Chapter 52: The Whole Family
The quiet courtyard was even quieter, Qu Ershun held the money in disbelief and counted it twice, and when he looked at Qu Sa, he immediately changed his face, and asked seriously: "To be honest, where did this money come from?" "It was as if the money had been either stolen or stolen.
Qu Sa is very "injured", second sister, can you hope that I will be better?
She didn't say a word of nonsense, and explained in detail the process of earning money, including the two-day delay due to menstrual pain. And repeatedly emphasized that he originally earned twenty-seven yuan, of which two yuan was used to buy medicine, so only twenty-five were left.
Hearing her menstrual cramps, several sisters couldn't sit still, Qu Dawan grabbed Qu Sa's wrist and asked nervously, "What's the pain?"
Qu Sa had already taken the plan to condition his body to heart, so he said truthfully, "It's not painful to walk, it's not to sit, and I almost didn't lie on the ground directly, as if there was a knife stirring around in my stomach, and I didn't stop." ”
Oh my God! So serious! Qu Dawan's color changed, Qu Sa hurriedly took out the small bottle of Chinese medicine and said to several sisters: "This is a medicine taken from the medical hall, it is very effective, and it doesn't hurt for two days, but the doctor reminded me to go to him for a check-up after three or four days this time." ”
Qu Dawan nodded again and again, and subconsciously glanced at the hall before speaking, and suddenly remembered that his father had gone out, so he let go of his voice and said: "You are still young, I don't know the seriousness of this matter, if this thing is not normal, it will be difficult to have children in the future." Then he asked Qu Sa how many times he came, and Qu Sa said what he said to Han Xu again, Qu Dawan frowned, and almost scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Such a big thing! You, why are you eating! ”
There was no such scene in her previous life, and her sisters vaguely knew about Qu Sa's menstrual cramps, but she didn't say anything about the specific situation, so no one took it seriously. What's more, she was not close to her sisters at that time, and she didn't bother to talk about common things, let alone such private things.
This life is different, in Qu Sa's eyes at this time, they are her closest people and the most important dependence.
"I don't know...... Yes, there is such a serious ......" Qu Sa pursed his lips, making a very aggrieved and ignorant look.
Qu Dawan's eyes suddenly turned red, "It's all my fault!" I didn't tell you well, our mother left early, I should have taught you about this......"
Faced with the eldest sister's self-blame, Qu Sa shook his head again and again, and Qu Ershun said with relief: "Xiao Wu is still young, this is just the beginning, didn't the doctor also say that it will be fine after taking care of it?" Don't worry......
Qu Dawan sighed, only she was the only one of the five of them who had been married and had children, except for her, none of them knew how important this matter was to a woman, and after a pause, she asked Qu Sa carefully, "How many days is this?" Or more? ”
"It's the fourth day, it's almost gone, it's not much, it's all a little, a little."
Qu Dawan's heart pinched when she heard this, and she said that she would take Qu Sa to a big hospital for an examination when she passed, but Qu Sa said that she had made an appointment with the doctor at the Huaici Medical Center, and people could also check it there. I was afraid that my sisters wouldn't believe it, so I said: "It's very big, not comparable to ordinary small clinics, mainly because the doctor has a special pulse, I didn't say anything and he took it out, and besides, he and our math teacher are high school classmates, and they studied Western medicine in college, but they practice Chinese medicine at home." ”
The last few sentences put the sisters at ease, Qu Dawan nodded, and said that she would personally take Qu Sa to the hospital for an examination in a few days.
The sisters talked about the topic of "women's diseases" for a long time before they returned to business.
Qu Ershun and Qu Dawan glanced at each other, and immediately decided to go to the county seat to do business together, anyway, the courtyard rented by the little sister is big, and there is no big problem if there is a place to live.
However, I can't leave my dad at home alone, since Liu Taohua ran away, although my dad looks normal, he often snorts in the room alone at night, and stays for a while during the day, which makes people very worried.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that Qu Sijing would stay to take care of his father and family, and the rest would go to the county seat.
In the evening, everyone told Qu Anguo about it, and the old man said after a while: "Since you can make money, then you can go, and the four children will also go, I don't have to take care of it, there is nothing at home except a little food, and I don't need to take care of it." ”
Qu Sijing, who has always been silent, said: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own old nest, don't say that, Dad." Besides, although my little sister's yard is big, there are many of us, I'm afraid I can't live, I'd better stay at home, the candy bag is still a few hundred years away from sewing, I can just continue to do it, and I can make money. ”
The fourth daughter is so well-behaved, and what she said is reasonable, the old man no longer insisted.
Early the next morning, the sisters walked to the town to take a car and went to the county seat together.
After looking at Qu Sa's small courtyard, Qu Ershun immediately rolled up his sleeves to work, and said heroically that the four of them don't do much work alone, and they can steam seven or eight back baskets a day. Qu Sa was frightened, and waved his hand again and again, old god, this is not feeding pigs, who will you sell so much steamed?
Then, she analyzed the basic situation of the market to everyone, "...... Therefore, those with many ingredients and expensive nests have limited sales, and if you want to make money, you still have to take the road of small profits and quick turnover. For example, only put some salt in the nest, don't put anything else, make the nest bigger, and then boil a pot of spicy paste with sale, I have calculated the cost, one is only seven or eight cents, we can sell one dime and five one. In addition, let's go to the market to wholesale more white sugar and brown sugar, mix less white flour, and then make the nest smaller, the cost is reduced to less than one dime, and it can also be a dime and a dime...... In this way, there are a lot more students who can afford it, and the four of us can be divided into two groups, one group in front of Xiang Ge No. 1 Middle School, and one group in front of Xiang Ge No. 2 Middle School......"
Qu Sa said in detail, Qu Dawan kept nodding, and even said that he would do so.
In the afternoon, the sisters went to the wholesale farmers' market together, bought half a bag of brown sugar, half a bag of white sugar, and wholesaled more than 20 bags of fine salt. Although wholesale, compared to others, shrimp skin is still very expensive, Qu Ershun is reluctant, but Qu Sa insists that no shrimp skin is put in the spicy batter, and the taste will be greatly reduced.
In the end, she was the one who called the shots.
After coming back, while it was still early, Qu Ershun and Qu Sanning went to the suburbs to pick up two bundles of firewood near the ditch.
Everything was ready, and the next day, before dawn, the four sisters got up to steam their nests and set up the booths of the two stalls before the school bell rang.
After three or four days of not coming out of the stall, the students of Xiang Ge No. 1 Middle School thought that Qu Sa was gone, and when the students went out of the school gate, they saw Qu Sa and the figure of the basket, and they all walked towards her.
The new price and new varieties have surprised many people, especially the pot of spicy batter, which is called a delicious and spicy and refreshing one, and then paired with a mouthful of yellow nests, it is really beautiful.
Spicy things are eaten, so many classmates buy three or four nests in one breath in order to eat a few bites of spicy batter, Qu Ershun collects money with one hand and takes nests with the other, and she can't close her mouth when she is happy with this red scene, and now she believes what her little sister said.
A large and a small back basket nest was sold out before the preparation bell rang, and the iron pot containing the paste was also scraped clean, and the two sisters were about to close the stall, when a slender, bony hand reached over, "Bring me a basket of nests!" ”
