Jia's daughter-in-law of Zhen Hanzi's family

Chapter 203 Making Money
She couldn't think of any other good solution for a while, so she could only do some practical things, go to every household to find women in their 40s and [-]s, and quietly ask if they need family planning products, or free ones.

In addition, I asked them privately if they had any extra vegetables for what to do. I knew the people in the cafeteria, and they were willing to pay a price of ten cents per catty.

In the countryside, it is impossible to have any fresh vegetables in winter, except for the radishes, cabbage, potatoes and sweet potatoes piled up in the cellar, there are only sauerkraut and radish strips, and the extremely cold-resistant wutaicai, and celery can grow tenaciously in the cold winter months.

Of course, there are many hills near Nanshanwu. There are wild vegetables in spring, beans, gourds, eggplants, and pumpkins in autumn. You can’t finish them in season. Everyone will dry them when the sun is bright, and you can eat more vegetables in winter. .

Now everyone is very excited to hear Jia Haohao talk about harvesting vegetables: "Do you want pickled sauerkraut too? What's the price of sauerkraut and dried beans?"

"I still have a few pumpkins in the cellar, do you want them?"

Zhen Youqin was afraid that his daughter-in-law might have misremembered the price he told her earlier, so he preemptively said, "Eggs are five cents a piece, pumpkins are two cents a catty, pickled vegetables like sauerkraut are five cents a catty, and dried beans are ten cents." a catty..."

After all, the cabbage sold outside is only two cents a catty, and a pumpkin costs several catties. If it is expensive, even if I sell it, I will have to pay back the money.

In fact, he didn't want to do this business at all. It would be very troublesome if it leaked out, and the profit in it was too little.

But who would let his daughter-in-law be kind-hearted, saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and she can help wherever she can.

After all, it is inconvenient for everyone to go outside, so it is also convenient for him to go back and forth.

Zhen Youqin was born and raised in Nanshan Wuli anyway, and has a certain understanding of the nature of the people in the village. Those who love to gossip must not dare to say that they accept vegetables, but they have accepted more than a dozen honest and capable families. of various dried vegetables.

More than 1000 catties is only more than a hundred dollars.

Jia Haohao was not very satisfied with the gold coins he received this time. He tried his best to help, but it was only more than 300 gold coins.

She can only comfort herself, less is better than nothing.

At least it is enough for Xiaoqi to deduct wages now.

In addition, their family also took the opportunity to keep a lot of dried vegetables, and sent a lot of dried vegetables to Grandma Su and the others, and let Xiaoqi put away the rest.

Before dawn the next day, Zhen Youqin got up quietly and rode a bicycle to the town.

Jia Haohao slept in a daze, but heard some movement, but didn't wake up.

When she got up to go to the toilet and then to the kitchen, she saw Sister Zhen sweeping the floor.

Sister Zhen was a little embarrassed: "I also got up late today, and I don't know when Yu Qin will leave. Fortunately, it didn't rain today, otherwise it would be difficult for him to bring dried vegetables."

It seems to be talking to himself: "I don't know if it's good to bring so many bags of dried vegetables?"

"He will definitely be careful." Jia Haohao knew why Zhen Youqin went so early, just to avoid being suspected by his family that he didn't bring dried vegetables out on the surface.

Seeing that breakfast was corn tortillas, she was really not interested in this, so she took a tortilla and went out: "Sister, I'll go to the captain."

Sister Zhen will definitely not have any objections, because the siblings are now village cadres and can earn five centimeters a day.

Thinking that there is still some meat left to eat, and my siblings don't like steamed buns, how about making pickled pork shredded noodles for lunch?
The office in the village is a small office next to the warehouse. Even if there is nothing to do now, the team leader still has to come for a walk every day.

Jia Haohao came late, so I talked to him about the family planning supplies: "Captain, now everyone is advocating prenatal and postnatal care, and there are many families in our village with more than three families. I went to every household yesterday and asked them, and many of them expressed their unwillingness. I'm born again, I want to apply for a batch of family planning supplies..."

Captain Zhen was smoking dry cigarettes, but when he heard her words, he accidentally choked and coughed for a long time until tears came out.

He was very thankful that his face was originally dark, and he couldn't see the blush.

It's not that he is innocent, after all, when men get together to chat, they will say more explicit things.

But now it's lesbians who are discussing this with me, it's really embarrassing.

After coughing, he waved at her: "It's up to you to make up your own mind. I'll go to the cowshed at the back first. It's okay to kill the New Year's pig early in this weather."

This year, the brigade originally raised five pigs, but later two piglets were not kept. The remaining three pigs were all sent to the slaughterhouse in the town according to regulations.

Of course, this will also get some money, but it can't be too much.

Fortunately, Zhen Youqin and the others had exposed the matter of Lao Lai and the others raising pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks in private. In order to increase everyone's enthusiasm for cutting their tails, the commune prevented them from sending the three pigs to the slaughterhouse.

Therefore, all the old and young people in Nanshanwu are looking forward to killing pigs and dividing the meat as soon as possible.

Jia took a good look at him leaving hurriedly at a pace that was not in line with the usual prudence, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you more shy than me?"

She also began to write about applying for family planning supplies. It was very thoughtful to be concise and to echo the words and sentences of this era.

The consequence of being too serious is to be startled by the huge 'bang bang' sound outside.

She got up, ready to go outside to see what was going on.

I saw Zhen Xiaoer and his younger brother coming in from the outside, and said beamingly: "Sister (sister-in-law), let's pop popcorn outside, shall we pop some corn beans too? Popping a pot costs five cents, add saccharin A piece costs 2 cents."

Jia Haohao went out and took a look. It was a black lacquered iron lump attached to a big sack. The iron lump was almost burned with fire. When someone stepped on it, it made a bang.

She also saw this thing in her memory, and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go home and get corn beans to pop."

Anyway, I feel that such a commotion has the atmosphere of the New Year.

A few days later, the brigade started to kill pigs, and it was the first time that Jia Hao started to work.

Now it’s all communist. Before the pork was distributed, several families in the village still owed the work points and money to the team. She wanted to urge them to pay back, or else they wouldn’t be able to get the meat according to the head this time.

Of course, counting people, their family can get a lot of meat.

The net weight of the three pigs is about 400 catties, and there are only more than [-] people in the village. Those who work more than [-] centimeters can get a catty of meat, and those who work less than [-] centimeters can only get half a catty of meat.

However, even if the child is still young and can't work, he can still get half a catty of meat.

In this way, there are still pig heads, pig feet, pig large intestines, pig livers, pig lungs, etc. at the end of the distribution, and those who want them can buy them separately.

There are quite a few people in Jia Haohao's family now, even with the exception of Zhen Youqin, they can only get half a catty of meat, and they also get four and a half catties of meat.

In addition, Zhen Xiaoer cleverly snatched half a pot of pig's blood.

The last remaining meat was quickly bought.

However, the village has received a lot of meat this year, and many families are reluctant to spend money to buy it.

Jia took good care of keeping the accounts, and at the same time collected the money given to him by the meat buyers.

Of course, the money is considered to be in the brigade, and I will buy some hoes and sickles in the spring of next year.

In this way, a pig's head, two or three catties of pig's liver, one pig's lung, one pig's belly, four pig's feet and the smelly pig's large intestine were left.

Captain Zhen then asked Jia Haohao: "Shall we buy the rest? You choose first."

"Uncle, you pick first, and I'll take all the rest. My family has a lot of people now." Jiahao felt that he could make up for the rest.

Now that she is a village cadre, she was embarrassed to compete with everyone to buy meat before, and she feels that she really has a good image now.

"Then I want pork belly, pig's head, and pig's large intestine." Captain Zhen asked the butchers to weigh the pig's head and belly. Take the money carefully first."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will." Of course, Jiahao will not embezzle this little money.

Jia took good care of having people weigh the rest, and settled the money himself, and then made a note of it, and let the team leader read it, and then put the account book in the office cabinet and locked it.

As for the seventy or so yuan, she dared not put it in the office cabinet to test people's hearts.

Jia Yunhang and Zhen Xiaoer also stayed and waited for Jia Haohao to go home together, and the three of them were still very excited talking about how to burn these good things at night.

However, as soon as they stepped into the house, Zhao Lanfang chased after them and shouted: "Okay, wait a minute."

Jiahao signaled to the younger brothers to go in with their things first, and waited for her to come over, and said hello with a smile: "Mom, what do you want me to do?"

"Isn't Qianqian getting married?" Zhao Lanfang smiled at her: "It's just that the meat is not enough. Your family has a lot of meat, why don't you sell it to me?"

She really wanted to take advantage this time. It cost about one yuan to buy meat outside, and a meat ticket was required, but the meat sold in the brigade only cost [-] cents. She felt that she had already opened her mouth. .

Furthermore, only Zhen Haihai got a catty of meat in their family, and Baojuan and Baoqiang got half a catty each.

In addition, Qianqian's household registration is in the hospital, so she cannot get meat.

"Didn't you also get two and a half catties of meat?" Jiahao noticed it before, after all, she was keeping accounts: "Later, Dad bought a pig's head and three catties of meat. The family is still short of meat?"

Zhao Lanfang didn't expect her to remember it so clearly, and felt that her wishful thinking today would most likely come to nothing.

She forced a smile: "Isn't that right, the main reason is to make it richer, because the people in the village are too polite, and brought a lot of things to Qianqian."

"I have a lot of family members, so I need to save the meat for the New Year." Jiahao looked at her apologetically, "However, I still have a few catties of meat tickets at home, why don't I lend them to you first?"

Zhao Lanfang refused: "Forget it, I'll go to someone else's house and ask."

After she left, Zhen Xiaoer and the others rushed out and began to express their opinions in a hurry: "We don't have enough to eat, and she still wants to come to fight the autumn wind."

"That's right, luckily you didn't agree, elder sister."

"It's a good thing my sister-in-law didn't give her the meat ticket, or else she'll never return."

On the contrary, Sister Zhen's complexion is very bad: "I think she is reminding us not to forget the wedding things."

Jia Haohao suddenly realized: "No wonder the people in the village gave them a lot of things."

He went back holding Sister Zhen's arm again: "Sister, let's cook tonight? Let's have spicy fried pork liver, soy pork feet, pork lung soup, and pickled cabbage and pig's blood. Think about it, it's very delicious."

The others quickly nodded and agreed: "Yes, our stomachs started to growl."

Zhen Youqin was also blessed with good food, and came back this afternoon with big bags and small bags.

He also bought a large piece of meat and a sack of oranges, some caster sugar and two barrels of biscuits, and two barrels of canola oil.

Even if the family only got meat, everyone was very happy to see the three catties of pork belly he brought back.

Especially oranges are hard to come by here, so Jia Haohao ate the oranges and asked him, "It's the 21st of the twelfth lunar month today, haven't you had the holiday yet?"

"It's already a holiday, and this meat and two barrels of rapeseed oil are distributed by the unit." Zhen Youqin looked at her eating oranges, and felt very happy in her heart. She was more satisfied than eating oranges, looked at her and smiled: "It will be the sixth day of next year. Going to work, I can stay at home for half a month."

Sister Zhen was still thinking that her younger brother was spending too much on buying things, how much did the meat and oil cost?

But when she heard that these are all divided, she was so happy that she almost threw the spatula away, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up: "My mother, no wonder everyone said that holding the steering wheel is a rare and good job. With so many good things to share, it’s no wonder everyone wants to work in the transport team.”

It was Zhen Erniu who gently stroked Xiao Qi who hadn't seen her for several days, and mustered up the courage to ask her elder brother: "Brother, don't you take Xiao Qi out in the future? You can't take care of Xiao Qi well because you are busy." , I feel that Xiaoqi is a little thinner."

Anyway, everyone in the family likes Xiao Qi now, and when Jia Hao Hao said that Xiao Qi was taken away by his elder brother as a companion, everyone was worried that Xiao Qi would be thrown outside by him and would never come back.

Zhen Youqin couldn't tell them the benefits of bringing Xiao Qi, mainly because Xiao Qi is really good, did he really earn a fortune by relying on Xiao Qi this trip?

Even if they couldn't tell them, but at night, the couple had had enough of making a fuss on the kang, Zhen Youqin still hugged her and talked about what he did outside in detail: "We went to the south this time, mainly to go to the south. White sugar factory and biscuit factory."

"I really didn't expect that the sauerkraut collected this time would sell very well. It's the same as grabbing it for a dime a catty."

"I brought some white sugar and biscuits over there and sold them. I made a total of 120 yuan."

He himself didn't expect it to be so easy to make money, and he earned more than three months' wages with just such a fiddle.

Anyway, at the moment when he was counting the money, his eyes were really red with joy, and now he can support his family by himself.

Although it was not that he had no money in his pocket before, but the money was spent by his wife for him, and the feeling was really different from the money he earned to spend on his wife.

It feels very good now, and he wants his daughter-in-law to spend his own money in the future.

I just hope that one day I will give her piles of money and let her spend it casually, buying whatever she likes.

Fortunately, he didn't say it now, otherwise Jia Haohao would definitely let him know how much money he can spend, which would definitely make him dumbfounded and never dare to speak big words again.
