: "Forget it, I'll give it to your brothers to eat."
Gu Fei felt that he was acting grandly and said with a smile: "That's not good. It's not easy for you to pick out the peaches from the mountains. How can you eat them for nothing! Crushed peaches are worth two pounds per pound, what do you think?"
Crushed peaches cannot be sold, so they will be given to the brothers to eat.
This price was better than the peaches sold before, so Uncle Li agreed without any hesitation.
Gu Fei added: "Uncle Li, I still accept mountain goods here. As long as the goods are good and the price is good, it's not a problem."
Uncle Li agreed and said with a smile: "My little brother is so generous. If I have any good things, I will definitely send them to you."
He did have a few good things in his hand, including several pieces of leather, but he didn't know the market price and decided to listen to Da Ya's advice first. This incident made Tian Shao's status in Uncle Li's heart skyrocket, surpassing that of
