Chapter Eighty-Nine: Pocket Money

About seven or eight miles away from Gongdao Village, it belongs to the territory of another brigade, there is an iron mine family area, and there is a zinc mine, paper mill, and cement factory nearby, so the commune set up the site of the middle school there, although the mining area has its own welfare cooperative, but recently opened another consignment store in that area, I heard that the variety of goods is quite complete, and it is almost comparable to the commune supply and marketing cooperative, which is convenient for both the workers in the mining area and the nearby farmers.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Uncle Jiang sent the tofu and vegetables to the canteen in the mining area, put a rack on the back seat of the 28-bar permanent brand bicycle, tied the wooden mold box containing the tofu, and then put a wooden shelf, tied the vegetable basket, and then rode away cautiously.

When Grandpa came home from outside for lunch, Aunt Jiang also came over, handed a cardboard box containing shoes and socks to Grandma, and a small roll of money tickets, and reported with a smile: "Your vegetables are really well grown, the water is fresh and tender, and the people in the canteen all praise and give a high price, one cent and six cents per catty, a total of 52 catties, and get 8 yuan 3 cents and 5 cents, buy Xiaoman's shoes for 3 yuan and 5 cents, a pair of socks 6 cents and 5 cents, and there are 4 pieces and 2 cents left, all here." ”

Grandma thanked Aunt Jiang again and again, and asked Xiao Man to try on new shoes, Uncle Jiang is a man, just buy things to see if there is any damage, the color is not in his consideration, and he took a pair of dark gray elastic shoes and a pair of red nylon socks for Xiao Man!

The shoes are good, dark and dirt-resistant, and they are comfortable to wear, looking at the pair of red socks, Xiao Man has a few black lines hanging on his forehead.

Grandpa only then knew that he was not at home for a long time, and Grandma and Xiaoman actually sold the two boxes of vegetables, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: "I thought that I would go to the mine to buy shoes when I was free in the afternoon, old woman, the money at home is not in the ...... Why did you sell the vegetables?"

Grandma said with a smile: "Xiao Man watered the vegetable garden every day, this vegetable grows fast and well, you can't win by eating, you can sell it for a few dollars, and by the way, buy a pair of shoes and socks for Xiao Man, I think it's good." ”

"How can you not win? There are two little piglets at home, and you don't see how happy they are and appetizing!" said Ah Gong.

Aunt Jiang asked Grandma: "Auntie, then I will come tomorrow to help pick up the greens, and take another 50 catties to sell?"

Before Grandma could answer, Grandpa said, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, what will my little pig eat after selling the vegetables?"

Aunt Jiang sighed: "Uncle, how many vegetables can two little pigs eat? Besides, no one has to eat such a good green vegetable, and you give it to the pigs, it's a waste to know? Pigs should eat pig vegetables, don't you have sweet potato vines in your own land? Grab a handful and come back and chop them, it's enough for them to eat for two days!"

Ah Gong was rarely stubborn: "My little piglet has just been bought home, I have to give it something good, these days with rice bran, bud flour boiled, mixed with some tender vegetables, they eat very happy." When I grow up, I'll feed the sweet potato vines!"

Aunt Jiang laughed: "Uncle, are you raising pigs or raising babies? You have to be so careful! Okay, you have to eat tender vegetable seedlings, right? I'll pinch them for you, and the sweet potato seedlings in my house are also tender! You just give me this stubble of green vegetables, help you sell it, and plant a stubble immediately!"

Ah Gong was a little unhappy: "Jianqiao daughter-in-law, your vegetable plot is so wide, don't you also grow a lot of vegetables?"

"Uncle, my family's vegetables are only two or three inches high, but they can't be allocated! Your vegetables have grown enough, and the seeds are too dense, so if you don't allocate them to sell, you will soon pull out the joints and grow flowers, and it will be a pity that they will all wilt and grow old! Now these three or four boxes, I will help you sell slowly, and you can sell fifty or sixty catties of tofu a day, and you can get 8 or 9 yuan by sitting at home, isn't this good?"

Grandma said: "Of course it's okay, it's just that the two of you work hard, and your uncle can't help it!"

Aunt Jiang smiled: "What's the hard work? Besides, we also have benefits: your family's vegetables can be sold for four or five days, and at that time, my sister's vegetables in the south of the village will also come out, and they will be sold to my sister's family, and when my sister's family is sold out, it will be my family's turn! My family's vegetable plot is large, and there are all kinds of vegetables, and one crop of vegetables can last for a month, and the next crop will continue to rise! Anyway, my brother-in-law is in charge of the workers' canteen, so I will keep this way, and I just need to supply it one by one!"

Grandmother:......

Xiao Man couldn't help but slander: Aunt Jiang, you are shrewd, you co-author is going to use our family's dishes to link you to market.

Aunt Jiang was frank enough, and volunteered to provide tender sweet potato seedlings for the little pig to eat, and Grandma agreed to sell the first vegetable arranged by her husband and wife for the sake of the favor between the neighbors.

Grandma's decision Ah Gong will not refute it, but he clearly said: The next crop of vegetables can't be sold! If you can't win by eating, you can keep it, and make sauerkraut and dried vegetables.

Xiao Man actually regretted it a little: such a good and excellent green vegetable, only sold for 8 yuan for 50 catties, it was too cheap, and I was really reluctant.

It's not that Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang concealed the quotation money, it's like this in this era, think about a pound of raw salt is only a dime and seven cents, Aunt Jiang's tofu is two cents and five cents a catty, and it can be sold for a dime and six cents of green vegetables, which is indeed the top.

Now she has to sell it if she doesn't sell it, this is all caused by her mouth, and she has to count three times before she can exit before she speaks in the future.

Aunt Jiang went home, and Grandma handed a roll of money to Xiao Man: "Our vegetables grow so well, it all depends on you digging well water to water the vegetable garden every day, and this money will be left to you, girls should have a little pocket money, collect it and use it slowly!"

Xiao Man took the money, kept two cents, and returned the four yuan to Grandma: "I don't buy anything, just ask for a small fraction, Grandma has a lot of money, and she has to pay me tuition." ”

Ah Gong smiled next to him and said, "How can we Xiaoman not have pocket money? ”

Grandma said: "Xiaoman is not young, she is in the fifth grade this year, and she will go to junior high school next year, she should have a fixed pocket money every month, let her take it herself, and it is convenient to buy something outside." ”

"Okay, okay, your grandma is right, you have to take your pocket money. I'll take a look, how much do you get a month? If you have more, I'm afraid that you won't be able to collect it yourself, and you will lose it and let people pick it up. ”

Grandma said: "Our Xiaoman is a careful child and will not drop money." ”

Xiao Man also nodded seriously: "I still want to pick up what others dropped!"

Grandpa and grandma laughed, and finally the two discussed, starting from this month, they would give Xiaoman two yuan of pocket money every month, and decide whether to save or spend.

According to what Mo Shuixia said, if she is given two cents, she can go to the street market, and the pocket money of two yuan should be regarded as the first share in this era and for the children of Gongdao Village!

Xiao Man knows that she is lucky to be able to live again and get a jewel unexpectedly, but what makes her most satisfied and happy is that she can live with her grandfather and grandma and be their beloved granddaughter! )
