After a while, Wen Qing, Aunt Xiao, Zhang Xiuying, and Lao He got off the bus.

"Lao He, go help Wen Qing." Zhang Xiuying said carrying a bag of clothes.

"Oh yes." Lao He jumped on the bus and carried Wen Qing's clothes and shoes off.

"Thank you, thank you Boss He." Wen Qing and Aunt Xiao said in unison.

"You're welcome, just make us some more clothes next week." Lao He said.

"No problem." Aunt Xiao said with a smile.

Zhang Xiuying carried her clothes and smiled: "That's decided, Lao He, let's go, let's go home, maybe we can sell two pieces." ”

"Great!" Lao He picked up seventy-five pairs of shoes and kept up with Zhang Xiuying.

Wen Qing and Aunt Xiao waved at Zhang Xiuying and his wife, and in less than two minutes, another shopkeeper hurriedly came to pick up the goods, paid off the money for one hundred sets of clothes and seventy-five pairs of shoes on the spot, and paid another 800 yuan for the clothes and shoes for next Monday, thanked Wen Qing again and again, and happily left with the clothes and shoes.

Aunt Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "They are really rich!" ”

Wen Qing smiled: "Fortunately, among their pedestrian street clothing stores, they have the greatest development prospects." ”

"How do you know?" Aunt Xiao asked.

"The location, the style of clothes, the passion and dedication of the owners determine the development of their respective stores, and do you think they are just selling in bulk? They will also supply to the counties below the city, so even if we give them 500 sets of clothes and 500 sets of shoes, they will not be too much. Wen Qing said.

Aunt Xiao was dumbfounded: "Now everyone loves to buy clothes, but not to make clothes, is everyone so rich?" ”

Wen Qing smiled: "In the future, every family in China will have a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a car. ”

"How is that possible?" Aunt Xiao didn't believe it.

Wen Qing smiled, people in this era naturally can't imagine the development of China's economy in the later period, let alone imagine that the TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and cars that seem to be luxury goods now are actually nothing later.

"Wen Qing, aren't we going back?" Aunt Xiao saw Wen Qing walking forward and asked.

"Let's go buy something first." Wen Qing said.

"What's that?"

"Zipper."

"What's a zipper?"

"I'll find out when we get there."

Wen Qing took Aunt Xiao to the city market, and according to what Zhang Xiuying said, she found the only one in Nanzhou City that sells zippers.

The zipper is also the zipper, and the Nanzhou people of this era called the zipper a zipper.

"This is a zipper?" Aunt Xiao looked at the strange thing in her hand, like a gear, loaded with something that looked like a small locomotive, closed it when she pulled it, and pulled it away again: "What's the use of this?" ”

"Aunt Xiao, you forgot, this is what Zhang Xiuying's purse is."

"You're going to make a leather bag?"

"No, it's making clothes."

Can this be used as a garment? Anyway, Aunt Xiao hasn't seen it.

"Boss, how much does this zipper cost?" Wen Qing asked.

"Seven cents a piece." The boss said.

"Seven points, so expensive?" Aunt Xiao exclaimed.

Wen Qing didn't think it was expensive, but said, "Boss, can I buy a little more cheaper?" ”

"How much?"

"A hundred."

The boss glanced at Wen Qing, he had been selling badly when he entered the zipper, and today he could sell a hundred at once, and he reduced a dime at the moment, saying, "Six yuan and nine cents." ”

Aunt Xiao still disliked Gui, but Wen Qing said, "Okay." ”

Wen Qing immediately took out six yuan and nine cents, and told the boss that he would come here to buy a zipper in the future.

The boss smiled and said, "I'll give you five cents cheaper next time." ”

"Thank you."

After buying the zipper, Wen Qing saw that there was a public telephone in the big market, so he called Tang Quan, troubled him with something, and asked him to come to the county seat on Sunday.

Tang Quan agreed without hesitation.

Wen Qing hung up the phone with a smile, and then hurriedly caught the last bus of the day with Aunt Xiao.

"Wen Qing, I think we can also install a phone." Aunt Xiao said.

Wen Qing nodded: "It's going to be installed in two days, how much does it cost?" ”

"I haven't pretended, I don't know, but it's expensive."

"Go back and ask."

As the bus runs, it gets closer and closer to the county seat.

Aunt Xiao remembered the troubles of the Ji family in the afternoon, and said with some pessimism: "They are so noisy, the neighbors don't know how to arrange it, and it may not be easy to recruit a tailor next time." ”

Wen Qing smiled: "Aunt Xiao, don't worry, we will get better and better, and their reputation may get worse and worse." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because we have the strength, the strength can forcefully smash a false statement and convince them."

As soon as Wen Qing's words fell, the conductor began to shout: "The four-fork intersection of the county town has arrived, and the last bus does not go to the street, so get off here." ”

As soon as the conductor shouted, there was a commotion in the carriage, Wen Qing looked out when he heard the words, and saw Yao Shiling and Wen Peng waiting at the intersection of the four forks, Wen Qing's heart was suddenly happy, and he didn't forget to say to Aunt Xiao: "Aunt Xiao, don't let my mother know about the Ji family's trouble today, and my brother can't know either, you talk to the people in the store." ”

"Jewel Red won't say that, will you?"

"Probably not, if my mother knew, she would definitely be sad at this time. So, she shouldn't know yet. ”

"Okay."

As soon as the bus stopped, Wen Qing jumped out of the car, and Yao Shiling and Wen Peng stepped forward.

"Wen Qing."

"Big sister."

Wen Qing greeted him with a smile: "Mom, Pengpeng, when did you come?" ”

"Eldest sister, today we have a cow with thorns on its tongue, don't eat grass, we are all at home to catch the cow, hold its head, and rub salt on its tongue to thorn, so it's late, my mother and I just arrived at the intersection, I saw a bus coming, I didn't expect you to be there." Wen Peng Balabala said.

Wen Qing glanced at Aunt Xiao, which meant that her mother and younger brother didn't know about the Ji family's troubles, so they didn't let it be passed on in the store, and it would be better for her to say it herself.

Aunt Xiao nodded, said hello to Yao Shiling and Wen Peng, and then asked Wen Qing, "Are you still going to the store?" ”

"If I don't go, my mother and I will go home."

Aunt Xiao mentioned a hundred zippers: "Okay, I'll go back." It's getting dark, so stay safe. ”

Wen Qing nodded: "Well, okay, Aunt Xiao, if they are here, you can talk to them, tomorrow morning, I will pay the salary, and if you do what you say, you and Baohong's will also be sent together." ”

Aunt Xiao smiled: "Well, we believe in you, don't emphasize it." ”

Wen Qing smiled, and then walked to Da Dirt Road with Yao Shiling and Wen Peng.

Yao Shiling asked: "Wen Qing, do you have the money to pay your salary?" ”

Wen Qing didn't speak, took out a small cloth bag the size of a palm from his pocket, and with a "pop", he uncovered the hidden button, revealing a thick pile of one hundred and fifty bills. Ticket.

"That's a lot!" Before Wen Peng finished speaking, Yao Shiling covered his mouth and said sternly: "What are you calling nonsense." ”

Wen Peng immediately stopped squeaking, Yao Shiling looked around, her voice was so small that she almost had to gasp, and asked, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

"Clothes and shoes are sold."

"So fast?"

"Hmm."

Yao Shiling covered Wen Qing's hand: "Quickly put it up, don't let people see it." ”

Wen Qing smiled and obediently put the money in his trouser pocket.

"It doesn't work there! Chest rubbing! Yao Shiling was afraid that Wen Qing would lose the money if she was careless.

"I don't have a pocket on my chest." Wen Qing said.

Yao Shiling said: "Then you have to carry it in your arms, what should you do if you lose it?" ”

"You can pick it up." Wen Qing handed over the money.

Yao Shiling didn't have a few dollars on her body for a long time, and there was an extra pocket and an extra piece of cloth, so she didn't have a pocket on her chest, but she didn't worry about Wen Qing taking the money, so she took the money: "I'll put you in it." Then she clutched it tightly in her hand and held it on her chest, lest others find out that she had money, lest she lose it.

In the past, she walked the big dirt road with Wen Qing and Wen Peng easily, but this time she was in a hurry.

"Mom, why are you walking so fast? I can't even keep up. Wen Peng pulled the corner of Wen Qing's clothes and ran in small steps.

"You don't want to eat sauce elbow anymore?" Yao Shiling asked, Yao Shiling learned that she would come back on Friday, and when she proudly gave shoes to Aunt Xiao early in the morning, she specially bought an elbow and spent a full dollar.

"Yes." Wen Peng ran up when he heard about eating.

Wen Qing smiled, secretly thinking that she would not tell her mother that she had so much money on her, and she was nervous.

Until the courtyard, Yao Shiling went straight to the east house, and after sitting on the bed, she took out the sweaty money before she relaxed.

"Mom, isn't it just a few thousand dollars, don't be so nervous." Wen Qing smiled and relieved Yao Shiling's feelings.

Yao Shiling deliberately glanced at her: "What do you know about your child's family, do you know that money can force people to death, the eldest sister Zhou next door, her mother went to the county seat, but she lost five yuan, and she went home to drink pesticides when she was distressed and sad, and she would have died long ago if she hadn't found it." ”

"yes, I see." Wen Qing stepped forward obediently and sat on the bed, sitting opposite Yao Shiling. Yao Shiling handed the money to Wen Qing, and after Wen Qing took the money, she carefully told Yao Shiling how the money was earned, how much profit was, and how to distribute it, Yao Shiling nodded again and again: "Okay, you are an assertive, and my mother listens to you." ”

"Okay."

After Wen Qing put the money away, the family gathered around to have a sumptuous dinner, and Wen Qing's stomach was round, and he called it delicious, especially delicious!

After the meal, Wen Qing asked Wen Peng to go to the village to call a few neighbors who came to the house to make shoes, and prepared to pay the salary.

Wen Peng immediately said: "Okay, eldest sister, then after I shouted, I will play with the big knife on the road, is it okay?" ”

"You're good friends with Broadsword again?" Wen Qing asked, the last time Erhuzi set fire to the wheat straw, Dadao did not make an alibi for Wen Peng, Wen Peng has always minded, ignoring Dadao, even if Dadao follows him every day, he ignores it, how can he play a piece again at this time.

"Dadao said, it's not that he is not righteous enough, but his mother locked him in the pigsty, so he can't get out."

Wen Qing smiled: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Don't panic, Wen Peng come over and wash the oil off your mouth before you go to play." Yao Shiling fed the cattle in front of the cowshed and shouted loudly.

Wen Peng obediently walked to the porcelain pot, raised his hand, and put it on his mouth, regardless of whether it was clean or not, he ran away.

"Look at how playful this kid is." Yao Shiling pointed to Wen Peng's back and said, "It's a big night." ”

Wen Qing smiled: "Mom, aren't all the children in this area playing on the dirt road?" It's okay. ”

After Wen Peng ran out of his yard, he ran to Sister Zhou's house first: "Sister Zhou, my eldest sister is back, and she asked you to get your salary." ”

Sister Zhou was brushing the pot, and when she heard that she was getting paid, she hurriedly threw away the loofah head, and shouted while untying her apron: "Daddy, son, come and brush the pot, Wen Qing is back, let me get the salary!" ”

"I'll be paid so soon!"

"Hmm!" Sister Zhou's mouth couldn't close, and she couldn't wait to run to Wen Qing's house in one step, but she couldn't show that she was so positive, after all, the other five hadn't gone yet, so she leaned on the wall of her fence courtyard and listened to the sound of the road.

I didn't hear the sound on the road, but I heard Aunt Wang shouting: "Wang Da, I'm going to pay my salary!" ”

"These girls are really loud." Sister Zhou said secretly.

Aunt Wang smiled as she walked, and walked from the east end of the village to Wen Qing's house, she was not a little reserved like Sister Zhou, she shouted directly from Sister Zhou's door: "Zhou's family, the salary has been paid!" Let's go, go to Wenqing's house to get paid! ”

Sister Zhou walked out of the fence courtyard at this time, looked like she had just knew, and said, "This is the money?" ”

"There's still money." Aunt Wang was overjoyed.

Five people, including Aunt Wang and Sister Zhou, arrived at Wen Qing's house.

Wen Qing was sitting at the big table in the hall, Wen Liang and Yao Shiling were sitting on either side of the table, and there was a kerosene lamp on the table.

Wen Liang was reading a book by a kerosene lamp.

Yao Shiling is making shoes.

Wen Qing seemed to be writing, and put a lot of money in front of her, although it was only a few dozen yuan, which was really a lot for Aunt Wang.

"Wen Qing is back." Aunt Wang shouted with a smile.

Wen Qing and Yao Shiling hurriedly stood up to greet them: "Aunt Wang, you are here." ”

Yao Shiling hurriedly gave up her seat and asked all five people to sit around the big table.

Wen Qing wrote and drew in the notebook, and then said: "Auntie, sisters, I have seen the shoes you made, I am very satisfied, the customers are also satisfied, I also heard my mother say, this week you come to make shoes at a fixed time every day, and you are not lazy, so I promised you to pay you before, and I will send you a week's worth today." ”

"Wen Qing, you're too polite." Aunt Wang rubbed her hands, pressed her excitement and smiled.

Others followed.

It is undeniable that at this moment, Aunt Wang, Sister Zhou and others are excited.

plus Yao Shiling has a total of six people, Wen Qing shouted their names one by one, except for Aunt Wang and Yao Shiling, who are seven yuan and five cents salary, the others are five yuan.

After getting the salary, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they admired Wen Qingyu at a young age, holding the real salary, and several people wanted to make the shoes faster.

Wen Qing simply boosted his morale, and then asked the five of them to continue to come to shoes tomorrow.

A few people took their wages and excitedly walked out of Wenqing's yard.

As soon as I got out of the yard, I saw many people in the village come up and ask, "Is it really paid?" ”

"How much? Five bucks? So much? ”

"You don't have to work hard, you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun, you can make five dollars a week by making a few pairs of shoes? Lie. ”

Aunt Wang was not happy when she heard this: "Who is lying to people, who is lying to people, Wen Qing can bear it, next time let me listen to your nonsense and tear your mouth apart!" "Aunt Wang took Wen Qing's salary of seven yuan, Wen Qing is the reborn parents, who saved the lives of her whole family, who dares to say that Wen Qing is not good, she tore their mouths!

No matter what the other villagers say, Aunt Wang, Sister Zhou, and other five people got their wages, which is real, everyone can't help but be envious, who can't make shoes, who can't make shoes, originally sang the decline Wen Qingfa couldn't get paid, and Wen Qing was a young man, but he felt a pain in his face at the moment, and secretly rubbed his head to Wen Qing's family.

Even Dadao's mother couldn't help poking Dadao and said, "Dadao, aren't you good with your friends?" You go and ask your mother if you want someone to make shoes for Wenqing? ”
