When Zhao Lanxiang returned to the room, she saw the pile of scattered money lying on the table, and her hand wiping her hair was stagnation.
The dim light of the kerosene lamp cast on her plain face, she looked at the money and pursed her lips involuntarily.This family is too poor, too poor, beyond Zhao Lanxiang's imagination.People who can't even eat enough for three meals can talk about happiness. Zhao Lanxiang feels that she should start doing something to improve the family's distress.
He Sanya and her grandmother lay on the bed, she licked her mouth happily and contentedly.
"Did you eat the meat?"
The old man put his granddaughter in his arms and patted her back gently with a dry wood-like hand, "Eat it."
The stewed pig's trotters had a beautiful taste that reminded the elderly of the scene before He's home.At that time, the helpers of the family were in groups, with good food and meat that could not be eaten, and silk satin that could not be worn... With these beautiful memories, the old man sank into a sweet dream.
...
Zhao Lanxiang was sent to the cornfield to fertilize early in the morning. She carried the ash at the bottom of the stove and waited for the members to dig a small pit and shoveled it down.
At this time, the corn had already issued a shoot with a height equal to that of others, and the lack of fertilizer was very bad. Zhao Lanxiang was not afraid of being dirty or tired. The most fearful thing was the furry bugs hidden under the corn leaves.She turned around in three steps, and she could see the creeping worm in her vision.This sour taste is more tormenting than letting her hands and feet rub the bleeding bubble.
At this time, she pulled out a caterpillar from her cuffs and crawled over sometime, stunned her body.
"Sister Zhao!"
He Sanya drilled from the corn stalk full of green eyes, took two sticks and quickly grabbed the insects in Zhao Lanxiang's hands into her bamboo tube.
Zhao Lanxiang wiped a cold sweat, "Why are you here?"
She touched He Sanya's sweaty head, and the little girl handed the bamboo tube in her hand honestly, and there was a bunch of creeping insects entangled in the fat bamboo tube.
Zhao Lanxiang looked at the chicken skin all over her and was frightened.
"I'll catch insects and feed chickens." He Sanya whispered, her eyes black and white.
She lifted the lid and glanced at the bugs in her eyes, and it would be enough to catch today's portion.
Zhao Lanxiang knew that the chickens at home were fed by He Sanya, and she admired her even more.
When Sister He took the chickens back from the town as a small pile of fluff, He Sanya began to feed them. She loved these chickens very much and ran to the chicken pen every day to hug one by one. Yes, every chicken is brightened by her feathers fed with insects.
Every day, Sister He can pick up two or three eggs, which are round and full. She will knock a bowl of egg custard every three times to make up for her grandmother's nutrition. The remaining eggs are all saved by her. Let the younger brother take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange money.
For this difficult family, hens are treasury, and the money in exchange for eggs is a very important income.If it weren't for the commune to stipulate that each family could raise up to three chickens, the hardworking three sisters would definitely raise a dozen or twenty chickens in one go.
He Sanya licked her mouth and said, "Big Brother is going to town for egg money today."
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Really? I happen to go to the town to do something."
After finishing her morning work, she took leave decisively.Captain Li Dali opened his eyes and closed his eyes and gave Zhao Lanxiang the job of Zhou Jiazhen. Anyway, if he didn't work, he wouldn't get a cent.
He Songbai, like the unreasonable Sanya, said fiercely: "Don't make trouble, eggs are for me."
Relying on his youth, he wanted to forcefully take back the egg basket in the woman's hand.
Unexpectedly, the woman bowed her head and hugged the egg firmly in her chest with both hands.She didn't get entangled with him, and turned and walked away.As he walked, he counted him down and said, "That man had a bad attitude just now, but you are very kind to others. I didn't offend you much, you put on this stinky face."
"Wait for you to watch, don't stop it."
Zhao Lanxiang took the eggs to a street in the black market, and she looked at the pedestrians.
An elder sister looked at her eggs a few times, Zhao Lanxiang waved at her, and the two went to a hidden place.
Zhao Lanxiang whispered: "Fresh farm-grown eggs, big enough nutritious enough, you can have a confinement of maternal and elderly people at home, the price is cheap, childish without bullying."
Her voice is thin and clean, and she uses standard Mandarin, which is different from the rough and sloppy uncle elsewhere. Her serious and clean appearance makes her look comfortable.
"How much is this?"
"Little girl, you're such an egg? Can more points be cheaper?"
Zhao Lanxiang nodded.
The elder sister bought half a basket of eggs.
Zhao Lanxiang did it the same way, whoever stared at her egg, she went to recruit the guest
Zhao Lanxiang used this sneaky method, and a basket of more than 30 eggs was quickly sold out. The eggs of the He family were of very good quality. Once they were put out, it was easy to be seen by others.
She finally ordered the money in her hand. She bought two extra cents for each egg and sold a total of thirty cents for thirty eggs. She handed the money to He Songbai in full.
He Songbai watched her sell eggs silently from the beginning, until Zhao Lanxiang sold out the eggs, his dull eyes had a feeling of relief.
"you you......"
He Songbai's thin lips fainted faintly, as if he knew Zhao Lanxiang again.
The fierceness in his eyes suddenly dangled, and soon became more fierce and unreasonable, "You can't do this kind of thing in the future!"
He considered it for her thoroughly. The ship of the He family was completely rotten, and it was their business to see how bad it was.But she is a bright and knowledgeable young man who does not lack money or food, and cannot do for them... doing such bad bad things.
Zhao Lanxiang said with a smile: "You control me?"
The woman's smiling eyes were bright and warm, and the brilliant light shattered into the eyes.Her slim body walked on the road with a generous style, full of self-confidence and firm temperament, she knew everything, and could block all his crude words with full words.
He is clever and unreasonable.
He Songbai fell into a terrible calm, his thin lips tightening pale.
Zhao Lanxiang didn't care, and said easily: "Come on, I'm going to buy some meat."
