Chapter Ninety-Six: Freedom and Independence Are More Important Than Face

Many things always have to be experienced by themselves to have a very specific and vivid memory, in fact, in the countryside, Xu Shu also picked up waste products and sent them to Feng Lan's house to sell. But she didn't think much about it at the time...... Now, when I came to the scrap yard by myself, it was much more concrete.

Iron, paper, plastic...... There are so many things to sell!

In this way, as long as you are willing to do it, you can live a better life in the city than in the countryside......

It took more than thirty minutes to help Feng Lan unload the goods, and Xu Shu looked at the time (she has a watch, which she bought when she got married for the first time. Hey, it's almost four o'clock, and I have to go back to cooking.

"Come to my house for dinner...... It's a bit shabby, though. Xu Shu greeted the driver and Feng Lan.

"No...... I also had to go meet up with my cousin, who came out with me to see her classmate, who had just given birth...... We made an appointment to have dinner together. Feng Lan said, in fact, she knew in her heart that Xu Shu's life was not easy, so she could try not to disturb if she didn't bother.

"That's right...... Then I won't keep you, and I'll play with me tomorrow when I'm free, I'm all at home. ”

"Well, that's ......"

Saying so, it is just polite, Feng Lan did not come to Xu Shu again.

Feng Lan is very busy, she wants to inherit the family business, the burden falls on her shoulders, she can't wait to be able to conjure three heads and six arms, of course, she also knows that Xu Shu is very busy. In addition, when Xu Shu, who was a mother, and Feng Lan, who was not married, did not have much contact with each other in the countryside, they lacked the hope of chatting together.

Therefore, Feng Lan didn't come to Xu Shu, Xu Shu was not strange at all, but she was a little disappointed.

The two encounters with Feng Lan inspired Xu Shu and gave her a way or channel to change poverty.

The salary is not high, so Xu Shu has to find a way to earn some extra blocks on holidays.

The first thing that came to her mind was to wholesale small things for free.

It's the eleventh holiday, and if you're idle, let's get started.

The first thing she picked was socks, the kind of socks that sell two yuan or two yuan and five corners a pair in the store at a wholesale price of one yuan, but three boxes of a total of 36 pairs of batches.

Socks, elastic, not afraid of inappropriate size, she approved three boxes of adults, by the way approved two boxes of children, a total of 60 yuan, in case it can't be sold, it will not be wasted if you give it away or wear it yourself.

At the beginning, she took it to the square and sold it quietly, two dimes cheaper than the store, one yuan eighty-one pair.

When she came to the city, she also knew that there was such a thing as chengguan, and she couldn't set up a stall casually.

There was a risk in this matter, so Xu Shu didn't let Liu Ming and Xu Jie participate and left them in the rented room to study.

She was like a thief, first squatting at a point, she couldn't tell who was the chengguan, and when she saw someone in work clothes coming, she immediately carried her bag and left. She was ready, in case she was caught up by the chengguan, she quibbled: "Ah, I bought it and happened to pass ......by" However, the plot she wrote and directed herself in her mind really didn't appear.

Finally, someone came over and asked for a price.

"One dollar eight? For one dollar and five, I will buy two pairs. "Ah, it's two cents cheaper than in the store, and you have to bargain? However, Xu Shu is not annoyed, this is not

, a pair still has five cents to earn.

"That...... That one...... Then I'll only earn you a dime...... Alas, well, the first business, I was in passing. Obviously there is a profit, but Xu Shu still pretends to be a grievance that almost loses money.

"Ah...... Then I'll buy four pairs of ......" As a result, the other party was a little unbearable, but he was reluctant to give up the cheap, "You have small profits and quick turnover, so you will earn four cents." ”

"Alas...... Okay, next time the business ......" Xu Shu pretended to be a little reluctant and asked the other party to pick four pairs.

After the business was completed, she suddenly smiled: Hey, yes, I really earned two yuan in one breath.

After making a business, she hurriedly moved to the battlefield so as not to be caught and fined.

After the first pot of gold two yuan arrived, the next was much smoother, and she really sold more than a dozen pairs in half a day, and she also found out the experience, even if it was called a pair of yuan and nine corners, everyone felt that it was cheaper than the store, and they would come to ask. There are also young people who are better dressed and buy them without telling me a dime.

Some people are born to recite business scriptures, such as Xu Shu, in fact, to put it bluntly, it should be said that Xu Shu is a good piece of material, what is it like, she can also recite the way out of the door when she reads business scriptures, that is, the helper in the canteen, she is also quite competent, everything is arranged in an orderly manner...... It's just that the personal value that can be embodied as a helper is limited, and the remuneration is relatively low.

No, after selling socks successfully, she began to expand her business.

From the beginning of the scattered running to sell, to the later acquaintances to order directly, even the school teacher will buy things from her in private: cheaper than the store, the goods are the same goods, who is not happy to buy cheap?

But it's still risky to do this, no, people in the physical store will report her.

She is also smart, and when she saw that the chengguan was coming, she immediately made hot tea and greeted her with a smile.

"Oh, I don't have a decent stool in this 'pig's nest', I'm really embarrassed......" Her face was also very cooperative, and it turned red instantly.

Naturally, the chengguan also knew about the original situation in this area: this was indeed a place where pigs were raised!

Coincidentally, Xu Jie happened to come in the door again and called "Mom" in a low voice.

You see, this orphan and widow looked pitiful, and the city management was moved with compassion and forgot the purpose of his trip.

"That...... Be safe, watch out for candles. ”

"Yes, yes, the master is right, I must be careful!" Then she nodded and smiled, and almost treated the other party as a bodhisattva.

We ordinary people, don't say how strong you are and how righteous you are, if someone worships you incomparably, or even worships you like a god, you will lose your principles.

No, the chengguan who wanted to come for a training and confiscate the "private goods" by the way, only took a symbolic glance at Xu Shu's belongings, and left with a haha.

After being reported like this, Xu Shu also learned to be obedient.

Even if the money earned a day is higher than that of being a helper, Xu Shu still keeps a low profile and does not like to show it.

She would say that she only earns a dime or two, and that the small shop will have a monthly fee

, the money earned is also small, and then quietly told the buyer, "Don't make a noise, I sell cheaper than the store, I really don't make money, that is, for the sake of the situation, if you let the people in the store know, it will be difficult for us to continue to do this business......"

The more she did this, the more the person who bought it wanted to tell her acquaintances: Ah, go to her and buy it, it's really a good deal.

This second piece of outer block is naturally a waste collection.

Feng Lan's sale of waste products from her hometown to a small county town also touched Xu Shu, and she found that this was also a good job, which not only beautified the environment but also benefited from it.

However, borrowing things from others, or reaching out to ask for food when Xu Jie was very young, Xu Shu was able to pull his face and be cheeky, picking up garbage......

If you have the ability, change your role and become a waste collector instead of a waste picker, then it will feel different...... However, she didn't have much money in her pocket to collect scrap.

One weekend in November, when the wholesale items at home had not yet been sold, she didn't want to go to hide in Tibet anymore to sell, and wanted to do something else for a while, so she thought of collecting scrap.

Where do you pick up waste? How can you pick up something decent?

Just when she was planning how to pick up the rags decently, two of Xu Jie's classmates came to play with Xu Jie.

Xu Shu told Xu Jie that classmates are welcome to come to their homes to play, but don't go to other people's houses easily, the first is that she is not easy to find, and the second is that we are countrymen, and there is a gap between us and the people in the city.

Therefore, it is basically classmates who come to Xu Jie to play.

Xu Jie's two classmates are taller than Xu Jie, and judging from their clothes, their family backgrounds are similar.

"Shall we play chess?" One of the classmates proposed.

"Good ......" Xu Jie agreed, so he ran to the "bedroom" (separated by a layer of cloth) to get chess.

Just when Xu Jie went to look for chess, the two classmates chatted.

Normally, Xu Shu doesn't interfere with the children, but this time the conversation between the two of them caught her attention, perhaps because their words happened to sore her spot.

"What does your mom do?" One asked.

"My mom is a doctor, and she treats people." Another classmate replied proudly.

"Wow, your mom is amazing."

"Where's your mother?"

"My mom doesn't have a job...... the boy bowed his head, as if embarrassed.

"Who does laundry in your house? Who cooks? Who sweeps the floor? Who picks you up? Xu Shu couldn't help but ask the classmate who lowered his head.

"It's all my mother'......" the boy replied quickly, with a look on his face that he was still asking.

"Then your mother does more work than your father! How do you say that there is no job? Your mom is awesome! There's so much work to do. Xu Shu said with a smile, her tone was as gentle as possible, so as not to disgust the child.

When the child heard Xu Shu praise his mother, his mood suddenly improved.

Tong Yan Wuji, the two children have forgotten the content of the chat just now, but Xu Shu has not forgotten.

Xu Shu is actually lonely, and the happiness brought to her by every breakthrough is quickly defeated by new problems.

Selling things privately always feels like pulling the curtains and doing bad things

, although that's not really bad. Picking up garbage is trying to be as open-minded as possible, no one will report it, and no one will run on it...... But......

The words of the two children made Xu Shu even more hesitant.

She is not afraid that she will be laughed at, but she is afraid that Xiao Xu Jie and Liu Ming will be ridiculed by their classmates. She doesn't want to pass on her anxiety to her children, but she can't sway other people's eyes and thoughts.

Picking up garbage near the rented house is obviously inappropriate, their pig nest is so close to the primary school, what should I do if Xu Jie's classmates see it? If Xu Jie is still ignorant, no matter what, it won't hurt him.

Why don't you get a second-hand tricycle and write the words "protect the environment and collect waste" to pick up waste and collect it by the way? Well, it's a good idea, and in the name of "environmental protection" to pick up and collect waste, it's suddenly high-...... You won't be laughed at, will you? Anyway, the two babies really participated in the school's painting interest class, and their painting level is not bad.

"Liu Ming, Xu Jie, don't you know how to draw? Draw me two pictures, one is a clean city and the other is a beautiful landscape painting, can you paint it? ”

The two children didn't know what to do, but they replied very cheerfully: Of course they can!
