"Big brother, we don't screen either, you can see if this price is okay," the sportswear said to his father with a smile.

"You're adding a dime and a half, and the price is not high," Dad thought for a moment.

"At most, I will add five more points to you, I want all the melon seeds on this plastic sheet, and the amount you put in your hand is getting less and less day by day" The sportswear looked at his father.

"My melon seeds are very dry, and there are no sundries, the price I put is already very fair, I just want to buy them all at once" Dad's voice was unhurried.

"I'm a dime at home, big brother, the price of melon seeds this year is really low, I also want to make a profit, your melon seeds are really clean, and it's convenient for me to sell them, so I just gave this price" The sportswear smiled bitterly, and it seemed that he had made a lot of determination.

I heard the sportswear say this, and I felt that the price was okay, and I didn't know until later that the little melon seeds we bought from them were not enough for half of the people, and they sent tons of melon seeds to the processing plant.

"Hehe, add one dime and five, you can't be low" Dad resolutely did not let go.

"Then you just put it in your hand, I'll see when you can sell it, go" The gray jacket spat on the ground and was about to leave.

Why does this person speak so ugly, as the saying goes, buying and selling is not benevolence, can you still sell things at a loss, I thought in my heart, frowned and glanced at the gray shirt coldly.

The gray jacket seemed to feel it too, and glanced sideways at me, snorting incessantly.

"Big brother, I'll look at it like this!, add a dime and three to you, and give me a round-trip gas money" Sportswear is also a must.

Dad and Mom glanced at each other, and Mom nodded slightly.

"Okay, just according to the price you said, but after you get the bag on the car, you won't wipe the change in the end."

Dad said this because sometimes when selling grain, some people finally check out, and when they see a few tens of yuan, they don't want to give it, which looks like a few dozen yuan in 16 years, but ten years ago it was not a little, and it was still in the small city where I lived.

"Hmph! I can still give you money, I'll give you a dime," the gray jacket snorted disdainfully.

"Big brother, let's see if we're starting to bag up," the sportswear smiled at Dad.

"Okay, you have a scale!" Dad asked.

"Yes," the tracksuit nodded suspiciously

"There's a bag of fertilizer, all bought according to the standard, there are catties on it, try your scale, try my scale," Dad finished and looked at Mom. Mom turned around and went into the shack to find the scales.

"Don't try it, just use your scales," the tracksuit waved his hand.

The gray shirt looked extremely unsightly, but he didn't say anything.

This buy grain scale bag is also particular, at that time there was not so much pound of electronic scale, can only use the most primitive rod scale (there is a ring on the head of the scale, put in the stick when using, there is a hook at the bottom of the scale, hook the goods to be weighed, and then two people lift, in one person to see the number of pounds, now basically no) scale grain (the most primitive scale is generally not, because the scale price is high, not widely used), will do the hands and feet of the traders sometimes do it on the scale, a little smarter when the scale things are done, when the thing leaves the ground to see the number of pounds of people suddenly shouted out the number, because the moment of inertia will make the scale rod sink downIn this way, the weight of the scale is lighter than the actual weight, and the large grain sellers generally have to sell hundreds of bags of grain, so that those who buy grain can save hundreds, or even thousands of yuan.

"Ahh

"Brother-in-law, you have a cold, you have to take medicine quickly!" said the tracksuit as he dodged the sneezing of the gray shirt.

"It's a little cold, it seems that I've been drinking too much in the past few days, I'll have to go to the restaurant less in the future, drink less, my son will call Lao Yang, stew me a few bullfrogs, and I'll go back to eat at night" Gray Jacket shouted to the boy standing next to the car.

The boy didn't speak, picked up his clothes, took out the phone from the phone case he was carrying around his waist and started making calls.

"Do you have cold medicine" The gray jacket stretched out his hand, his nails were covered with black mud, wiped his eyes and mouth, and raised his chin at me.

"Xiaolin, go to the house and bring out a plate for our cold medicine, and get some water," my mother said to me.

"Oh!" I replied, and went back to the shack to get a plate of cold medicine, and took a bowl of water from a bowl and brought it to the gray jacket.

The gray jacket took the medicine, looked at the dose, took two tablets, and the saved ones were carried in his pocket casually.

"This medicine won't be poisonous, will it poison me, there are too many people who pretend to be well-wishers to kill me now" The gray shirt looked at me with slanted eyes.

I felt the urge to smash the bowl in my hand on his head.

"Uncle has a lot of experience in traveling from south to north! Be careful when you go out, don't expose your money, don't brag to strangers that you are rich, make people mistakenly think that you are really rich, that is the disaster comes from the mouth" I smiled.

"Hmph!" Grey Jacket looked at me with some smugness and disdain.

"Let's bag it!" said the tracksuit as he slanted his gray shirt and frowned.

At this time, the gray shirt also turned around, and felt that what I just said was a little wrong, but he couldn't speak, so he could only look at me with an unkind face.

I smiled at him, which made him even angrier, and he turned his head and didn't speak.

I started to load the bags, my father and sportswear carried the bags, my mother and the gray jacket looked at the scales, I helped to load the melon seeds, more than two hours, all the melon seeds on the ground were loaded into the car, more than 10,000 catties.

"I don't have change, just more than 30 yuan" The gray jacket put away the bag containing the money and wanted to leave.

"I have this, I'll give it to you, let's start with a good talk, don't wipe the change" Dad squinted his eyes and stared at the gray shirt.

"Who is missing those dozens of dollars, I don't have change" The gray jacket spread his hands, and it seemed that he didn't want to give it.

"I said I'll find you," Dad's face was already a little gloomy.

"No, I have change here" was at a stalemate when a loud voice came from the intersection.

When I saw it, it was the landlord's neighbors, and relatives who were farming near my house, and three or four people came.

"Just look for change if you have it," the sportswear that had been talking for a long time hurriedly smiled and handed over a hundred yuan.

The gray jacket looked at us and stopped talking.

When buying grain, in order to be afraid that the stevedores brought by the second-tier dealers will steal the grain (this situation often happens, a bag of grain is more than 100 yuan) or falsely report the amount, the people who buy the grain will ask their relatives or friends in the vicinity to help watch it, in case of accidents. Because of the small number of melon seeds this time, my father didn't look for it, but I didn't expect to almost have an accident.

Gray tops and tracksuits drove away.

"These things still want to pay their bills, I have to meet you here," my mother smiled at my relatives.

"We were also in a hurry, and I happened to go to the tunzi to buy something," my relatives laughed.

"I'm here to get the melon seed machine, I just finished cutting it yesterday, and I want to beat it," the landlord neighbor also said to his father with a smile.

Everyone was polite for a while, and left after finishing their errands.

"How much did you earn" Seeing the people leaving, I hurriedly asked my mother.

"What do you earn, I didn't lose money just now, I have been tired in vain this year," my mother sighed.

I suddenly felt like I was topping myself with cold water.

"We planted melon seeds in the first year, we had no experience, there was more fertilizer, the sunflowers grew too tall, the head was small and the yield was low, if it was normal, we could earn thousands of yuan," my father explained, also with a wry smile.

"Isn't that a year of work for nothing," I thought of the pain of working in the fields and entering the marrow of my bones, and I felt very sad.

"It's good that I didn't lose it, if the price of rice is high this year, everything will come back," my mother smiled and comforted me when she saw that I was depressed.

"It's going to be fine," I cheered myself up.

"Look at the two people just now, when you enter the society, don't learn from the one who wears a gray shirt, what is that, talking and doing things are annoying, that kind of person doesn't want to get rich in his life, you look at the one in sportswear, laughing, talking to people very politely, in fact, he is a smiling tiger, he has an idea in his heart, you usually have to be like that person, you can only eat in the society" My mother took the opportunity to educate me.

I nodded, in fact, this incident did not affect me deeply at that time, but when I encountered difficulties at work in the future, I was slandered in the back, because I had conflicts with colleagues when dealing with things, and I thought that my emotional intelligence was sometimes really low.

Pretending to be eggs, pretending to be high are all manifestations of incompetence, the same people, why can people handle the relationship between colleagues and things at work, you can't, and always blame others for not cooperating with their work, complaining about this and that, in short, it is the fault of other people and society, just yourself, many students who have just graduated out of school are like this, if the thinking can be turned around, maybe they can do something, and if they can't turn around for the rest of their lives, they will be mixed at the bottom to be an angry youth.

Time is still unhurried, before the harvest of rice, a small thing happened in my family, has long been with the widow rolled through the firewood stack of the pillar uncle, and finally the old tree bloomed, the people's belly bigger, this in this relatively closed small tunzi is an eye-catching scandal, the widow's original son came to the pillar to settle accounts, almost with a sickle to the de facto stepfather. Seeing that her family was opposed to simply eloping with Uncle Zhuzi, this kind of bloody plot that can only be seen in novels and film and television dramas was staged alive next to me.

Mom and Dad actually knew that Uncle Zhu was going to run, so they settled Uncle Zhu's salary for a year in advance, and in the next few years, Uncle Zhu would call his father and mother every Chinese New Year. He and the widow gave birth to a little girl, and the two of them have always been working outside the home to earn a living, and they lost contact later, and I don't know how they are doing.

The day of harvesting rice has finally arrived, the combine harvester is difficult to hire, my family looked for three or four days to hire a car, the young man who drove the harvester is very good, it can be seen that he is a family person, does not drink or smoke, work happily, I and my parents carry a sickle and follow the harvester, because the edge of the rice field harvester can not be harvested, can only use the sickle to harvest themselves, the machine received at one o'clock in the morning to stop, because that time period to about five o'clock in the morning there is dew, if the rice is harvested, a pile of piles, will let the rice ferment naturally, then the rice is finished。

Rice harvested for three days, our family's legs were almost broken in the ground, think about the harvest of more than ten hours a day without stopping, it is really life-threatening, after harvesting every day, it is necessary to dry every day, use a big spade to raise rice, listen to the weather forecast with the radio every day, as long as it feels like the sky changes, it is covered with plastic sheeting, and the rain comes in the middle of the night and wears a single coat to dig out the waterproof ditch, in short, the two words "bitter wow" life is not easy, it is not easy to make money.
