The three of them went to the department store and bought another 20 kilograms of sugar. They changed several villages the next day and continued the same process. The harvest was not as good as the previous day, but they still had a net profit of 105.
The three of them divided the accounts according to the old practice, and the money in Li Manjun's pocket finally rose to 212 yuan. Excluding Wang Xiaojuan's 100 yuan note, she still had 112 yuan left.
Touching the thick change in his pocket, Li Manjun felt that the hard work of these two days was worth it.
She was so busy for two consecutive days that no one was seen in the morning and evening. She came home in the evening covered in stinky sweat. When she met Wang Xiaojuan's burning eyes, she suddenly remembered the "blind date" that had been forgotten.
I am so addicted to making money that I almost forgot about it!
"I'm going to boil water and take a bath." Before his mother Wang Xiaojuan could say anything, Li Manjun rushed into the kitchen and lit the hot water to make herself look busy.
Wang Xiaojuan stood in the courtyard in shock for a long time. She finally discovered that Li Manjun seemed to be a different person these days and was actually dishonest.
"What have you been doing these two days? Why did I hear people say that they saw you and Liu Yan, my sister and my brother, wandering around the countryside, picking up rags?"
Wang Xiaojuan came to the kitchen door in confusion and asked, "Why can't a big girl pick up rags? Isn't this embarrassing!"
Now that she asked, Li Manjun didn't intend to hide it anymore. He put the kettle on the stove and replied with his hands on his hips: "Yes, I'm going to pick up rags."
"Sister, are you really going?" Li Lijun came over carrying her rice bowl, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Li Jianjun brought over the remaining meat and vegetables.
"The rice is warm in the rice cooker. Sister, please eat some first." Li Jianjun urged with concern.
Li Manjun smiled at his younger brother, took the vegetable bowl, and started eating the rice directly.
Li Lijun came forward and asked in surprise: "Sister, are you really collecting rags?"
Li Manjun nodded while cooking. After a busy day, her belly was already hungry, so she ate a bowl of rice in a few big mouthfuls, and then another bowl.
Li Lijun stared blankly at her like a wolf pouncing on food, swallowed the rice with difficulty, and hurriedly went to pour her a glass of water.
After Li Manjun drank the water and picked up a bowl of rice, he said to everyone: "I'm serious, Mom, I think it's good to pick up rags."
Wang Xiaojuan had come to her senses at this moment, looked at Li Manjun's sweaty face, frowned and asked: "Where did you get the money?"
"Where's the hundred dollars I gave you?"
When Li Lijun heard this, she immediately quit, "Mom, why did you give my sister a hundred yuan?"
Wang Xiaojuan ignored her and only asked Li Manjun whether he had bought any clothes.
When Li Manjun said he didn't buy it, Wang Xiaojuan immediately became angry, but just before the slap fell, Li Manjun stuffed the blue note into her arms.
"What are you going to wear on the blind date tomorrow? Don't tell me you're going to wear this!" Wang Xiaojuan was so angry that she picked up rags. What kind of serious job is this?
Li Lijun and Li Jianjun asked in surprise: "Eldest sister wants to go on a blind date?"
They don't know anything!
Li Manjun looked at Li Lijun, "Can you lend me your white dress for a day?"
Li Lijun readily agreed. Of course it would be fine for her sister to wear it, but the point is, who is her brother-in-law?
Li Lijun and Li Jianjun surrounded Li Manjun and asked her who she wanted to go on a blind date with.
"Are you handsome? Are you as handsome as my cute tiger?" Li Lijun only cares about appearance, she doesn't want a short and frustrated brother-in-law.
Li Jianjun was worried. The young man was not mentally prepared for his sister to marry into someone else's family. When Li Lijun asked him, he would say, "Good-looking men are not good things."
Li Manjun was delighted: "I haven't even written my horoscope yet. I'll know it only when I see it."
Distracted by the two siblings, Wang Xiaojuan temporarily forgot about her daughter's business of picking up rags, put away the blue notes, and took a new one worth twenty yuan to pay for Li Manjun's fare.
He told her: "Get dressed up tomorrow. Lijun, didn't you just buy a pair of rubber sandals? Give them to your sister to wear for a day."
Li Lijun was a little unhappy. She had worn the dress several times, so she didn't think it had anything to do with it, but she hadn't worn the Roman-style rubber sandals out yet.
But the white dress needs to be paired with shoes to look good. Alas, "Okay, okay, sister, please buy me more delicious food later. I also want orange-flavored soda."
Li Manjun responded with a smile, patted his younger brother and sister on the shoulders, brought the hot water into the bedroom and took a bath.
Wang Xiaojuan felt that she had saved another amount of money, but she did not criticize Li Manjun anymore.
However, it is absolutely impossible to pick up rags. How much money can you make with a few cents of rags? It looks dirty and tiring. It is not a job that girls should do.
At night, the couple was lying on the bed. Wang Xiaojuan pushed Li Dawei up and said, "Your daughter said she wants to work as a rag collector. You are not allowed to agree. Do you understand?"
Li Dawei went to the countryside today to do a day of birth control work. He was exhausted mentally and physically from arguing with the mothers-in-law. He was sleepy to death and responded perfunctorily, "I know, I'll talk to her later."
Wang Xiaojuan then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
"Sister, just wear it like this and keep it charming to death!"
Early in the morning, Li Lijun's proud voice came from the side sleeper.
Li Manjun looked at the graceful and pure beauty in a white dress in the mirror, stomped on her somewhat tight Roman rubber sandals, brushed her half-shouldered hair, and was quite satisfied.
However, the lip color is a bit light and lackluster. It would be perfect if I had a bean paste lipstick.
Just as she was thinking about it, Li Lijun mysteriously took something from under the pillow and asked Li Manjun to close her eyes.
"What are you going to do?" Li Lijun always played pranks in her memory, and Li Manjun's suspicious question was almost subconscious.
Li Lijun said coquettishly: "Don't worry about it, just close your eyes~"
Li Manjun warned her not to mess with herself, then squinted her eyes and closed them.
There was a cold feeling on the lips, and something was lightly painted on it, and it was smooth and moist.
Li Manjun opened her eyes, and Li Lijun stepped aside proudly, revealing the mirror, "Dang Dang Dang!"
"Does it look good? I bought it new." Li Lijun lowered her voice and whispered.
Li Manjun looked at the faint pink color on her lips, which was color-changing lip balm.
The person in the mirror slightly curved the corners of her mouth, with a gentle and charming look, and her eyes were clear, which contained a fortitude that was completely different from her soft appearance.
Li Lijun was stunned for a moment. She couldn't tell what had changed, but she just felt that her sister had become a hundred times more beautiful than before.
Today is Saturday, no need to go to class, the whole family is here.
Aunt Wu knocked on the door and came in and asked, "Is Manjun okay?"
Li Lijun led Li Manjun out, and when she saw everyone's astonished eyes, she said, "My sister is pretty, isn't she?"
Li Jianjun's eyes shone, "Sister, you look so good dressed like this. You should also dress like this in the future. They are more beautiful than the female stars on the posters."
Aunt Wu was stunned for a while, then came to her senses and praised her sincerely for being a beautiful girl.
"Be careful what you say. Although we girls have to be reserved, we can't be too reserved so that people can't guess your thoughts. Do you hear me?"
Wang Xiaojuan stood under the car window and warned her, feeling a little worried. She was really afraid that Zhao Yong, who had no father, no mother, and no employer, would fall in love with such a good girl like hers.
Aunt Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm still here, and I will take care of it for our daughter."
