Chapter 15: Three Younger Brothers and Sisters (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
A vendor next to him saw that all his bamboo shoots were sold out, and he couldn't help but be a little envious: "It's still easy to sell your new thing, and it was all sold at once." ”
This vendor sells fruits, and there are many types of fruits, and at first glance they are out-of-season fruits from wholesale.
Moreover, he is not the only one who sells all kinds of fruits on the street, so the sales are quite bumpy, and only a few dozen catties of fruits are sold in one afternoon.
Therefore, seeing Liu Qingshan's bamboo shoots selling so smoothly, it is not to be envious.
Liu Qingshan smiled: "You only saw me selling bamboo shoots so quickly when I sold them, but you didn't see how hard I worked when I dug bamboo shoots." ”
This is said as if he is very laborious to dig bamboo shoots, in fact, there are more mosquitoes in the mountains, and the sun is a little hot.
"Yes. The hawker who didn't know the truth nodded, "In these years, it is not easy to eat that bowl of rice, we who sell fruits, we seem to be relaxed, but we have to go to the county seat to wholesale fruits at three o'clock in the morning every day." A pound of fruit earns a few cents, but you can't earn much in a day. ”
"Haha, it's okay, you guys call it a long stream, my winter bamboo shoots, it's worth a little money during this time, and after a few days, there will be more people digging it, and it won't be worth much." With that, Liu Qingshan had already packed up his things and rode away on his little broken car again.
Back at the proprietress shop, the proprietress had already sold the bamboo shoots.
When she handed over the money to Liu Qingshan, she saw that there were no bamboo shoots on the motorcycle at the door, and she knew that Liu Qingshan's hundred catties of bamboo shoots had also been sold out.
The proprietress was happy for him: "It seems that you kid is really lucky, so many bamboo shoots, you sold them out so quickly." ”
"Hehe, actually, it's because I met a big customer, and I bought dozens of catties of bamboo shoots at once. Liu Qingshan told the truth, told the story of the man he met who drove a tattered off-road vehicle, and finally added a comment, "Don't look at the man driving a tattered pickup truck, but with his elegant speech and demeanor and generous shots, he looks like a very rich person." ”
"There must be money. The proprietress laughed, "If I can buy dozens of catties of bamboo shoots at once, I am also a rich man." After all, a pound of bamboo shoots costs ten yuan, and you also said that people are not willing to take advantage of your few dollars. ”
"yes. Liu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the hidden man, "If only I could meet such a big customer every day." ”
The proprietress nodded: "Of course, I also want to meet such customers every day, but in a mountain like ours, it is obviously impossible for you to meet such a big customer every day." Moreover, I think that after the people in the town have seen you sell winter bamboo shoots, they all know that winter bamboo shoots can be dug up in the bamboo forest now, and after that, your winter bamboo shoots will be a little difficult to sell. ”
"Why?" Liu Qingshan was puzzled.
"You think, ten yuan a pound of bamboo shoots, buy two pounds of it will cost twenty yuan, if you want to eat a good one, buy three or four pounds, but it will cost thirty or forty yuan, then others might as well dig it themselves, although they may not dig much, but it is definitely enough to eat by themselves. Moreover, there are some old men who can really endure it, even if they are old, but as long as they know what to dig to make money, they will definitely dig it. If they dig ten catties a day and sell them for eight yuan a catty, they can sell them for eighty yuan. Nowadays, it is not easy for an old man to find 80 yuan. ”
The proprietress's words made Liu Qingshan worry again: "Boss, you're right, it is estimated that when I catch up with the market the day after tomorrow, if I bring bamboo shoots down, I may not be able to sell so much." ”
"You can try to sell it in the county seat, as you just said, only in the city can there be such rich people, go to the county seat to sell, and it is estimated that the price can be sold higher." ”
Seeing Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, the proprietress continued: "Although it is said that if you go to the county seat to sell, the distance is a bit far, but whether you sell it in the town or go to the county seat, you have to spend a day, so it is really better to go farther and sell it in the county seat for a little more money." ”
"Ha, yes. Liu Qingshan's eyes not only lit up, but his tone also jumped, "Why didn't I expect that I would go to the county seat to sell it the day after tomorrow, boss, thank you." ”
"Thanks, I'll just help you come up with ideas. ”
"You've already helped me come up with several ideas. Hostess, next time I dig up other good things, I'll definitely send you some. ”
"Then I'll wait. ”
I left the proprietress's shop, bought some food and snacks, and walked to the second grandfather's house in the village.
The second grandfather and the husband of the grandmother's early death, the eldest grandfather, are biological brothers of the same father and mother, and Liu Qingshan's grandfather are just cousins of the same grandparents.
However, whether it is an immediate family member or a collateral relative, they are all relatives.
So in the past, when Liu Qingshan was not at home, if there was anything at home, the second grandfather and the second uncle would help without care.
When the eldest grandfather was alive and the second grandfather was still young, the two brothers were well-known in the village for being diligent. Therefore, a few years after the eldest grandfather took the lead in building a cement building in the outer village, the second grandfather also built the house.
Moreover, later the second grandfather added another layer to the house. Therefore, the house of the second grandfather's family is a two-story cement building.
However, due to their age, the two-storey concrete building now looks very old, and the exterior wall of the first floor has a lot of moss at the root, and it is more than two meters high.
As soon as Liu Qingshan's broken motorcycle stopped in the big yard, the three little hairy children ran out screaming.
The uncle got married late, so the oldest is about five years old. The younger ones are four and three.
Looking at the ages of these three little hairy heads, you can know that the eldest aunt is born one child after another.
If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't afford to raise so many children, it is estimated that the uncle and aunt would have to give birth.
Of course, this can only be blamed on the lack of contraceptive propaganda.
"Brother, brother. Before Liu Qingshan's car was stable, the eldest brother hugged Liu Qingshan's thigh, "Brother, brother, I miss you so much, I heard that you are back, I want to see you, but my father won't take me." ”
"Zijun, my brother misses you too. Liu Qingshan hurriedly set up the car and touched his brother's pot lid.
Who knows, the younger brother let go of his thigh, "I'm Zihui, not Zijun, it's a lie when you say you want me, you can't even remember my name and say you miss me, hum ╯^╰." ”
The little guy got angry and tilted his head and walked away in a huff.
Immediately afterwards, the second sister, who was wearing two pigtails and a dirty face, ran over, tilted her little head, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, I really miss you." ”
"Haha, it's still Zijun who is the most well-behaved. ”
The little guy rolled his eyes: "I'm Zixuan." ”
Liu Qingshan sweated, stared at the youngest bald brother and said, "Then you must be Zijun." ”
The little guy was a little scared, but he just stood far away, looked at Liu Qingshan with a smile, and didn't speak.
Children under the age of three are naturally not so bold.
The second grandfather walked out of the house, saw Liu Qingshan, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "I said why did these guys run so fast, it turned out that Qingshan you came." ”
Liu Qingshan took off the big bags and small bags of things from the car, and also walked towards the second grandfather: "I've been back for a few days before I came, don't blame me." ”
"Hey, what are you doing here, go, go into the house, and ask your second grandmother to make you a pot of Guyu tea. The second grandfather stared at the things in Liu Qingshan's hand, and said a little unhappily, "Qingshan, it's not that I said you, I told you before, just eat when you come to eat, don't buy so many things, why don't you listen?"
The second grandfather's words were not polite, but he was really a little angry.
Liu Qingshan is also his grandson, although he is not a direct grandson, but he is definitely much closer than those relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, so seeing Liu Qingshan squandering like this, he really hates iron and steel.
You think, his nephew is such a son as Liu Qingshan, if Liu Qingshan also becomes like his bastard eldest son, then the old Liu family will become a laughing stock in the village in the future.
It is estimated that when others talk about the Liu family in the future, they will subconsciously think of words such as laziness, profligacy, and poor eggs.
Liu Qingshan knew the second grandfather's thoughts, so he comforted: "Second grandfather, don't worry, I have a number in my heart, I won't spend money indiscriminately, all this money is spent where it should be spent." ”
