Chapter 27: The matchmaker comes to the door
"Comrade, I don't have any food on hand now, can I give it to you tomorrow?" Xu Zishan stopped the van, this old man asked for food yesterday, and today he asked for food.
"Little comrade, if you can give me a batch of better today, comrades have not been able to eat for many days."
"Why don't you go to the grocery station to buy it?"
"Your food is good, we can't grab it from the people, and we don't have enough funds."
Old man Xie spoke very concisely, and said three meanings in one sentence.
Xu Zishan wanted to laugh a little, he couldn't rob the people, this sounds quite noble, but what do you mean by lack of funds?
Don't want to pay for my food?
Quietly looked at the old man, this old man had a faint sense of rebelliousness, listening to this tone, she was a little unsure of the identity of the other party.
"Little comrade, I will definitely give you the money, can you give it to me at the price of the vegetable station?"
"Oh, then I'll give you a run later. However, let's say okay, if you pour the dishes, not only will we not be able to cooperate, but I will report you! ”
"Don't worry, I swear in the honor of a party member that I will never pour vegetables, and I won't make a penny difference."
Xu Zishan smiled, this old man looks a little fierce, but she still sees it very clearly, don't ask what the reason is, social experience!
Dishes are not given to whom!
Not to mention that the old man is upright, he is evil, she doesn't care, she has three small attacking vines, what are you afraid of!
"Comrade, then you wait here for a while, I estimate that I will come over in half an hour."
The van drove out, and soon, she was gone.
Even the car and the people have entered the space.
It was too sunny outside, and she didn't want to leave too many marks with the van.
After resting for half an hour, she reappeared at the intersection again, and the old man Xie was really squatting on the side of the road, but this time there was another fat old man.
Seeing that they were all very old, the new fat old man looked at Xu Zishan and smiled heartily: "Little comrade, I have worked hard for you." ”
"It's not hard, have you brought the money?" Brothers settle accounts clearly, and do not set friendships.
Old man Xie took the money out of his pocket and showed her, Gaga's new 10 yuan bill, maybe it was just taken out by the bank.
Xu Zishan pointed to the vegetables in the van and said to the two old men: "You are old, you can move as much as you can." I counted the weights on the basket and just counted the money. ”
Her space weighbridge, absolutely infallible, is accurate to the third decimal place.
The two old men competed the same way, basket by basket, and they did not load the tricycle, but kept moving it to the ground.
Move them all!
"Can you take that much?" Xu Zishan saw it, these two old men were definitely not ordinary old men, just the big basket of vegetables, the two of them were more neat than the young people.
Especially the old man, he was dry, but his strength and sensitivity were incredible.
The two old men finished moving all the dishes in the carriage in one go, and Xu Zishan didn't ask for much, so she charged 50 yuan according to the price of the vegetable station, a total of half a ton.
The fat old man was almost overjoyed: "Lao Xie, you can do it, I have never seen such a good dish, I said okay, I want to take a few of these lotus roots to make soup." ”
"No." Old man Xie said solemnly, "Go to your son's house to eat." ”
Xu Zishan wanted to laugh a little, these two old men were very cute.
Back in town, took the van into the space and headed home.
At the gate of the courtyard, I met Hao Jianjun who was off work.
"Where did Shanshan go?" Hao Jianjun is white and chubby, wears a pair of brown glasses, speaks very politely, is very gentle, and has a good cultivation.
"Hello Uncle Hao, I'm going to grandpa's house."
"Today I went to the county for a meeting, the county sent out some stationery, I don't need it, you ask Xiao Wei to come to me at night to get it."
"Thank you, Uncle Hao, my brother has stationery, you can keep it for yourself."
"Okay, come to me if you need it." Hao Jianjun was not reluctant, and pushed the bicycle home.
Xu Zishan squinted at Hao Jianjun's back, thoughtful.
Xu Yingjie saw her come back and said, "It's hot on the road, right?" Go wash your face. ”
"Okay!"
Washing his face, Xu Zishan suddenly thought of Shen Yaqin borrowing money from her neighbors.
Their family has been eating fish, meat and rice these days, and the relationship in the courtyard is good, if they are careful, they will definitely be scolded behind their backs, they owe money, and they eat big fish and meat.
"Dad, how much do we owe our neighbors?"
"Don't worry about it, your mother will take care of these things." Xu Yingjie didn't want her to be stressed.
"How much do you owe?"
"It's not much, I owe you 23 yuan to Grandma Hu, 28 yuan to Stationmaster Hao, and 10 yuan to the Fang Cheng family next door......"
The bits and pieces add up to more than 70 dollars.
This is all the income of Xu Yingjie and Shen Yaqin for two months without eating or drinking, and for a small town family, they are already in debt.
No, I owe money to others, I don't dare to eat a good meal, I have to find a way to pay it back quickly, what is more than 70 yuan, she can earn 806 yuan in two days!
"Dad, does Uncle Hao help us a lot, especially take care of my brother a lot?"
"He, he was only transferred to our town three years ago, and his wife and children are all in his hometown. I usually take care of our family, your mother and I are too busy, and we originally focused on Xiaoli and Mingxuan, so we couldn't take care of Xiaoxuan, and you Uncle Hao helped take care of it. ”
Xu Yingjie said gratefully, "He often gives Xiao Mo food and clothing, and he often says that he has a relationship with Xiao Wei, like a son." ”
"You said my little brother often lives at his house?"
"Yes, he is literate and very patient to tutor your brother in his studies. It's a pity that Xiao Hui's temper has become more and more eccentric in the past two years, and I don't know what to do, and your mother and I are very worried. ”
Xu Yingjie said that there was a neighbor's son who fell into the reservoir behind him and drowned, the child had a good relationship with Xiao Wei since he was a child, he and Shen Yaqin kept thinking, the child died, did Xiao Wei fall into evil?
The child who died was one year older than Xu Mingjiao, it is said that he had a round face, and he loved to laugh and be very cute when he was a child, but he suddenly fell into the reservoir and drowned two years ago, which is a pity.
She decided to take the time to talk to her little brother about life!
The top priority is to lift the Xu family out of poverty.
The vegetables she planted will be harvested in more than half a month, and now she helps Shen Yaqin design clothing patterns, plus selling vegetables, it is possible to earn one or two thousand yuan a month with a little hard work.
Xu Zishan and Xu Yingjie talked for a while, and then went to the sewing shop to see Shen Yaqin.
There was a woman in her forties sitting in the shop, and when she saw Xu Zishan, her eyes showed shock, and she said with a smile: "This is your daughter, right?" Look at how good-looking she looks, and compare all the girls in our Dongpu District. ”
Shen Yaqin smiled and said to Xu Zishan: "Shanshan, this is your aunt." ”
Xu Zishan called Aunt Fang hello, and when he saw that the other party was looking at him with a smile, he also looked at the other party seriously.
Xu Zishan's eyes are very poisonous, and he can see at a glance that this Aunt Fang is not an ordinary township aunt, this, nine times out of ten, she is a matchmaker!!
Oh, it's only been a few days, and a matchmaker has come to the door?
