Reborn 1980s Good Life

Chapter 17

Even green vegetables can be sold for [-] cents a catty.

Sun Qiufang touched the money in her pocket, but she was not willing to buy it. "This city is really a place to burn money. If you used to be in the country, you can get it from your own vegetable garden if you want to eat."

"Mom, this is how we live. It's quick to use, isn't it quick to earn?" Su Min smiled while choosing vegetables.

Sun Qiufang looked at it, still reluctant, looked down, and saw some vegetable stalls throwing vegetable leaves outside, in piles, some were still green.

"It's a waste." Sun Qiufang went over with a basket, and when she saw green leaves on the ground, she reached out and grabbed them into the basket.

Su Min was picking vegetables, and turned around to look for Sun Qiufang, when she saw Sun Qiufang squatting on the ground picking up vegetable leaves.Someone next to him looked and pointed.

As if she hadn't seen it, Sun Qiufang lowered her head to pick up the leaves in the vegetable basket.

Su Min watched, his eyes suddenly became hot, and some liquid flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

In her previous life, when she and her seriously ill mother first came to the city, when she went out to work by herself, her mother, Sun Qiufang, dragged her sick body to the vegetable market to pick leaves like this.Then go back silently.

At that time, she was still thinking, she didn't give the money, where did her mother get the food.Later, I accidentally saw it once, and then I realized that my mother, Sun Qiufang, had endured so much grievance in order to save a little food money.

"Mom, I'll help you." Su Min wiped away tears, ran over with a smile.

Sun Qiufang felt embarrassed, and when she saw her daughter coming, she hurriedly said, "What are you doing here, a child, hurry up and wait beside me."

It's okay for her to embarrass herself, how can she let her daughter be pointed at by others.

Su Min smiled and said, "Mom, what are you afraid of? We didn't take it secretly. We are poor, so what, we don't break the law by picking up vegetable leaves, right?"

Sun Qiufang didn't expect her daughter to be so big-hearted. Thinking about how her daughter sees it like this, she is really not as good as a child.Immediately, he began to pick up the leaves with a calm face.

The family couldn't eat that much, so they only picked half a basket of vegetable leaves, and the two went to the pork stall to cut half a catty of pork.People saw that they had just picked up vegetable leaves, and knowing that the family was poor, they added some pig bones.

"Oh, thank you so much, boss." Sun Qiufang said to the owner of the meat stall.

"Boss, they are all begging for food. If you really want to pick up vegetable leaves, don't come at this time. When people close the stalls at 06:30 in the evening, they will throw a lot. Can you pick them up?" There are few good things. Sometimes I can go and get some good food back."

"I really didn't know this, thank you for reminding me." Sun Qiufang was very happy to meet a warm-hearted and kind man.

Su Min looked at the pork seller, but felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember this person.

The mother and daughter happily returned home with meat and vegetables.

"This dish is all picked up by us, and it doesn't cost money. The bones are also given by others. You say that in this country, who is willing to give such a good thing. I will make some big bone soup later, so that I can nourish my body."

While talking, Sun Qiufang showed all the things to Su Changrong.

Su Changrong also found it rare.There was never such a good thing before, that is, the vegetables in the vegetable garden had to be grown by oneself to eat, but now it is just a matter of picking them up.

"Minzi is right, this city is really nice. Qiufang, let's work hard and settle down in the city."

Sun Qiufang looked at Su Min who was settling accounts, and said with a smile, "I don't think about anything else now, I just want to settle down early and send Minzi to school. At her age, she can't hang out with us like this. go to school."

Su Changrong worried, "Will the schools in this city require us rural people to go to school?"

"I asked the people in the city today, and they said that I can read it, but I have to pay more. It's called borrowing. Anyway, if you have money, you can do it. Let's work harder and earn more money. With our current daily income , it won’t be long before you will have money.”

Sun Qiufang is now more confident about life in the city.In the past, I was worried about not making a living, but now that I have a way to make money and can pick up some good things from everywhere, life will definitely get better and better.

And the daughter is so sensible and caring, so there is nothing to look forward to.

Su Min was counting today's harvest and expenditure by the street lamp outside the door.

Now it's only a few yuan a day, which is actually not high according to her thinking.And after a while, more and more people pick up junk, and their business will get worse and worse.

It's just the first day of earning money now, and I don't have any money in my hand. Even if I have other ideas, I can't implement them.I still have to persist for a while, and see if I can change careers after I have money.After all, this job of picking up junk can't be done for a lifetime.

In the days that followed, everyone became more and more proficient at this job.
