Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 25 This kid doesn't say a word of truth
Wu Gensheng calmed down.

Suddenly he saw the sack in Chen Weidong's hand, which obviously contained goods. Could it be that he had misunderstood him? Could it be that he had something else to do these days and couldn't get away, so he came today?
Otherwise, Wu Gensheng really couldn't understand why he dared to come here after being deceived. How thick-skinned could he be!

Although Wu Gensheng lost face because of this incident, he would not go against the money.

His mind was working rapidly, and then Wu Gensheng's originally angry face turned into a smiling face behind him: "Little brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, why are you here so late!"

"I've been waiting for a few days. Are your wild hogs in sacks? Open them quickly so I can weigh them and settle the bill for you!"

Wu Gensheng continued.

"Old Wu, I'm so sorry. Those wild hogs accidentally ran away. It was so unlucky that the ropes that tied the wild hogs were bitten off."

Chen Weidong explained seriously.

"Ran?"

Wu Gensheng was stunned, but he simply didn't believe that this kid didn't say a single honest word.

"Then why did you come here?" Wu Gensheng asked unhappily.

"Isn't it because I didn't get the badger thing done? I feel sorry for my brother, right? So I brought two pheasants and two hares this time. Do you want them? If not, I'll take them back!"

"Uh……"

These words were so beautiful that Wu Gensheng couldn't help but doubt himself. With that mean heart, what was that jealousy? He was not well educated and couldn't think of it, but he nodded without hesitation and said:

"receive!"

Chen Weidong smiled when he heard this. Just as he expected, Wu Gensheng was greedy for money. There was no reason for him not to do business that came to him.
Besides, although Chen Weidong had fooled him last time, for Wu Gensheng it was just a matter of earning more or less, and he did not suffer any loss.

"The two hares weigh seven and a half catties, and the two pheasants weigh three and a half catties. I'll give you three and a half catties.

It adds up to 11 jin in total. The pheasants and rabbits here are all priced at 35 cents, so the total is 3.85 yuan."

"Forty-three cents a pound. Old Wu, I come here specially to sell it to you." Chen Weidong bargained immediately.

Wu Gensheng shook his head: "43 cents is not enough, 39 cents."

"Forty-two cents."

"..."

"The price is 40 cents a pound," "Brother, pork is only 80 cents, this price is not cheap, if you buy it two months in advance,

I charge a lower price. Others charge 35 cents per pound. I charge 40 cents per pound.”

Wu Gensheng said unhappily that this guy was really good at bargaining, but he was telling the truth.

Usually, many people come to sell pheasants and rabbits. To be honest, there is no shortage of pheasants and rabbits in his store. The price is usually 35 cents.

Giving Chen Weidong four cents was not because he was nice to Chen Weidong, but other people who came here did not bargain, unlike this kid, and he really couldn't handle it.

"Four cents is fine!"

The prices of these wild goods vary in different places. Seeing Wu Gensheng's reluctance to spend a penny, Chen Weidong knew that he had almost reached the bottom line.

"Four dollars and four cents."

Although Wu Gensheng felt a little pained, he did not bargain with Chen Weidong anymore.

After receiving the money, he exchanged it for some cotton coupons, food coupons, etc. from Wu Gensheng. This time Wu Gensheng was smart and did not give it away for free.

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Chen Weidong came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Chen Weidong was selecting carefully the cloth on the counter.

In fact, there are tailor shops in the countryside these days.

But it’s too expensive for the tailor shop to make shoes and clothes!

Since he was buying cloth to make cotton shoes for the little ones, Chen Weidong selected it very carefully and finally chose the fabric with small floral patterns.

Bright yellow printing and dyeing, with small daisies dotting it.

The material is pure cotton, which is considered to be the best fabric.

Chen Weidong knew that Liu Xue Tingli was here and would definitely not let him buy it.

but.

Just think of it as my own selfishness. The little ones are all little girls, how can they always wear linen black cloth shoes?

"Comrade, I want this floral cloth. How much does it cost per foot?"

The teller came over, stretched out the ruler in his hand and pointed at a pile of cloth, saying, "Do you want this?"

Chen Weidong nodded.

The teller said, "This cloth is top-quality cotton, 2.20 cents a foot!"

"Give me four feet!"

"Eighty-eight cents in total!"

I bought four feet of cloth to make cotton shoes for the little ones, and then I bought a pound of cotton. Cotton was quite expensive those days, and a pound of cotton cost two dollars and fifty cents. I also bought some thread.

Chen Weidong paid the money, then went to the grain station, used the remaining money to buy grain, and then hurried home.

All the way back to Jiuqutun,

"Weidong, what are you doing?"

"Dongzi, why haven't I seen you looking for work these days?"

"..."

Passing by the village entrance, many idle men and women in the village were chatting. Some greeted Chen Weidong, while others pointed and gossiped behind his back.
After all, Chen Weidong has six daughters, which is a well-known fact in the village. In this day and age, if one has six daughters in a row and no sons, there will inevitably be gossip.

……

back home.

Sanni, Sini and Wuni were squatting at the gate of the yard and playing!
As soon as they heard the voice, their eyes lit up and they all looked up at him.

I saw that it was Dad who came back.

Before Chen Weidong could react, he saw three little kids rushing straight into his arms.

He hurriedly put down the sack in his hand and hugged the three little guys, one on each side.

"Luckily there are only three people at the door. If six had come, he wouldn't have been able to hold them all."

Chen Weidong sighed, but he felt happy in his heart. Now, the little kids were getting closer and closer to him.

"Dad, Si Ni misses you~"

Si Ni's furry head was like a bunch of dry grass, rubbing against his neck, making him feel itchy and prickly.

"Dad, dad~"

Wu Ni, shouted anxiously.

"Okay, Dad knows you want it too!"

Chen Weidong smiled. This little guy sometimes didn't speak so clearly, while Sanni was much more reserved.

After the two little kids Si Ni and Wu Ni finished acting coquettishly, they turned their little heads into his sack.

Chen Weidong smiled and said, "No need to look, Dad didn't buy any food this time."

"We still have pecans and pine nuts that my father dug in the mountains. We haven't eaten them all yet."

"Uh-huh."

Wu Ni nodded.

"Dad, why are you buying cotton? We can't eat it!"

At this time, Si Ni asked in a baby voice.

Chen Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little guy was just thinking about eating!

"It's not for you to eat. This is the cotton that Mommy needs to make new shoes."

Looking at the cute appearance of the little girl, Chen Weidong couldn't help but gently pinched her little face.

"Sanni, Sini, do you want to wear new cotton shoes?"

Chen Weidong asked, he didn't ask Wu Ni because the little girl was hugging his thighs and spinning around!
