At six o'clock, Nie Suozhu came to a flat ground with three baskets of vegetables. At this time, there were several people on the flat ground. He took down the two baskets tied to the bicycle. Another basket containing chickens and ducks was left.
Didn't move.
This piece of flat land was a small vegetable market spontaneously formed by farmers who came to buy vegetables from the countryside. Nie Suozhu was not that well-informed, and he only found out about it after Zhao Kang told him.
After he unloaded all the vegetables, Li Guihua, who had arrived here in advance, handed him two eggs and said: "Don't worry, eat something warm first to cushion your stomach and then go deliver them."
After the Lantern Festival, Nie Suozhu started selling vegetables, first at a transportation company. Unexpectedly, after a few days of selling, he was reported and arrested by the Red Sleeve Hoop people. Everyone in the Tian family was frightened and hurriedly asked Zhao Kang for help.
Then, Nie Suozhu was educated and released.
This time I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to sell vegetables anymore. But in early March, Grandma Nie fell ill again, and all the money for hospitalization was borrowed. Nie Suozhu thought about it and sent a telegram to Tian Shao again and again.
I received a letter from Tian Shao a week ago. There was only a photo in the letter. In the photo, there were several people selling vegetables in the square in front of Dashilar. This photo was more useful than any words. Nie Suozhu started buying vegetables again. When he was reported again,
When the people in the Red Sleeve Band came to arrest him, Nie Suozhu took out the photo and showed it to them.
It's okay for people to sell vegetables in front of Dashilan, which shows that private vegetable selling is allowed in Forty-Nine Cities. Private vegetable selling is allowed in Forty-Nine Cities, but why not in Yongning County? Is it possible that they are more patient than the law enforcement agencies in Forty-Nine Cities?
The man in Hongxiuhuan was suppressed and did not arrest him. Then Nie Suozhu first moved his household registration to Tianjia Village and purchased eggs, fresh vegetables and poultry from nearby villages.
Nie Suozhu took the egg and said with a cheerful smile: "Okay."
Knowing that Nie Suozhu sells vegetables, people who know them who want to buy chickens or ducks will inform them in advance, and Nie Suozhu will deliver them in the early morning.
At first there were only one or two, but later Li Aihua, Section Chief He and Li Dakui spread the word with people around them, and more people decided to order.
It was past seven o'clock after delivering the chicken, duck and vegetables. Nie Suozhu returned to the vegetable market and found that there was only a handful of water spinach left.
Nie Suozhu always orders the vegetables with the villagers in advance, and then picks them up the next morning. Because they have just been picked not long ago, the vegetables are very popular. Even if they are one or two cents more expensive than supply and marketing cooperatives or food factories, buyers are still interested.
willing.
Nie Suozhu said with a smile: "Mom, let's go back!"
The two returned to the house on Huishan Street, had breakfast and then returned to the team. It was already half past eight. Both of them were deducted two points for being late, so the villagers had no objection.
At noon, Nie Suozhu gave Li Guihua twenty yuan: "Mom, I made seventy-eight yuan last month, this is for you."
If Li Guihua and Tian Dalin hadn't helped collect vegetables and sold vegetables at the vegetable market, he wouldn't have earned so much. Therefore, Li Guihua should be given some money both in public and private matters.
Li Guihua did not shirk. She and her husband deserved a share of the money after their busy schedule. Of course, Erya's salary plus Nie Suozhu's earnings were enough for the old lady's medical expenses and household expenses. As for having children in the future,
Just subsidize it from time to time.
After work, the two returned to the county town, but one went back to the house on Huishan Street and the other went back to the family building.
When Er Ya returned home, she saw Nie Suozhu and said, "Sister-in-law came to see me just now and said that Public Security Zhao and Officer Li were having a treat on Sunday and wanted a chicken, a duck and two fish. I will send them over then, and you can rest."
Take a break."
Nie Suozhu said: "Gongan Zhao and the others have helped us a lot, but we don't charge for the chickens, ducks and fish."
Li Aihua helped him attract a lot of business. Anyone at the tax bureau who wanted to buy chicken, duck and other meat and vegetables had Nie Suozhu deliver it.
Erya shook her head and said: "They know my family is in trouble, so they won't accept it as a gift. Let's calculate the cost of the chickens and ducks, and I'll give them the fish I caught. By the way, I remember that Mr. Zhao likes to eat snails very much. How much do you want my mother to take?"
Raise a catty of snails and send them over together when the time comes."
She is not stupid either. They are not the only ones selling vegetables now, but they can earn so much because of the help of others. And the reason why these people help her is because of her sister.
"I won't bother you, mother. I'll go to the countryside to collect two pounds and raise them at home."
"That's fine."
When the two of them were lying on the bed at night, Erya touched her belly and said, "Suozhu, you said we have been married for almost a year, why are we not pregnant yet? Do you think there is something wrong with my health?"
Nie Suozhu is not in a hurry about this matter at all: "My mother-in-law is marrying my father-in-law's eldest sister who was born in his third year. Erya, we have been married for less than a year, so we are not in a hurry."
He actually thinks it would be better for the child to come later. Grandma is in poor health now and has to have people around her, which will also cost a lot of money. If Erya gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, the pressure will double.
Erya was very anxious and said: "How can it be the same? Now many places have started family planning. I want to seize the time to have a child so that I can have another child before the family planning is implemented."
She felt that one child was too few, and what if the first child was a girl and she was not allowed to have one? Erya still wanted to have a son, so that she would not be pointed at and scolded as a hen that does not lay eggs. When Li Guihua was a child,
All the injustices she suffered were engraved in her heart.
Nie Suozhu also heard about this and said: "If the national policy really allows only one child to be born, then we will have one. I like both boys and girls."
He has no obsession with continuing the family line, otherwise he would not marry into the family.
Erya didn't think so: "If I only give birth to one daughter, the people in the village will definitely say that all six of us sisters are like mothers and can't have a son. Then the marriage of the eldest sister and the third sister will have to be discussed in the future.
influence."
Nie Suozhu said: "If a family has a daughter like my eldest sister, it is better than having ten sons."
Erya was so angry that she felt that he was going against her.
Seeing the bad news, Nie Suozhu immediately changed the subject and said, "I made four yuan and sixty cents today, which is fifty cents more than yesterday!"
Erya was not satisfied and said, "It would be great if every day could be like the Dragon Boat Festival."
On the Dragon Boat Festival, they sold ten chickens and twenty ducks, plus fish, eggs and vegetables, and earned twenty-five yuan. One day's income was as much as her monthly salary.
Nie Suozhu laughed and said: "This only happens during the holidays. Who would eat chicken and duck every day on weekdays? But I can make so much in a day, and I am satisfied."
He now earns four or five yuan when he is good, and two yuan when he is at his worst. Not many people can compare with this. Speaking of which, it is also thanks to his aunt. If she had not encouraged him and sent him the photo, he would not have been able to do this.
Already.
Erya felt comfortable. Since Nie Suozhu started selling food, although some people ridiculed her for marrying a speculator, her money was much looser. At least she no longer had to worry about buying medicine for Grandma Nie. Thinking of this, she said no more.
