It took more than a day to fold all the wrapped paper I bought into cartons, and there were more than 1,000 in total. />

It took a little more time to spread a layer of dried rice grass leaves on the bottom of each box, which made it look much better. />

The rest of the corners were not wasted, and they were all folded into a thousand paper cranes. />

Everything is ready to go on sale tomorrow. />

The next day, it happened to be Monday, and they had just received their pocket money, which was the time when there was a lot of money. />

In the corner of the cash register, in an unharmed place, there is a glass bottle, which is inserted with more than a dozen roses of red, white or pink, which is very eye-catching. />

Early in the morning, business is booming in the fruit supermarket, and most of them come to buy apples. />

Xi and Chen's mother borrowed Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen's mother-in-law for a day, anyway, now they don't have to be afraid of anyone to escape the order, Chen's mother and Chen's father can take care of them at the cashier. It's just that Chen's father is still busy replenishing the stock from time to time. />

At the door in front of the cash register, there was a table, and two stacks of cardboard boxes were piled on the table, and the sister and brother were on one side. />

On the other side, there are two buckets on the ground, and in the buckets are red and pink roses, which are half-open, exuding fragrance, which is very beautiful. />

I saw that on the branches of the roses, there were pink, yellow or red ribbons, and one end of the ribbon was tied with a large or large paper crane, which was very cute. Old Man Chen and Granny Chen had a bucket of roses next to them. />

Looking at this battle, many people didn't know what it was for, and stood aside curiously to watch. />

Finally, someone stepped forward to ask, and after explaining it clearly, many people who had just bought apples carried bags and asked the sisters and brothers to help pack them. For a while, the table of the siblings was full of people. />

In this way, the old couple is very cold in front of them. Finally, a girl mustered up the courage to ask for the price with a red face, and then bought one. />

There are one and there are two, and since someone has started, those who are embarrassed and shrank behind are also brave enough to buy one or two. />

It sold out in a few moments. />

The sister and brother were busy for more than 20 minutes, and when they saw that class was about to start, they handed over their seats to Mr. Chen, and went back to the house to prepare two buckets of roses. />

came out and told Old Man Chen that when they were gone and there were fewer people, they would go to the house and take out the things. The siblings hurried to school. />

Because he knew that he was busy today, he asked Zhao Juan to go out to eat by herself, and didn't go with them. />

After returning to school, Xi went to the second class, gave apples to Zhao Juan, and gave apples to his tablemates, and said "Happy Christmas Eve". />

Cheng Mo, who was not far behind him, saw it and felt a sense of loss. But I don't know why, I don't think about it anymore, I don't bother anymore, I throw it aside, and bury my head in making physics rolls. />

In the afternoon, it was even busier. />

As a result of the day's publicity, most of the people in the school knew about their gift boxes and packaging, and at dinner time, their desks were packed. />

Originally, the sisters and brothers still let Zhao Juan go to eat by herself, but she said that she would not do anything, and wanted to help them, so they had to take her to pack apples. />

The speed of the three of them working together is a lot faster, but it can't keep up with the speed of the queue behind. A few people had to work harder. />

"Eh, classmate. ”/>

A voice came from overhead, and Stream, who was working hard, looked up at her without stopping, "What's wrong>?"

"Do you still have this kind of paper crane here?" she held a rose in her left hand and picked up the paper crane on the ribbon in her right hand, looking at the stream curiously. />

After packing the boxes in his hand and putting them in bags, Xi raised his head, "Yes, what are you doing>?"

"Can you sell it to me?" asked the girl, with a hint of surprise on her face, as she grabbed Brook's arm. />

Xi Li broke free, and the girl sent it with interest. />

"How much do you want?"/>

The girl pointed to the cardboard box on the table and said, "Just pack me a box." ”/>

Xi nodded, went back to the house, and came out with a plastic bag, and asked the girl to choose a cardboard box, which filled a large box of paper cranes, about a hundred. />

Although the thousand paper cranes didn't cost much, she also spent a lot of effort to fold them, and she charged five yuan for a box. />

The girl didn't say much, gave the money, carried the bag, and left happily with a thousand paper cranes. />

Although they have prepared more than 1,000 cardboard boxes, they can't hold up many people. />

Xi saw that there were no more cardboard boxes left at his feet, so he shouted to the people who were still waiting in line behind him: "You don't have to queue up, we don't have a few cardboard boxes here, and when you get there, it will be a blank row." ”/>

In a burst of wailing, the men behind them left disappointed. />

After finishing the last few cardboard boxes in his hand, he put away the folding table, picked up the cardboard boxes on the ground, and the three of them entered the house. />

A carton full of money was a five-dollar and ten-dollar bill. Divide into three piles, one person in one pile. />

After counting the money, I thought that Zhao Juan was working very hard just now, if it wasn't for her help, they would still be busy at this time. Xi took out a part and handed it to Zhao Juan, "Juan, this should be the salary you just worked on, take it." ”/>

"Huh?" Zhao Juan was stunned at first, then took the money in a daze, and when she understood, she was ecstatic in her heart. She was very envious when she looked at the carton just now, but she didn't expect her to have a share. />

I couldn't suppress the joy in my heart, my eyes were shining, the corners of my mouth were almost to the root of my ears, and I counted the banknotes in my hand carefully one by one. />

"Xi, you say, why do you come up with all the tricks to make money?" Zhao Juan looked at the banknotes in her hand, and then at the banknotes in the hands of the sisters and brothers, and said enviously. />

"Hey...... Next time, if there is any, I will call you, and the three of us will work together. ”/>

If it's cold today, sometimes it's a weekend, and Zhao Juan is too lazy to go back and eat and sleep at Xi's house. It was such a coincidence that she went back on a holiday last weekend. />

Before the Xi sisters and brothers came to the store on Saturday morning, they thought about going to the stationery store, and they only remembered this when they saw those apples, and only then did they have their origami box because of Chen's mother's disagreement. />

"Okay. ”/>

It was too late to eat dinner, so one person hugged and nibbled on an apple, and went to the store to buy some snacks. />

Back in the classroom, after putting things, Xi called Chen Yubin, carried a plastic bag, and went up to the fourth floor. />

After entering the office of the first year of junior high school, Xi took two apples from the plastic bag and handed the plastic bag to Chen Yubin. There's no way, whoever asked her to know the desks of Teacher Li and the math teacher. />

At this time, the teachers are still eating, and there is no one in the office. Xi put the apple in his hand on the teacher's desk, and waited for Chen Yubin to put the others away before the two went out. />

None of these apples were packed in cardboard boxes, because there were ten teachers in total, and that was ten cardboard boxes, and it was too troublesome to carry. />

However, each apple is tied to a ribbon on the stem, and a thousand paper cranes are hung from one end of the ribbon. In the thousands of paper cranes, Xi wrote the words 'Teacher, happy Christmas Eve!' in block letters. />
