Chapter 181: Sweeping the Leaves
"Big One" was babbling, and when he met people, he said: "But I'm scared to death, when I think of holding a snake as big as I can hold in my hand, I have to panic for a while, and I don't dare to pretend to be leaves anymore." Everyone joked with her: "You got up so early in the morning and snatched such a baby bump." ”
She said to everyone, "Can I be like you, I have to sell tofu when I go home." "When the weather is cold, the two of them grind tofu every day, and they run from village to village to change, and the countryside uses beans to exchange for tofu to eat.
Not many people are willing to change it, making more than 20 catties of tofu has to run to several villages, which is quite hard. However, if he earns more and earns less, at least he uses the swill left over from making tofu at home, and raises a sow, and he can sell more than 200 pig seedlings a year.
Hantun Village is responsible for taking care of the Yellow River embankment in Sihuali, and everyone sweeps the leaves according to the position of the mowing time, but there is no competition.
Because he was far away from home, he was afraid of being swept away by people from other villages. People go twice a day, get up early and sweep once in the afternoon. Dozens of families go to me and I go back, and there are basically people under the embankment, which can also play a role in watching.
People from other villages rarely go to the embankment to sweep the leaves, and some people unconsciously take advantage of the lunch time to sweep secretly.
The forest has been distributed to each family, and in their own village, there are no people from other villages to sweep secretly, and people generally sweep once every two days.
Sweeping leaves also has a head, and elm leaves are also fed to pigs. The leaves of the willow and locust trees are placed in the firewood shed and kept to feed the sheep. The poplar leaves are relatively hard and can only be used in pots.
If the wind blows one day and the leaves fall quickly, people stay at the embankment three days a day, sweeping over and over again, I am afraid that they will be swept away by others. The cold wind blew people's faces red, and everyone was reluctant to go home.
In addition to Youyou and Didi, the whole family went out, and Haohao also got up early every day. Every afternoon, Yoyo watched the store at home, grandma and grandpa went to sweep the leaves, came to buy things, Yoyo shouted, and dad came over, this is the benefit of being together.
For about a month, until the leaves on the tree have fallen, every house has a pile of leaves. People are still comparing each other, whose house has a small pile of leaves, and everyone mentions it with contempt: "That's not a family that lives a life." ”
The Yoyo family has a large pile of leaves, after all, there are seven people in the family, which is considered a large family in the village. In fact, there are many alfalfa in the leisurely space, even if there are no leaves, it is enough to feed pigs and sheep.
But grandma didn't think so, she said: "We have to follow the crowd, we can't be special." Sure enough, everyone looked at the pile of leaves in Youyou's house and said: "Look at the people's life, the yard is covered, and the people are not willing to be idle, they still get up early and go to bed late." ”
On October 16, taking advantage of the day of Zhang Jiji, grandma and Youyou went to Linshui and sent 1,200 tweed coats and 3,000 sets of women's clothes to Li Baoguo, and Li Baoguo gave all 138,000 yuan to his grandmother. In just half a year, his liquidity reached more than 100,000 yuan.
He said: "Sister, don't you know, Yuyu went out to the factory in a coat and collected hundreds of pre-made payments, and I have collected money at home in the past few days." I still have to have less tweed coats, and I have to ask for another 1,200 pieces. ”
This time, Yoyo took his grandmother to the Muslim restaurant, and not only asked for roast mutton, but also wrapped their haggis. Grandma said to her helplessly: "I don't know how you grow, you love to eat these useless things." ”
The two also went to the department store and bought four men's cotton coats, one for the uncle, one for the father, one for the grandfather, and one for the uncle. And I asked for ten silk quilts and twenty pairs of silk pillowcases on the silk counter.
Grandma also asked for two batches of the cheapest silk cloth, three yuan and one meter, one batch of rose red, one batch of emerald green, bright and beautiful colors. Grandma said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I could still cover a silk quilt in this life." ”
When I went back, my grandmother asked Yoyo to put away all the silk cloth. "I can't use it yet, it's too eye-catching. He asked Yoyo to take out four batches of the same floral cotton cloth as last time to make bedding for his uncle and grandfather's house.
Now that the weather is cold, the children are starting to wear cotton clothes. Yoyo found several kinds of floral cloth suitable for children to make cotton clothes, the same twenty meters, to make cotton clothes for the children at home.
After arriving home, grandma gave everyone the cotton coat, as well as the cotton monkey that I bought for Sister Zhizhi in Pingcheng last time, and the aunt said: "Aunt, I am about to make one for her, you will buy it back, she learns in the morning and evening, with this coat, it will be much warmer." ”
My uncle and grandmother said: "Your brother has a military coat, like a baby, and he is usually reluctant to wear it, so he wears it when he goes to a meeting in the commune and the county." Now it's okay, I usually wear a cotton coat. ”
Grandma put all the cloth in her east room, and the two aunts worked in it for two days before they finished the bedding that each family needed. Then, I made cotton clothes for the children, first for the Yoyo brothers and sisters, and then for others.
After making cotton clothes, there was still a lot of cloth left, and grandma asked them to make covercoats for the children, which were clean and convenient. The two aunts said: "Aunt, I didn't even make cotton clothes before, so I thought that there was still time to wear a smock." ”
The second aunt bought some blue polyester cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative, and made a pair of pants for each of the children.
She said: "The boy is wearing a splash, aunt, the cotton cloth you bought has to be worn out for a month." The polyester cloth is strong and wear-resistant, and it is easy to wash, and the cotton pants are just right. ”
On October 26, Grandma and Youyou sent 1,200 tweed coats to Li Baoguo. Seeing grandma, the enthusiasm of the two of them, not to mention how tall.
"Sister, I can look forward to you, brother, I've been out of stock for two days. This time, you can prepare 3,000 coats and 3,000 women's clothes for me. Another 5,000 pairs of fleece pants, 2,000 pairs each for black and blue, and 1,000 pairs for sauce-colored pants.
Now, it's cold, and the benefits of our striped pants are showing. Our pants are thick and elastic, and they are covered with velvet pants, which are warm and comfortable, better than wearing cotton pants, and everyone says that they can survive the winter.
Recently, there have been more people buying pants, and even older people have bought them, saying that they are elastic waistbands, which are easy to put on and take off. ”
Yuyu also said: "Aunt, I still want 10,000 pairs of socks, 5,000 scarves and 500 bags of headdresses, and I don't want buttons." ”
After having lunch at Yoyo's house, the two of them took their leave and were in a hurry to deliver the goods, and it seemed that their wholesale business had been launched.
Youyou put 72,000 yuan into the space, and took his grandmother to the non-staple food store. In winter, the family has cabbage and radish every day, and you have already eaten enough.
Fortunately, there is a lotus root seller in the market, and grandma buys it when she touches it, so she can change the taste. Although there are all kinds of vegetables in the space, there is no suitable reason to take them out.
