Chapter 76: Rush to buy
This night, the migrant workers were very excited, and everyone's wages were paid. Due to the implementation of the contract labor system, the project was done very well this time, and each person's income was more than 40 yuan.
On the tenth day of April, the headquarters held a summary and commendation meeting, condolences to the migrant workers at noon, and the food station specially allocated a batch of pork to celebrate everyone's achievements. The day after tomorrow, everyone will be able to go home.
On the morning of the 10th day of the fourth lunar month, the embankment of the Yellow River was very lively, and the loudspeakers did not stop since the morning, and the high-pitched and loud revolutionary songs could be heard clearly in the village.
The migrant workers were neatly dressed, held their heads high, and carried the red flag to the meeting energetically. You wanted to follow to see the excitement, but was stopped by her grandmother.
"Don't go, it's too far from home, we're all busy, we don't have time to accompany you. Also, when the people in Shimiao Village heard that the consignment point of Youyoujia was holding activities, they all came to join in the fun, and rushed to buy it with the migrant workers.
It seems that it is a common trait of people to like to be greedy and cheap. Grandma repeatedly explained that the migrant workers did not stop this activity, but they just didn't listen and continued to rush to buy.
The goods that were originally prepared were sufficient, but there was a lot of shortage at once, and grandma left you in order to allow her to replenish the goods at any time. The family was busy, and no one paid attention to her.
You go to the box where the goods are stored, and as soon as your little hand pulls it, the goods are put in. It's a pity that the big gathering of tens of thousands of people didn't have the opportunity to watch it.
Before eleven o'clock, the celebration was over. The commended migrant worker wore a new towel with a red award on it. There are also those who take the new enamel tea pot, and there is also a prize word printed on it.
The accountant of each team came to settle the bill with the receipt, just as Yoyo's mother came back from school. Grandpa asked her to collect the money at the door and reconcile it with the accountant herself.
In fact, it's very simple, Yoyo summed up the documents of each team last night. Grandpa and the accountant just swap the amount, and the accountant has already collected the money. Count the money and return the IOU to them.
The migrant workers had money in their hands, more people came, and the houses were full of people. Yoyo is very busy, this thing is gone for a while, and that thing is gone for a while, and the Yoyo instructed by grandma is going around, fortunately there is Haohao, a little laborer.
Youyou saw that her mother was too busy to be alone, so she asked her grandmother to go to the door to collect money. I and Haohao replenished the stock, but if there was no space to back it, this small supermarket really couldn't open.
At twelve o'clock, the migrant workers went back to eat. The whole family felt tired and sat there and didn't want to move.
At this time, my aunt and aunt came with food: "Zhiyuan went home and said that his aunt's house was too busy for no one to cook, so I hurriedly made it and sent it over." Yoyo, are you hungry?"
"Grandma, I'm hungry. Dee Dee saw the food and ran over.
"You're greedy. Hao Hao disliked him.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, let's eat." "My uncle and grandmother helped set the meal.
"Sister-in-law, I am really tired of cooking for your two today, and I don't want to move. "For the first time, I heard my grandmother say that she was tired.
"You're almost fifty years old, so you'll work more leisurely in the future, and your age will not be forgiving. Auntie instructed.
"Aunt, I still cook the dinner at night, and I can't help here. The eldest concubine said.
"Well, we'll eat at night, you can do it here, save the back and forth. "Grandma arranged.
"Listen to your aunt, you are cooking here at night, and it is inconvenient to serve the soup. Her uncle and grandmother also instructed her.
"Okay, I'll make the soup early. "People here make dinner called soup.
"Sister-in-law, you can watch the children for your two nieces and daughters-in-law in the afternoon, and let them come to help me, I estimate that there will be more people in the afternoon. "Grandma and uncle and grandma want someone.
"Okay, I'll let them both come over after dinner. After the uncle and grandmother finished speaking, they went back with the eldest concubine.
It's really grandma right, there are more people who come in the afternoon, most of them are migrant workers from afar. Youyou commanded the two concubines to load the goods, grandpa and grandma settled the accounts and collected the money, and the five of them formed a small assembly line, which was quite smooth, and there was no crowding.
Yoyo didn't know how many goods he took out of the space, anyway, he stole them out as soon as he saw that they were about to run out, but fortunately, the back of the counter was full of goods, and no one noticed how many things he bought.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, my mother came back from school, and my grandmother asked her to roll noodles and a large pot of white noodles, which had to weigh more than a dozen catties.
Let Hao Hao go to his uncle's house to call someone, and when Sister Wisdom comes, she will go into the kitchen to burn the pot, and her mother and eldest concubine will roll them out one by one. A pot of egg drop soup was made in a small pot as a topping, and everyone took turns to eat.
Youyou can be regarded as having seen the amount of rice that grandma often says, and his uncle and uncle drank four large bowls of noodles and added a bowl of noodle soup. My uncle and grandfather ate it and said to my uncle and grandmother: "It's still me Wanying's cooking, you just give birth to a boy, and you won't give birth to a girl." ”
Uncle and grandmother said to him: "Isn't this wise and wise, not the same as you." ”
Zhigao and Zhiqiang were unhappy, and the two protested in unison: "Grandpa, you prefer women over men." ”
Uncle and grandfather glared: "Grandpa is a woman over a man, look at your wise sister, sensible, obedient and diligent, how can you be like you stinky boys, naughty and mischievous all day long, don't cause something that day." ”
Zhiyuan and Zhiliang protested: "Grandpa, why did you bring us together, we are good boys." The whole family looked at them and smiled.
In the evening, with mom and dad on board, it was much easier, but it was still busy until half past ten at night.
My uncle and grandfather's whole family were packing candy in the house on the east side, laughing and amusing themselves while working, and the laughter came from time to time.
The patriotic uncle came to deliver the packaged sugar, and the migrant workers all said when they saw it: "Look at the opening of this consignment point, for everyone's sake, in our consignment store there, I don't care about you after shouting a few times." ”
Youyou thought to himself: How much is sold in the consignment store is from the country, and I am my own, can it be the same?
Before six o'clock the next morning, migrant workers came to buy things, and they went home today, and they deliberately got up early to come over. Mom is in charge of cooking, and the family is busy again, and even the meals are eaten in rotation.
After breakfast, the two concubines came to help again. The migrant workers left, and the masses of the stone temple came. Then get busy, and continue to do it resignedly. Grandma announced that the scarf activity would be held for another three days, and these three days will not be accepted except for eggs, and the eggs will not be fresh after a long time in the hot weather.
When the nearby villagers heard that her family's consignment was holding activities, they all came to take advantage of it. The villagers are no better than migrant workers, needles and threads, salt, salt, sauce and vinegar, and they are trivial. In order to make up enough ten yuan to buy things to live at home, many people bought ten catties of salty salt alone, saying that the wheat was harvested quickly, and some salted eggs were pickled to pass the wheat.
Grandma remembered that she hadn't pickled salted eggs yet, so she pickled a big crockpot that night, with more than 200 of them, and said happily: "There are many pickles this year, so let the children eat enough." ”
Now his family collects thousands of eggs every day, but grandma is still reluctant. There are seven people in the family, and no one has less than 30 eggs for 200, which is not enough to eat for a month.
A lot of things have been sold out, needles, threads, brains, bulk oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and many other goods, but there are really no in the shopping mall. If it weren't for the trouble of buying goods often and the lack of liquidity at home, many goods would have been prepared, and they would really not be able to hold on.
