Chapter 15 Preliminary Examination for the College Entrance Examination
Yang Xingwu responded to the compliments of the villagers and sped up the speed of swinging the sickle.
After a long period of work, the harvested ears of wheat finally filled the two carts.
Liu Cuihua brought the freshly baked cake to her wife.
Yang Kaishan looked at the cart full of ears of wheat, and told his son to hurry up and hurry, and after everything was cleaned up, he drove the ox cart with his two sons and grandsons to the city again, followed by a large family of two cousins.
Yang Xingwu looked at the back of his grandfather leaving with his father and eldest brother, turned around and followed his mother to weed, dig ditches, etc.
The wheat is getting closer and closer to harvesting, and this time is the most important time, if there is a strong wind and waves, this more than half a year's efforts will be burned.
Therefore, at this time, although it is not a busy farming, I still have to go to the field every day, and I must always pay attention to the growth of wheat.
I was busy until the day was bright, the sun was rising, and I felt a little hot, and the family went home.
Back at home, Wang Zhaodier took her eldest daughter to cook.
Yang Xingwu went to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.
Before there were no pressurized wells, draught was still mainly used to carry water.
After lunch, the family had time to catch up on sleep.
……
Yang Kaishan drove the ox cart with a few cousins and a large family, a family of three frame carts, a total of eight frame carts, and walked towards the city together.
On the way, I waited for my son-in-law's family, and found that my son-in-law's family also had two more frame cars.
Seeing this scene, Yang Kaishan became more and more sure of his thoughts last night, and after selling these two cars, he stopped doing it.
A group of eleven rack cars formed a convoy and walked towards the city together.
Since a few cousins didn't borrow cattle and walked slowly, Yang Kaishan explained a few words, and then drove away first.
By the time everyone arrived in the city, it was already midday, and Yang Kaishan took his family directly to the gate of the city hospital to set up a stall.
After all, patients need nutrition, and there are few nutrients at this stage.
Now that Yang Kaishan is here, the people who visit the sick will buy some ears of wheat, and it will also be a good tonic to make wheat kernel porridge when the time comes.
Wheat kernel porridge is soft and glutinous and sweet, suitable for all ages, and can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is a very good option.
These things were told to him by his grandson, Yang Xingwu.
In the face of fierce competition in the market, choosing the right place can always get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as the family parked the ox cart, many people came around one after another.
It was a surprise to see a cart full of ears of wheat.
"Is this Mairen?"
"Yes! I haven't eaten it for many years, and I heard yesterday that there are ones sold in the machinery factory? It's also available at the hospital today! ”
"Then we have to buy some to taste, it just so happens that your grandfather has lost his appetite, and boiling him some wheat kernel porridge can also relieve one or two!"
Several people talked and walked to the frame car.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these ears of wheat?"
"One penny, one ear!"
"It's a lot cheaper than malt cream and eggs! Okay, give me two bucks! ”
"Okay!"
Yang Kaishan accepted the money and asked his grandson to hand the counted ears of wheat to the customer.
In order to sell the ears of wheat as soon as possible, the family counted them when they cut the ears of wheat in the morning, ten ears of bundles, fifty ears of bundles, twenty ears of bundles, and hundreds of ears of bundles, so that it was much more convenient to sell, and there was no need to count them with great effort.
The customer took two large bundles of wheat, counted them briefly, and took them to the hospital.
I have to say that the hospital is really a good place to sell things, how long has Yang Kaishan just finished selling, and the three rack cars are already full of people to buy a lot, which is faster than selling in the family home.
The least is to buy ears of wheat for a dollar.
After all, it's not good to visit the sick too shabby.
The family was busy until noon, and the hospital was gradually reduced to a lot of people.
Yang Chunsheng was just about to pull the car and follow the family to the machinery factory to see the situation, but he didn't expect to see a familiar person in front of him.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu!"
Yang Chunsheng was very excited when he saw his son's teacher, and hurriedly greeted him.
Xu Wenhua heard the voice, looked for prestige, and saw an old farmer, waving at him.
He was a little puzzled when he saw this, but he still walked forward to see what was going on.
Xu Wenhua walked up, the person in front of him was a little familiar, and he asked with some doubts:
"This fellow, who are you?"
"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Yang Xingwu, are you going to the hospital to see someone? This is the wheat ear planted by my family, the porridge is very delicious, and you can take it to see people and save face! ”
Yang Chunsheng said and took the largest bundle of wheat ears from the rack car, this bundle was a hundred ears, and hurriedly stuffed it into Xu Wenhua's hand.
Hearing this, Xu Wenhua remembered the person in front of him, and when he saw Yang Chunsheng stuffing ears of wheat into his hands, he hurriedly refused.
refused several times in a row, but did not resign, and in desperation, Xu Wenhua took the wheat ear.
"How is Yang Xingwu's body? Have you been feeling better lately? ”
"Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now, and I can go to school after recuperating at home for a while!"
"That's good, by the way, the results of the college entrance examination are out, Yang Xingwu scored 472 points, which is very close to last year's admission score line, if you play well, it will not be a problem to go to university!
Now that the college entrance examination is less than two months away, he must be allowed to take care of his body, don't faint again like a few days ago, if you have the conditions at home, you can also get something nutritious, eat more eggs or something to make up for it! ”
"Hey, hey! Mr. Xu, I know that I don't come out to sell ears of wheat, just to make some money and improve Xingwu's food! ”
"That's good, ninety-nine worship, not bad for the last trembling, Yang Xingwu was admitted to university, and it is also a matter of glory to your family, but don't drop the chain!"
"Teacher, don't worry, the child's future is a big deal, when the ears of wheat are sold, I will buy some nutritional products for him to make up for it!"
Hearing this, Xu Wenhua was very satisfied, and immediately took out a notebook and a pen from a cloth bag, and wrote and painted.
After a while, Xu Wenhua privately folded a piece of paper, handed it to Yang Chunsheng and said:
"I wrote down Yang Xingwu's pre-examination results, and I will bring them to him when I go back in the afternoon, so that he can study hard and take care of his body!"
Yang Chunsheng hurriedly took it solemnly, and watched Xu Wenhua go away, so he carefully put it into the cloth bag containing dry food.
After Xu Wenhua left, Yang Kaishan was very happy to learn that his grandson was likely to be admitted to college, and shouted that he would buy another two catties of pork in the evening to make up for his grandson.
After waiting for a while, there were fewer and fewer people in the hospital, and the family took the cart to the family courtyard of the machinery factory to sell for a long time, and only then did they sell the remaining ears of wheat, and everyone was ready to go home.
Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Yang Chunsheng handed over the car to his son, went in to buy something by himself, walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, he didn't dare to look around, and asked the salesman who was napping:
"Comrade, how do you sell malt cream?"
"Three dollars and five cents, how many cans do you want?"
