There are not many people in the sheep market, and they sell more and buy less.

Families with sheep want to sell a sheep to take care of the wheat, and people do not plan to buy sheep at this time in order to raise the wheat. That's why this happens.

Hao Lanxin is glad that she came to the right place today. So he looked for it in the sheep market.

Soon, a lively little female goat came into her sight. Hurry up, and after some bargaining, five yuan is sold.

There are cotton cloths, toilet paper and popsicles in the basket, and baby goats are not allowed to be put in it. Hao Lanxin had no choice but to tie a rope to the little goat, hold it for a while, hold it for a while, and walk back step by step.

A patch of reed grass caught Hao Lanxin's attention.

Needless to say, if you have sheep, you have to prepare grass.

However, this period was not like Tian Qingqing's previous life and modern times, with grass everywhere. Because the cattle feed on the production teams in each village is insufficient, they rely on grass to fill their stomachs in spring and summer. Some auxiliary laborers on the production team, minors over the age of 10 and under the age of 16 who have dropped out of school and are at home all carry straw baskets on their backs to pull weeds, and when they return, they hand them over to the production team and record their work according to the pound.

Because this "army" of weeding pulling is very large, it can cover the whole field. Whether it is in the fields, fields, cemeteries, woods, ravines, and banks of canals, there are weed-pullers everywhere. The grass on the side of the road is the first to bear the brunt. was also piggybacked. Therefore, it is not easy to pull grass on the road.

God rewards hard work. There happened to be a piece of fresh reed grass that Hao Lanxin saw, how could it not be carryed?!

Hao Lanxin hurriedly tied the little lamb to a small tree by the side of the road, picked up the sickle she had just bought, and cut the tender reeds and grass in a big hug. Put it in the basket, then untie the baby goat and start walking back again.

Writing this, the children's shoe girls probably know why Hao Lanxin went to the market with a straw basket on her back!

Nowadays, if there are still people carrying straw baskets to the market, they will definitely laugh and be generous, in fact, it was very common in that era. In order to find some wild vegetables, pull grass, and collect some firewood on the road, industrious farmers often carry straw baskets on their backs to catch the market. Whatever you buy and pick up, you can put it in it and carry it home.

Besides, Hao Lanxin led the little goat lamb with a straw basket on her back and entered the fence gate. shouted to the west wing: "Xiaoqiu, Xiaochun, Qingmiao, you all come." ”

Seeing that there were five children running out of "Hulala", Hao Lanxin was very glad in her heart that she had done the right thing: she bought an extra popsicle.

As soon as Tian Miaomiao saw Hao Lanxin, she ran over to "Mom" and "Mom" and raised her little arms to hug her.

The other four watched the lamb with a loud voice.

Tian Qingqing looked at the little lamb and thought to herself: No wonder my mother was so happy as soon as she entered the door today, it turned out that it was because a new member had been added to the family.

"The little sheep belongs to our family, don't worry about it first. Guess what delicious food Mom bought you for you? Hao Lanxin picked up Miao Miao and said to the four children beside her.

"Mom, what are you going to buy?" Tian Youqiu was the first to reflect.

"I won't tell you yet." Hao Lanxin rarely humorously sold a pass: "All stand up." Standing with your back to me, I shouted one, two, three, you turn back, but be careful not to smile your jaw down. ”

The four children heard this and quickly stood facing out. Looking forward to my mother (aunt) coming up with unexpected good things.

"Hey, why is it gone?"

Hao Lanxin's surprised voice came from behind him.

Tian Qingqing hurriedly turned around, only to see Hao Lanxin holding Tian Miaomiao with one hand and five bamboo sticks with the other, and opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Tian Qingqing felt strange and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Mom. ”

"Popsicle!" Hao Lanxin shook the five bamboo sticks in her hand and confirmed to the children: "I bought five popsicles at the fair, and the bags were tight, how could they be gone?" ”

When the other three children heard about the popsicle, they immediately turned around with a green glow in their eyes.

"Mom, are you misplaced?" Tian Youqiu reminded.

Hao Lanxin shook the small wooden stick in her hand at her eldest son: "No, the skewer is still in my hand!" ”

"Mom, the popsicle is melting." Tian Qingqing said with a smile: "A popsicle is a piece of ice, the weather is hot, and it will melt after a long time." ”

Hao Lanxin slapped her thigh: "How did I forget this stubble?!" Seeing that his youngest son Tian Youchun was still looking at him with longing eyes, he said self-deprecatingly: "Okay, my mother owes you today." Then I'll take you to the market and buy two for each of you. ”

After speaking, he hugged Tian Miaomiao and entered the west wing.

Tian Qingqing's heart was sour.

Popsicles dissolve quickly at room temperature.

The mother, who is in dire straits, doesn't even know this bit of common sense. Baba, who bought it from the market, drew out the children's gluttony, and embarrassed herself.

Thinking of saving money yesterday, she feels that there is a long way to go to make her parents live comfortably and happily in this world!

"Mom, let's buy some eggs."

After eating lunch, Tian Qingqing snuggled up to Hao Lanxin, who was feeding Tian Miaomiao, and whispered.

Hao Lanxin was stunned for a moment: Yes, cutting wheat is labor-intensive, so you have to prepare some hard food to prevent hunger. In the past, the old woman still gave each person a boiled egg a day for the first two days. Now that my life is better, I don't have to cook by myself, how can I forget this stubble?

"I just thought that you had prepared the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and I didn't think about it here. That's it, Qingqing, I'll give you three dollars, and when you go to sweep the noodle bags, buy them from the city. ”

"Mom, I don't want to spend our money. Dad said that the money saved would be used to build a house in the future. You paid back 50 yuan to your grandmother, you must not have much money in your hand. ”

"Mom still has a dozen dollars in her hand." Hao Lanxin turned her head to look at her eldest daughter and said with a smile: "It doesn't cost us money to buy eggs, who will spend it?" ”

"I want to earn eggs for our family."

"How do you make money?"

Tian Qingqing got up, lay on Hao Lanxin's body, and said mysteriously: "Mom, I heard that the chicken plague has caused the eggs in the black market in the city to be expensive, and an egg is sold for five to six cents. The original price is still on the consignment point, and one is only a little more than a quarter. I want to collect everyone for five cents, and then take it to the city to sell, one earns five cents or one cent, ten can earn five cents or a dime, if it is sold for one hundred or two hundred, won't our eggs be earned?! ”

This time, Hao Lanxin firmly disagreed. The noodle bag is in front of the public, and the wholesale medicine is only for one person or one store, and it is Tian Qingqing who cuts it first and then plays, so that's it. Isn't it a joke that a seven-year-old girl with a toddler over a year old goes to the city alone to set up a stall to sell eggs? What should I do if I am fooled and beaten and abducted by the bad guys? When the time comes, it's too late to regret it, and you can't find a grave even if you cry.

Besides, the black market is not peaceful, and I don't know when I will be caught with the skull. If you are caught by a street clerk (short for the administrator of the industrial and commercial office), it will not be easy to do.

"Mom, don't look at me small, small has a small advantage. I'm a child, who's going to catch me, and when I collect the eggs, they don't have any proof. If I meet a kidnapper, I don't fool them, and I will be cheaper for them. ”

Hao Lanxin smiled "poof": "You are a little child, how can you be deceived by others?" Beaten or scolded?! ”

Tian Qingqing realized that he had said something wrong, and said with a smile: "Mom." Don't worry, I'll just be careful. ”

Hao Lanxin saw that Tian Qingqing's words were sincere, and even thought of her previous actions, knowing that her eldest daughter was indeed different. took a step back and said: "Qingqing, doing business outside is not like doing business at home, you are not familiar with life, something happens, and there is no one to take care of you." Otherwise, you go to Dongguan and tell your aunt that she will accompany you for a while, and then you will get acquainted with one person. ”

Tian Qingqing: "Mom, each family has its own business, let's do business, what's the matter with my aunt?" I've been running around the city for so long, and nothing has happened. Can't you believe it? ”

Hao Lanxin felt that what her eldest daughter said was the truth, so she didn't say anything more.

Tian Qingqing hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, it's about to pass the wheat, and the matter of selling eggs should not be delayed." When we work this afternoon, we can settle down the households that are willing to sell, and we will buy them after we get off work. ”

"Under what pretext? You can't say that you make money with other people's eggs, right? ”

During this period, individuals were not allowed to do business, and small traders and peddlers were said to be "speculative", so Hao Lanxin would have such thoughts. If it is left in modern times, it is normal.

"What are you afraid of. Isn't it true that people buy at the wholesale price and sell at the retail price to earn the wrong price in the middle? That's how it is for those who buy and sell. ”

"People use scales on the sales point, calculated by the pound. If people pick out the big ones and sell them to you the small ones, won't you lose money? ”

The outside was convinced, and Hao Lanxin was worried about the family again.

"No, Mom. Eggs on the black market are also sold, where are they bigger? Even if it's small, you can still earn five cents, won't you make a little less?! ”

Hao Lanxin was speechless for a long time.

His eldest daughter really fell into the eyes of money, and she always thinks about making money.

When there was a chicken plague, she wholesaled medicine to her home from outside and made a lot of money; Now it's time to pour the eggs out. Although the profit is not as big as selling medicine, it can make a little money.

It's just that her little body is suffering. One person goes back and forth and doesn't count, but also takes Xiao Miaomiao, even watching the children do business, and also carrying the rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar that manages the family.

"Qingqing, you have to watch the children again, sweep the noodle bags, and add eggs to sell, can you afford to eat? The wheat in our own field grows well, and when we harvest it, we will eat it. Why don't we go and sweep the noodle bags, okay? (To be continued) RO
