Love is the most indispensable thing for Mrs. Tan.

She has been married to the old man for half a century, no matter how many fights she has had with others outside and how many face-tore she has tore, she has never quarreled with her old man for half a word, nor has she said anything serious.

No matter how many people outside dislike her and don't like her, the old man in the family still treats her well for decades.

When she came back late from the mountain, he would always walk to the door and guard it worriedly.

She had a cold, and he always used his clumsy hands to help her cook a bowl of ginger soup.

She was tired, so he sat beside her and gently pounded her back.

When she was cold, he would hold her feet in his arms and cover her feet with his warm belly.

Love, all the time.

But the old lady in the mountains doesn't understand what 'love' is. They only know that each other's company is the warmest thing.

For Liu Qingshan and Tan Dasha, this kind of thing is really distant and ethereal, so it's better to make money first.

"I just want these eight bags. In one afternoon, the two of them had already picked up all the charcoal in the mountains and returned it to Liu Qingshan's house to put it.

A bag of charcoal weighs about fifty catties, and with the addition of charcoal crushing, there are twenty-one bags in total.

That's about a thousand pounds.

Liu Qingshan casually pulled out eight packs of charcoal, pointed to the eight packs of charcoal and said: "Uncle Dasha, you helped build roads and help my family open up barren mountains, fortunately for you, I want these eight packs, and the remaining thirteen packs will be yours." ”

"Huh? Tan Dasha said stupidly, "Let's burn charcoal together, and you contribute a lot, if you want to share a little more, then you should also share a little more." ”

"Hey, what's this. Liu Qingshan smiled, "I didn't give you this charcoal for nothing." ”

"Huh?

"Yes, I'm afraid my family won't be able to grow vegetables this winter, and my family's vegetables will have to be taken from your house for free in the future." This charcoal should be regarded as green vegetable money. ”

"Hehe, Qingshan, even if you don't have this charcoal, as long as you want to eat vegetables, you can just go to my vegetable garden to pick them, no money." ”

"That's not good, my brother still settles accounts. Liu Qingshan looked at the night sky, only to see the bright moon in the sky, presumably tomorrow will be a sunny day again, "If you don't want this charcoal, then we won't cooperate to burn charcoal in the future." ”

"Why?" Tan asked in confusion, "Why, can't I ask for a little less charcoal?"

What kind of reasoning is this?

"Of course not, if you don't listen to me and ask for more charcoal, then I don't want to go, I don't want to owe everyone a favor, understand? So, if you want to continue to cooperate, then you must accept all this charcoal, so that I feel comfortable, and I can continue to cooperate with you." ”

Tan Dasha seems to understand.

But I don't really understand it.

Anyway, what Liu Qingshan says is what it is. His mind won't turn either, it's better to think a little more than to think less.

He first pulled four packs of charcoal home, and then turned back to pull five packs with Liu Qingshan and four packs of charcoal, and took all thirteen packs of charcoal home.

Mrs. Tan looked at the dozen or so packs of charcoal piled up in the yard, and was stunned: "Qingshan, this, all this charcoal was burned by you?"

"Yes, Grandma Tan, how is it? Amazing!" Liu Qingshan patted the bag proudly, and there was a gurgling sound in the bag, which frightened him and quickly stopped.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, I'll count it, two, four, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen? ”

"What thirteen packs. Tan Dasha picked up a bag of charcoal and moved it inside, "Qingshan asked for eight packs, and I asked for thirteen packs, a total of twenty-one packs." ”

"Twenty-one packs? Are you kidding?" Mrs. Tan couldn't believe that more than twenty packs of charcoal had been burned in just a few days?

Even chopping firewood may not be able to cut about 20 loads of firewood in this week.

However, his stupid son is different from Liu Qingshan's kid, Qingshan loves to brag, but her son is very honest, her son said twenty-one packs, then it must be twenty-one packs.

Oh my God, twenty-one packs!

"Twenty-one packs, how many catties of charcoal do you have to have?" Mrs. Tan counted her fingers for a while, but she didn't count them, and then she looked at Liu Qingshan, who was smiling on the side.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "It's not a lot, it's about a thousand catties." ”

"A thousand catties!" Mrs. Tan's eyes widened, "Then the charcoal kiln you dug is really big enough." ”

"That's right, it's basically all dug in the green mountains, and I haven't dug much. Tan Dasha put a bag of charcoal in it, and came out to carry a second bag, "The charcoal kiln is almost as big as my room." ”

"Well, it's going to take a lot of wood just to fill the charcoal kiln. Mrs. Tan asked again.

"Yes, the wood is basically cut by Aoyama. ”

Mrs. Tan was puzzled: "In this case, why does our family need thirteen packs, and Qingshan only needs eight?"

If the charcoal kilns are basically dug in Qingshan, and most of the wood is cut in Qingshan, shouldn't there be more Qingshan and less in her family, but now, how can this be reversed?

"Grandma Tan, Uncle Dasha said that he wanted to sell charcoal tomorrow, so I asked him to sell a few more packets, and if the extra packs of charcoal are half of the money for me, then it will be my money to buy your vegetables. This year, my family may have to eat your winter's vegetables. ”

"Oh, yes, your garden has been plagued by wild boars. But, Qingshan, my dishes are worthless, you don't need to give us so much charcoal, besides, this charcoal can be burned, you spend the most effort, you should have a little more, but now it is my family who wants more, this has to be said, others may have to say what to say about our family. ”

"Oh, don't think about it so much, anyway, it's settled, I have to eat your family's greens for a winter this winter, and I'll let Uncle Dasha pull a few more packs to sell this charcoal, and you don't have to shirk it." Besides, although I put a lot of effort into it, if it weren't for Uncle Dasha's insistence on going to the fire every day, this charcoal would not have been burned. So, a large part of the reason why this charcoal can burn so well is because Uncle Dasha has come up with technology, and I just have some effort, which is not worth mentioning. ”

Liu Qingshan said this, and Mrs. Tan really didn't want to say anything.

However, after thinking about it, she had to worry about her son again. Seeing Dasha come out again, she hurriedly asked, "Dasha, are you going to sell charcoal tomorrow?"

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"Sell charcoal. Mrs. Tan lowered her face slightly, and said worriedly, "You said that if you were to sell vegetables and be fooled, you would lose more than a dozen yuan at most, but you could sell charcoal, as far as your brain was concerned, if you were fooled, the loss would be hundreds or even hundreds of dollars." ”

"Mom, don't look down on me so much, okay. I'm not very smart, but I'm not stupid, and even if I can't do arithmetic, I don't have a mobile phone calculator. Tan Dasha was a little speechless.

"I'm not worried that you'll make a mistake, I'm afraid you're being deceived. Mrs. Tan frowned and said, "Do you think, last year when you went to sell vegetables, they took a few handfuls of vegetables and said that they would send you money for a while, but what happened? Dasha, those dishes are only a dozen yuan in total, and if they are gone, they will be gone, but this charcoal is different, how can this bag of charcoal cost more than 100 yuan. ”

Speaking of the fact that the green vegetables were taken for nothing, Mrs. Tan felt quite uncomfortable.

She really couldn't figure out how there could be such a shameless person in this world, who even had to take vegetables for nothing. Is that thing rare? Is it expensive? If you don't want to spend money on it, you can grow it yourself. Unexpectedly, this incident actually happened to her family.

It can be seen that there are many good people like Qingshan in this world, but there are also many bad people.

If she let her stupid son sell charcoal alone, she really couldn't rest assured.

She frowned, thought for a while, and said, "That's okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

"Mom, don't be funny, you're so old and you still go with me to sell charcoal, isn't that looking for guilt, and don't look at the sun during the day, but when you go out in the morning, the wind is cold. Just wait at home, I won't be bullied. Tan Dasha has always listened to his mother's words, but this time, he can't listen.

It's winter after all, and the temperature is not high in the morning, and the wind is cold, especially when riding on a motorcycle, the wind blows over your face, like a knife. Not to mention that people in their seventies and eighties like her mother can't stand it, even middle-aged people like him have to shudder.

"But ......"
