The condition of Mao Feng's house does not look good, the house is similar to Hu Mingchen's house, the wooden old-fashioned thatched house, and the pillars of the wing house have been a little off, from the outside, his house has at least more than 20 years of history.

Mao Feng brought two stools and placed them under the eaves at the door of his house, and Hu Mingchen sat with him and chatted while enjoying the shade.

"Mao Feng, you kid said that I was the best in the class, why are you idle and bragging about this kind of bullshit?"

"Hehe, of course you are the best in the class, you see, Huang Xiaoyang can't answer many questions, but you can. Besides, if I don't say that you have the best academic performance, I'm late with you, and I'm going to be scolded when I come back. Mao Feng scratched his head and said with a smile.

Whether in the countryside or in the city, parents usually have no objection to their children becoming friends and playing with children with good academic performance. On the contrary, if you are playing with your children the kind of mischievous poor students, parents often have a lot of opinions.

"Even so, don't brag about it, you haven't been verified by the exam. By the way, I don't think your mother is in good health, she seems to be a little weak, and her face is pale. "If Hu Mingchen was really only nine years old, then he wouldn't have observed this at all.

After all, Hu Mingchen is not a real child, as soon as Mao Feng's mother came out just now, and the clothes she was wearing were relatively thick, Hu Mingchen was keenly aware of it.

"I don't know what the specific situation is, my mother is always sick, her health is very bad, she often takes medicine, she can't do heavy work, and I heard my grandmother say that it was the root of the disease left when she gave birth to me. Mao Feng's face darkened and said.

No wonder the situation of Mao Feng's family will be bad, in the countryside, the lack of a labor force will have a great impact, not to mention that this labor force often needs to spend money to buy medicine. Relying on Mao Feng's father to support the family alone, the difficulties can be seen.

In the chat, Hu Mingchen also knew that Mao Feng's grandfather had passed away, but his grandmother was still alive in her sixties and lived with their family. In order to supplement the family, his grandmother would fry a little melon seeds and sell them at the school gate.

Mao Feng is a boy, so he can go to Duge Primary School on the street to study, but his sister Mao Yan can only study in the nearby Malone Primary School. This patriarchal phenomenon is very common in Duge Township.

A typical reflection is that the proportion of boys in Dugg Primary School and Dug Middle School is much higher than that of girls.

"Mao Feng, are you saying that when you were studying, your grandmother would sell melon seeds at the gate of the elementary school?" As soon as he heard the news, Hu Mingchen was pleasantly surprised.

"yes, what's wrong?" Mao Feng couldn't figure out what Hu Mingchen was happy about.

"In this way, can you tell your grandmother that when she sells melon seeds, she also helps me sell cards. I climbed that big slope to Malone Village just to sell cards. ”

"You're here to sell cards, and if you don't study today, what cards are you selling?"

"I said you're stupid, I'm not selling directly to the students of Malone Elementary School, I'm here to find the store at the entrance of Malone Elementary School, hoping that they will help me sell it, I'll sell it to them, and they will sell it to the students, don't you understand?" Hu Mingchen almost wanted to knock Mao Feng on a chestnut, but thinking that this was his house, forget it.

"I understand, I understand, there are two sellers at the entrance of Malone Primary School, why don't you look for them?"

"You...... Can I not look for them? The two families are too harsh to deal with, and they can't cooperate, no, I just thought of your grandmother. ”

"I'm afraid my grandmother won't have the money to buy it. ”

"Her old man doesn't need money to buy goods, I give it to her for free, she sells it for five cents a piece, and I only charge her three cents, and the extra two cents are even her old man's earnings. When you're done, give me the money. As for you, even if you help her get the goods, that is, after she sells out, you will help her carry it from me after school. Do you understand when I say this?" In order to keep Mao Feng from being confused, Hu Mingchen explained as detailed and simple as possible.

"Got it, got it. But Hu Mingchen, your card is sold for five cents a piece, and you only give it to my grandmother for three cents, aren't you at a loss?" Mao Feng asked with a tilted head and incomprehension, thinking of this also reflected his kindness.

"Hehe, there is no loss, but I didn't make much money from her old man. You and I are friends, and it is also appropriate to let her old man earn more, and tell her later to see if her old man is willing. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

Hu Mingchen sold it to Chen Dafa for three or five points, but let Mao Feng's grandmother sell it for three points, and Hu Mingchen did make a profit. If you count the freight, Hu Mingchen can be said to basically not make any money, and even if he does, it is only one or two cents.

Seeing the situation of Mao Feng's family, coupled with Mao Feng's relationship with himself, Hu Mingchen really wanted to help his family. It's just that Hu Mingchen's strength is still weak, and this is the only way he can do.

"She must be willing, she must be willing, I promise this, you can rest assured, this matter is covered with me, absolutely no problem. "Mao Feng, this kid hasn't asked his grandmother yet, so he promised to take it all over.

It's no wonder that Mao Feng is so sure, he really saw how popular Hu Mingchen's card was at the entrance of Duge Primary School. One more day, Hu Mingchen can sell 2,000 tickets, and Malone Primary School is naturally inferior to Duge Primary School, but even if he only sells one or two hundred pieces a day, he can earn a few yuan, which is much more cost-effective than his grandmother selling melon seeds, can Mao Feng not be happy and not pack tickets?

After a while, Mao Feng's mother came back from outside, holding three eggs in her hands.

It can be seen that the three eggs must not have been laid by Mao Feng's hens, otherwise it would not have taken so long, and if it was not good, it would have been borrowed from someone in the village.

"Xiaofeng, you wait a little longer, I'll cook, and it will be fine soon." When passing by Hu Mingchen and Mao Feng, Mao Feng's mother smiled at Hu Mingchen, and then said to Mao Feng.

"Oh, Mom, Hu Mingchen and I are chatting here, and he also uses the business for my grandmother. ”

"Take the business for your grandmother?" Mao Feng's mother asked as she looked at the two children suspiciously.

Before Hu Mingchen could explain, Mao Feng preemptively brought out Hu Mingchen's idea.

"Oh, that's good, that's good, thank you, you're so good to our family, thank you. Listening to Mao Feng's words, his mother smiled happily.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome, I didn't do anything, anyway, whoever sells it is selling. Hu Mingchen hurriedly said humbly embarrassedly.

For lunch, Hu Mingchen ate at Mao Feng's house, a plate of scrambled eggs, a bowl of sauerkraut, and a bowl of boiled cabbage.

Hu Mingchen guessed that if he hadn't been there, Mao Feng's family might have only had a bowl of sauerkraut and a bowl of vegetarian cabbage for lunch.

The hardships of the rural people and the hospitality and simplicity of the rural people can be clearly seen from these three dishes. As long as there are guests coming to the door, the host will always try to bring out the best to entertain, if there are no guests, it is very casual. Scrambled eggs are currently the most popular dish of Mao Feng's family.

Hu Mingchen only sandwiched two chopsticks on the plate of scrambled eggs, but he kept throwing them to Mao Feng's grandmother.

"Xiaohu, you eat by yourself, eat more by yourself. Mao Feng's mother kept telling Hu Mingchen.

"Grandma, I eat, I eat, your sauerkraut is delicious, I like to eat sauerkraut. ”

Of course not, it's just that three eggs are not much, and the sensible Hu Mingchen can't eat it.

"Mom, I like eggs. Mao Feng stretched out his chopsticks as he spoke.

"You like to eat, what don't you like to eat, you just don't have anyone who is sensible. Mao Feng's mother glared at him.

How could Mao Feng's mother not see Hu Mingchen's intentions, she may not have believed that Hu Mingchen would be so good as she said to her son, but now she really believes it, a kind-hearted child who is not good for reason, in comparison, she will feel that Mao Feng is far behind.

"Hello, Mao Feng is also doing very well now, he is more serious in class than before, and he usually helps me less, a few days ago, he came back late from school, just because he was delayed because of helping me. Hu Mingchen looked at Mao Feng's cuteness and pitiful appearance and helped him say.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaofeng is with you, we adults are relieved. ”

After eating, Hu Mingchen took out fifty cards from his schoolbag and gave them to Mao Feng's grandmother.

"I'll only bring so much today, and when I go to school tomorrow, I'll ask Mao Feng to carry two hundred more, and I'll tell Mao Feng when it's almost sold out in the future." ”

"Will there really be a little doll willing to buy this little card?" Mao Feng's grandmother took the cards and looked at them.

"Grandma, what do you mean by really knowing, that's what many people will buy, as long as you have a little money in your hand, you will buy it, Hu Mingchen is in our school, you can sell one or two thousand pieces a day, and make dozens of dollars." Grandma, in the future, I will be responsible for taking the goods, and you will be responsible for selling, which is something that the two of us do together. Mao Feng proudly helped Hu Mingchen and said.

"Wow, you can earn dozens of dollars a day, so much, you really have the ability. ”

"So, grandma, you have to sell well, Hu Mingchen earns dozens of yuan a day, and you can earn a few yuan a day, when the time comes, you can just give me two dimes as errand fees." Mao Feng's enthusiasm is so high, it turns out that he also has his own interests in it.

Mao Feng's grandmother's mouth was deflated with laughter: "Hehe, if I really make a few dollars a day, Xiaofeng, grandma will definitely give you two dimes a day, and my melon seeds will be eaten for you." ”

How much can Mao Feng's grandmother sell, can she make a few dollars a day, Hu Mingchen doesn't dare to pack tickets, the only thing he can do at present is to lower the price to them and give them more profit margins.

After talking to Mao Feng's grandmother, Hu Mingchen left, he had been delayed for a long time, and he had to hurry up to Yakou Village to talk about cooperation over there.
