Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 10 You Can Continue

Ever since Father Li started setting up a stall in the town, the family affairs have been handed over to the old couple of the Li family.

As far as the work at home is concerned, cooking is the main thing left!
The three brothers and sisters are all in school, and even the youngest, Li Er, is in the first grade.At noon three have to go home for dinner, no one can't cook, this arduous task is handed over to Grandma Li.

In addition, the small tasks of feeding chickens and pigs are easy to feed chickens and ducks, mainly two pigs.

Li Zhuang and his wife were fed in the morning before they left, and Grandma Li was fed in the afternoon.

The pig food couples are mixed in advance and placed in the pig trough. At some point, Grandma Li will release the pigs from the pig pen, and just push the pig back into the pen after eating.It doesn't cost anything.

The couple came back in the afternoon, so apart from the fact that Dad Li and his wife were busier and tired than before, nothing else had changed much.

The lunch at home is also simple, either noodles or rice.There are not many tricks, and it is not difficult for Grandma Li.

Just fry the rice as a side dish, and the noodles are simpler, just stir-fry a marinade, and pour the boiled noodles on top.

As for Li Zhuang and his wife, they concentrated on being small vendors in the town.

Get your supplies ready, rent a booth at the farmers market in town, and the business starts.

The couple came back early in the afternoon, and then went around looking for clam shells and screws.

After arriving home, they start peeling, cleaning, slicing, and preparing seasonings, and wait to sell them in the town the next day.

Now that the weather is cold, there is no need to worry about the mussel meat going bad and smelly.Otherwise, it's really hard to say that there is no refrigerator these days.

Now the shipment volume is not large, and it is enough to touch some at home.

Hearing that the Li family set up a stall in the town, the villagers envied it for a while.

It's not that no one has used the same brains, but it's hard to see Li Zhuang and his wife. They get up early and stay late, touch clam shells and screws every day, clean them at home, and rush to the town the next day.

The key is that the effort required is not something ordinary people can do!If you can't sell it after doing this, don't waste your money!

It's not easy to make money, and it's easy to eat enough for a few days. If you lose money, it's not a loss to grandma's family!

Farmers are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of spending a lot of effort, but in the end they don't make any money. Isn't it a waste of time?

It's not that no one has pantothenic acid to say strange things, but Li Zhuang and his wife are not the kind of soft-tempered and easy-to-handle.

Coupled with the fact that the couple complained intentionally or unintentionally, and confided that they earned hard money after a day, they were too tired to die, but they had to grit their teeth and complain all kinds of things for the sake of the child, and gradually no one paid attention.

In the end, there is only envy in the mouth, and no one knows how to arrange Li Zhuang and his wife in private.

There are also some jokes, saying that the two of them don't farm the land well, and they don't do their jobs properly. If the crops are not planted and the money is not earned, it will be nice if they fail at both ends!
However, these weird and acid words were all said in private, and naturally they would not be in front of Li Zhuang and his wife.

Apart from the fact that Li Zhuang and his wife are earning hard money, the villagers also have inherent conservative ideas, which they can't get rid of, and feel that it is a bit shameful to run a small business, so most of them are just envious but none of them take action.

People's concept at the moment, in addition to the workers and the Guo Jia cadres who eat the imperial food, are masters, small traders like buying and selling are still not doing their jobs in people's eyes, and they are somewhat looked down upon.

Li Zhuang and his wife didn't know about these miscellaneous right and wrong, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

They are so happy that no one competes with them, so it’s not good to make a fortune in silence.

Now, although Li Zhuang and his wife are working very hard, no one believes how much the couple can earn, isn't it hard money?

When Li Shaoyun and the others finished the final exam and had a holiday before the results were announced, Father Li and his wife had been working for half a month or almost a month.

Father Li took some time off this evening, and wanted to summarize the achievements he had made for so long.

Leaving aside the cost of labor, the labor cost is naturally not mentioned. They are all self-employed and have not hired anyone. After calculating it, they have earned a small 200 yuan in the past half a month!
The whole family was there when the accounts were settled, including the Li family's grandparents and the old couple.

Li Da and Li Er were also watching. Li Da did not shy away from letting the two sons watch, mainly to consciously cultivate their money awareness.

He knew that although the two boys had scoured a lot—mainly the eldest son, the younger son was still very well-behaved and knew what to say and what not to say outside, which had been verified countless times.

Not to mention my daughter.

Li Da saw his parents working hard, but like his younger brother, he didn't have any concept of money. He felt good about earning money at home. If he wanted to buy something, his parents would be happier.He really couldn't think of anything else, and he didn't know what it meant to their family.

No matter how sensible he is, he is only a kid in his teens.

Li Shaoyun was a little disappointed with the speed of earning money.

She looked at the pile of dimes on the table, the biggest ones were five yuan and ten yuan denominations, "Dad, is this considered to be making money? Why are you so small?"

She hasn't changed from the concept of later generations for a while, she just thinks that she has been busy for such a long time to earn such a little money, and it seems that the gain outweighs the gain.

Li Zhuang laughed and shook his head, "Daughter, you have a big appetite! How much does our family spend in a year? You think it's too little?!"

Li Shaoyun was embarrassed, she just thought of the outrageous rise in prices in later generations, even for part-time workers, the daily wages probably would not exceed this, but for a moment she forgot the prices of this era.

The Li family's grandpa and grandma were quite surprised, they didn't expect that selling stir-fries was quite profitable.

In an instant, I felt that the busyness of these days was worth it, "It seems that this is really worth working for a long time!"

Grandpa Li looked at his son, "Because there are not many people doing this in the town now, you are the only family, so you have to do it well! After this year, can't you take advantage of a few thousand?!"

Grandma Li also nodded approvingly.

These days, there are no households with [-] yuan running all over the place. As far as this village is concerned, there are several nearby villages.

Everyone is poor...so average.

No one dislikes anyone, and no one envies anyone.

Looking at the expressions of his grandparents and parents, Li Shaoyun knew that this was indeed money!

She also breathed a sigh of relief, at least these days are not in vain.

After being reminded by Dad Li, she calculated the price level of these years and knew that she was indeed a little bit drifting!
Even grandma's monthly pension of 15 yuan is not a small amount, so her family has earned nearly [-] yuan in less than a month. This is simply an extraordinary speed of collecting money!
After the school holiday, there were several small laborers in the family, and it was easier for Li Zhuang and his wife, so the old couple of Li's family continued to be idlers.

After a few days, the school told me to go to school to get the final report card, and then it was officially a holiday!

All three siblings are doing well.

Whether it is Li Da, Li Shaoyun or Li Er, who just entered the first grade, their grades are among the best in the class.

Especially for Li Shaoyun, if she can't even pass the elementary school exam, then she can go for tofu!
Even if he is a scumbag, it is impossible not to pass elementary school.

Especially at this time, whether it is elementary or middle school homework, compared with later generations, it is so easy!

Li Zhuang and his wife are also satisfied with the grades of the three children in the family. It is not in vain for the two of them to work hard to earn money, so that they can make a living!
