good old days

Ding Changhai came to ask Jiang Xinyu and the others about their trip to Xinjiang Province. He used to resell grain, but now that the policy has been liberalized, he wants to open an agricultural and sideline products store. He will not only sell agricultural and sideline products, but also sell whatever he can get. What.

He had already made a lot of money before, but after he was able to set up a stall, he was no longer willing to just run a small business.

"Brothers and sisters, since you sell dried fruits, the more varieties, the better. The pine nuts and hazelnuts in the Northeast are very good. You have even left Xinjiang Province. Wouldn't it be better to go to more places to enrich the varieties?"

Wang Sumei brought the cut cantaloupe and watermelon, "Let's see if this batch is good for sale first, and then we can deal with them all before talking about anything else." She couldn't even sleep if she couldn't deal with them.

Ding Changhai picked up a cantaloupe, took a bite, and his eyes lit up, "It's too sweet."

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "Dried cantaloupe is sweeter, just like honey. This time we bought hundreds of kilograms."

Ding Changhai ate the melon, words swirling in his throat but he couldn't express his plan. If Chen Yi were here, he would definitely open his mouth directly.

"Don't worry, Auntie, these are rare items, delicious and free of charge. As long as they appear on the market, they will definitely sell easily."

You need a ticket for everything you buy, but if you encounter someone who doesn’t need a ticket, no matter what it is, as long as the price is not outrageous, it will be easy to sell in the city.

What supplies are not in short supply? The one who can get the supplies is me! People in the city can save much more money throughout the year than people in the countryside, and they naturally have more money than people in the village. Dried fruits are not big items like bicycles, sewing machines, and watches. You can buy a pound of them for a buck and take them home. If you can improve your life without breaking your muscles or moving your bones, why is it so hard to sell?

Ding Changhai said with certainty, Wang Sumei's heart dropped, "The melons and vegetables in the field are ripe, you can pick some back later."

Wang Sumei entered the room, and Ding Changhai rubbed his hands and prepared to open his mouth.

He planned to follow him to the capital to visit the market, and also wanted to mention his plan to Chen Yi, but it was always a bad idea to ignore Jiang Xinyu.

"Brothers and sisters, I have the audacity to get involved. It will definitely not be easy for you to purchase goods this time. If I directly ask you to share the purchasing channels with me, it would definitely be inappropriate. But I still want to cooperate with you in the future. If you want any useful information I have here, I will send it to you from here. When the weather gets cold, I want to go around the Northeast."

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "We have been seeing each other for several years. We all know that you are loyal and we can discuss cooperation. But we have to wait until we settle down there. You should go there first to see the market and how to cooperate then. We still have to come up with a specific charter, make it formal, so that the relationship can be maintained for a long time, and our friendship for many years will not fall out for the sake of profit."

Relatives will fall out because of interests, let alone friends. If you want to be friends for a long time, it is best not to have any interests involved.

Ding Changhai nodded, "My brother and sister said it openly, and that's how it should be. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. This is the norm."

Just as he was making an appointment with Ding Changhai on which ticket to buy, Song Yahui and his parents came.

Ding Changhai went to pick vegetables in the fields, and Jiang Xinyu entertained Song Yahui and others.

Song Yahui went home yesterday and spent most of his time trying to persuade his parents to let him follow Jiang Xinyu and the others to the capital.

It was not because the person who took him out was his former teacher and a college student who was admitted to university. His parents would never agree to him going out.

My son is not doing well in studies. He couldn't pass the high school entrance examination or the technical secondary school entrance examination. He was not sensible before and would wander around every day. He finally got into a clay tile factory and worked hard to make money, but he wanted to go to the capital to work. When people work, parents will inevitably have to ask whether they can be trusted.

"Teacher Xiao Jiang, you and your husband have both been admitted to college, why are you still self-employed?"

Wang Sumei didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to be looked down upon by others, so she interrupted: "I want to do it, and my son and daughter-in-law gave me the idea. Sister, I have been in the capital this year, and I have discovered that the poorest are still us in the fields. Those who are foraging and those who have no jobs in the city have all set up stalls. Setting up stalls can support themselves. It is not decent, but it is not decent, but you can make some money. You all make money through your own labor, so don't feel ashamed."

Jiang Xinyu said: "It is definitely a good thing for young people to go out and gain experience. Since he has followed us out, we will definitely discipline him and teach him. He is growing up now. What should he do if he hurts his body in the clay tile factory?"

"If you really don't worry about him going, it's fine if I don't take him with me."

As soon as these words came out, Song Yahui hurriedly waved his hands, "No matter what, I'm going to go. I can do the work in the brick and tile factory, and I can do other things as well."

Song Yahui's parents still frowned, and Song Yahui also jumped to the side, "We made an agreement yesterday. If you dare to change your mind, I won't do anything in the future."

Jiang Xinyu was speechless: "Speak carefully."

Song Yahui pulled his parents up and took out a letter of introduction and three dollars from his pocket, "I can pay for the travel expenses myself. If there is any less, I will make up for it. Teacher Jiang, I'll wait for you to call me."

On the way, Song Yahui said to him: "You will be able to marry a wife in a few years. Why don't you go to the capital to be wild?"

Song Yahui said irritably: "How old am I when I marry a wife? Don't you want to live a good life? Maybe I can bring you a wife from the capital in the future."

"It's a good time. Who knows what will happen after you go there? Our family is not hungry, so why go out? Your teacher Jiang seems to be a reliable person. I won't let you go no matter what." Song Yahui: "Our teacher Jiang will definitely not harm me, and I am not afraid of work. The opportunity is right in front of me, and I will definitely go out and take a look."

Whether he makes money or not is secondary. He just wants to go to the capital to see the world.

The courtyard finally became quiet, but that annoying person came to Jiang Xinyu and said some unreasonable things.

"Xinyu, you sisters are all married. Your mother will be the only one in the house from now on. Life will not be easy." The aunt looked sympathetic.

Jiang Xinyu was surprised: "Isn't Xiaochuan a human being? Why is my mother alone?"

The aunt said an exaggerated "Ouch", "Why doesn't that count as a person? But what's the same thing if there's no man in the house?"

Wang Sumei was tired of hearing this, "Sixi's family, you're not here to buy a bicycle? Do you want to buy it? If not, go home and don't talk nonsense in front of my daughter-in-law."

The aunt rolled her eyes: "Why is this nonsense? That's not the case if there is no man in the family. There is a doctor in the village of my daughter's husband's family. The family is doing well and their children are all promising. Xinyu, please give it a good... "

Jiang Xinyu rubbed her ears and said very shamelessly: "How can we three sisters be as promising as we are? Have all his children been admitted to college?"

The aunt shook her head, "That's not true, but there is a job. Let me tell you, you should advise your mother to remarry while you are young, so that no one will want her when she is old."

Jiang Xinyu: "No one wants me to support you. It's up to my mother whether she wants to remarry or not. Don't use those crooked melons and cracked dates to estrange others..."

Before Jiang Xinyu could finish her words, a torn shoe was thrown in front of the aunt.

Old Man Jiang's cursing voice came from the courtyard door.

"I can hear you from a long way away here uneasily and kindly instigating my granddaughter. You love matchmaking so much, why don't you choose a younger one for your man? Not to mention your man, your father-in-law has been buried for so many years, you Why didn't you think of introducing one to your mother-in-law? How can you do it without a man in the family? "

Old Man Jiang was used to being a talker. In the past six months, he had often fought with the female comrades who introduced Chen Xiuyun to his partner. Everyone in the village knew about his virtues, and he gradually stopped visiting Chen Xiuyun's house.

Old Man Jiang felt very proud. His daughter-in-law made him eat well, drink a little wine from time to time, and smoke a little cigarette. I don't know how beautiful this life is. Those who dare not introduce a partner to his daughter-in-law are his class enemies, and they will have to be served by his shabby toe-head.

What he said just now was really shameless, and the Sixi family's fingers were trembling with anger.

Find a smaller one for her man?
  Tell her mother-in-law about Sunset Red?

She bah!

Damn old man, he is getting more and more shameless.

She shook her fingers: "Old man, you have no shame at all. You are like this. If you give me five pounds of fat, I won't even introduce you to a partner!"

Old Man Jiang had a proud look on his face, rolling his eyes and squinting at her as she went out cursing.

What kind of wife does he need at this old age? Eat well, drink well, have fun, and spend the rest of the day just counting balls. What's the point of having so much? If it dies, it cannot be taken into the ground.

Old man Jiang shook his head and said to Jiang Xinyu: "Third girl, your father and I understand now."

Jiang Xinyu: What do you understand? I can't even fix it.

He pointed his fingers continuously as if pointing at the country, "The old guys in the whole brigade, no, all the communes, I don't understand in my life. People can't just endure hardships in this life, they have to plan for themselves. Just kick your feet and get down." You can’t take anything with you and everything you eat or drink goes into your stomach. This is the truth! It’s better than anything else!”

Jiang Xinyu and her mother-in-law looked at each other.

So terrifying.

Jiang Xinyu: What Old Man Jiang said is damn right! She couldn't refute.

Wang Sumei: This smelly old man is just a selfish guy. He doesn’t care about anything but his own mouth. He will only care about one mouth all his life. If his children can’t count on him, what’s the use of living? It’s so reasonable to say that it’s delicious and lazy to cook, bah! How shameless!
  Chen Xiuyun, who has not yet come in from outside the hospital: If Jiang Laosan and his family were here, let’s see if you can still say these words!
