Chapter 13 Just mind your own business
After that, I hurriedly took the car to my fourth uncle’s house. I don’t know how many bamboo shoots my fourth aunt broke off from yesterday to today.
Getting out of the car and walking on a small road for half an hour, he came to the door of his fourth uncle's house. Seeing that the door of his fourth uncle's house was open, Hua Xiali walked directly in, only to see his fourth uncle's house. Arranging bamboo shoots in the yard, Hua Xiali was surprised, "Fourth aunt, you have broken off so many bamboo shoots? Are you too awesome?"
The fourth aunt smiled sheepishly, "It's too difficult to peel the bamboo shoot shells, and it's too slow to peel. Can I not peel the bamboo shoot shells?"
Hua Xiali nodded. , "Of course you can. If you don't peel the bamboo shoots, it will cost you one penny per pound. As long as the fourth aunt is willing."
"Then it's one penny per pound!" Fourth Aunt said cheerfully, mainly because peeling the bamboo shoots took up too much time. She could break off several pounds of bamboo shoots after peeling one pound of bamboo shoots.
"Okay, let's go out and break bamboo shoots together now!" Breaking bamboo shoots is something that can make people feel better. By breaking it, you can forget all the unpleasant things.
The fourth aunt also brought a basket for Hua Xiali, and then the two of them went up the mountain to break bamboo shoots. They kept some of the small bamboo forest next to her house and broke the ones farther away first.
"Fourth aunt, don't the villagers know about your breaking of bamboo shoots?" Hua Xiali asked as he came to the bamboo forest on the mountain and broke the bamboo shoots.
The fourth aunt shook her head, "Am I that stupid? I definitely won't tell others about things that I'm not sure I can make money from. If I can make money, I will definitely wait until my family earns enough. Let’s talk about money, and the bamboo shoots grow here and they won’t run away. If you don’t break them yourself, what does it have to do with me?”
"Yes, we are ordinary people. We can't care about other people's affairs. We just need to take care of our own affairs." Hua Xiali agreed with her fourth aunt's point of view.
They had just started breaking bamboo shoots, and they didn’t know if they could make money from bamboo shoots. They told everyone about it at this time. By then, everyone rushed over to break the bamboo shoots and sell them. If they go out and can't make money, will everyone blame them?
Even if they can make money, will everyone be grateful to them?
I'm afraid they won't. Instead, they will feel that they said it too late, and that they have already made a lot of money quietly, so as a human being, just take care of yourself.
Hua Xiali and her fourth aunt broke off bamboo shoots and hurriedly sent them home after filling each basket. They ran back and forth like this until dusk fell, then they took the last basket of bamboo shoots home.
After that, the two of them weighed the bamboo shoots that the fourth aunt had broken off in the past two days. Hua Xiali did not expect that the fourth aunt had broken off more than 600 kilograms of bamboo shoots in the past two days.
Bamboo shoots with shells cost one penny per catty, and more than six hundred catties is more than six yuan. Hua Xiali first gave her fourth aunt six yuan. Her fourth aunt was so happy that she counted the six yuan several times. Unexpectedly, things that no one touches on the mountain can actually be sold for money.
If she could earn more every day, would her income be comparable to those in the city?
After the fourth uncle and fourth aunt fell asleep, Hua Xiali added a little more spiritual spring water to the water tank, and then went to the mountain with a flashlight to break bamboo shoots.
There is a hill not far away from the fourth uncle's house. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Without the fourth aunt around, she broke off the bamboo shoots and put them directly into the spiritual spring space.
After working overtime for two hours, Hua Xiali went back to her fourth uncle's house to rest. The next morning, before she could sleep well, she was woken up by a scream. Hua Xiali quickly got dressed and got up, went to the yard, Worriedly asked, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, what's wrong?"
"The bamboo shoots are gone, my bamboo shoots are gone." The fourth aunt said eagerly. She had already collected the money, but the bamboo shoots were missing. Missing, how can she interact with others?
Hua Xiali laughed and said hurriedly, "Fourth Aunt, don't be nervous. The bamboo shoots are not missing, but the owner of the pig factory came and took them away at night. You were all asleep by that time. , so I didn’t call you.” “Is that so?” Fourth Aunt still couldn’t believe it.
"Fourth Aunt, can I still lie to you?" Hua Xiali spread her hands helplessly, with a look of 'There is nothing I can do if you don't believe me'.
The fourth uncle asked eagerly, "Xia Li, can you really make money from these bamboo shoots?"
"Didn't the fourth aunt get the money yesterday? If the fourth uncle doesn't believe it, you can ask the fourth aunt! "Hua Xiali raised her head proudly and smiled proudly.
The fourth uncle came to Hua Xiali and asked in a low voice, "Xia Li, can I break the bamboo shoots together?"
"Of course!" Hua Xiali Nodding, "But you two can only break up quietly, and you can't tell too many people."
Huo Beixi lent her 1,500 yuan. She gave her eldest sister 800 yuan for tuition and living expenses, leaving 700 yuan left. In addition, she also had to spend money to buy tools, packing boxes, etc., that is to say Her cost of purchasing bamboo shoots can only be controlled to about 500 yuan, which can almost buy 50,000 kilograms of bamboo shoots.
If there are too many people breaking bamboo shoots, she won’t have that much money!
The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt break bamboo shoots together. They can break almost a thousand kilograms in one day. It will take about fifty days to break fifty thousand kilograms of bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots have long grown into bamboo, so they can be broken again. Add two more people.
So Hua Xiali whispered to his fourth uncle again, "Fourth uncle, you can ask one person from each of the second uncle's and third uncle's families to break bamboo shoots with you."
Why not? It's called my uncle's house because my uncle's family bought a house in the town and don't live in the mountains anymore.
And she doesn’t have much money in her hands, so she can’t buy bamboo shoots in large quantities. The most important thing is that she hasn’t started the bamboo shoot business yet. If the sales are not good, she will not be able to make money from bamboo shoots for the time being. For money, you can only store the bamboo shoots in the Lingquan space, and then sell them when the bamboo shoots are valuable.
Everything is still unknown, and she doesn't dare to do too much. If she loses the hundreds of dollars in her hand, she will lose it. She can make up for it in other ways.
After breakfast, the three of them went up the mountain to break bamboo shoots together. Breaking them in the bamboo forest would not be easily seen by the villagers. If they were still seen, just break the bamboo shoots and feed them to the pigs.
People who raise pigs at home will naturally come over and break bamboo shoots without them needing to shout.
During lunch, Hua Xiali said, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, Qiu Li will go home tonight, so I will go back in the afternoon. I will come back in two days and put the bamboo shoots you broke back. Wait for me to come to you at home Money is enough.”
In the second year of junior high school this year, Hua Qiuli had to attend morning reading classes before dawn, and it was already late at night when she had self-study classes. It was too late to stay at home, so she stayed at the school. , only went home on the weekend.
