Hard times have room

Chapter 707 Make money!
"Okay." As the word came out of Wang Jiandang's mouth, the things he was carrying were also put into the sack that Pauline was carrying.

After everything was sorted out, the father and daughter walked slowly on the trail in the county town, gradually drifting away.

Walking to the trail in the county town, they can see some people rubbing their hands and gasping for breath, sweeping snow with brooms and dustpans, sweeping the snow for a while, breathing hot air into their hands, and then leaning the brooms against the bend of their hands. , and rubbed his frozen red hands vigorously.

Of course, there are some that are more fully equipped, with scarves around their necks and gloves on their hands, so they work much harder.

In addition to the snow sweepers, the most conspicuous ones are the large snowdrifts. Because the snow in these days is too much and too thick, in order not to block the road, I have no choice but to place in some unimportant empty places or abandoned alleys. There is snow piled up here. After all, the snow in the entire county is transported to the outskirts.

In the county town where people often clean up, the father and daughter walked relatively easily, but it was more difficult to walk out of the county town. There was snow everywhere. If it weren't for Wang Jiandang, he was very familiar with the way back. , maybe they will get lost.

Not to mention, at this time, if Pauline was to return alone, she would have to spend a lot of thought and time on the road, especially in the choice of the fork in the road, she needed to recall, check, and compare repeatedly before she could. Dare to choose which path, and dare not go indiscriminately.

Although it may still take the right path in the end, it will take many times more time, which is a bit laborious, so it is a very correct decision to follow her father.

In addition to the annoying direction, the rest is more annoying than the thick snow, especially in those remote roads, where Pauline stepped on her legs and covered her thighs, one can imagine How thick is the snow.

Whenever they reach this kind of road, they need her father's help. It takes a lot of effort just to pull her, not to mention that they also bring luggage.

Going back all the way, although it was very difficult, but the father and daughter helped each other, and they returned to Shanghe Village in the afternoon without any risk.

When I got home, it was already a little late. After Paulin came home, she only soaked her feet in hot water and simply packed up the things she brought back. It was almost dark that day.

The dinner was not made by Pauline, but Su Hongying happily managed it.

The burning branches made a crackling sound. In addition, the black smoke slowly drifted out from the center of the fire, and the kitchen roof changed from the original mud yellow to pitch black. The culprit is it.

Although the fire in the fire pond is not big, it is enough for heating, especially in the small kitchen with the doors and windows closed, the temperature is more than a little higher than the outside, after all, there are only two small slaps in the kitchen The hole, and other places, except for the cracks in the doors and windows, are all airtight.

A family of three sat by the fire pit with bowls and ate while roasting.

"Dad, did the bamboo rat sell well?" Bao Lin drank a big mouthful of warm porridge in confusion, and said in a vague tone.

She wanted to ask this before, but she had been on her way all the time. If she spoke at that time, the cold wind would pour into her mouth, and she didn't want to speak. She didn't ask during the second half of the break. It was just too cold. , froze her brain, she forgot about it.

"It's going well, four yuan a pound, it's worth a lot of money, we have to take good care of the bamboo rats at home, if there is such an income every year, our family will have a better life in the future, after ten years, maybe the captain Our family is not as rich as ours.”

"And your mother said that all the money from selling bamboo rats this time will be saved for you to go to college next year." Wang Jiandang said happily after taking a sip of porridge.

As soon as he came back, he took his daughter-in-law into the room and told her what had happened in the county town these few days. Of course, the money was also handed over. At that time, Paulin seemed to be washing her feet or packing her things?He couldn't remember clearly, but Pauline didn't hear it anyway, so he deliberately avoided what Pauline told his wife.

Now he will answer what Pauline said, or he has asked his daughter-in-law, and she said that he can tell Pauline what he said.

"Not bad, it turns out that bamboo rats are so valuable. It would be great if they could have this price in the future. Four yuan a pound, this is going to be paid!" Bao Lin shook her head and roughly calculated the specific value. startled.

You must know that this bamboo rat is a high-yield thing. It can give birth to two or three broods of small bamboo rats a year, one to four at a time. This is the number of bamboo rats born in her family, which Baolin summed up. It should probably be this number. .

Now there are five female mice, plus two male mice, a total of seven mice. If there are no accidents in her family, ten bamboo mice will be born casually a year. Rat breeding has been sold, it is really a lot of money!
"You little head melon think of good things, I have already asked, the price of bamboo rats fluctuates between one and two yuan per pound in normal years, and it is not as exaggerated as four yuan, but it is not bad, raising these The little things are worth the money earned by two strong laborers in a year." Speaking of which, Wang Jiandang was particularly grateful to the restrained self before.

Fortunately, I held back and didn't eat the bamboo rat that Paulin just caught, and I raised it for a few years without any regrets or troubles. Now I finally see the reward, which is still visible to the naked eye. It's just too much.

Among other things, given him three years, as long as there are no accidents, it is still easy to save 500 yuan. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

With these bamboo rats, it seems that the husband and wife have been worrying about the food and living expenses of Pauline in the university can be effectively solved.

"That's not bad," Pauline said with a smile. As for more details about what her dad did in the black market, she didn't want to ask.

After dinner, the family sat by the fire pit and roasted the fire. The orange-red fire was reflected on the faces of Bao Lin and Wang Jiandang.

A few days ago, both Paulin and Wang Jiandang went to Jiangning County, leaving her alone at home to guard this empty home. It was really uncomfortable.

In the afternoon of that day, her familiar home made her feel deserted. It was clear that Baolin and Wang Jiandang had only left for a while.

It's as if Paulin and Wang Jiandang's departure indirectly took away the popularity of this house. Sure enough, if people are there, the family will still be there, but if people are gone, no matter how good this family is, it's still an empty shell. Useless.
