In November, few persimmons and hawthorns were sold, but hawthorn wholesale rose to five cents a catty, and persimmons followed closely behind, rising to four cents a catty.

The whole family sat together to discuss, and the three adults, Hongyun watched from the sidelines, sitting in their grandfather's arms.

Li Xiulan said: "It's too expensive, and now I can't sell much every day." ”

My grandfather also said, "A lot of people are asking and leaving now, it's more expensive than pork." ”

"Why don't you sell it cheaper?" Li Xiulan said.

Grandpa objected: "No, you don't remember who compared prices with others last time, and finally smashed the stall." ”

Li Xiulan and Hongyun thought of the person who was smashed and covered in blood, and they both trembled unconsciously. At that time, it was not popular to call the police, and it was scary to fight fiercely.

Hong Mianfa said: "That's still a lot of poor people, our market is mainly farmers, the wages of the wage earners are only sixty or seventy yuan, or store three hundred catties, usually sell some, persimmons buy more, Xiaoli said that persimmon drying can be successful, persimmon baking is still delicious." The rest was kept for the New Year and sold, and everyone was willing to spend money during the New Year. ”

At the end of October, Hongyun took out 200 catties of persimmons he bought and used them to make persimmons. With the previous experience, the family is very confident in the authenticity of the information that Hongyun heard.

In the end, an agreement was reached. Buy a little more.

The persimmons have been dried for more than a month, only a little less heavy, very delicious, watery, super sweet, but the price is cheap, only two or three times the price of persimmons, everyone can accept it, and it is in short supply. Later, I wanted to buy it but I couldn't sell it.

The persimmons have been frosted one after another, the earliest batch has been sold out, and the second batch has only sold half, rising from seven or eight cents to three yuan a catty. However, fewer and fewer people are buying, and only a few regular customers are still buying.

On New Year's Day, Hong Mianfa and Hong Fang are on holiday, and the family is ready to have a rich New Year's Day to celebrate the year's harvest. From October, to now, less than three months to earn a total of more than 2,000 yuan, the money has been collected by my grandfather, a few days ago, my grandfather gave the money to Hong Mianfa, Hong Mianfa is very happy, his annual salary is only a few hundred yuan.

"I have a toast to you, thank you for your continued help." Hong Mianfa said gratefully.

"Son-in-law, your name is my eldest son, and when you say this, you will see the outside, and the family doesn't speak two words." Grandpa said.

"I want to buy a piece of land in the county and build a house, and I want you to live with us then." Hong Mianfa said sincerely. Because my grandfather was doing business, he never came home from the last time he came, and he wanted to go home a few times in the middle, but they kept him.

"Grandpa, are you leaving again? I don't want you to go. Hongzong Chaoran forward and hugged his grandfather, with his grandfather, Li Xiulan's temperament is much more stable, and she will not play tricks and lose her temper at every turn. The standard of living has also skyrocketed, and some people will care about their own well-being.

Hongyun and Hongfang also stepped forward to hug their grandfather. Several people gathered around my grandfather, who was very happy.

"I'm big, let's go to live in the county, no one cares about us. They don't care about our business, and we spend the New Year and the festival by ourselves. Li Xiulan said.

Grandpa sighed, he taught his daughter like this, I'm very sorry for this group of children, fortunately, the children are sensible and caring, and if you look at it yourself, it will be better, and you will rest assured in your lifetime. And this time was also very happy.

"Okay." Grandpa finally relented.

Hongyun counted the days, and went to buy medicine for his grandfather, one every ten days.

The business is still going on, the price is too high, it is not easy to sell, so I will do less, because of the reason of hoarding, I make a lot of money.

Hong Mianfa found an acquaintance to buy a piece of land in the east of the county seat, only 400 yuan, and found someone, and the house was built within a month, with three east houses and three west houses, a kitchen, a yard, and three gatehouses. The house was dried on a firewood fire, and I moved in in time to live in it. Even the total amount of land spent is less than 2,000 yuan, and the money just earned is almost gone. At that time, they all lived in public houses, and there were a small number of people who bought land and built houses by themselves, and there were not many small clerks like Hong Mianfa, and Hong Mianfa also had to buy, and their positions were still low, and they couldn't get a good house, even if they were divided, they were small houses, and they couldn't live in a family, but fortunately they made money in business, otherwise they didn't know the Year of the Monkey. Now the children don't have to get up so early and run so far to go to school.

The three children were very happy, originally let Hongyun and Hongfang have a room to take care of Hongyun, Hongyun was unwilling, she wanted her own room, grandpa waved his hand, Hongmian and Li Xiulan had to compromise. Grandpa is also very happy, the family lives together, and there is no outsider to point out, very good, very comfortable, I went back home before moving, and packed up all the things, chickens and things that I didn't use were given to Li Xiumin, and the pigs were sold to the slaughterhouse for more than 200, and Li Xiumin was given 100, thanks to him for his help in the past few months.

There are still ten days before the New Year, Hongfang is about to have a holiday, this year is almost ten years old, and he is also very diligent, my grandfather with three small ones, busy making hawthorns, and selling them at a good price in the New Year, Li Xiulan prepares New Year's goods, and Hongmian has to go to work.

This winter, it was cold, and my grandfather's old slow branch was done again, but it was much lighter and much later than before.

"It really works." Li Xiulan was very emotional.

"Of course, this is the essence of China for thousands of years." Fortune is arrogant again.

"Say you're fat, and you're panting." Li Xiulan teased Hongyun.

"How do you talk to a child?" Grandpa began to train Li Xiulan again.

"I'm big, you just protect her." Li Xiulan was a little dissatisfied, her father was too used to good luck.

took her grandfather to the hospital to see a doctor, and Li Xiulan complained that her father was too good to Hongyun.

"Our family can have money, it is all Hongyun's idea, and the cheap things we buy are also found by Hongyun, or I don't dare to hoard goods, and I can't make much money." Grandpa said, "Besides, Hongyun is so well-behaved, she has made a lot of effort every time she does something, but you are lazy, and you will lose everything to a four-year-old child, and I will be ashamed of you." ”

Li Xiulan failed to file a complaint and was scolded. When I got home, I had a gloomy face.

Hongyun didn't dare to come forward to find uncomfortable, in the kitchen with my sister to make hawthorn cake, sister has no talent, always dogmatic, inflexible, hawthorn cake is also to see the feeling, Hongyun let her go to the seeds, make hawthorn cake by herself.

At this time, my grandfather came in, looked at the finished product, it was even more crystal clear, like a work of art, and couldn't help but praise: "This time it was very good." ”

"Well, I filtered the fiber and skin, it looks good and delicious, and some people should buy it if it's more expensive." Hongyun said, thought about it, and said: "Grandpa, let's buy some charcoal, this winter is cold, my brothers and sisters and I are too cold to stand it, and your illness should also be kept warm." Come and stay with us. "At this time, the beds are big, and there are many people who go to relatives, so it is easy to live. Hongyun kind of wants to laugh, he thinks so.

"Okay, I'll let your mom buy it later." Grandpa should arrive, if Hongyun said that it was for him, he definitely shouldn't, but for the sake of the child, grandpa was willing.

In winter, the weather is cold, and the hawthorn cake freezes outside, not to mention drying, only drying it with residual temperature on the side of the kang, and the taste is almost the same. Although there are few places, the victory is fast.

"Xiaoli has a lot of ideas." Grandpa praised Li Xiulan, "You can come up with this method." ”

"That's what I gave birth to, whatever I want." Li Xiulan has a bad temper, but she comes and goes quickly.

"It's up to you." Grandpa laughed at his daughter.

"I'm big-" Li Xiulan is still coquettish and spicy-eyed at her age, but her grandfather is very useful.

"Go, help, don't let such a young child do so much work, I didn't let you do it before." Grandpa suddenly remembered, "When you were eighteen years old, you asked you to wash the dishes and you didn't wash them, and you let the kitten lick them." ”

Li Xiulan was embarrassed: "Okay, I'll help." I also come, the pot house is warm, and Mr. keeps you warm. "Sir is the term given to a doctor.

"You go buy some charcoal, the kind of charcoal that doesn't smoke, buy more, it's cold today, you and the children burn some. Then make a set of thick cotton jackets and cotton pants for each child. Grandpa paused, and then said, "You've made new ones for yourself, what about the children?" If I don't say it, it's up to you to do it or not, you're too disappointed in me. After speaking, he coughed, and he didn't stop for a long time, obviously angry.

"Buy, buy, I'll buy it, make it for them, and make it for you." Li Xiulan hurriedly patted her father on the back, "Don't be angry, I'll go now, stay up all night to make it." ”

Seeing that his grandfather was much better, he called Hongfang: "Xiaofang, pour some water and give grandpa medicine." ”

Hongfang responded, and Li Xiulan helped her grandfather to the kitchen.

Moved the bench and let my grandfather do a good job, and my grandfather's face was much better after being warmed.

"I'll go buy some charcoal, and you can look at some grandpa."

"Mom, you go buy some pears, and then go to the pharmacy to buy some Chuanbei and Luo Han Guo, and come back to stew for grandpa to drink." Hongyun said.
