Chapter 58 Selling
"She is a hard-working, brave, kind-hearted and capable little girl." Gu Jiu didn't want to say more, as long as he knew about Lin Shu's good qualities.
As for telling them about the partner, the main reason is to let the Xu family understand that he already has a partner, and don't always think about bringing him and Xu Ting together. He has no feelings for Xu Ting between men and women.
"Really? Congratulations on your finding a partner. Is your partner still in the county?" Xu's mother smiled and said: "How about you go pick her up and have dinner at my house in the evening. She specially gave her a boxing gift. Come up, I want to show my kindness to the landlord."
"Thank you, she has something to do in the afternoon, so I won't come over. I will make an appointment next time." Gu Jiu refused, although he didn't. I understand Lin Shu completely, but she must not want to trouble others.
Xu's mother's heart kept sinking. She was always protective of her new partner. It seemed that this boy was really caring about that girl.
"In this case, we have to make an appointment next time." Xu's mother chuckled and pushed Xu's father.
Father Xu pushed up his glasses and said, "Since you are in love, treat the girl well. Don't be stubborn in front of the girl. If anything happens, the two of you will discuss it carefully."
Gu Jiu's expression He relaxed a lot and responded with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Xu, I will pay attention to it."
Xu Ming looked at Gu Jiu, who was smiling from his heart, with mixed feelings in his heart, recalling the time when the few of them got along. Throughout the process, it seemed that the two of them never looked at each other.
After coming out of the Xu family, Gu Jiu carried the Xu family's return gift and hurried home in a hurry.
It’s just that Lin Shu, who he was thinking about at the moment, did not rest after he went out, but also went out afterwards.
The Lin family has more than a dozen members, and it is inconvenient not to have a sewing machine at home. Moreover, the sewing machines have neat lines, and the clothes they make are faster and more beautiful than those made by hand.
So, after Lin Shu took advantage of Gu Jiu to go out, she also went out. I just wanted to go to the black market and see if I could exchange supplies for a sewing plane ticket.
Just as she entered the black market, she found Lin Gang and her eldest nephew Lin Dongfa squatting in the corner, with two buckets in front of them. There were many people gathered in front of the booth, and two people were weighing people and collecting money.
Lin Shu was startled and pushed the bicycle into another alley.
It's not that she can't meet people, it's just that she doesn't know how to explain the situation now.
The bicycle can’t be explained, and the other reason is that she hasn’t figured out how to tell her family about Gu Jiu.
Until you think clearly, you can only avoid it temporarily.
“Comrade, what are you carrying in this car? Is it food?”
Suddenly a male voice came from behind, and Lin Shu turned to look at the person. He was a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a medium build, wearing a loose white shirt. He raised the frame and looked at the straps on the back seat of the bicycle. Live in a snakeskin bag.
"Yes, it's rice."
"Can I see how much it costs per pound?"
Lin Shu took out a small handful of rice from his pocket, " High-quality late rice, ordinary rice costs 0.138 yuan per pound at the grain station "High-quality late rice like this costs 0.142 yuan per catty, but I sell it here for 0.29 yuan per catty."
"It's twice as expensive." The middle-aged man looked down at the rice in Lin Shu's palm, "You. How much does this bag weigh?”
"Fifty pounds."
"Okay, I want it. Could you please help me carry this bag of rice to the back seat of my bicycle." The middle-aged man pointed not far away Bicycles parked on the side.
"No problem, this bag of rice totals 14.5 yuan." Lin Shu untied the rice.
The middle-aged man paid the money and tied the rice to the back seat of the bicycle with Lin Shu. "Thank you. If there is still this kind of rice in the future, the little girl can send it to my house. My family has a large population. It consumes more food, and the food we have is simply not enough to eat."
After that, he gave Lin Shu a specific address, said goodbye to Lin Shu, and left on his bicycle.
Lin Shu flicked the banknotes in his hand. The rice sold at the system mall just now was 0.142 yuan per catty, which was the same as the price at the grain station. This purchase and sale made a net profit of 7.1 yuan.
However, there is no clue about sewing tickets yet. There are two uncles and nephews Lin Gang in the black market, so it is impossible for her to enter again.
Lin Shu was riding a bicycle on the street, wondering where to exchange tickets?
While passing by a building, Lin Shu's attention was attracted by the sign of the building. That is a sign with the word "cross", and look at the sign hanging next to it, it is the County People's Hospital.
The bike's faucet turned, and Lin Shu rode through the hospital gate.
Appearing in the inpatient department of the hospital again, Lin Shu was holding a cloth bag in his hand.
Dermatology and Urology on the first floor, Orthopedics on the second floor, and Obstetrics and Gynecology on the third floor.
Lin Shu went to the third floor first.
As soon as we entered the corridor on the third floor, we heard the cries of many newborns. The rhythm of the cries of newborns is basically the same across the country, but some newborns cry loudly, and some cry loudly. Weak and weak, the strength of the newborn's body can be heard from the cry.
Lin Shu walked into a ward with three beds and only two pregnant women, accompanied by family members beside the bed.
The family members of the two mothers thought they were relatives of the other party who came to visit the mother. They just raised their heads and glanced at Lin Shu without speaking.
Lin Shu glanced at the little baby lying next to the mother. It was a small person, soft and with red skin. "Congratulations, is it a son or a daughter?"
The family members don’t know what Lin Shu means. But out of politeness, he still replied: "It's my son."
"Oh, it's a big fat boy. Congratulations, the mother must take good care of herself." Lin Shu was really happy, looking at the newborn The child feels hopeful and makes people feel happy inexplicably.
The family members nodded: "It's time to make up for it."
"Is the brown sugar ready at home? Are the eggs ready?" Lin Shu asked again.
“We have prepared some at home.” The family members looked at the sleeping mother and son, and their voices became much softer.
Lin Shu pulled up a stool and sat next to the family members. "Sister, I have eggs and brown sugar here. Do you want to prepare some for the mother?"
The family members' eyes lit up. , her eyes were fixed on the cloth bag Lin Shu was holding. She had already seen that the bag contained eggs, "Where did you get the eggs, brown sugar? And how do you change them?"
"The eggs are from chickens raised at home, and the brown sugar is from relatives. The eggs are 16 cents each, and the brown sugar is two yuan a pound. Do you want it?"
"His! So expensive?" "The eldest sister of the family stared, "Eggs at the sales department are only 8 cents each, but here they are 16 cents, which is double. And the brown sugar supply and marketing cooperative is only 1.21 pounds, but you are going up to 2 yuan."
"The supply and marketing cooperative wants votes. The few votes issued to the workers that month are not enough to replenish the mother's body. After the mother's body is replenished, the child will have enough milk to eat. Moreover, it can also open branches for your family as soon as possible." "Ye, it's not a problem to have two children in three years."
People in this era believe in having more children and more happiness. The last sentence touched the eldest sister's heart. In the end, she bought twenty eggs and two pounds of brown sugar.
The two of them did not avoid the mother in the next bed.
Finally, the woman in the next bed took all the remaining eggs and brown sugar in her bag.
Fifty eggs were sold for 8 yuan, and five packs of brown sugar were sold for 10 yuan.
Remove the cost of 10 yuan and make a net profit of 8 yuan.
"Comrade, do you have any other good stuff there?"
Lin Shu put the money in his pocket and said with a smile: "I have fabrics here, especially pure cotton ones. Fabrics are great for making clothes for children, as well as rice and flour.”
"How do I change it?"
"I want to change it to a sewing ticket."
The family members of the two mothers looked at each other.
One of the family members said: "Sewing tickets are in short supply, and the prices on the black market are not low."
Good night, my dears~
