Chapter 445 Growth

This is the woman with the vegetable basket.

This woman looked like she was not short of money, and she wore gold on her hands and ears.

So Xie Huaiyu raised his voice and went to the woman, saying: "Auntie, take a look at my cabbage. My father picked them in the field. The best and freshest ones are only three cents a catty. Buy a catty and go back to fry it, it’s cheaper to buy more.”

Cousin Xie raised his head quickly when he heard his son's voice, and was surprised to see the woman who actually walked a few steps and stopped at her booth. "It's three cents too expensive, and I didn't buy one for two cents."

I only heard Xie Huaiyu say crisply: "Auntie, take a look for yourself, Bibi, our vegetables don't have any rotten leaves. Can others compare with us?"

"Yes, but it can't be so expensive." Women are indeed attracted by the juicy and fresh vegetables on the stalls, and they are comfortable to look at, but they are determined not to back down when bargaining.

The two of you came and I talked for a while, Xie Huaiyu backed down: "Oh, it's a loss, it's a loss, two points are two points, but you can't tell others, auntie, we really lost two points, since you opened us Only one Zhang is worth two points."

The first business transaction.

"Auntie, in fact, two cents is a big loss for us. Think about it, we buy seeds and fertilizers, take care of them every day, and chop them up before dawn. Besides, our house is far away, and we push the vegetables to the city. It's not easy here, Auntie, you are so beautiful, judging by your clothes, you are definitely not someone who is short of a penny or two."

In the simple and simple age, everyone spoke directly and bluntly. How can there be a woman like Xie Huaiyu who is full of lies in her teens and neatly combed her hair? Xie Huaiyu's grandparents and grandchildren, the patches on their clothes, said:

"That's right, I'm not bad at one point or two points, but I don't like to suffer this kind of loss, so let's buy some after seeing that this dish is really clean."

She picked two cabbages and handed them to cousin Xie.Cousin Xie hurriedly took the borrowed scale and weighed it.

"Hey, where did you come from?" The woman asked casually as she picked out the loofah.

"We came from the Red Flag Brigade. We got up in the middle of the night. We were tired after walking for several hours. Auntie, this loofah is a dish that is not available at the moment. Do you know that vegetables in greenhouses are only sold for a quarter? Jin, buy two catties, all the tender loofahs are picked, there is absolutely no old one, if it is not good, come to me tomorrow, and I will refund your money." Xie Huaiyu said enthusiastically.

These vegetables are the result of his hard work for more than three months after he issued an IOU with his uncle. Naturally, they won't be sold at a lower price than others, but they won't just ask for prices.

Under Xie Huaiyu's enthusiastic promotion, the woman bought two cabbages and two catties of loofah.

As soon as the lady left, two young women came up holding hands, and they were about to pass by the vegetable stall. Xie Huaiyu took the opportunity to sell his own vegetables. "Two beautiful sisters, do you want to see these dishes, they are so juicy and fresh."

Not to mention, with such a description, it seems that the dishes in front of Xie Huaiyu are really fresh.

"Hey, how do you sell the loofah? Every day I eat cabbage and radishes until I feel sick..."

Xie Huaiyu saw that there was a door, and quickly sold it: "The loofah costs five cents a catty. They are all tender loofahs picked before dawn, and our family is reluctant to eat them!"

Xie Guoan looked at his grandson in shock, didn't he sell it for four cents just now?
"Ah, can it be cheaper?"

The two women stood in front of the stall, haggling over prices, and quickly attracted the attention of passing customers.

"No way, auntie, I really lost three points. We came from a long way away...the Red Flag Brigade..."

"Uncle, take a look at our dishes before looking at other ones, you get what you pay for..."

"Sister, let's add another two cents..."

"Not tender, not fragrant, no money... We will come back tomorrow, if it is not delicious, you come to us..."

"Yes, you can smash the stall!"

Xie Huaiyu was in charge of greeting the guests, he talked all he wanted, and he was picky and picky. He asked the price whether he would buy it or not. It was not an easy thing to sort out.

Later, he even took over the work of collecting money and changing money. Cousin Xie only needed to weigh it.

Because his tongue is not as good as his son.

It was almost ten o'clock, and the number of customers gradually decreased. There were still a few cabbages left, and all the loofahs were sold out.

Thanks to Huaiyu's blessing, a lot of eggplants and peppers were sold at the stall next to them.Seeing that Xie Huaiyu was free, the stall owner gave Xie Huaiyu a bowl of water with a smile: "Young man, take a break, come, drink a bowl of water."

When Xie Huaiyu heard the greeting, he happily accepted it; "Thank you, auntie."

There is no business at the moment. This slightly chubby aunt who gave Xie Huaiyu a drink of water simply chatted with Xie Huaiyu. The topic was not a conspiracy. The content of the chat is similar to that of a milk doll who has just learned to talk.

"I heard you said they came from the Red Flag Brigade, that's far away..."

"It's tiring for you to come here as a boy. I only heard you yelling today. By the way, are you coming tomorrow when you don't meet? Why don't you just stay here and let's take care of each other."

Xie Huaiyu dealt with it vaguely.

The Red Flag Brigade is a few kilometers away from the town, and he can't come here often, and he doesn't grow a lot of vegetables. The rest can be sent to the town to sell.

I heard that Tanggu sold vegetables like this when she was a child, and now Tanggu is living a good life as everyone talks about it. Xie Huaiyu said that he will definitely work hard.

After drinking the water, he flushed the bowl with clean water and returned it to the aunt. Xie Huaiyu saw a maltose seller not far away, turned around and said to cousin Xie, "Dad, give me some money. I'll go shopping and buy something."

His notebook is almost finished, and he should buy it, otherwise there will be no room for homework.

His son performed well and earned money. Cousin Xie was in a good mood, and it was rare that he was not numb. He said to his son: "What are you running around? If you get lost, you won't cry to death."

Xie Huaiyu was dissatisfied with cousin Xie's underestimation of her: "I'm not a three-year-old kid, I'm only a little old, so I won't get lost." Xie Huaiyu lowered his voice coquettishly: "Dad, let me go shopping, I can find it." road."

Xie Huaiyu is almost ten years old, and on the team, he is already half of the labor force.

Moreover, the children in the countryside are free-range and run wild all day long. Now that the sky is bright, Xie Huaiyu is smart and will be fine.

Xie Guoan took a dollar instead.

Today, the grandson has earned so much, and when he has no reason to go to the market, he is reluctant to let him use a dollar.

Cousin Xie felt that his father had said so anyway, so he didn't care.

Anyway, now I am like a wooden man, two wives in a row have not died well, and the spittle of the captain will drown him.

Xie Huaiyu took the money to buy a notebook, and when he passed by the shredded tobacco area, he wrapped loose cigarettes for [-] cents and went back.

When Xie Huaiyu took out the fifty cents to smoke at night, Xie Guoan stared blankly for a long time before taking it; "Thank you, son."

When Xie Huaiyu went to practice calligraphy next door, Xie Guoan indulged himself in tears.

The appearance of his grandson reminded him that he had made a lot of efforts to get the approval of his parents, but he rarely received thanks. Only when he said that he was on the side of his parents anytime and anywhere, could he occasionally get some praise.

Since the death of his father Xie Laocai, Xie Guoan has felt something completely different from the previous few decades of his life. He dare not spoil his grandson, but he will not control him everywhere. Such a filial behavior of his grandson, Even if it is only fifty cents, he is very happy and will thank you immediately.

I absolutely can't let my failed life be replicated on my grandson again.

It's just that, after experiencing these things, his son is completely decadent. As a father, he can only guarantee that his son will not starve to death or freeze under his guidance.

On the grandson's side, we can't bury his spirituality. It's really not possible. When the time comes, we will go all out, and beg his younger brother Xie Guoju to pull it out when he has spare energy.

Xie Guoan tore off one of Xie Huaiyu's used notebooks, rolled in the loose cigarettes the child bought for him, rubbed a match, the choking smell of smoke, and the dense smoke seemed to blur his vision even more.

Landlord's Court

Qiaojuan also heard from her husband about the child Xie Huaiyu, and learned that this child has been digging wild vegetables to go to the town to exchange money for school since last year, and also collected some junk to exchange some paper for the old man at the junkyard to write on. There is really a slang saying: good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo.

Xie Guoan's family is so stupid and filial, Lin Lang's lobby is so helpless, and Chen Ju is so unable to support a family and can't teach children. I have lived with them for decades, can I You know, but in such an environment, it is a miracle to raise a self-reliant child.

When the family was separated, the child was just able to speak.

It was Xie Laocai and Xie Guoan who gave her bad memories in her life, and they had nothing to do with this child.

Her thoughts after Xie Guoju said this was: "If we have the spare energy, we can help, but you have to be careful." '

"Shengmien fights Michou, I understand. I won't let the people in the old house think that I have put everything aside, so I can let go of the past. This kid is a good one. He usually comes to help me weed. Even in one afternoon, I didn't have the toughness, and he didn't ask me to pay for the promotion. He is a good seedling, and I will help him if I have the opportunity."

"And this thing, that's really good." Qiaojuan changed the subject and said, "I told you about eating by myself during the New Year's Eve, do you still remember?"

"Remember, you said that Lin Lang was a tough day, and you didn't give Xiao New Year a chance to relax."

Qiaojuan said: "I'm thinking about it, sometimes we really spoil the New Year too much, maybe we haven't noticed it ourselves, in the future, Ping'an Peking University and Baiyun and the others, we will intervene less, you see There is no need to be so careful."

When it comes to pampering children, Xie Guoju is not a loser. Hearing what his wife said, he couldn't help but reflect on himself: "Be careful. You must be careful. In the future, when daughters-in-law educate their children, we will listen by the side and cooperate with you one or two times." Just to put it simply, the education of young people today is different from ours at that time.

At that time, it was all we had to have a child who would be able to eat and not starve, but it is not necessarily the case now, and we have three daughters-in-law, two of whom are educated, and one who has suffered a lot in life but is also very independent. Yes, it's different from ordinary people's daughters-in-law. In their own words, even if they don't follow blindly, they have their own ideas. We have to learn more. "

Qiaojuan listened very carefully in the front, and then heard a cut in the back: "I went to some lectures again recently, and I started to say these things."

"Isn't that the team next door came to learn greenhouse vegetables from us, and I accidentally prepared some more words like this, so I got used to it. By the way, my wife has something to discuss with you." Xie Guoju suddenly remembered something .

"You said."

"Didn't we search the mountain this time? Xie Sen was so scared. Although no one said anything about the search, it seemed that no one had found anything unusual. I thought about it and had to make some preparations. Wipe it off."

Qiaojuan became interested and asked him what to do.

"What I mean is, we rent this mountain and give some money to the brigade every year, which is regarded as part of the money for everyone. Then we plant in it, and let Xie Sen go to the place according to our previous design. The management over there grows vegetables or grows food, and then stays away from the places that everyone must pass by, planting fruit trees, and what my daughter mentioned before grafting, don’t we have some fruit trees on the mountain, and the fruits they bear are not delicious at all? , My daughter said that grafting can solve these problems, and then we will do this slowly."

"Do you make money like this?" Qiaojuan was worried about this. Although her daughter paid most of Grandma Zhou's medical expenses before, she didn't return the money everyone collected. She planned to work hard with Xie Guoju to save [-] and return it to her daughter. .

After all, it is a daughter's ability to have money. If you need it urgently or if you really have no other way, you can borrow some from your daughter first. The idea of ​​looking for Lin Lang, so she plans to spend the normal expenses of the family in the past two years, and send it to Lin Lang after collecting [-] yuan.

What kind of project is Xie Guoju going to do? It doesn't sound like it will be effective in a year or so, and the rent must be paid in advance. This thing sounds somewhat unreliable.

"It doesn't sound very reliable, but when my daughter said that shed vegetables, did we think it was reliable?" Xie Guoju also likes to explore new things, and spares no effort to do Amway with his wife.

Qiaojuan is also a little bit tempted, it sounds like a long-term business, maybe just a year or two of hard work or no profit, but fruit trees, if there is no large-scale pest damage, it is definitely a long-term business!

"Why don't we try?" Qiaojuan said with a heartache.

Because I am loose, it is definitely a decision to burn money.
