Chapter 523 A Woman Without Common Sense of Life

Mr. Deng's words surprised several salesmen, and they couldn't help but look at them seriously. At this time, the four people realized that Mr. Deng and Ye Yingxuan had extraordinary temperaments.This pair of young men and women are definitely not young people with nothing to do in the countryside, they seem to have come down from the county!

The four looked at each other speechlessly, and one of them might appear in their hearts. They had already heard that the higher-ups had changed.The new chief and deputy managers seem to be a young man and woman. The young man in front of him speaks in an official manner. Could it be the legendary deputy manager Deng?

The salesperson with the measuring ruler turned pale. Deng Hua took the ruler on the counter. It was not the one-meter standard ruler, but a short one-foot ruler!Deng Hua re-measured the flannelette that he had just measured, very seriously, neither dragging nor relaxing, neither shrinking nor increasing the size!

"Sister-in-law, how many feet do you want to buy?"

Deng Hua asked the peasant woman kindly, the woman was a little shy, she didn't know what the strange boy in front of her was doing.For women in the mountains, they still can't let go when they see outsiders, because they don't know who the other party is.

Instead, the daughter replied loudly: "Mom wants to make a new set of clothes for my younger brother. He is going to the county to take the high school entrance examination! A total of [-] feet of fabric is needed. My mother said that I can't use [-] feet, but I must allow my brother to be generous." A little, then my brother's exam will be very easy!"

There were tears in the girl's eyes, she didn't know if it was for the fabric she was picking and searching for in front of her eyes, or for her younger brother who could take the exam!According to the age of girls, they should also be at the age of studying, but in the countryside of Gucheng County, very few girls go to high school!

Ye Yingxuan coughed lightly: "How many feet are missing? Make up for it!"

Make up for it?Deng Hua froze, did Manager Ye make a mistake?Or does she lack the most basic common sense?Although Mr. Deng doesn't know how to cut, he also knows that the fabric cannot be connected. This is the most basic common sense.

What's more, I have already felt from the girl's words that people in the mountains are very sensitive. If this spliced ​​fabric is taken back, let alone whether it can be made into clothes, at least it will make my mother very tangled!

Sure enough, the peasant woman's expression froze, and she whispered weakly: "Forget it, there is not much missing, that's all!"

The salesperson reacted quickly, and immediately took out the scissors, and was about to pull the scissors off the fabric. Deng Hua said coldly, "Are you sure you want to cut?"

"I, I, I..." The salesperson held the scissors in his hand, and looked at Deng Hua, then at the peasant woman, and then at Ye Yingxuan.She could tell that Manager Ye was the head of the family, and Deputy Manager Deng was the deputy after all.

"Cough cough!" Ye Yingxuan coughed twice in the back, and said impatiently, "Deputy Manager Deng, it's normal to make up for the shortfall. Next stop, don't waste time here."

A woman who has no common sense of life actually acts as the manager of the supply and marketing association. Mr. Deng is speechless: "Manager Ye, it doesn't mean that you must make up for the shortage. Fabric is different from food, and it is difficult to make clothes from the shortage of fabric. My sister-in-law buys sixteen." She only gave fourteen feet of fabric, which was a full two feet short of fabric, how could it be possible to make a suit of clothes? Could it be that my sister-in-law’s son should wear brand new, mended clothes to take the senior high school entrance examination?”

"Ah?" Ye Yingxuan blushed immediately, the woman finally understood where she was wrong, she glared at Mr. Deng who had made her embarrassing, turned around and walked outside, "I'll go to the car to rest!"

Deng Hua shook his head, and the salesman with the measuring scale said: "I sold this piece of fabric to you, and I will place an order according to sixteen feet! I will re-rip the fabric for my sister-in-law. If it is one inch shorter and one inch longer, you will have to pay ten times the compensation. Do you have any opinions?"

"No, no!" As early as when Ye Yingxuan and Deng Hua called each other, the salesmen knew that today was a bad day.The fabric seller cursed Mr. Deng countless times in his heart, but he couldn't afford to offend him and could only obey, "I, I, I will re-order!"

While talking, the salesperson hurriedly spread out the fabric, using the counter as the ruler, adding one foot to five sections of the counter.In fact, normal supply and marketing cooperatives use the counter as the yardstick for selling fabrics. Today, seeing the two mothers and daughters being bullied, they wanted to take advantage of it.

Never expected to touch Mr. Deng, the salesperson could only admit that it was bad luck, carefully measure the ruler, and be absolutely accurate.As a veteran salesperson, it is actually not difficult, and then fold carefully, draw a pink line and cut the fabric with scissors.

The mother and daughter were pleasantly surprised to see that there was a full two feet of extra fabric. They had never sold fabrics in the supply and marketing agency before, and today they met a good person!Mother kept bowing to Deng Hua: "Thank you, thank you comrade!"

Deng Hua took out a wallet from his pocket, and took out a wad of money, which looked like 800 yuan: "Sister-in-law, this is a congratulations to your little brother in advance. I believe that with a mother like you, my little brother will definitely pass the exam. Go to Gucheng No. [-] Middle School, and you will definitely be admitted to a good university in the future!"

"How can this be possible?"

The woman shook her hands continuously. For her, such a huge sum of money can only be seen when selling grain.I don’t know how long it took to save enough money to sell fabrics for my son to make clothes this time.

The old hen at home is almost the only source of pocket money, and salt is exchanged for eggs from the market.As for soy sauce, rice vinegar, monosodium glutamate, and seasonings, they are hardly used at home and cannot be afforded.

The daughter was staring at the wad of money, her eyes were a little wet. Based on the desire in the girl's eyes, Mr. Deng already understood a lot.It was the same as those poor families he had seen in the past, presumably the girl dropped out of school just for the sake of her younger brother!

Just based on the clothes of the mother and daughter, it is hard to imagine that such a family can afford two middle school students and still go to high school in the county.The high cost is definitely not something an ordinary mountain family can afford.

After thinking through this verse, Deng Hua sighed softly: "Sister-in-law, please accept it. If the family can insist, let the younger sister go to study too."

Deng Hua's words made her daughter cry out, as if all the grievances in her life were released at this moment.The girl's tears are like soaking Mr. Deng's heart with old vinegar, sour and astringent!

The girl's mother, that simple woman kept wiping away her tears, and murmured after a while: "Good man, you are a good man! My sister studies better than her younger brother. Our family is too difficult. We really can't afford it." Thinking of the two sisters. There is no way, the younger sister came back from No. [-] Middle School to save money for her younger brother to continue studying..."

No wonder the girl reacted like that, Ye Yingxuan suddenly walked in from the outside: "Little sister, you dropped out of No. [-] middle school?"

Although he has only been in Gucheng County for a few days, Manager Ye has heard of the name of Gucheng No. [-] Middle School.The students of Gucheng No. [-] Middle School have a high enrollment rate, and they have no rivals in Qingyuan City.Although the people in the ancient city are poor, children who are admitted to No. [-] Middle School seldom drop out of school. Many families would rather eat bran and swallow vegetables for their children to study!
