On the way back, Qiao Kangsheng asked his daughter to sit on the cart and pulled her away.

Talking about what happened in the city during the day, and unconsciously talking about Huang Yalian who met at the gate of the hospital, Qiao Kangsheng inquired and asked, "What is your friend's name Huang?" ”

"Huang Yalian."

"Oh, who are her parents?"

"You also saw it at the entrance of the hospital before, her mother is that woman, and now she is the vice president of the general hospital, and her father is the commander-in-chief of the army. She is the daughter of the commander's family, and she is in the same compound as the Lu family. ”

"Oh." After Qiao Kangsheng said "oh", he didn't ask any more questions.

The father and daughter returned to Xihe Village and passed by the door of their grandfather's house, and Qiao Xi sent the mung bean cake they brought back to their grandfather.

When I got home, it was already dark, and there was a lamp in the hall, and the light shone out from the doorway, forming a pillar of light in the courtyard.

"Mom, we're back."

Qiao Xi entered the courtyard and shouted.

Soon, Yu Hui came out of the hall to greet him and said, "I thought you wouldn't be back today!" ”

Yu Hui thought to herself, how could the chairs be so easy to sell, it is estimated that the two of them will stay in the city for two days, but they didn't expect them to be able to rush back on the same day.

"The things were sold, and we came back, and there was nowhere to go in the city."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Hmm."

"You wait, I'll cook some noodles for you now."

Yu Hui was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Qiao Kangsheng.

Qiao Kangsheng put down his pocket, took out a small pocket from his waist, and handed it to his wife, "This is the money we used to sell chairs today, you see." ”

Yu Hui took advantage of the light in the hall, opened the bag to look, counted the number inside, and asked in disbelief, "One hundred and thirty yuan?" How did you sell so much? ”

At this time in the 80s, the purchase price of one pound of rice and grain was only sevenths and nineths, and the peasants worked hard to farm the land and could sell it for a few hundred yuan a year.

In Yu Hui's imagination, her husband worked hard to weave a big bamboo basket and only sold it for 5 cents, and now she thinks that a chair can be sold for a dollar, and she knows that it can be sold for more than 100 yuan.

Earning so much money at once is much better than harvesting a crop!

"It's Xiaoxi who will do business, 10 yuan for a large chair and 5 yuan for a small chair. Let her sell it. Qiao Kangsheng said proudly.

"Really? I really can't see that Xiaoxi will still do business! Yes, yes, if you turn your craft into money in the future, our family can count on it. ”

"yes, it's going to get better and better. Okay, go cook noodles, Xiaoxi and I are hungry. ”

Qiao Kangsheng also sees hope now, and feels that if this road continues, there may be a great harvest, and it may be higher than the income of honestly planting crops.

"Hey, okay, I'll cook it right away."

Yu Huihuan happily went to the kitchen to make noodles, and Qiao Xue and Qiao Yu in the house also ran out with Meng Xiaobai.

Qiao Yu took a box from his sister's hand, opened it and saw that it was peach cake, but he was very happy.

"Wow~ The eldest sister brought a peach crisp, it's so fragrant!"

"Well, don't forget to give your mother and your second sister a taste." Qiao Xi confessed when he entered the house.

"I know." Qiao Yu had already run to the kitchen, and his voice came out, "Mom, try it, is the peach crisp brought by the eldest sister fragrant?" ”

"Incense! It smells so good! ”

Qiao Xi went to the house to put down her bag and changed her slippers at home, Qiao Xue came into the house and poured her a glass of water, "Sister, drink some water!" It's been a day of running! ”

"yes, okay."

Qiao Xi raised his head, took a large glass of cold boiled water in one breath, and wiped his mouth with pleasure.

Qiao Xue asked with a blank eye, "Eldest sister, did you encounter anything new in the city to tell me?" ”
