Chapter 6 Small shoes and socks can also be changed
When she returned home, her mother had already baked the potatoes, and she was so hungry that she drooled when she smelled the potatoes. She also felt strange, why didn't the delicacies of the mountains and seas she had eaten before have the fragrance of potatoes?
Cui Yuechan saw that a large bag of her thread had become these strange gadgets, although she looked cute, she was also distressed, "I wanted to keep these and knit a sweater for you." β
She devoured fragrant potatoes, "Don't be in a hurry about the sweater, Mom, you can eat it too, let's go to the market and sell something." β
"Will anyone buy this?"
"Try it, how do you know if you don't try."
Cui Yuechan hesitated for a moment, "This house can't be locked, we're all gone, what if someone wants to steal everything at home?" Besides, I have to go to the factory to return the car. β
Fei Lingyi makes sense to think about it, not to mention others, even the second uncle and the third uncle are possible, not to mention grandma, who has already looked at their blankets.
Fei Lingyi thought for a while, "Mom, let's do it, I'll sell the things myself, it doesn't matter if you want to return the car, leave all the doors of the house open, and you can go." β
"You're crazy, the door is open and the things won't be taken out."
Fei Lingyi smiled bitterly: "Mom, this is also a way to do it, the door is not locked, it is useless if you close it, the door is not closed, people think you are at home, so they will not come." β
Cui Yuechan suddenly realized: "You are singing about the empty city plan." β
"This is also forced to Liangshan, you go and return the car and come back quickly, wait for me at home, someone has to come to grab something, don't fight with them, wait for me to come back, okay?"
Cui Yuechan heard that there was an order in her daughter's words, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose, "But Lingyi, tomorrow is the time to familiarize yourself with the exam room, don't you review your homework?" β
"Mom, we are now under this condition, let alone taking the university entrance examination, even if we are really admitted, we can't get in. Don't worry, get through this hurdle, and I'll find a way to study, okay? If you can't go to full-time, correspondence courses or electrical colleges, the state recognizes academic qualifications. β
Cui Yuechan saw that what her daughter said was reasonable, and she had nothing to refute for a while, so she had to stop talking.
Today coincides with the market, although there is only one street in the town, but there is no second market town within a radius of ten miles, so the town is bustling, with people carrying skulls and burdens, as well as the families of workers with foreign accents trading on this street.
There is only one grocery store in this town, Fei Lingyi came a little early, and the grocery store hasn't opened yet.
Fei Lingyi looked at this black and gray non-staple food store, the faΓ§ade is about 3 meters wide, and the number 12345 on the door panel is very eye-catching, it should be the number of the door panel when the door is closed. The slogan above the lintel has fallen off, and only the words "grasp the revolution and promote production" can be faintly seen.
She spread the plastic bag on the ground, and then put on the small shoes, socks and hats that she had knitted last night.
"What is this?"
"Baby shoes, you see, babies are small, they can only wear soft shoes, although handmade cloth shoes can also be, but they are not as soft as wool, and they are beautiful."
A pregnant woman with a big belly came over and said, "Oh, how cute these little shoes are, how do they sell them?" β
"Eldest sister, you really have eyesight, it seems that you are a blessed one, and you must be a boy in your belly."
"This little girl, her mouth is so sweet, how do you know that I will give birth to a boy?"
"My mother taught me, my mother is a midwife, and the pregnant women she has seen say that if you give birth to a boy, you will give birth to a boy, and if you say that you will give birth to a girl, you can give birth to a girl, but you are allowed."
"Really, then you calculate, how long will I have to give birth?"
Fei Lingyi thought to herself, I am not a fortune teller, how do I know when you will give birth, but she knows that the pregnancy period is a total of 280 days, which is about 9 months and 10 days when converted into months.
"Remember when your last period was?"
"Of course I remember, it's the 25th of the first month of this year."
Fei Lingyi pinched her fingers and calculated slightly, "The tenth day of the winter month in the second half of the year will not exceed three days before and after." β
"Wow, God! You must have learned it from your mother. Little sister, how much is a pair of these little shoes and socks. β
"Sister, I really have a fate with you, I kiss you as soon as I see you, and I think you are the same as my own sister. That's it, I sell others 2 yuan and 5 cents for small shoes, and 2 yuan for socks, and I'll count them all for you for 2 yuan. β
"Can't be less?"
"It's really indispensable, no matter how little it is, you can't buy back the wool. I have a genuine wool, you know, how much is a pound of wool, and it is not handmade. β
"Well, this, I'll think about it again...... Two pairs of the same. β
"Okay, two pairs of the same, and wear them differently. Do you like the hat, you see how cute this little hat is, my nephew Dongyue was born, and it is the time to wear a hat. Sister, let me tell you, there are only these 2 hats, and there are no more than one, maybe, if you turn around the street for a while, it will be gone. β
"Okay, then 2 pairs of shoes and socks, a hat, eh, I haven't said how much the hat is?"
"The hat is 4 yuan, sister, I didn't earn you a penny for this hat, don't bargain with me."
The flag is victorious, this one is opening well, and after a while, there is 12 yuan in the account, and Fei Lingyi is full of confidence.
The owner of the grocery store was a middle-aged man, and as soon as he came to open the door, he saw her setting up a stall in front of the door, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Eh, eh, why are you setting up my door?" You're blocking my business, do you know? β
Fei Lingyi was full of smiles: "Uncle, don't worry, I will move the stall to the side and promise not to affect your business." β
Fei Lingyi's stall occupies a limited position, and she screams uncle after uncle as if she has smeared honey, this man really can't pull his face and insists on driving her away.
The place she chose is really good, most of the people who come to the grocery store to buy milk powder have babies at home, and they can't help but come to see her little shoes and socks.
An old lady came over with a back bag, saw her little shoes and socks, picked them up and looked at them, "Girl, are you sturdy?" β
Fei Lingyi's face smiled like a flower, "Grandma, these little shoes look soft and sturdy, and a child will definitely not wear them." Although family planning nowadays allows a couple to have only one child, your old man looks like a house full of children and grandchildren, and if a child wears it, other children can continue to wear it, and it is absolutely no problem to wear a pair of shoes for two or three children. β
"And how much do I buy a pair?"
"Grandma, you want to buy only one pair of shoes, 2 yuan 5 is not less, if you buy more, the price is still a little discounted."
"How much is two pairs?"
"Buy two pairs and I can give you a pair of 2 yuan 3, do you want socks, you see, how warm it is, your grandson wears it, I don't know how cute it is?"
"Then the socks will cost less, right?"
"In this way, grandma, these socks can be as laborious as shoes, I knitted for two days, only to weave these pairs, you want the same 1 pair, I will count 2 yuan 2 for you, a total of 4 yuan and 4 cents, four seasons of wealth, auspicious."
The second 4 yuan and 4 cents are in hand again, and now there are 16 yuan and 4 cents in hand. She counted, and there were 2 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of socks, and 1 hat left.
A man with a briefcase walked over and went straight into the non-staple food store, Fei Lingyi saw that he had bought two packs of baby milk powder, and he knew it. When the man passed by her, she smiled and said, "Big brother, why don't you buy a pair of small shoes for the child when you buy milk powder for the child?" β
Maybe she was too good-looking, and her voice was tactful, and the man stopped, "You did this?" β
Fei Lingyi nodded, a pair of beautiful big eyes flickering.
The man sighed: "This little girl has good hands, but why don't she go to school?" β
"My family is poor and I don't have money to go to school." Fei Lingyi is still wearing the white shirt, only tossed for a day yesterday, this white shirt has long become an unknown color, she was busy walking early this morning, her pants were full of mud, and she really looked like a little girl from a poor family. β
"My child is 5 months old and can't wear it anymore, so I can take care of your business and buy a pair of shoes."
Fei Lingyi had an idea, "Big brother, you don't have to take care of my business, the child is older, I can also knit the child's clothes and pants a little bigger, it's good-looking, in this way, in a few days, you will still come here, I will weave the child's clothes and keep them for you, it's not good-looking and not good-looking." β
"Then should I pay you a deposit or something?"
"No need, big brother, I can trust you, and I have confidence in myself, you will definitely be satisfied."
At this time, the first pregnant woman came with a few big-bellied women, panting and saying, "This is it, this girl." β
