In Xiao Hong's opinion, there are too many ways to make money now, even if you set up a stall, you can make a fortune.

It's a pity that many people were shocked by what happened more than ten years ago, and they had a 'thief's heart' but didn't dare to have 'thief's guts'.

And in the eyes of most people, the most important thing in a person's life is face, and small traders are the existence that people look down on.

The small traders who have made money are also afraid of any more policies, and they dare not make too much publicity.

As a result, many people don't know how much money the current small traders can make.

When everyone knows, when they see others envious when they eat fragrant and spicy food, even if they want to follow the trend again, the market is almost saturated, and the market is almost scraped.

Therefore, she does not want to do this business for a long time now.

The main thing is that the slaughterhouse is in the city, too far away from them.

Even though there are more than 20 small villages under the jurisdiction of Houzhai Town, there are more than 10,000 people, but there are only two meat stalls in the town, and the maximum number of pigs is four per day.

Most of these pigs are raised by farmers, and a small part are fed by the butchers themselves, just to make up the number when the farmers don't have pigs to kill.

Of course, the butchers also have their own channels to buy large pigs that can be slaughtered.

It's a pity that the purchasing power of the people is not enough now.

Especially now that the weather is hot, they kill up to two pigs a day.

Therefore, when Xiao Hong went to Dingzhu to enter the water, it was also very smooth.

Give them a deposit of five yuan a day in advance, and make up the rest when they get the difference.

In the next half month, their business was rain or shine.

Now Xiao Hong doesn't have to go to the town every day, and the three of them take turns with her mother or Xiao Fang.

The main reason is that she thinks that the road is bumpy and difficult to ride, and the people are not easy, and she is afraid that she will not be able to keep up with her studies, so she reads books or practices mathematics by herself at home.

If you don't understand something, ask Xiao Fang.

However, Wu Julan had never read a book, and only recognized a few words when she was running a literacy class, so she was always worried that she would find the wrong money, so she either went with Xiao Fang or asked Yanyan to accompany her.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of August 17th.

Zhao Laosi was very happy when he came back: "We're going to have electricity here, I signed up, and I can dig a pit in a few days." ”

It's not that he can't find the job of a mason.

It's that his father and his third brother are both craftsmen.

Especially his third brother has a bad leg and has to take medicine every month, so he tries not to grab business with his father and third brother.

Therefore, he usually rides his bicycle to distant villages to solicit business, or simply goes to Hejia orchard to work as a small worker.

He Sheng is the richest person in their village, and he has contracted more than 20 acres of land to plant peach and pear trees.

In spring and summer, the tree is covered with green manure, weeding, before flowering, irrigation during the fruiting period, top dressing, and pruning fruit branches in winter.

He is one of the permanent day workers.

Now that all the fruits of the peach and pear trees have been picked and the work to be done has been done, he was going to go out on his bicycle to get work, but now that the electricity is about to be turned on, he will have a job to do.

If you want to be energized, you have to pull the wire first, and then you have to install the pole first.

It was nearly twenty miles from the town to them, and there had to be a telephone pole a few dozen meters away.

And a telephone pole requires a pit, which will take at least more than ten days to work.

He was happy to be able to earn money and get electricity.

"That's good, the lights are on." Wu Julan was not very excited when she heard this, after all, when the electricity was turned on, it meant that there was an extra expenditure on electricity bills.

Yanyan was very excited when she heard this, and asked expectantly: "Then can our family buy a TV?" ”

These days, she went to town, only to find out that the black-and-white TV set in the modern store was actually playing Journey to the West, which is beautiful.

"The TV is in the hundreds," Wu Julan was of course unwilling, looking at her little daughter's eager eyes, she gently refused: "Wait, let's buy it in a few years." ”

Yan Yan moved her eyes to the eldest sister's face.

In her heart, the eldest sister is the richest and most capable, and what the eldest sister says, her parents generally will not refuse.

The Xiao family bought a fourteen-year-old Haiyan brand black-and-white TV a few years ago, and she used to like to watch it, but now she doesn't feel like it.

What she needed more was a tape recorder that could play English tapes.

So she comforted her sister: "When you go to elementary school, you have been in the top five in your class for three consecutive years, let's buy it." ”

Zhao Yanyan is eight years old this year, and she will be a first-grade elementary school student when school starts.

She also discovered that Yanyan is actually quite well-behaved, but she doesn't like to study much.

But it can't be said that she is not a good child, whether it is pulling weeds in the field, doing housework, or even washing pigs and water, she is very diligent.

Although Xiao Hong herself also calculated that even if she was admitted to university, it would be better to do business to make money, but it was always good to learn more knowledge.

And only what you learn is the most valuable asset.

Yan Yan couldn't help but pounce in front of Xiao Hong, afraid that she would regret it, and said excitedly: "Then let's hang ourselves on the hook, and we won't change for a hundred years." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Hong happily stretched out her hand and pulled the hook with her: "When you go to school, you have to listen carefully, and if you don't, ask me and your second sister." ”

Zhao Laosi glanced at Xiao Hong in surprise when he heard this, and he was a little grateful in his heart.

He also knew that his biological daughter had not yet learned how to learn, and now Xiao Hong's words were like fishing a carrot in front of Yanyan.

You don't have to rush yourself, Yanyan will also study hard.

As long as Yanyan can study hard, he is willing to do it no matter how expensive it is.

Therefore, he smiled: "I will put down a few more cages in the evening, and we will eat fish and shrimp tomorrow." ”

Wu Julan thought of buying it three years later, but she didn't say anything.

Everyone has a heart of comparison, and when the electricity is turned on, if everyone buys a TV, they will buy it even if they grit their teeth, otherwise they will always feel uncomfortable, like they are shorter.

Besides, Xiao Hong also told herself, she will take the money she earns now, and when she starts school, then she will do the business by herself.

She now also knows that doing business is really making money, and if the business is good, she can earn money to buy a TV in a few months.

Especially these days, she makes lo-mei, and the taste is no worse than that made by her daughter.

Most of the time it can be sold out, and even if there is not much left.

When she thought about it, she was full of energy.

"Xiao Hong, this spice is running out."

"Then I'll go buy spices with you tomorrow, and I'll go to the bookstore by the way." After Xiao Hong finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Fang who was burning the fire: "Why don't we go together?" Pick some question books to do? ”

Xiao Fang responded: "Okay." ”

Early the next morning, the sisters rode their bicycles together to the town to sell lo-mei.

What they didn't know was that not far away, three young men were staring at them and collecting money.

The short and stocky young man said in an obscene tone: "Brother Lei, I'm not wrong, right?" These two girls are good-looking, and they have a lot of money in their pockets, if we do it, it will be a gain for both people and money. ”

"That's good," the tall man in bell bottoms and combing his chin touched his chin: "You lead the way, let's take the guy to find a place to ambush." ”
