Just when other people's families were making various preparations for the New Year, Ji Baojin's family of four sighed around a bamboo basket, the bamboo basket was the bean sprouts that Ji Liu's spent several days working to make, the color was not fresh, thin and curved, some had grown fibrous roots, and some released green leaves, not to mention selling, their own family members had no appetite to look at.

"The bean sprouts made by Nuan Nuan are white and plump, mother, what are you doing, I don't like to eat them for pigs." Ji Ruixue watched for a while, got up and sat aside, and if he looked at it for a while, he would save lunch.

"Don't talk to that dead girl in front of me, she's just a little monster, I've worked hard for five or six days, and the things I got out were actually compared to a five-year-old girl, is this something that a normal person can do?" Ji Liu didn't expect that raw bean sprouts were so difficult, the temperature was high, and it was not good if it was low, it was easy to rot when it was always put on the kang, and the temperature on the ground could not keep up with the slow growth of bean sprouts, not to mention, the shape was not good-looking.

Liu Xiuhong got a handful of dried fruits out of nowhere, chewing "Gaba, Gaba", Ji Baojin especially looked down on this little daughter-in-law, thought about the virtue of his youngest son, and had to endure it with anger.

"Mother, let's produce green beans, and let that girl help with the raw bean sprouts, isn't it over? Didn't the eldest brother say before that we would take green beans and send back as many sprouts as we wanted? Liu Xiuhong is the same as her mother-in-law, she only thinks about what is good for herself, what kind of cheek, what the other party's thoughts are not in her consideration.

Ji Liu really went to the warehouse to scoop a pot of green beans, and specially weighed a total of twelve catties, she asked her youngest son to send the green beans to Ji Ruinian's house, and said that the family would give gifts in the New Year, and let them give some bean sprouts.

Ji Ruinian and Ji Nuan didn't care, and asked Ji Ruixue to come to pick up the bean sprouts the next morning, Ji Liu's got up before dawn, and called his wife, son, and daughter-in-law up, and instructed them to set up a car and take the bean sprouts.

Knowing that his grandfather's family had a lot of things, Ji Nuan put their bean sprouts aside alone, because their green beans were not carefully picked, there were bad beans and a lot of broken beans in them, Ji Nuan washed them and poured out the bad beans and soaked them. The bean sprouts were taken home and Ji Liu weighed them again, only sixty-five catties, seven catties different from the seventy-two catties she wanted to estimate.

"Hey, didn't the eldest brother say that no matter how many sprouts are born, they will be given to us? Why is it seven pounds missing! Liu Xiuhong fanned the flames on the side.

"Those seven catties of bean sprouts should be used as the cost of hiring her to produce bean sprouts, old man, I don't owe your eldest son, don't say anything that makes me appreciate it!" Ji Liu said with a triangular eye roll.

Ji Baojin didn't say anything, he was thinking that these bean sprouts could be sold by going to the village and going to the village, there was no need to go to the county seat, and it would not be good to be seen and said by those who wholesale tofu. The girl from the old family probably won't help anymore, and I don't know how she used to make the bean sprouts, which are white and chubby, and I like them when I look at them, which are much better than the bean sprouts that my wife made by herself.

Ji Liu's told his wife to go to the county seat to sell while loading the car, and heard that people at the city gate came and went to make money doing small business there, Ji Baojin asked his youngest son to clean up and sell bean sprouts with him, Ji Ruixue was full of reluctance, Ji Liu coaxed him to buy a bowl of wontons to eat after selling bean sprouts, and then he followed the car.

Hearing that there were wontons to eat, Liu Xiuhong also wanted to follow, Ji Baojin threw the whip that drove the livestock on the ground with a "snap": "Why don't you two go, I'm at home, these bean sprouts can be sold for a few dollars, and you two have a bowl of wontons left." "This little daughter-in-law is far worse than the other two daughters-in-law in terms of life, she is greedy and lazy, if she is not his wife's own niece, she is estimated to be scolded every day.

"Don't go to Xiuhong, let's drink a bowl of paste at home." Ji Liu gave his niece a look, there were more than a dozen eggs at home, and after the two left, they took out three eggs, and they steamed a bowl of egg custard to eat.

Ji Ruixue was full of joy and waited to enter the county seat to eat wontons, but he didn't expect his father to pull him to a village and shout: "Dad, aren't we going to the county seat to sell bean sprouts?" ”

"What are we doing in the county with more than 60 catties of bean sprouts, and they are sold out when we go to the village."

"Then my wonton ...... "I haven't eaten in the morning, do I have to wait until I finish selling the bean sprouts and go home to eat, then I won't be half hungry to death."

"Ruixue, your mother and I are old, and I can take care of you for a few years, when will you be able to stand up like a man and support your daughter-in-law and children." Ji Baojin was about to die of worry about this son who didn't grow up and didn't fight.

"My mother said that if I have something to find my eldest brother in the future, he won't just ignore it." Ji Ruixue is not worried at all, he can't starve to death if he has a house to live in and a land, he is really short of money to ask his eldest brother for help, he is still good to his younger brother, and he doesn't want a lot of silver, it is nothing for the eldest brother to ask for one or two taels at a time.

What about the seven sons of the old family, marrying a daughter-in-law gets a lot of silver, and their family doesn't know who cares: "Ruixue, it's temporary for others to help you, if you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself to know?" ”

"I'm not in good health and can't farm."

Ji Baojin shook his head, the youngest son was raised by his wife and was greedy and lazy, and that Liu Xiuhong was a natural pair, he had already developed such a character, and now it's too late to change it, let's mix it up like this first, and when I close my eyes and stretch my legs, I won't worry about it, and I can't manage it if I want to.

Retracting his thoughts, Ji Baojin began to shout and sell bean sprouts, three cents a pound is quite easy to sell, walked two villages, and sold out before noon, and the two of them counted and sold a total of 190 yuan.

"If we also sell water tofu, dried tofu will definitely make more, dad, you talk to the eldest brother and let us sell tofu, you can earn a tael of silver in two days, and we can also eat meat during the New Year."

This deal is really good, Ji Baojin is also alive, and promised to go back to discuss with his eldest son, they thought that the sale of bean sprouts was unaware, but they didn't expect that Xue'er knew about it and told Ji Nuan.

"They're really embarrassed...... Ji Nuan didn't know how to describe her mood, Xue'er asked her if Ji Liu tasted the sweetness today, and wouldn't she come to her tomorrow to help make bean sprouts.

Ji Nuan found his eldest brother and mother-in-law, and told his grandfather what they had done: "Where did Dad go?" ”

"I was found by my grandfather." Ji Lianqiu gave her sister a look that you are late, Ji Nuan sat with big eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, about half an hour later, Ji Ruinian came home, and the family tacitly avoided the topic of him going out, Ji Nuan wanted to know what his father was going to do.

"The old man wants to sell tofu like the second uncle...... I didn't say yes. ”

This answer was beyond Ji Nuan's expectations, seeing that his family had seen it, Ji Ruinian explained: "The old man said that he would sell it in the past few days, and he wouldn't sell it if he had saved enough money for the New Year, I think it would be difficult to say after this matter began, and maybe it would involve the Liu family again." Besides, the old man has to do it himself, no one can help, he is also a lot of age, I don't want him to be too tired. ”
