Hearing this, Cheng Qingxue glanced back at Gu Xingshen in surprise, and was in a very happy mood.

"Didn't I think you slept so late last night? ”

After speaking, Cheng Qingxue walked to Gu Xingshen's side and smiled mischievously. "Since you're here, let's hurry up and help, we must dig more coal today. I have already thought that by tomorrow morning, we will carry this coal to the county town and sell it, and we will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money. ”

Hearing Cheng Qingxue's words, Gu Xingshen was shocked.

"Qingxue, I'm afraid that we will be caught by the people of the state for selling this coal, you think about it, we haven't earned work for a long time. If we go to sell this coal at that time, the people in the village will definitely come to us. ”

Gu Xingshen's words, Cheng Qingxue had already thought about it, she was a geological scientist, and it was written in the history books as early as 1980 that coal was recognized by the state as a national thing.

At this time, it is not considered a prohibited product. At most, that is, like the mushrooms on the mountain, whoever picks it up is whom.

"You can rest assured, I have never heard anyone say that this coal belongs to the state, you can sell it with peace of mind, if there is any problem, I will bear it alone." ”

Looking at Cheng Qingxue's confident look, Gu Xingshen hurriedly said: "Where can you bear it alone, the two of us are husband and wife, and we have already registered, so we naturally have to bear it together." ”

After speaking, Gu Xingshen squatted down and began to deal with the snow on the ground.

Fortunately, when he was tracking Cheng Qingxue, he saw Cheng Qingxue's direction, and guessed that Cheng Qingxue must be going up the mountain to dig coal, so he quickly turned back home and picked up the tools and followed.

Looking at Gu Xingshen, who was working hard, Cheng Qingxue's heart was very happy, and she also squatted down and began to pick up anthracite.

After working for a long time, the bag brought by Cheng Qingxue was full. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, fortunately Gu Xingshen followed, otherwise, she really didn't know how to carry back such a big pile of coal.

It was nearly evening before the two men carried the coal back to the cowshed.

After dinner, Cheng Qingxue began to screen the good coal and the bad coal again, each of these coals is naturally the best, and the effect is the same, but the appearance, it is different.

The next day, Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xing set off for the market before dawn.

The two of them found a stall that was not biased and put the back basket of coal on the ground.

After a while, many strange-looking people greeted him.

"What's this black thing?

"Auntie, this is not for food, this is coal, for heating. Cheng Qingxue said as she picked up a piece of coal and put it in the prepared brazier, and with a light touch of firewood, the coal ignited.

"Don't underestimate such a small piece, it can burn all night. ”

The onlookers were pleasantly surprised when they saw the coal in the brazier, this was the first time they had seen such an advanced thing.

"How did you sell this?"

Cheng Qingxue glanced at Gu Xingshen and said lightly: "We came to sell it on the first day today, there is a discount, two cents for one, and 6 for one dollar." ”

Hearing this, many people began to chatter.

"Usually we buy firewood for a night for more than a dime, this coal looks pretty good, if it can really be burned overnight, it is also cost-effective, then I will come home for a dollar to try first." ”

An eldest lady calculated and thought it was a good deal, so she took out the money to buy coal, one dollar, five big coals, and a small coal.

As the eldest lady bought it, many people also bought it.

After a short period of effort, the two baskets of coal brought by the two men were sold.

Cheng Qingxue sat aside and counted the money, and Gu Xingshen looked at Cheng Qingxue with a smile on his face.

"Xingshen, guess how much we bought in total?" Cheng Qingxue said with a happy face.

"Twenty?" The scene just now was too chaotic, Gu Xingshen didn't see the number of people at all, but where he kept loading coal.

Cheng Qingxue shook her head with a smile, and said excitedly: "It was sold for more than eighty yuan in total, this is really a way to make money." ”

"More than eighty?" Gu Xingshen looked at Cheng Qingxue with an incredulous expression, they just wanted to try it this morning, so they didn't bring much coal.

Two small back baskets can be sold for so much money, so if you sell everything at home, won't it be sold for hundreds of dollars?

Thinking about it like this, Gu Xingshen was even happier.

"Let's go, let's go buy something now, buy two thicker clothes for grandpa, it's Chinese New Year's Eve here, and we also have to prepare some New Year's goods." ”

As she spoke, Cheng Qingxue quickly put on her back the basket, and Gu Xingshen hurriedly followed the footsteps.

The two bought a lot of things at the market and planned to go to the clothing store to buy two clothes.

As soon as I walked into the clothing store, the owner of the store greeted me.

"Two, do you want to buy clothes?"

Cheng Qingxue nodded, "Well, we want to buy two winter clothes for the old man to wear, do you have anything warm here?"

Hearing Cheng Qingxue's words, the boss smiled. "Comrade, my house is the biggest clothing store in the bazaar, how can there be none, you wait, I'll go get it for you. ”

After speaking, the boss happily took two coats and handed them to Cheng Qingxue.

After taking the clothes, Cheng Qingxue touched the fabric. The fabric of this dress is indeed more comfortable than that worn by the old man, but it is not particularly good. Since you want to buy clothes for the old man, you must buy the best.

"Boss, the material of your clothes is a little worse, is there any better?"

As soon as Cheng Qingxue's words were finished, a sneer sounded behind him.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Comrade Cheng Qingxue, can you afford better fabrics? Don't tell people when you go out in the future that I'm from the same village as you, I'm ashamed. ”

Hearing the voice, Cheng Qingxue didn't need to look back, just listening to the voice, she knew that it was Xia Yao.

She hadn't found a chance to settle the accounts for Xia Yao a few days ago, but she didn't expect her to send them to the door by herself today.

"Boss, we are sincere in wanting to buy, please take two better fabrics out. ”

When the owner of the clothing store heard this, he glanced at Cheng Qingxue with some embarrassment, he also knew the lesbian who spoke just now, a woman who was the village party secretary in the village, and often bought clothes in his shop.

But he doesn't really like this person very much, and every time he buys clothes, he has a feeling of being on top.

And the one who just spoke was different, even if he didn't buy it, he could still take out the clothes and show her.

"Wait, I'll get it for you. ”

After speaking, the boss hurriedly took out two coats of good quality.

As soon as Cheng Qingxue took over, she liked it very much. She handed the clothes to Gu Xingshen and said happily: "You touch the quality of this clothes, isn't it very good." ”

Gu Xingshen took the clothes and touched them, the material of this clothes was really good, although he had never looked down on these clothes before. But now, clothes made of this fabric are the best for him.

"I think it's good, but it should be expensive, right?"

Although it sells a lot of money to sell coal today, it costs so much money to buy a piece of clothing, and how should they live in the future.

Before Cheng Qingxue could speak, Xia Yao, who had been preparing to watch the joke, said: "Hmph, Comrade Cheng Qingxue, let me see how you slap your swollen face and become fat." If you have the ability, you can buy this dress and give it to the old immortal. ”

As early as yesterday, Xia Yao had already sent someone to inquire about Gu Xingshen's grandfather's life and death, and when she learned that the old man was not dead, Xia Yao did not feel a trace of happiness, but felt that she should have worked harder that day.

If that old man died, maybe Gu Xingshen would immediately abandon Cheng Qingxue and choose to be with her.

Hearing Xia Yao's bad words, Cheng Qingxue was very angry in her heart, and she said lightly: "Comrade Xia Yao, please pay attention to your words." ”

Xia Yao snorted coldly and didn't pay attention to Cheng Qingxue.

"Xingshen, grandpa is old, this dress will be warmer than the clothes at home, let's buy it." ”
