Chapter 38: Selling Pigs

"Look at what that's for! Boys and girls are the same, I like them anyway!"

What a beautiful thing to say!

But what did Grandma Jiang really think in her heart?

She has always been curious about the gender of the child, and she has been guessing blindly since Zhang Yan became pregnant, and now she can't sit still when she hears that the B ultrasound is accurate.

Is it a man or a woman? She thinks about Zhang Yan's belly, and it feels like a female baby, but then she thinks about the Qing Palace table, according to the table, it is a male baby, oops!

She was thinking about it, Jiang Tao had already sold all the pigs in the family, and the sows that she had originally bought back to raise piglets were also sold, and the family was getting busier and busier, and there were children to take care of in the future, how could she have time to feed the pigs!

The pig collector drove over, with the pound in the car, he was afraid that Jiang Tao would feed the pig in advance and press the scale, deliberately grinding and chirping, thinking that he would wait for the pig to pull and then pass the pound, now a pound of pork has risen by several dollars, it is too expensive, these eleven pigs don't know how to feed, all fat heads and big ears, they can eat it at a glance, if the owner feeds it again, he will treat the dung in the pig's intestines as pork to count the money, it is not a big loss!

As a result, after waiting for a long time, it didn't pull, and the pig was hungry!

The person who collected the pig knew how much he cared, and subconsciously went to see Jiang Tao, hoping that he didn't find his own thoughts.

Jiang Tao didn't speak, continued to sit on the chair and drink tea with a teacup, pulling the corners of his mouth and sneering at him.

Oh no, the clever has been discovered!

How embarrassing is this! He panicked in his heart, and he didn't shake around anymore, he strode over to apologize and say good things, and saw that Jiang Tao was still lukewarm like just now, and then he understood, the emotional family knew his plan from the beginning, no wonder he poured a glass of water and moved a chair to drink slowly!

After watching the monkey show for a long time in vain, he was embarrassed to ramble any longer, and the people who were brought by the sneering envoy weighed the pigs one by one.

Calculate the price, pay the money to Jiang Tao, and immediately greet the gray person who left.

Jiang Tao put the money in his pocket, locked the door, and sent Grandma Jiang back to school on a bicycle, saving the money by the way.

Grandma Jiang pondered for more than two hours, and became more and more unaware of whether Zhang Yan's belly was a male or female baby, and asked Jiang Tao with some uncertainty: "Everyone in the village went to take a B ultrasound, even Meizi, otherwise we will also take a photo?"

Jiang Tao didn't hear it coldly, the handlebars were almost crooked, he hurriedly held it tightly, although he turned his back to Grandma Jiang, knowing that she couldn't see his expression, he still said with a stern face: "Forget it! Don't mention this matter in the future, it's not easy to keep it, whether it's a male baby or a female baby, can our family still be a good baby?"

"I didn't mean that!" Grandma Jiang sat in the back seat, grabbing Jiang Tao's clothes with one hand and scratching her ears and cheeks with the other, she didn't know how to explain to herself, she hummed a few times, and finally whispered: "Don't tell Yan, it would be bad if she thought too much, I didn't mean that, there are still three months to go, I am very panicked!"

Jiang Tao was also panicked, but he didn't show it to them, he talked to Grandma Jiang, and soon arrived at the school gate.

The door of the store was open, Zhang Yan was holding her stomach to clean up her things, Zhang Yan didn't go back when Grandma Jiang went home, mainly because she was very tired from being pregnant, she didn't want to toss back and forth, plus today Sunday, take advantage of the time to make a few more jars of kimchi, the store wants to use it, and you have to send one jar to Tian Qi and He Bin's family.

"Why don't you listen to persuasion! Start working again!" Jiang Tao quickly parked the car, helped Grandma Jiang get out of the car, and didn't wait for her, ran directly into the store to help Zhang Yan sit down, and said to her: "What kind of work is waiting for me to do, don't be reckless with your big belly, rest well!"

"Got it!" Zhang Yan handed the rag in his hand to Jiang Tao, leaned on the chair with his waist, "I didn't do heavy work, the vegetable seller sent ten cabbages just now, I have nothing to do, I want to wipe the case clean, and I can pickle it directly when you come over." ”

After opening the store, the work of pickling kimchi fell to Jiang Tao, he came every other day, after the workers finished work in the evening, the family stayed in the store to make kimchi, pickled for two days at a time, the back wall of the store pΓΉ made a compartment, specially put the kimchi jar, the key was in Zhang Yan's hand, except for their family of three, other people could not enter, no matter what, people could not learn the kimchi recipe, and the mother water could not be touched.

Jiang Tao turned on the lights in the store, closed the door, and began to make kimchi.

Grandma Jiang stood next to her, looking at the pile of cabbage in the store and feeling distressed, and muttered: "It's not winter now, cabbage is very expensive, every time you buy a lot, it costs a lot of money, or we don't send it in the future, let's sell kimchi, right?" Anyway, the people who come to eat in the store also say that the delivery is not enjoyable, and they still wish we could sell kimchi, and they can eat more in the future!"

Zhang Yan shook her head and said with a smile: "Grandma, no, our kimchi is not sold out, in fact, it is more expensive in the past few months, and it will be cheap in winter, you can rest assured, you can't lose!"

Of course, Grandma Jiang knows that she can't lose, but the more she buys cauliflower, the less she earns, and now that the price of pork has risen, the cost is much more expensive than before, which is really sad!

She squatted down, picked up the cabbage leaves that Jiang Tao had peeled off and couldn't pickle the pickles, put them in the vegetable basket, and planned to stir-fry them at noon.

Jiang Tao and Zhang Yan didn't stop it, these leaves were not spoiled except for the lack of moisture and a little wilted, and they were wasted, and those who were used to living a hard life were most afraid of waste.

However, when cooking at noon, Jiang Tao made a plate of braised pork, fried a large plate of cabbage leaves sorted out by Grandma Jiang, and fried a plate of fresh ones for her despite Zhang Yan's objections, and the three of them sat in the store, eating and chatting.

Jiang Tao discussed with Grandma Jiang and Zhang Yan: "Leave the affairs of the store to Aunt Ge, you two arrange this here, pack up your things, I will take you home, and Yan can wait for delivery with peace of mind." ”

Grandma Jiang said first: "I'm sure I'm fine, whatever you want, Yan is in charge." ”

Zhang Yan has no problem, even if she can persist now, if she gives birth to a child in the future, she can't keep guarding the store all the time, it is better to hand over the matter as soon as possible, while there are still three months left, if there is a problem, it will be easy to solve, and she can be confined and take the child with peace of mind in the future.

After eating and washing, the three of them closed the door of the store and returned to their accommodation.

Huang Liang and Ge Xianqin were both at home, and Huang Teng was also there, lying on his parents' bed taking a nap, when he heard the movement and was woken up, he lay on the bed and rubbed his eyes.

Huang Liang glared at him and urged him: "Take a nap and sleep for an hour, don't you hurry up and go to self-study!"

It's only been an hour, what's the hurry!

Huang Teng got up sullenly, said hello to Jiang Tao and the others, went to the yard to wash his face, and went out angrily with a book in his arms.

In order to grasp the admission rate, the school has a ten-day vacation in the summer, and the three grades have already started classes, and the freshmen in the first year of junior high school have not officially signed up and followed the classes for half a month, and the students are also tired of this teaching method.

Huang Teng was very angry in his heart, he stomped and stomped on his feet, and finally looked forward to Sunday, and actually lived like this!

Huang Liang couldn't see his virtue, so he stood up angrily, and wanted to talk about him again, Jiang Tao stretched out his arm to stop him, called Huang Teng and said to him: "I'm going to Nanjing on National Day, you read carefully, if you do well in the new semester exam, I'll take you with me, how about having fun there?"

Nanjing!

Huang Teng's eyes lit up, and he asked in disbelief, "Really take me there?"

Huang Liang couldn't help it this time, and scolded him: "You know how to play! Hurry up and go to the classroom to read, your brother has so many things to do, and he doesn't have enough time to do things, so he can't go anywhere if he has time to take you to play!"

Huang Teng was used to him, so he didn't say anything, biting his lip to look at Jiang Tao.

Huang Liang also turned his head to look at him and said: "Jiang Tao, the child is very annoying, I will get it with your aunt, when the time comes, you can do your business, don't think about him, don't talk about spending that money, and delay your efforts." ”

Jiang Tao gave Huang Teng a look, and turned his head to persuade Huang Liang: "Huang Teng is in the second year of junior high school, and he has to prepare for the high school entrance examination in the future, and he has no time to go out to play, so he can go now, and then take my brother out to play, and it won't take a few dollars to do things by the way, as long as you can rest assured that I can do it, after all, Huang Teng is sensible, and he won't trouble me when the time comes, he will go out to relax and relax, and he can come back to meet the high school entrance examination in a down-to-earth manner!"

Huang Liang didn't say yes, Ge Xianqin was a little hesitant, since the family moved from the village to the town, it relied on Huang Liang's salary alone, only Huang Liang was good in his hometown, and his relatives came to him for anything, they have been living tightly, not to mention that Nanjing is far away, it is close, I am afraid that there is no spare money for Huang Teng to play, if you don't go this time, you may not be able to go in the future.

Zhang Yan saw that Huang Teng was pitiful, and took the opportunity to persuade Ge Xianqin and his wife: "My brother went to Nanjing on eleventh, and it happened that Huang Teng was going on vacation again, if he didn't let him go, he might not have this opportunity in the future, I have been bothering my grandmother for so long, you can't see us!"

Ge Xianqin was moved and asked Huang Liang: "Why don't you let him go?"

Huang Liang glared at Huang Teng, and said fiercely: "You are only allowed to go if you do well in the exam, and you can't intercede if you fail the exam, and you don't want to read the book!"

Huang Teng cheered and replied: "Got it! I promise to do well in the exam! Thank you, brother, thank you, sister!"

After that, he ran to the classroom with a smoke, and then didn't slow down, opened the workbook and started to do the questions, today there are a few students in the classroom who live on campus to study on their own, but this will not come over the nap, and Cheng Yue is reading a book in the classroom.

He was also a little puzzled when he saw Huang Teng, and asked: "Why did you come so early today, you didn't have to sleep for a long time before, and you didn't come until everyone came." ”

Huang Teng was still in a state of excitement, and replied excitedly: "Just now my brother went to my house and said that if I do well in the exam, he will take me to Nanjing to play, haha, in order to take Nanjing, I have to study hard in the future, and I can't be sloppy anymore!"

"Your brother?" Cheng Yue asked cautiously, could it be Jiang Tao?

Huang Teng only remembered at this time, he really had to be serious, Jiang Tao's brother Zhang Yan and Cheng Yue were serious relatives, he shouldn't have talked nonsense in front of Cheng Yue, Huang Teng laughed dryly, he didn't know what to say, so he just pretended to bow his head and read the book.

Cheng Yue was stunned, staring at the textbook for a long time without looking into it, not knowing what he was thinking.

At Huang Liang's house, Zhang Yan was discussing with Ge Xianqin: "Auntie, I plan to recruit another person, when I go home with my grandmother, you and Liu Xiaoying plus the new arrival, the three of you should be able to be busy, and if you come to be the store manager in the future, you will have to worry more about the affairs of the store, will this be successful?"

This has been said before, Ge Xianqin is also happy for her trust, and promised: "No problem, I will definitely do a good job!"
