Uncle Li is also a smart man. When the peaches were ripe, he picked about three hundred kilograms and sent them to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative. One-third of these peaches were not in good condition, and one-third were infested with insects or had been pecked by birds.
, and another third is relatively good.
When the director of the commune supply and marketing cooperative saw the peaches, he looked very ugly and asked them to sort out the bad ones, otherwise they would not accept them. Uncle Li would not let up despite his good words, and said that there were many peaches in other places this year and the price must be reduced. It used to be a
It was divided into five and one kilogram, and now it has been reduced to one cent.
Li Sankui had a bad temper. He kicked down a basket of peaches and shouted, "Dad, I won't sell them anymore. Don't sell them even if we give them away."
Brother Fei paid six cents per pound for the purchase, but this bastard didn't raise the price and actually lowered the price to one cent. It's so evil.
Uncle Li slapped him on the back of the head and yelled angrily: "Who asked you to ruin things? Hurry up and pick up all the peaches for me."
When the director saw his tail raised, he said something sarcastic: "Brother Li, your son needs to be taught a good lesson when he goes back. He is so disrespectful, and I am only magnanimous. Someone else would never forgive me lightly."
At this time, Li Dakui also got angry and stood up and said: "Dad, according to his calculation, we can only sell more than three hundred kilograms of peaches for one or two yuan. I would rather give these peaches to others, at least give them away."
You can also get some favors.”
After saying that, he picked up the basket and left. Li Sankui followed him closely.
Uncle Li couldn't stop shouting after several times, and said helplessly to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Director, I'm sorry, my son has grown up because of his father. My peaches are not growing well this year, so I won't sell them."
One and a half cents is already very low, but I didn’t expect that the price would be lowered. Based on his temper when he was young, he would have beaten him all at once, but now that he is a grandfather, his temper has calmed down.
The supply and marketing cooperative became anxious when they saw it, and hurriedly stopped Uncle Li and said, "Brother, brother, don't leave. Let's talk to you if you have anything to say. I want all the good peaches from you, and the price will still be one cent from last year."
five."
Uncle Li shook his head and said: "Forget it, there are a lot of insects and birds in the mountains today, and there are not many good peaches. It's not easy to pick them here from the mountains. If you can't get a few bucks, you won't sell them. Let's take a rest."
Year!"
"Brother, brother, don't be like this..."
Uncle Li was still willing to listen to her, so he strode away. He picked out the good ones and hid them when he entered the mountain. Most of the ones that didn't look good or were bitten by insects or birds were given to Li Guihua, and the rest were sent to Li Guihua.
Eldest sister Li Chunhua’s home.
Li Guihua looked at the two large baskets of peaches and said with great distress: "Brother, you can always get a few bucks from the supply and marketing cooperative with so many peaches."
Uncle Li snorted coldly and said: "I would rather feed it to the dogs than sell it to him. Bastard, he charges us one and a half cents, and he turns around and sells it to the county side goods store for three cents and five cents. Earning the blood and sweat of poor people like us.
Money will be repaid one day."
This person must have not only hacked their family, but he also didn’t know how many victims he had.
Li Guihua sighed after hearing this and said: "Liu really likes to lower prices, but there is someone above him and we can't do anything about him. Brother, if we don't want to sell to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, we can sell it to the purchasing station in the county town."
Uncle Li waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this year's peaches are not growing well and cannot be sold at a high price. I have worked so hard to pick them out but can't sell them for a few bucks. I don't want to waste the effort. I'll leave these peaches for you to eat. I'm going back."
.”
No matter how Li Guihua tried to persuade him to stay, she could only send him out.
Peaches are also difficult to preserve, so Li Guihua picks out the best ones and sells them. She doesn't need money, just grain or other useful things. One pound of rice can be exchanged for three pounds of peaches, and whole grains can be exchanged for two pounds of peaches. One pound of rice can be exchanged for two pounds of peaches.
An egg can be exchanged for a peach.
The summer harvest has just finished, and each family has been allocated some grain. Adults are still happy to give out a pound and a half to exchange for some snacks for the children. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is not high.
Tian Shao was doing the questions, and Aunt Wei shouted from outside: "Da Ya, Da Ya, your sister is here."
As soon as he went out, he saw Erya, who had turned another shade darker. Tian Shao took a towel and washed her face.
Erya took out the things in the basket, including eggs, vegetables and about ten kilograms of peaches: "Sister, these peaches were sent by my uncle. Sister, my uncle's peaches are not growing well this year and they can't be sold.
go out."
She couldn't sell so many peaches and had to give them away, which made her heartache just thinking about it. Children from poor families have long been in charge, and Erya is also very frugal like Li Guihua.
Tian Shao ate one of the peaches Sankui sent before and gave the others to Gu Fei. He just thought of sending them.
Tian Shao said deliberately: "If it doesn't grow well, we can make preserved fruits! But preserved fruits require a lot of sugar, and we can't get so much sugar."
Erya rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything: "Sister, you have your exam in four days. My parents asked me to ask you, tell me what else you need here, and I will bring it to you tomorrow."
"No, I don't need anything here."
After saying that, she gave everything to Aunt Wei and led Erya into the house. She came to the table, opened the bottom drawer, took out three cans of meat and half a bag of sugar and put them in her backpack.
Erya had seen Tian Jianle's nephew eat canned meat, so she recognized him at a glance. She asked nervously: "Sister, where did all these canned meats come from?"
When he spoke, his voice trembled.
Tian Shao saw that her face turned pale and said speechlessly: "These are gifts from Tian Jianle and Sister Aihua. They are all favors that must be repaid in the future."
Erya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he came in the right direction. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she smiled and said: "Sister, I haven't eaten canned meat yet!"
When Tian Shao heard this, he took out another can and put it in his backpack: "Go out and find a cool place to eat. It's not good for the Wei family to see you eating here. Don't let Si Ya know, otherwise she will know that you are eating alone."
Making trouble with you."
After all, they were partners in the Wei family, and now that food was so expensive, she couldn't let Erya stay to eat.
Erya walked away, Wei Caixia came back with her back.
When she was washing her face, Tian Shao saw a beautiful watch on her wrist and praised: "Sister Caixia, your watch is really beautiful. What brand is it?"
When she gets the money later, she will also buy a watch. She doesn’t know how to tell the time and is not used to it.
"Bangdang..."
Wei Caixia accidentally knocked the enamel basin to the ground and water spilled all over the floor.
Aunt Wei came out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion, saw the enamel basin on the floor and scolded her with a straight face: "You damn girl, you are so old and careless. If this basin is broken, you have to spend money to repair it."
The two sons in the family would have to prepare two betrothal gifts in the future, and she, like Li Guihua, wanted to break the penny in half and spend it.
Wei Caixia calmed down and said, "Mom, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Tian Shao saw clearly that Wei Caixia overturned the enamel basin in panic after hearing her words. Thinking that Wei Caixia would have to hand over most of her salary, she suddenly asked: "Caixia, what is your watch?"
Brand? This watch is really beautiful. I will buy one to wear when I get rich."
This is not a lie. It is very inconvenient not to know the time without a watch. I will have to find a way to buy a watch when I save money in the future.
Wei Caixia wished she could sew Tian Shao's mouth shut.
