When they got up in the morning, Wang Jianjun and Su Xiuying were in a hurry to eat, and the green jeep appeared at the door on time to pick them up.
Su Xiaobei didn't ask her godmother and godfather about her specific work, but Wang Yuhui told her that she was working in the shipyard, Zhang Hongying's work relationship had not been transferred, and she was breastfeeding, so she didn't know what she would do in the future.
Su Hongjie pushed out a bicycle, patted the saddle, deliberately made a movement to look at Su Xiaobei, smiled contemptuously and rode away. When Su Xiuying left, he asked him to take Xiaobei to the school to have a look, but this person disobeyed the yin and yang, and deliberately got rid of Su Xiaobei.
Su Xiaobei lay on the side of the door and watched Su Hongjie walk away, and slapped happily, what kind of school is the ghost willing to go to, thanks to this narrow-minded "young father", she still has something to correct.
Back in the house, Su Xiaobei began to pinch himself in front of the mirror, his hair had grown to his shoulders, because there was no head rope to tie it, and he had been draped at home.
found a headband on the cabinet and tied her hair, rubbed her face and lips vigorously with her hands to make herself look healthier, put on the red thread hat and red scarf prepared by her godmother, put on her coat, took the house key and five yuan pocket money that Su Xiuying gave her in the morning, and went out beautifully.
First go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes for six cents, she wants to go to the underground market on South Street to see, no investigation has no right to speak, she is ready to start her own business plan.
In December, the temperature in the county seat is significantly lower than that of Daliang Village. Su Xiaobei, who had been wearing a lot, was blown by the cold and hard north wind, and came all the way to South Street, where more than a dozen people were squatting in twos and threes in the stone alley.
At their feet there are cabbage leaves, or radish roots, potato skins, etc., which means what they want to sell. Su Xiaobei really admires their wisdom, and this kind of valuable experience summed up in long-term battles will always belong to those who dare to act.
"Uncle, how much is your cabbage?" Su Xiaobei found an honest-looking old man and squatted beside him.
The old man was rolling a paper cigarette roll in his hand, and when he heard Xiaobei's question, he glanced back at her, spat on his fingers, and then twisted his cigarette roll.
Su Xiaobei has a black face, this old man looks down on her as a child, and he doesn't even care about it.
"Oh, forget it, I'll ask others, my mother said that if you buy a cheap one of ten catties and eight catties, I don't know whose cabbage is better." Su Xiaobei stood up, took out a few dollars in his pocket and scratched his head in embarrassment, and the nearby listeners hurriedly surrounded her, "Big sister, look at me, there is not a single insect eye, the core bag is tight, and even the vegetable gang can chew sweet juice." ”
"Eldest sister, look at me, I'm a serious cabbage, it's rotten when it's boiled, make sure you're delicious."
“……”
Su Xiaobei was surrounded in the middle, and she was called the eldest sister for a while, and the eldest sister for a while, but no one told her the price.
"Okay, I can only buy one person's cabbage, and I can't take it too much, if any of you has a car to help me send it back, I'll buy whom."
Su Xiaobei checked the vegetable cellar of his godmother's house, there was only one cabbage left in the store, and a bag of potatoes, they were busy at work and didn't have time to buy vegetables, so Su Xiaobei decided to help them buy some cabbage and go back.
As soon as I heard that it was going to be delivered home, I squatted back for several people, all of whom did not have a car, and another reason was that they did not want to be delivered to their homes. If it's closer, it's better to say, if it's far away, it's not cost-effective, this time is just the time when people in the city go out to buy vegetables, just after the snow, all kinds of vegetables are not worried about selling at all.
The remaining few people said they were willing to send it, but Su Xiaobei was very disappointed when he saw their dishes, basically they were green vegetable gangs with no cabbage heart and tendons.
Xiaobei refused their sales pitch and was about to try her luck inside, but the old man she greeted at the beginning stopped her, "Little girl, look at my dishes." ”
Su Xiaobei looked at him in surprise, "Uncle, I need to send it home." She was afraid that the old man had not heard her.
"I know, you look at the dishes first." The old man took a puff with a cigarette in his hand, turned around and shouted to the head in the alley, "Iron pillar!" ”
One of the people inside answered, and after a while, a young man in his early twenties ran out, "Dad! ”
"You go and push the cart over, I'm going to use it."
"Uh-huh, Daddy!" The iron pillar fart ran back, and in less than a minute he rode out on a brand new bicycle, "Dad, here you ride." ”
"Come down, take this little sister to see the cabbage, pick the good ones and sell them." The old man finally finished the paper cigarette roll and licked his lips unsatisfied.
Su Xiaobei followed Tiezhu to the alley, until he reached the innermost, Tiezhu stood outside an iron gate, looked at Xiaobei smiled innocently, and pushed the door in.
"It's all here, eight cents a pound." Tie Zhu squinted at the sun and made a shooting motion, which caused Xiaobei to giggle, "Brother Tiezhu, you are really interesting." ”
"Hehe, they all call me a stupid pillar." Tie Zhu shook the "eight" in his hand, and shot at the sun "suddenly".
"Okay, little sister, you choose cabbage, my father will scold me if I go out late." Tie Zhu put away his playfulness and looked at her seriously.
In the courtyard against the corner of the shady wall, a large pile of cabbage is covered with straw curtains and plastic sheets, stacked neatly, each wrapped to the bottom, the heart is tight and heavy, the color is light yellow, and the incision is large and easy to store.
"Why are there so many?" There are at least hundreds of catties here, and now there is no package production to the household, who has such a large piece of self-reserved land to grow cabbage?
"My dad took it." Tie Zhu said proudly.
"Your father?" The old man outside harvests cabbage? Isn't this a second-class dealer? If Su Xiaobei got a treasure, she originally wanted to find someone who could help her sell seafood.
"Yes, my dad is a well-known old slipper."
Su Xiaobei smiled bitterly, how could a son say this about his father? "What's Uncle's name?"
"My father's name is Sun Changyou."
Su Xiaobei remembered this name and picked fifteen Chinese cabbages, a total of 50 catties after weighing.
Tie Zhu put the cabbage into a sack, and after tying it up, he hesitated and stood there for a long time, "Brother Tie Zhu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"This one is going to crush my car." Tiezhu pouted childishly.
"Then can you help me carry it back?" Su Xiaobei couldn't cry or laugh, his body was at least more than 140 pounds, and he didn't worry about bursting tires.
Su Xiaobei lifted it behind him, and Tiezhu asked suspiciously, "Huh?" Why is today's dish so light? ”
"Brother Tiezhu, I'll hold on to the back." Su Xiaobei's strength in her previous life was inherited, and fifty catties was not heavy for her at all, but if she wanted to carry the cabbage back, she would definitely become a celebrity in the county, and she didn't want to be pulled to study like a monster.
