Chapter 019: The Followers Are Coming
April 15th.
At eight o'clock in the morning.
Liu Xingcai got up from the bed.
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that the sweet potato porridge was ready.
But the mother did not know where to go.
Liu Xing didn't go out to look for it, but simply washed it and ate sweet potato porridge.
Halfway through eating, the melon seeds also ran into the kitchen, with twist flowers in their little hands: "Brother, Mom went to the river to touch the snails, and asked me to tell you that after the cattle were released, they went to the river to help pick the snails." ”
"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded: "Then have you had breakfast?"
"Exactly. The melon seed raised the twist flower in his hand, and there was a happy look on his little face.
Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, but he didn't bother with it, and continued to eat sweet potato porridge.
After eating, he took the melon seeds to herd the cattle.
Today he has one more task, which is to hunt pigweed.
There is no way, the melon seed man is too small, and the housework he can undertake is naturally to be undertaken together.
Just led the black calf to the river, so that he found a crying and laughing thing, on the bank of the river, there are actually several villagers are touching the river snail, and even he saw Yang Dajun digging lotus roots, it was only nine o'clock, and he actually dug a load.
This scene shows that the news that he made money selling river snails in the city yesterday has spread, otherwise these villagers would not be so idle, and they would have to come to the river early in the morning to touch the river snails.
As for who the person who spread it out, it may be a good-faced mother, or a childlike melon seed, or it is more likely that the villagers who saw him at night.
In short, it's not a secret thing.
If someone wants to know, they just need to ask casually.
But Liu Xing didn't care at all, because he was a reborn person.
It's not easy to make money.
This time I went down to the river to touch the snail, and it was just a temporary helpless move to say something that didn't sound good.
When he has time, the money-making industry he has made up will definitely impress the villagers.
When the time comes, it will not be so easy to follow the trend.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile.
And at this very moment.
"Ouch!" came the melon seed cry in my ear.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xing looked back.
When I saw the melon seeds sitting on the grass and checking the footboard, I couldn't help frowning.
This is all due to his negligence for a while, he didn't buy shoes for melon seeds yesterday, and he was stabbed by the thorns on the riverbank.
But today, it is impossible to buy shoes again, because most of the money has been taken by his mother, and it is not good if the money he secretly left behind is used to buy shoes.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing tied the cow rope to a small tree, and reached out to pick up the melon seeds: "Does the foot board hurt, if it hurts, my brother will give you straw sandals to wear." ”
"It doesn't hurt. Melon Seed raised her little head.
"Alright then, you're playing around the black calf, and my brother is going to hunt pigweed. Liu Xing explained with a light smile.
"Uh-huh!" melon seeds nodded.
"By the way, where did Dad go early this morning?" Liu Xing put down the melon seeds in his hand.
"Riding a bicycle to sell conch, brother, don't you know?" Guazi scratched his head in surprise.
"Oh! I know, but I forgot. Liu Xing sneered, and after taking a look at the surrounding environment, he took the woven bag and walked towards the ridge opposite.
Hunting pigweed is actually a manual job, and you have to be able to distinguish which weeds the pigs can eat, otherwise everything will be in vain.
The most common type of hogweed is dandelion, which is found everywhere in the fields.
There are also wild celery tea and wild cabbage, etc., in a word, there are dozens of kinds.
As long as you are willing to look for it, it will not be a problem to fill the woven bag in an hour or two.
After all, Liu Xing has been doing pigweed and cattle herding every day since he was sensible.
It was more than eleven o'clock in a flash, and a woven bag of pigweed had already been made, and it was sent back as soon as possible.
When he came to the river again, the black calf had already eaten round and rested under a big tree, while the melon seed ran to the edge of the river to help touch the river snail.
Seeing this, Liu Xing put the two bamboo baskets he took from home on the river bank, and began to load the river snails, and when he was halfway through, Yang Dajun, who was barefoot, came over with a smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Son, I heard that you made dozens of dollars by buying river snails yesterday, is there such a thing?"
"Who did you listen to?" Liu Xing glanced at Yang Dajun.
If it is other villagers in this village, he will definitely tell the truth, after all, when his family was in difficulty before, many villagers have helped his family, which can use the conch to make money to improve the economy, and naturally it can help the foil, after all, the conch in the river is an ownerless thing, and anyone can touch it.
Of course, the atmosphere in the countryside is very simple, you help me and I help you when you are in trouble, and everyone survives in this way.
But Yang Dajun is different, he is the public of the village, that is, a single. Regardless of whether there is anything or not, I like to say bad things about people behind my back and chew the root of my tongue, which is very annoying.
Probably the year before last, because Yang Dajun had a broken mouth, his parents had quarreled with him, and he had the kind of posture that he didn't get along with each other.
Although it has been two years since this incident, people are all good-looking, and suddenly talking to Liu Xing, no one can stand it.
However, Yang Dajun acted as if it was nothing, which showed how thick-skinned this person was, and he also explained solemnly: "When you rode a bull to the city yesterday, many people saw it. ”
"Since you've seen it all, why are you asking me why?"
Liu Xing shook his head and said.
"I just want to ask, can a conch really sell for four cents a catty?" Yang Dajun rubbed his hands and looked at Liu Xing expectantly.
"Yes, good six cents can be sold!" Liu Xing said perfunctorily, lowered his head and began to pretend to be a conch again.
"You don't have a word of truth out of your mouth. Seeing that Liu Xing ignored him, Yang Dajun turned around and left, but he didn't go a few meters away before he turned back again.
As for the reason, it was because he saw Liu Dazhao who came back riding the 28th bar.
"Mommy, look, Daddy is back. The melon seeds shouted happily, and they fluttered to meet them.
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and after washing the handle, he also followed.
As for Yang Dajun, no one invited him, and he kept up.
Then I approached him and realized that something was wrong.
On the back seat of the 28 bars that Liu Dazhao was riding, there was a bag full of river snails, and in the iron cages on both sides, there were all woven bags of river snails.
This phenomenon can only say one thing.
That is, Liu Dazhao did not sell much of the river snails that he transported to the city.
"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Liu Xing, who was approaching, couldn't help but ask.
The melon seeds are also curious and tilt their little heads.
In her opinion, this conch is obviously very easy to sell, why can't Dad sell it?
"Don't mention it, I went to the place you said, no one wants this conch at all, let alone four cents a pound, a dime a pound I shouted in my throat and no one paid attention to me, I saw that it was almost noon, so I came back, after all, I still have to deal with Wang Mazi's matter!" Liu Dazhao looked depressed, and he was weak to speak.
Yang Dajun heard this, it was a little confused, even if he didn't believe it, but the facts in front of him could never be false, after coming back to his senses, he asked Liu Dazhao: "Are you going to the wrong place, after all, the city is so big, some places are easy to get confused." ”
He touched almost 200 catties of river snails today, and as for the lotus root, there are nearly 100 roots, if he can't sell them in the market tomorrow, then he will toss a fart!
How could Liu Dazhao not know what Yang Dajun meant: "I don't know where the Donghe Police Station is? If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself, if you can buy a conch for four cents a catty, it would be strange." ”
"Don't get in the way, I still have something to do when I go home!" Speaking of this, Liu Dazhao pushed Yang Dajun away and rode away angrily.
The melon seeds are very similar to catching up and saying that the meat bun has been bought, but in the end, he didn't dare to move.
For he felt anger from his father.
Liu Xing also has this crying and laughing.
After shaking his head, he took the melon seeds and walked towards the river.
Although he didn't know what his father's problem was, one thing was certain, his father was afraid that he really didn't find a place.
It seems that after eating lunch, I will have to go in person, otherwise I am afraid that the more than 100 catties of river snails I touched yesterday will become smelly.
