Xu Rujiao was dizzy by this "big order", suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said as smoothly as possible: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will definitely send it to you." Then he asked, "Is there anything you would like to write about the auspicious words on the couplet?" ”

Director Jin pointed to the "New Year's Annunciation" in his hand and said: "This is very good, and then write something to promote production and labor is the most glorious." ”

Xu Rujiao wrote them down one by one, and Director Jin gave her a deposit of five yuan, and agreed to deliver the goods the day after tomorrow.

"Let's get me two couplets and four blessing characters first," Director Jin spoke again, "New Year's stickers at home." ”

Xu Rujiao immediately followed what he said, and when she saw that the other party wanted to give money, she hurriedly said, "Director, just take it back and paste it." "The other party gave her such a big order, and she has to be sensible.

Director Jin didn't shirk much, obviously this kind of thing has happened more than once.

After Director Jin left, Xu Rujiao picked another pair of gates, a pair of small doors and two blessing words, which she wanted to give to the doorman.

The uncle waved his hand again and again: "How embarrassing is this, I can't take your things for nothing." ”

Xu Rujiao smiled: "Thanks to you today, Director Jin wouldn't have been able to buy my couplet." ”

"Hey, it's your own thing", the uncle shook his hand, "Anyway, the factory has to post it for the New Year." ”

"Uncle, don't shirk it", Xu Rujiao gave him the couplet, "It's good to put it on at home for the New Year, it's so good to be happy and happy." ”

When the uncle heard her say this, he no longer shirked, looked at the few couplets left in her hand, and said: "If you don't worry, let me put these couplets here, there are more than 200 workers in the factory, who has to post them for the New Year, I will ask them for you, and if you want something, I will help you sell it." ”

The relationship is good, the deposit is in her pocket, Xu Rujiao still has something to worry about. She briefly told the uncle the price and left happily.

Sold in the morning, plus the deposit given by Director Jin, a total of eleven yuan and three cents were received today, Xu Rujiao didn't mention how happy she was, she first went to the canteen to get meat buns and brown sugar baked cakes, thinking of today's income, she bought three more meat buns, just one for each of the five people in the family.

Carrying hot buns and baked cakes, Xu Rujiao finally went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two yuan of red paper.

Eight cents of red paper, it is enough for ordinary people to buy one or two for the New Year, Xu Rujiao bought so much red paper for two consecutive days, which inevitably attracts attention.

When the young salesman took the red paper, he looked at her several times, and Xu Rujiao, who looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, beat a drum in her heart, took the red paper, paid the money, and hurried away.

Home.

Xu Ruyan stared at the five big meat buns in the oil-paper bag spread out, her eyes lit green, and the buns were already cold after walking all the way, but she couldn't resist the fact that it was a meat bun!

That's minced meat!

"Did someone really give it to you?" Li Xiuqin looked at the bun and drooled, but she couldn't help but ask again.

What Xu Rujiao told her family was: A classmate's parent is a worker in the Guodan leather factory, and seeing that the couplets she brought were good, he asked if he could help the factory write a few pairs, and took pity on her for running back and forth, so he gave her steamed buns and sugar baked cakes.

This time, without waiting for Xu Rujiao to answer, Xu Ruyan first roared and said: "My father used to write couplets, didn't people also give eggs and brown sugar or something?" The regular workers of the Guodan leather factory can afford to give a few buns. Mom, let's heat a few and eat it. ”

Li Xiuqin thought about this reason, so she didn't ask anymore, and saw that the second girl was about to touch the hand of the bun, and slapped her: "Have you washed your hands?" He bent down and said while collecting the buns, "It will be hot for a while, and you three sisters will eat it separately." ”

Xu Ruyan pouted unhappily: "It's only two ......"

"I don't care if I eat this meal, right?" Li Xiuqin reprimanded.

"Mom, it's all hot, let's have one for each of the five, my classmate and her father said, and the day after tomorrow I will send the couplet and a thank you gift." Xu Rujiao said.

Xu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she whispered behind her mother: "Listening to Sanya, it's all hot." ”

Xu Guangshi thought of the previous canning incident, and was faintly worried: "Nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Last time, it was the fourth aunt who loved to show off her talents, let's not say who knows", Xu Rujiao said and turned to Li Xiuqin, "Mom, don't send it to grandma's house this time." ”

"Just these buns, what's the send", Li Xiuqin smiled reluctantly, and went out with the buns to get hot.

The stick slag porridge made for dinner, each person has a big meat bun, the porridge is sticky and glutinous, the bun skin is thin and the filling is big, the mouth is full of oil when you bite it, everyone eats it and wants to bite off their tongues, and the dry stomach finally has some oil and water.

Xu Rujiao looked at the happy appearance of her family eating, and secretly swore that they would have meat to eat in the future!

There are so many couplets and blessing characters, Xu Guangshi can't finish writing them in one day, and Xu Rujiao took things to deliver them the next day.

"Did you take that much?" Li Xiuqin was a little worried, "Do you want your second sister to join you?" ”

"Okay!"

"No!"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, Xu Ruyan was worried about the meat buns, and was uncharacteristically willing to run errands, but Xu Rujiao was afraid that she would not be able to hide the truth from her parents, so she immediately refused.

"My second sister is squeamish, walking slowly, not as fast as I send it myself." Xu Rujiao said immediately.

Xu Ruyan fried her hair: "You are delicate!" Your name is Xu Rujiao, you are Jiaodidi! ”

Seeing this, Li Xiuqin stopped thinking about letting Xu Ruyan go with her, and they quarreled before they went, and they had to fight on the road.

Xu Rujiao left satisfied.

When she arrived at the Guodan Leather Factory, the doorman had a good look in his eyes, and when he saw her from afar, he beckoned: "You sit down first, and I'll call Director Jin." ”

The process was very smooth, Director Jin checked the couplet and the word Fu, and paid the remaining seven yuan and five cents without a problem, and saw that there were a lot of "look up and see joy" and "go out to see joy", so he simply took five of each, and made up enough eight yuan to pay Xu Rujiao together.

After Director Jin left, the doorman called Xu Rujiao to him, quietly turned out two yuan and handed it to her: "The couplets you left behind were bought by an old worker in the factory, they were originally two yuan and five cents, I saw that he bought a lot, so I didn't ask for the five cents, this is the money for selling pairs, you take it." ”
