Aunt Osmanthus is already in her fifties, there are more than a dozen people in the family, and the daily food is a large expenditure, when Xia Yao arrived, she was holding her youngest grandson with a sad face, and carefully feeding the chickens.

Xia Yao's eyes were sharp and he saw three little chicks.

When she saw this little chick, her eyes lit up.

The market in the city is vast, not to mention a small Qingshui brigade, even if it is the entire commune, the chickens raised, and the eggs laid by the chickens cannot supply the needs of the county.

What's more, she can't buy and sell in the Qingshui Brigade, she must find a way to cross the clear road of this matter, speculation is not safe after all, in this poor village, her family is too conspicuous to live well, if you want to really make money, then you have to drive the whole village.

Xia Yao thought so in his heart, and he already had a countermeasure.

But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this matter has to be discussed with Captain Zhou, and I have to cross the clear road from the commune.

Xia Yao carried the pastry and walked quickly to Aunt Osmanthus.

"Auntie!" Xia Yao smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"What do you want to bring?" Aunt Osmanthus immediately waved her hand and motioned for Xia Yao to take the things away.

Xia Yao didn't do it, and directly stuffed the things into Aunt Osmanthus's hand: "This is not a small favor, I have to work hard for you for a few days!" ”

"I heard that my aunt's needlework is one of the best in the team, so I wanted to ask my aunt to make two sets of clothes for each of them according to the height and size of Dabao and Xiaobao."

As soon as Aunt Osmanthus heard Xia Yao's words, her movements slowed down.

Four sets of clothes is indeed not a small job.

Before she could think clearly, the free hand was stuffed into something by Xia Yao, and she fixed her eyes and found that it was a big unity.

"Hey, hey......" Aunt Osmanthus hurriedly waved her hand.

Xia Yao said: "Auntie, if you go to the county seat to buy four sets of clothes, whether you can buy them or not, even if you buy them, you have to pay more than a dozen yuan a set, I spent more than 20 yuan to buy these cloths, even if you add your manual fees, it is cheaper than the one you buy now!" Not to mention that your handiwork is better than what is sold in the county! ”

Xia Yao's words were very pleasant.

Although Aunt Osmanthus was embarrassed to hear it, she still said proudly: "It's not!" I was an embroiderer, but I ...... back then."

Halfway through the words, Aunt Osmanthus was stuck, and she waved her hand: "But you still give too much, five yuan!" It's just five pieces! ”

As she spoke, she touched her inner pocket to find money for Xia Yao.

Xia Yao's eyes rolled and he proposed: "Auntie, I don't have much money in my hands, but I am a little short of meat, otherwise...... Will you sell me some more eggs? ”

"Didn't you just exchange twenty eggs with me the day before yesterday and eat them so quickly?" Aunt Osmanthus was startled, then grabbed Xia Yao's hand and said worriedly, "Xia Zhiqing, don't you do anything...... That's going to be jailed! ”

Xia Yao hurriedly shook his head: "Auntie, what do you think?" How could I have such courage? I'm just sending it to a friend I know in the city, otherwise...... I don't have a cloth ticket either! ”

Hearing this, Aunt Osmanthus breathed a sigh of relief and looked away a little embarrassed.

She also thought that Xia Yao was going to do something speculative, so she had the money to buy this and that.

"Okay." Aunt Osmanthus nodded, "I'll get you some more eggs, it just hasn't been sent to the purchase station yet." ”

Her family lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of eggs, and the eggs saved by a dozen hens are very considerable.

Before, their family took it to the acquisition station, and the supply and marketing cooperatives bought eggs, three or five of them, and there were more than 100 left at home, so it was better to go to the acquisition station to change to Xia Yao.

It's just that......

She glanced at Xia Yao, but Xia Yao's eyes were clear and not dirty at all, but it seemed that her thoughts were a little unsightly.

"Don't worry, I'll make good clothes for your two children!" Aunt Osmanthus sighed in her heart.

I always heard from the people in the village that Xia Yao was lazy and tortured the two children, but after getting along for the past few days, she felt that Xia Yao was a good child, and which aunt was willing to make new clothes for the two children?

These four sets of clothes cost forty yuan!

As Aunt Osmanthus spoke, she went to the room, ready to count out the eggs and give them to Xia Yao.

At this time, Xia Yao suddenly said: "My friend said that there is a special shortage of eggs in the city, and they are sold for six cents each." ”

Aunt Osmanthus's hands trembled, and it was one and a half more! Their family can collect more than a dozen eggs a day, which is counted...... Isn't it more than a dozen dollars a month?

But soon, she dispelled this idea, and told Xia Yao: "Xia Zhiqing, although the price of the acquisition station is low, it is safer for us, if we do that kind of speculative thing, we will be caught in the squatting situation!" ”

Xia Yao nodded, but after a change of words, he asked again: "But I see that the Shangyang Brigade raises sheep and sells them, and they sell them openly, and I don't think the county has stopped them." ”

"The Shangyang Brigade has signed contracts with several factories in the county, which is different from those speculative ones!" Aunt Osmanthus shook her head, "Our Qingshui Brigade can't compare." ”

However, Xia Yao's next sentence made Aunt Osmanthus stunned.

"Why can't our brigade be the same as the Shangyang brigade? Although we have mountains, water, and fields, what can we raise sheep? ”

"Whether it's raising chickens and ducks or raising pigs and cows, we can do it." Xia Yao smiled at Aunt Shang's osmanthus smile, "Auntie, what do you think?" ”

"If we can follow the Shangyang Brigade and get our own cooperative, just one egg, not to mention selling six cents, let's sell it for five cents, ten is five cents, and a hundred is five yuan! 1,000, 10,000! ”

Money! It's all money!

Aunt Osmanthus felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, she pinched her sleeves tightly, and the prospect described by Xia Yao made her have to yearn for it.

"I think ......" Aunt Osmanthus sat on the chair and muttered, "It makes sense, the output of our field is more than that of the Shangyang brigade!" What they can do in the Shangyang Brigade, we can also do it! ”

Xia Yao watched Aunt Osmanthus look at the change in her eyes with satisfaction, and was very pleased.

It's not in vain that she has been laying the groundwork for so long.

Rural cooperatives are in line with the rules, but the life of the Qingshui Brigade is simple and timid, and they dare not think about it.

Aunt Osmanthus is a resolute person, and after she understood Xia Yao's words, her eyes became firm.

"Xia Zhiqing, you're right!" Aunt Osmanthus looked solemn, "Our Qingshui Brigade can't be poor for a lifetime!" ”

"Later, I'll let the kid at home bring you eggs, you take the two children back first, I have something to find the captain!"

Aunt Osmanthus said as she went out with her grandson in her arms.

Lu Tiantian and Lu Changbai saw Xia Yao's words, which made Aunt Osmanthus full of fighting spirit, and her eyes widened.

Xia Yao met the two pairs of shocked eyes, and rubbed the heads of the two with crooked eyebrows.

"Let's go, let's go home, I'll make you milk powder to drink."

As soon as Lu Tiantian heard Xia Yao's words, she couldn't help but have her eyes shining: "What is milk powder?" ”

"I'm nourishing you." Xia Yao replied gently, "You'll know later." ”

Lu Tiantian nodded as if she didn't understand, and Lu Changbai was thoughtful.

"Captain!"

Aunt Osmanthus walked to the east of the village in a hurry, and before she entered the door, she shouted first.

Captain Zhou smoked a dry cigarette, the fold between his two eyebrows was deep enough to trap a mosquito, and when he heard the voice of Aunt Osmanthus, he sighed.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to tell you something."

Aunt Osmanthus couldn't hide the excitement on her face, she walked in front of Captain Zhou in three steps and two steps, and said in a loud voice: "Let's run a cooperative like the Shangyang Brigade!" ”

"Ahem!"

In the hall, Captain Zhou coughed so much that his lungs were about to come out.

Aunt Osmanthus didn't realize that it was because of her own words that Captain Zhou reacted so violently, she frowned: "I said Captain, you smoke less, don't you see your sister-in-law's face?" ”

"What do women know about ......" Captain Zhou tried his best to maintain his image as a patriarch, but the old wife's eye knife flew over, and he immediately changed his breath, "Don't worry, I know everything, look at what tobacco is in my cigarette stick!" ”

Aunt Osmanthus smiled, did not poke Captain Zhou, but continued to talk about the cooperative.

"Today, I heard Xia Zhiqing say that the eggs in the city are sold for six cents, and we can only sell them to the acquisition station for three or five!"

When Captain Zhou heard Xia Yao's name, he couldn't help frowning: "What else did Xia Zhiqing say?" ”

As soon as she saw Captain Zhou's appearance, Aunt Osmanthus said angrily: "Don't worry, Xia Zhiqing didn't say anything, she can be obedient!" She just mentioned it to me and asked why our brigade couldn't get its own cooperative like the Shangyang brigade, so that the villagers could benefit. ”

Captain Zhou's brows furrowed even more: "How can it be so easy to do?" ”

"It's easy to start a cooperative, but what about the money? If you are engaged in breeding like the Shangyang Brigade, you always need to pay for it, and our brigade can't get money for raising six pigs, and where are the chickens selling eggs? We are not like the Shangyang Brigade, but the Shangyang Brigade has a deputy factory director! ”

Captain Zhou had these thoughts a long time ago.

Aunt Osmanthus was stumped by these questions, but when she thought of the almost double money, she was full of pride in her heart.

"Captain! We haven't done it yet! You just pour cold water on yourself! Aunt Osmanthus slapped the table, "What's wrong with the deputy factory director?" It's just a few more words than us! Isn't our village without cultured people? I'm good at Xia Zhiqing! ”

"Didn't she cure swine fever before? Let's ask Xia Zhiqing! Aunt Osmanthus said in a very loud voice, "Our brigade can't stay so poor forever!" ”

Before Captain Zhou could reply, he was dragged by Aunt Osmanthus to Lu's house.
