Chapter 18: Money is not easy to make
"You can take these books with you when you go lobster fishing tomorrow and give them to Yu Lu. Wake up and go home, clear the textbook of the third year of the Qing Dynasty, and carry it to Su Hao in a plastic bag.
"There are still two days before school starts, and you won't be fishing for lobsters?" Su Hao took the book, "Don't you fish for two more days." ”
"No, you have to go early, you can start signing up now. "The city senior high school is in the city, nearly 20 miles away from Su Xing's house, it is impossible to come back every day, and Su Xing wants to go over early and take a look around.
Su Xing took out a wad of money from his pocket and gave it to Su Hao: "You take the money." ”
"What am I doing with all this money. Su Hao wondered, "You give me money every day, and I can't take this money." ”
"If you take it, take it. Su Xing stuffed the money into Su Hao's pocket, "The cage with the yellow eel is placed here for a while, you keep it, Huang Deren, you know, the lobster and the yellow eel can be sold in the district, it can be more expensive, if you are troublesome, you can sell it in the town." ”
It's useless to keep the yellow eel cage for a while, after the season, there will be fewer lobsters and yellow eels, and they can't be caught at all, so it's better to leave it to Su Hao, he has time, and he can take advantage of the season to get it and make some money.
After returning home, I woke up and found that the third uncle Su Changsheng was here, and the third aunt Li Xiaoyun was also there.
Su Changmin has four brothers in his family, and one sister, Su Changmin is the second oldest among the brothers, and he is also the most unproductive, he doesn't do anything on weekdays, and he doesn't think about improving the conditions at home.
Su Changsheng is different, very rushed, three years ago bought some lambs, herded sheep in the village, can have some income every year, the family house in March and April this year was also changed from a brick house to a two-story small building.
"The woke man is back. Su Changsheng looked at Su Xing and beckoned, "You're going to school tomorrow?"
"Well, I'll go tomorrow. Su Xing nodded, a little puzzled why Su Changsheng came over.
For this third uncle, he didn't hate it when he woke up, but he didn't get close to him either.
In his previous life, he woke up to go to college and couldn't afford to pay the tuition, and his family wanted to ask Su Changsheng to borrow a little, but Su Changsheng didn't borrow it, because he was quite angry when he woke up because of this matter, and he didn't go to Su Changsheng's house again.
Later, when I entered the society, I matured a little more, became less resentful, and thought about it a little more, so I didn't deliberately avoid Su Changsheng.
Although he has a layer of kinship, and he is also his uncle, but when others are rich, it is also other people's money, and it has little to do with himself.
At most, it would be nice to let this relationship fade slowly.
"I lost a sheep at home. Su Changsheng chatted about family life.
"Why did you lose it, was it stolen or lost?" asked Wang Chunlan.
"I don't know, the night before yesterday I drove the sheep back, and when I counted it, I found that there was one missing, and I could sell it immediately, but it was gone, and I didn't find it for most of the night, and I fell down, and you see my hand is broken. Su Changsheng raised his hand, and there were indeed a few scratches on his arm.
"That sheep has been raised since childhood, and they are all raised, and they all know that when they go back, how can they still be lost, I'm afraid it won't be stolen?" Wang Chunlan said.
"I don't know, the family loses a few sheep every year. Mutton is not easy to sell, at this time the mutton is five cents less than last year, a year of hard work, the body is all the smell of mutton, can not be washed off, the home is also messy, are sheep dung. Su Changsheng sighed, "This money is really not easy to make." ”
"That is, you can't make much money raising sheep, or people sell bricks to make money, and when the soil is dug and put into the kiln, it is money. This year's brick price is much higher than last year's, and a brick has risen by two cents. Li Xiaoyun followed and said, "There are two truckloads of bricks dragged at home, which is too expensive." ”
"Hasn't your house been built yet, what do you need bricks for?" Wang Chunlan accosted.
"The house is built, but I still want to make a yard, the ground is covered with a layer of bricks, and then plastered with cement, and a sheepfold is made, so that the house looks cleaner, and the ground is covered with a layer of cement, and the sheep manure is not so tiring to clean up. Su Changsheng said, "It's all money, and all the money earned in a year is used to buy bricks and cement." ”
Wang Chunlan smiled and asked, "Dozens of heads, how can there be no money." Do you have any money to spare at home?"
"I have a lot of money, and I'm going to buy some more lambs, and I'm worried about it now. Su Changsheng shook his head.
"Don't you have a thousand yuan, Xingzi is going to sign up soon, you have to have tuition, 1500 yuan, if you have spare money in hand, lend me 1,000 yuan, and the cotton in the field is harvested, and I will pay you back when you sell the money." Wang Chunlan said.
"What kind of money to borrow, Changsheng's family also has difficulties, didn't you listen to him just now, there is no money to buy lambs, he still has to make yards, pave cement, these all have to be cost, you ask him what he borrowed money for?" Su Changmin interjected.
"It's all my own brother, his nephew has to go to school, almost tuition, I borrowed a little and I didn't pay it back, and when the cotton was harvested and sold, I would pay him back immediately. Wang Chunlan said, "My relatives borrowed money, and I didn't cheat him out of his money." ”
Su Changsheng glanced at Li Xiaoyun beside him.
"Where does Xingzi go to school, do you need such an expensive tuition? I heard people say that the tuition fee for high school is not four or five hundred yuan, and he is not bad at the exam, I heard you say some time ago that he seems to have scored more than 600 points, and when he got to the best school in the city, why does the tuition cost 1,500 yuan? It's not a lie, right?" Li Xiaoyun looked at Wang Chunlan worriedly.
"The school he went to is the best high school in the city, and the tuition is more expensive, and the four or five hundred yuan tuition you mentioned is an ordinary high school. Wang Chunlan said.
"Then go to an ordinary high school, why go to a high school with such expensive tuition, you can save a lot of money in three years. Wake up to study so hard and get such good grades, isn't it the same everywhere you go. Besides, isn't the level of teachers in high schools the same? Worse high schools are even better, and children only know how to study when they go, and they won't learn badly, but if they go to a good high school, and they are still in the city, they may not learn badly, and I heard that many children now go to the Internet and go to the game hall. Li Xiaoyun was very worried, and told him to wake up, "You can't go to those places, don't go to schools with such expensive tuition, just go to ordinary schools, if you have difficulties at home, you should think more about your family." ”
"I told them a long time ago, so I went to an ordinary school, and there was a teacher I knew, a relative of my aunt, who could help take care of it, but they didn't listen, so they had to go to a good school and throw money into it. Finally met a person with the same opinion as himself, and Su Changmin immediately came to his senses.
Wang Chunlan hesitated again and looked at Su Xing: "Why don't we go to an ordinary school and go to the second middle school?"
