Although He Hongshan complained about Guo Baochuan's mother in his heart, he didn't want to say anything in front of Guo Baochuan.

Qinglian knew that his father had not had a good year, and he always remembered how his mother had spent this year, whether he could eat and drink well, and he always wanted his daughter to go and see her.

Qinglian said: "Don't worry, Dad, how can I not go to see my mother when I go into the city." But don't worry about her, she eats and drinks better in the city than us, Guo Baochuan's father is an official, and when he arrives at the New Year's gift-giving queue, his father and son are very kind to my mother, and I can't lose my mother. ”

He Hongshan smiled bitterly, then stumbled and said: "I know that she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in the county, and I don't worry about the main family treating her badly, I just want to think that she has been gone for a few months, and I don't want your sisters to ......."

Qinglian's heart also hurt: Yes, my mother has been away from home for a few months, alone, except for her often seeing her, she has never seen her three younger sisters, does she want to have a few sisters in her heart?

She understands her father's thoughts, in addition to feeling sorry for Wang Xiuli and wanting to have a child's heartache, he is also worried that the three little girls are becoming more and more estranged from her, especially Xiao Lianlian, who has completely forgotten her. As soon as anyone asked her if she missed her mother, she replied crisply: I don't want to.

And when asked if she still remembered her mother, she stared at the big eyes of the water and looked confused. She really doesn't remember her.

Qinglian comforted her father: "Didn't my mother say, when I have the opportunity, let me take a few younger sisters to the county to play." ”

He Hongshan said: "Don't wait for the opportunity, let her arrange a day as soon as possible, your sister won't pay attention to her if she doesn't see her again." Alas! ”

Qinglian nodded.

This year, the weather was warm early, and before the fifteenth, the earth began to thaw, so Li Yifei hurriedly found the construction team in the village to start preparing for the construction of the martial arts hall, and naturally he didn't care about helping Qinglian sell garlic.

On the day of the garlic harvest, He Hongshan found five mule carts. On the afternoon of the first day, Qinglian invited several laborers in the village, naturally there were small five, everyone cut and cut, bundled and bundled, and prepared five mule carts of garlic.

At night, He Hongshan was afraid that something would happen to the garlic, so he slept in the greenhouse with a bed.

The next day, Qinglian beckoned the five mule drivers to load the bundled garlic, called Xiao Wu, and set off with the car.

Later, Meiling and her second sister drove their own donkey cart to pull a cart of garlic, and the Qingjun and the Red Army drove his mule cart to pull a cart of garlic, and rushed towards the county seat.

Because of 7 carts of garlic in a row, it naturally can't be sold in one place.

When they arrived next to the farmers' market, Qinglian arranged for them to let Qingjun and Meiling go to the other end of the market to sell. His 5 cars of garlic can't be separated, she and Xiao Wu have to sell them one by one.

They were about to leave, when suddenly two well-dressed men ran towards them. When he saw Qinglian, he said excitedly: "Oh, little girl who sells garlic, you are here, we have been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Qinglian thought that they were going to charge a management fee, so she quickly told Guo Baochuan's uncle. They shook their hands again and again and said, "You misunderstood, you misunderstood, we don't charge management fees, we are a vegetable company." ”

The man said and handed Qinglian a business card, the business card of this era is very simple, it is a white piece of paper printed with black letters. The business card reads the title of the business manager of the Dongming County Vegetable Company.

Vegetable company? It's kind of interesting.

Qinglian looked at them inquiringly, and the thin young man said, "That's the case, I'll tell you straight, little girl, we want to wholesale your garlic." ”

Qinglian's heart lit up, I was worried about so many garlic car-by-car pulls, and it is inconvenient to sell one-car-by-car, you are really timely rain.

But she deliberately refused them coldly, saying: "Our garlic can be sold by itself, not wholesale." ”

The two of them were in a hurry, came over and grabbed the handlebars of a mule cart, and said anxiously: "Little girl, don't refuse directly, let's talk, the price is easy to say, hehe." ”

Qinglian asked in a reluctant tone, "Then what price can you give?" ”

The man asked cautiously, "Hey little girl, I want to ask you how much garlic you still have?" ”

Qinglian said: "I have two acres of garlic at home, this is the first stubble, these five cars only cut about five points of land, and I still have a lot of garlic at home, all of which are planted with garlic." ”

The two of them were thrilled and asked, "What price do you want?" ”

Qinglian thought for a while and said: "You naturally know better than me, my garlic is unique in the market, and the popularity is needless to say, the price I sell has caught up with the meat." In this case, you tell me your price, and I will wholesale it to you, and if it doesn't, I will quickly go to the market and sell it. ”

The two of them stretched out their hands to stop Meng Luzhu and said sincerely: "Little girl, what do you think of us giving 5 cents a catty?" At this price, our margins are thin enough. ”

Qinglian listened to it and secretly enjoyed it in her heart, this price is indeed very fragrant! But wait, she'll have to nag again.

She made a little unmoved and said: "Two big brothers, the price you offer really can't attract me, but seeing that you are so sincere, and I am also willing to cooperate with the vegetable company, let's talk about the specific content." ”

The two looked at each other excitedly, and the business manager took out a contract and said, "Yes, yes, we have to talk about the content of the cooperation carefully." ”

Qinglian picked up the contract and looked at it and said, "Manager Zhang, add a few words to it, you have to go to my greenhouse to pull garlic by yourself." ”

The business manager glanced at his colleague, looked at Qinglian and said, "This, it's inconvenient for us to pull it, right?" It's better for you to send it to our company yourself. ”

Qinglian said her difficulties: "Manager Zhang, it's not that I'm not convenient, it's that it's really inconvenient for us to use a mule cart to send here, and I don't have a mule cart at home, these five mule carts are all rented by me, and I want to send you all the garlic and yellow of two acres of land, how many cars do I have to rent?" The expense is very large. ”

The business manager thought about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's send a car to your field to pull it." ”

Qinglian signed happily, and then everyone was happy, and the seven carts of garlic were sent to the vegetable company, and the Qingjun brothers and Meiling sisters, who got the garlic money for the first time, were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and they touched and touched the stack of 10 denomination bills.

A group of seven mule carts out of the gate of the vegetable company, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, everyone was still hungry, Qinglian waved her hand proudly and said: "I'm in for a treat, go to the restaurant for dinner!" ”

"Oh!" Everyone cheered together.

Who has ever been in a restaurant in the county, can you not be excited?

Qinglian is happy, it can be regarded as a celebration of the cooperation of vegetable companies, she arranged this meal very richly, not only meat but also wine. After the pots of meat and soup came up, she raised her wine glass to the owner of the five mule carts, saying that everyone helped him pull the garlic to the county seat on such a cold day, and she was hungry to this time, she was very grateful to everyone, so she made a glass first. Then let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content.

There is wine and meat, and it is rare to see a meaty villager who does not eat and drink to his heart's content.

Qinglian found that the two Meiling sisters couldn't eat after eating two bites, she knew that they remembered their sister at home, and she couldn't bear to eat it herself.

She just wanted to tell Meiling that she should eat and bring some meat back to the house when she left, but Meiling stood up and walked towards the back kitchen.

Qinglian followed, and when she heard Meiling ask the boss to stew another chicken, she took it back, and took out the money to the boss.

Qinglian smiled and said, "Meiling, so generous." ”

Meiling smiled shyly, patted her pocket and said, "Aren't you making money?" ”

Qinglian put her arms around her neck and said, "Well, you have to be able to spend money if you can earn money, so that money will come alive." ”

The two of them laughed and walked to the dinner table, Meiling suddenly whispered: "Qinglian, you often come to the county seat, do you know where the county sells wool?" ”

Qinglian was going to see Wang Xiuli in a while, and she was going to pass by the county department store, and when she heard this, she said: "I know, the department store has everything, and I will take you there in a while." ”

Meiling smiled and nodded.

Everyone was full of wine and food, so Qinglian asked them all to go back first, and she and the Meiling sisters went to the city for a walk.

Qingjun knew that Qinglian was in trouble, so he told her not to go back too late, and drove the mule cart to lead everyone back.

Qinglian and Meiling's second sister Shuling sat on the donkey cart that Meiling was driving and walked towards the county seat.

Qinglian knew that Guo Baochuan's mother had many problems, and people in the city didn't like people from the countryside to come to the door, so Qinglian led the Meiling sisters to the department store, and she went to Guo Baochuan's house to see Wang Xiuli.
