When he came to Xiao Zhengping's house, Chen Yan suddenly felt deceived, so many fungi had to be sorted and picked up, and he had to pick them up in the township when he was finished, which was not much easier than his father's flue-cured tobacco.

Xiao Zhengping coaxed and tricked, and pulled Chen Yan to put the fungus in the bamboo basket, but the basket was not enough, so he asked Chen Yan to go home and get two more.

In the end, the two of them came to He Yongfu with two loads of mushrooms that had already sprouted, and at the same time that He Yongfu's jaw was almost shocked, the two loads of mushrooms were sold for more than 300 yuan.

He Yongfu didn't have enough money in his hand, so he took another hundred in his daughter's hand to make up enough money for Xiao Zhengping.

Looking at the thick pile of banknotes, Chen Yan finally showed a smile.

On the way back, Xiao Zhengping played with the banknotes in his hand, he first selected two hundred yuan, and said in front of Chen Yan's eyes: "This is the capital, of which eighty is borrowed." ”

After speaking, he showed the more than 140 yuan in his other hand, "This is pure today's earnings, and we should have divided it in half, but since we are working together, then you have to take out a part as a cost." ”

Xiao Zhengping took out another fifty from the more than one hundred and forty yuan and stuffed it back into his pocket, "This fifty is the cost you invested, and then these twenty yuan is the money you earn today." ”

Chen Yan took the twenty yuan, his expression was obviously displeased, "Dare to work all day, just these twenty?" ”

Xiao Zhengping smiled, "Twenty is not enough?" Hu Shanchuan's monthly salary is only more than 20! Don't look at the hundreds of dollars I took, two hundred of which were used to collect fungi, and I have a hundred more than you! In addition, I have to pay back eighty dollars, and the rest is my own money, which I have earned so hard. ”

"Well, that's what I said, you don't have to explain it to me so much, I understand."

"Hehe," Xiao Zhengping patted Chen Yan on the shoulder, "Today, count you as a day for me, from tomorrow, it will be the day you make money, wait." ”

In this way, the two of them talked all the way to Xiao Zhengping's house, because the two came back early, and there was no one at the gate of Xiao Zhengping's yard.

The two chatted for a while, and when it was time to finish eating, people came to the door with baskets.

After a lot of hard work, the two hundred yuan that Xiao Zhengping kept for the cost was not enough, and he posted another twenty yuan to fill in the money.

Now Chen Yan understood that the fungi in the courtyard were a lot of money, and he was very happy, and when he saw that Xiao Zhengping had to cook dinner alone, he took him to his house.

......

When sorting the fungi the next day, Xiao Zhengping asked Chen Yan to get it first, and he went to the second uncle's house himself.

When Xiao Zhengwen was found, he was lying on the bed reading the newspaper, and everyone else went to the uncle's house to manage the flue-cured tobacco.

Xiao Zhengping took out two yuan and handed it to Xiao Zhengwen, "Brother, this is the money from selling baskets, you take it." ”

Xiao Zhengwen looked at the two yuan, but didn't take it, "Pingzi, your brother I'm not stupid, can those baskets be sold for so much money?" I'll be happy enough to sell it, you don't have to pity me. ”

"Hehe, brother is smart, you're right, the basket is half sold and half sent back for more than a dollar. But you have to take this money, it's not that I pity you, I don't want to affect your enthusiasm, and I have to buy you two baskets privately, a little bigger. ”

"If you want to take the basket directly, what are we talking about whether to buy it or not?"

"Brother, this is your fault, as the old saying goes, brothers settle accounts, and the closer we are, the more we should calculate clearly."

"Okay, you have to figure it out, don't come to my house for dinner in the future!"

Having said this, Xiao Zhengping understands that the money can't be given, as he himself said, this cousin is not a fool, before his leg was broken, his cousin was a girl from ten miles and eight towns and all begged to marry a good offspring, for no other reason - steadfast, hardworking, shrewd, and kind, and it is precisely because of this that he married such a good sister-in-law.

In desperation, Xiao Zhengping had no choice but to take back one yuan and stuff the other one under Xiao Zhengwen's futon, "I really convinced you, you have to keep this dollar." ”

Xiao Zhengwen lifted the quilt and took out the money, "It's pretty much the same!" Alas, by the way, did you say hello about selling cigarettes? ”

Xiao Zhengping didn't think about it, nodded and replied: "No problem, I've asked everything, and no one said anything." ”

"Really?" Xiao Zhengwen didn't seem to believe it.

"Really!"

"Great, so what are we going to do?"

"I've thought about it, the people who smoke loose cigarettes are all cigarette pouches, pots or cigarettes, brother, you cut the cigarettes from the eldest and second uncle's family into shredded tobacco, and I'll take them to the market to sell them first. When I'm free, I'll go outside and ask where I want these cigarettes, and if the situation is good, we'll take back all the cigarettes from the team. ”

Xiao Zhengwen pondered carefully after listening, and then said affirmatively: "It can be done!" I'll get to work this afternoon. ”

Seeing that his cousin's momentum was boosted, Xiao Zhengping smiled, "Brother, don't cut too much, I'll go to the market first to see the reaction, and if the reaction is good, let's do a big job." I'll have to go down the hill to sell mushrooms, so I'll go first. ”

When he returned home with the bamboo basket, Chen Yan had already finished the examination, and the two of them continued to work for almost an hour before carrying two large loads of fungi down the mountain.

Chen Yan was very happy today, in addition to the "cost" of two hundred yuan, he and Xiao Zhengping shared almost one hundred yuan.

Seeing that Chen Yan was about to grin at the corner of his forehead, Xiao Zhengping poured a scoop of cold water inappropriately, "Don't be too happy, now everyone knows that sheep and bamboo girls are easy to sell, so they all pick these things tightly, and they will be gone in a few days." Even if it is a fir fungus, so many people will definitely pick it less and less. ”

"Whatever, I've earned so much today, I'm happy today, and I'll talk about it later."

......

A day later, it was time for Xiao Xiuye to go home, and Xiao Zhengping bought a large round table for this purpose, and made a big table of big fish and meat.

He called the eldest uncle and aunt, as well as the second uncle and the first family, because Chen Yan checked the fungus at his house, so Xiao Zhengping also kept him.

Xiao Xiuye was stunned when she entered the house, she couldn't remember the last time there were so many people sitting in her yard.

"Aunt Uncle? Second uncle and second mother? How did you guys get here? Brother, where did you get so many fungi? ”

"Your brother called us to come over to celebrate you, saying that from now on, our Ye'er will be high school students!" The second aunt's piercing voice replaced everyone's answers.

"You don't even ask me how I did on the exam!" Looking at the eldest brother who came to pick up things, Xiuye said angrily.

Xiao Zhengping took off the schoolbag on Xiuye's shoulder, put one hand on her shoulder and said with a smile: "What is there to ask about this, our Ye'er can take the exam whatever he wants." ”

"Brother, where did you get so many fungi?" Xiuye didn't continue to talk about the topic, but asked the previous question again, and it could be seen that she was very confident about being admitted to high school.

"I collected it with your Brother Chen Yan, in the past two days, we have collected mushrooms in the team, and then picked them to sell in the township, and after eating later, these mushrooms have to be picked."

Xiuye suddenly thought of something, and excitedly pulled Xiao Zhengping and said, "Brother, high school only starts at the end of August, I can help you work!" ”
