Chapter 19: Reckoning
Compared with the small fight of selling peanuts, this time the two of them returned triumphantly, the family was really surprised and happy, Li Xiuqin couldn't even take care of dinner, the whole family sat around the kang, watching Xu Rujiao take out money one by one.
Xu Rujiao sat cross-legged on the kang, and the sky shone through the window with a small piece of light, so she took out all the money in the bright place, and those dimes and two dimes of the gross tickets stacked together were really spectacular.
"Forty-eight dollars and six cents." Xu Rujiao counted it carefully, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, except for the ten yuan she spent buying sunflower seeds, she made a net profit of thirty-eight yuan and six cents, which was really a good deal.
Li Xiuqin was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and praised one after another: "This is more than the monthly salary of the workers in the factory, it's amazing, it's amazing!" ”
"There are really so many people buying", Xu Guangshi was stunned, just a dime for a small bowl of tea, I didn't expect it to be sold for so much money.
"This is more popular than peanuts", Xu Rujuan's arm hurting as she scooped melon seeds, but she couldn't resist her excitement, "I'm so busy that I don't even have the time to catch my breath, and I don't have anything to buy later, it's a pity." ”
"I'm going to go to the countryside again tomorrow to collect more sunflower seeds." Xu Rujiao said.
"Dad is with you", Xu Guangshi remembered the two daughters carrying such heavy sunflower seeds, and said, "Go to the production team to borrow a bicycle, and Dad will take you there." ”
"Yes, yes, let your dad follow." Li Xiuqin smiled, "You two are hungry, let's eat first." ”
She said that she was about to collect the money on the kang, but she was stopped by Xu Rujiao, first counted out two yuan and handed it to Li Xiuqin, and then counted out eight yuan to Xu Rujuan, and gave the eldest sister a look at her mother from an angle that her mother couldn't see: "Mom, eldest sister, this is the capital to buy sunflower seeds, give you two first." ”
The two of them didn't know why, and looked at her suspiciously.
I only heard Xu Rujiao slowly speak: "There are still thirty-eight yuan and six cents left, my parents will fry melon seeds and divide them into three percent, and the eldest sister will sell melon seeds with me, each with two percent, and the second sister will help transport them, and I will also pay for hard work." ”
As she spoke, she quickly divided the money into three piles and pushed them in front of her parents, eldest sister and second sister respectively: "Eleven pieces and five cents and eight cents, I will make up the whole number twelve for you; The eldest sister's is seven yuan and seven cents two, and she will give eight yuan directly; This dollar is a hardship fee for the second sister. ”
Xu Ruyan was just about to speak, but Xu Rujiao rushed before her and said, "Of course, I will also buy you new clothes and shoes that I promised you, and I will go to the county seat to buy them after fifteen." ”
Xu Ruyan shut up and reluctantly accepted the result.
Li Xiuqin was not so easy to dismiss: "What do you mean? So much money you have to take for yourself? ”
"Mom, my brother is settling accounts," Xu Rujiao said, "If you are not satisfied with my distribution plan, you can also mention it." ”
"What's the grievance?" Li Xiuqin raised her voice and said in disbelief, "You eat me, wear me, use mine, I raised you to such a big age, and now you can make money, but you will settle accounts with me?" Okay, let's calculate how much money you've spent on your family over the years, and whether you should divide the money you earn like this! ”
"And how do you want to divide it?" Xu Rujiao still asked calmly.
Li Xiuqin thought she had compromised, and said with a sigh of relief: "What is the use of your child taking a lot of money?" I'll give you a ......" she was ruthless, thinking she was generous, "Two dollars for pocket money, and the rest will be given to Mom." ”
Xu Rujiao smiled: "Mom, don't learn from my grandma." ”
In a word, Li Xiuqin was stunned.
Yes, what is the difference between her and her greedy mother, her children are not allowed to keep the money when they have it, they have to hand it over......
Looking at the gross tickets piled up on the kang, this is a dime or two of her fifteen-year-old daughter, a little hard-earned......
However, I didn't ask for money to give it to others, didn't I want it for this family?
Li Xiuqin thought about being wronged, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
Xu Rujiao didn't expect to be overly stimulated, and hurriedly said in a soft tone: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, I still have to do the business of selling melon seeds, how can I keep some capital in my hand, just like you only gave me two yuan to buy sunflower seeds last night, if it wasn't for the eldest sister who quietly stuffed me with some money, can we earn so much today?" ”
"I'm not ......"
"I know that you want to take this money for the sake of living for your family", Xu Rujiao continued without waiting for her to finish, "But you don't go out often, relatively speaking, I go out more, what is lacking at home, I bought it when I saw it outside, and it is convenient to have money in my hand." ”
Li Xiuqin looked at the food at home now, and most of it was really bought back by Xu Rujiao, and she didn't speak for a while.
"Sanya is a successful person, or he can't make so much money by selling couplets and melon seeds." Xu Guangshi also followed suit.
"That's it, Mom, you just let my little sister keep some money, or ...... Or I'll give you this one of mine. Xu Rujuan said, she wanted to say no, but now seeing her mother like this, she proposed a compromise method.
"I'll give you my share too." Xu Guangshi said busily.
Li Xiuqin gave him an angry look: "Why do you still want to keep private money!" Then he looked at Xu Rujuan again: "You take it yourself!" After fifteen, I also went to the county seat to buy good clothes to wear. ”
Xu Rujiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately, her mother made sense.
