Hard times have room

Chapter 581 Getting Ready
Listening to Pauline counting the things she had to do when she went to school, it was at this time that Wang Jiandang realized that the school was about to start.

In the past, after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth, Paulin went to school to report.

This time Pauline stayed at home for a long time, which also caused him to forget that Pauline was still a student and needed to go to school.

It was only at this time that Wang Jiandang realized, and so did Su Hongying. If Paulin didn't mention it, she would have forgotten that Paulin had to go to school to report.

"It's true, if you don't tell me, Mom almost forgot what you were going to report at school." Su Hongying said a little embarrassedly.

But that's all. During this time, there were a lot of things in the family. She was busy and forgot, not only her, but also Pauline's father.

Hearing this, Pauline was the most speechless. Everyone knew about this, and she knew that her parents were not so reliable. But when she said it, it was another situation.

In front of her parents, Pauline rolled her eyes helplessly: "I knew you forgot about it, but fortunately I still remember it myself."

"Do you want to go to school by yourself the day after tomorrow? Or will I and your mother take you there?" Wang Jiandang scratched his ears and asked a little embarrassedly.

Usually Pauline is too worry-free, which also causes them not to care enough about her affairs, and they all think that Pauline can handle it by herself.

Compared to the treatment of the other two villagers who were several years older than Pauline, they were indeed not very competent.

"No, there is something else in your house, I can go by myself, Dongmei and I are going to sell mushrooms, just the two of us." As for her father's proposal, Pauline refused without thinking.

This time, I went to school mainly to find her head teacher. Most of the things need her head teacher to handle. She can handle these things by herself. Her parents should stay at home!

"Okay!" Wang Jiandang nodded, not asking to follow.

Previously, Paulin had been reporting to the school by herself, and nothing happened, so he was very relieved.

However, you can rest assured that the tuition fee will still be paid. It has been a year and a half. The money in Paulin's hand should be almost spent. Later, he plans to discuss with his daughter-in-law and give Bao Lin Lin took ten yuan and let her spend it slowly.

"Dad, haven't you said the price of the mushrooms you brought two days ago?" Paulin pointed out directly after seeing Wang Jiandang who was about to leave.

What's going on? This series of conversations happened because she wanted to know how her father sold the mushrooms. It was fine before, but after the conversation changed, she forgot about it!

"Oh, look at my head, as soon as I have something else, I forget it." Wang Jiandang patted his head and said angrily, as he got older, his memory was getting worse and worse.

"Last time I went to the county seat, the mushrooms were sold for seven cents a pound. The requirements are not too strict. The main thing is that they are fresh, and they are easy to sell."

He went to the black market to sell mushrooms. It was also a matter of the past few days. He went there twice in total. This is because he did it after the bus in Hongxing Town reopened. Otherwise, the transportation would be inconvenient. didn't work either.

At the beginning, he sold it with the mentality of giving it a try. He didn't expect that the black market was really closed, and the price was okay. Although it couldn't compare to the price of grain, mushrooms were a worthless trade. He went to the mountain to pick up the ones that were already sold, and he was very satisfied that he could sell them at this price.

"Okay, I know the price you're selling, and when I go to sell it the day after tomorrow, I'll have the bottom line." Pauline squinted her eyes with a smile.

Early the next morning, Baolin and Dongmei went to the back mountain with a basket on their backs, and they kept rummaging for the mushrooms under the grass with a stick.

Neither of them returned at noon. Paulin took out a bag of beans, and Dongmei took out a sweet potato. After the two shared the meal, they continued.

After this turn, it turned to the sun setting, and the baskets behind the two were almost full. This basket of mushrooms was about twenty pounds at least.

After returning home, pick and choose. Those dead branches and leaves, as well as old and shriveled mushrooms, must be picked out. After all, this mushroom is to be sold. Naturally, the more beautiful it is, the better.

Although neither of them knew how much the mushrooms could sell for, there was hope, and they were full of energy.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, in the early morning, before dawn, Pauline got up. Although she didn't know what time it was, it didn't matter. The most important thing right now was to make breakfast, finish breakfast, and clean up. Well, she's going to Dongmei's house to find her.

This was the first time the two of them went to the county town together, so it was a reasonable thing to do earlier.

After all, the two of them are not light to fight. They have to carry a backpack to the car. This backpack is not light. Last night, her parents put a scale on her backpack, and it weighed [-] pounds. After removing the weight of the backpack itself, mushrooms should have Seventeen or eight catties, as long as they can sell them at a price of five cents per catty, then they will not lose money. It should be possible to go a few more times and earn a few yuan.

After Pauline was all packed up, the rest of the breakfast was warmed on a small fire, and then she walked out of the courtyard of her house.

She went out empty-handed, and she didn't bring anything with her. Her home was at the entrance of the village. When Dongmei was called, and when the two left the village together, it was not too late to go home and bring a backpack.

It's not yet dawn, but I can see a little bit clearly. Bao Lin thinks that it should be no problem to go to Dongmei's house. She is familiar with the roads in the village. This is the first time, so she will go to Dongmei. The Mei family called her. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, she can just wait at home for Dongmei to come to the door.

As soon as Paulin approached the gate of Dongmei's house, she heard the movement from her house, and she threw the basin and moved the stool, which was really lively.

Bao Lin tentatively pushed the gate of Dongmei's house, but it turned out to be really pushed open. Maybe she told Dongmei yesterday that she would come to her, so Dongmei came together this morning to put it away. The latch on the courtyard door opened.

As soon as she entered the courtyard door, Paulin went straight to the source of the sound, which was Dongmei's kitchen. She could clearly see the fire in the kitchen from the outside, so there must be someone inside.

"Dong Dong Dong Dongmei" Pauline knocked at the door.

"Hey, Paulin, come in directly!" Wang Dongmei said as she walked out with her bowl in hand.

There are far fewer people in the kitchen now than when Paulin came to see them before. There are only Grandma Wang and Dongmei, plus Xu Zhaodi, Dongmei's sister-in-law.

Just by looking at the people inside, you can tell that the Dongmei family is the only three who wake up now.
