Chapter 12 Finally got his own private money
Finally, he weighed all the remaining cherries to Zhou Lan, totaling sixteen catties. Zhou Lan gave a big note at six yuan per catty, and Zhang Ann got back four dollars in change.
With excitement, I put this big bill into my pocket. Although there were more than a hundred dollars in my pocket, they were all scattered and not as visually impactful as this one. .
It’s not like I’ve never seen money in my previous life, but it’s just that money is so valuable now. The money you get from selling cherries today can be said to be a month’s salary for most people.
"By the way, Xiao An, do you have time to deliver it in the past two days? Some of our relatives are going back the day after tomorrow, and they want to take some back. If the distance is far, we can drive there to get it."
Zhou Lan accompanied Zhang An to the entrance of the hospital and got Zhang An a bottle of soda.
Zhang An had met all their relatives just now. They were all polite people, and the children also greeted Zhang An politely.
He kept telling Zhang An why these cherries are so delicious.
The children in the city are still less naughty and more temperamental than the children in the village, but there is no way, they are all cultivated by money.
But the physical fitness of children in the countryside is much better than that of children in the city.
"It's okay, Sister Lan. I'll pick it and send it over tomorrow, so you don't have to bother."
With a huge sum of money in his pocket, Zhang An returned home happily.
I happened to meet the second grandma’s house for lunch. When she saw Zhang An coming back, the second grandma came to call Zhang An for dinner.
Zhang An was not polite. His parents went to help. After he finished his meal, he would also help in the afternoon.
Tile-tiled houses in rural areas are often exposed to the sun and wind. Over time, the tiles will loosen, shift or break, and water will leak in some places. Therefore, once many people find that water starts to drip from somewhere, they must Start finding time to pick up tiles.
Continue to use the good tiles, and replace the broken ones directly.
Some people's old houses are too old, and the rafters on the roof need to be replaced.
There is no mention of finding an engineering team. They just find a few people who have good relations with the family and find a day to change them.
In the morning, the adults had already nailed the rafter heads on the beam.
In the afternoon it was time to build tiles. Zhang An had never built tiles before and did not have this skill.
And there were enough people standing on the roof, so he didn't go up there, mainly because he was worried that the tiles he built would leak.
Just pass the tiles to the people above.
The work goes faster when there are more people. Five or six people built a three-bay tile-roofed house in one afternoon.
The villagers help each other without asking for money.
Only when you have helped others, others will come when you have trouble.
There are also some people who don’t usually help, but when something happens to their own family, they shamelessly come to your door.
Many people said they had something to do and refused, while some couldn't bear to do it, so they had no choice but to agree.
After dinner in the evening, the men had to drink and brag at the same time.
Zhang An doesn't drink much, so he followed Wang Fang home after dinner.
Zhang An gave the two pigs in the pigsty bales of straw and poured some spring water into the sink. Then he went back to find Wang Fang.
He took out the money from his pocket and handed it to his mother.
After counting, Wang Fang found that there were more than two hundred yuan, which was enough for the family to cut lard for a whole year.
“Why are there so many, they are all sold out.”
“Because no one is selling them now, and it is indeed delicious. I met a rich lady and bought most of it. ." As he spoke, Zhang An told Wang Fang what happened on the street, omitting the fight, because he was afraid that Wang Fang would be worried.
After Wang Fang straightened out the money, she handed it to her son.
As my children get older, sometimes I have to bring some money with me when I go out. I can’t be naked like before.
This is what I told my man before. I originally wanted to give it to him, but I didn’t expect that he would earn the money back by himself.
What is Zhang An thinking about during this time? Isn't he just trying to make some private money?
But I didn’t expect that my mother would give so much money to herself.
But he only took one hundred, and let his mother keep the rest. Food and supplies at home cost money, and he couldn't use much here.
And if I go to town tomorrow to deliver another basket of fruits to Zhou Lan, I should be able to earn one or two hundred yuan.
In fact, the cherries in the space are still very big. After picking a few trees, they should still weigh one or two hundred pounds, and they will continue to bear fruit after picking.
But these things cannot be cashed out directly. Without a good reason, it can easily attract others’ attention.
In the evening, Zhang An found an excuse to go to a classmate's house tomorrow and prepared for his trip the next day.
Before going to bed, I picked another basket of cherries, more than what I sold today. Zhou Lan said he would take as much as he wanted, so he would not lie to himself, and fruits of this quality would be great for giving as gifts, but they lacked some packaging.
Even if Zhou Lan doesn’t finish it, she can put it back in the space and eat it by herself.
In addition, I prepared about ten kilograms of peaches, but there were only a dozen, each one as big as the mouth of a bowl.
The next morning, Zhang An slept a little longer. He was not in such a hurry today.
I went out in the morning to find an excuse, and came back with a bunch of pig rations. I ate lunch before going out.
Along the way, I noticed a lot more excavators. I found them yesterday, but not this many.
I don’t know what they are here to dig, it would be nice if they built roads.
In the town, Zhang An went straight to Zhou Lan's house carrying the fruit.
Zhou Lan has a pretty good impression of Zhang An. Zhang An is about 1.8 meters tall and has a sunny and energetic appearance, especially after being nourished by space and having decades of experience in dealing with people in his previous life.
I feel like a very peaceful and down-to-earth person.
"Sister Lan, are you at home? I'm Zhang An."
He shouted in front of the courtyard door and waited until someone inside responded before Zhang An walked in.
Three children ran out first, one was Zhou Lan's son, and the other two were the children of their relatives.
"Xiao An is here. I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow."
Zhou Lan poured a glass of water for Zhang An and asked him to find a place to sit.
"It's not that I'm busy at home now. If I don't have anything to do, I'll send it here first, just to avoid wasting time."
While talking, I weighed the basket. After excluding the basket, it weighed forty-six kilograms, which was heavier than yesterday. About ten pounds more.
Anyway, Zhou Lan's relatives will go back tomorrow. Since most of the cherries in the space are pulp, they don't have as much juice as ordinary cherries, so there is no problem in leaving them for two or three days.
And Zhou Lan’s house also has refrigerators. The most outrageous thing is that there are two refrigerators.
Finally, Zhang An took out the prepared peaches and gave them to Zhou Lan to try.
"Sister Lan, give it a try. If you're not satisfied, we won't talk about Tao'er. If you think it tastes good, let's talk about it."
As the saying goes, good-looking doesn't necessarily mean good tasting. It doesn’t necessarily look good either.
But fruits, sometimes the good-looking appearance can arouse people's desire to buy.
Zhou Lan was a little surprised when she looked at the bowl-sized peaches. It seemed that what Zhang An said was not an exaggeration.
I cut a peach and gave a peach to each of the children. I also ate a peach.
This peach is not only rich in fragrance, but also delicious and full of water. It is much better than what you buy on the street today.
"Mom, the peaches brought by Uncle Xiao An are delicious." Seeing my precious son eating, his mouth was full of water, and his nephews were all the same.
Zhou Lan’s son is called Li Yao. He is a four or five-year-old boy who looks quite lovable.
"It's delicious. If you guys are obedient and eat well, mom and uncle Xiao An will buy some more and save them for you to eat."
"Okay, I will take care of myself. For food. "
These children are so cute when they are obedient. Although Zhou Lan said they are annoying when they are disobedient, Zhang An thinks other people's children are cute.
"Xiao An, do you have many peaches? How much is a pound?"
"Sister Lan, I didn't plant many peaches, just one or two trees, so there aren't many. I didn’t make a living from this, I just wanted to exchange money to support my family. The peaches outside cost one yuan per catty, so just give me two yuan.”
These peaches are very cheap at two yuan per catty. Now, Zhou Lan remembers that the peaches her husband bought before cost seven or eight yuan for a pound or more.
I immediately bought ten pounds of peaches brought by Zhang An.
When the final check came, it was 276 yuan for forty-six kilograms of cherries, and a total of 296 yuan including peaches. Zhou Lan gave three large bills and did not let Zhang An change.
But how could Zhang An be greedy for such a small advantage? One is one, two is two, whatever it is should be.
Finally, I found four yuan and gave it to Zhou Lan's children.
In this way, Zhou Lan has a better impression of Zhang An.
When Zhang An left, Zhou Lan brought several boxes of candies and cakes to Zhang An.
Zhang An saw that it was not cheap and thought about rejecting it, but in the end he could not match Zhou Lan's enthusiasm and accepted it. He also planned to bring some to Li Yao when he came to town in the future. thing.
