Xu Rujiao didn't expect the uncle to really help her sell the couplet, and suddenly had an idea.

It is not easy for her to run back and forth in the village every day, and the time to sell couplets a day is even more limited.

Thinking of this, she took out two cents from the two dollars and put them in the uncle's hand: "You take these two cents, which can be regarded as a commission for you to help me sell the couplet." ”

Seeing that the uncle was about to resign, she hurriedly said: "You listen to me first, although these two cents are few, I think so......"

As soon as she told her uncle her thoughts, the other party agreed without much hesitation: "I can help you sell it, forget about the money, it's just a convenient thing, and besides, you have already given me a lot of couplets for nothing, how can I ask for your money again." ”

"One yard is one yard", Xu Rujiao smiled, "Those couplets are to thank you for helping me introduce business, and now you help me sell couplets, and I should give you a share." ”

After saying goodbye to her uncle, Xu Rujiao first went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy red paper, and saw that another older salesperson was here today, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The new big fruit cake of the supply and marketing cooperatives is good, so she asked the salesman to weigh two catties, Xu Ruyan loves to eat this, she provoked her this morning, and bought some to go back to coax the child.

When she arrived at the Red Rock Hotel, Xu Rujiao went to buy meat buns as usual, she wanted to buy a few more, but the master said that if she had more, she would have to ask for tickets, so she had to give up.

Although she has been tired in the past few days, the harvest is really not small, not counting the money spent on buying things, and now she has a small twenty yuan in her pocket, and she has the help of the doorman in the future, and the business is more promising.

Half a month later, Xu Rujiao left home every three or five times, and took all kinds of couplets written by Xu Guangshi, and she took some of them to sell them in villages near and far, and sold them on consignment to the doorman.

In the cooperation again and again, Xu Rujiao gradually got acquainted with the doorman, and also knew that the uncle's surname was Liu, who was originally an employee in the factory.

Uncle Liu has a son, who is the workshop director of the Guodan Leather Factory, so Xu Rujiao understands why Director Jin was so happy to buy her couplets in the first place.

And Uncle Liu's own family is not short of money at all, and cooperating with her to sell goods is more out of affection to help, and then to find something for himself to entertain.

For this reason, Xu Rujiao is even more grateful, and every time she comes, she brings some small things to Uncle Liu, such as wild wolfberries dried at home, snacks bought by the supply and marketing cooperative, and so on.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Guodan Peel Factory is on holiday, and Xu Rujiao's business of selling couplets is almost over, overall, Uncle Liu is selling a large amount here, and it is no wonder that the workers of the Guodan Peel Factory have a salary of dozens of yuan per month, and they are naturally happy to buy couplets for eight cents.

Uncle Liu got more than 20 yuan, and Xu Rujiao also got more than 80 yuan, and both sides were happy.

Coupled with what she has sold herself in the past half month, Xu Rujiao now has a total of more than 150 yuan in her hands.

Before leaving, Uncle Liu brought her half a pocket of fruit dan peel leftovers: "Don't look at the corners here, it tastes the same as normal fruit dan peel, don't dislike it, take it back to your family to eat." ”

Where would Xu Rujiao dislike it, although Hongshi Township is rich in hawthorn, most of the fruit dan peels and canned food made are supplied to the outside, and they are poor and cannot afford to eat them.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu! In the next year, I will come back to the village to give you a cloth bag. Xu Rujiao said crisply.

Uncle Liu waved his hand and motioned for her to hurry home.

Before going home, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and when the New Year was approaching, there were a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two salesmen were rare.

Xu Rujiao deliberately avoided the younger one, and went to the older salesman to come forward, first weighing a pound of big fruit crisp, the last time I bought it back, the family liked to eat it, there was a fresh and soft chicken cake, but I had to give up if I wanted food stamps.

A pound of sugar is two cents and five cents, two bottles of canned oranges are eight cents, and when she saw the toothpaste and toothbrushes on the side of the counter, she bought five toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste at once.

Xu Guangshi insisted on letting the children brush their teeth, the toothbrush at home was made of pig bristles, and he used water without toothpaste, sometimes with a little salt.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, I went to the butcher shop, remembering the sauce elbow that was forcibly taken away by my grandmother last time, Xu Rujiao directly weighed two catties ruthlessly, and bought one catty of fat meat and one catty of pork belly respectively, and finally went to the grain store to buy two catties of white noodles.

Even if these are enough for her to take, she has rested several times along the way, usually an hour away, she walked for an hour and a half to get home, and she was tired and sweaty in winter.

"Dad, Mom, Sister! Come and pick it up. Finally arrived at the door of the house, Xu Rujiao sat directly on the ground tiredly, shouting at the top of her voice.

Li Xiuqin ran out first, and when she saw her sweaty girl, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the things all over the ground, and her mouth opened in surprise: "This, where did this come from?" ”
