40 Love Plants (1)
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and vegetable prices are soaring.
Jin Liuni seized the opportunity, didn't watch TV at night, and lay down early to rest.
I got up at two o'clock in the morning to cook, and when I had my fill, I went to the farmer's market to batch vegetables. I pulled a cart of vegetables back, and it was still dark.
At the beginning of the morning market, she was the first to arrive, and even the vegetable vendors who used powered cars to pull vegetables were still behind her.
Before the holiday, the autumn Chinese cabbage on the market for the first time was tender and delicious, and many citizens rushed to buy it as soon as possible. For three days in a row, Jin Liuni sold the most, and her income skyrocketed.
On this day, she got up early in the morning and went to the wholesale market to approve a cart of nearly 500 catties of Chinese cabbage. Hired a taxi to take to the morning market.
What she didn't expect was that there were a lot of Chinese cabbage at the beginning of the morning market. Prices jumped sharply. And the sales are not as good as the previous days.
Jin Liuni went from the morning market to the night market for more than ten hours, and only sold more than 200 catties. On the second day, the third day, sell the leftover Chinese cabbage as usual. It's getting worse and worse.
The Mid-Autumn Festival passed quickly, and she still had more than 150 catties of Chinese cabbage that she couldn't sell.
That night, Liuni didn't eat and didn't want to eat. Listless, I went to Panber's house.
Yang's mother made a hand-rolled dough and brought a bowl to her. Liuni took it with both hands and put it on the table, not moving.
Pan Bo asked Jin Liuni: "How many Chinese cabbages are still unsold?" ”
Liuni's face was full of clouds, and she said in a low voice: "There are still more than one hundred and forty catties, how can I not sell it, and it will rot if I wait any longer!" ”
Uncle Pan said anxiously: "How can this work! How can you see what is in your mouth rotting! It's better to think about it. ”
Mother Yang took the half bowl of noodles that she hadn't finished eating, and hurriedly said, "It's a pity that it's rotten, hurry up and discuss with your uncle what to do?" ”
Old Man Pan put down the bowl and simply stopped eating. He paced on the ground with his hands behind his back, coughing a few times from time to time. This is his old habit, he always has to pace and cough constantly when he has something in his heart. He coughed a few times in a row, his heart lit up, and he said to himself:
"That's it, come to it all at once! Mobilize the whole family to eat cabbage, everyone helps the family, and it will solve the problem! ”
He perked up and shouted, "Old Mother Yang, I think that's what I can do." ”
"What the hell is this, that's it? What kind of dreams do you talk in broad daylight! ”
"Hahahaha-I know you don't understand!" Old man Pan let out a long laugh, "I mean giving full play to the strength of the whole family." Notify the eldest and second, the third daughter, the fourth daughter and Liangliang to come to get the food, and one cannot be missing. Do you need to ask others? ”
Old Yang's mother finally understood what Old Man Pan meant, and she was serious,
"I think that's a good idea. Call them to tell them to come early, they can't delay any longer! ”
"Yes! Call them and tell them to come right away. As if he had received a holy decree, Old Man Pan immediately dialed his mobile phone.
"Liangliang has a long way to go, and there is a traffic jam after work, so you don't have to notify her." Yang's mother prompted.
"That's not going to work. Official, no one is missing! Old man Pan emphasized. Mother Yang didn't say anything more, let his old man arrange it.
At this time, Liuni already understood what was going on, she stood up to leave, and said embarrassedly: "Don't trouble your family." I'll handle it myself. ”
Old Man Pan said: "The policy has been set and cannot be changed!" ”
Mr. and Mrs. Pan had two sons and three daughters:
The eldest and second are boys, and the rest are three girls. The eldest and second and their parents live in a neighborhood that is very close.
After the phone call, the boss came in ten minutes.
Uncle Pan gave his eldest son 4 cabbages, weighing more than 30 pounds.
Old Man Pan said, "You have a lot of people, give one more." You eat the vegetables, I pay for it.
The boss asked, "Dad, do you still care about the food when you come to get the food?" ”
"I'll stick the dishes, and I'll take care of your food, just your good deeds!" Lao Yang's mother quickly picked up the conversation:
"Boss, you know what? The dishes you will give are worth more than 50 yuan, but you can't underestimate these vegetables. ”
The boss laughed and said, "Mom, you don't want this dish for me, it's not fresh." You should pay me for my errands. ”
"Let's go, let's go, don't be poor. Take it back and make dumplings. ”
"Can you make dumplings with this dish? Take back only my share, no one else, no one eats! ”
The eldest quickly returned home with 4 cabbages on his back. The wife didn't look at it and threw it aside. He also said with a thorn in the wind:
"Your father is really hot, recruit a little daughter-in-law to go home, don't charge rent, live for nothing. also helped her sell vegetables and share rotten vegetables. The elbow turned outward, I was afraid that the little daughter-in-law would not have a good time! ”
"Wife, what are you talking about? Don't you know our father's personality yet? He is a kind-hearted person, but he is afraid that others will not be able to get by, and he always wants to pull a hand when he is in difficulty.
"Let's just say that in 1960, when I was only seven or eight years old, it was not easy to eat a bowl of dumplings. During the Chinese New Year, my mother made a lid of dumplings, a bowl for grandma, a bowl for grandpa, a bowl for my younger brother, and half a bowl for me. There was also a bowl that I was reluctant to eat and gave it to Uncle Zhao, who was seriously ill in my neighborhood. He knew that Uncle Zhao was hungry for dumplings. After sending it, Uncle Zhao ate 3 dumplings no more, no less...... I stared at my dad in a daze...... I lost my breath when I looked at it...... cough, my dad took a breath and said, Uncle Zhao should have died a long time ago, just waiting to eat dumplings and close his eyes! ”
The boss said one more thing.
"My dad was a teacher. One year, during the winter vacation, he took me and a few friends in the class to ski in the mountains. Slipping, slipping, I bumped into a little friend. I rolled into the snow hole at the bottom of the mountain. The little friend hit a big bag on his forehead, and he lay on the snow and cried and screamed......
When it didn't look good, my dad picked up his little friend and saved people. Seeing that it was okay, he went to me. I choked on the snow and my lips turned purple and I couldn't breathe. When my dad saw the hair, he pinched, blew, and slapped again, and carried me down the mountain to find a doctor's .......
Later, how many years later, I asked my mother, why didn't Dad save me first, but save others? Mom said, silly boy, because he is your real father, he can't save you first...... It wasn't until I grew up that I understood what my mother was saying. ”
