Time slowly erased all of Ma Xiu'e's discomfort in a Wang Defa family, and time slowly integrated her into the big circle in the town.

In the golden autumn of October, it is the busiest time in the town, the apple trees planted by Li Yueping herself, the first year of this year, Wang Defa's fruit cellar business, has also entered the peak season, everything is busy.

Neighbors looking at Ma Xiu'e shuttling between fruit trees, generally have two moods, one is to look at Ma Xiu'e and think of the former Li Yueping, the scene in front of him really confirms the sentence, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade; Secondly, it is a constant praise for Ma Xiu'e, a woman from the countryside, who came to the town and adapted to the new environment as quickly as she could, the key is that the work under her hands is even better than that of men.

Everyone envies Wang Defa, and envies this old accountant who violates laws and disciplines, cheats for personal gain, and fills his own pockets, why is his life so good, and he is so capable of finding a woman with his eyes closed.

Wang Defa recognizes Ma Xiu'e 100%, and she is very relieved about everything, which also allows him to free up time to devote himself to his own business.

The reason why the two people quarrel now, ten times, nine times may be caused by the conflict between the child, they believe that when the doll grows up, this conflict will gradually decrease.

Wang Chenglong went to junior high school, and he was under a lot of pressure to study, as if he had changed overnight, and he had to go to school for evening self-study at night, and he had less and less time to get along with Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e, and there was almost no time to play with his younger brothers and sisters.

One of the most important manifestations of mature children may be that at a certain time period, they talk less and think more in their heads. Wang Chenglong does not have too many complaints and dissatisfaction with his family now, she feels that this family is hers, and the way back is her own, she studies hard, she wants to get out of the town, out of this home, when one day her wings are hard, when she can fly by herself, come back again, and see this home.

Wang Chenglong has grown up completely.

The apple trees of Wang De's fortune bear fruit in the first year of this year, and the strength of the fruit trees is uneven, the apples on some trees are large, and the apples on some trees are small.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e first picked the apples on their trees and put them in the library, and they were all picked in about three days.

If you are small and can't sell it for money, you can't eat it at home, Ma Xiu'e pushes a rack car on the street every day, goes to sell it at retail, and sells as much as you can.

The apples in the town have been famous in recent years, as soon as they arrive around the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, merchants from other places come early, and the purpose of their coming is very simple, to harvest their favorite fruits as soon as possible, and never wait for the price to rise.

In this way, the apple industry has formed a contest between large forces, and the local fruit cellar business wants to put away the apples at a low price, store them in the fruit cellar, and wait for the opportunity to sell them again after the price rises, so as to make a little difference, while the merchants from other places do not want the local fruit cellar businessmen to smoke a layer of skin in the middle link.

The competition arises.

In order to grab the source of fruit with local businessmen, they will make the price a little too high on the existing basis, of course, this kind of too high still does not affect their room for making money.

A business like Wang Defa is a headache. If you want to receive apples, you have to increase the price, and the settlement method is not like the first few years, you can write a purchase and sale contract, and then settle the bill after the unified sale, the fruit farmers have been fed by the merchants can only use cash, otherwise, the price is more appropriate, and no one is willing to hand over their apples to the fruit cellar.

This is not only the confusion faced by Wang Defa, but also the problem of Apple businessmen in the whole town. Wang Defa went to the Fortune Fruit Center in the county, and the problem encountered by Boss Gao was also such a problem. Everyone hopes that the county can introduce a policy, and this kind of competition will do no harm.

It's a pity that such a policy, at present, the county has intervened, competition is a good thing, and in the end, it is to help the fruit farmers exchange apples for money, and the county also has tax revenue.

One day when eating, Wang Defa kept sighing, and Ma Xiu'e asked while eating, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong with sighing? ”

"It's nothing, forced by these merchants from the south, the fruit cellar is still half empty! Can't get apples. Wang Defa said.

"Then you put the price a little too high, make less money, it's better than not earning, the price you charge is so low, now, in the peak season of apple harvest, whoever gives the highest price will sell it to whom!" Ma Xiu'e said.

"The merchant from other places, the biggest cost is freight, the money earned is all his own, we are different, the money for repairing the fruit cellar, this year is really paid off, labor costs, small distance freight, that is all their own money, how can you fight with others price, fight a price war, can't afford to fight."

"And you're leaving the cellar empty? Beware of the growers who have already sold you apples and regret asking you to take them. Ma Xiu'e deliberately stimulated Wang Defa.

"Shut your crow's mouth, baa, we're evil here, don't talk nonsense."

"I just deliberately got angry with you! But I do have a caveat, I don't know if you think it's feasible or not! ”

Anyway, at dinner at night, it's nothing when it's dark, Wang Chenglong has already gone to self-study in the evening, Wang Laidi took his younger brother and sister to lie on the kang to do homework, and Wang Defa chatted with Ma Xiu'e.

"What attention, you tell me, I'll listen!" Wang Defa answered her completely out of the perspective of cooperating with Ma Xiu'e in chatting.

"Do you think that whether it is the merchant or you, the price of apples offered to the fruit growers is high or low?" Ma Xiu'e asked.

"High, of course high, that's a dollar faster than five or six years!" Wang Defa said.

"Do you think this price is competitive in other places?"

"This price is high everywhere! Hey, it's fucking in our county, and I don't even look down on it, and I don't want to sell it! Wang Defa was guided by Ma Xiu'e, and he sighed again.

"yes, you don't know what the problem is! Hahaha," Ma Xiu'e said to Wang Defa with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's talk about you men, sometimes this brain is really not as good as a woman, you don't analyze your own words well."

"What's that? What is the analysis? I'm telling the truth! Wang Defa was confused.

"Then I'll tell you, you can see if it makes sense."

"You say."

"You said it yourself, the price you gave is definitely high enough, but you can't receive apples in our town, the surrounding villages, or even the whole county, why? Because there are a large number of merchants in the county who are competing with you for business. They robbed because they had money, we didn't have money, why did they sit back and wait to die, watching them collect hard! Right? You've got to get moving, my house is far away from town, right? Far from the prefecture, right? ”

"Yes, it's quite far, if you take a few more steps, we are not from the same county, it can be regarded as a cross-county marriage."

"Yes, many of the farmers around us, including those in the next county, are also planting apple trees! Then there are not so many merchants going, why is this? ”

"In the surrounding counties, the climatic conditions, how can the apples grown be as delicious as ours, who eats those apples!"

Wang Defa has received apples for so many years, only from this county, and the county's current apples are a little famous in the country.

"Old man, don't you understand it now?" Ma Xiu'e asked.

Wang Defa shook his head, still in the clouds.

"Oh, it's really brainless, I'll tell you straight, the apples grown in the surrounding counties are because there are few merchants and no sales channels every year, and the price is particularly low, of course, the apples don't taste as good as ours. But there is one thing, the price is low! ”

"You mean, I staggered the peak period of merchant acquisitions and went to the surrounding counties to collect apples?"

"That's right!"

"I'm sick in the head, then the apple is recovered, no matter how low the price is, I'm afraid it will be in my hands."

"Why can't you turn your brain? You take the apples back and store them in your cellar, where is your cellar? It's in our town, it's in our county, as long as you don't say it, who knows that your apple is not the county's apple? No more, haven't you already collected half of the apples in the cellar, mixed them together, half of the county, half of the county, and half of the county, besides, as long as you go to the other county to buy, you will keep the price to the lowest, think about it, are you still worried? ”

was mentioned by Ma Xiu'e like this, Wang Defa's brain was like a gear, and he turned all of a sudden.

"You mean, heck, you've got all the ideas in your head! Yes, yes, you have to be flexible when doing business! You have a good idea, why didn't you say it earlier! It's been a delay for almost a week. ”

"You didn't ask me earlier!"

"Xiu'e, you are the same as my ex-wife Li Yueping, your brain is very active!" Wang Defa didn't know which tendon was wrong, and said such a sentence.

"Then you can ask her in the future! Talk to me less! After Ma Xiu'e finished speaking, she stacked the empty bowls on the table and went to the kitchen.

Only then did Wang Defa know that what he just said should not be.

Ma Xiu'e provided him with this idea, Wang Defa thought about it all night, and really felt that it was feasible, he scolded himself in his heart, just his brain, he could still do business, it was really shit luck, when Li Yueping was there, Li Yueping gave him ideas, and now it has been replaced by Ma Xiu'e, if it weren't for these two people, he felt that this fruit cellar business would have been yellow a long time ago.

Since the next day, Wang Defa has rarely appeared in the town, and every morning early in the morning, he and a small truck he hired go out.

In the first few days, he was just inspecting and familiarizing himself with the situation in several neighboring counties, and the specific situation was very similar to what Ma Xiu'e said.

He also inquired about the price, which was on average six cents lower than the price in his own county, and in some remote places, if it could not be sold, the price would be lower.

Ma Xiu'e's method is feasible. Wang Defa didn't say anything about this matter, he was afraid that as soon as the news leaked out, everyone would follow suit, and the price would be raised again.

Wang De's daily salary for drivers, except for money, is eighty a day. The two of them went out with the moon on their heads for more than half a month, and then came back with the moon on their heads.

Ma Xiu'e was not idle, and after cooking dinner for the children and the elderly every day, she went to the fruit cellar to wait for Wang Defa to come back. No matter how late it is, the three of them will carry the apples they have harvested for the day to the fruit cellar overnight.

The price is low, Wang Defa wants apples are also very picky, as long as the largest and reddest color, what kind of taste it tastes, he doesn't care, as long as he pulls it back and puts it in his fruit cellar, the taste is the best taste in the world.

The apples in the fruit cellar were full, Wang Defa was very satisfied, looking at his uncle Wang Youcai next door who was still suffering from the fact that there were no apples to collect and the price was too high, when he was at a loss, Wang Defa had been smoking his old dry tobacco every day, and he was playing chess all day long at the chess stall at the intersection of the team.

"Lao Wang, you still have time to play chess every day, are the apples full?" Many chess stalls watched Wang Defa have nothing to do for a day and asked curiously.

"It's been full for a long time, but it's not full, I have time to play chess here!"

"Then your profit this year is not much, and the price of apples is high this year!"

"No matter how little profit you make, it's hundreds of times better than you digging in the dirt!"

"You're not afraid to flash your tongue! There are no winning generals in business, so be modest. ”

I don't know who said this, but this is definitely a truth, Wang Defa is a person, he loves face, and one day he cleaned up his oily hair and noodles, and when he saw the people in the team, he looked like a big rooster who had won the worship of countless hens. Everyone is used to it, and if they can't get used to it, at best, they scold in their hearts, "Re-education through labor prisoners, what are you proud of".

But Wang Defa doesn't care about these things, now people are becoming more and more realistic, those traditions in the past are basically very indifferent, everyone only recognizes money, Wang Defa is rich, and he can afford to marry a second wife, everyone recognizes him, and thinks that he has the ability, ability, and money, can he really make the ghost grind?

The weather is slowly getting colder, after winter, there is basically no work, a few dolls have not yet had winter vacation, on weekdays, Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e at home, and the old lady in the back room, with Wang Defa's observation, this may be the last winter of the old lady, every time I go to serve the old lady, Wang Defa is sad for a while, a lifetime, when Wang Defa's father is still there, the two of them depend on each other, these ten years, the old lady is too tormented alone.

After sending the old lady the meal over and watching it, in the afternoon, when the children went to school, Wang Defa couldn't hold back the urge to exercise on the bed, and the door was locked from the inside, so he unscrupulously began to burn passionately. Sometimes, even Wang Defa himself is afraid that the kang will collapse.
