Chapter 21: There is hope for the days

Evening in the countryside.

As the last rays of the sun went down, the village was immersed in peace and tranquility.

People who had gone out to work returned to their homes one after another, and smoke was rising from the roofs of every house.

Su Jinshun and Su Manjin completed the transaction from the restaurant, and went to the hospital to bring dinner to Su Yutian and the brothers, and the grandfather and grandson returned home with joy.

Su Yuhui and his wife also came back from talking about things with the village chief's house.

The family sat around for dinner.

The food these days is obviously better than before. Since my family rushed to the sea, there has been more seafood on the table, the family's public grocery fund has been funded, and there has been more meat.

Even Su Jinyang's little face is a lot rounder, and the complexion of the family is also healthier.

Days are getting better. The atmosphere at home is also much more relaxed.

Su Jinshun has been in a relaxed mood these days, and he has talked more, not as dull and silent as before.

After eating, it's time to settle the bill every day.

Su Jinshun handed the list of the kitchen in the back of the restaurant to his eldest son, "Yuhui, you can take a look, these are the goods sent at noon and evening today, and the restaurant has compiled the list." ”

Su Yuhui skipped the details, first looked at the total amount, and the total column read: 599.7 yuan!

He was startled, and hurriedly went to look at the details, only to see the first line written: "Eel 6.5 catties, 143 yuan!" ”

"Dad, make no mistake, this eel can be sold for such an expensive price?" Su Yuhui couldn't believe it.

Su Jinshun glanced at his son: "Xiaoman talked to Boss Wang about 22 yuan a catty!" This eel is wild, and it is also big, very tonic, and can also be used as medicine. ”

He confidently said what his granddaughter had just said in the restaurant :)

"Moreover, I think that Boss Wang should want to take it back and keep it for his family to eat."

Su Yuhui was silent. The next time you catch it, you have to leave it to your family to replenish your body.

Continue to look at the list: "Big blue crab 8.3 catties, 124.5 yuan, big horn snail 7.4 catties, 74 yuan, wild crucian carp 3.8 catties, 57 yuan, clams 8.7 catties, 87 yuan, clams 7.5 catties, 15 yuan, snails 4.1 catties, 8.2 yuan, bamboo clams 4.2 catties, 63 yuan, small squid 2.8 catties, 28 yuan." ”

Su Yuhui was silent again after reading it, changing careers is really the right choice!

I can't imagine that this day's income is worth three days' wages as a quarryman!

Su Jinshun understood the shock of his eldest son, and he was also in this mood the first few times he received money.

He said with a smile: "Our Xiaoman has a good eye, and the variety and quantity sent to the restaurant every day basically meet the demand." Boss Wang is also a cheerful person, and we have accepted everything we sent. ”

Su Yuhui glanced at his smiling daughter: "Xiaoman's proposal for our family to change careers seems to be right, this income from catching up with the sea is really good." ”

Su Manjin arrogant: "That's!" Daddy, you can compliment me more :)"

Su Yuhui was amused by his daughter: "Our Xiaoman is really amazing!" ”

"Dad~ I want to praise too~" Xiao Jinyang was not to be left behind, and followed the coquettish.

"Yes, yes, when our Xiaoyang grows up, he will definitely be as powerful as his sister!" Su Yuhui responded with a smile.

Xiao Jinyang has always been her sister's number one supporter, and when she heard her father say that she was as powerful as her sister, she was immediately happy.

It doesn't matter if my father praises me now, or if I say I will be in the future, I'm just as good as my sister :)

Su Jinshun watched his children and grandchildren laugh and joke with each other, and he and his wife also smiled at each other. Zhou Xiuni's eyes are also full of expectation, there is hope for this day!

"Okay, let's settle today's accounts first." Su Jinshun continued.

"Today's total income is 599.7 yuan, and Xiaoman's share is 119 yuan."

"In addition to sending the goods to the restaurant, the rest can be used as side dishes, which can be regarded as deducting part of the food expenses, and the maximum daily vegetable fund in the future will be 20 yuan."

"In this way, there are still 460 yuan left, and the four of us will each share 115 yuan."

Su Yumei cheered: "Wow, this is equivalent to almost four days' wages!! ”

Su Jinshun is more conservative: "This time, it was mainly the fishing net next to the oyster pillar that intercepted the wild eel, and let Xiao Man talk about a good price, so that there was this number." ”

Su Yumei retorted: "Yesterday, one person also had an income of 76 yuan, which is already very good." ”

Su Manjin said with a smile: "Grandpa, Dad, we have more people now, and the fishing nets on the side of the oyster pillar can be more neat." ”

The two of them bowed their heads.

"In addition, clams and snails are less valuable, so we can spend our limited time on things that can create more revenue."

"Fishing net interception should be the most profitable, and the time cost is low, we just need to wait for the tide to recede, go over and pack up the gifts from the sea, and then rearrange the fishing nets."

Xiao Jinyang watched the adults chatting in a daze, and when he heard his sister talk about the gifts from the sea, he immediately became energetic: "Sister~ I also want to receive gifts from the sea~"

Su Manjin responded with a smile: "Okay~ Tomorrow, Sister will take you there~"

After teasing his younger brother, Su Manjin continued to his grandfather and father: "The work of handling fishing nets every day should be half of the four rooms for two people." The rest of the time, you can also focus on crabs and conch on the other side of the reef, which are also valuable. ”

"Grandma and auntie, you can focus on digging clams and razor clams on the beach."

"The method of digging that razor clam, grandpa let Su Xiaosheng demonstrate it that day, although there are relatively few dug today, slowly, you should also be able to find the trick. The price of the clam king is really good. ”

Zhou Xiuni and Su Yumei nodded hurriedly. The granddaughter/niece must have made sense. As long as you can make money, you're happy :)

Su Jinshun is very satisfied with his granddaughter's arrangement, and at the same time, he can earn more income, so why not?

The family discussed the arrangements for catching the sea, and Su Jinshun talked about Su Yutian's injury again.

"Yu Tian's leg is broken, and after the drip in the past two days, he said that he would be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. You have to raise it for at least 3 months. ”

Zhou Xiuni thought for a while and said, "When Yutian comes back, there must be someone at home, and I will take care of him at home." ”

"Mei Yue's grocery store will have to get busy after it is slowly on the right track, and if she needs to go out to buy goods and so on, I can also help watch it. I'll take care of the housework at home, and you'll have a hot meal when you come back. ”

"Besides, the farm work in the fields has been down these days, and we have to find time to do it, otherwise next year's harvest will not be good."

After some discussion, it was decided that Su Yuhui would go to the former owner of the quarry to borrow a tractor tomorrow afternoon and bring Su Yutian and Su Yuwen back.

Su Manjin then announced the news of his suspension and skipping a grade, which shocked the family's jaws. Everyone's reaction is different.

Su Yumei was proud: "Xiaoman, you are awesome!" It's only the first grade, and I was able to finish the third-grade coursework. I saw you looking for Lixin tutoring and borrowing textbooks, I thought you didn't know how to do homework before asking, but I didn't expect you to go to preview and self-study! ”

Actually, Su Manjin was afraid that Aunt Nali would lose the used textbooks, and she had nowhere to borrow them when she turned around, so she deliberately took her useless textbooks home to save them first, and flipped through them by the way. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law automatically helped her think of a rhetoric.

Su Jinshun was proud: "Xiaoman, the final exam paper of the third grade of primary school, you can answer it correctly by self-study, cow!" is worthy of being the baby of my old Su family! ”

Su Manjin: ......

"I think at the beginning, your great-grandfather said that our ancestors had a prime minister and everyone, but later with the change of dynasties, it declined, and our side branch moved to this coast. It can be seen that our Xiaoman has inherited the ability of our ancestors, and we will definitely have greater prospects in the future! Come on, Xiaoman, grandpa is optimistic about you! ”

Su Manjin: ......? Well, she had no idea that there was such a story in her previous life. Which prime minister and everyone? It's not going to be Sansu, right? Laughing and crying :)

Zeng Meiyue was worried: "Xiaoman, you have only been in school for a few months, why do you have to suspend school?" What can I do if I can't keep up then? Your teacher agreed? ”

Su Manjin comforted: "Mom, don't worry, the teacher personally stared at me and made a roll." I have indeed learned all the knowledge of the third grade, and I have asked Aunt Li Xingu and Uncle Sheng Rong if I don't understand before. ”

Uncle Sheng Rong is indeed his own enlightenment teacher. There's nothing wrong with that.

"Our teachers have communicated with the principal and the dean of students, and although I am on a leave of absence, I still have to report back to school every Friday afternoon. Moreover, the principal said that in the future, if there is a competition organized by the county or school district, let me participate on behalf of the school. ”

Zeng Meiyue heard that her daughter still had to go to school and participate in competitions, and her heart was much calmer, so she no longer objected.

Su Xuhui worried: "Xiaoman, you are suspending school this time and only taking the final exam, it won't affect your graduation in the future, right?" ”

"No, Dad, the headmaster, they are counting on me to win more awards for the school. Besides, the primary school graduation exam is not very difficult, as long as I take the exam normally, there will be no problem. ”

After dealing with the interrogation of his family, Su Manjin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also in the mood to tease his younger brother.

"Xiao Jinyang, my sister doesn't have to go to school tomorrow, can I teach you to draw?"

The little doll immediately happily agreed. Su Manjin turned his head to look at his parents.

"In the future, I don't have to go to school, I plan to teach my mother to read and speak Mandarin, and if our grocery store is to develop and grow in the future, my mother must know how to write and communicate and negotiate."

Zeng Meiyue was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little worried: "Xiaoman, I haven't gone to school before, and now I'm at this age, can I learn well?" ”

"Mom, don't worry, I'll teach you slowly, learn, it's not too late to start! What I'm most afraid of is that I don't want to learn, as long as I have the heart to learn, if I can't, we will practice more, and it will be no problem. ”

Su Manjin patiently analyzed: "You just need to think about it, in the future, when society is developing, if you don't know words or can't speak Mandarin, how inconvenient it is." When you learn how to do business, you can not only talk about business, but also go out to see the outside world, read books, listen to songs, watch movies, and live a colorful life. ”

Su Yumei on the side was moved when she heard it, "Xiaoman, when you teach your sister-in-law to read and write, can I learn together?" She also wanted to go out and see the colorful world outside.

Su Yumei's family was poor when she was a child, only three brothers went to school for a few years, the eldest brother had to help the family, the third grade was not finished, and she dropped out of school early and came back to work, and the second brother and the younger brother were not the material for studying, and they didn't go to school for two years. Since she was a child, she has had to help her parents with farm work and take care of her younger brother at home, not to mention going to school.

Su Manjin felt that it was a good thing that her aunt was willing to study, so she readily agreed.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled, a little nervous, but hopeful.

Of course, they would never have imagined that Su Manjin's proposal today would completely reverse the direction of their future lives.
