When entering the village, the villagers saw Grandpa Luo carrying a big basket, and they didn't think much about it, the Luo family was poor like that, unless they picked up gold, they would at most pick up a few pieces of cow dung and go home to make a fire.

"Is this to the county?" I met my neighbor Uncle Dashan and asked more.

"Yes, Uncle Dashan, I borrowed your carpentry tools yesterday and made a few gadgets, let's try my luck today and see if I can sell them."

Luo Xiaoqiao hurriedly answered. It's really not her villain's heart, the family is old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are really too poor, if they know that they can make money, there may be any moths, it is better to keep it secret.

"Seeing that the pork sellers were about to withdraw their stalls, they sold them cheaply to us," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"That thing is not delicious, fishy and smelly," Aunt Dashan said with a frown, and when the villagers who came around heard about this, they also lost interest in continuing to come and ask, and they were busy going home.

"It's also some meat." Luo Xiaoqiao lowered his head and said softly.

"Hmph, do you have the money to buy meat, but don't you have the money to pay back my family's money?" Liu happened to come back from the field, and when he saw Grandpa Luo carrying a frame, he immediately said meanly.

Grandpa Luo didn't know what to say, and when he thought of the things in the basket, he was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Luo Xiaoqiao raised his head, stared at Liu, and said word by word: "Don't worry, I said that I would pay it back in half a year, and we will return it to you if we smash the pot and sell iron." ”

Liu Shi saw her eyes cold, since she woke up, Luo Xiaoqiao was not the somewhat cowardly Luo Xiaoqiao in the past, so she didn't dare to look directly. After seeing the disapproving eyes of the surrounding villagers, he said fiercely: "Just remember." ”

After saying that, he snorted, spat and left.

"Old Liu Tou is used to stinky problems!" Aunt Huang looked at her background and stomped her feet.

Luo Xiaoqiao saw her appearance, a little warm, and smiled. "Auntie, from the morning to the present, we are really tired, go back first."

"Go back, go back, go out for half a day, and the family has to worry about what will happen." Aunt Huang said as she beckoned them to hurry back.

Back at the door of the house, the yard was open, Luo Xiaoni was sitting on a stone bench sewing clothes, and her grandmother was also using the soles of old buna shoes. Even Luo Niuniu looked at the door from time to time.

"The second sister is back, and the grandfather is back." Luo Niuniu crossed the threshold, and after seeing the two of them from a distance, he immediately came back happily to report the news.

This old man and the young man have been walking all day, and Xiao Qiao is not in good health, so it is not good for people not to worry.

Grandma Luo and Luo Xiaoni both put down their work and walked a few steps to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that the two of them were just a little tired, there was nothing bad in their expressions, and there was still a smile in the old man's eyes, and a few people were relieved.

"Hurry back to the yard and rest."

Luo Xiaoqiao didn't care about anything else, so he rushed to the urn at once, scooped up the cold water and drank it, dying of thirst.

The old man was better than her, but he first put down the big basket behind him, and then drank a stomach full of water before he began to speak.

Luo Xiaoni looked at the two of them with blank eyes, and some wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Sold?" Grandma Luo asked.

"Sold, sold." Grandpa Luo nodded with a smile, "Let's have three meals in the future, and we will have some good ones tonight." ”

As soon as she heard the old man say this, Grandma Luo, who had been frugal all her life, instantly smiled, "It seems that it was sold for a good price." ”

"How much did it sell?" Luo Xiaoni asked.

Luo Xiaoqiao stretched out a slap and a finger.

"Six pennies?" Luo Xiaoni was a little lost.

"Guess again", Luo Xiaoqiao deliberately teased her.

"It can't be sixty wen, right?"

"It doesn't sell much, but we earn 600 wen." Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

"What?" Luo Xiaoni was stunned, and unconsciously raised her voice, "What you said is true?" Is it really 600 Wen? ”

Grandpa Luo smiled and told what had happened, and Luo Xiaoni and Luo Niuniu, who listened to it, had bright eyes, and both of them sighed in their hearts at the same time: Xiao Qiao is so smart.

"But Xiao Qiao, what if everyone else wins the first prize? Even if there is no first prize, the second prize is not cost-effective. ”

"Grandpa, I've calculated, the main signing bucket, there are 100 signatures in it, just one first prize, two second prizes, only one out of 100 people can be drawn, and there are only dozens of people in one morning, not so probable"

"What if?" Grandpa asked.

"No in case, I added something to the ink that wrote the first prize sign, I have vinegar in my hand, I really drew it, hehe......"

Grandpa Luo: ......

"I've got to get things done first." Luo Xiaoqiao remembered the pig blood and other things in the box.

"What is this? Why did you buy so many things? How much does this cost", Grandma Luo looked at the basket full, feeling a little distressed about the money, but also distressed for her wife.

It must be more than 20 miles away, and with the old man's feet, he can carry such a heavy thing back.

After seeing the contents of the basket carefully, he was even more surprised: "Why did you buy meat when you didn't celebrate the New Year?" ”

"Our family is too weak, my grandparents are only in their fifties, and they are already so old, our family will get better and better in the future, and everyone has to be strong to keep our good life."

"Why did you buy this carpentry thing?" Luo Xiaoni looked at the back basket.

Grandpa Luo has been smiling all the time, listening to the chatter of his granddaughters, the chatter of the old woman, and looking at the sensible grandson, at this moment, he actually feels extremely satisfied.

"Because I've been living for a long time."

"Second sister, what kind of long life is it?" Luo Niuniu interjected.

"In the future, we will make these gadgets for a long time, and we will make money in the long run."

"What you said is true?" , Luo Xiaoni stood up excitedly, nothing excited her more than this news.

"It's true, but don't be too happy, this first gadget, sold more expensively, and it won't be in the future, only fifty big bucks a piece."

"Fifty is fifty, we can do it." Luo Xiaoni didn't care about her labor being squeezed, she felt that her life was full of sunshine and hope for the first time.

Let's go, let's cook, Luo Xiaoqiao grabbed Luo Xiaoni's hand and went to the kitchen happily.

Luo Niuniu took the initiative to take on the job of starting the fire.

Luo Xiaoqiao first took out the plate oil, put it in the pot and fried it, the sound of swishing continued, and after a while, he practiced a big bowl of oil, found an empty crockpot and put it up, and he could cook in the future.

There was still a piece of fat residue the size of a palm, and Luo Xiaoqiao broke a large piece and stuffed it into Luo Niuniu's mouth, leaving a fragrant mouth.

Luo Niuniu jumped up happily: "Second sister, it's delicious." ”

I haven't seen any oil and water in my stomach for more than a year, and it's such a fragrant thing, can it feel bad?

"Niu Niu, help my sister in the future, our good days are still ahead."

Luo Niuniu nodded obediently: "I'll help." ”

"Sister, you taste it", Luo Xiaoqiao gave Luo Xiaoni another piece.

Luo Xiaoni was a little embarrassed, her grandparents hadn't eaten yet.

"You taste it first, there's a big piece left, I'll take it out and give it to them."
