Chapter 62 Weird

Uncle Li is also a shrewd person. When the peaches were ripe, he picked three hundred catties and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune.One-third of these peaches are poor-looking, one-third are infested with insects or pecked by birds, and one-third are relatively good.

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune saw the ugly faces of these peaches and asked them to pick out the bad ones, otherwise they would not accept them.Uncle Ren Li didn't let go of all the good words, and said that this year there are a lot of peaches in other places and the price must be reduced.In the past, it was five cents for one catty, but now it is reduced to one cent.

Li Sankui has a bad temper. He kicked down a basket of peaches and shouted, "Father, I won't sell it anymore. Let's give it away and don't sell him."

Brother Fei offered six cents a catty to buy it, and this bastard would drop the price to one cent without raising the price.

Uncle Li slapped him on the back of the head, angrily said: "Who told you to spoil things? Quickly pick up all the peaches for me."

When the director saw that his tail was up, he still said sarcastic words: "Brother Li, your son has to teach him well when he goes back. If he doesn't know how to flatter him, I'm the only one who is magnanimous, and I will never forgive him lightly."

Now Li Dakui lost his temper, and stood up and said, "Father, according to his calculations, we can only sell more than 300 catties of peaches for one or two dollars. I would rather give these peaches to others, at least I will pay them back if I give them away." Can get favors."

After speaking, he picked up the basket and left. Li Sankui followed closely after seeing him.

Uncle Li yelled a few times but couldn't help it, and said helplessly to the director of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Director, I'm sorry, I can't help it. The peaches in my family haven't grown well this year, so I won't sell them."

One cent five is already very low, but I didn't expect to lower the price.According to his temper when he was young, it is estimated that he will fight all over, but now that he is a grandfather, his temper has also restrained.

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative saw it but became anxious, and hurriedly stopped Uncle Li and said, "Brother, brother, don't go, let's talk about it if you have something to say. I want all the good ones for your peaches, and the price is still the same as last year's one cent." five."

Uncle Li shook his head and said: "Forget it, there are many insects and birds in the mountains today, and there are not many good peaches. It is not easy to pick here from the mountains. If you can't get a few dollars, you won't sell them. Just take a rest." year!"

"Brother, brother, don't be like this..."

Uncle Li was still willing to listen to her, so he strode away.Pick out the good ones and hide them at the place where you enter the mountain. Most of the ones that don’t look good or have been bitten by insects and birds are given to Li Guihua, and the rest are sent to the home of the eldest sister Li Chunhua.

Li Guihua looked at the two big baskets of peaches, and said distressedly: "Brother, you can buy so many peaches at the supply and marketing cooperative for some money."

Uncle Li snorted coldly and said, "I'd rather give it to a dog than sell him. You bastard, take us a quarter, and he'll sell it to the county sideline commodity store for a quarter. Earn the blood and sweat of us poor people." Money, there will be retribution one day."

This person must have not only hacked their family, but he didn't know how many victims there were.

Li Guihua sighed when she heard this, and said, "The surname Liu really likes to lower the price, but we can't do anything to him because he has people above him. Brother, we don't sell the supply and marketing cooperatives of the communes, we can sell them to the purchasing stations in the county."

Uncle Li waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this year's peaches don't grow well and can't be sold at a high price. I didn't want to waste the effort to pick them out. I'll leave these peaches for you to eat. I'm going back." .”

No matter how Ren Li Guihua tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless, so he 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 either, food or other useful things are fine, one catty of rice can be exchanged for three catties of peaches, coarse grains can be exchanged for two catties of peaches, and one egg can be exchanged for one peach.

Just after the harvest in summer, each family got some food.Adults are still willing to spend a catty and a half catty to exchange snacks for their children. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is not high.

Tian Shao was working on a problem, and Aunt Wei shouted outside: "Da Ya, Da Ya, your sister is here."

As soon as he went out, he saw Er Ya who had another shade, Tian Shao took a towel and washed her face.

Erya took out the things in the basket, including eggs, vegetables, and a dozen catties of peaches: "Sister, these peaches were sent by my uncle. Sister, the peaches at my uncle's house are not growing well this year, and they can't even be sold." go out."

There are so many peaches that can't be sold for money and can only be given away. Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.The children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and Erya is as frugal as Li Guihua.

Tian Shao ate one of the peaches sent by Sankui before, and gave the others to Gu Fei, just as he was thinking about it, he sent them.

Tian Shao deliberately said: "It doesn't grow well, so we can make candied fruit! But preserved fruit needs a lot of sugar, and we can't get so much sugar."

Er Ya rolled her eyes, saying this is equivalent to not saying: "Sister, you have an exam in four days. Parents asked me to ask you, if you still need anything here, just tell me, and I will send it tomorrow."

"No, I don't need anything here."

After speaking, she gave everything to Aunt Wei and led Erya into the house.She came to the table and opened the bottom drawer, took three canned meats and half a bag of sugar from it and put them in her basket.

Erya had seen Tian Jianle's nephew eat canned meat, so she recognized it at a glance. She asked nervously, "Sister, where did you get so many canned meat?"

His voice trembled when he spoke.

Seeing that her little face turned pale, Tian Shao said speechlessly: "These were all given by Tian Jianle and Sister Aihua, and they will all be returned as favors."

Er Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she came in the right way.Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she smiled and said, "Sister, I haven't eaten canned meat yet!"

Hearing this, Tian Shao took out another can and put it in the basket: "Go out and find a cool place to eat. It's not good for Wei's kid to see you eating here, and don't let Si Ya know, or she will know that you eat alone. Mess with you."

After all, it is a partner in the Wei family, and now that the food is so expensive, it is not easy for her to let Erya stay for dinner.

Erya left Wei Caixia and came back.

When she was washing her face, Tian Shao saw a beautiful watch on her wrist, and praised her: "Sister Caixia, your watch is so beautiful, what brand is it?"

She will also buy a watch when she gets the money in the future, she is not used to the time.

"Clang..."

Wei Caixia accidentally hit the enamel basin on the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor.

Aunt Wei came out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion, and saw the enamel basin on the floor and scolded with a straight face: "You damn girl, you are so big that you are still messy, this basin is broken and you have to spend money to repair it."

The two sons in the family have to prepare two dowry gifts in the future. Like Li Guihua, she can't wait to break a penny in half to spend.

Wei Caixia calmed down and said, "Mom, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Tian Shao could see clearly that Wei Caixia knocked over the enamel basin in a panic after hearing her words.Thinking that Wei Caixia had to hand over most of her salary, she changed her mind and asked deliberately: "Caixia, what brand is your watch? This watch is so beautiful, I will buy one to wear when I have money in the future."

This is not nonsense, it is very inconvenient not to know the time without a watch, and I 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.
