The autumn color was too many wooden barrels, and there were no flat poles, so they all left them in the teahouse, and only used a wooden tong to fill the watermelon and rushed home. She had to go to Ding Dafu to dig out a few haystacks for planting watermelons, and she had to prepare bamboo sticks, just like sugar gourds, but the Ding family lived in the town, and they had to go up the mountain to get these things, so they might not be able to sell watermelons tomorrow. "Sister Autumn Color!"

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and as soon as he looked up in the autumn color, he saw two figures at the mouth of the alley of the Ding family from a distance.

Autumn Colors put the barrel on the ground and asked him with a smile, "Didn't you just deliver wild fruits yesterday?" Why did you send it again today? ”

Gazi shook his head and smiled at the autumn color, "My father said that you helped my family a lot, and I specially thanked you." ”

"Your father? Isn't he hurt? Qiu Shi looked in the direction from which Gazi had come, and saw a thin man struggling to get something down from an ox cart on crutches.

Qiu Se hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, you should rest at home if you are not injured, why are you so polite?" ”

Ga Zi Daddy was a middle-aged man with a sad face, his face was dark yellow, his cheekbones were high, and his clothes looked empty on his body like a bamboo pole.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? I can't afford it. Autumn was startled, and he didn't fall again.

"Deserved, deserved." Ga Zi Dad is a person who is not good at words, he was a little excited, and only thanked him vigorously.

On the contrary, Gazi said on the side: "Sister Qiuse, our whole family can thank you, my father often said that if there is no you, our family will be scattered, and my mother also said that you are a good person, and there will be good rewards." ”

Daddy Gazi nodded, and spoke a lot more neatly, "Autumn color girl, thanks to you Gazi can help the family earn some money, I can take care of my body, today I specially prepared some things of my own house to thank the girl, how much is a heart." ”

Qiu Se was a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything, I only came up with an idea, and it was Gazi who really worked hard!" ”

It turned out that after Qiu Se found out that someone was following the trend, he knew that he couldn't make the business of canned sugar water a single one, so he simply didn't monopolize raw materials, so he asked Gazi to also provide wild fruits to Mrs. Ding and others, and gave him the idea to harvest wild fruits cheaper at home, and then take them out to sell the difference!

"Sister Qiuse's idea has made me a lot of money! And since I was beaten up for collecting wild fruits from the villagers, the attitude of the villagers towards my family has been much better! No, my father and I came to sell firewood, and some of them were willing to lend us ox carts! Gazi said busily.

Daddy Gazi also nodded vigorously, "That's it, the girl's idea saved my family!" Saying that, he bent down and lifted the cloth covered by the bamboo basket under his feet, and said: "A jar of pickled leek flowers in this basket was smashed by the child's mother herself, and thirty wild eggs were also picked up by Gazi when he went up the mountain to pick wild fruits, and the bag was mountain grapes. ”

"What's so embarrassing about that? Your family is not rich, so you should take it back! "Autumn color felt a little embarrassed, I just casually said an idea, where can I be such a serious person and give gifts.

"Where can I get all this stuff back? Sister Qiuse, let's put it away quickly. Gazi said and pushed the bamboo basket towards the autumn color.

Daddy Gazi rubbed his hands, his face was flushed, and he asked Qiu Se for a while, "Does the girl think this is light?" ”

"No, no." Qiu Se hurriedly waved his hand, "I just think it's not easy for you, I'm afraid you will be too expensive." ”

"Where's the money? The girl saved my family's life! Don't push back and forth, let Gazi help you get to the door. Gazi's father was afraid that the autumn color would shirk again, so he hurriedly ordered his son on the side.

Gazi answered, picked up the bamboo basket and walked into the alley, Qiushi shouted twice and didn't look back, she hurriedly said hello to Gazi's father, picked up the barrel and went to chase Gazi.

Qiuse ran a few steps to catch up with Gazi, and felt a little tired so he asked him, "Why did you and your father stop on the avenue?" ”

"Well, it's not good for us two men to stand in front of your house, and besides, the alley is too narrow, and the ox cart is not good to drive out." Gazi scratched his head and laughed.

"Oh." Qiu Se also understood, this was the last time he was scolded by Hong Xing, and since then, Gazi has been three meters away from the gate of Ding's house every time he sends fruit.

"Sister Autumn Color." Gazi said: "There have been many people entering the mountain recently, and the wild fruits in the mountain are almost gone, even if I keep it for you, I'm afraid it won't be long before I send it." ”

"Oh." Autumn color has long thought of it, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it seems that the canned sugar water business is about to come to an end! Fortunately, now she can make a fortune selling watermelons.

"Then do you think about what you want to sell if you don't sell wild fruits?" Autumn asked Gazi.

"Well, there is no land at home, I still have to go up the mountain, if I don't sell the fruit, I will chop firewood and sell it, and when my father's leg is good, I will chop firewood together, my mother will weave bamboo baskets, if there are any mushrooms and wild vegetables and the like, I will also pick and sell them together, there is always a way, Sister Qiuse doesn't have to worry about me." Gazi said and stopped, "Sister Qiuse, your house has arrived." As he spoke, he took off the bamboo basket on his shoulder and was about to leave.

"Hey, Gazi, your basket." Autumn Colors called him.

"No need, where else do I have at home!" Gazi shouted as he ran out of the alley.

Qiu Se looked at his back and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly chased after him, "Gazi, you wait." ”

Seeing that Qiu Se didn't catch up with Qiu Se, Gazi stood with confidence and asked, "Sister Qiu Se, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Gazi, why don't you stop chopping firewood first, and start selling watermelons to me for a few days tomorrow!" This is also what Qiu Se just thought, only relying on her and Ding Dafu are afraid that they will sell too slowly, and Ding Dafu is not as clever as Gazi when selling things.

"Sister Qiuse, don't worry, I'll come over early tomorrow morning to help you, but what is a watermelon?" Gazi asked strangely.

"A watermelon is a green melon, and you'll see it tomorrow." Qiu Se smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, and I will give you a commission then." ”

I don't understand what the commission is, but he understands the meaning of Qiuse, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister Qiuse has helped my family so much, I should help you, how can I ask for money?" It's just a matter of effort. ”

"You have to make money if you work hard! Okay, don't talk about this yet, when you go back, help me tie up three haystacks, one big and two smaller, don't cut some more bamboo sticks, half a foot long. ”

Originally, Qiu Se planned to let Ding Dafu get these, but now that Gazi came over, and planned to hire him to sell watermelons, he simply handed them over, and sent him away after explaining what Gazi wanted to do, and Qiu Se hurriedly came back to pack up the bamboo baskets and wooden barrels.

"Yo, the eldest girl of the Ding family is back?" As soon as the door on the opposite side opened, Sister-in-law Chen stood at the door and asked her with the soles of her shoes, "Who was that just now?" How do I send you these things? ”

"What is the gift, this is what I bought!" After Qiu Se finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo basket and carried the wooden barrel into the courtyard, completely ignoring the inquiring gaze of Sister-in-law Chen behind her.

Alas, it is not good that the autumn colors sometimes feel too familiar with the neighbors.

"Yo, big girl, this is a fortune? How did you buy so many things and come back? When he met Zhang, his eyes were also vigorously piercing the barrel and basket.

"What a fortune, it's just some green vegetables." The autumn color was very generous for her to see, the watermelon in the wooden barrel was just covered with the green vegetables in the basket with the autumn color, and now it is just a basket and a bucket of green vegetables.

Zhang pouted secretly, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't just hide the money that the big girl has made!" It's better to lend it to the second aunt, and you can make some money. ”

"Second aunt, don't you watch how much I earn and how much I spend a day? A pot of canned food only earns seventy or eighty ......"

"Okay, okay, I'll just say that casually, what do you think you're talking about?" Zhang hurriedly interrupted the autumn color, and subconsciously glanced towards the main room, and then hurriedly went to the back of the house.

"Humph!" Autumn color gave her a white look, when Mrs. Ding showed off with herself, she knew that she and the Zhao family sold canned food for at least twenty yuan, but they didn't say anything about it, and they dared to come to inquire about their own money!

Qiu Se moved the bamboo basket and wooden barrel into the house, took out the watermelon and just wanted to cut it suddenly felt the urge to urinate, Xu ate too much watermelon at Qingniang's place, so she called Wu to help her watch, and ran to the thatched house by herself.

"Second aunt, are you sure of that?" As soon as he arrived at the corner of the house, Qiu Shi suddenly heard Sanya's voice and subconsciously stopped.

"Sanya, I'm your second aunt, can't you believe it?" This is Zhang speaking.

Qiu Se stretched out his head and quietly looked at the back of the house, the thatched house and the open space of the house were planted by Mrs. Ding with a few ridges of green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., and Zhang and Sanya stood on the ridges of the green onions and talked.

I saw that Sanya was still a little hesitant, "Then, will it really be advantageous to get money then?" ”

Zhang slapped his thigh, "Ouch, I said Sanya, when did the second aunt lie to you!" Don't worry, if you don't have any money, you will go to your second aunt's house and move whatever you like. But how much money do you have? If you have nothing or two, I won't bother you with this! ”

"Humph!" Sanya snorted lightly, took out an object wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, and after opening it, it was still wrapped in a handkerchief, and then opened it, and inside was a copper coin strung with a red rope, "These are thirty Wen, how much can you give me then?" ”

Zhang's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that this Sanya was really rich, and when he heard her question, he was busy patting his chest and making a guarantee, "According to the usual practice, only one hundred wen per month will have an interest of five wen, but for the sake of our relatives, I will give you three wen a month for thirty wen, how about it?" Are you going to borrow for a few months? If you borrow more, you will get more. "How does autumn sound a bit like usury?!

"How much more?" Obviously, Sanya was a little moved.

"If you borrow for two months, you can get seven cents, and every month you grow in the future will be more than one penny." Zhang smiled again and asked: "It seems that your family has made a lot of money, and even the pocket money is willing to give you like this!" ”

"What kind of pocket money, this is what I earned by helping to cook cans!" Sanya straightened her chest and said proudly, frowning and hesitating, do you want to save a few more days?

Zhang slapped a mosquito that had bitten his neck and urged: "Sanya, have you thought about it?" Someone should come over in a moment. ”

"That'...... I'd better borrow it for two months first, and I'll borrow it after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sanya finally made a decision.

"Yes, wait for the second aunt to bring you a note back in the evening." Zhang took away the copper plate in Sanya's hand and went back, and Sanya was a little reluctant to follow behind.
