Chapter Twenty-Eight: Selling Fruit
The two-month summer vacation has passed like this, and it is time for the children in the countryside to go to school obediently after being crazy for so long.
Because of Grandma Xie's strong request, Xie Yusi is still in the first grade, the same level as Chen Junfeng.
However, the situation of the two of them is different, Xie Yusi is because he is too young, Grandma Xie feels that he can't learn anything by upgrading so early, and wants to wait for him to be sensible before learning, while Chen Junfeng repeated the grade because of his bad grades.
At this time, there was a system of repeating grades, and Xie Yusi remembered that the most shocking thing at the beginning was that there was a child who read six first grades, and since then he has become a laughing stock for everyone.
Xie Yusi didn't care, he obediently went to the school to register, the only teacher in the school was very kind, he was also Xie Yusi's enlightenment teacher, he had taught Xie Yusi to write at the beginning, and he had a lot of impressions of Xie Yusi.
In the first grade, they don't have a lot of homework, at most they copy some pinyin, and everyone completes it very much, unlike the children of later generations, who are almost buried in their homework.
Xie Yusi went to the old Chinese medicine doctor to learn knowledge at the same time when he was in school, sometimes he just distinguished some medicinal materials, and the old Chinese medicine doctor would also teach him the effects of some medicines, but they were all very simple, and life and more appropriate knowledge, according to the words of the old Chinese medicine, that is, Xie Yusi is still young, learn the simple ones and then slowly learn the difficult ones.
Xie Yusi is very in favor of these, after all, he has not studied before, take your time, and lay a good foundation to learn others.
At the same time, the fruit trees in Xie Yusi's space have grown up, the fruit trees have flowers, pink and white, very beautiful, the whole space is also fragrant with flowers, the petals are blowing everywhere, and the spring water floats a layer, and those watermelons don't seem to be bad in the space, and they have been there well when they are ripe, but they don't grow anymore.
Xie Yusi couldn't help but want to take out the watermelon for Grandma Xie and Chen Junfeng to eat several times, but he didn't know how to explain the origin of the watermelon, and he was very sad.
But there are good things, Xie Yusi said to Grandma Xie very happily after receiving the fruit trees: "Grandma, I heard Uncle Kan say that these fruit trees are good varieties, do you think if we sell the fruit for money, can we make a lot of money?" ”
Grandma Xie rubbed his head and smiled helplessly: "How can it be so easy, let's not talk about whether this fruit tree can bear fruit, even if it bears fruit, what if it bears fruit, everyone has planted it in their homes, who is rare in our family?" I just hope it can bear a few fruits to satisfy your cravings. ”
Xie Yusi didn't say anything when he heard it, this can't be blamed on Grandma Xie's simple thinking, after all, no one in the village plans to go out to do business, there are many people in the village who work outside, but none of them start a business, most of them are looking for some manual hard work.
Being a businessman is something that rural people dare not try, first, because they don't have that ability, and second, they are afraid of losing money.
But Xie Yusi knew that if he wanted to improve the Xie family's life in a short period of time, this was the best way, if he had to wait for him to study as Grandma Xie thought, it would take a long time.
Grandma Xie planned to plant the pear tree in the ground at first, but Xie Yusi said at this time: "Grandma, do you remember the fruit seller we saw last time?" A pound of pears can be sold for three yuan! ”
Grandma Xie thought about it for a while, there seemed to be such a thing, last time she took Xie Yusi to see Xie Bai, the two of them were thirsty on the road, but at that time there was no water selling around, only a fruit store, the fruit was not very good, Grandma Xie thought it was not very expensive, so she went over to ask the price, but she was dumbfounded.
A pound of pears costs three dollars? Moreover, the pears were pitted, not very good-looking, and lacking in moisture, but they had to buy such an expensive price, so scared that Grandma Xie never dared to ask the price of the fruit along the way.
At that time, the stall owner glanced at the two of them disdainfully after hearing Grandma Xie's words, and said, "My fruit is not very good, but where else can you buy it in this place?" Let me tell you, in other places the fruit is also at this price, and my fruit is sold at the same price as the good fruit because it costs to be transported to this place. ”
Grandma Xie admits this, every time there is a car transporting fruits to Chenjia Village to sell, Grandma Xie doesn't go to see it, and she can't afford it, so why bother to lose that face?
Not to mention her, how many people are willing to buy the car when it is transported here? When the time comes, it is not necessary to ship it back as it is, and it will not make any money at all.
Grandma Xie didn't expect that the consumption power of people in the city was not the same as that of people in the countryside, if it was a watermelon like that in Xie Yusi's space, it would definitely be sold at a good price when it was transported to the city.
Now all he has to do is to tell Grandma Xie to plant those fruit trees well, and then take the fruit to the city and sell it, not only to make money, but also to cover him.
But Grandma Xie said that she didn't listen to Xie Yusi's words, in her opinion, how could a child think of so many things, not to mention how much energy she had to take care of those fruit trees, when the time came, it would be the same as not bearing fruit, and if she didn't bear fruit, she would waste her energy and time, and she couldn't buy it in the county town when it bore fruit, maybe she wouldn't be able to earn back the fare.
In her heart, she is a lifelong farmer, do her farm work well, don't take risks, although Grandma Xie is a very shrewd person, but most of the rural people at this time have such thoughts and dare not take risks.
Xie Yusi persuaded Grandma Xie for a night but still couldn't do anything, and finally he had to say that Grandma Xie simply ignored her and pretended to be asleep, Xie Yusi had no choice but to think about it in the long run.
Chen Junfeng pulled Xie Yusi to see the fruit trees he planted early the next morning, Xie Yusi didn't have much energy, and forced himself to take a look, Chen Junfeng was very serious about these fruit trees, all of them were planted well, and they were watered.
He happily said to Xie Yusi: "Sisi, you wait, when this fruit tree bears fruit, I will give you one person to eat except for my family, and no one else will want to pick it." ”
Xie Yusi was a little moved when he heard it, no matter when Chen Junfeng first thought of almost himself, of course, there are good and bad things.
The good thing is that Chen Junfeng must share anything good with Xie Yusi, and he is worried about what is delicious, of course, Xie Yusi is the same, but the bad thing is that as soon as Chen Junfeng has any naughty ideas, the first thing that comes to mind is Xie Yusi.
I remember that when Xie Yugang went to school, he didn't understand anything, Chen Junfeng went a few weeks before Xie Yusi, and Xie Yusi went halfway.
One night, Chen Junfeng happily pulled Xie Yusi to an open space, took out his textbooks, and asked Xie Yusi to bring his own textbooks.
Xie Yusi didn't know what he was going to do at that time, he didn't know what the textbook was used for at that time, and he didn't know the words on the book, so he obediently listened to Chen Junfeng's words and brought the book over.
Then Chen Junfeng, who is mentally retarded, took him to burn the textbook together, burn it!
The mentally handicapped said to Xie Yusi excitedly that this textbook is useless, the teacher has finished speaking, why don't we burn it, build a fire to play, and see that there are color prints on it, how beautiful it looks to burn!
Xie Yusi was stupid back then, thinking that Chen Junfeng was the eldest brother, of course he knew more than himself, as soon as he heard this, burn!
I cheered and said that it was so beautiful, and the fire was really hot, it was really spectacular!
Xie Yusi didn't want to mention much about the later things, how loud Xie Yusi cheered on the day he burned the book, how loud he cried when he was spanked by Grandma Xie the next night, how spectacular the fire burned that day, and how spectacular the ghost cried wolf when he was beaten by Grandma Xie the next day.
Chen Junfeng was also beaten, but he was thick-skinned, and he happily came to Xie Yusi to play after the fight, Xie Yusi, who saw Chen Junfeng's simple smile, felt that this person was poisonous, and there were a bunch of ideas to pit people, and he was afraid.
Thinking of those interesting things in his childhood, Xie Yusi couldn't help laughing, Chen Junfeng didn't know what he was laughing at, so he asked curiously, Xie Yusi said faintly after listening to it: "Do you remember the textbook that we burned at the beginning?" ”
Chen Junfeng said: "Of course, I had a really good time that day, although I was beaten later." ”
After finishing speaking, he laughed stupidly twice, Xie Yusi hurriedly stopped the topic, he was afraid that he would arouse Chen Junfeng's strange thoughts again.
Grandma Xie still didn't agree to plant fruit trees to make money, Xie Yusi had no choice but to coquettish with Grandma Xie: "I don't need grandma to take care of those fruit trees, I can go myself, can grandma give me those fruit trees?" I will surely grow good fruit. ”
Grandma Xie originally disagreed, she was afraid that Xie Yusi would delay her studies, but she was really troubled and had no choice, so she casually responded to him, and she didn't pay attention at that time, thinking that Xie Yusi was just a whim.
Xie Yusi took care of the fruit trees after they were planted, preventing insects and birds, and went to fertilize every once in a while, in order to make those fruit trees grow faster, he even secretly used some water in the space to irrigate.
Those water are very precious, Xie Yusi usually secretly uses it to make tea for Grandma Xie, after drinking the water, Grandma Xie's whole spirit is much better, and she is not as tired as before when she comes back every night, and the dishes that Grandpa Xie brought to the mine are also made of water in the space, the two old men don't know this, and they think that their bodies have strong recovery ability.
Grandma Xie, who didn't take Xie Yusi's words to heart, was shocked, and a year later, the fruit trees that Xie Yusi took care of were fruitful, and Grandma Xie picked one and tasted it, not to mention the big one, the taste was very good, how could she not be shocked.
Looking at other people's houses, all of them are only a little bigger than eggs, not as good as their own, and not as much as their own, that night she began to seriously consider what Xie Yusi had said before.
She didn't know how Xie Yusi usually took care of these fruit trees, but after a child carefully fertilized, this fruit tree can grow so well, so if it is they adults to get it, wouldn't it be better, Grandma Xie doesn't know about the spring, but simply thinks that adults are better than children.
There are so many fruits in the field that can't be wasted, and Grandma Xie used to have no bottom in her heart, but after seeing these fruits, she was a little more sure.
The people in the village watched that his family's fruit was good, and Grandma Xie was also generous, and each person sent three catties to the family, but in this way, there were still about 100 catties of fruit, and she had to deal with it quickly.
Xie Yusi ate the fruit and said lazily: "Grandma, I'm right, this fruit grows so well that it can be sold in the city for money." ”
Grandma Xie thought about it and finally decided to call Grandpa Xie.
Xie Yusi knew at a glance that this had happened, and his efforts in the past year had not been in vain.
In the future, the Xie family will have a good life!
