Chapter 410: It’s still a matter of money

But you don’t even consider how many people there are in our family. You don’t even worry about spoiling it. It will be gone in two days. How can there be anything left?”

"That's right. There are so many people in our family and we never have enough food. How can we have extra money to buy so many vegetables?"

"Why not?"

"That's right, do you really want to eat radishes or cabbages for every meal in winter?

If you don’t have enough to eat, just pretend we didn’t say anything.”

"this?"

"Okay, from tomorrow on, we'll buy more groceries when we go shopping.

The vegetables are not very expensive. If you don’t spend too much, can’t you afford to buy some cheap vegetables by spending an extra two cents every day?

I don’t know what will happen then, but at least when there are no vegetables in winter or spring, everyone can have a change of taste.

Not to mention changing the taste every now and then, ten days or half a month should be fine!

Also, if you don’t have money to buy vegetables, can’t you just go pick wild vegetables?

Don't tell me you can't eat wild vegetables now."

"No, no, Dad, isn't it just wild vegetables?

It’s not like we haven’t eaten it before.”

"That's right, didn't we recall the good times from time to time in the past two years?

We don’t have to eat it every day, but it’s good to eat it once in a while.”

"That's right, but who's going to dig these wild vegetables?"

“Who’s going to dig?

Does this need to be said?

Those who work definitely don't have free time, so aren't those who don't work just sitting at home doing nothing?"

"That's right, don't talk about reviewing or anything like that. If someone had good grades, he would have been admitted to university a long time ago."

"you you……"

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. If you don't want to eat, get out of here.

You really think I can't control you, right? "

On the other side, people were also talking about the Guo family buying two baskets of vegetables.

"So, the Guo family is planning to take advantage of the current low prices of vegetables to buy more and dry them into dried vegetables to eat slowly in the winter?"

"I think that's what it means. Don't forget, there are only a few people in their family, and now is the only time the whole family eats at home.

After school starts, their children are not at home, and the men eat in the cafeteria at noon, so why do they need to buy so many vegetables? "

“True, but it wouldn’t be a problem to dry some more vegetables at this time, right?

After all, in winter, we only eat cabbage and radish, so it’s nice to change the taste.”

"That's true, but the yard is not big to begin with. If we use all the vegetables to dry, we may not be able to dry them."

"That's true, but it doesn't have much to do with us. It's summer now, and as long as the weather is good, the vegetables will be dry in less than two days. Even if the place is not big, it won't affect anything."

"That's absolutely true. In the past, only our family would occasionally expose their clothes to the sun. The other two families never had such plans. I just don't know what the situation will be this year?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"That's right. In fact, it's not that they don't want to, but they think it's not cost-effective to buy so many vegetables now."

“Is there anything wrong with this?

Is it worthwhile to eat only radishes and cabbages in winter?"

"Who knows? I just know that they want to dry the vegetables. They may look like a lot at first, but after drying, there won't be much left. It's better to eat fresh vegetables."

"Tsk, that only means they don't have enough cabbage and radishes to eat. If they did, they would have dried the vegetables long ago."

"How could they not have enough to eat? I would say they are unwilling to spend even a penny more.

If they spend one more cent, are they still them?"

"this?"

"Besides, don't forget that in our yard, only our family has the most workers. Except for the Guo family, how much money do you think the other two families can save?"

"Yeah, think about it carefully. With so many mouths to feed and only a few people working, you have to be very careful with your budget."

"It's all right to know. You can say this at home, but you can't say it outside our house."

"I know. Everyone knows how much these two families care about their reputation."

"Isn't it just a matter of dying for the sake of face?

If I didn't care so much about face, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Yes."

However, the other family's focus was not on the fact that the Guo family bought an extra basket of vegetables, but rather on what they were saying.

"What do you think the Guo family is doing going out with a basket before dawn?

And I also vaguely saw that the brother and sister covered the basket with something!"

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

“Didn’t I say this already?

It was still dark at that time, and I could only see a little bit vaguely, so I had no way of confirming it, right?

"Since you haven't seen it clearly, don't make blind guesses here."

"But……"

"Okay, why are you talking so much about something that has nothing to do?

Besides, what’s the use even if you really discovered something?

This is not the same as two years ago. The Revolutionary Committee has long been dissolved. What do you think is the point of nitpicking on the other party's mistakes?"

"Yes, but I am just curious, right?"

“If curiosity had any use, everyone would be curious.

But you have to understand that curiosity can easily kill you, are you okay?"

"this?"

"Have you forgotten, that year..."

“That year?

This?

Forget it, I'd better not be curious anymore."

"That's it. If you really have nothing to do, you might as well learn from the Guo family and buy more vegetables every day. We can also dry some vegetables. It doesn't matter how much, at least it can change the taste in winter."

"You think I don't want to?

Is this the money? "

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"Oh!"

The other three families were not clear about what they had said at home.

You know, at about four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, several other families in the yard saw the Guo siblings taking out the blanched vegetables to dry in the sun.

You don't need to ask to know that they plan to take advantage of this time to dry the vegetables.

In theory, this dried vegetable is not as delicious as the fresh one.

But in winter, there is really nothing else to eat.

If you don’t want to eat radishes and cabbages every meal, you can only eat dried vegetables or pickled side dishes, otherwise there is really no other choice.

It was because of this that in the following period of time, I saw several other families in the yard also started to busy themselves with drying vegetables for the winter.

It’s just that there are more and less, and no one asked each other. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you ask or not.

At the same time, because everyone was busy with their own affairs, no one paid attention to the situation of the Guo family for a while.

As time passed, the Guo family's business of selling pancakes at the train station was coming to an end.

It is really time for the children to go back to school. It is impossible to order them to go out and sell pancakes early every day after school starts.

But it's a pity to give up the customers I have accumulated from selling pancakes.
