Chapter 25, Penny

Xiao Qing took the money bag and weighed the copper coins inside: "Of course, the shopkeeper of Laibin Restaurant said that if their business gets better in the future, they will need more dogwood noodles!"

While talking, she walked to the bamboo basket, saw that there were almost no winter dates left in the bamboo basket, but no one bought pomegranates and sour pear lumps, she sighed, these two people really don't know how to do business, she taught them when she was leaving. How do they sell winter dates? They only buy winter dates. Why don't they give sour pears to others when they sell dates?How many pennies can you earn?I will carry them back later!

Not to mention the two of them, she could sell out the winter jujubes. She felt that Qin Shi and Er Jing had made a breakthrough, which was very good. She helped them pack the bamboo baskets and carried them on their backs.

After carrying the bamboo basket on her back, Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "Mother, let's go home. Our family has made so much money today, so we will make my sister-in-law happy when I go back."

They made so much money with their mother today, and my sister-in-law has nothing at home alone. I don't know if my sister-in-law will be careless. Go back and show her the money and give her a few coins. She should be happy with her.

Xiao Qing took out a pomegranate from the bamboo basket and handed it to the two of them: "You two hurry up and eat this, it's to quench your thirst."

Qin pushed the pomegranate: "Mother, I'm not thirsty, I don't want to eat, mother, you eat."

Qiao Erjing also doesn't want it: "Mother, you eat, we are not thirsty!"

Xiao Qing stared, and stuffed the pomegranate into Qin's hand: "Take it and eat it! If this pomegranate is kept for two days, it won't taste good, so eat it while it's still fresh!"

Qiao Erjing had a silly smile on his swarthy face, he wanted what his mother gave him, took the pomegranate, broke it open and gave it to his wife and mother first: "Mother, Xiaolan sold all the jujubes for fifty or sixty yuan. "

There are two big bamboo baskets of winter dates, and half a basket of pomegranates and pear lumps, which can hold more than ten catties.

The two handed nearly 54 Wen to Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing took it, and put it in the money bag, together with the [-] Wen: "Then mother will save it for you first, and when I go home, I will talk to your sisters-in-law." Divided together."

Qiao Erjing and Qin Shi felt that it was good for their mother to do so. The sister-in-law was alone at home looking after the children and taking care of them. She was the most tired, so she should also give her money.

"Okay, listen to me!" The two said at the same time.

The three of them ate pomegranates and sour pears, carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and rushed home together. It must have been a rewarding experience. Not only did they sell dates, but they also sold cornel noodles at such a good price. The three of them walked happily.

After the time limit, the three of them returned home.

Mrs. Zhou and Qiao Cheng ran to the gate of the courtyard to meet them, helped pick up the bamboo baskets, quickly brought water for the three of them, fanned them, and waited on them.

Xiao Qing called all the children to his side, and took out the money bag from his arms.

"Look, how much did grandma and your uncles and aunts sell for the jujube and cornel noodles today!"

Mrs. Zhou surrounded her with the children, and Qiao Cheng grabbed the grandma to look at the money bag in her hand.

Xiao Qing poured the money on the table with a "crash".

The copper plates on the table made a clear and loud sound, Qiao Cheng's eyes were dazzled.

Qin lowered her body and looked at the copper coins on the table, and said happily, "Mother sold a catty of dogwood noodles for 54 Wen, and Erjing and I only sold [-] Wen in total."

Mrs. Zhou, Qiao Yu and the others were taken aback. Looking at the copper plates all over the table, Mrs. Zhou exclaimed, "Mother, the rotten fruits all over the mountain, the dogwood that fell on the ground and no one cared about it, and the millet is still there!" Expensive, more expensive than meat? So much money?"

Almost two hundred texts!
They sold all their harvest for the year, not so much!
The copper plate on the table, together with the more than 50 Wen dates sold for Dongzao, made a total of 150 four Wen. How much money did you sell in a trip to the county?Are cornel noodles and winter jujube really so valuable?

Xiao Qing counted 54 papers from the table and gave them to Qiao Erjing: "This is the money you and your wife used to sell jujubes. Mom doesn't want yours, so keep it for yourself!"

She took out another twenty Wen from it and gave it to Mrs. Zhou: "You also keep some money with you. What other people's children eat, our children can eat in the future. Don't bend their mouths. Don't let the children grow up. I feel shorter than others when I eat!"

Mrs. Zhou panicked holding the heavy twenty Wen coins, and her eyes were wet again. Mother was so caring. Yuan Yuan and Qiao Cheng lay behind the house every day to smell the smell of food, and they didn't know they were being chased and beaten. How many times, they finally don't have to go to the village to smell the rice.

"Thank you mother!" Zhou said choked up.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was very emotional, Xiao Qing knew in her heart that she was very good-natured, kind and willing to endure hardships. She comforted Mrs. Zhou: "The family does not say thank you! Let's live a good life together! This money will increase in the future!"

Mrs. Zhou nodded silently, she believed what her mother said.

Xiao Qing looked around before finding Qiao Yu behind the Qin family. She picked the dates. It stands to reason that they shouldn't give them all to the second family, but the second family has worked hard today, so I will give them all. Not so shy.

She will give Qiao Yu's money!
She pulled Qiao Yu over from behind Qin.

Qiao Yu was so frightened that she shrank her head and called out in a low voice, "Mom!"

Xiao Qing knew that she was timid, and she never expressed her opinion on what the family said. She was naturally dumbfounded, and her reactions were slow.

"Don't be afraid of mother, mother wants to tell you that you still have your share of the money from selling jujubes today, but you have to save it with mother first, and when you find a good marriage in the future, mother will use the money as your dowry. I don’t have many mothers, just like your sister-in-law’s [-] coins, okay? If you can remember, write it down! Tell mother when the time comes!”

Qiao Yumu shook his head in a daze: "Mom, I don't want it! Just give it to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law."

Xiao Qing took her cold hand, and got closer to her side: "Silly girl, you must save money for yourself. No matter where you marry in the future, these are the confidence and guarantee for you to live a good life."

Qiao Yu nodded half-understood: "Oh, yes, yes, I'll listen to my mother!"

Xiao Qing let go of her icy hands with a smile, and then said to the children: "Okay, today I sold so much jujube and cornel, let's go to the mountains tomorrow, try to make more money, and sell them as soon as possible." Your uncle and aunt will bring you back, and the whole family will survive this cold winter!"

The children in the family responded in unison: "Okay, grandma!"

Xiao Qing let out a sigh of relief, she was exhausted this day, she was really tired: "Let's all go play!"

Seeing his mother's fatigue, Qiao Erjing gave Qin Shi 54 Wen. He pointed to the half-made bed over there. Done, let the mother lie down and rest.

Seeing my mother's fat body, I followed them to walk home from the county seat, and then from home to the county seat, back and forth, although I was tired, but my mother didn't say a word, my mother really changed a lot.

Xiao Qing sat for a while, then walked to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the Chongluan Yaoshan in front of her, feeling very comfortable physically and mentally, standing here, looking into the distance.
