Tian Shao took Li Sankui to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought paper, pencils, salt, soy sauce and other daily necessities, and bought straw paper for five cents.

Out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Tian Shao found a shady place to sit down and said to Li Sankui: "The peaches sent here can no longer be put in baskets like before." It must be placed layer by layer, each layer must be covered with licorice or dead leaves, and the peaches must be wrapped in straw paper so that they are not easily punctured. ”

It's also in a hurry, otherwise people will make up a basket for fruits. It's also that she didn't think about it before, so she can only wait for next time.

"Sister, don't be so troublesome, right?"

Tian Shao glanced at him and said, "Our peaches are half a catty big and two or three taels small, and if you crush one, it will cost two or three cents." Do you say it's better to trouble somewhat, or is it better to crush the peaches? ”

Fools know how to choose, Li Sankui grinned and showed a mouth full of white teeth: "Sister, I was wrong, I will listen to you in the future." ”

Tian Shao shook his head and said, "Don't listen to me, when you see a lot in the future, you should make your own decisions." Okay, it's not early, you hurry back to Tianjia Village, and enter the mountain early tomorrow. ”

Li Sankui replied and said, "Sister, this Fei Ge is generous, and our mushroom fungus can be sold to him." ”

Tian Shao shook his head and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, I have to understand the market first and then negotiate with him, and you can also explain this matter to your uncle and aunt." ”

Li Sankui scratched his head embarrassedly. He stayed at Tian's house that night, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night because he was so excited. I rushed home as soon as it was dawn, and when I saw Uncle Li at home, I couldn't wait to tell him about it.

Uncle Li's first reaction was that Tian Shao had been deceived, in his heart, there were too many liars in the city and Tian Shao had never been out, so it was easy to be targeted by scammers.

Li Sankui shook his head and said, "No, no, my cousin said that Brother Fei was introduced by a friend she trusted." Dad, Feige gave a price of eight cents a catty, which is more than four times higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. ”

After speaking, he took out the deposit and said, "Dad, they also gave a deposit of fifteen yuan, it can't be a liar." ”

Uncle Li scolded the rabbit cub and immediately called his wife and the others back: "Go pick peaches, all the ripe ones are picked." ”

In previous years, 400 catties of peaches could only be sold for 6 yuan, but now the other party has given a deposit of 15 yuan. Even if it's a liar, they don't lose money, so there's no hesitation in this deal.

Although Li Sankui found it troublesome to wrap the peaches in straw paper and spread hay, he still told his family about the peaches after they were picked home.

Uncle Li slapped him over, and Li Sankui almost knelt on the ground: "You rabbit cub, don't say such an important thing." In the future, your cousin will have to tell us everything in 1510, and you can't miss a word, and I will kill you if you make a mistake. ”

My niece has a lot of brains to study, and it's not wrong to listen to her.

Uncle Li hunted in the mountains, and sometimes he had to spend the night outside chasing prey, so he was not afraid to travel at night. After dinner, the father and son went to rest, and slept until about ten o'clock, and the four father and son set off with peaches.

Uncle Li walked in the front, holding a torch with a fire tong, and the three brothers Li Dakui were carrying peaches behind.

After all the men in the family went out, Li's second sister-in-law happily said to Aunt Li: "Mother, there are a lot of peach trees hanging fruit this year, and you can pick about 2,000 catties more." For six cents a catty, our family can sell peaches for more than 100 yuan this year. ”

These peach trees were bought from the provincial capital by Grandpa Li more than ten years ago, and I don't know what variety. Later, the fruit was hung, because the taste was good and could be sold for money, the family has been carefully serving, and now it has become one of the important economic sources of the family.

The eldest aunt looked at her and said meaningfully: "The eldest girl remembered that our family was good to her, so she helped us find a way." If it's like your second uncle's family, do you think she will help? ”

Second Uncle Li's daughter-in-law, Chen Honglian, is very powerful, and the eldest girl used to occasionally take her sister into the mountains to live for a few days. Don't talk about snacks, I haven't given a few bites of food to the eldest sisters. Later, Chen Honglian's two younger brothers had accidents and disappeared, and their family moved to the Chen family. Li Gui had heavy bleeding when he was a twin, and Tian Dalin went to Li's second uncle's house to borrow money, not only borrowed a penny, but was also ridiculed by Chen Honglian.

Li Guihua was so angry that she didn't want to deal with this brother anymore. However, over the years, Second Uncle Li has come to the door several times, in the end, it is a brother and sister, and after many times, Li Guihua relented and resumed contact.

The eldest aunt deliberately said this because the second sister-in-law Li saw that Uncle Li always sent things to the Tian family, and she secretly muttered many times because of the meat and mountain goods.

Second sister-in-law Li blushed and said, "Mother, I'm young and ignorant, and I want my mother to teach me more." ”

This made the eldest aunt very useful, and said: "If there is spare strength between relatives, help us, so that they will help us when they get up in the future." ”

In fact, helping the Tian family back then was completely about blood and family affection, not for anything in return. Although the eldest girl said that she would repay them in the future, the husband and wife were only happy that the child knew that gratitude was not taken to heart. I didn't expect that one day, this kid would really help them. is still right, the eldest girl is smart, as long as he is enlightened, he is definitely the most promising child in the family. I didn't expect to be really enlightened to save someone, so I have to do good deeds, and good people have good rewards.

Second sister-in-law Li nodded again and again: "Mother, I know." ”

"Your father and I don't help anyone, we don't have a good character, we can get by like your second uncle and aunt."

Back then, the sister-in-law was almost gone, and she borrowed money from the second child to support her body, and she couldn't count on anything else if her life was at stake. If it weren't for the fact that her mother-in-law was still alive, she wouldn't be happy to associate with her.

Because each basket was covered with several layers of hay, the weight was reduced a lot, and Uncle Li walked much faster. Expecting a six-hour journey, it took them only five hours to arrive.

Uncle Li was more cautious, first found a hidden place for his three sons to hide, and he waited alone in the agreed place. After more than half an hour, someone came, and the slogan was confronted with the person, and Uncle Li called the three brothers out.

This man walked with the father and son for about ten minutes and then turned into a small road, Li Erkui looked more and more worried: "Dad, let's really follow?" ”

Uncle Li was not afraid, and said, "What are you afraid of? I can still ask for your life, your life is not worth anything, hurry up. ”

The main thing is that the other party has already given money, and he is not afraid that they will rob things. As for saying that the other party will be bad for them, that is even more unlikely. What are you doing to harm them without injustice or hatred, if you are caught by the police, you will eat guns.

After walking on the trail for more than ten minutes, I walked up the hill again, and came to a broken temple mouth after several turns. The man told them to put the baskets into the ruined temple, and then led them to another path, saying, "Follow this road until you reach the main road." ”

Seeing him turn around and leave, Er Kui hurriedly asked: "The peaches we sent this time are two hundred and sixty catties, and the price according to the agreement is twenty yuan and eight, and you gave me a deposit of fifteen yuan, and you have to give me five yuan and eight cents." ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, and then said expressionlessly: "I only care about receiving the goods, not about the money." ”

After saying this, the other party walked away quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Erkui wanted to catch up, but Uncle Li grabbed his arm: "Go back." ”

"Dad, he hasn't paid the balance yet!"

Uncle Li said helplessly: "Everyone has said that they don't care about money, and it's useless for you to catch up." Okay, I have my own idea about this, so you don't care. ”

How can it not be left alone? That's five dollars and eight cents, and the couple only saved ten dollars of private money after saving for two years.

Li Sankui explained: "Second brother, people are big dealers, and they won't rely on us for this money." ”

Yesterday they gave the peaches to Feige, and the other party turned around and gave them a bag of things. When I came out, I opened it and realized that it was filled with candy, canned meat, rich flour and other good things, which were worth a lot of money.

Fei Ge was so generous, how could he rely on their few dollars. However, the pastries and canned meat that Tian Shao gave him were eaten up halfway, so he didn't mention them when he got home.

Li Dakui said humbly: "Even if we don't pay the bills, we won't lose anything." ”

When they arrived at the main road, Uncle Li asked Li Dakui to go back with Li Erkui, and he wanted to take his youngest son into the county seat. Li Erkui was reluctant and said that he wanted to go into the city with Uncle Li. It's a pity that this proposal was rejected by Uncle Li, Li Erkui still has a lot of eyes, but he doesn't dare to let him meet this ancient brother, otherwise who knows what will happen.

Li Erkui was unwilling but did not dare to disobey his father's words, and reluctantly followed Li Dakui back.

Uncle Li went to Gu Fei first, and discussed that the second batch of goods would be handed over at four o'clock in the morning like this time: "Then ...... this money?"

Gu Fei understood when he heard it, and said with a smile: "As long as we are sure that the goods are fine, the balance will be paid to you in a lot." ”

If it's cheating, for Brother Le's sake, it won't matter, but he won't deal with it again in the future. To be on the safe side, the place had to be abandoned.

Uncle Li said with a smile: "I naturally trust my little brother." The family is very busy now, I won't come after I send something tomorrow, please trouble you to give this money to my eldest girl. ”

Gu Fei nodded and said, "Uncle Li, I forgot to tell the eldest sister before, the price of crushed peaches has to be calculated separately." ”

Uncle Li chuckled in his heart, but said very boldly on his face: "Don't forget it, it's all for your brothers to eat." ”

Gu Fei felt that he was acting magnificently, and said with a smile: "This is not good, it is not easy for you to pick peaches out of the mountains, how can you eat them for nothing!" Crushed peaches are two cents a pound, what do you think? ”

Crushed peaches could not be sold, so they were given to the brothers to eat when the time came.

This price is better than the good peaches sold before, and Uncle Li agreed without hesitation.

Gu Fei said again: "Uncle Li, I still collect mountain goods here, as long as the things are good, the price is not a problem." ”

Uncle Li responded and said with a smile: "Little brother is so bold, I must have sent good things to you." ”

He does have a few good things in his hands, including several pieces of skin, but he doesn't know the market and decides to listen to the advice of the big girl first. This incident made Tian Shao's status in Uncle Li's heart rise sharply, surpassing the three brothers Li Dakui.
