Chapter 14 Enter the county seat

On February 15, the day finally came, and Xiaoxi got up early.

"Xiaoxi, come and have breakfast, we'll go to the city later," Mom's voice came from the kitchen.

"Well, it's coming soon," Xiao Xi jumped to the table.

Mom had already prepared a hearty breakfast, and dumplings filled with leeks and pork and cabbage were placed on the table.

There has never been such a rich meal, Xiaoxi's family is not rich in the first place, and eating meat is a luxury.

Meat is often eaten only on major festivals to celebrate.

And today is Han Xi's birthday, so my mother prepared a rich breakfast to celebrate.

Xiaoxi also understood her mother's intentions, so she was very happy at this meal, and Xiaoxi had a great appetite and ate fifteen dumplings.

Mom saw Xiaoxi eat so happily, and her heart was both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that Xiaoxi is a year older again, and every mother likes her child to grow up happily.

It's sad that Xiaoxi never shows her sadness in front of her mother, no matter what happens, Xiaoxi won't make her sad.

This is not the mentality of an ordinary six-year-old girl, she is only six years old, and now she has a mentality that is no less than that of an adult.

This made my mother feel distressed and sad, and breakfast was quickly finished.

Mom carries the burden, and Mom has been weaving dustpans and baskets at home these days.

Eventually, these came in handy, and my mother was going to sell them all in the county.

Why buy it in the county town and not sell it in the village or town?

The reason is that people in the village and town will have woven baskets and baskets, so they cannot be sold in the village or town.

And most people in the county don't know how to weave a basket, and even if they do, they won't waste so much time weaving.

It is troublesome to make up a dustpan, it wastes a lot of time, and after it is made, it can't be sold for any money, so who can do this kind of thankless work?

Only a rural woman like her mother would have such a hard time weaving a dustpan.

When you arrive at the county seat, people come and go, unlike the rural areas, which are sparsely populated, and the county towns are indeed much more prosperous than the rural areas.

The traffic is busy, the elderly get together to play chess and play landlords, and the middle-aged people are busy with work, drinking tea and playing cards together in their spare time.

Young people are busy with their studies, carrying school bags and running between school and home.

When Han Xi first entered the county seat, he was still a little scared in his heart, and he heard the people in the village say that the people in the county town were all sinister and cunning people.

The fruits of the peasants' labor are specifically squeezed, which is the reason for the huge disparity between the rich and the poor.

Although Han Xi didn't quite understand what the gap between the rich and the poor was, she knew that insidious and cunning was to describe those bad people.

Therefore, when Han Xi saw the people in the county, there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.

"Xiaoxi, it's still early, let's sell the baskets and baskets at the farmers' market first, okay?"

"Well, then let's go to the farmers' market first," After speaking, Han Xi accompanied his mother to the farmers' market.

The farmer's market is huge, full of stalls, and if you pay the money, there will be a temporary stall at the farmer's market.

Of course, there will be no temporary stall if there is no payment, and Han Xi's mother and daughter can only set up a stall in an inconspicuous place.

The baskets and baskets brought by my mother are of very good quality, and the price is not expensive.

So after a while, a lot of people were fenced up, and the price of eight yuan a piece was sold at once.

"Do you still have any? Next time, I'll order a batch first, I need these good quality baskets and baskets. A bearded uncle said to his mother.

Just now he bought a dustpan and a basket, and he feels that the quality is very good, and it looks cheap, so he wants some more.

"Yes, yes, yes, but what do you want for this dustpan and basket? "Mom kindly reminded her that she didn't want others to be wronged.

If you can't use something cheaper, putting it there will not only waste your money, but also waste its value.

"I know that I am the person in charge of a construction site and need a lot of baskets and baskets," the man replied.

Mom breathed a sigh of relief, she was also distressed to let go of a big business, but if she didn't let go, wasting other people's money would violate her mother's principles.

Although my mother doesn't know any big truths, she knows the principles of being a person very well.

What to do and what not to do, she has a scale in her heart.

After selling the baskets and baskets, I made a total of 128 yuan.

"Let's go, mom will take you to lunch, today is Xiaoxi's sixth birthday, mom hasn't forgotten it. Mom looked happy, she didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly.

Not only was it sold out, but she also got a deposit of 500 yuan, and the bearded man just now had to order a batch of dustpans and baskets.

This is an unexpected surprise, "Xiaoxi, I'm going to surprise you," the mother smiled mysteriously at Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi was confused, a little excited, and a little curious, "Mom has any surprises for me?"

Xiao Xi shrugged her head and thought for a long time. I just didn't want to do it, I followed my mother, and I must know what the surprise my mother was talking about.
