When I arrived at the wholesale market, my grandfather and Hongyun looked around, there were vegetables and fruits, hawthorn persimmons, hawthorn and persimmons were only six cents a pound, Hongyun felt distressed, and my grandfather's face hurt and covered his face. turned around and thanked Wu Xiaofan: "My girl's family lives in Hongjia Village in Qiaoxi, you have time to go to my house for dinner, and the uncle will kill chickens for you to eat." ”

"Thank you in advance, uncle, I will definitely go when I have time. Wu Xiaofan said.

My grandfather bought another hundred catties of persimmons and a hundred catties of hawthorn. Wu Xiaofan didn't ask what to do, so he asked the seller to borrow a piece of black cloth of unknown material to cover the goods, and then covered the car, saying: "People nowadays love to be red-eyed, don't let people see it." It's fine in two days. ”

My grandfather expressed his gratitude again, and also expressed his gratitude to the owner of the hawthorn seller, saying that he would return it tomorrow. After that, several people said goodbye.

The grandfather and grandson went home from the back of the village, Li Xiulan was feeding the pigs, and when she saw the car covered by the black cloth, she was stunned, and shouted in a loud voice: "I'm big, what are you doing here?"

Hung operates a "shhhh Although Li Xiulan was reluctant and muttered, she still shut up, closed the door of the pigsty, and didn't care about the pig's bark. Just help push the car into the house.

Hongyun took the spoon and helped feed the pigs.

"Be quiet," the grandfather knew that the girl was a loud voice: "This car is full of hawthorn and persimmons, cheap, so I bought more." ”

"My big ......" Li Xiulan was speechless, this is also called a little more, a lot more.

"Don't talk nonsense, move it to the cellar quickly. Grandpa said and began to move.

"I'm big, you've been running for a day, take a break, drink saliva, I'll move." Li Xiulan hurriedly stopped, it was so heavy, how could she let her father move.

My grandfather was obedient and went into the house to pour water to drink.

When Hongyun fed the pigs into the yard, he saw his grandfather sitting on a small bamboo chair and holding a tea bowl, basking in the sunset freely. Li Xiulan has already moved the car and is moving the last box.

"Mom, you're so good. Hongyun praised, after Hongyun also went to school in the county, his mother did business for a period of time in order to subsidize the family's livelihood, a person came and went in the rain, regardless of the cold and heat, always left before dawn, and went home when there was no one on the street, but it was only enough for a family to live. At that time, Hongyun was not sensible, but now that I think back, I understand my mother's dedication and hard work.

"Mom-" Fortune pounced.

"Xiaoya, your mother is tired, knock me down and beat you to death. Li Xiulan said.

"Wow-" Hongyun hugged Li Xiulan and cried, Li Xiulan was very inexplicable, looked at her grandfather, and asked, "I'm big, did anyone bully her?" Grandpa shook his head.

"Are you tired?" Li Xiulan's brain opened, and she hugged Hongyun and coaxed: "Let's stop working." ”

Hongyun cried for a while and raised his head embarrassed, so he buried himself in his mother's arms, and fell asleep unconsciously in the rhythmic shaking of his mother Li Xiulan.

After Hongyun fell asleep, Li Xiulan put Hongyun in the house and fell asleep.

At this time, Hong Mianfa also came back with Hongfang.

"I'm big, how are things selling?" asked Hongmian.

"It's okay, I sold a piece of five pounds. Grandpa said.

"It's so expensive, it's about the same price as pork, are there so many people who buy it?" asked Li Xiulan.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be sold out, hawthorn and persimmon prices have risen, and then I heard people say that there is a wholesale market, and the price is more than half cheaper. Grandpa was very emotional.

"Recently, the efficacy of hawthorn and persimmon has been promoted, saying that it can lower blood pressure and blood lipids, which is good for asthma and slow branching, in short, it is good for people. Maybe it's because of this that the price has increased. "Hong Mianfa works in the county agency and knows a little bit about this.

"I said that you told her what Hongyun said today, right?" asked his son-in-law.

"What did I tell him?"

"It's the effect of hawthorn and persimmon you just said. Seeing the son-in-law shaking his head, the grandfather thought: "Maybe I heard from others, the little guy has a good memory." Today, it is because she heard about the wholesale market that we can buy such cheap things. ”

"I think the hawthorn strips are very easy to sell, and the taste is good, what if the price rises again? Let's buy some more." Li Xiulan said. The air fell silent in an instant.

Grandpa and Hong Mianfa are thinking about feasibility.

"Persimmons and hawthorns have been bought for more than 100 catties, and they can't be used up in a short time. I don't know if the taste of persimmon will get better in a few days, and I won't talk about hawthorn and wait for a few sales. Grandpa said, and Hong Mianfa agreed.

"Xiaoli is also a little tired, tomorrow Xiulan and I will make hawthorn and peel persimmons, so small, let her go out to play." "My grandfather felt that he was too careless to pay attention, and this amount of labor was nothing to himself, but too much for children.

"Okay. Li Xiulan answered.

Early the next morning, my grandfather went to return the cloth one by one, and when the fortune got up, my grandfather had already returned. Knowing that he didn't have to work anymore, and that he felt that he was getting smaller so easily, that he should play more, he went out excitedly. Grandpa saw Hongyun's excited little appearance, and felt that he should let her go out in the future, it was too hard to accompany him as an old man in the past few months.

"No flowers, no tree height, I'm a little grass that no one knows......" Hongyun hummed the song, I haven't come out with my friends for a long time, I have to bring homemade hawthorn strips to coax them, I want to go home to get it, only to remember that it is sold out, don't fight unprepared battles, go again next time.

Go to the riverside, which basically carries most of the fun of Fortune's childhood.

The reeds have turned yellow, the mighty reed flowers, soft and bleak, full of autumn flavor, the water level of the creek has dropped again, and you can find duck eggs and bird eggs in the reeds.

Hongyun patrolled along the bank of the river, young is good, without the poison of the mobile phone of later generations, the eyes are leveraged, and he can almost penetrate the water.

I found that there was a suspicious spot in the water, so I slowly approached, and sure enough, it was a duck egg, but it was a bad egg for an unknown amount of time.

Hongyun, who had been spinning for a long time and finding nothing, felt a little bored and went home to see how his mother and grandfather were doing.

As a result, I saw my mother Li Xiulan taking the soles of her shoes there, and my grandfather was peeling persimmons alone, and a few persimmons were peeled to strange shapes on the edge of the persimmon frame.

When I asked, I found out that Li Xiulan couldn't peel such a thin skin. Hongyun didn't say a word, picked up the knife and sharpened the persimmon, Hongyun cut faster than his grandfather's, it turned out to be a scalpel, and his hands were more dexterous than ordinary people.

Seeing that it was too much, my grandfather asked Li Xiulan to take it over and put it on the sun. In the morning, two people cut most of the frame, almost forty pounds, to the back more and more smooth, faster and faster, less than two days of persimmons all cut to finish, full of a yard, very sense of achievement.

The following time is to make hawthorn strips, Hongyun said that you can make hawthorn cakes, hawthorn rolls, with hawthorn strips to sell together should be better sold, the practice is almost the same, on the difference in time and moisture.

Hongyun guided on the side, Li Xiulan did it, and soon the cake rolls were all done with fifteen catties each.

Two days later, everyone except Hong Mianfa and Hong Fang had to go to work and school. It was all sold out at noon, selling a piece of eighty-one catties, and the retail price of hawthorn rose to three cents a catty.

The family went to the wholesale market again, and at this time the hawthorn wholesale was already a dime a catty, and asked how long the hawthorn could be stored? The owner who sold the hawthorn said that it could be stored for about five or six months if it knew how to store it, but under normal circumstances, the cellar was about two months, and they couldn't tell, they were all buying and selling at any time, and they didn't have long in their hands.

After thinking about it for a long time, my grandfather made a decision and bought 300 catties for storage. I asked how much persimmons cost a catty, and the price actually increased, eight cents a catty. But the car was already full, and my grandfather was going to buy it again in the next episode, so he had no choice but to let Li Xiulan take Hong Zongchao home.

Hongzongchao was full of reluctance, and finally promised him that he could go home and eat more persimmons and hawthorn cakes, so he reluctantly agreed. Later, no matter how much I coaxed me, I didn't want to sell things anymore.
