Chapter 162: Buying Coal
Hearing that he didn't say a word about sending coal, he began to transport the coal to the house, but this time Ruofei was not so lucky, the sound and shouting of the master's tractor had already alarmed the neighbors on both sides, so when he saw Ruofei in the yard, someone came to say hello.
"Xiya, your mother-in-law is here?" Grandma Song next door came out of her house and looked at Ruofei and asked.
"Mother, my mother-in-law didn't come, I happened to come to the exam today, so I opened the door for my mother-in-law by the way. Ruofei said with a smile.
As soon as she heard that Zhao Cuiying didn't come, Grandma Song was immediately disappointed.
"What kind of test, how can you take the test on the street?" asked Grandma Song again.
"The final exam for junior high school. Ruofei replied as a matter of course.
"By the way, your mother-in-law said last time she came to the brick factory that you skipped a grade, what a smart kid, how did you do in the exam?" Grandma Song is about the same age as Ruofei's grandmother, and then she is the next-door neighbor, so the relationship between the two is very close, and Ruofei is like her own grandchild.
Ruo smiled shyly and whispered, "It's okay." ”
Listening to Ruofei's words, Grandma Song laughed, reached out and touched her head, and said lovingly: "Study hard, it's not easy for your mother to provide for you, and you will only be able to be admitted to college in the future." ”
Ruofei nodded and replied, "I know, mother." ”
Grandma Song squinted and smiled, and then asked, "How much is your coal?"
"One out of five. Ruofei replied honestly, but she was a little anxious, and she was very afraid that Grandma Song would say something to her grandmother.
"It's a little more expensive than my family, my mother-in-law will tell you about the coal, how can you bully you as a child." "Grandma Song's family runs a small restaurant, and coal is used more frequently, so she has to sell coal for a long-term business. Naturally, it will be a penny cheaper than others.
It's just that although Grandma Song knows this reason, she doesn't want Ruofei to spend more money, so she stepped directly into the house and found the person who delivered the coal to theorize, Ruofei outside the house wanted to slap her face, she didn't care about the money but didn't want to make a fuss, if she let the family know, how to explain it.
Ruofei, who was very helpless, followed into the house. Grandma Song was haggling with the master who delivered the coal. Knowing that Ruofei didn't pay the full amount, he immediately insisted on making people a penny cheaper, and the master who delivered the coal was very depressed. Originally, the price had been agreed, but the old woman who suddenly appeared made a fool of himself, causing him to earn more than 100 yuan less.
There are thousands of pieces of coal for a tractor, and one piece is less than one point. A hundred pieces are less than one, and a thousand pieces are one hundred pieces less. Not to mention that this tractor was loaded with 1,800 pieces of coal.
"I said Mrs. Song, this is not the coal from your family, what are you doing with so much care?" The person who delivered the coal obviously knew Grandma Song, and angrily said disrespectfully to the grandmother.
"Okay, you crooked son. You bully other people's babies and ask for a price, obviously this coal is four cents. You just want five cents for the little baby, are you relying on Lao Zhao's absence? Bullying her baby?" Grandma Song is not a vegetarian either, and scolded Li Crooked Zi without showing weakness at all.
Li Crooked is very depressed, isn't his coal usually at this price, everyone knows five cents a piece, and the big customers are only four points, of course, the Zhao family is an exception, because of the good relationship with the Song family, so usually the coal of the two families is sent together, so it is also four points.
Although as soon as he heard the address, he should have sold it for four cents, but didn't he see that the person was a child, so he thought that one more cent was one point, and besides, he didn't add more money, it was originally five cents a piece.
"Mrs. Song, you go and inquire, where to go to me to get this honeycomb coal, I didn't ask for more, and I moved this coal into the house, no matter what, there is no lion to bully the little doll." Although Li Crooked is a little greedy, he is not a bad person, although he did not give Ruofei a discount, but he did send the coal to the door, and he also helped to move it to the house, and it was usually unloaded at the door of the house.
In that case, I will tell my son, if I don't go to your house in the future, I will sell your coal to others. Grandma Song also opened her mouth politely, anyway, she had to help this baby save money no matter what.
Isn't this a big customer, Li Crooked Zi suddenly calculated in his heart, turned his head to look at Ruofei, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, and suddenly said angrily to Ruofei: "What kind of bad luck have I done, since it is from Master Zhao's family, even if you have four points, when will your mother-in-law come to open the store, let her make a few clothes for my family, and charge me less." ”
Ruofei nodded again and again, but she felt a little bitter in her heart, what is this called, do you have to confess to her grandmother about the space? Ruofei has a headache when she thinks about it, although her grandfather and grandmother love her, but there are some things that cannot be shared, in her heart, she just wants to be filial to them, let them enjoy their old age in peace, and never think about sharing space.
After all, no one is perfect, it is the same thing for grandpa and grandma to love her, but she is not the only one in the minds of grandpa and grandma, after all, there are uncles and aunts and her mother, because she knows many things in the future, so although Ruofei is grateful, she does not dare to completely trust her grandfather and grandmother.
Ruofei really had a headache at this time, Grandma Song over there stared at Li Crooked Zi unloading coal, and helped Ruofei count one by one, for fear that Li Crooked would not be honest, but she didn't have time to care about Ruofei.
Ruofei, who was standing on the side, was a little absent-minded, and when the coal was unloaded, Ruofei took out the money she was going to give to Li Crooked, and Grandma Song on the side naturally counted it carefully before handing it over to Li Crooked, for fear that Ruofei would make a mistake.
Because she knew that Grandma Song was kind, Ruofei became more and more angry and had nowhere to spill, and when the coal was ready, Grandma Song also dragged Ruofei to her own restaurant to eat after she died.
Sending Grandma Song away, Ruofei waved her hand and put the coal into the space, which smelled like a broken jar, relocked the door and rushed to the school for the exam, and as soon as she got there, she saw Guo Jinglan and Wang Xiangyun who were waiting a little anxiously.
"Shen Ruofei, where are you going crazy, do you know that you have already finished the exam, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Guo Jinglan shouted at Ruofei.
Wang Xiangyun on the side also looked at Ruofei, looking like they were waiting for an explanation, to be honest, they were really worried about Ruofei, after all, Ruofei was young, it was normal for them to be uneasy, and Ruofei was indeed their cousin, and they were very derelict as cousins not optimistic about Ruofei.
Ruofei, who knew that he was wrong, immediately apologized, and explained where he went while apologizing, and finally fooled the two of them, and then turned around and walked home together. (To be continued.) )
