Soon, my father resisted the only scale in the family, a large weighing rod and a large weighing weight, which needed to be carried by two people before and after to be weighed.

Now there is no electronic scale, every household is this old name, it is difficult to use, but the weight is very large, and when the pig is killed, even the pig can be lifted.

The hook hooked the sack, and the two of them lifted it back and forth, mobilized the scales, and soon weighed the first bag.

"Fifty-four pounds and six taels, a total of eight yuan and one cent and nine, five aunts, I'll give you eight yuan and two." As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted it in two pieces, and handed the counted money to the fifth aunt.

"Hey, it's really selling." The fifth aunt took the money, and her face couldn't contain the joy.

I usually don't have any income in the account, but this income is more than eight yuan, can I not be happy?

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

Aunt Li couldn't wait, stretched out her hand to say hello, and saw that others were losing money, and her heart was itching......

"Forty-five pounds, six dollars and seven cents and five."

"Why is it only more than forty pounds, my sack is bigger than hers." When she heard that it was only more than forty pounds, Aunt Li was a little unacceptable, and she stepped forward to take a look, and she was still a little unwilling in her heart.

"Your sack is big, but it's not true, I can't fit it when I pick it, but I don't press it down, you definitely don't weigh as much as mine."

"Oh, don't worry, Jiang Nian can still lie to you?"

Others said the same.

Only then did Aunt Li take the money.

Immediately afterwards, the other two families were all weighed, one was forty-three pounds, one was fifty-nine pounds, and the four families together totaled 201.6 pounds, and it cost Jiang Nian a total of 30 yuan and 3 cents.

A few people got the money in their hands, their faces were all beautiful, and many people nearby rushed over when they heard the sound, and when they saw Jiang Nian collecting hazelnuts, several people sold them for money, and they were all a little moved.

After all, no one can usually get a few dollars.

"Jiang Nian, will you still receive this hazelnut tomorrow?"

"Yes, why do you collect hazelnuts silently, you must know that if you collect them, we will also go up the mountain to pick them."

"Collect, a lot of it!"

Jiang Nian did not hesitate at all, and continued: "You guys pick it, I want it if you pick it, one catty and one dime." ”

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Now it's okay, tomorrow I will sell the hazelnuts and buy meat for the children."

Everyone was excited to try, and some even thought about getting up early tomorrow morning to pick it, after all, the mountain is so big, and the hazelnuts are also limited, and whoever picks them will be whom.

After sending off the neighbors, Jiang Nian carried the sack to the roof and put all the hazelnuts he had collected.

However, drying hazelnuts is most afraid of rain, once they are wet by the rain, they will become moldy and the hazelnuts will deteriorate.

"I'll have to buy tarpaulin tomorrow and come back." Jiang Nian thought in his heart.

At this time, her mother Wang Hong was a little depressed, and when she thought of spending more than 30 yuan, she felt a pain in her heart, and she was even more worried that these hazelnuts could not be sold, and her mouth began to be broken.

"You kid, you don't make a lot of money by setting up a stall, just set up a stall honestly, what if you can't sell so many hazelnuts?"

"Shut up!"

Perhaps annoyed by Wang Hong's broken thoughts, his father Jiang Dashan smoked a cigarette pouch and said, "The child must have his own plans, otherwise he can collect so much?" ”

"Besides, he spent all his own money, and he didn't spend your money, why are you distressed? Since the child has the talent to do business, we have to support him and let him do it freely. ”

"In addition, what will the children do outside in the future, how much money they earn, don't be blind everywhere like an old hen, people are jealous of the rich, you tell them what people don't think in their hearts."

"Besides, what if someone has bad intentions and steals money while no one at home comes to steal money?"

"Oops...!"

Wang Hong didn't listen to Jiang Dashan's words in front of her, but as soon as she heard that someone might come to steal money, she was so frightened that she ran to Jiang Nian in a hurry.

"Your dad is right, your money must be collected, but don't let people target you. It's definitely not safe to keep money at home, so if your mother sews a pocket on your underwear for a while, your money will be put in your underwear pocket, and you can't lose it. ”

Jiang Nian smiled dumbly.

"Mom, how much money can be put in the pocket of the underwear, and when our family has money in the future, can we still put it in the pocket of the underwear? Besides, the banknotes are okay, and the coins are also in the pocket of the underwear? That's a burp ......."

These words made Wang Hong difficult.

In the past, the family only had a deposit of nearly 100 yuan, so she sewed a pocket on her underwear, and kept it like this, and no one could steal it.

But she never thought that there would be hundreds of dollars, thousands of things.

Looking at it this way, having money does not necessarily mean that you are happy, if you don't eat well and sleep well, you are afraid of being stolen at home, and you are afraid of losing it when you take it on your body.

"Mom, we don't have that much money, so we don't need to worry about it." Jiang Nian saw the entanglement in his mother's heart, and immediately comforted, "If we really have so much money, don't worry, there is a bank in the city, keep the money in the bank, what are you afraid of?"

"Yes, yes, there are banks, how did I forget about this." Wang Hong suddenly smiled from ear to ear.

In the countryside of this era, it is not easy for every household to make money, a little money is in the palm of the hand, there is no concept of money deposited in the bank, even if you have heard of the bank, you have never deposited it.

After all, it's good to earn enough money to live on, so how can you have spare money in the bank?

"Okay, I haven't made that much money yet, what do you want to do so much?" Jiang Dashan smoked his cigarette pouch, glanced at Jiang Nian, and asked: "I don't know what you're going to do when you collect so many hazelnuts, but I obviously have an idea, and I won't ask much, but you also know the situation at home, I can't help you, I have to rely on yourself!" ”

Jiang Nian nodded and explained.

Looking at his son, Jiang Dashan wanted to speak and stopped.

He always felt that his son had changed, matured, thoughtful, and even a little incomprehensible.

This is a good thing, and he is happy that his son has become capable, responsible, and able to support a family on his shoulders.

He finally believes that a man's maturity is instantaneous.

A father's greatest happiness is that his son is better than himself.

……

At night, Jiang Nian prepared all the materials for the next day's stall to prevent rain, and collected all the hazelnuts.

Sitting on the kang, he counted the money in his hand.

On the first day, I sold 57 yuan and 5 cents, and I spent more than 10 yuan to buy things, and I paid back a few accounts, and there was basically nothing left.

The money from today's sale, it cost another 15 yuan and 6 cents to buy things, and it cost 30 yuan and 3 cents to buy hazelnuts, leaving 114 yuan and 5 cents.

After counting it, Jiang Nian found a small notebook and wrote down every incoming and outgoing account in the past few days.

To do business, it is necessary to be careful and save resources, which is the way of business.

After the money from the business and the accounts were matched, Jiang Nian took out 50 yuan and came to the East House and handed the money to his father.

"Dad, this is fifty yuan, I have repaid the money of the second aunt's family, Uncle Dong's family, and Uncle Cao's family, and I will pay off the accounts of the other families tomorrow, if it is not enough, I will give it to you again when I come back tomorrow."

Looking at the money handed over by Jiang Nian, Jiang Dashan hesitated for a while: "If you want to collect hazelnuts, it is the time to use the money, and you have to propose tomorrow, or you will accept it first, and you can wait for the matter of repaying the money!" ”

"Don't worry, Dad, I didn't sell much today, I still have more than fifty yuan in my pocket, and I can do everything tomorrow..."
