Sixty-five
"Look at you, yes, what are you doing at me, hurry up and eat! We'll help unload these vegetables, and we'll help wash them after a while, so you don't have to worry about other things, my mother has already arranged them for us just now. The sister-in-law of the Wang family was still a little unhappy in her heart, but looking at her father-in-law and Liu Yuxin, they were like this, bright and upright, she was embarrassed to go too far, if everyone was upright, if she was like that, she would be too immeasurable, and when they were at home last night, they said that they would work well for their sister in the future.
In fact, the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family, so she thinks like this, also because Liu Yuxin is very attentive to several of their children, she not only buys things for a few children, the key is that she also teaches a few children to read seriously, which is enough for their family to be grateful, not to mention that now this sister is still thinking of such a good way to take their family to make a fortune, and after a while, she still wants her father-in-law to talk to Liu Yuxin, let her mother's brother come over to help, and earn some silver so that the winter can be much better.
"Auntie, why are you still talking to them outside, this is millet porridge is about to be cold, today's grandma's millet porridge is thickened and tastes good, I have eaten two bowls, if you don't come again, I can give you all the inside of the pot to eat, which will make your mouth drool." Wang Xiaohu was eating in the kitchen, but when he heard Liu Yuxin's voice, he ran to the yard with a bowl.
"Oh, you stupid kids bring the bowl out to eat, you look at so many people in the yard, how can you eat! Hurry up and go in, I'll be right away, big brother, you can also come over and pad it, you have to go to collect the food in the afternoon! Da Chuan, Xiao Chuan, Xiao Hu, you hurry up and eat, my aunt can tell you today, for a while, there will be many people who will pick vegetables and send them in the afternoon, a few of you have to help one of you to help the reputation, the other two people have to help count, and help pay the silver, you have to do this job with me, just take advantage of today's opportunity Aunt to test the results of your study during this time, Yuchuan! Why didn't I see you today. Auntie, my second brother went out with my second uncle early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet! We will definitely be able to do the things you arrange in the afternoon, so you can rest assured! "Wang Xiaochuan at this time also looks at them still have a lot of work, these days with Liu Yuxin they have also learned a lot, the key is that this child has been with Liu Yuxin for a while, but he is a capable person who can now write and calculate, and there is another point that is not like before when he was always silent, now he has become more talkative, and the child is a lot smarter.
"Dachuan, you are the eldest brother of their family, this time my aunt will hand it over to you, you give your younger brothers to arrange the work, as for the paper to be used for accounting for a while, you go behind the desk of your aunt's house and get it to use it, this is the key, when you take it out, remember to lock the door of your aunt's house, and on the table of your aunt's house, my aunt put a few peaches for you, you remember to come over for a while, and take it for your afternoon snacks, and besides, if you four brothers behave well this afternoon, Auntie will make you something to eat in the evening. Liu Yuxin looked at the extension of the smile of several children, and knew that these children were still reliable, and out of love in his heart, he would prepare some fruits for these children every day, so that they could supplement vitamins, and there were very few fruits in this winter. The godmother and her family are absolutely reluctant to use money to buy those fruits to eat.
"Auntie, we know, don't worry!" As soon as the children heard that Liu Yuxin left them peaches, their eyes lit up, the peaches given by their aunt were much sweeter than those bought outside, and the taste was drooling when they thought about it, but their aunt also said that they could only eat at home and could not take them out. Originally, Wang Xiaohu wanted to take it out and show off to his friends in other villages, but after Liu Yuxin said this, the child also stopped thinking like that, the key is that the aunt said that if anyone said about eating peaches, they would not have to eat it in the future, and the lesser of the two loves, it would become a trivial matter to show off for their own future happiness.
"Xiaohu, you go and bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the house, the third child, you go and move the table and put it at the door, and after the mutual pen, ink, paper and inkstone are brought, they will be put on the table for a while, and the two of you will count and pay the bill." Wang Dacheng arranged the lighter for the two younger brothers, and looked at the courtyard, everyone in the courtyard performed their duties, only the aunt sat alone at the kitchen door with a bowl in her hand, with a smile on her face, at this time he also felt that he was worth it, although he was very busy, but it was much stronger than the days of going to work outside these days, he was just a 12-year-old child outside, but he had to move bricks and mud like adults, and he ate steamed buns every day, and his life was miserable.
This morning grandma boiled eggs for each of them, saying that it was the aunt who let them live, from early this morning, the adults in the family began to be busy, grandma also specially respected the aunt's instructions, let them know more and sleep for a while, such a good day is really rare, my aunt said today that as long as they behave well, they will also be able to eat well at night, I feel very excited when I think about it, I must work well for my aunt in the future, so that I don't have to go out to sell coolies, and I can sleep until I have real skills, The key is that you can earn more money than you can earn from working outside, and you don't have to look at other people's eyes.
"Dad, you were so busy early this morning that you didn't care about eating, hurry up, my aunt asked me to send it to you, but grandma also gave it two eggs lying inside!" Wang Dachuan arranged the rest of the house, and after his younger brother arranged it, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen and first brought a bowl of millet porridge to his father, and put two eggs in another bowl, and then handed them to his father's hand, and then began to move the scales and scales himself.
"Sister-in-law Wang, I heard that your family collects these vegetables, saying that it is a penny and a pound, whether it is true or false, I picked all the vegetables for you, you look at my vegetables, not that I boast, in our village I apricot blossoms said that my dishes are the second, no one dares to call them the first." A very rugged-looking fat woman twisted her bucket waist and came in at the gate of their house. At this time, he was followed by a very burly-looking man, and I saw that he was carrying a vegetable on his shoulder, which was very heavy when you saw it.
"Ouch, Xinghua girl, can I still not know your vegetable growing skills? That's the best thing? But let's talk also count, your vegetables, this cabbage is a penny a pound, cowpeas are rarer, as long as there is no old, we still give 3 yuan a pound, and that mustard greens, we are like this, because the quantity is relatively large, and we will also give you a penny and a pound, you see our price is fair! You have to thank me for this goddaughter, she has nothing to do at home one day to tinker with a little vegetables, just negotiated with the normal shop, you see this instrument is convenient for others, my goddaughter said yes, it is still convenient for the people in our village, so that the people in our village can follow her to get rich first, and then you can earn more money this winter, and everyone can live more comfortably. "Aunt Wang's face is full of smiles, he has already seen the other party's dishes, and the other party's vegetable planting technology he knows very well This burden of vegetables is probably one or two hundred catties, no wonder this apricot blossom is smiling like a flower, this section of the dish has to be one or two hundred dollars, and there is no need to go outside and wait for a long time to see other people's faces.
"That's a good sister-in-law, your family's work has brought good news to all of us, thank you! You don't see anything good to eat, my three boys caught a fish in the ditch today, you can stew it! "Xinghua is also sensible, Aunt Wang actually said this, how could he not help everyone so much!
"Uncle Wang, you pick your dishes here, Dachuan hurry over and weigh these dishes for your grandfather Wang, and love to remember to put every dish in a pile, don't pile it together, and it will be troublesome to clean it up when the time comes." Wang Da Niu was pulling the rice in his mouth, and he also commanded his son to hurry up and greet people.
"Grandpa Wang, you hurry up and pick the dishes in front of us, I will classify these dishes for you first, and then weigh them for you."
"Xiaochuan, you pour a glass of water for Grandpa Wang, let him sit down and drink some water to take a breath, and after the two of us weigh the dishes, we can settle accounts for him when the time comes." Wang Dachuan would only treat his younger brother, and then quickly instructed the person who picked the vegetables to pick the vegetables to the open space in front of him.
"Grandpa Wang, you sit down and take a breath first, after our brothers have done all this, you can take the money when the time comes." Wang Xiaohu is also a discerning person, there is nothing to do with him at this time, he hurriedly ran into the house and moved a bench over, so that the old man could rest for a while, then once the seaweed was not light, it would take a while for them to weigh these dishes.
"Da Niu, your sons and nephews have grown up now, look at what this one looks like." The old man sat on the bench, walked inside, holding a cup of tea that Wang Xiaochuan handed him just now, squeaking and drinking, looking very envious on his face, but his sons and grandsons are not idle people, they are busy picking vegetables in the field for a while! Now the old couple is just the first to take the lead, to find out if the situation is true, this Wang Tiehammer's family used to be the poorest family in the circle, but I didn't expect to recognize a goddaughter Now they are all up, and it seems that the old woman has to get along with the family in the future, so that she can also pull her own family.
"Uncle Wang, don't praise these boys, the two of them are just messing around around." Wang Daniu was naturally happy when he saw the other party praising his son and nephew, but he still knew how to be humble.
"Xiaohu, 45 pounds of cowpeas, 120 pounds of Chinese cabbage, 35 pounds of mustard greens." Wang Dachuan sorted out the dishes, and at the same time told his younger brother the amount of each dish.
"45 catties of cowpeas, three cents per catty, a total of 135 cents, 120 pounds of Chinese cabbage per catty of a penny is a total of 120 cents, 35 catties of mustard greens per catty is a total of 35 cents, and the three vegetables together are a total of 290 cents, Grandpa Wang, look at my calculations, right? If there's anything inappropriate, give me a reminder. Wang Xiaohu counted in the book, and at the same time quickly calculated the total price, Liu Yuxin told him that they have a ninety-nine multiplication table, and they are familiar with such the simplest addition and subtraction.
"Da Niu, your little nephew is really capable, you look at the fast side of the exposure technique, the unit price has been issued, this baby is the prodigy of our village! Your old Wang family is blessed, and you may have to rely on the baby in the future. The old man smiled and smoked the dry cigarette on his waist, and the smoke in front of him was so thick that it was impossible to see the meaning of the touch in his eyes.
"Third brother, it seems that this time you have no problem learning, you are right." Wang Xiaochuan sorted out the collection style in his village, and at the same time, he silently recorded in his heart that his third brother was really fast, but he was not bad.
"Brother Zhuzi, your family is really fast! Brother Hammer gave me notice this morning, I thought I was moving very fast, I didn't expect you to be more active than me, you sold a lot today! At this time, there was another section at the gate of the courtyard to come in, only to see the man's face full of wind and frost, you see that the other party has sold vegetables and has won money, and his face is also smiling, it seems that today's old Wang family is talking is true, there is no meaning of Kuangren.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you are also here, your family's harvest this year is also very good, look at your burden must be one hundred and seventy or eighty catties. In previous years, most of our vegetables had to rot to the ground, but this year, thanks to the blessing of the old king, we can exchange these dishes for some silver. The old man who sold vegetables at the beginning saw that his money had been received at this moment, and his face was even more smiling like an old chrysanthemum.
Liu Yuxin was eating her millet porridge next to her, and the corners of her mouth twitched when she heard this little fish brother, this little fish is really everywhere!
"Brother Xiao, you sell your vegetables slowly, brother, I'll take the lead, the children in the family are still picking vegetables, I have to go and tell them, let them pick those vegetables." This pillar brother understands in his heart that he usually sells some of his surplus vegetables to the market, and these vegetables are very fresh when he gets up in the morning, but he can't stay overnight and has to deal with these vegetables in a hurry today. If you save it for tomorrow, these dishes will be buried.
