Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Many people felt a little disappointed when they heard that no money would be distributed today.

Then I thought about it, they didn't spend money on food every day, let alone clothes. Each family shared some of the quilts they snatched from Yangjiao Mountain, some took them apart to make thick cotton clothes, and some used cotton inside. Play it, dry it in the sun again, and still make a quilt, it is very warm.

After providing food and clothing, everything else is nothing to them!

"Let's just wait until the end of the month and work hard every day. The village chief will definitely not cheat us!"

"Girl Xu has her dreams in mind! How can our brains compare to hers, let alone the village chief, second uncle and brother A Liang?"

"Yes, we listen to you!"

After saying that, the few people who came out of the stall got into the house. There was a small stove burning in the main room. The stove was made of mud and was not very delicate. There was a small pot on it, which was making a gurgling sound.

When Zheng Liniang saw everyone coming in, she immediately put her hands on a cloth, picked up the small pot and poured the hot soup into a bowl.

"Hurry around the stove and warm yourself up. Each of you can drink a bowl of the ginger soup to warm yourself up!"

Grandpa Er, Jiang Zhengmao and the Zheng Wang family also came in, along with the former village chief Zheng and now Mr. Zheng.

As soon as his butt landed on the stool, the second grandfather couldn't help but ask: "What's the scene like on the street? Can we keep doing this business?"

The second mistress gave her old man a complaining look and said, "I've been busy all day, and my ears almost froze off on the way back. I'd better ask someone to warm me up before we talk."

"You old woman, I'll give you what you can do if you go to the county seat!" The second grandfather was very helpless. He had only been doing business for a day, but something seemed wrong about his old woman.

The second mistress didn’t think about anything. She just felt that she had been following her old man in the past and letting him make the decision on everything. But now she saw that she could still do the same without the old man. She was also panicked during the busiest period. For a moment, she never knew she was so capable!

Jiang Boliang said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I called everyone here just to talk about what happened during the day. Although we have made a lot of money, we still don't think thoroughly. We also want everyone to get an idea."

Then he talked about the scene when he was selling things on the street today. After briefly speaking, he added: "The business is busy, and the three of them are not enough. Every day I have to go with someone who can settle accounts. Man, physical work can also help. When the wasteland comes down at home, I still have to do the work in the fields, so I can't follow you all day long..."

After everyone understood Jiang Boliang's words, they began to discuss the suitable candidates to follow the people going to the county seat, and finally decided that Zheng Cong, Zheng Yuan, his brother-in-law Zheng Ziqian, and Li Ergou would take turns.

Although Zheng Cong is illiterate, he can calculate accounts quickly. Zheng Ziqian went to a private school before and originally planned to go to the county to be an accountant. Now he doesn't have to bother to find one. As for Li Ergou, he is one of the mountain people. He is not good-looking but has a brain. Lively, Jiang Zhengmao watched him for a few days and felt that this person was useful.

After making the appointment, Jiang Boliang talked about putting chili powder in tofu. He also proposed to keep some soy milk when making tofu in the future, sprinkle some sugar in it, put it on the stove to warm over low heat, and sell a bowl for three pennies.

"Is three cents a bit expensive?" Jiang Zhengmao was a little worried.

Jiang Huaixu explained: "Soy milk is sold to people who have money and leisure. It is very pleasant to drink some sweet soy milk in winter. Not to mention the sugar in it, the chili powder I bought is very expensive, and the price of tofu is already sky-high. We can only make up for it from the side.”

Jiang Boliang answered, "Anyway, it's not much different. If we can't sell out, we'll take it back and give it to the children to drink."

Hearing this, no one else objected.

Silent all night.

When Jiang Huaixu woke up the next day, he was still woken up by Fu Tuan, half an hour earlier than yesterday, at Yinzheng (four o'clock) time.

She huddled under the quilt and bought warm gloves and hats at the modern mall. She only bought two gloves for the driver. The hat she chose was in the style of an ancient hood, but it was not that long. Just tie the ropes on both sides and it would be ready. To protect ears and cheeks, I bought it for both adults and children.

After doing all this, she lazily sat up from the bed, got dressed and found Qian Xiuzhu who had already started working. "Mom, I have prepared gloves and hats. Whoever drives the car will wear the gloves. Each of you has one hat. They are all made of cotton. , put it on to keep warm.”

Qian Xiuzhu also came up with the idea of ​​making gloves yesterday. She also thought that if there was still some wolf skin left after making boots, she would find a way to make two pairs for the driver. Unexpectedly, her little girl had already thought of it.

She touched her little girl's head and sighed in her heart, "Mom, I understand. Now that we have settled down and have a way to make money, you should keep the things in your little house for yourself. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can still do it." Rely on, compared to what you give to your parents, what your parents can give you now is really too little."

"Mom, I have a strong balance in my heart. I know whoever treats me well. Things are meant to be used, and I can earn them back with my own skills."

Jiang Huaixu's eyes were burning and intense, and he was so confident that he was a bit arrogant, but people couldn't look away.

She never minded that Jiang Boliang and his wife and Jiang Erlang were nice to her because of guilt or space. She accepted all the kindness from others, and she never felt that apart from other factors, she was not worthy of these 'goodies'.

These are all because she has herself as a backer and has such confidence in her heart.

After everything was loaded into the car, Qian Xiuzhu took out the prepared gloves and hats and distributed them to everyone.

"Xiuzhu, what did you do? I've never seen this style before!" Second Mistress looked at the gloves and hat carefully and looked at them for a long time before putting them on.

"It's so warm!"

"I've been very busy these days, so I don't have time to do this. I bought it from Sister Xu. I don't know which town I bought it in before. I just found it today. It happened to be cold on the road, and this can also block the wind. "

This time Jiang Fu was left at home. Most of her things were put on the bullock cart, and everyone was sitting in the cart.

"Where did Miss Xu get so much money? We saw that she bought a lot of things when we were fleeing the desert?" Du Mei was very curious about this matter.

When her sister-in-law could still speak, she had heard a lot of bad things about Jiang Huaixu. She originally looked down on Jiang Huaixu, but after this experience she was convinced.

Qian Xiuzhu knew that this niece-in-law liked to inquire about other families' affairs, was quick-tongued and liked to take advantage of her. Fortunately, she was quick with her hands and feet and cooked well, so she chose her.

After a day of silence yesterday, she guessed that Sister-in-law Zhao had told her something. Today, she thought it was because she was not told something, so she started talking more.

"When we were in Shili Village, Sister Xu earned a lot of money from selling mushrooms, and she kept her own share. She thought they would buy whatever they wanted, but this child is good, and most of what she bought was needed for the family. "

Jiang Wei held back. If her money hadn't been taken away, she could have helped her family buy things. Unfortunately, she only had one tael of silver and she still wasn't willing to spend it.

Du Mei looked sarcastic and said, "Auntie, you are so generous. You let a child take care of the money without worrying about it being lost. My brother-in-law is already 13 or 14 years old. A few days ago, my mother-in-law found ten pieces of money from his room. Two more silvers..."

She pursed her lips angrily, "I don't know where it came from. It was confiscated by my mother-in-law."

Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Wei looked at each other, lowered their heads, and could not lower the corners of their mouths.

No wonder Jiang Zhou didn't go to his house in the past two days, and he looked dejected when he saw him. It turned out that they were right.
