"Mother, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Sun shook his head and immediately denied it. Jiang Muxue sighed, that is homesickness, but unfortunately, she can't do this for the time being.

Before the Chinese New Year, she threw such a big bomb on her three sons, and the fire went out as soon as it exploded, she not only failed to achieve her goal, but also brought humiliation on herself.

Maybe Liu Guihua will be shouting all over the street at that time, making the name white begonia infamous.

And the alternative behavior of himself and the Sun family is also destined to be infected by those old people who are traditional and never dare to jump out of their shells.

She is here to avenge Bai Haitang, not to pour dirty water on her.

However, Sun's unhappiness is not because he is homesick.

She has long said that where the begonia is, there is her home.

Jiang Muxue asked again and again, and Sun confided the truth, the old man no longer wanted to eat enough and wait at home every day to be hungry, she also wanted to do something to earn two money.

After listening, Jiang Muxue didn't immediately refute, "Isn't the money I earned enough for you to spend?" You're in your seventies, so don't worry about that. ”

Those who really understand the elderly will never say this, because the old people want to do things, not for how much money they make, they just don't want to be idle, sit and wait for death.

All along, all they wanted was one thing, something that would allow the day's time to flow through the world to the fullest.

After thinking about this, Jiang Muxue changed her words and said: "Actually, it's good, but I don't know what my mother can do." ”

Sun's eyes lit up, and his expression immediately became lively, "Let me tell you, those mothers-in-law in West Hutong are the ones who liked to come to our house to play years ago...... These days, I have nothing to do, and I am weaving straw baskets at home, saying that I take the materials from the middle, and weave them according to other people's requirements, and give two yuan for one basket. ”

Oh, Jiang Muxue nodded, and then what?

"When I looked at it that day, the weaving was so rough, not half as good as mine. It's also slow, I can make up ten a day, and I can't make up eight. Speaking of this, Sun was very proud.

This Jiang Muxuexin, when Sun was young, once followed Bai Haitang's father-in-law to sell bamboo baskets and grass baskets, at that time, Bai Haitang's husband, that is, Li Carpenter just left, in order to make a living, as long as there was no work in the field, the couple put Li Carpenter on a small cart, and a family of three went out to sell handmade bamboo baskets and grass baskets.

That's half a century ago.

"Begonia ......" Seeing that Jiang Muxue had not spoken, Sun swept it in front of her with his hand, and when Jiang Muxue came back to his senses, he closed his mouth.

But the look was especially expecting the daughter-in-law to agree to this.

"Mother didn't mention it, I forgot about it. But making ten a day is too tiring, and I earn less. And the middle party has to take a bite from it...... Well, let's do it, in the past two days, I'm looking for a way to find materials, buy some for my mother, you practice first, get a few chic, novel looks, after the compilation, you come out of the stall with me at night, sell next to me, sell directly to customers, better than letting the middle party eat kickbacks from the middle. ”

Sun's was overjoyed, and she felt more and more that her daughter-in-law had a good idea, so that a basket could be sold for at least a few more yuan, so that she could also save some money for Begonia......

The more Sun thought about it, the more energetic he became, and he couldn't wait to start immediately.

Three days later, Jiang Muxue let her get her wish.

If you want to talk about Sun's craftsmanship, it is really not covered, the basket that is braided, which is the basket, the handicraft that is alive.

Jiang Muxue looked at a few carefully, nodded in praise, and then said, "It's a little smaller." ”

"Huh?" Sun was puzzled, "These are small enough, no matter how small they are, how can they pack things?" ”

Jiang Muxue laughed, "Mother, you don't understand, who still uses baskets to hold things now?" Life in the city is different from that in the countryside, not to mention those rich people, take us as an example, you see, there are bamboo baskets or something in this house? ”

"I don't need it at all! If you make it smaller and more delicate, I will buy some decorative bouquets and hang them around the basket, so that each basket can be sold for at least ten dollars more! ”

"Really?" Sun was dumbfounded, looked at the cheap materials in his hand, and then looked at the braided basket, and couldn't believe it for a while.

With her rough and shriveled hands, can she make so much money?

Jiang Muxue said very solemnly.

Sun said he would do it, and according to Jiang Muxue's request, he made it up in one go.

Jiang Muxue looked at it, nodded again and again, and immediately set a price, one fifteen, no counteroffer.

Sun immediately shuddered a few times, "Fifteen? It's too expensive, does anyone buy it? I'll look at ten dollars. ”

"Mother, you only care about the editor, fifteen is still less! If you use a more complex arrangement, I'll set the price at 20 or 30. ”

The Sun family didn't dare to listen to it anymore, and the daughter-in-law's pricing didn't dare to think about it at all.

Now there are too few tricks, she only works hard honestly.

Two days later, the Sun family made a total of twelve baskets, using three weaving methods, all of which were dressed up beautifully by Jiang Muxue, and several baskets also contained the shells they brought back from Guazhou Island, not to mention, it was really beautiful to dress up like this.

That night, the Sun family went out of the stall with Jiang Muxue.

Now, the weather in April and May is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and the night is neither hot nor cold, and after arriving at the stall, Sun honestly sits on the side, guarding her baskets with a nervous face.

When the first customer stopped, Sun was so nervous that he forgot the price.

Jiang Muxue hurriedly smiled: "The styles are different, the prices are not the same, and the different styles are also different, some are complex and some are simple, which one does this brother like?" ”

The man pointed to one casually and said that he would buy it and send it home to his daughter.

Jiang Muxue introduced with a smile, from the style to the weaving method, and even the origin of the shells in the basket, she said it again, with a decent appearance and a serious expression, and the person who listened was stunned for a moment, and finally talked about the price.

Jiang Muxue asked for twenty, but the man didn't blink, he directly took out the money, and bought a few strings of gluten when he left.

Sun took the twenty yuan and was speechless with excitement.

Jiang Muxue deliberately coquettishly said: "Mother, look at you, sell a basket and top me with twenty strings of gluten!" ”

Sun listened to it stupidly.

I have been sighing, the times have really changed, I used to walk through the streets and alleys to sell a few cents of a cheap thing, but now, it is so expensive!

In the evening, the first thing her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did when they returned home was to count the money, Jiang Muxue earned a piece of two yuan and five yuan of loose money, and the counting was normal, but the Sun family earned dozens of dollars, not to mention that she had counted the money several times.

However, after coming back, she still worked with Jiang Muxue to count the two hundred and twenty-five yuan she earned, and smiled while counting, the kind of happiness that overflowed her body was indescribable.

After counting the money, all of it was handed over to Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue left the whole thing to zero, and Sun took the twenty-five yuan, not to mention how happy he was, and he was happier than the boss giving a bonus.

This is the money she earns, which can be spent with special peace of mind, and can save a sum for her children, this kind of mood can probably only be experienced by parents.

Sun actually gave birth to three children, only the eldest carpenter Li survived, and now that Carpenter Li is gone, Bai Haitang is the closest person to her.

What's more, since the two of them left the small village and embarked on this utopian dream, the relationship between the two is no longer that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is closer than a mother and daughter, and they are the only ones for each other.
