After throwing the matter to Ma Liguo, Shen Yunfang continued his final exam. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In mid-January of 80, when the Agricultural University was on holiday, Shen Yunfang poured out the air and began to work hard to clean up the courtyard.

In December, she wrote to Li Xianglian and asked her family to come over in mid-January to help her with some work. If you say let them come to play, they may not be able to come, but if you say let them come to help with the work, with Sister Li's temper, they must come on time. Of course, she also mailed the family with the letter, and the money for the family's train ticket.

Sister Li's family came over, and they almost had to live until the end of the year, which was not short, and it was a little inconvenient to live upstairs. Sister Li's family couldn't live comfortably, so she wanted to clean up the courtyard and let their family live there.

The furniture and bedding in the courtyard are all complete, but if you want to live in it, you still have to prepare some firewood, rice, oil, salt or something.

Especially now that it is winter, if there is no stove in the house, there will be no way to live in it, so Shen Yunfang is ready to take advantage of the free time now to buy some honeycomb coal.

Buying honeycomb coal also requires a ticket, Shen Yunfang originally didn't have this kind of ticket in her hand, but because she knew that Sister Li's family was back, she asked Ma Liguo to help change some in advance.

He is the invoice, so it is still a little convenient, just take some overseas Chinese remittance rolls in his hand, and change a lot.

Honeycomb coal is very cheap, almost a penny more than a piece, Shen Yunfang bought two hundred yuan first, transported it back to the courtyard in four trips, and neatly stacked it to the root of the wall.

I went to the small market on the east side of the family area again, and I really let her see that there was food for sale.

A man in his forties, wearing a ragged coat, squatting on the side of the road with his sleeves on, with a cloth bag in front of him, which had not been opened, and from the outside, he really didn't know what he was selling.

Shen Yunfang came to see him mainly because he seemed to be selling grain, so he asked with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect that this person was really selling grain.

"This comrade, how much is your rice a catty?" Shen Yunfang opened the bag, revealing the rice inside, she grabbed a handful and looked at it, it was indeed this year's new rice, but at first glance, it was hand-scooped rice, and some rice husks were still carried.

"Girl, I'm all new rice this year, if you sincerely want it, give me three cents a pound. It's expensive, but my rice is delicious, really. If you can have it, I'll give you a cheaper price. The middle-aged man said a little nervously, he inquired, there is a dime and eighty-one pounds in the grain store, and his price is equivalent to twice that of the public.

He also just arrived, the first time he came to sell rice, he didn't dare to shout, he heard that there was a market here, and no one caught him selling things here, so he carried it over and sold it. As soon as he squatted for a while, someone came to ask, and his nervous mouth was a little scoopy.

Shen Yunfang looked at the cloth bag in front of him, and it should be about fifty catties, "How many catties do you have in this bag?"

When the man heard that this beautiful girl was really going to buy them all, he said excitedly: "A total of fifty catties, I have weighed it at home, it is definitely enough to scale, if you can have it, I will charge you fourteen yuan and five." ”

Fifty catties of rice, a total of fifteen yuan, this is five cents cheaper for her.

Although Shen Yunfang felt that the five cents were cheap, he also knew that this was the ruthlessness of others to give it cheap, and it was a matter that he didn't pay five cents, but at this time, the purchasing power of five cents was quite strong.

At least enough for a family of three for a day's expenses. If you can get by, you can get through three or four days for five cents.

"Okay, I've bought all of these, but I don't have a bag, or you can send it home for me, and I'll pour it out for you." Shen Yunfang happily bought them all.

"Where's your house, no?" the man nodded in agreement, and he was happy to be able to sell all the rice at once.

"It's not far away, it's in this family area. You put the bag of rice on my bike, and I'll give you the money first. After Shen Yunfang finished speaking, he took out the money from his pocket, counted out fourteen yuan and handed it over.

The man rubbed his hands and took the money, looked around, and then carefully counted them one by one, counted them back and forth, and then carefully put the money close to him, and then put the rice bag on the back seat of Shen Yunfang.

Shen Yunfang pushed the bicycle, the man held the bag in the back, and the two walked towards the courtyard together.

On the way, Shen Yunfang accosted the middle-aged man behind him, "Comrade, you are a nearby farmer." ”

The middle-aged man was very alert, and when he heard her ask where he was, he looked at her vigilantly, if it weren't for the reluctance to hold the cloth bag of rice, he turned around and ran away.

"Uncle, you don't have to be nervous, I just asked, I don't mean anything else. Shen Yunfang hurriedly smiled soothingly, "Uncle, I saw you come to sell rice, thinking that your family must have a lot of rice." I have a lot of family, and I usually don't have enough food to eat, so I finally met you to sell rice, so I wanted to ask if you have any extra rice at home, if so, sell it to me. ”

Sister Li's family of five, the youngest child is ten years old, two boys can eat, these fifty catties of rice can be eaten for more than ten days, she thought that if this man's family still has rice, then buy more, how can I not let the eldest sister's family come here and save money.

"You still want rice?" said the middle-aged man suspiciously.

"Yes, we have a lot of children, and I can't eat this rice for long, so I thought that if you still have rice at home, uncle, you can send me some when you are free, or at this price, no need to be cheap, I will ask for as much as you want. Shen Yunfang said proudly.

She doesn't have too much rice, although she hasn't eaten half of the more than 1,000 catties of rice in the space in recent years, but she still thinks that rice is cheap and can save more.

"Really?" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

"Then what's the excuse, I'll take you to my house in a while, if you have rice, you can send it to me. Shen Yunfang said as she walked.

"Then, I'll send you two hundred catties of rice tomorrow?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively. Two hundred pounds, that's sixty yuan.

"Okay, when are you coming tomorrow, I'll wait for you at home. Shen Yunfang smiled.

"Then I'll send it to you tomorrow morning. The man said immediately. "Then you want rice, do you want white noodles?"

"Yes, if you have noodles, it would be better, and I will give you the same price as rice, how about it." Shen Yunfang smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, okay, when I go home and clean up, I'll send you as much as I have at home, don't worry, I'll definitely give you enough scales, and I can't let you suffer." The middle-aged man assured.

The two of them had already walked to the courtyard, Shen Yunfang put the bicycle up, then opened the lock and pushed open the door of the courtyard.

The two of them entered the courtyard, and Shen Yunfang went to the house to find a bag, and together with the middle-aged man, poured out the rice.

The middle-aged man also found out that there is this little girl's family in this yard, no wonder this little girl can afford to buy so much rice to eat, the emotional family is rich.

The middle-aged man was more relieved, and secretly made up his mind that he would clean up with his daughter-in-law when he went home, leaving enough rice and noodles for the family to eat for the New Year, and sell the rest.

As for what your family usually eats, isn't there still bud rice stubble, and you can eat as much as a big stubble.
