my daughter my hometown

Chapter 25
Su Wu smiled, noncommittal.

He has seen many wooden geese in dowry, usually about the size of ordinary ducks.The largest one will never be half a meter long, let alone the same as the wild goose eagle in front of you.

As the saying goes, when geese are hired in pairs, good things come in pairs.The weight of two solid wooden geese of more than half a meter added together is not ordinary.

In the early years, the roads in the nearby villages were steep and difficult to walk, and the employment basically relied on walking.It is sincere enough to pick a huge wooden goose to the woman's house, but be careful not to overwhelm the recruiter.

The wild goose sculpture in front of me, which is based on rice balls, is several times larger than the normal hired wild goose. How can the sculpture be so smooth?
While Su Wu was admiring it, the courtyard door creaked open, and Aunt Ma walked in with her waist supported.

"Yo, where is Xiaowu here?"

Aunt Ma regained her spirits, and her waist and legs no longer hurt.She took a few steps to Su Wu's side, and cheerfully took off the little padded jacket that was attached to his body.

"Come to grandma for a hug."

She happily raised her chin to the man with big eyes and small eyes in the yard.

"Look at how soundly she sleeps every night. This little nose and small mouth is so cute. It would be great if it were my granddaughter."

A daughter is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find.It was hard for someone to appreciate my work, but when my old lady came in, she directly diverted Su Wu's attention.

Su Jianguo rolled his eyes and squatted down, smoking a hookah gloomily.

Smelling the smell of smoke, the sleeping Su Wan stretched out her hands and twisted her delicate nose.

Aunt Ma raised her eyebrows.

"Damn old man, it's such a big yard, I want to smoke and run away. I didn't see my granddaughter smoked."

Well, I can't afford to be provoked and can't afford to hide.

Su Jianguo didn't dare to say anything, and continued to smoke in another place far away.

Su Wu looked at it and wanted to laugh. His heart moved, and after saying wait, he turned and went home.

Not long after, he stepped into Su Jianguo's yard with a few things and a bag.

"Aunt Ma, I was bothering you just now, you share these with everyone."

Su Wu took out 5 yuan from his bag and put it on Aunt Ma's lap.

Aunt Ma's face was covered, but she was hugging the sleeping Su Wan and didn't dare to move.

"So much money, Xiao Wu, what do you mean?"

Su Wu chuckled.

"I came back in a hurry yesterday. I'm young and I don't understand anything. Fortunately, Aunt Ma, you helped me, otherwise I don't know what the chaos is now."

He explained, "The money is food money. Such a sumptuous meal must cost a lot. It's okay if I don't have any money. I still have some money on me when I come back this time, so I can't let everyone spend it in vain."

"If there are more, then Aunt Ma, share them with the uncles who helped in the morning. I will be the fifth child and I thank you for your hard work."

Aunt Ma nodded, and hesitantly turned over the money on her lap.

"That's too much. How much should there be in such a thick stack?"

Su Wu laughed.

"It's not a lot of money, it's only fifty thousand. I don't know if it's enough. If it's not enough, I'll add some more. I can't let my aunt and you suffer."

"Fifty thousand?" Aunt Ma was taken aback, she quickly picked up the money and handed it back to Su Wu.

"That's too much. Most of the dishes are home-cooked dishes, which are prepared by every family, and they are not worth much. The meat is worth more than five thousand. Take it back quickly."

Su Wu was stunned.

He also ate and drank with him at the banquet, so he naturally knew what dishes were served.

Not to mention anything else, just those rare mountain products, such as mushrooms, fried olives, smoked crispy bamboo shoots, fresh wild fish...

Which is not a rare commodity in a big city?

These things can be gathered casually, and it is not a problem for a table of dishes to cost tens of thousands.On the contrary, Aunt Ma specifically said that the pork was worthless.

When Su Wu said this, Aunt Ma and his wife were in a daze.

"Those mountain goods are so valuable? In the past, when those mountain goods merchants came to the village to buy them, the fish was a bit more expensive, and the others were all one yuan or a few cents a catty."

A piece or even a few cents a catty?
He is really black...

Su Wu's heart ached when he heard this, his head went blank with anger, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, he opened the wallet, searched for some similar products, and handed the phone to Su Jianguo.

"Uncle Ma, look at the price of the after-rain mushroom. This is just the most common after-rain mushroom."

Su Wu took a deep breath to calm down the depression in his stomach.

"The quality of these mountain products on the Internet is far inferior to our village. Look at this! This is the unit price, and this is the sales volume."

Putting down the hookah, Su Jianguo came over suspiciously.Seeing his complexion changed drastically, he almost jumped up.

"Xiao Wu, are the prices and sales volumes above true?"

Su Jianguo was so angry that his lips were trembling.

Su Wu nodded heavily.

"The sales volume may be fake, but the unit price is definitely not fake."

Su Jianguo took another hard look at the phone.He nodded and squatted back, smoking the pipe heavily.

It's just that the shredded tobacco on the chimney has long been burned, and he smoked for a long time without even a trace of smoke in his mouth.

The price on the Internet is nearly 50 times higher than the purchase price of Shangcun, a traveling merchant.Even if [-]% of the sales were fake, the remaining [-]% would be terribly large.

You never know the full extent of things until you see them.

Losing big!
Su Jianguo's heart was struggling with pain.

Aunt Ma didn't care about this. After she pushed the money away, she looked at Su Wan who was sleeping soundly in her arms with satisfaction, as if her life was complete.

"Xiao Wu, uncle doesn't understand this thing at all..."

Su Jianguo pointed to the webpage, he knocked on the chimney, and then looked up at Su Wu with complicated eyes.

As a man who has been proud for decades, he suddenly finds that he has completely fallen behind the times. It would be a lie to say that he is not uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can our village also do this? The price doesn't need to be too high, even half of it will do."

Su Wu nodded.

"I'm helping with it. But Uncle Ma, you're joking, how about half the price. The things in our village are good things, and they are definitely worth the high price."

"Stay for a while, Uncle Ma, go and tell everyone that I'm trying to find a way so that all uncles and aunts will stop selling these wild goods at such a low price."

"I'll go right away." Su Jianguo nodded.

He cursed angrily, and with a "bang", he gritted his teeth and slammed the hookah in his hand hard.

"Don't let me meet those black-hearted door-to-door merchants in the future. Otherwise, let them know why Lord Ma has three eyes."

Aunt Ma on the side was startled.

"What are you smashing, what are you scolding? Just keep your voice down. If you wake up my granddaughter, see if I can't finish with you."

The two men shrank their heads in fright, and looked at each other dumbfounded.

"No hurry." Su Wu hurriedly pulled him back, "I still have business to talk to you, uncle."

"what's up?"

Su Jianguo just squatted back.He habitually picked up the chimney, and seeing that he had smashed it, he had no choice but to put it down depressingly.

Just as Su Wu was about to speak, the courtyard door creaked open.Su Xue poked her head in.

"Brother, you are here."

The eighteenth female college has changed, and the girl who changed her old clothes is still dazzling.Su Xue jumped and ran over.

"Didn't you agree to pick peanuts for me at noon? It's time to go now."

Su Wu waved his hand.

"Wait, it's not too big, why are you in a hurry! I'm talking to Uncle Ma about business."

Su Xue snorted, and turned to tease Su Wan.

She is a girl who lives alone at home and usually has to go to school, so naturally she can't cultivate much land.The area of ​​the peanuts to be pulled is not large, and they were planted by Su Xue on a whim a few months ago, hoping that at the end of the year, his father or Su Wu would be able to taste new ones when they returned home.

"Come back." Su Wu beckoned, "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to you, Xiaoxue."

Su Xue was at a loss, but she walked back obediently, "Is it related to me? What's the matter?"

"Do you know how to use a computer? My brother is going to set up a treasure shop to help the uncles and aunts in the village sell mountain goods."

Su Wu talked about the situation just now.

"I see." Su Xue nodded, looking at the unit price on the phone, she also felt distressed.

"I can help." Su Xue was a little annoyed, "But I don't have a computer, and I haven't made a webpage before. I don't know if I can do it well."

"What a big deal." Su Wu laughed and said, "I don't have a computer brother to buy it for you. If you don't know how to make a web page, you can learn it by yourself, as long as you have the heart."

"But it must not affect the study." Su Wu issued a serious warning.

Su Xue rolled her eyes, "Understood. Long-winded!"

Su Wu ignored her and turned to look at Su Jianguo.

"Uncle Ma, I'm planning to build a new home in the past two months. You prepare some wood first, and I want to order some traditional style door and window guardrails and furniture."

"Yes." Su Wu slapped his head and quickly added, "Grandmother ordered me to reopen the medical clinic, uncle, you still need to make some medicine cabinets."

"Oh?" Su Jianguo was startled, he stood up and subconsciously looked at Su Wu's house next door.

"Congratulations. Your house should be rebuilt. It's uninhabitable in its current state. Just tell uncle what kind of doors, windows and furniture you want, and I'm sure you will be satisfied."

Su Wu smiled.

"It's not in a hurry. Uncle, let's prepare the wood first. I'm going to ask a friend to help design the house. After he finishes the design, I can give you the style of the doors and windows."

Su Jianguo nodded.

"Okay. You go to college in the city, you have seen a lot, and you have to hire someone to design a house. If you don't know much, I won't say much. Uncle is good at doors, windows, furniture, etc., don't worry."

Su Wu chuckled, then took out a wad of money from his bag and handed it to Su Jianguo.

"This is the deposit, and there is also fifty thousand. Uncle, you take it first to find the wood, and if it is not enough, just tell me."

"Okay." Su Jianguo didn't talk nonsense this time.He picked up the money and counted it, entered the house and then came out to hand Su Wu a receipt.

"Xiaoxue, have you called your uncle?"

Su Wu accepted the receipt, took out a camera from his bag, and carefully photographed the huge goose sculpture.

"It was called yesterday. I told him everything. Including the matter of the house at night."

Su Xue followed Su Wu around the sculpture curiously.She had seen this wild goose sculpture a long time ago, and she even brought rice balls several times over to act as a model for Su Jianguo.

"Brother, why are you filming it?"

Su Wu didn't answer the question, "What did uncle say?"

"My dad is reluctant to part with his salary for the past few days, and he can only quit his job and go home at the end of the month."

"At the end of the month..." Su Wu pondered for a while, "That's fine. Building a house requires all kinds of preparations, and I'm busy with all kinds of things. I guess it won't start until the end of the month. Uncle will come back in time."

Aunt Ma on one side had a dark face.

"Xiao Wu, it's not that my aunt said you. You can start work on such a big house repair? Have you found someone to live on?"

"This..." Su Wu was speechless.

Can he say that he has never considered such trivial matters as choosing a date?A person who has been in the city for a long time, if not for the various traditional festivals, he would have almost forgotten the lunar calendar.

Seeing the situation, Aunt Ma shook her head again and again.

"Xiaoxue, you urge your dad to come back quickly. There is no elder in the family. You two little children don't understand anything."

"Little poor boy." Su Xue giggled and made a face at Su Wu, "Isn't there your aunt?"

"Me? I'm going to teach you a lesson, brother Heizi." Aunt Ma looked left and right, and she glared at Su Jianguo.

"Where is Heizi? It's been a whole day since he came back, and he hasn't seen anyone. If he doesn't lie down and rest, does he still think he's injured?"

Su Jianguo was looking at the scenery happily just now, but he didn't expect the storm to blow on his head in a blink of an eye.

"Heizi was still here just now. I don't know when he slipped out."

Aunt Ma was very angry.

"Liu Liu, wandering around all day to do nothing, but I haven't seen him sneak out a wife. It's fine if you don't sneak a grandson or granddaughter back to me like Xiao Wu."

Su Wu wiped his sweat silently.

Aunt Ma is an old mother. Is she going to ask her son to harm someone else's daughter?

"Ah, woke up at night."

Aunt Ma's voice, who was still flustered just now, immediately became gentle and kind. "Did you sleep soundly every night? Don't be afraid, grandma is here, and dad is here too."

Su Wan had gotten used to the smell of Aunt Ma yesterday, so she didn't cry or smell when she woke up, she just got up and looked around.

Su Xue has a lot of experience.

"See, she's looking for rice balls again. It's just that the rice balls aren't at home right now, it's gone to Fairy Lake to catch fish."

Su Wan turned around for a while, and her eyes fell on the huge goose sculpture.

Her eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand happily, and muttered: "Fanfanfanfan..."

She spoke, she spoke!

Su Wu was excited for a while, and soon became dumbfounded again.

The first word other people's children learn is either father or mother.His daughter is good, she keeps eating...

Those who know her know that she is looking for wild goose rice balls.Those who don't understand think that Su Wu's father has been abusing his daughter and not letting her eat, forcing the child to talk about food when he opened his mouth.
