24 Buying Corn and Books (1)
The corn was picked, and Lin Xue put all the corn stalks with a hoe, and the field was clean after a while. After putting the picked corn under the eaves of the wooden house, and taking a dozen corns and putting them in the basket, Lin Xue was relieved to get out of the space.
After eating, Duan Chuyun took Lin Xue out for a walk, carrying a basket for grocery shopping, and two plastic bags were placed in the basket, each bag contained seven or eight corns.
"Brother Xie, I'm here." As soon as Lin Xue walked to the door of the Xie family's courtyard, she shouted into the house, and as soon as Xie Yifei heard the voice, he rushed out with a towel in his hand. "Xiaoxue, you're here! I haven't seen you in days, why don't you come to play with me these days! ”
"Say me! Brother Xie, you are so busy, I heard Uncle Xie say that you went to the city to play basketball, Brother Xie, do you want to rely on a sports school? ”
Lin Xue followed Xie Yifei into the house, and Duan Chuyun carried the basket into the house. "Zhizhong, I'll ask you for a favor." Before, Lin Xue said that there was a lot of corn and she wanted to sell corn, so Duan Chuyun thought about asking Xie Zhizhong to drive to help sell the corn in the living area of the power plant.
"Okay, what's the matter?" Xie Zhizhong saw Duan Chuyun coming in with a basket, and looked at it curiously, but the basket was packed in a plastic bag, and he couldn't see what it was.
Duan Chuyun smiled and took out a plastic bag. "That's it, I'll give you a taste."
"Uncle Duan, ...... you" Xie Zhizhong took the bag, feeling quite heavy, and because of what kind of meat and bones, just look at the inside of the bag, there are seven or eight corn cobs the size of white radish. At this time...... How is it possible to have corn? It's not small...... There are about seven or eight taels.
"I took Xie corn from an old friend, and I plan to go to the living area of the power plant to buy it, and I want to ask you to do me a favor and use your truck to help me deliver it." Duan Chuyun didn't want to trouble others, but he couldn't rely on him to carry a load of corn to take the bus, others would definitely have opinions. In addition, he saw that Xiao Lin Xue took several snakeskin bags into it, and it must have been more than one.
After Xie Zhizhong retired, he bought a small truck and found some work in the town. can be regarded as being able to feed a family of three, and there will be a few dollars left over all year round.
"Uncle Duan, why are you angry with me?" Xie Zhizhong glanced at Lin Xue, who was reading the villain book with his son not far away, and began to make up his brain frantically, "Uncle Duan is really not easy, hey!" At this age, you still have to plan for Xiao Xue'er, and the power plant is also ...... How can you just give that child a little care? And the Lin family is even more hateful, how can they really leave it alone? Uncle Duan originally lived on this retirement salary, but now he has a small one, eats, and goes to school, I'm afraid that he really can't get by, so Uncle Duan will think about buying corn!
Looking at the bag on the table, he made up his mind to help the Duan family in the future, and he couldn't take advantage of the old and the young.
Duan Chuyun didn't know that Xiao Lin Xue had mentioned it before, and let Xie Zhizhong's brain make up like this, life was not easy, and he was afraid that he would be depressed.
Talking about good things, Duan Chuyun took Xiao Lin Xue to Ouyang's house, wait a while, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, the countryside had already gone to bed earlier, and he was going to the city tomorrow, Duan Chuyun asked Lin Xue to go to bed early, originally wanted Lin Xue to put the corn in the kitchen, but as soon as he heard Lin Xue say that the corn in the space could keep it fresh, he asked Lin Xue to get up early tomorrow and take out the corn.
There was no dream all night, Duan Chuyun was afraid that Xie Zhizhong would come to pull the corn, so he pulled Xiaoxue out of the quilt early, and waited until the corn was put away before going to cook breakfast.
After a while, I heard the sound of the truck outside, Lin Xue had already washed up, dried the towel and went to open the door. "Uncle Xie, good morning."
"Xiao Xue'er, you're so early!" Xie Zhizhong touched Xiaoxue's head, crossed Lin Xue and entered the courtyard. "Cherry."
Lin Xue looked at Xie Yifei who got out of the car, and laughed when she stood at the door. "Brother Xie, are you going too?"
"Yes!" Xie Yifei heard Duan Chuyun say yesterday that he was going to sell corn, so he got up early in the morning to brush his teeth, and made a fuss about going together, but Xie Zhizhong originally refused. However, Xie's mother had no choice but to make trouble for Xie Yifei, so she told Xie Zhizhong that he would help Uncle Duan sell corn later, and no one would take care of Xiao Lin Xue, so let Xie Yifei help take care of Xiao Lin Xue. In this way, Xie Zhizhong relied for a while before agreeing to Xie Yifei to follow, and all Lin Xue would see the scene just now.
"Little Cher, your corn is so delicious." Xie Yifei held a corn in his hand, took a bite and said to Lin Xue. "Do you eat?"
"No, I'm going to eat, I'm going to buy corn later." Lin Xue looked at the corn that she had taken a bite of, and smiled, of course it was delicious, it was grown in Futian Cave, and there was nothing to sell outside, so I would ask my grandfather to sell the corn more expensively.
By the time they had eaten, Xie Zhizhong had already loaded several large bags of corn onto the car. "Uncle Duan, your corn is really heavy, you can't buy corn at this time." Generally, the corn harvest is also harvested in mid-October at the latest, and now it is November, and the corn is harvested, I am afraid that there is less can not be less, even if there is old corn, how can there be such tender corn, he ate one in the morning, and the water is more and sweeter.
About 30 minutes away, at about 6:30, Lin Xue and the four of them arrived at the living area of the power plant, and Xie Zhizhong carried the corn down the truck. Spread two more snakeskin bags and pour out the corn. Duan Chuyun took out the scales that had been prepared earlier, and came out with a dozen plastic bags.
Lin Xue looked at the power plant opposite, which was where her parents used to work, but now she couldn't find her parents there.
Xie Yifei looked at the stunned Lin Xue, and he also felt unhappy. "Here you go, Cher."
Lin Xue looked at the golden corn cob, and suddenly came back to her senses, even if she didn't have her parents and grandfather, she couldn't do this.
"Thank you!" Lin Xue grabbed the corn cob, "Grandpa, do you want to eat it?" ”
There will be no one to buy vegetables yet, Duan Chuyun touched Lin Xue's head. "Eat!" Duan Chuyun was just a child's gluttony, broke the corn cob, gave one section to Xie Yifei on the side, and half to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue saw that her grandfather didn't want it, so she put half of the corn in her small bag, she was not hungry, and she would eat it later. Xie Yifei saw that Lin Xue didn't eat it, so he didn't eat it anymore and handed the corn to Lin Xue. "Put it on you first, I'll eat it later."
Lin Xue put the corn into her bag and smiled mischievously at Xie Yifei. "I'll get you back later." Jumping and running to Duan Chuyun's side and standing, "Grandpa, will anyone buy it?" ”
"Yes, there is no going out to buy groceries yet, and when someone will buy groceries, someone will buy them." Xie Zhizhong replied with a smile, their location is very good, at the intersection of the living area of the power plant, the vegetable market and the three roads to the factory area, whether it is people who go to the morning shift to buy vegetables, or people who work at night, they have to go here.
At seven o'clock, people came one after another, and some people asked, but when they heard that they wanted five cents a pound of corn, they were not very willing to buy it, after all, the rice was only five cents a pound.
Lin Xue saw a middle-aged woman ask the price and leave again, and the original hope in her heart was shattered again. Duan Chuyun hasn't done much yet, Xie Zhizhong is a little anxious, Xie Yifei saw that Lin Xue was unhappy, and he didn't stand by Lin Xue's side very loudly.
