Deng Gongzi's words surprised several salesmen, and they couldn't help but take a serious look, and at this time, the four of them found that Deng Gongzi and Ye Yingxuan's temperament was extraordinary. This pair of young men and women is definitely not a young man who has nothing to do in the township, it seems that they came down from the county!

The four of them looked at each other speechlessly, one may appear in their hearts, they have long heard that there is a change of people above. The new manager and deputy manager seem to be a pair of young men and women, and the young man in front of him is full of officialdom, could it be the legendary deputy manager Deng?

The salesman of the measuring ruler turned pale, and Deng Hua took the ruler on the counter, not the kind of one-meter standard ruler, but a short one-foot! Deng Hua measured the flannel cloth he had just measured from the beginning, very seriously, neither pulling hard nor relaxing, neither shrinking nor raising the ruler!

"Sister-in-law, how many feet do you want to buy?"

Deng Huahe asked the peasant woman kindly, and the woman was a little cringe, she didn't know what the strange little boy in front of her was doing. For women in the mountains, they still can't let go of outsiders, and they don't know what kind of official the other party is.

On the contrary, the daughter replied loudly: "Mom wants to make a new set of clothes for my brother, and he wants to go to the county to take the high school entrance examination! A total of 16 feet of fabric, and Mom said that 15 feet will not be used, but I must let my brother be more lenient, so that my brother's exam will be very easy!"

The girl's eyes contained tears, and she didn't know whether it was for the fabric she was searching for in front of her, or for her younger brother who could take the entrance examination! According to the girl's age, it should also be the age of study, but in the countryside of Gucheng County, it is rare for girls to go to high school!

Ye Yingxuan coughed lightly: "How many feet are missing?"

Deng Hua was stunned, did Manager Ye make a mistake? Or did she lack the most basic common sense? Although Deng Gongzi didn't know how to cut, he also knew that the fabric could not be connected, which was the most basic common sense.

What's more, from the girl's speech, I have already felt that the people in the mountains are very sensitive, if this kind of spliced fabric is taken back, not to mention whether it can be made into clothes, at least it will make my mother very entangled!

Sure enough, the peasant woman's expression froze, and she whispered a little weakly: "Forget it, it's not much missing, that's it!"

The salesman reacted quickly, immediately took out the scissors, and was about to tear off the fabric to put down the scissors, Deng Hua said coldly: "Are you sure you want to cut it?"

"I, I, I......" The salesman held the scissors in his hand, looked at Deng Hua stupidly, looked at the peasant woman, and then looked at Ye Yingxuan. She could see that Manager Ye was the one who was in charge, and Deputy Manager Deng was the deputy after all.

"Ahem!" Ye Yingxuan coughed twice in the back, and said impatiently, "Deputy Manager Deng, it is normal to make up for the lack of catties and shortages, do you have to make up for the lack of one? Hurry up, we have to go to the next stop, we can't delay time here." ”

A woman with no common sense of life actually served as the manager of the supply and marketing association, Deng Gongzi was speechless: "Manager Ye, it's not that you have to make up for one shortage, the fabric is not the same as the food, and the shortage of fabric is difficult to make ready-to-wear." My sister-in-law bought 16 feet of fabric, but she only gave 14 feet, a difference of two feet of fabric, how could she make a whole set of clothes?

"Huh?" Ye Yingxuan's face turned red, the woman finally understood what she was wrong, she glared at Deng Gongzi who made a fool of herself, turned around and walked outside, "I'll go to the car to rest!"

Deng Hua shook his head, and said to the salesman of the measuring tape: "This piece of fabric has been sold to you, and the order is placed according to sixteen feet!

"No, no!" As early as when Ye Yingxuan and Deng Hua called each other, several salesmen knew that they had hit a moldy head today. The one who sells fabrics has cursed Deng Gongzi countless times in his heart, but he can't afford to provoke him, so he can only obey, "I'll go down again!"

As he spoke, the salesman hurriedly spread out the fabric, using the counter as a ruler, and adding one foot to the five counters. In fact, normal supply and marketing cooperatives sell fabrics with the counter as a ruler, and today I saw that the two mothers and daughters were bullied, so I wanted to take advantage of them.

Unexpectedly, when he touched Deng Gongzi, the salesperson could only admit that he was unlucky, carefully measure the ruler, and definitely do it without a bad score. It's not that hard to be a veteran salesperson, and then fold it carefully, draw pink threads, and cut the fabric with scissors.

The mother and daughter looked at the two feet of fabric in surprise, they had never come to the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell fabrics, and today they met a good person! The mother bowed to Deng Hua vigorously: "Thank you, thank you, comrade!"

Deng Hua took out a wallet from his pocket and took out a wad of money from it, which was seven or eight hundred yuan: "Sister-in-law, this is to congratulate your little brother in advance, I believe that with a mother like you, my little brother will definitely be able to be admitted to Gucheng No. 1 Middle School, and he will definitely be admitted to a good university in the future!"

"How can this be?"

The woman's hands were shaken, and such a huge sum of money could only be seen by her when she was selling grain. This time, I used the money to sell fabrics to my son to make clothes, and I don't know how long I saved before I got enough.

The old hens in the family are almost the only source of pocket money, and the salt has to be exchanged for eggs from the market. As for soy sauce, rice vinegar, MSG, and seasonings, they are almost not used at home and cannot afford them.

The daughter stared at the pile of money, her eyes were a little wet, and with the desire in the girl's eyes, Deng Gongzi already understood a lot. Just like those poor families he had seen in the past, presumably the girl dropped out of school just for the sake of her younger brother at home!

With the clothes of the mother and daughter, it is hard to imagine that such a family can afford two middle school students and still study in high school in the county. The high cost is definitely not something that an ordinary mountain family can afford.

Thinking about this section, Deng Hua sighed lightly: "Sister-in-law, take it, if the family can insist, let the little sister also go to study." ”

Deng Hua's words made her daughter cry, as if all the grievances of her life were released at this moment. The girl's tears are like soaking Deng Gongzi's heart in old vinegar, sour and astringent!

The girl's mother, the simple woman, wiped her tears vigorously and muttered after a while: "Good man, you are a good man! My sister is better at studying than her younger brother, and it is too difficult for us in our family to support the two of them." There was no way, so my sister came back from No. 1 Middle School and saved money to let her brother continue to study......"

No wonder the girl reacted like that, Ye Yingxuan suddenly walked in from outside: "Little sister, you dropped out of middle school?"

Although he has only been in Gucheng County for a few days, Manager Ye has heard of the name of Gucheng No. 1 Middle School. The students of Gucheng No. 1 Middle School have a high admission rate and have no rivals in Qingyuan City. Although the people in the ancient city are poor, children who can be admitted to a middle school rarely drop out of school, and many families would rather eat bran vegetables for their children to study!
