Chapter 224 The Nanny's Dream Utopia (17)

"Mom, have you been feeling unwell recently?"

Sun shook her head and immediately denied it.Jiang Muxue sighed, she was homesick, but unfortunately, she couldn't do this for the time being.

Before the new year, she dropped such a big bomb on her three sons, and it went off as soon as it exploded. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she would also bring shame on herself.

Maybe at that time Liu Guihua will make a lot of noise in the streets and make the name Bai Haitang notorious.

And the unconventional behavior of myself and Sun's is destined to be tainted by those traditional old people who never dare to jump out of the shell.

She came to avenge Bai Haitang, not to pour dirty water on him.

However, Sun's unhappiness was not because of homesickness.

She said long ago that wherever Haitang is, that is her home.

Jiang Muxue asked again and again, and Sun revealed the truth. The old man no longer wanted to eat and wait at home to be hungry every day. She also wanted to do something to earn some money.

After listening, Jiang Muxue did not immediately retort, "Is the money I earn not enough for you to spend? You are already over 70, so don't worry about it."

Those who really understand the elderly will never say this, because the old people do things not for the sake of earning money, they just don't want to sit idle and wait to die.

From beginning to end, all they want is one thing, something that allows a day to flow away in a fulfilling world.

After thinking about it, Jiang Muxue changed her mind and said, "Actually, it's good, but I don't know what my mother can do."

Sun's eyes lit up, and his expression immediately became lively, "Let me tell you, those women in the West Alley are the ones who liked to come to our house to play a few years ago... These days they have nothing to do, they are all weaving grass at home. As for the baskets, it is said that they get materials from the middle and weave them according to other people's requirements, and they pay two yuan for each basket."

Oh, Jiang Muxue nodded, and then?
"The other day I saw that the knitting was really rough, not half as good as mine. The speed was also slow. I could knit ten knits a day, but they couldn't do eight knitting." Speaking of this, Mrs. Sun was very proud.

This Jiang Muxue letter, when Sun was young, used to follow Bai Haitang's father-in-law to sell bamboo baskets and grass baskets. At that time, Bai Haitang's husband, that is, Li Carpenter, had just left. For work, the couple put Carpenter Li on the cart, and the family of three went out to sell handmade bamboo and straw baskets.

After all, this was half a century ago.

"Begonia..." Seeing that Jiang Muxue had been silent, Mrs. Sun swiped her hand in front of her, and when Jiang Muxue came back to her senses, she closed her mouth.

But that look looked forward to his daughter-in-law agreeing to it.

"Don't mention it, I forgot about it. But weaving ten a day is too tiring and earns little. And the middle party has to take a bite out of it... Well, how about it, I've been looking for materials for the past two days Come on, buy some for your mother, you practice your hands first, make a few unique and novel shapes, and after you make them up, you will set up a stall with me at night, sell them next to me, and sell them directly to customers. It’s better for the middle party to get kickbacks from the middle.”

Mrs. Sun was overjoyed, and felt more and more that her daughter-in-law had a good idea. In this case, a basket could be sold for at least a few dollars more. In this way, she could also save some money for Haitang...

The more Sun thought about it, the more energetic she became, and she wished she could start right away.

Three days later, Jiang Muxue made her wish come true.

As far as Sun's craftsmanship is concerned, it is really not a built or woven basket, but a basket, a vivid handicraft.

Jiang Muxue looked at a few carefully, nodded in praise, and then said: "Smaller."

"Ah?" Mrs. Sun was puzzled, "These few are small enough, no matter how small they are, how can they hold things?"

Jiang Muxue laughed, "Mother, you don't understand now. Who still uses baskets to hold things nowadays? Life in the city is different from that in the countryside. Don't talk about the rich people, just take us as an example. Take a look, Is there anything like a bamboo basket in this house?"

"I don't need it at all! If you make it smaller and more delicate, I'll buy some decorative bouquets and hang them around the baskets. It's like a handicraft. In this way, each basket can sell for at least ten yuan more!"

"Really?" Mrs. Sun was dumbfounded, looking at the cheap materials in her hand, and then at the woven basket, she couldn't believe it for a moment.

With her rough and withered hands, how can she earn that much money?
Jiang Muxue spoke very solemnly.

Sun did what he said, and according to Jiang Muxue's request, he made up three in one go.

Jiang Muxue watched, nodded again and again, and immediately set a price, one fifteen, no counter-offer.

Sun immediately shivered a few times, "Fifteen? It's too expensive, does anyone buy it? I think ten yuan is fine."

"Mother, just weave it, fifteen or less! If you use a more complicated weave, I'll set the price at twenty or thirty."

Mrs. Sun didn't dare to listen anymore, and she didn't even dare to think about the price of her daughter-in-law.

Now there are too few tricks, she just works hard.

Two days later, Sun weaved a total of twelve baskets, using three weaving methods, all of which were dressed up beautifully by Jiang Muxue, and some of the baskets contained shells they brought back from Guazhou Island, not to mention , Such a dress is really pretty.

That night, Mrs. Sun went out with Jiang Muxue.

Today, the weather in April and May is just when the flowers are blooming in spring, and the night is neither too hot nor too cold. After arriving at the booth, Mrs. Sun sat obediently by the side, guarding her baskets nervously.

When the first customer stopped by, Sun became nervous and even forgot the price.

Jiang Muxue hurriedly said with a smile: "The styles are different, the prices are also different, and the weaving methods of different styles are also different. There are complicated ones and simple ones. Which one does this brother like?"

The man pointed at one casually and said he wanted to buy it for his daughter.

Jiang Muxue introduced with a smile, from the style to the weaving method, and even the origin of the shells in the basket. She had a good look and a serious expression. The person who listened was stunned for a while, and finally the price was mentioned. .

Jiang Muxue asked for twenty, but the man didn't even bat an eye, just paid for it, and bought a few sticks of gluten before leaving.

Sun took the 20 yuan and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Muxue acted coquettishly on purpose: "Mother, look at you, sell a basket and give me twenty strings of gluten!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun was very happy.

I have always sighed that times have really changed. In the past, I went to many houses in the streets to sell cheap things for a few cents. Now, they are so expensive!

In the evening, the first thing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did when they came home from the stall was to count the money. Jiang Muxue earned only one, two, and five dollars in loose change, which was normal, but Mrs. Sun earned tens of tens of dollars, let alone in her early days. Counted the money several times.

However, after she came back, she and Jiang Muxue counted the 220 yuan she earned, and smiled while counting, the kind of happiness that filled her whole body was indescribable.

After counting the money, hand it over to Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue kept the whole amount and deducted zero, and Mrs. Sun took the 25 yuan, not to mention how happy she was, even happier than the boss giving a bonus.

This is the money she earned, and she can spend it with peace of mind, and save a fortune for her children. This kind of feeling can only be experienced by parents.

Sun actually gave birth to three children, and only the eldest, Li Carpenter, survived. Now that Li Carpenter is gone, Bai Haitang is the closest person to her.

What's more, since the two of them left that small village wearing stars and wearing moons, and embarked on this utopian dreamland, the relationship between the two is no longer mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is closer than mother and daughter, and they are the only one for each other.
