Chapter Eighty-Three: A Filial Daughter-in-law
Over there, You Shi saw Wang Meilan leading her little sister empty-handed, and her face was unhappy, "Meilan, you haven't been back to your parents' house for a long time, why did you come empty-handed?" β
Wang Meilan smiled, "Sister-in-law, Qi Qi found a peach harvest for our father today, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to buy it on the road, I will leave a few money for our father to buy it himself."
You Shi's mouth pouted, "Oh, I said, I don't usually see people, how come you know to run here as soon as the peaches are ripe?" Where did Qin Qi find the peaches? Reliable spectrum, huh? Master, let's hurry up, don't let others take the lead. Meilan, you can work hard and take a few more steps, let's go first. β
As soon as the master heard that there were already early arrivals, he didn't care so much, and stepped on the accelerator to the end and drove away.
Wang Meilan smiled and didn't speak, her good sister-in-law was really polite and didn't tell herself at all.
The little sister comforted Wang Meilan instead, "Auntie, this sand is so soft to step on, I don't feel tired at all!" β
Indeed, where to find such a good place as my mother's house, the mountains are all sandy fields, and your feet will not be stained with mud when it rains, and you will not feel tired no matter how long you walk.
Wang Meilan picked up her little sister and ran all the way up the mountain.
β¦β¦
Although there is a great difference in the identities of Wang Zhongyi and Wang Deshan, they are old horses born in the same year, and they have endless enthusiastic words for a while.
After all, no matter how disparity the identity is, it is all when you are young.
Once a person is old, he loses the halo of work and title, and the more pure his life becomes, and he is inseparable from birth, old age, sickness and death.
"Brother, that time I carried a load of peaches on my shoulders and squeezed the bus to the district, it was a black eye, and I could only get together with those perennial vendors to sell peaches.
Who knew that the vendor next to me actually asked me to collect half a basket of peaches, and after receiving it, he sat with me and sold it at the same price, and I didn't understand how he made money all morning! β
"Hahahaha", Wang Zhongyi laughed so hard that his snot came out, "Brother Deshan, is he just trying to squeeze you away!" β
"No, no", Wang Deshan's head shook like a rattle, "I didn't understand until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it turned out that there was a problem with his scale, and he was a seven-tael scale!" β
"Hahahaha, no one will see his trick when he comes and goes."
"I really don't see any," Wang Deshan sighed, "The people who come and go are some first-time visitors to the city, how can they observe so carefully, and the vendors are neatly dressed and have bigger stalls than me, so everyone thinks that his things are good, and you say where I can reason." β
"Hahahaha", Wang Zhongyi nodded, "This person is so blind." β
"Who said it wasn't", Wang Deshan was filled with righteous indignation, "No matter what kind of person, once you enter the city, you can't tell who is good and who is bad, you look at the villagers who live in the village, and then who dares to take a seven-tael scale out to fool people!" β
A group of old fellows empathized with each other and talked about going to the city to suffer losses.
It was lively, and the You and Cao families over there led the peache-harvesting vendors to come Shanshan.
"Dad, is that car up there here to pull our peaches? I asked the driver, and he didn't know what was going on with his boss's temper! β
You Shi didn't care about the old and young people sitting in the courtyard, and walked up to Wang Deshan and asked.
"This is my daughter-in-law." Wang Deshan explained to Wang Zhongyi in a low voice.
Wang Zhongyi couldn't help but smile and looked at You Shi coldly.
You Shi also glanced at Wang Zhongyi, although he looked at Mian Sheng, but he saw that he was just an old man, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Wang Deshan hurriedly pointed to Wang Zhongyi and introduced, "I'm here to harvest peaches, the car belongs to my old brother, and we sold our peaches to him, you don't have to worry about it!" β
"Dad, what price did you sell it for? My sister-in-law and I also found someone to harvest peaches, didn't I tell you not to sell it yourself, what if you are deceived again. β
You Shi looked anxious, and pushed the peach collector forward again.
The peddler had always been arrogant when he came to the village in the past, but this time he couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw that everyone didn't come to him.
"To sell or not to sell? If you don't sell me, I'll leave, and I won't have time to delay my work with you old guys. β
You Shi looked at Wang Deshan's calm face, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Dad, what price are you selling?" We have to compare prices, we have been serving for a year, but we can't just sell them casually. β
"My price, priceβ"
In fact, Wang Deshan didn't know how the price was calculated, he looked for Qin Qi's shadow everywhere.
Qin Qi saw that things were going well, and he was going to the creek with Wu Yi and Wu Hua.
Listening to my grandfather's call, several people also hurried back.
Looking at You Shi's aggressive appearance, Qin Qi knew that nothing was good.
"Auntie, what price did you get this person for?" Qin Qi asked with a smile.
"I'm two cents and five, I can't do it anymore." The peddler thought that the price he had given was already high, and his tone was full of pride.
"Coincidentally, this price is also here, and it's two cents and five cents!" Qin Qi chuckled without changing his face.
As soon as these words came out, the old men and ladies present were all stunned, what they could think of was according to the price quoted by Qin Qi before - 5 cents a catty.
When did it become two cents and five, isn't it a half loss in a blink of an eye!
Although Wang Zhongyi wanted a large amount of goods this time and drove the goods in person, it could be appropriately considered cheaper, but it was half cheaper at once, and it was so cheap that it was the same as the price given by other small traders, which still surprised them.
But Peaches will have already carried the car, and it will be a bit unauthentic to say that it will be regretted. Anyway, after all, it was all sold, which is a good thing, and after a while, the old people present have done a good job of psychological construction.
"We've already sold it to this old brother, go back!" Everyone shouted.
Wang Zhongyi was also stunned when he heard Qin Qi's words, and then understood that this yellow-haired girl might have something else in her heart, so she silently stopped speaking.
"Then I'll take two cents!" The peddler said through gritted teeth.
It's hard to come here, and he doesn't want to go back empty-handed, so he will even lose the gas money.
"How much can you take?" Qin Qi then asked.
"1000 pounds!"
"That's not good, people charge 10,000 catties." Qin Qi deliberately bit the 10,000 words clearly.
Cao, who was standing next to You's, couldn't help it, and walked to the old man on crutches and whispered.
"Dad, let's sell it here! 3 points more for a catty, 30 yuan more for 1000 catties! They don't sell it, just our family sells it, anyway, it hasn't been settled yet, so the sale doesn't count! β
Who knows, this grandfather on crutches is also a tough one, "We all said that we would sell it to this old brother!" No, no, I haven't done anything bad in my life, don't be here to be foolish, don't sell! β
You Shi also began to lobby Wang Deshan, "Dad, then let's sell it, our Wang Xin is about to get married, and there are places to use money everywhere, and this change of effort will be wrong for 30 yuan, why don't we sell it!" β
Wang Deshan yelled, "What do you make 30 more, without this old brother coming, we can sell the peaches of every family this year, I don't earn the benefits of 30 yuan, whoever wants to earn it will earn it themselves." β
Seeing this scene, the peddler turned around and left, "Don't call me over in the future, I have so many things to do all day long, aren't you kidding me!" β
You Shi and Cao Shi dragged the hawker and didn't let him go, "You wait a minute!" β
You Shi turned his head and started a fire towards Qin Qi, "Qin Qi, where did you find this peach harvester?" It's good for everyone to sell their own, why do you want to mix them together and collect them, it shows what you can do! Our old Wang family has your uncle and your cousin, when do you want your niece and daughter to point fingers here!
Hurry up and persuade your grandfather, I don't know how to inquire carefully, I just found this one and it is more expensive than you, Wang Meilan, what are you going to do! β
As You spoke, he patted his thighs and cried, "My poor father, father, you see that you listen to the blind work of Wang Meilan's family, you have lost a lot this time!" How much hardship have you and my mother endured all year round to get these peaches! β
Over there, the Cao family also went to rub in front of the old man on crutches.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic.
Old man Wang Zhongyi kept giving Qin Qi a look, and Qin Qi finally nodded to him secretly.
The old man waved his hand, "Okay, I don't think it's easy for everyone, the daughters-in-law there are also very filial to the old man, and they all come to help the old people in the family argue, I hope the old people in the family will not work in vain this year!" I'll accept everyone's peaches at the price of three cents, and now I should be satisfied! β
The vendor over there listened to the old man's words, turned around and left without saying a word, and today he is here to touch the mold! How did you meet such a person who sang against him, he was not here to accompany him.
You and Cao didn't react for a while, but when they understood that the price given by the old man was higher than that of the hawker, they also smiled, as if they had become the heroes of the family.
You Shi walked up to Wang Deshan and asked for a reward, "Dad, you see that my trip is still useful, in the blink of an eye, we will earn an extra 50 yuan!" I'll give you a fraction of it in a while, and I'll take the big one to your grandson to get married. β
Sure enough, the money hadn't entered the old man's pocket yet, and You Shi was worried about it.
Soon, the old man's driver began to pay money one by one according to the registered amount and price.
Wang Deshan stepped forward to receive the money, and the 1,500-pound one got 450 yuan.
"Dad, why are peaches only 1,500 pounds this year, I remember that in previous years, they were two or three thousand pounds, it shouldn't be like this!"
You Shi followed up and saw it clearly, every year she stared at Wang Deshan's income from selling peaches, so she also had a good idea of the approximate harvest.
"You've never taken medicine once, hoeed grass once, what do you know, this year's annual success is not good, and naturally you will harvest less!" Anyway, he can't say that Qin Qi helped him sell 1,000 catties.
"Then Dad, you don't usually need any money, give me 400, I'll go to your grandson to get married, and then you will inevitably be invited to drink when you are old."
You really didn't care about it at all, in front of so many old people, she asked for money.
The Cao family over there was not far behind, "Dad, I also want to save money to build a house for your grandson and marry a daughter-in-law, and I will collect the money in a while!" β
Over there, Qin Shu was in a hurry, thinking of rushing out to reason with You Shi.
Who knew that the old man Wang Zhongyi and others had received the money, so they beckoned You and Cao to come to him and boasted in front of everyone.
"Everyone has the money, I'll say a few more words! I think these two daughters-in-law are the most filial, and I have heard before that many unsuccessful children and grandchildren in the village are thinking about the meager income of the old man all day long, which is simply not true!
The two of you are good, come to help the old man argue, in the future you two will also help watch the point in the village, who has that unreasonable son and daughter-in-law, want to come to this mountain to find the old man to ask for money, tell me, let's scold him together, make sure to let her go up the mountain, go down the mountain! β
When You Shi heard this, she didn't know what to take for a while, she had never heard words praising her filial piety in her life!
Rao is that she has no face and no skin, and after a lot of killing, she couldn't open her mouth for the time being and asked the old man for money, her mouth trembled for a long time, and she said, "Who said no, we don't care about the old man's money!" β
Over there, Cao's hand had already reached out and touched the edge of the money, and pretended to come up to dust the money, and said, "That's it, this money is reserved for the old man for a year, and I have to rush back to cook, sister-in-law, you can't leave!" β
You didn't get the money, and it took most of the day, she was really unwilling, but it was obviously not good to stay here, so she had to walk over and pick up Cao's arm, and the two of them fled together.
After these two dozen autumn winds were gone, the old people began to sigh and complain to Wang Zhongyi.
"There's no way, now we are old people with this treatment, how can we be grandparents have the joy of being grandchildren, we will get in the account all year round, and if we don't put it for three or five days, we have to be taken out."
Wang Zhongyi laughed twice, "Old brothers, old sisters, I can see your situation at a glance, but it's not worth it to quarrel with them, right?" After all, there are also their own sons and grandsons living there. In the future, we will have to rely on them to support the elderly, right, I have a clear mind about you. β
Everyone nodded together, and the soft-hearted one began to wipe his tears, and everyone actually understood what happened just now.
"Brother, it's hard for you to help us sell peaches, and help us keep the money in our hands, no matter what, stay for a day!" Grandpa on crutches said.
"The 3 Mao I just talked about, I'm also afraid that they will ask you for too much, it's not easy for us to live when we're old, and I've seen a lot of children and grandchildren who are worse than this!
Don't worry, I still collect this peach at the price of 1 yuan and 1 catty, and you can hide the rest, as the money on your side, they really want to come to loot, you will give it according to 3 cents, but remember it, no one's mouth is allowed to talk nonsense! β
Wang Zhongyi waved his hand, like a general commanding thousands of troops!
