Chapter 61: Making Money
This quarrel didn't come to a conclusion in the end, Liu Qin didn't know what he thought, he didn't say a word, and left directly.
No matter how angry Li Chunhua is in her heart, she can't send it alone, all the money in the family is in Liu Qin's hands, Qin Shan's salary, from the day he went to work, Liu Qin went to receive it, Liu Qin didn't let go, no matter how loud her abacus was, it was useless.
As soon as the sixth day of the Lunar New Year passes, the New Year is almost over, and Qin Shan and Liu Qin are going back to work in the factory.
The rest of the family is not idle, and there are tens of thousands of firewood boxes waiting for them at home!
Even Li Chunhua can't be idle, all the work such as cooking at home has been assigned to her, who made her hands tremble when she pasted the firewood box before! Now she doesn't have to do this, just let her ensure logistics.
The children at home are all staying at home, and the winter vacation is not over yet! Liu Qin had already calculated this, and at the beginning of this month, she added a lot of amounts.
When Qin Qing and the twins went to school, there were still about seven or eight thousand firewood boxes left at home, just this number, the Qin family was not nervous at all, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang they pasted a little every day, and came back from work in the afternoon, after eating, the family sat together, and the fire in the house was pasted, and the task was quickly completed.
At the beginning of February, when Liu Qin went to the factory to receive the money, her eyes were shining, not to mention that all the money stolen from the car was made up, and there was still a little bit left, which made her mood a good, rainy sky for many days, and finally ushered in a sunny day.
In February, the family went to work and went to school, leaving only three people at home, so Liu Qin only received a share of 40,000 yuan, and her family was very happy to be able to complete these, with this extra income, the family's monthly income exceeded 50 yuan in minutes, which made her feel more hopeful in life.
By this time, the weather outside is much better, and it is not so cold, and when the weather is good, Qinxi and Qinjiang will also go out for a walk.
The shallots in the field, as long as they are seen by the two, then they must not let go, this is a good thing, the shallots are washed and salted and put in the jar, which can be pickled into small sauerkraut, the kind that is no problem for a long time, the leaves can be used to fry and eat, especially fried with eggs or meat, old fragrant.
As far as she knows, the county's acquisition station also collects this, but the price is not high, three cents a catty, if there is enough shallots to dig, a day should be able to dig a piece of money, but the reality is that this thing is very popular, a day can dig five or six catties, even if the harvest is good.
Qin Xi will dig two or three catties at most and stop, with these things, just enough to make a difference, the rest of the time, they will go to the forest to walk around, as the weather warms up, the temperature rises, mushrooms and fungus are gradually revealing their figures, now it is still less, only sporadically grown, and after a while, there will be more.
After another half a month, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang were completely busy, when they were at home, they were busy pasting firewood boxes, and they had to take a few hours to go out to pick up mushrooms at noon and afternoon.
The mushroom is five cents a pound, but in March, the swan mushroom grows, and that thing is worth it! Don't talk about eight cents a pound, as long as you find the right place, it's a piece of pickup! That one pick up is several catties, especially in the grass, once found, it is a lot.
In the first few days, there were not many people in the forest, Qin Xi and Qin Jiang's daily income was not lower than that of Qin Shan's work, and there were more people picked up in the back, and the income decreased, but on average, they could earn four cents a day.
Coupled with Qin Xi's income from writing something, in two months, the two of them saved thirty-two yuan and five cents, and they gained a lot.
According to the old rules, Qin Xi deposited twenty yuan of it in their secret base, and the stone cave where leeks were planted was also cleaned up by them again.
At the end of November last year, the leek roots they buried in it only grew eight or nine centimeters long.
The inside was also cleaned up by them, and in the future, it will be used to pile up things, it is difficult to plant something, there is no light, there is no rainwater for natural irrigation, just relying on the two of them who live in the county town, it is simply wishful thinking to grow things in this stone cave, they are just recognizing the reality now.
In mid-April, the mushrooms and swan mushrooms are not very long, and they are tired and half dead in the woods, and they are only about a pound of harvest, and the two of them don't like to go to the forest very much, and resting at home is not much better than this.
Li Chunhua knew about the brother and sister picking up mushrooms and selling them for money, because someone saw it and told her, but for the five cents she had received, and because they didn't delay the family's work, she turned a blind eye and treated it as if she didn't see it.
In the past few days, Li Chunhua saw that the brother and sister who had been going out almost every day had been staying at home, and she finally couldn't help asking, "Qin Xi, haven't you two been picking up mushrooms recently?" ”
When she first knew what these two people were doing, she also thought about picking them up herself, after all, mushrooms can be sold for money, and picking up mushrooms is equivalent to picking up money, how could she not be moved.
But it only took her half a day to dispel this idea through physical practice and self-comfort.
Her old arms and legs, how can she compare to a young man, spend forty or fifty minutes, walk three or four miles to the forest, she is tired, and she is old, she can't see anything clearly, she gritted her teeth and persevered for two hours, and there are only six mushrooms in the basket.
On the way back, she had a sore back and legs, but she didn't suffer less, she walked all the way and rested, and when she got home, half of her life was gone, and she lay at home for two days before she recovered.
Just that time, she knew that the job of picking mushrooms was not played by an old man with her old arms and legs, even if she was heartbroken, the hardware conditions could not keep up, and it would be in vain.
As for threatening Qin Xi to pay the money, she also thought about it, but when she thought of the copper pea that she didn't eat at home now, she still dispelled this idea.
"No, there are no mushrooms in the forest, but in another half a month, in May, there will be mung beans, chicken firs, milk berries and other miscellaneous mushrooms, during this time, my brother and I are resting at home." Qin Xi lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, and said without raising his head.
The book in her hand is a book written by the literary masters of this time and space fifty years ago, and she picked it up from the scrapyard, it is very cheap, five cents a copy, and one book is enough for her to be fresh for a long time.
