Chapter 41: Persuasion

Although Tang Qing'er expected such a thing to happen, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, several nearby villages to buy or sell things are to go to the town, it can be said that the town is a gathering point for several villages to buy and sell, Li they make shoes to sell in the town, every time the market takes out more than 30 pairs, and a month can also sell three or four hundred pairs, the women of the rich families in the town must not look down on the shoes they make, and the poor are reluctant to buy, generally buy more solid farmers, but how many such farmers, Now other stores also look at this small business, once they do more, sell more, there is a state of oversupply, the mother and the second aunt are doing more, and the less money they earn, it is better not to do it in the long run, anyway, this month is not less money.

Tang Qing'er brewed her thoughts in her heart and said to Li: "Mother, I think it's good that you don't make shoes, we didn't need any capital to make shoes before, maybe we can earn some money, just like now you and your second aunt are all day long, embroidery, eyes have never left the shoes, so it's not good for your eyes, in the shop in the town is also ready to do this business, their embroidery will be better than you and the second aunt's embroidery, when the time comes, we will make shoes that can't be sold, do you say yes?" ”

Li Shi thought for a while and felt that what the girl said was right, and then looked up at the girl in surprise and said, "How do you know this?"

Since Tang Qing'er thought of the idea of making shoes out of rags to make money, she has become accustomed to her mother looking at her with unbelievable eyes from time to time, and naturally said: "Where do you need to understand this, don't you think about it more is this reason, mother, do you want me to be like when I was three years old?" Let others call me a fool,"

Li was frightened when he heard his daughter's words, and now as long as he thought of his daughter's stupid appearance before the age of three, he was afraid, and hurriedly said, "Bah, bah, what are you talking about?" Don't say such things again in the future," he patted Tang Qing'er on the back as he spoke.

Tang Qing'er smiled and pouted and said, "Mother, is your daughter smart?" In the future, I will definitely earn money for you and your father, and I will honor you well, and the life of the family will be better and better,"

Li had already been persuaded by his daughter's words, and when he heard the intimate words that his daughter said after wiping honey, he sighed silently, looked at the small figure without Jiao'er in the room and asked, "What about Jiao'er, I haven't seen her since I came back,"

Tang Qing'er pouted and said, "Little sister is sleeping in my house?" I'm afraid you'll wake her up when you come back at this time, so I'll let her go to sleep in my room."

Li Shi sighed, took Tang Qing'er's hand and walked out and told Tang Tiezhu and Tang Tiexiong about selling shoes, they also made a lot of money, not to mention the lack of fabric, and it took a lot of time to make shoes, and now the shops in the town are also planning to make this sound, it is better to think of other ways to make money, as for the rags we got back today, let's keep them for ourselves to make a few pairs, and make them for the little baby at home and the baby of the mother's family to keep them to wear, if there is a large piece of fabric, the adults will also make a pair of them, and keep them for the New Year to wear for celebration.

Tang Qing'er saw that her mother's arrangements were orderly, and said in her heart: "It's good to have a woman in charge at home, and everything is arranged safely." But for the Li family to make shoes for his grandparents, Tang Qinger was a little dissatisfied, he couldn't borrow any benefits from them, and he had to light the lamp and boil oil to make shoes for them.

It is said that Li Shi and they have been busy making shoes for nearly a month, and they have no time to calculate how much money they have earned, and when they are free, they count the copper plates they earned, and they wear a thousand of them into a string, and they actually wear two strings, and there are a lot of fragmentary copper plates left, which can make Li happy and bad, and it is really a sweep of the unpleasant mood of the first two days.

Tang Qing'er was also very happy when she looked at the two large strings of copper plates, the wood and stone school had almost spent all the money in the family, and the money earned from selling shoes this time could almost be used until the New Year if she saved money.

But if you stay up until the beginning of spring, it is not necessarily enough, the beginning of spring is the season of green and yellow, the family has a large population, although the family gets more food than other families, but can not stand the baby can eat, to that time, the father and mother will become in order to save rations, a day of gruel may not be able to survive until spring, but also have to find a way to earn money, move to build a new house, wear new clothes, eat white rice, this is a happy life.

The autumn breeze was cool, Tang Tiezhu and Li rested at home for a few days, Tang Tiezhu began to prepare firewood for winter, Li cooked and dried vegetables at home, and Tang Qinger took her sister at home.

On this day, Tang Qing'er saw that the jujube trees in the vegetable garden were ripe, and the jujubes were hanging on the trees and were bright and ruddy by the sun.

In the first two days, Tang Qing'er beat dates every day when she had nothing to do, and after they fell to the ground, they were put in a basket that she had already prepared. This jujube tree belongs to everyone, you have picked it all, what do others eat, I see that you have picked a lot of dates, you are not allowed to pick the remaining dates on the tree, keep them for a few other families to eat,"

Tang Qing'er retorted: "Grandma, this jujube tree has received so many dates enough for all of us to eat, why don't you let me pick them, I'm not picking dates, but picking up the ones that fell from the ground to eat, and today I also picked them up from the ground and put them in the basket,"

Zhang squinted his eyes and glanced at Tang Qing'er and said, "Then what are you doing with the bamboo pole in your hand?" ”

"Hit the birds, this bird wants to eat dates, I can't beat it away, grandma doesn't let her granddaughter eat dates, how can I let these birds eat dates?" Tang Qing'er said sarcastically.

"You...... You...... I don't know when you got so bad, hum! From now on, I will stay here every day, and I will see how you will come and what excuses you will make. Zhang was blocked by Tang Qing'er and couldn't say a word, and he could only come to the vegetable garden every day to watch the dates to prevent them from being picked by Tang Qing'er.

Tang Qing'er doesn't care about this matter, if she is a child, she is fine, but she is an adult, and she can't fight with the Zhang family every day for this matter, she is now thinking about how to make money all the time, move out of the house, far away from this family, the Zhang family is as disgusting as a fly.

Looking at the red jujube in her hand, Tang Qing'er was distracted, because she thought of a way to make money, but there was only one jujube tree at home, and several families ate it, and it was not enough to eat at all, let alone sell it for money, which was also what made her anxious, every family in the village had a jujube tree, which was kept for drying jujubes and prepared to entertain guests during the New Year, so when it came to the New Year, people in both the town and the village rarely bought dried jujubes to eat, but she didn't want dried jujubes, what she needed was the sweet jujubes in this season.
