Rebirth breaks you straight

They also harvested a lot this morning. They dug several big bamboo shoots, plus the other small ones, and there were always twenty or thirty. Although it was a little less than Chen Zan expected, for the three children, This is already a good result.

They went home with their loot.After lunch, Chen Zan was going to ask Chat to continue digging bamboo shoots up the mountain.When I ran to his house, I found him lying on the bed with all his clothes on, sleeping soundly, even snoring.This is really unprecedented for chatter who has never had a nap in winter.

Chen Zan was worried that he was ill, so he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, it was cool, and he didn't have a fever, so he felt relieved, pulled the quilt for him, and covered him up.Yu Bilian came into the room and was about to speak when Chen Zan stopped her with a "shh".

Yu Bilian came over, lowered her voice and asked, "Why is Xiaotian on the bed, is he sick?" Then she reached out to touch his forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Chen Zan said: "Auntie, Tanzi is tired from digging bamboo shoots on the mountain today, let him sleep for a while."

Yu Bilian tucked the quilt for her son, walked out of the back room, and said with some complaints: "Usually let him do some work and push back and forth, why is it so hard to dig bamboo shoots?"

Chen Zan smiled shyly. In the end, it is more attractive to make money. No one is willing to do work without being paid. "Auntie, we are digging bamboo shoots and selling them for money."

Yu Bilian knew about her son making money with Chen Zan, and said "oh", "Then be careful, don't hurt yourself."

"I know." Chen Zan replied honestly.

Chen Zan returned to his home, and his sister Chen Qiao came back with luggage and books on a bicycle. The middle school holiday was later than the elementary school.Chen Zan ran up to help his sister and packed things together.

"Sister, you will be in the third year of junior high school next year." Chen Zan chatted with his sister.

Chen Qiao nodded: "Yes. I still have to play this winter vacation, and I will start making up lessons during the summer vacation."

"Sister, what school are you going to take?" Chen Zan asked.

Chen Qiao paused for a moment: "My parents told me to take the technical secondary school entrance examination, but I want to enter the high school entrance examination."

Chen Zan said: "I also think it's better for my sister to go to high school, and she can go to college in the future."

Chen Qiao smiled: "University is not so easy to take the exam." This is the truth. The admission rate of universities in the early 90s cannot be compared with that after the expansion of enrollment. It is about [-] to [-]%. It is really a thousand troops. Horses squeeze the single-plank bridge, and the college students at this time are the real pride of heaven.

"My sister's grades are very good, she will definitely be admitted to university." Chen Zan said confidently.

Chen Qiao smiled bitterly: "My family has no money for me to go to high school, and you will also go to high school in the future. If I go to a technical secondary school, I don't need to be burdened by my family."

Chen Zan shook his head: "No, sister, don't think so, it won't cost much. Besides, I can make money myself."

Chen Qiao only thought of him as a kid joking around, how much money he could make, and didn't care.

Chen Zan said: "Sister, I know you want to go to high school and take the university entrance exam. Don't let yourself have any regrets. Parents will make money, so don't worry. Sister, come on!"

Chen Qiao felt a little bit bitter in her heart, stopped answering the conversation, turned her head and saw the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket under the corridor: "Are you digging the bamboo shoots?"

"Well, I want to dig bamboo shoots and sell them for money." Chen Zan said.

"Did you dig it yourself?"

"Well, I dug it together with the jar." Chen Zan said, touching the blister on the palm of his hand.

Chen Qiao took Chen Zan's hand, saw two big blisters, and said distressedly: "Brother, why are there blisters, does it hurt?"

Chen Zan shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." Of course it's a lie to say it doesn't hurt, but it's true that it doesn't hurt much.

Chen Qiao left the things behind, went back to the room and took a needle, carefully opened the blister for Chen Zan, and squeezed out the water: "Okay, wait for two days and it will be fine."

"Thank you, sister." Chen Zan rubbed his hands, and the blisters burst, and it really got better.

He separated the bamboo shoots he dug in the morning, sold the big ones, and kept the small ones for himself to eat.

Chen Qiao packed up everything, went to eat, turned her head and saw Chen Zan who was packing the bamboo shoots, and said, "Brother, I'll go with you this afternoon and dig for you."

Chen Zan laughed: "Thank you sister."

Chen Zan turned on the radio, listened to the radio, and wrote his homework for the winter vacation. When he fell asleep after chatting, it was already past two o'clock.

Tan Tian came out of his home: "Xiao Zan, let's go, and go to the mountain."

Chen Zan put away his homework and carried the bamboo basket, while Chen Qiao came out with the hoe on his back.Tan Tian was surprised and said, "Sister Qiao is going too?"

Chen Zan nodded: "My sister is going to help us dig. Yangyang, why don't you bring a basket from your house, so as not to overwhelm it."

"Oh, good." Tan Yang hurried home to fetch the basket.

With the help of Chen Qiao in the afternoon, the speed was much faster and the effect was very good. I dug up two large baskets of winter bamboo shoots.Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Qiao said, "Let's go, I won't dig anymore. I'll go to the street tomorrow to see how the effect is. If it sells well, then dig more. Dig less."

This is what Chen Zan is most worried about. After all, Qifeng Town is still a small town. It has not yet been fully urbanized, and its consumption capacity is limited. He is worried that the bamboo shoots will not be sold well or will not be sold.Then the income of winter bamboo shoots will be gone.

Early the next morning, Chen Qiao helped to tie the bamboo basket to the back seat of the car.Let Chen Zan sit on the bicycle bar, and drove Chen Zan to the town.Because the bamboo shoots weigh at least [-] to [-] catties, it is unlikely that Chen Zan and Chat Tian would be able to carry them. Chen Qiao volunteered to be a porter, but Chat Tian couldn't go there, so Chen Zan could only sell them alone.

For this reason, chatting with the boss is not willing.It's not that he can't trust Chen Zan, but he also wants to know whether the bamboo shoots are good for sale.

Chen Zan and his sister came to the town in the thin morning light, and found a place to put the basket down.Before the first guest arrives, the chat arrives.

Chen Zan couldn't laugh or cry, he came to chat so early, he must have gone out before himself.They met a lot of people walking and rushing the street, but they didn't expect chatting among them.And chatting was afraid that they would be worried, he must have seen the siblings walking past him, and did not call them out.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?" Chen Zan felt a little guilty and uneasy, but also a little happy.After Chen Qiao dropped him off, she returned home. His parents had recently started transplanting tea trees, so Chen Qiao had to go back to help with housework.

Chatting's face suddenly changed: "Are you not happy about my coming? Then I'll go back."

Chen Zan hurriedly stopped him: "It's already here, why go back, come here, help me." He lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "I'm not unhappy. You walked here alone?"

He chatted without answering, and turned his head to look at the surrounding crowd uncomfortably.Seeing his uncomfortable look, Chen Zan snickered a bit, didn't ask any more questions, but said, "It's just in time for you to come, look at the bamboo shoots, I'll go to the market for a while."

Chen Zan went to investigate the market again, feeling a bit chilled after seeing it. There are several shops that buy bamboo shoots. He inquired about the prices, and they ranged from three to fifty cents.He slumped his shoulders a little discouraged, wondering if he could sell all of them today.

Just turning around to leave, I heard a man talking loudly to an acquaintance: "Luo Dad, there are more bamboo shoots for sale today than last time. It seems that they are not easy to sell."

The old man named Luo Dae replied: "Yes, it was sold out with great difficulty last time, and it was sold at the last two cents a catty. It is not easy to sell in the town, but I heard that it is easier to sell in the county, and it can be sold at the cheapest price." Forty cents a catty, but it’s a bit far away, and the fare is not worth it.” From the town to the county seat, the fare is one yuan and five dollars.

Chen Zan's heart moved. It takes about an hour to ride a bicycle from their place to the county seat. If it is really easier to sell in the county seat, then he will go to the county seat to sell it.But in this case, you can only sell it by yourself.

Chen Zan returned to the side of the booth, Tan Tian was squatting quietly behind the basket, watching him come back, his eyes lit up, as if a puppy saw its owner. "Xiao Zan, how are you doing?"

Chen Zan shook his head: "There are more people selling it. If we can't sell it today, let's go to the county town to sell it tomorrow. The county town rushes to the streets every day."

Chatting with bright eyes: "Okay, I've been to the county seat, let's go together."

Chen Zan said worriedly: "The fare is too expensive. I'll ask my sister to take me there tomorrow. I really can't take you this time."

Chat's eyes dimmed: "Oh." He began to squat on the ground and draw circles.

The sky is getting brighter, and there are more people who get up early to buy vegetables. Sure enough, as Chen Zan expected, there are fewer people who buy them. Go back one o'clock.

This time, Chen Zan didn't see Mr. Jiang from No. [-] Middle School. Chen Zan was a little disappointed. He didn't want Mr. Jiang to help promote the business, but he hoped to see him and say hello to show that the old man was in good health.

The two stayed until the vegetable market was about to close, but the bamboo shoots were not sold out, and there were still about half of them left.Both Chen Zan and Tan Tian were in a low mood. This was the first time they had a bad start, and it was really difficult to make money.

The price of the bamboo shoots was not high, for four cents or thirty cents, and for a dozen catties of bamboo shoots, they were only sold for five or sixty cents, and in the end they had to go back with half a basket of bamboo shoots.

The two of them carried one side of the basket, walked back dejectedly, and even forgot to eat breakfast.Until the cooing sound reached his ears, Chen Zan came back to his senses, took a look, and found the source of the sound, it turned out to be chatting stomach rumbling.He just remembered that neither of them had breakfast.

Chen Zan chatted: "Let's go, go back after breakfast."

Chatting was a bit reluctant to spend money: "Let's go back and eat, it won't be long."

Chen Zan looked at the sky, it was at least ninety o'clock, he hadn't had breakfast yet, and when he came home hungry, it was time for lunch.Without any explanation, he dragged Tan Tian into the rice noodle shop: "Boss, two bowls of rice noodles."

At this time, there were only a few people in the noodle shop, there were only two customers eating in the shop, and the owner was leaning against the stove to warm up.When they saw them coming, they quickly heated up the powder: "Sit down for a while, it will be ready soon."

After a while, the steaming rice noodles were served.Chen Zan drew a pair of chopsticks: "The sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the biggest thing. Eat, you can't be hungry."

No more hesitation in chatting, took out the chopsticks, buried them in the bowl, and started to eat.Chen Zan heard the movement of him eating, looked up, then lowered his head to eat his own, who cares, even a countryman, it doesn't matter if there is a lot of noise.
