Reborn 1980's Best Relatives Love Me

Chapter 18
Xu Niannian had already thought about it, to sell iced sugarcane water, boil the sugarcane in the water, boil the sweetness into the water, let the water cool, and keep it cold with ice cubes.

In this way, it has a sweet taste, and it will not make the mouth dry as you drink it. It is also cheap, only 8 cents a cup, and it will definitely sell well.

As soon as this thought came out, both Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei fell silent. They were relatively old-fashioned in their thinking and used to being poor. They didn't understand what those people who had a better life thought.

Eight cents is very cheap, but let them spend eight cents to buy a glass of water to drink, it is better to go home and drink directly next to each other.

But since the girl wanted to do it, Yang Cuihua gritted her teeth and agreed.

But she felt that this matter might not make money.

The reason why Xu Niannian said it first instead of doing it first was because she needed financial support and she had to prepare something in advance.

But these things all need money, and she doesn't have any money.

Although she has never done business, Yang Cuihua also knows that doing business requires capital.

"Nian Nian, see how much money you need, Mom will get it for you."

In front of Xu Niannian, Yang Cuihua never called her poor, even if her family was already poor.

Xu Niannian had already calculated the cost, so when Yang Cuihua said it, he immediately had the answer in his heart: "Five yuan."

When Yang Cuihua heard that it cost five yuan, Yang Cuihua panicked instantly, and her mouth frothed anxiously: "What, what do you want so much? How much can you sell for sugar water?"

No wonder Yang Cuihua was shocked. In this day and age, ordinary workers who work in textile factories in the town only pay more than a dozen yuan a month, but those who work in the management team only pay 30 yuan a month, and five yuan is about the same. It's ten days' wages for ordinary workers.

The Xu family's conditions are not comparable to those of those families who work in human factories.

The family only has [-] yuan in savings, do you think Yang Cuihua can't be shocked?

"Niannian, let's see if we don't do it. Mom can support you, so you don't have to worry about the dowry."

Xu Niannian didn't know how much savings the family had, but judging by Yang Cuihua's behavior, he probably didn't have much money.

Fearing that Yang Cuihua would be reluctant to take the money, Xu Niannian hurriedly said: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely earn you back the money."

"But..." Yang Cuihua hesitated.

Although she loves her daughter, she doesn't dare to mess around with this emergency money.

Seeing Yang Cuihua's hesitation, Xu Niannian made persistent efforts: "Mom, the family is so difficult, I try my best to do something for the family, don't you believe in Niannian? And don't forget, Mom, Niannian is a high school graduate. You have a lot of knowledge, and you won’t do business at a loss.”

Xu Niannian was playing the emotional card and bragging about herself.

Yang Cuihua always thought that Niannian was the smartest in her family. Since her daughter said that she could make money, she must be able to make money. She gritted her teeth and finally agreed.

"You wait, mom will get you the money."

What Yang Cuihua thinks in her heart is that even if she can't make money, her daughter has talked about it, and she must not refute her daughter's wishes.

Five yuan is five yuan, the big deal is that you can make money later if you lose money. After all, you can't make your daughter sad, let alone hurt her self-confidence.

When Xu Dawei heard that the cost was as much as five yuan, he was a little discouraged.

The dragon boat race only takes one day, not to mention making money, it would be nice to get back the principal.

But like Yang Cuihua, he couldn't bear to refute his daughter's enthusiasm.

Xu Zhiqiang had a smart head, and after listening to it from beginning to end, he felt that the method Xu Niannian said was feasible: "Sister, let me go with you!"

Xu Niannian originally planned to ask Xu Zhiqiang to help, and naturally he would not refuse when he took the initiative to speak.

"Success, you will come with me then."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiang nodded heavily: "Okay."

Yang Cuihua hurriedly ran to the main house to get the cloth bag where the money was hidden.

It was a flower-shaped veil, and the original color of the old one could no longer be seen.

Xu Niannian watched Yang Cuihua open the cloth bag, and took out a pile of small change from it, all of which were dimes, and there were a few cents.

Yang Cuihua took out one by one and counted fifty ten-cent bills to Xu Niannian.

Yang Cuihua only had such a small amount of money in her hand, Xu Niannian felt a little uncomfortable seeing Yang Cuihua counting more than half of it to her.

This floral handkerchief was used by Yang Cuihua to hide money, and more than half of the thickness was removed for five yuan, which means that the point in her hand was only four yuan at most.

The family only has so little money, and Yang Cuihua is willing to give her so much in business, how could Xu Niannian not feel sad.

This is more than half of the family's savings, and she can tell that since she said that the capital needs five yuan, neither Yang Cuihua nor Xu Dawei thinks that she can make money.

In this way, the two of them were still willing to take out the money, other than fearing that she would be disappointed, what else could be the reason.

Xu Niannian once again deeply felt how much Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei loved her.

Glancing at Xu Zhiqiang with envious eyes, Xu Niannian thought, if only the parents could be so kind to their younger brother.

The reason why Xu Niannian asked for five yuan was because he needed to buy some other tools, and it was just in case.

The next morning, Xu Niannian got up early. Tomorrow is the dragon boat race, so I have to get things ready in advance today.

She asked Xu Zhicheng to go to the mountains with a lot of money to cut down all the sugar cane. Xu Dawei went to the captain's house to borrow an ox cart and pulled it back with Xu Zhicheng.

Someone asked on the road, Xu Dawei said vaguely: "Fat vegetable field."

With the reform and opening up, although the land reform has not yet been implemented in Hongshan Town, and the villagers here are still working collectively to earn work points, every household is allowed to open a vegetable field in their yard.

Many people don't have enough fertilizer, so they like to cut some wild vegetable poles and throw them in the fertile land. Therefore, after hearing Xu Dawei's explanation, the villagers did not doubt it.

Xu Niannian, on the other hand, took Xu Zhiqiang to buy things he needed.

To sell sugar water, you must first need a bucket to hold the water, and secondly, you need a clean white cloth to cover it. Many of the buckets sold now have no lids.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, the country entered the era of reform and opening up. In order to promote the economy and encourage self-employed people to do business, all kinds of tickets gradually lost their effect. At first, they were only implemented in big cities.

After two years of reform, the wind finally reached Hongshan Town.

Now in 1980, if you go to a supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, as long as it is not particularly rare, you no longer need all kinds of tickets.

This made Xu Niannian heave a sigh of relief, it would be difficult if he still needed a ticket.

Their family doesn't have these tickets now.

With five yuan in his purse, Xu Niannian took Xu Zhiqiang into the supply and marketing cooperative.

The staff in front of the supply and marketing cooperative is a woman who looks about 30 years old, sitting in front knitting and crocheting sweaters.

Xu Niannian searched for a while before finding the bucket. After looking at the specifications of the various buckets, Xu Niannian decisively chose the largest one, and took six of them.
