Chapter 435 434. Six hundred sixty-seven?

When the brothers and sisters returned home, they found that there were only their grandparents left at home, so Xiang Jin asked, "Auntie Xiaoli has left?"

Their grandpa got up and went to the kitchen to cut watermelon for them, and their grandma said, "Well, she has already left, she came to invite us to eat out at night, but we refused, and we have already given it to them to live here." It's troublesome to call, why don't you let others spend money?
I told her to go back early, otherwise it would be bad for your Uncle Yang Yue to go out and book a restaurant. "

Xiang Jin nodded, and then heard her grandma say, "We have already made an agreement with her. We will go back when your aunt comes tomorrow."

The brothers and sisters nodded again, and Xiang Jin went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then said, "Then these sheets and quilt covers, we will wash them tomorrow morning."

Her grandma said, "Your Auntie Xiaoli said no, she said she would take it back to their place for cleaning. There is a washing machine over there. Let's fold it up and pack it in bags for them."

"Oh, good!" Xiang Jin's grandfather brought watermelon, Xiang Jin picked up a piece and took a bite, then asked again, "Then will Auntie Xiaoli come over tomorrow? I will give her the key to our room." Woolen cloth."

Her grandma said, "If you want, the school will resume classes tomorrow, and your Aunt Xiaoli still has classes tomorrow morning."

Xiang Jin nodded again.

"Oh, what's the matter, you look sleepy, haven't you rested?" The next morning, when her aunt and Aunt Xiaoli arrived, she saw Xiang Jin sitting on the cool bench chair in the living room with a serious expression on her face. She looked listless and hadn't woken up much, and then her aunt said.

Xiang Jin yawned and called out, "Auntie, Auntie Xiaoli!"

Both of them smiled when they looked at her, Xiang Jin's grandma looked at her and said, "Yesterday her brother came, so I shared a room with her in the evening, and her brother slept in a room with her grandfather. This child I’ve never been used to sharing a room with others, so I didn’t sleep well, and when I woke up in the morning, I yawned non-stop.”

Both Aunt Xiaoli and her aunt couldn't laugh or cry, and her aunt said, "It's okay, you can sleep well when you get to our fruit field later, and you can sleep how you want when the time comes," followed by her Ask Xiang Jin her grandparents, "Is everything packed?"

The two old people agreed, and then Xiang Jin's grandma took Aunt Xiaoli's hand and confessed, "Girl, there are still some ingredients in the refrigerator, don't forget to eat them when the time comes, there is also a watermelon and A cantaloupe, don't forget to eat it then?"

Aunt Xiaoli said, "Oh, how can I finish this? Sister Xue brought me some fresh fruits and vegetables this morning. Why don't you just cut them up and take them on the road?"

Xiang Jin's grandma waved her hand, "It's not too far from their place. It takes about 40 minutes to get there. We still need watermelon to eat when we get there? If you can't eat it, then take it to the school and talk to me." Your colleagues share the food."

Aunt Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I will listen to Auntie, ouch, we didn't treat you well even when you came, and Xiaobo, you didn't even drink a sip of water. We feel very embarrassed, why don't you stay here for two more days, and then leave after two days, so that we can also be a landlord?"

Xiang Jin's grandma made a displeased face, "Well, what do you want to entertain? The day we came, you already made a big table of delicious food to entertain us? This must be outside Is a meal in a restaurant counted as hospitality?
Well, it’s already very good. Your uncle, I, and Xiao Jin are all very grateful for providing us with such a good accommodation environment. Look at how close it is to their examination room. It’s only about ten minutes away. , our Xiaojin can sleep a little longer every morning, and their classmates live a little far away, and it takes more than half an hour to walk every day, so how early do you think those children have to get up? "

Aunt Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is the benefit here."

Following Xiang Jin, her grandma said again, "Girl, the auntie of the bed sheet and quilt cover listened to your honesty and didn't clean it for you. I will trouble you to take it back there to clean it later. In the morning, we will wash it for you." It’s all packed and stacked, and it’s packed in that bag, don’t you forget it when the time comes?”

"Oh, okay, it's okay!" Aunt Xiaoli glanced at the chair in the living room, and followed suit.

Her aunt Xiang Jin suggested, "Then let's go, Xiao Li still has classes to attend later."

So everyone took their things and went out, and Xiang Jin's grandma handed back the key to the door outside the house to Aunt Xiaoli.

After getting in the car, Ouyang Bo asked excitedly, "Auntie, how is the growth of our melons, fruits and vegetables?"

Her aunt laughed and said, "It must be gratifying. There is a large melon field. Every day, several trucks of watermelon and cantaloupe are taken to other places. The vines are also a large piece of green. If they bear fruit, then it will It’s spectacular, but it’s in the stage of growing seedlings, and you’ll know when it’s here.”

Xiang Jin and her grandparents all had pleasant smiles on their faces, while Ouyang Bo was full of excitement and longing, "Then aunt, I will work with you during the summer vacation, helping you pick vegetables and melons?"

Xiang Jin was suddenly surprised, "Aren't you going back?"

Ouyang Bo said, "Why do you go back? There's nothing to do when you go back? Why don't you just stay here and earn a little money?"

Her aunt immediately agreed, "Okay, as long as you're not afraid of suffering and not tired, that's fine! Then I'll pay you as much as the catties of fruits and vegetables you pick a day."

Ouyang Bo kept nodding, "Yes, yes!"

Seeing his joyful look, Xiang Jin said contemptuously, "Can you be more successful?"

Ouyang Bo turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled and unconvinced face, "Why am I not doing anything, I am already self-reliant, why am I not doing anything?"

Xiang Jin glanced at him sideways, and hehehe, "If I were you, I would choose another way to make money, and that would be to find a place to sell watermelons instead of facing the sun every day." Pick watermelons in the field.

Of course, I definitely don't discriminate against people who work hard like this. I just think that if there is an easier and more comfortable way to make money, why don't I choose a more comfortable way? "

Her aunt jokingly said while driving, "Hey, this is indeed the big boss of our family. His thinking is different from ours. Xiaobo, I think what your sister said makes sense. Why don't you sell it instead?" Watermelon, right? Picking vegetables and watermelon, this weather is really tiring, you children may not be able to bear the heat."

Ouyang Bo said, "I think so too, but how can I have so much money? There is a lot of money for this car of watermelons, and I can't afford that much."

Xiang Jin looked at him with disdain again, and then settled a deal with him with his fingers, "You have no money, who are you fooling? Let me settle with you?

Do you have at least three hot pot restaurant customers?I heard that people will ask you for three or four meals of hot pot bottoms every month. Even if you earn a dollar from this bag of hot pot bottoms, you can earn thousands of dollars a month. Not to mention you are more than that.

There are also the dividends that have been distributed to you in the melon, fruit and vegetable fields in the past two or three months. Let alone you have 5 to [-] yuan in your hand now, right?

You say you have no money, who will believe it?If you don’t use that money, what are you still doing with it?Waiting for it to give you cubs?How much interest is there in the bank? "

Ouyang Bo said with a surprised expression, "No way, you know how much money I have in my hand? You are too scary, right?"

Xiang Jin gave him an annoyed look, "Nonsense, if I don't know what's in my heart, how can I be the boss?"

Ouyang Bo gave her a thumbs up, "Excellent! But I haven't accepted the orders for the two hotpot restaurants in our city, so I asked them to contact Uncle Tao directly."

"Why?" her aunt asked.

Ouyang Bo said, "The distance is too far, and I don't have a mobile phone, so it's not very convenient to contact, so after I cooperated with them for a while, I asked them to find Uncle Tao to cooperate, so now I There are only customers from the hot pot restaurant near our school."

Xiang Jin said, "Now you understand that middlemen will eventually be replaced by manufacturers and end customers. If manufacturers want to stabilize their sales channels, they will definitely do everything possible to find them. end customers.

In order to obtain greater profit margins and maintain a stable supply of goods, end customers will try their best to find the original channel manufacturer.

So once the two parties get in touch, what's the matter with your middleman?So, being a middleman is really not a long-term business.

So, don’t be reluctant to part with your tens of thousands of dollars, take some out and find a place to sell watermelons and cantaloupe while it’s the hot summer season, the watermelons grown in our own land are so fresh and sweet, Didn't you try it last night?

Let me tell you, a watermelon weighs at least [-] catties, so you can get rid of the freight and manual handling and unloading fees. If you earn [-] cents for a catty of watermelon, you can earn at least [-] yuan for that watermelon. If you sell hundreds of watermelons a day, that’s a few hundred dollars, right?

Let me tell you that in the fruit and vegetable field, you can earn 50 yuan at most if you work hard all day, and if a melon is damaged, you have to pay for it according to the price. The compensation is even more, at least five times the price of melons, if you don't believe me, ask Auntie! "

Then Ouyang Bo looked at her aunt, "Auntie, is that so?"

Their aunt said, "That's right, that's true. We will cover them, and there is a guaranteed salary of several hundred yuan a month. They pick fruits and vegetables every day and get a commission. After a month, each of them The wages are already very high, even higher than the wages of ordinary employees in the big coastal cities.

How can we pay them such generous wages if they are so frizzy and careless in the process of working? No matter how many fruits and vegetables we have, they are not enough to harm them, so in this area In fact, our control is very strict. "

Ouyang Bo nodded, then said "Oh", and then asked her where are their watermelons sold now?
Then his aunt said, "Don't think about our city and the two nearby counties, because there are several customers in these three places who get goods from us, and they are five or six tons every day. Ton Dela, why don't you just find a place to sell it in some nearby town?"

Then Ouyang Bo asked Xiang Jin and their grandparents, "Is there anyone selling watermelons in Shengshui Town?"

Xiang Jin and her grandparents all said in unison, "Yes!"

"Ah, you have it all?" Ouyang Bo suddenly looked disappointed.

Xiang Jin said, "It must be there, the proprietress of the small restaurant and her natal brother have always been Grandpa Zeng's vegetable customers.

Now Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo have moved to our contracted land, and they are still growing vegetables in greenhouses, so they must ask for a while, and it will take more time to get from Shengshui Town to our contracted land. It's closer, and the roads are wider and easier to walk, so it's not surprising that they continue to be their customers, right? "

Ouyang Bo sighed, "Oh, I also said that I should find a place to sell them in Shengshui Town, so that at least I'm more familiar with them here."

Xiang Jin comforted him and said, "Oh, in fact, as long as you want to find customers to buy your watermelons, you can still find them.

I read in a newspaper before that on a certain construction site in a coastal city, six hundred people consumed a thousand catties of watermelon every day. 40?

Six hundred people can consume 6000 tons of watermelons. According to what my aunt said before, they pull five or six tons of watermelons every day, which is only enough for more than 30 people, and there are still more than [-] people. I can't eat watermelon.

In summer, especially in this weather, no fruit can beat the summer heat, right?
Therefore, my suggestion is that you should go to the urban area to sell them. The people there are working class, and you can still afford a watermelon or half a watermelon a day.

Therefore, you only need to spend two or three days to visit and investigate to see which places are in demand for watermelons, and then sell watermelons there. If you are too busy alone, you can still pull you Do it together with acquaintances, if you want to make money, why don't you worry about finding a way out? "

Ouyang Bo invited her, "Then you will come with me?"

Xiang Jin waved his hand, "I'll forget it, and I won't compete with you for profit. Besides, my next work will focus on how to fill out the application form, but I don't have the heart to take care of your business."

When it came to the matter of filling in the application form for the college entrance examination, Ouyang Bo immediately became interested, "Oh, how many points will you get in this college entrance examination, can you estimate it?"

Xiang Jin said, "It should not be lower than six hundred and sixty-seven."

"Six hundred and sixty-seven?" The family was overjoyed immediately, and then her aunt said with a smile on her face, "Then why can I go to a key university?"

Xiang Jin's grandparents also nodded happily, and Ouyang Bo said, "Not only that, but it is also possible to go to the two highest schools in our country!"

"Really?"

The family was very happy again, her aunt drove the car to the side of the road and stopped, then turned her head and stared at Xiang Jin with doting eyes and said, "Xiao Jin, you are really good , if that's the case, you can win great glory for our family."

Xiang Jin said, "Everyone, don't be so happy too early? First of all, the score hasn't come out yet. I estimated it, and that's just my estimate. Maybe I'm just self-righteous? So this estimate can't be true. Huh?

Secondly, the admission scores of the various colleges and universities this year are still unknown. What if my final scores are not up to the minimum admission standards?

The third is, do you really think that the two top universities in the country must be the best?
Let me tell you that they are only the best in overall strength, but they may not be better than other schools in some professional fields.

Therefore, even if my score in the college entrance examination is enough to meet the admission standards of these two schools, I may not choose one of these two schools.

I choose a major that I like, and it will be beneficial to my future career development, so I will give you a precaution first, so that you will not be disappointed with me when the time comes. "

Her grandparents said, "No, no, we support whatever school you choose."

Her aunt also said, "That's right, that's right, no matter which school you choose, it must be a key famous university that didn't go!"

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Oh, by the way, aunt, who is responsible for feeding the sheep and cows in our family? Do you take turns feeding them?"

Her aunt said, "At first, but then the master Chen who can cook brought his parents over. Her mother worked carefully and picked melons, fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field, but his father's lumbar spine was a bit It’s inconvenient, and he can’t squat in the ground for a long time, but he is also an honest person, so we gave him 500 yuan a month to help us take care of those animals.

He can't do much, just collect the discarded vegetables and leaves in the field every day, as well as the broken melons and fruits in the field, and feed them back to the cattle and sheep, and then clean the cattle and sheep pens every day Those ones. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Then how many sheep and cattle did we raise in total?"

Her aunt said, "There are about [-] sheep, and only five cows. These are mainly used for farming, and maybe two more will be sold at that time."

"Well, yes," Xiang Jin nodded again.

After driving for about 10 minutes, Ouyang Xue stopped the car again, "Wait in the car, I'm going to buy some food, Xiao Bo, let's go, go and get some vegetables with my aunt."

"Oh, good!" Ouyang Bo got off the car.

Xiang Jin also opened the door and got out of the car, "Auntie, I'll go with you too!"

"Okay!" Ouyang Xue responded with a smile.

Looking at the small market here, Ouyang Bo asked, "What are you buying?"

Her aunt said, "Buy some pork, two chickens, some fish, and some tofu. Since you are here today, and everyone has been working really hard lately, I simply invite you all to have a meal together. "

Xiang Jin said, "I'll pay later, even if I invite everyone!"

Ouyang Bo was surprised when he looked at her, and their aunt laughed immediately, and looked at Xiang Jin with her eyes narrowed in a smile, and then leaned up to Xiang Jin and whispered to her, "Boss, what is this?" Do you want to treat me?"

"En!" Xiang Jin responded lightly.

Her aunt smiled even more cheerfully, "Okay, then the boss will give you the money!"

Then the three uncles and nephews went to a meat stall together, and then they bought a large piece of pork belly and two-knife pork, and a whole bundle of ribs, followed by a few people and bought two live chickens , plus a few fresh grass carp, and then I went to buy a few yuan of old tofu and dried tofu, as well as a large bundle of vermicelli and a few catties of soybean sprouts, all of which were paid by Xiang Jin. It cost her a total of more than 200 and nearly 300 yuan.

Her grandparents were surprised when they saw it, "Hey, why did you buy so many?"

Ouyang Xue jokingly said while buckling up her seat belt, "The boss is going to inspect the work today and wants to invite everyone to have a meal together."

Xiang Jin's grandparents were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Xiang Jin and laughed.

The car started again, and after driving for about ten, twenty, ten minutes, they arrived at their destination, and then they saw a large melon, fruit and vegetable field appearing in front of their eyes, and there were still scattered around the melon and fruit field. There are a few newly built brick and tile houses. Although the brick and tile houses have only one floor, they are not very low, and they are about four or five meters high.

There is a house that has been repaired with two consecutive floors, and it has five rooms. This house is where her aunt, great-grandpa, and grandma Mo usually live. The upper floor is a bedroom, and the lower floor is a bedroom. In the kitchen, one is used as a financial accounting office, one is used as a reception room, and two are used as warehouses. Usually, if the fruits and vegetables requested by customers have been picked, but they have not arrived yet, they are all moved to the kitchen. Here to place.

The fruit and vegetable fields of their family are indeed growing very gratifyingly. Looking around, a large area is green, and it seems that the melon and fruit fields are all watermelons and cantaloupe next to each other, both large and small.

The same is true in the vegetable field. The tall and short saplings bear bunches of vegetables, such as bright red tomatoes and sweet peppers, purple eggplants, green peppers and two vitex, as well as cucumbers and kidney beans. , and vegetables such as cowpeas that hang densely like noodles.

Seeing such a large-scale planting of vegetables and melons, as well as the staff working hard to harvest vegetables and fruits in the field, as well as several large trucks parked on the side of the road, Ouyang Bo's face was raised. With a happy smile, and his eyes flashed with excitement, he turned to look at his aunt, "Auntie, do you still have straw hats at home? Give me one too, and I will help pick vegetables too." .”

Ouyang Xue said, "Wait a minute, help me put these things in the kitchen first, and I'll get them for you."

"Okay!" Ouyang Bo picked up two bags and went to the kitchen without saying a word, and Xiang Jin and the others also helped.

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng were not at home, so they were probably busy in the field.

Xiang Jin yelled at her aunt, "Auntie, get me one too?!"

Ouyang Xue turned sideways and said, "Don't you want to sleep? Why, you want to go to the ground too? And the sun is shining right now."

Xiang Jin said, "I haven't dozed off for a long time. The sun is still acceptable. I won't go until eleven or twelve o'clock."

Her aunt nodded, "OK!"

Then her grandparents said, "Then we will cook for you at home!"

Her aunt replied again, "Okay, but there are still some meat ingredients in the refrigerator. You should use that first, and if you don't have enough, cut up some to buy today. All of our staff here have a total of 22, plus the three of you , that’s a total of 25 meals.”

Xiang Jin's grandparents nodded, and then asked how many dishes Xiang Jin cooked in total. Xiang Jin thought that there were so many people and the weather was so hot, so she said, "Let's make eight, there are fans there." There are also bean sprouts, which can be mixed with a dish at that time, and then the two-knife pork, I will pick two cucumbers later, let’s make a white-cut pork with these two, and the other pork belly and sweet peppers will be fried as a dish at that time Let’s braise pork ribs and tofu in braised sauce, use that dried tofu to stir-fry a dish with two vitex twigs, eggplant, and that meat, then have a braised fish in braised sauce, and stir-fry water spinach with vegetables.”

Her grandparents listened carefully and remembered, then nodded, "Okay, then do this?"

Then Ouyang Bo said, "There are still two chickens here, don't you want to eat them?"

Xiang Jin said, "Let's forget about that. It's too late. It's too late. When it's free later, Grandpa Zeng and the others can get it for themselves."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "All right!"

Her aunt found some straw hats, and Xiang Jin asked her aunt how their room was arranged, and they had to put the packages away first.

Then his aunt stood downstairs and pointed them to several rooms upstairs and introduced them, "The second room up here belongs to your Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, the fourth room is mine, and the other three rooms belong to you." It's up to you to choose, but the first room has no air conditioner, only an electric fan, because I haven't had time to buy an air conditioner, and the air conditioners in those rooms are all the air conditioners in your hometown that your grandpa once dismantled. came."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay. After a while, we will pull all the furniture from our school. We still have two air conditioners and a refrigerator. Before, grandpa and grandma said that they didn't know what to do with them." Well, this is just right."

Her aunt said, "OK!"

Then Ouyang Bo said, "Then I'll live in the first room, Xiao Jin, you can sleep in the third room, and let grandparents sleep in the last room."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"

Ouyang Bo stretched out his hand to her, "Give me your backpack, I'll take it for you, so you won't be too lazy to run."

Xiang Jin nodded, took off the backpack and threw it to him.

Xiang Jin's grandparents also handed him their backpacks and handbags, and asked him to take them with them.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Jin and her aunts and nephews went to work in the field together, while her grandparents went directly into the kitchen and started busy with lunch.

When the three aunts and nephews passed the melon and fruit field, many people looked at Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo curiously, and then someone asked Jin and her aunt, "Manager Ou, these are your nephew and niece. Son?"

Ouyang Xue nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is Xiaobo, this is Xiaojin!"

Everyone nodded to their brothers and sisters, Xiang Jin and his brothers and sisters also nodded to everyone, and then someone asked, "Isn't she the one who took the college entrance examination these days?"

Ouyang Xue nodded again, "Yeah, it's her. Just after yesterday afternoon, I'll pick them up and stay here for two days."

Everyone nodded, and a middle-aged woman stared at Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo and said, "The little girl and the boy are both good-looking, and they are as beautiful as the other!"

Being praised so much by others, Xiang Jin didn't show the slightest bit of shyness or embarrassment, but smiled generously, because she was already immune to such compliments, but Ouyang Bo was slightly uncomfortable, because he always felt that The word "beautiful" is used to describe girls, and he is not suitable for a big boy, but when facing such kind and simple working people, he can't complain that what they say is wrong, so he has to turn his head Slightly turned away, pretending not to care.

At this moment, someone asked Xiang Jin, "Little girl, how did you do in the exam this time? Which key university in our country can you go to?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's hard to say, the college entrance examination has just ended, and I don't know what the specific admission scores for various colleges and universities will be this year."

Then her aunt smoothed things over and said, "This year's questions are a bit difficult, even more difficult than previous years' questions."

Everyone nodded, and then her aunt said again, "Also, let me inform everyone. I received a notice from the boss saying that everyone has worked hard recently, and then let us take her to invite everyone to have a meal at noon today." , so everyone, don’t go home and do it yourself, after you’re done with your work, go to our place for dinner, and pass on what you hear to those who haven’t heard it?”

Everyone became happy when they heard it, and then everyone smiled and said yes!

Following Xiang Jin, her aunt said again, "Okay, don't disturb everyone's work, let's go to the vegetable field over there."

Everyone waved to them, and then the three aunts and nephews walked towards the vegetable field together.

Ouyang Bo asked Jin in a low voice, "It seems that they don't know one of your bosses yet?"

Ouyang Xue said, "Your sister meant it, so they always thought that this land was jointly funded and contracted by our family and Yan Chen's family."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Oh, so it is."

After a short while, everyone went to the vegetable field. Everyone stopped when they saw Xiang Jin and his brother and sister, and then Grandma Mo immediately showed a look of surprise when she saw Xiang Jin , "Oh, girl Jin, you're here?!"

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded to her with a smile, and then walked towards her with a happy face, "Grandma Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Grandma Mo said, "Yes, Grandma Mo hasn't seen you for a long time, well, come on, let Grandma Mo take a good look at you!"

Xiang Jin stood in front of her, and Grandma Mo stared at her and sized her up for a while, then frowned and said, "Well, I lost weight!"

"Have you lost weight? Haven't you?!" Xiang Jin clasped his hands in both hands and said.

Grandma Mo nodded seriously, "Well, I've lost weight and my face is slender, but it's okay, the college entrance examination is over, I'll let your grandparents make up for you when the time comes!"

Xiang Jin said, "Then I can't let my grandparents make up for me, they will treat me like a pig!"

Grandma Mo laughed, "This child, how can you say that," but her eyes were still full of love, and then she saw her and said, "How is it, how did you do in the exam this time?"

Xiang Jin said, "I don't know yet, but I should be able to go to college."

Grandma Mo smiled and nodded again, "That's good, that's good! Chen Chen also said it's okay."

Xiang Jin asked, "Did he call you?"

"Oh, I called last night! He said he was coming in two days."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then there was no response. Ouyang Bo came over and greeted Grandma Mo, and then the two chatted again, and then Xiang Jin spontaneously carried a basket to pick vegetables.
