Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 19 Pocket Money

By the time Tian Yuan got ready, Liu Long and the others had already left for a while.

Li Mei sat alone at the door, holding the ten yuan in her hand, and said happily: "I don't know if anyone else wants to make pants, otherwise I can increase my income."

After a while, she denied herself again, "Well, no one else will do it. Xiao Meiyun's family has money, so she doesn't care about this little money. There are only a few families in the village who can compare with her family."

She shook her head, and sat there a little disappointed, looking out of the room with empty eyes.

I thought it was a way to get money...

She is 36 years old this year.

After marrying Tian Zhi, because she was only allocated a few pieces of barren land when the family was separated, she had to follow Tian Zhi to work up and down the mountains every day. She did no less farm work than Tian Zhi, and she had to wash and cook when she returned home.

day to day…

Her skin began to turn dark yellow, years of wind and frost had carved marks on her face, her hands were dry and rough, with cracks on the back of her hands, and calluses on her palms.

On it is black mud and sunlight that cannot be washed off, hiding the snow, rain, wind and frost all the way.

When the children grew up and were able to help with some work, she felt a little more relaxed.

Tian Yuan looked at her quietly for a while, and then she heard her unusually calm voice, "Wait a minute, wait until Liu Long finishes this job, after a while, people who want to do it will come to you .”

Li Mei was pulled back to her senses by her sudden voice, and seeing Tian Yuan's determined look, she asked curiously, "Are you so sure?"

"Those who have money don't necessarily like this kind of thing; those who have their own sewing machines probably won't come, they can do it themselves, so why waste the money?"

She shook her head, looking hopeless.

"Can you tell me, what's the difference between these pants and the ones you've seen before?" Tian Yuan asked her.

"Isn't it just a few extra pockets?" Li Mei replied without thinking.After a pause, she hesitated, "Well, there are indeed many differences. The first is that the waist is different, and it is not the same as the average one; and."

She looked at Tian Yuan, thought about it again, and said: "If we do it according to their past experience...it may not be the same."

"They will definitely think it is very simple like me, and they will try to do it at home first."

Tianyuan nodded and said, "Yes! In fact, the fee of ten yuan is not expensive. It includes different designs and your experience."

"Let's not talk about the comparison in this aspect, let's say that it costs at least thirty or forty to buy a pair of better-looking trousers on the street, and the style of our trousers is not inferior to those sold in those stores, and may even be more popular. welcome."

She continued: "Although they make the cloth themselves, you are the only professional who knows how many clothes a piece of cloth can make, and you must understand better than me. So, if it were you, would you still think the price is high?"

Hearing her analysis, Li Mei also felt that the price was indeed not high, as a piece of cloth could make several sets of clothes!

She felt a little more relieved. Before, she always had the feeling that she had cheated the people in the village.

Of course, the main reason is that they may not be able to do it themselves; otherwise, five yuan would be too expensive for them!
Thinking of this, she became happy again, a little nervous and looking forward to it, and at the same time told herself in her heart to keep a normal mind and not place too much hope on this.

"Then I'll go to school first!"

This time, Tian Yu didn't go to school together. She was still in the sixth grade of elementary school. She was not in the same school as Tian Yuan, nor did she go to boarding school. She didn't go to school until Monday.

Tianyuan carried the schoolbag on his back, which was already filled with rice and vegetables, and it was heavy.

She told Li Mei: "Mom, if someone really comes to you later, if it's less than ten yuan, you can just reject it."

"The reason is ready, busy!"

Just when he was about to leave, Tian Yuan thought about it, but he was still a little worried, so he turned around and said to Li Mei:
"Don't lower your price just because some people who are close to you come to you. If the price is not unified, if Liu Long's mother finds out that you charge others a lower price than hers, there will be trouble. .”

Li Mei heard her talk a lot, waved her hand, and said impatiently: "Okay, I understand, I still need you to teach me? Go to school quickly, it's getting late."

She didn't know how Tianyuan became so verbose, she couldn't say a few words for a long time before.

Not only has it become more verbose, but the main thing is that it has become more diligent. These two days are all housework done by the countryside.

She and Tian Zhi would be able to eat as soon as they came back. Li Meisong was quicker, but worried that this would affect his pastoral studies.Instead, Tian Yuan comforted her by saying that reading for a long time is not good for her eyes, and she can relax by doing something, so it is not easy to be short-sighted...

It's really strange, I'm afraid it's not that the brain is enlightened and sensible?

Li Mei thought happily, turned around and went back to the room to call Tian Zhi, it was time to go to work in the field!
……

The afternoon sun is still very hot, the main road is bare, and there are no trees, only a shadow behind the house, and the countryside tries to walk to the shaded place as much as possible.

Before she had gone far, she heard Li Mei calling her from behind, "Yuanyuan, wait a minute."

She looked back and saw that Li Mei was walking quickly, she hurried up to meet her, "Mom, what else can I do?"

Li Mei walked up to her, handed her the money in her hand, and said, "Hey, it's your pocket money. I'll take your other four dollars first, and I'll pay your tuition fee then!"

Tianyuan took it with a smile, "Okay, you go back, I'm leaving."

In the past few days, Li Mei has gotten used to her talking like this. Looking at her back, she told her, "You should study hard at school, and you don't need to worry about making money. The exam is coming soon, so don't be distracted."

"understood!"

……

Tian Yuan went to find Tian Xiao first, and then walked to Wang Xiuhong's house together.

I ran into a few male classmates on the road, Tian Xiao greeted them one by one, and Tian Yuan occasionally said something beside him.

The same new pair of trousers she was wearing today.

After showing it in front of the children in the village yesterday, she changed it and washed it when she got home, and she just continued to wear it to school after it was dry today.

Those who hadn't seen her pants yesterday had their eyes glued to her, until they were called away by the fellow boys, and in the end they looked back frequently...

I was thinking that the pants that can be worn in rural areas must not be expensive!Next time I go home, I must ask my parents to buy one too.

...

"I'm going to find He Yuting first to see if she's at home. You go first." When seeing He Yuting's house, Tian Yuan said to Tian Xiao and Wang Xiuhong, and walked towards the house.

After parting, Tianyuan arrived at the door of He Yuting's house, only to see the door was open, but no one was seen inside.

"He Yuting, are you at home?" She let go of her voice and shouted.

"Hey, I'm at home!" She heard the voice, and saw He Yuting appearing on the balcony on the second floor, waving at her.

"Go inside and wait a minute, I'll come down now."

Tian Yuan walked into the main room, it was much cooler inside, she looked around, waited for He Yuting to come down, and said to her: "Is there any tea, I'll drink some first."

"Yes, I'll pour it for you."
