Chapter 223 Only sincerity can change the sincerity
When she came back from her parents' home, she heard someone say that two respectable relatives came to her family and they even gave out sweets to the kids on the team. After asking about it, she found out that it was Qiaohui's cousin, her cousin, and her cousin-in-law who were here.
Last time I told Wu Shufang to help introduce her and take Qiaoyan out. If I can make some money, I would find an in-law's family in the city. After that, I would give them some betrothal gifts.
Wu Shufang, a stingy person, was afraid that Qiaoyan would steal her family's Qiaohui job, so Qiaoyan and her cousin quietly left.
Wu Shufen's face suddenly darkened, "His third aunt, how can it be so easy to find her husband's family? Besides, they have already fallen asleep after traveling all day. You go back!"
Aunt Zhou held her hand: "Sister-in-law, please let Qiaoyan meet her cousin, and we'll leave after saying a few words."
Wu Shufang looked at her troubledly: "They have already gone to bed. It's such a cold day, what should I do if I catch a cold? You go back first, and I will help you ask in the morning."
Seeing that she was no longer bothered, Aunt Zhou could only nod: "Then remember to ask for us!"
Wu Shufang said yes, closed the door and went back to the main room. She told Lin Lan about Aunt Zhou's visit, and whispered to her: "Her Qiaoyan has been spoiled by them. No matter how busy you are with your business, you can't agree to take care of her."
She goes out."
Lin Lan nodded, "I understand, aunt."
Everyone talked for a while. Wu Shufang thought that Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang had never walked such a long mountain road. She was worried that their legs would hurt, so she added some water to boil their feet.
After the three people had their feet burned, they slept separately under Wu Shufang's arrangement.
Lin Lan and Wu Shufang slept in their room. Wu Shufang specially took two dowry quilts that Xu Hongjue was reluctant to use and gave them to Lin Lan.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, but it didn't feel cold at all.
Lin Lan took a pen and paper to record the purchase price of several beans, took out one hundred yuan from his bag, and handed it to Wu Shufang: "Aunt, here is one hundred yuan, I will lend it to you as capital.
"
"The price of old pumpkins is high in winter. If they are put on the market in large quantities next year, just charge them according to the market price at that time. Beans should not be flat or rotten. No matter how big or small the old pumpkins are, it is best to eat them with more noodles."
Wu Shufang's hand holding the money was trembling, she looked at Lin Lan with red eyes, her lips trembled, and she suddenly shed tears: "Xiao Lan, the best thing about aunt's life is to have a good sister, who is several decades old
I have never seen so much money, Xiaolan, my aunt will always remember your great kindness."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Aunt, please don't say that. My mother said that when you are at home, you are the best to her. Relatives should support each other." She felt that there is no good relationship between people for no reason.
There is no hatred without reason, only sincerity can replace sincerity.
Wu Shufang nodded: "Thank you, Xiaolan."
Lin Lan smiled and went to bed and lay down.
Wu Shufang put the money away, looked at Lin Lan and asked: "Xiao Lan, we have never sold old pumpkins. How much do you think I should pay them per pound?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Auntie, my eldest sister and cousin next door are also helping me collect old pumpkins. They earn two cents per pound. You can set a price based on your reference. However, in business, only if the water flows slowly can you do it for a long time.
"
Wu Shufang thought for a moment and said, "How about I give them five cents a pound?"
Lin Lan nodded after hearing this: "Okay." The road in the mountains is not easy to walk. It takes two days to go back and forth. One trip can't carry much, so the extra penny of profit is also deserved.
Wu Shufang smiled and nodded: "It's been a tiring day, so I won't disturb you. You go to bed early and I'll go talk to your uncle."
"Okay!" Lin Lan originally thought that she would not be able to sleep in bed, maybe because she was too tired, so she fell asleep shortly after falling down.
Wu Shufang excitedly went to the room where Zhou Dashan and his son were sleeping, and excitedly told the father and son that Lin Lan had lent them a hundred yuan: "Old man, Stone, you have to keep your eyes peeled and put it away.
Give the goods to Xiaolan."
Zhou Shitou stared at his mother: "Oh my God! We won't be able to pay back a hundred yuan at a loss, right?"
Zhou Dashan glared at him: "Do the math, you can earn three cents from a pound of pumpkin. If we run all over Shishan Ridge, we will earn enough money to return to Xiaolan. Work hard and don't follow the example of the second brother or let me down.
."
Zhou Shitou patted his chest: "Mom, don't worry, old man, as long as I can make money, I'm not afraid of any hardship."
Wu Shufang nodded and said: "Old man, I will get you something tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, Shitou and I will go to the brigade leader's house and ask him to help gather people..."
The father and son agreed excitedly, and after lying down, they talked excitedly for a while before falling asleep at almost dawn.
Early the next morning, at dawn, father and son Zhou Dashan and Zhou Shitou took a bag of Dachongjiu, analgesic ointment, and a bag of brown sugar, and went to the home of team leader Zhou Xiangui.
Zhou Xiangui is Zhou Dashan's cousin. After returning from the army, he became the captain of the brigade. During the great famine, he led everyone to quietly plant ginger, taro and red potatoes in the mountains. He asked the bachelors in the mountains to carry ginger and taro on their backs. The red potatoes went out of the mountains and returned to their wives.
Home.
Zhou Xiangui's hair had turned white, and his bronze face was deeply etched with wrinkles. He looked at the father and son happily: "I heard that you have a relative coming to your home!"
"Well!" Zhou Dashan handed over the thing in his hand, "Uncle, this is what Shufang's niece and nephew-in-law brought. I'll give it to you to try."
"Dachongjiu, analgesic ointment, and brown sugar are all good things!" Zhou Xiangui smiled and stretched out his two big, calloused hands like cattail fans, took the things Zhou Dashan sent, and looked at the father and son, "
Are they really going to harvest the beans?”
Zhou Dashan said with a smile: "Well! Not only do they have to collect beans, but they also collect old pumpkins and dried mushrooms... They all collect these things. The price of dried mushrooms and dried fungus is half a percent higher than the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"We send beans and pumpkins to Shilian, and we charge them according to their prices in Shilian. I heard from Guoliang that their beans cost ten cents per catty, and Dongyue Lao Pumpkin costs five cents per catty!"
Zhou Xiangui took a puff of the leaf cigarette and thought for a moment: "Then did they say what standards they would charge for it, and what the price would be for good quality and average?"
He thought to himself that a pound of white beans was three cents more expensive than handing over to the supply and marketing cooperative, let alone Old Pumpkin. People in the mountains had enough to eat. It was better to come from outside! Old Pumpkin could also be exchanged for money.
Zhou Dashan said: "Xiaolan said that the beans should be full-bodied, with no dents inside, and she wants the rotten ones. As long as the beans are not too old or damaged, and have the same quality as the ones we hand over to the supply and marketing cooperative, they will be fine. Sichuan peppercorns,
They also harvest vine peppers, fungus, grass fruits, grasshoppers... these aniseeds."
Zhou Xiangui looked at the father and son: "Okay! I know they came to collect dry goods and beans from us to take care of your family. They come to collect them and save us from sending them to the supply and marketing cooperative in a few days. I will gather everyone later
When you get to the brigade, you can also bring your niece and the others over, and we can all talk face to face."
"Hey! Let's go back and tell them."
The father and son came out of the captain's house and walked towards the mountains. They planned to see if they had caught anything in the trap.
