"Bai Han, the eldest sister is also a hard-working person, with your words, the eldest sister is not hypocritical, then we will work together, work hard, and strive to live a good life as soon as possible." Qin Ruhua and my Bai Han's hand said gratefully, could it be that this is a good person with a good reward, although he helped Bai Han's mother and daughter before without asking for anything in return, but he really didn't expect Bai Han to help himself in turn.

Bai Han looked at Sister Qin's handsome face, and said with a smile: "Don't say more, let's go buy cloth and flour!" ”

The two of them each spent a dollar to buy festive red cloth and prepare to make clothes for the two children. When you go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy flour, the supply and marketing cooperatives will collect food stamps first, and then collect money. Neither of them had food stamps in their hands, so they had to wait in the back of the line. When it was Bai Han's turn, the flour was gone, and even the wheat was gone, and this time it was not possible to use the wheat from Sister Qin's house.

Looking at Bai Han who was dejected, Qin Ruhua said with a smile: "Bai Han, don't we still have wheat at home, let's hurry home, cook and eat, and after eating, we will go to grind wheat together." Didn't you just say that we are a partnership? Sister Qin didn't have anything else, so she took out four pockets of wheat to partner, if you don't accept it, I won't be involved in your business. ”

Originally, let Sister Qin do business together, Bai Han thought about paying for herself to repay Sister Qin's help in the past, but Sister Qin was so resolute, so let's agree. Bai Han nodded, the two adults and the two children went home together, just thinking about how to do a good business, and forgot to buy something for the two little guys to eat. Bai Ling didn't want to interrupt the conversation between his mother and Aunt Qin, so he kept preventing Wu Bin from interjecting, so he had to go hungry all the way.

On the way, Bai Ling saw a rare heartfelt smile on his mother Bai Han's face as he wished, and knew that there were fewer dark clouds on the heads of the mother and daughter. As long as you do a good job in this business and have money in your hands, you will not rely too much on Shi Jinghai, which is a good start.

When the meal was ready, Bai Ling and Wu Bin ate a whole bowl of porridge, Bai Han and Qin Ruhua realized that the two children were hungry, and looked at each other and smiled.

In the afternoon, the wheat was brought out and put on a pallet cart, and the two of them were pulled to the flour mill, where they paid a little processing fee to grind the flour very finely. After coming back in the evening, Bai Han did not shy away from Qin Ruhua, so he began to make a face, and with the help of Qin Ruhua, he quickly got it done. Just wait for tomorrow morning to get up early to make chrysanthemum cakes, so that when you arrive at the market, the chrysanthemum cakes will still be hot, and the fragrance will be more mellow.

"Sister Qin, tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, I will get up and make chrysanthemum cakes." Bai Han looked at Bai Ling who was sleeping on the bed, and was very distressed, "Xiao Ling helped this morning so that it could be done before dawn." With you joining, I will never let the little spirit suffer this sin again! ”

"Yes, Xiaoling is really a smart and well-behaved child. Tomorrow Xiaobin will go to school, Xiaoling and we will also take it with us, and when the chrysanthemum cake is sold, we must buy something delicious for Xiaoling, we can't be hungry for most of the day like today. Qin Ruhua looked at his sons Wu Bin and Xiaoling with pity, he was the same as Bai Han, if he didn't have a child, he really didn't know how to live, and the child was his everything.

Early the next morning, Qin Ruhua and Bai Han each carried a basket on their backs and led the two children to the market in Lijia Village, where the Li Family Primary School was at the end of the market, just to send Wu Bin to school. Wu Bin was very happy, he ate chrysanthemum cake for breakfast, and his mouth was still sweet and fragrant, and there was a piece in the bag for Chunxing's crazy girl. At the thought that Chunxing might gobble up, Wu Bin felt very funny.

Waiting for Qin Ruhua, Bai Han came to the place where he set up the stall yesterday, and saw the first woman who bought chrysanthemum cake yesterday.

"But I'm waiting for you to come, a few chrysanthemum cakes I bought home yesterday were divided by a few people in the family, and I don't like it, I want to buy more." The woman's already red face was frozen purple, and as she spoke, she exhaled a lot of white breath, "Give me twenty yuan this time, this is two yuan!" After speaking, he also took out a clean cloth bag and put the chrysanthemum cake directly in it.

Qin Ruhua collected the money, and he was happy, and he sold one-sixth of it at once, maybe he could sell it out early today.

"What do you call this sister-in-law?" Qin Ruhua asked with a smile, this is a big deal, looking at the woman's dress, it is good in the countryside. If you like to eat chrysanthemum cake, you will be a regular customer in the future.

"Just call me sister-in-law Li, my man is the village party secretary of Lijia Village, what do you call the two sisters?" Sister-in-law Li asked enthusiastically, don't talk about other places, but in Lijia Village, which is not a courtesy to let yourself be three.

As soon as Qin Ruhua heard that this sister-in-law Li was still a person with some status, the village party secretary was a soil emperor in the village, and nothing could be avoided by the village party secretary; And this market is opened in Lijia Village, if you are familiar with Sister-in-law Li, maybe one day you will be bullied, and you can find someone to help. Bai Han wrapped twenty chrysanthemum cakes with his hands and feet and put them in the cloth bag that Sister-in-law Li brought over.

Qin Ruhua wiped her hands with a wet towel, took a steaming chrysanthemum cake, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Li, my name is Qin Ruhua, just call me Ruhua; This is Bai Han's sister, just call Bai Han. On such a cold day, hurry up and eat some hot pads, warm and warm! ”

"How embarrassing is this, you are also in business!" Sister-in-law Li shirked it, but still took the hot chrysanthemum cake in her hand.

Qin Ruhua pushed his hand, pretended to be angry and said: "Once born, second ripe, we are from Yangshu Village next door, and our sisters are doing some business here to subsidize the family, and we will need more care from Sister-in-law Li in the future." ”

Qin Ruhua's words came to Sister-in-law Li's heart, and she had to take the chrysanthemum cake with peace of mind. In this bazaar, it is really not easy to gain a foothold, let alone these two young women. It's not easy, take care of them more in the future, just say hello to a few street sliders on the street at night, don't trouble them.

"Sister Ruhua, this chrysanthemum cake, sister-in-law accepted it, in this bazaar, someone is looking for trouble with you, just say it's my sister!" Sister-in-law Li said boldly, the family was still waiting to eat chrysanthemum cake, and she didn't say much, so she went back with the bag.

The reason why she is so anxious is because yesterday there was a distinguished guest at Sister-in-law Li's house, who was a comrade-in-arms of his man who was an official in the county, and Li Zhishu asked Sister-in-law Li to come out to buy vegetables. There is nothing in the county, and Sister-in-law Li has been in the market for a while, but she has not bought anything more special. Until he saw the chrysanthemum cake sold by Bai Han, his eyes lit up, and after buying it back, he gave the old woman a piece and his own man a piece, and all the two pieces were eaten by his own male comrades.

I drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, so I stayed at home for one night, and when I woke up, I had an endless aftertaste of the chrysanthemum cake I ate last night, and I never forgot it. Li Zhishu hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to buy it, and it was early in the morning that Sister-in-law Li was wandering around the market.

The reason why Li Zhishu is so enthusiastic is because Township Chief Liu is going to be transferred away during the Chinese New Year, and I heard that he is preparing to elect one from the twenty-five villages in the township to be the township head, so this Li Branch Secretary invited his comrades-in-arms who had a strong friendship to go home to discuss the matter. For the requirements of comrades-in-arms, it is not easy to meet. asked Sister-in-law Li, it's not a valuable thing, buy more and give it away, and do what she likes. However, that chrysanthemum cake is really delicious.

Today, a small half of them are repeat customers, and now there is a lack of material, and there are really not many things that can afford to eat this, at most for the sake of trying, and it is already very good to buy it once every ten days and half a month.

I brought a lot of them today, so I sold them out until noon, and there are not many people who are "rich" like Sister-in-law Li, everyone buys two or four, and rarely buys a lot at a time.

At noon, Bai Ling and Wu Bin ate something on the street. Qin Ruhua, Bai Han took Bai Ling home, and Wu Bin went to the afternoon class.

When I went home, I actually earned five yuan today, two dollars and five yuan per person. Qin Ruhua didn't expect to make so much money in one day, there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, at this rate, maybe he can earn a hundred yuan by the end of the year.

"Bai Han, why don't we do more today, and use the picks to sell them in the county. After all, the market in Lijia Village is very small, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy and eat. There are many workers and rich people in the county, and it is estimated that they can make more money there. Qin Ruhua counted the banknotes and coins in his hand, and analyzed the number of customers according to the actual situation. Bai Han didn't think about it so much, and he didn't have much ambition.

Bai Han thought about it, so we go to the county seat to sell it one day, and go to the market in Lijia Village one day to sell it, so that it will not only sell quickly, but maybe it can really be sold at a good price in the county.

"But what about Xiao Ling and Wu Bin? Granny Li is old and can't take care of the children anymore. Wu Bin can still go to school, and Xiaoling really can't find anyone to take him. Bai Han puts his daughter first in everything, and making money is just to make her daughter live a better life.

Bai Ling could see from Qin Ruhua's words that Aunt Qin was a person with a more flexible brain, and she knew that drawing inferences from one case was a piece of material for doing business. Although Bai Ling's body is a child's body, his mind is nearly forty years old, and he will take care of himself.

"Mom, don't worry about me, I went to school with Brother Wu Bin. I waited for him outside, and if it rained outside, I would move a small bench and sit under Wu Bin's brother's desk. I won't disturb Brother Wu Bin's study, Aunt Qin, don't worry. Bai Ling hurriedly explained that he could take care of himself, "At noon, I will eat a little on the street." ”

From Bai Ling's shouting yesterday, Qin Ruhua unconsciously regarded Bai Ling as an adult, smart and sensible, so it was a good way to persuade Bai Han: "Bai Han, just do it, if it doesn't work, let's find a way." ”

I found two picks from the villagers, cleaned them, spread a clean white cloth on them, and put stacks of freshly made chrysanthemum cakes. Because it is far away from the county seat, it will take nearly two hours to walk, so it can only be done tonight, and it will be sold in the county seat before dawn tomorrow morning.
