Chapter 459 More Today
Bai Meixi put away the money she earned and showed up at Granny Liang's house on time at around nine o'clock in the evening. Xiaojun received more things today, which were piled up in the yard. Even the door of Aunt Liu's house was filled with books and newspapers. It seemed like there were two or three loads of scrap.

Xiaojun has now tasted the benefits and is very active in doing things. He goes out at least two or three times a day and has become a role model for all children to learn from.Everyone said that Xiaojun was hardworking and sensible, and he was completely different from before.

"Girl, you're here, Xiaojun hasn't come back yet, just wait, he will be back soon."

When Po Liang saw Bai Meixi, she immediately called her into the house. She was in a good mood these days, and the windows in the house were clean and bright. When she saw Bai Meixi, she immediately brought a large bowl of bone soup with cabbage and vermicelli in it. There is a huge bone, full of bone marrow, and you can smell the fragrance from a long distance away.

"Hurry up and try it. Spare ribs are too expensive to eat often. These ribs are cheap and have high nutritional value. It was Xiaojun who helped a meat factory haul the goods for a long time before they were willing to sell them to us at a low price. Look at it. Those big ribs only cost 1 yuan, which is much more cost-effective than pork ribs."

Granny Liang asked Bai Meixi to drink it while it was hot. Xiaojun brought back a lot today and put it outside the house. It will not go bad for a long time and is enough for them to eat for a whole winter. In the past, they could only eat cabbage every winter, and they would only put it away during the Chinese New Year. Adding two pieces of meat improved the food. Now they can drink pork rib soup every day. They are so happy.

"Thank you, Granny Liang." Xiaojun found a new job. Bai Meixi was very happy. She was sitting in the room drinking bone soup when she suddenly saw a new quilt on Granny Liang's bed. There was enough cotton in it. Four or five pounds thick.

"Grandma Liang, is this quilt made for Xiaojun?" Bai Meixi felt that Grandma Liang must be reluctant to use such a good thing for herself. It must be for her grandson that she is willing to spend so much money on cotton.

"I made it for Xiaojun. The weather is about to get cold. The quilt before was too thin. That small room is in the north and is very cold. From now on, he will have to sleep alone with a thick quilt."

Granny Liang's face was full of joy. Xiaojun had been working very hard these past two days. He went out early in the morning, came back twice, and went out again after dinner. He said that a family had made an agreement with him to pick him up after they got off work.

She went to buy new cotton and cotton cloth early this morning. Xiaojun had been busy outside all day, and she must not let her grandson get cold at night.

"Xiaojun is a sensible child and will never let you suffer in the future."

Bai Meixi is very satisfied with Xiaojun's hard work. Even if she leaves Puhai in the future, Xiaojun will be able to help Granny Liang live a better life.

Bai Meixi waited for half an hour at Mrs. Liang's house before Xiaojun came back from outside. The car didn't have many things, but it contained three hundred books, covering literature, physics, food culture, customs, etc. Each copy is in good condition and is the best thing Xiaojun has received in the past two days.

"Sister, I know that a school is moving and selling some unused books. I went there immediately after hearing about it. Sure enough, there are a lot of good things in the library. They said that the new school is a temporary borrowing place and the space is small. There is no place to set up a library, so give me all these books.”

The little soldier is energetic and sweet-tongued. Many people are willing to introduce business to him. In addition, he is willing to work hard and is often willing to help others, so he is widely praised.

"It's a pity that this flatbed truck is borrowed. If it were my own, I could make more trips." Xiaojun kept wiping the sweat from his face. Today, his truck pulled the meat factory into the water, and the entire truck was The wooden boards were all stained, and it took him an hour to clean them. Otherwise, he could have pulled some more things back. "In the future, if you do more work, you can buy your own car. A second-hand car only costs 150 yuan, which is much cheaper than a new car."

白美溪数了一下那些书,20本线装书4元,600本普通书12元,300个信封1块5毛,300斤报纸3元钱,一共21元5角,加上2元1角5分的提成,一共是21.65元,小军净赚15元5角。

Including the income of the first two days, the money he earned in these three days was already more than a month's salary. Xiaojun did the calculation and found that the price of 150 yuan for a flatbed truck was not expensive. According to his own earning speed, You will definitely earn it within a month.

"Sister, I will definitely keep up my efforts tomorrow, and you must come again." Xiaojun was very excited after getting the money. He wished he could work for a few more days and earn all the money he earned this winter.

"Then you have to come back early tomorrow. I will leave at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I can only come here again in 1-2 months." Bai Meixi told Xiaojun that she was leaving Puhai tomorrow. From now on, she I can only come back once every 1-2 months, and I can’t collect books every day like now.

This news made Xiaojun a little disappointed. He had only made money for a few days. He was about to be knocked back to his original form so soon. It would be difficult to maintain such a high income in the future.

He has limited capital and limited space. It is impossible to accumulate 1-2 months of scraps before selling them to Bai Meixi. At most, he can only keep some thread-bound books and high-quality books. The risk is high for him, and the loss is still high. Not small.

Xiaojun cherished this last opportunity to make money. He quickly brought out a large number of paintings from the house. These were all taken from his aunt's house. There were 42 paintings in total. Each painting had a seal and signature.

"Sister, look at these paintings. They are the same as those yesterday. My aunt said that she has taken all the paintings from her home and sold them to you."

Both Xiaojun and Granny Liang were afraid that Bai Meixi would not be able to come tomorrow, so they quickly took out these paintings. According to the price of 1 yuan per square foot, these paintings were worth at least 1 yuan. Granny Liang could not afford such a good money-making opportunity. Let your sister miss it.

Bai Meixi did the math. The paintings that Granny Liang brought this time were of different sizes, including landscapes and flowers. Each painting could be considered a fine product. The total total was 156 square feet, which was 156 yuan. That’s a lot of money. It was a big expense for Bai Meixi, but she still happily took out the money and bought all the paintings in Granny Liang's hands.

This figure makes Grandma Liang very satisfied. 156 yuan is a huge amount of money in this era. Ordinary people have to save for more than half a year without eating or drinking. With this money, her sister will not have to worry about it in the future.

Bai Meixi gave Granny Liang 156 yuan, plus a commission of 15.6 yuan. Counting Xiaojun's money from selling scraps, Granny Liang's family's income today is 40 yuan in total. This generous income makes Granny Liang even more motivated. , she ran back into the house to get something again. This time he brought two scrolls, which looked antique and seemed to be some more advanced paintings.
