Bai Jinyan didn't hesitate to chase after his girlfriend, Su Xue hesitated, looked at Bai Jinyan's back, and then looked at Gao Tang beside him, and chose to stay where he was.

"Senior Gao, what's wrong with Senior Sister Chen? Is she mad at me? ”

Gao Tang raised his eyebrows: "Why do you think she's angry with you?" ”

Su Xue whispered: "Because ...... Did I just say the wrong thing......"

Gao Tang only smiled and ignored her, Su Xue waited for a while and didn't hear a reply, but seeing that Gao Tang didn't seem to have any other reaction except for that smile that had not changed for thousands of years, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while.

"Senior, are we going to find Senior Bai and them?"

Gao Tang smiled: "Let me tell you a little trick, it's best to stay where you are when you are separated from your companion and don't move, maybe your companion will come back by himself after a while." ”

Gao Tang's words were right, and after a few minutes, Chen Ruowen and Bai Jinyan returned to the booth where they were standing together, obviously after the quarrel, it was obvious that they were almost reconciled. Chen Ruowen's face was a little stinky, and Bai Jinyan was still coaxing her with a good temper.

"Coming back?" Gao Tang raised his eyebrows.

Bai Jinyan nodded, hugged Chen Ruowen and squatted down by the stall where the beads were sold.

"Mother-in-law, we want to knit a few bracelets for our colleagues to make souvenirs, probably ...... Forty or fifty people, how much do we need to buy? ”

The old woman seemed to be taken aback by such a big deal.

Although the beads she grinds at home are big and round, and the color is good, there are very few people who buy raw materials to make bracelets by themselves, and they will earn twenty or thirty yuan of vegetable money every day when they come out to set up a stall, and they will sell a little more on holidays, and no one has ever bought forty or fifty people's weight in one go.

The old woman hurriedly folded her fingers and calculated: "It depends on the thickness of the wrist, ten, sixteen to twenty per person, it is different." ”

Bai Jinyan thought for a while: "Then count according to the most, a bracelet has twenty beads, fifty people is a thousand, five hundred, how many ropes do you use?" Is 100 sticks enough? That's five hundred and twenty bucks in total, right? ”

The old woman counted for at least ten minutes before nodding excitedly and panickedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, but I don't have so many things here......" Afraid that Bai would repent, the old woman hurriedly said, "I'll go home and get it immediately, wait a while, wait a while!" ”

As she spoke, she was about to clean up the stall, but Bai Jinyan stopped her with a smile again.

"That's it, mother-in-law, you leave us an address, I paid the deposit first, and I will go to your house tomorrow to get something, can you see it?"

"Yes, of course." The old woman nodded hurriedly, and then gave an address with a little stumbling.

Bai Jinyan confirmed with her three times, and after making sure that it was correct, he was ready to pay the deposit, but he heard Chen Ruowen's cold voice again.

"Do you know how to string bracelets?"

"I ...... It can be learned. ”

"Do you have a time string?"

"I ......" Bai Jinyan was just about to say yes, but Chen Ruowen glared at him angrily, and twisted it on his waist, Bai Jinyan suddenly blessed his soul. Also, it seems that there is not enough time. Old woman, we are usually busy with work, and we may not have enough time, can you help us string this bracelet? A total of fifty, raw materials plus labor costs, I will calculate it for you according to 20 yuan, do you think it is okay? ”

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said happily: "No, no, I'll help you string it up, and I won't charge money." ”

"That's not good, it's a waste of your time, and we should pay for the labor, so it's fair. And there are many of us, and everyone's wrist thickness is different, so it's very troublesome to weave such a bracelet, so why are you embarrassed to do it in vain? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I have several patterns, all of which can be adjusted in length, and I can make them up quickly."

The two discussed for a while, the buyer wanted to increase the price, but the seller wanted to reduce the price, and it took a long time to finally set the transaction price. Bai Jinyan paid a deposit of 200 yuan, made an appointment with the old woman to pick up the goods next Saturday, and bought an extra pair of materials, saying that he would make one for his girlfriend by himself.

After the transaction, the old woman carefully put the two hundred yuan in the purse sewn in the lining of her clothes, and did not dare to stay in the night market, so she cleaned up the stall and left.

Chen Ruowen and his entourage continued to go shopping, and Bai Jinyan was trying to find a way to please his girlfriend all the way.

He was ready to donate money when someone was begging, but what Chen Ruowen said reminded him.

Seventy or eighty-year-old women still know how to make money by manual labor, so why should their compassion be given to a middle-aged woman with sound limbs?

When Su Xue bought a bracelet, she could bargain with others for ten minutes for five cents, but she could donate nine yuan and five to the beggar without hesitation. What did the old woman who set up the stall think when she saw that the beggar could earn it without much effort, and that she had to work for several days to earn money by hand?

Is this kindness really kindness?

Is it fair to people who are serious about begging for life?

It's so easy to get money by begging, so don't work anymore and go begging.

Bai Jinyan actually understands this truth, and even when he donated money to Rainbow Village, he taught Chen Ruowen that "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them", but it cannot be denied that when facing a single beggar in the real world, this truth is easy to be forgotten.

When it came to the appointed time, Bai Jinyan and Chen Ruowen went to the address left by the old woman together, the location was not biased, in a science and technology park with some age on the edge of the second ring road, a shed was built on the edge of the lawn with unknown materials.

When Chen Ruowen and the others arrived, the two old men were tying waste paper boxes on the edge of the lawn, and after seeing Chen Ruowen, they hurriedly asked them to wait for a while, then went back to wash their hands and took out the fifty bracelets that had been packed.

The strings are extremely delicate, and there is a knot at the head of the bracelet that can be adjusted in length, which looks quite like that.

"In fact, your craftsmanship is so good, you can sell finished bracelets, so that your income can also be increased." Bai Jinyan suggested.

The old woman and her husband looked at each other, but they both shook their heads: "There are few people who buy these few cents, and if it is a dozen yuan a piece, it will be even more difficult to sell, right?" ”

Bai Jinyan said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, if the finished product is good-looking, there are many people who are willing to buy it." You can try a few braided bracelets with you every time you go out to the stall, and if someone buys them, it will also be an extra income. ”

On the way back, Chen Ruowen also saw them pick up two mineral water bottles on the side of the road, unscrew the caps and pour out the water inside, and then flattened the bottles, and supported each other back to the crooked shack.

Life in the world is not easy in its own way.
