Early the next morning.

"Sister-in-law, you seem to be a little different today." As soon as Zhang Xiaoru saw her, she tilted her head, looked her up and down, and said with some doubts.

"I even wore yesterday's clothes, you must have seen it wrong, it's no different. Uncle Fugen is waiting for me outside, I'm leaving. Don't be too tired to make clothes today, rest more......" Chen Xiangqin smiled and patted her shoulder, and walked out briskly.

"It's just different." Zhang Xiaoru stood there for a long time, finally figured it out, and patted her head, "Ah! It's because my sister-in-law seems to be smiling happily today......"

When she arrived in the town, Chen Xiangqin got down from the ox cart, jumped happily, and waved her hand at Uncle Fugen with a smile.

"Uncle, the quilt is very warm, thank you for pulling. We'll see you in the evening, I'm leaving. Oh yes, it's a bit of jerky, you take it back and eat it. Good bye. ”

With that, Chen Xiangqin turned around and walked quickly into the courtyard gate, and shouted with a smile, "Fourth aunt, I'm here, has grandpa gotten up?!" ”

Uncle Fugen carried the jerky, looked at her back, and muttered a little puzzled, "Such a steady Xiangqin, how can she look like a little girl today, as if she is about to jump up when she walks......"

-

"Oh, Xiangqin, what's wrong with you? Look at the one who makes you happy, and I have never closed my mouth since I came. Chen Xiaolan poked her arm and said a little unbearable, "Isn't it crazy?" ”

"Is there one?" Chen Xiangqin touched the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed, pursed her lips and wanted to suppress it, but in the end she said with a smile, "Brother Yi wrote from yesterday, saying that he became the platoon leader." ”

"Oops! That's a good thing. Chen Xiaolan smiled and clapped her hands, and said to Grandpa Chen, "Dad, you still see the right person and find a good family for Xiangqin." Your grandson-in-law, how capable you are, you've only been a soldier for a few years, and you've become a platoon commander. ”

Grandpa Chen also laughed, his face was happy, and when he had breakfast, he drank half a bowl of soup more than usual, and Chen Xiaolan, who watched it, smiled and said that her father was eccentric, so she knew that she loved her grandson-in-law.

After eating, Grandpa Chen was wearing thick clothes and basking in the sun in the yard, Chen Xiangqin also took out the fabric he brought and began to get busy.

"Xiangqin, you're really capable." Chen Xiaolan sat next to her and looked at her with some envy, "You said that it would be great if I gave birth to a girl, and I could let her learn how to make clothes with you." It's a pity that I gave birth to two stinky boys, I can't do anything, and I can't study, but I'm so worried! ”

"Fourth aunt, it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, I have an idea of making money, do you want to do it?" Chen Xiangqin stopped the scissors, turned her head, and asked her with sparkling eyes.

Some time ago, she was in a bad mood and didn't want to do anything, but now that she's happy, she wants to toss.

Although it is to take care of grandpa, Grandpa Chen doesn't need them to sit in the yard or house, and he goes to bed early at night, so he has a lot of free time this day.

Do a little business and get busy, so that grandpa can see it in his eyes and know that his children can make money, have no worries about food and clothing, and get better and better, he will also feel happy and hopeful.

This person has hope, and he wants to live strongly.

"What do you think, of course I want to do it. However, if you want me to make clothes, I am clumsy and impatient, so I can't do it. ”

Of course, Chen Xiaolan also wants to make money, the family's financial source is the 20 yuan that her husband earns in the factory every month, where is there enough for the family's expenses, especially when the children are older, they spend more.

This time, Grandpa Chen came to live, thanks to the more than 200 yuan given by Chen Xiangqin, who usually came, and also bought vegetables and things, so that she almost didn't have to spend money, so that although there were two more people eating at home, but the food was good, the conditions were a lot more relaxed, and her husband couldn't say anything disgusting, which made her feel a lot more relieved.

And all this is because of Chen Xiangqin, Chen Xiaolan is very grateful to her.

"Make some snacks and sell them at the market, what do you think of the jerky I brought over this morning?" We can sell that, it's almost the New Year, and everyone is willing to buy meat to eat. There are some other snacks, Fourth Aunt, your cooking skills are very good, we can always sell for money if we make more tinkering. ”

"Your jerky is delicious. Xiaojun and Xiaofeng's two children couldn't stop eating, and they were about to leave for school, and they wanted me to take them with them. Chen Xiaolan praised with a smile, but when it came to making things to sell, she was a little hesitant, "Let's do it, what if no one buys it?" ”

"No one buys it, so let's eat it ourselves." Chen Xiangqin smiled and comforted her, "You can do less first, I'll go out and buy five catties of meat, and I'll teach you how to make it when I come back, we can also go to a dinner market and sell it when everyone comes to buy vegetables and cook dinner, what do you think?" ”

"Okay. That's it. Chen Xiaolan thought for a while, patted her thigh and stood up, "I'll buy meat, I can't let you come for everything, you look at your grandfather." I'll be right back. ”

-

After buying back the meat, Chen Xiangqin stopped cutting the fabric, helped the fourth aunt cut all the meat into strips, and told her how to marinate and season. After lunch, she began to pour oil into the pot and began to fry the meat in it, and soon the fragrance came out.

"Oops, my saliva is going to flow when I smell this fragrance." Chen Xiaolan boiled the pot, snorted, and said with a smile, "If I have money, I will definitely buy it and try it." ”

"Fourth aunt, let's sell this jerky for two yuan and five pounds. You don't have to sell it too cheaply, our oil, all kinds of spices can cost a lot of money. Chen Xiangqin said while frying the jerky.

"Isn't two dollars five too expensive? This meat is only two pounds a piece, and in this way, I am usually reluctant to buy it. When Chen Xiaolan heard this, she immediately became worried.

"Sell it at this price first. No one really buys it, let's reduce the price again. Chen Xiangqin is very confident that she can sell it, although many people are poor now, but there are many people who don't care about these two and a half yuan.

Through selling clothes during this period of time, she has fully understood that at this time, her own poverty does not mean that others are also poor.

There is no shortage of rich people at any given time.

-

It's winter now, and it's getting dark early, so seeing that it's going to be four o'clock, Chen Xiangqin began to urge Chen Xiaolan to go out, and advised, "Fourth aunt, go quickly." I remember someone came over and asked how much it was, don't hesitate to take two dollars and five, this small bowl is for others to taste for free......"

"Or do you go and sell, I'm watching your grandfather at home?" Chen Xiaolan had never sold anything, she felt a little weak and unconfident, and looked at Chen Xiangqin hesitantly.

"It's fine. Fourth aunt, you just go boldly, it's a big deal that you can't sell it and bring it back to eat for yourself, and it's only a few dollars of meat. What are you worried about. Chen Xiangqin smiled and pushed her outside, and quipped, "The eldest girl gets on the sedan chair, there is always the first time." Don't be shy, don't be afraid. ”

"Hey! It's also buried your fourth aunt. Chen Xiaolan smiled and slapped her lightly, straightened her back, carried the basket and scales, and finally went out.
