After the pleasantries.

Peng Chunhua said: "I often see Grandma Qin doing this these days, and my mother-in-law said that you sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, how much can it be sold for?" ”

Li Qiao was slightly shocked, did grandma tell them? "One....... Ah Jin knows, if you ask him, he sent it, and I don't know the situation very well. She was about to blurt out the words when she turned a corner.

If grandma said it, Peng Chunhua would not ask her about the price.

I didn't ask my grandmother to ask her, did you?

Peng Chunhua muttered in her heart, the old and the young all pushed the matter on Qin Jin, deliberately didn't want to tell her, afraid that she would rob their family of ways to make a fortune?

Folks, this is too stingy!

She smirked and said, "Catch Ming'er and ask him." ”

After Peng Chunhua said a perfunctory sentence, she excused herself and left. Li Qiao sent him out, and then closed it again.

Old Mrs. Qin: "Fortunately, you didn't tell her the truth, otherwise, your aunt's family would be so red that they wouldn't be able to sleep." ”

Li Qiao suddenly said a little worried: "I have to ask my classmates when I go back, if the people in the village enter the supply and marketing cooperatives and see the vase we made, will it affect him." ”

"Cheng, it's not easy to have a regular job now, but don't cause people to lose their jobs." Old Lady Qin said.

The grandfather and grandson were busy until the evening.

It was dark, and Qin Jin hadn't come back yet.

Li Qiao flashed a flashlight in the direction of the entrance of the village.

"Li Qiao."

Li Qiao's flashlight turned, and the light fell on the person who came.

It's Du Xinxin and Wang Nannan.

The two looked tired, their trouser legs covered with mud, their hands in their pockets, and their arms carrying books.

"Are you off work? Why didn't our family come back with you? Li Qiao said.

"The two of us were in charge of cooking and came back early. They're early. By the way, did you learn English this week? Can you just teach us to read here? Save the night and run to us. ”

"Okay." Li Qiao went into the house and lit a kerosene lamp, and went to a teapot of hot water for each of them, and put sugar on it extravagantly. Organize all the notes you need to take and set aside.

Only then did he take out an English book and teach the two of them to read the newly learned knowledge.

The old lady Qin next door was about to fall asleep, and she sat up in shock when she heard the sound of reading, and after recognizing her daughter-in-law's voice, she pricked up her ears with a serious expression.

Li Qiao finished reading and said softly, "Have you written it down?" ”

"I made it a note, I bothered you so late, and you were still willing to teach patiently, I really don't know how to thank you."

"It's just a gesture, not enough to worry about. Do you have to work again tomorrow? Li Qiao said.

"Well, I heard that it will take a month, and it is time to plant peanuts and corn for spring stubble, and the seeds will go to the ground, and there will be some busy. Ay! I really envy that you can concentrate on school. ”

Li Qiao didn't know how to comfort him, so he said dryly: "If you eat hard, you will become a master, first bitter and then sweet." ”

"Haha, let's comfort ourselves like this, it's not too early, let's go."

"Okay." Li Qiao sent the two out of the house and advised: "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”

"Huh. Go back, it's cold outside. ”

Li Qiao waited for their figures to be engulfed in darkness before turning around and entering the courtyard to bolt the door.

went straight to the kitchen shed, added two handfuls of firewood to the stove, threw two sweet potatoes into it, and left it for Qin Jin to come back to eat, and then went into the house to wash and sleep.

I don't know when Qin Jin will get off work, when she wakes up the next day, there is no one in the room, and there is a stack of notebooks on the table, which the educated youths sent early in the morning?

Li Qiao got dressed and got up and asked Mrs. Qin: "Grandma, is Ah Jin at work?" ”

"Yes, I just walked for less than half an hour, just now, Han Zhiqing sent the book, you see, there is no less, if someone comes back to cook at noon, you can go over and get it."

Li Qiao: "There will be no less. "Han Ting's affairs are not at ease, in fact, several of them are quite good.

Unlike the people in the village, they always worry about people.

Wang Nannan looked down on her a little at first, and always raised the bar with her, but after getting along for a long time and getting acquainted, there were not so many things.

"Today, you can take a minibus to school, it's more than ten miles away, and it's inconvenient to walk with a sack." Old Lady Qin said.

Li Qiao also had this plan, and closed the door with Mrs. Qin during the day to continue weaving.

At sunset, Li Qiao packed his schoolbag, brought a week's worth of dry food, and a handmade sack on his back, bid farewell to Mrs. Qin, and set out on the road to school alone.

As soon as he arrived at the road, Yu Feng came on a bicycle.

Seeing her, he said very enthusiastically: "Qiaoqiao, is this going to school?" I just want to buy something at the supply and marketing cooperative, come up, and take you for a ride. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I got my heart, I have a lot of things, and the car is not easy to put away, so I won't trouble you." Li Qiao said: "Why didn't you go to the ditch today?" ”

In addition to the old and weak women and children in the village, those who have a little strength have gone out to dig the ditch.

Yu Feng has always been active in his work.

Today, I am at home, and I still have time to visit the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Unusual!

It so happened that the minibus came.

Li Qiao stretched out his hand and waved the parking lot, got into the car with a sack, and did not forget to greet Yu Feng: "Auntie, goodbye." ”

There were only a few people in the car.

Li Qiao found a seat at random and sat down, and after paying the fare, he made room to look back, and Yu Feng pedaled the bicycle, like chasing a minibus.

Was it to find out who she was selling the knits to?

Coming to the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Qiao shouted to stop the bus.

Go straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I walked around the room, ran into Gao Dagang, and handed him my things.

"There's a lot of stuff today, I was just about to tell you to get a few more."

Li Qiao: "Many of them were made up by my mother-in-law. "Old Lady Qin, don't look old, her eyes are not very good, but her brain is flexible.

Handiwork, she can remember it just by looking at it once.

They even put a lot of thought into innovation.

"Oh, didn't you say you would come later?" Tall and rigid.

Li Qiao: "The team organized a ditch and couldn't get out." ”

"That's right." Gao Dagang took her into the office to settle the bill for her as usual: "I was going to start deducting it next month, but the director asked you to open an approval slip, and the things you bring in the future will be considered regular." Don't be afraid of being reported. This is already the money that has been deducted, you count. ”

Li Qiao was very happy, she was worried about this. She took the money and put it directly in her bag: "Don't count, thank you so much, originally some people in our village saw me doing handicrafts, and they also knew that they got it to the supply and marketing cooperative, so I was a little afraid that you would be in trouble." ”

Gao Dagang smiled, sat down and wrote a note and stamped it to her: "If someone reports you, you take this out, and the person who inspects it won't say anything when it sees it." ”

Li Qiao was extremely grateful: "Thank you so much." She silently thought: When I am developed, I will inevitably help you.

........

Li Qiao left the supply and marketing cooperatives not long after.

Yu Feng came in, she had seen the appearance of the Qin family's products after they were completed, and looked for them carefully, and finally let her find them at a counter, with big red plastic flowers inserted in them.

Not to mention, as soon as the flowers are put in, it seems that the straw has gone up a lot of grades.

She stepped forward and asked for the price.

The cheapest ones cost two cents.

Expensive three cents five.

There was a cylinder with a flower shape, and it cost four cents.

Who would pay so much for this?

As he was making a look, several well-dressed women came over to ask for the price.

I simply paid for it.

As soon as the counter was cold, Yu Feng stepped forward again: "Hello comrade, I also have this thing at home, can I sell it to you?" ”

"We won't accept it without approval."

"How can I get a slip?"

"I don't know."

"Do I have to ask your leader for instructions?" Yu Feng broke the casserole and asked in the end, at this time, a business came to the door, and the salesman took care of selling goods and collecting money, but she asked several times and the other party ignored her.

She waited patiently for the other party to continue to ask.

As a result, when the time came to get off work, the salesman collected things faster than rabbits: "You have something to inquire about tomorrow, I'm off work." ”

Yu Feng: "......"
