Chapter 99 Want Tofu

The two set the time for the holiday and the start of school, and discussed what should be tested in the final exam.

Suning prepares the mathematics, and Tongmu prepares the content of the Three Character Classic and embroidery.

After the embroidery was completed, Suning took it to the town and sold it.

It happened that there was still a piece of embroidery used for practice for a while to take to the town to sell.

After the agreement was made, Suning left.

Back home, Erlang just came back.

"How's your income today?" Suning asked looking at the basket full of ground beans.

Erlang patted his head honestly, and said happily: "Today, I sold a lot of beans, but there are not many beans at home, and the new beans haven't come down yet."

Speaking of this, I am a little worried. Last season, their family was poor and had nothing, and there were not many beans left. This is because the wheat has come down this season, the family has money and land, and the consumption of beans is less. But Not much left.

If it weren't for being able to exchange beans, it is estimated that it would not be able to survive long ago.

This is a problem.

"How about going to town and getting some beans?" If that's not enough, get some.

At this time, Mother Su came over.

"what to buy?"

Erlang said: "I want to buy beans, but there are not enough beans at home."

Mother Su looked at the basket, and asked suspiciously, "Is this piece gone?"

"Well, it's gone. It won't last for a few days. Sister Ning said she's going to the town to buy beans." Erlang said.

Mother Su looked at Suning, and Suning nodded. There are not enough beans, so I have to buy them.

Seeing the determination on the two people's faces, Su's mother suddenly smiled: "You two, you really don't know the price of firewood and rice. What is the price of beans in the town? If you buy them and then sell tofu, how much money can you make? Can't make much money."

"Then what should we do?" Su Ning humbly asked for advice.

Mother Su pointed to the village and said, "Just buy it in the village, or in the surrounding villages. The beans in the countryside are generally cheaper, and the new beans are coming soon. It will be enough to survive this period of time. Fortunately, our family has a lot of land. , and grow more beans."

When Erlang heard it, yes, the ones in the village are so cheap, "Then I'll go buy beans tomorrow."

Mother Su shook her head and said, "No need, you still have to sell tofu, I'll just ask your father to buy beans."

"Mom, our family needs a lot of beans. I'm afraid I'll tire him when Dad goes to buy beans." Suning said, "And Dad doesn't worry about being alone."

Mother Su smiled and shook her hand and said: "No, your father is not alone. Didn't Amu come here often these two days? Let Amu accompany your father. It just happens that there is nothing to do right now. Find him some work. .”

"Yes, there is also Amu, look at my brain." Erlang said annoyedly, "By the way, Amu has been looking for me for the past few days, faltering, and I don't know what he is going to do. I just finished collecting the beans and asked ask him."

"Amu looking for you?" Su's mother was a little puzzled, there was nothing wrong, and Amu usually didn't disturb others, so could it be that there was something not to say?
That child has a good personality, but his skin is a bit thin, and there is a younger sister at home. Fortunately, the younger sister is going to school now, and she can teach Amu when she returns home, so she can read a few words.

"Well, I've come here several times. When I came, I didn't say a word, but just followed me, and sometimes came to help me grind the beans."

Is it really a big deal?
Su's mother thought that if the child didn't speak, it would be better for them to speak, just in time for the old man to find him.

"I'll ask your father to ask."

"Row."

In the evening, Mother Su talked to Father Su.

"You take the money and go to the villages to collect some beans tomorrow. There are not enough beans at home. By the way, call Gao Mu and go together." Mother Su took out part of the money box and handed it to Father Su.

These are the money Erlang earned from selling tofu in the past few days, and Su's mother didn't want all of them, leaving some to Erlang and some to Kilometer.

Today, when he said he wanted to buy beans, Erlang took some from him, saying that he wanted to buy beans after all, so he figured it out.

With so much money collected, I happened to buy beans for Papa Su.

Father Su put away the money: "Okay, I'll go and talk to Gao Mu later, it's too late, Gao Mu might have to go out to work."

Mother Su had no objection, but just remembered what Erlang said today, so she said to Father Su, "Ask Gao Mu tomorrow if you have any difficulties, or ask Erlang if you have anything to do. Erlang said that he often comes to help these days. You can't say anything even if you hesitate. You know Takagi's temper. He is very aggressive towards outsiders, but he is a fool when he treats his own people. You can't beat a fart with three sticks. You talk to him Talk, ask."

Father Su agreed, that child is also poor, and it is not easy for a half-old child to support the family.

After speaking, Father Su went to Su Gaomu's house in the dark.

"Who is it?" Su Gaomu heard the knock on the door, and opened the door while shouting, "Second Grandpa, why are you here so late, come in quickly."

Father Su followed Su Gaomu into the courtyard. At this time, Su Gaomu's younger sister was already fast asleep. He was going to sleep too, but he heard a knock on the door.

"Second Grandpa, what's the matter with you coming so late?" Su Gaomu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Father Su.

Father Su took it over, but didn't drink, "I came to you to ask you whether you will follow me to collect beans tomorrow, and help me carry the big bags and push the cart, and I will give you thirty cash a day."

Su Gaomu shook his head: "Second Grandpa, if you don't give me money, I will follow you. You give too much. Even if you are carrying a big bag in the town, it is only ten yuan a day."

Father Su said: "Gao Mu, it's not that your second grandfather gave me a lot. You also know that my body is not as strong as your young people. If I go to buy beans, I probably have to let you do it. Naturally, I have to give Gao some. "

"But this is too high?" Su Gaomu hesitated, he couldn't accept it.

Father Su said indifferently: "What is this? What you have done for my Erlang in the past few days is almost worth three or four times as much as these things. What is this? Do you look down on your second grandfather, no Would you like to?"

"No, no, no, that's not the case..."

"If not, just keep it." Father Su made a final decision, and then remembered Su's mother's entrustment, "What do you want to see Erlang these two days? I heard Erlang said that you often come to him, and you hesitate to talk."

Su Gaomu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't open it.

He really doesn't have the face to say this, it's equivalent to taking food from someone's mouth!

And he still snatched food from his benefactor!
Seeing that Su Gaomu was hesitant, Father Su tried to persuade him earnestly: "Amu, I know you are a good boy, and you may have some scruples in your heart, but how do you know that we don't care when you say it? Can it be done?"
