Ai Mu carefully took a few apples, and then walked back with a song in her mouth.

I hadn't taken two steps when I suddenly heard a muttering sound from upstairs.

"Ouch, you're missing a good show, the guy surnamed Ai is proud today, holding an apple and eating it while walking."

"I want to vomit when I see her like that, and I really think that eating such an apple on the nail cover is a rich person, as if no one in this courtyard can eat it."

"Speaking of which, the old woman in her family came to make trouble again during the Chinese New Year, right? Tut-tut, it's just her soft bones that can stand it, it was my words that would have blasted people out a long time ago. ”

"It's like this, it's just that she's in a hurry to get married, that's right, it's good that someone is willing to marry her poor and sour look, hahaha."

The people above talked lively, and Ai Mu listened to it, and she was about to make trouble with people when she went upstairs quickly.

But before she could go up, she heard the voice of her third daughter, Amy.

"I also said why there were so many crows suddenly outside today and screaming, it turned out to be a few aunts."

"Hey, you can't speak, who's the crow?"

Amy smiled, "Of course whoever was here just now is the one who is chirping, oh, and ah, I just heard my aunt talking about apples or something." ”

"After living in the same building with my aunt for so many years, I now know that my aunt's family can often eat such good things."

"Auntie is really amazing, I must go to my aunt's house for the New Year this year, and by the way, taste whether the fruit of my aunt's house is sweeter than ours."

The fat aunt on the opposite side was white-faced by Amy, and spat at her through gritted teeth.

"Bah, do you really think your family is so capable, and you still want to come to my house to eat fruit."

"Who doesn't know about your family? I think the apple was sold to your eldest sister, right? ”

"This kind of thing that even your own daughters can bear to sell for a bite to eat, and you countrymen can only do it."

The fat aunt's words caused the other two to laugh, and they looked at Amy like a rat in a garbage dump, except for disgust and disgust.

And it was also at this time that Amy knew what kind of day Ai Mu lived every day and how much anger she had to endure when she was not at home.

Suddenly, she suddenly understood the mother who was almost knocking on the door and calculating the gains and losses.

Because only by counting, only by desperately saving, can this big family survive.

The people living in this tube building are all the workers of the factory, and these workers are secretly divided into three circles.

The lowest circle is Amy's family, who was originally from the countryside, but through hard work to come to the city to work, he successfully ate public food.

The second is the native Jiangcheng people, and the highest level is the director of the factory.

In these years, once a female employee passes on her position to her children, she cannot go out to work, so she can only be an honest housewife at home.

After being a housewife for a long time, I usually like to gossip together.

Among them, Amy's family will always be the object of their sarcasm and ridicule.

"Auntie, it turns out that your family needs to sell their daughter to eat a bite of fresh fruit, no wonder you are so angry now."

"I'm really embarrassed, our family doesn't know that we have to sell our daughters to eat apples, so my mother didn't think about it so much, it hurt your feelings, I apologize to you for my mother."

Scolding Amy is that she can't scold three aunts who are like long-tongued women all day long, so she can only "reason" with them.

Not only that, but after saying those words, she deliberately lowered her head and smiled.

"I'm young and can't speak, my aunts are all elders, if I say something wrong, please don't take it to heart."

"By the way, my mother said that I rarely go home once, so I have to fry meat to eat at night, and I have to rush to the supply and marketing cooperatives to see if there are potatoes for sale, so I won't tell a few aunts, I'll see you later."

After saying that, Amy didn't care what those people were angry about, and slipped on the soles of their feet with oil, so that they could block their hearts in one breath, and they would be uncomfortable.

But she didn't expect to turn a corner and see Ai Mu standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Her face changed, and she was a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, what's that, I have something to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives this time, so I'll go first."

Amy didn't say anything until Amy walked up to her and suddenly asked, "When are you going back?" ”

"If it's fast, it's tomorrow, and if it's slow, it's estimated that it will be a few days."

Amy watched as she said it, but she didn't reply, so Amy walked away from her and prepared to go downstairs.

Just as Amy was about to turn the corner and leave, Amy said quickly, "Remember to come back early in the evening." ”

In Amy's memory, this mother never cared about her, and she was always beaten and scolded.

Therefore, she was stunned for a long time, and when she reacted to what Ai Mu said, the person had already gone away.

She looked down and smiled softly, feeling better and better.

When Amy returned to the guest house, Mingke was already resting.

But in these days, unmarried men and women are not allowed to be in the same room, and if it is spread out, it will be said that they have broken shoes.

So after Amy shouted Mingke below, Mingke directly carried a bag of hazelnut mushrooms out.

"I went to ask the people nearby just now, and they said that as long as the things are good, the supply and marketing cooperatives in Jiangcheng will accept them."

"Didn't it give you a good rest?"

Amy muttered something quietly, then gestured to the burlap pocket on his shoulder.

"Shall we take a bag first this time?"

Mingke nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and show them the goods first, and if I accept them, I'll see if I can ask them for something to pack, and then push the rest over at once." ”

The dried hazelnut mushrooms are not heavy, but because I came here this time to bring all the hazelnut mushrooms collected in Mao'er Village, there are several bags.

Mingke didn't want Amy to carry this thing, so he thought of such a way.

As soon as Amy thought about it, she didn't refute it, and the two went to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative.

Because I know that the larger the supply and marketing cooperative, the higher the probability of receipt, so this time I chose the second largest supply and marketing cooperative in Jiangcheng.

As for the first one, it was too far away, so I didn't go.

The little sister of the big supply and marketing cooperatives has a very good attitude, and as soon as they see that they are carrying things, they immediately ask people to help.

"Hello comrade, we are from Mao'er Village, and this is the hazel mushroom from our village."

Amy said as she showed the village party secretary's certificate to Xiaomei, lest people suspect that she was buying and selling, after all, there was no such mushroom in Jiangcheng.

The little sister carefully looked at the proof and made sure that there was no problem, before opening her pocket and taking out a handful of hazelnut mushrooms to check the color.

Hazelnut mushrooms are already fragrant, and when you open the bag and smell it, it makes people swallow.

The little sister smelled this and nodded with satisfaction, "You guys are good, and you haven't broken it when you look at it." ”

After checking it out, she immediately nodded and said she was willing to accept it, and immediately paid the money and ticket according to the prescribed price.

"Comrade, that's the case, our Mao'er Village is quite far from here, and I came here to bring several bags, do you think you can collect them together here?"

The little sister looked at them in embarrassment and said, "Your hazelnut mushrooms are indeed very good, but we also collect a little once in a while, and we are afraid that we will not be able to sell them if we have more." ”

"Unless you sell this hazelnut mushroom well, I can't take that much at once."

Hazel mushrooms are different from eggs and rice, they are not something that every household has to eat, so they are not so easy to sell.

"Sister, you are accommodating, we are not familiar with the place, so I saw that you are good-looking, and thought that you must be a kind-hearted person, so I came here."

Although there are other supply and marketing cooperatives to go to, the one that is bigger than this one has long been ruled out by Amy.

The other ones that are smaller than here may not be accepted, and she doesn't want to waste time running one trip at a time.

After all, she didn't really come out to sell any hazelnut mushrooms.

The little girl in front of the counter is not very old, and her face is red when Amy praises her like this.

"Well, you'll come back in two hours. There will be a lot of people coming to the supply and marketing cooperatives before dinner, and if your hazelnut mushrooms sell well, how about I take the rest of your food? ”

Amy happily took her hand and shoved two candies into her hand while the others were not looking.

"I knew that such a good-looking sister of yours must have a good heart, so I'm really bothering you."

Xiaomei felt the things in her hand, although she could work here and of course there was nothing missing at home, but her heart was warm all of a sudden, and she felt that she was not helping the wrong person.

With these two pieces of candy, Amy and the others didn't go far from the supply and marketing cooperative, when they saw the people inside writing the words "Hazel Mushroom Arrival" on the small sign at the door.

"Well, I'm still smart, right?"

Amy glanced at Mingke smugly.

Mingke chuckled under his breath.

"Yes, you're amazing. If it weren't for you, we hazelnut mushrooms might have to look for somewhere else, and even if the salesman had promised to help us, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to put them out so quickly. ”

He has experienced many changes, and he knows better how people are warm and cold.

People have no obligation and responsibility to help them, and they are willing to help the little sister with a good heart, and the two candies that Amy gave.

It's not sugar that's expensive, it's heart.

Being praised by him like this made Amy even happier.

"Anyway, there is still time now, let's go for a good shopping and inquire about the news of fertilizer by the way."

After the decision was made, the two began to wander around Jiangcheng, and along the way, Amy saw many things that could only be seen in history books before, and bought two hair ropes for the eldest sister and Ai's mother.

At the beginning, because of the hazel mushroom matter, the two of them were in a good mood and were very confident.

But as time passed, they found that no matter where they went, the salesperson's answer was the same.

"You're late, the fertilizer has long been sold out."

In the end, there was no way, Amy said to Mingke: "It's too inefficient for the two of us to act together, so you go over there and I'll ask again here, and meet at the supply and marketing agency that sells hazel mushrooms in half an hour." ”
