Chapter 246 Aunt Chen
The cause of the incident is still the fault of an aunt. The aunt’s surname is Chen. She is not as unreasonable as many aunts. On the contrary, the aunt is very reasonable and believes in the cycle of cause and effect, so the aunt Do good deeds often.
When shopping for vegetables, I often buy home-grown ones, so I often hang out outside the market.
On this day, Aunt Chen came to the vegetable market early in the morning and saw an agricultural tricycle outside the vegetable market. It was a farmer who was selling potatoes with a little girl.
Seeing Aunt Chen coming over, the little girl said something in her father's ear. When Aunt Chen came over, the little girl ran into the market and didn't know what she was doing.
"Auntie, buy some potatoes, fresh ones, fresh from the fields, and cheap."
Aunt Chen looked at the potatoes in the car. There was still mud on them, not the kind of mud that had dried. At first glance, it looks like it was just dug out of the ground, very fresh.
After hesitating, Aunt Chen still had some potatoes at home. She had bought nearly a hundred kilograms of them before. After eating them, her family members kept shouting, "Stop cooking potatoes. They will produce starch when you sweat."
So Aunt Chen had no intention of asking for it. She casually asked the price and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen was stunned by the price the man said. She turned to look at the strong man selling potatoes in disbelief.
"Auntie, I'll give you fifty cents a pound. They're all fresh. Do you think that's okay?"
"Young man, you didn't set the wrong price?" With the current prices, how can there be potatoes for a few cents? , it’s still fresh, and it’s more than two yuan inside the market. Even outside the market, if there is no stall fee, it’s still more than one yuan. How can it be so low?
“Young man, have you just come here to set up a stall? The price you set is wrong.”
“Inside the market, everything is more than two yuan, and outside it is almost two yuan. This is too cheap. It’s very hard to bring them all the way here with the children. If you sell it like this, you will lose money."
After hearing what the aunt said, the strong man smiled honestly: "Aunt, I I know the prices here. The main reason is that I am in a hurry and want to leave early, so I sell them at a low price. Buy some, these potatoes will last for a long time."
Only then did Aunt Chen realize that she had to leave for something and had deliberately sold it so cheaply. She thought about it for a moment.
"Just do this. You weigh me ten pounds. It doesn't have to be so cheap. Auntie is rich, so she can weigh one pound per pound."
As she spoke, the aunt took out ten dollars. He handed it to the strong man, who weighed more than ten kilograms of potatoes and gave the aunt five yuan.
The two struggled for a long time, but Aunt Chen couldn't handle the strong man, so she accepted the five yuan change, turned around and left with the potatoes.
Everyone around her knows Aunt Chen and greets each other. It is different from many modern buildings. She often doesn’t even know who her neighbors are after living there for two years.
"Hey, Aunt Chen, let's buy groceries." This is a junior.
"Sister Chen, the potatoes you bought are pretty good" This is from a lifetime.
Then Aunt Chen thought, wasn’t that strong man in a hurry and wanted to sell it as soon as possible.
"Oh, let me tell you, the potatoes I just bought are very fresh, and they only cost 50 cents a pound. They are at the tricycle at the entrance of the market."
My neighbors all live here. , I often go to the vegetable market, how could I not know the price of potatoes?
When they saw the potatoes that Aunt Chen bought, they were really big, fresh, and cheap, so they all went to the tricycle to buy them.
When they went to buy it, the price the strong man gave was one yuan and a half, which was completely different from what Aunt Chen said.
This group of people were so noisy that they treated each other differently. Aunt Chen bought it for 50 cents, and they bought it for 1.5 yuan, so they didn't want to, and kept making noises until Liu Jun and the others came out.
Liu Jun saw that his eldest brother was silent, and then saw that his eldest brother had a daughter. The little girl behind him seemed to want to say something.
"Stop arguing. There is a hammer to fight with. Brother, you should tell me. There must be some reason. If I don't always surround you like this, you won't be able to do business anymore." "Yeah, give us a reason"
Looking at his face, this eldest brother is a simple and sincere person. He will definitely not come here for no reason, so Liu Jun wanted to ask.
The big brother selling potatoes looked at more and more people around him, with a helpless expression: "Actually, I gave the aunt just now a discount, not because of anything else, but because the aunt helped me."
It turns out that this is not the first time that my eldest brother has come to this market. In February and March, when the weather was quite cold and there were light snowflakes, my eldest brother took his wife and children to sell potatoes here once.
I planned to sell out and go home early, but it was too cold and it was still snowing. Who would be willing to go out to buy groceries? Therefore, not many potatoes were sold, with nearly a hundred kilograms left.
At this time, the eldest brother's wife suddenly had a stomachache that was so painful that she was sweating. She was squatting on the ground and unable to get up.
The eldest brother had no choice but to let the child watch the car first while he held his wife and took a taxi to the hospital.
When I left, I also told my children that if someone is willing to buy them all, just give them cheaper and collect the cost.
He took his wife to the hospital. The child was watching the stall by herself. Just in time, Aunt Chen’s house was out of food. She went out to buy vegetables with a basket and saw the little girl guarding the stall by herself. , it’s so pitiful, just ask the little girl.
"Baby, where are the adults in your family? Why do you let yourself sell vegetables here? You are so heartless. In such a cold day, your little face is turning red from the cold."
"My mother was sick, and my father was worried, so he sent my mother to the hospital. I'm here watching the stall."
Aunt Chen then realized that it was not that the little girl's family was cruel, but that there was indeed an emergency.
"Baby, how much do these potatoes cost?" Aunt Chen originally planned to buy some and take them home.
"Grandma, my dad said that if someone comes to buy it, it can be cheaper. Do you think 80 cents per catty is okay? Buy more so that I can sell out early. When my parents come back, I can go back directly. Home, it’s too cold here.”
Eight cents a pound, which is really not expensive. It’s freezing cold, and the dishes are very expensive. This price is two-thirds cheaper than others. Looking at the little girl's little face that was red from the cold, Aunt Chen felt sad and said, "Baby, wait here for grandma. Grandma will go back and get a car. Don't run around."
Aunt Chen returned home, called her son, pushed the car into the car, thought for a while, then went to the kitchen to get a pack of hot milk and eggs, put them in plastic bags, and then went downstairs.
Going back to the little girl, I bought nearly a hundred kilograms of potatoes. I gave her a hundred yuan directly and didn’t let the little girl change. I stuffed the little girl with hot milk and eggs. girl.
"Lao Wang, Lao Wang" Aunt Chen said to the pavilion next to her. The pavilion was a security pavilion in the vegetable market. There was an uncle inside. The main reason was that there was a stove in the pavilion for heating.
"What's up, Sister Chen?" Lao Wang stuck his head out.
"This little girl, let her stay in your pavilion for a while. Her mother is sick and her father has been sent to the hospital. It is too cold here and she is prone to meet bad people"
< br>
"Well, Sister Chen, you are still so kind-hearted." Lao Wang responded and walked out of the security booth.
Aunt Chen knelt down and helped the little girl tighten her clothes. "Baby, this grandpa is the security guard here. You can stay in his pavilion for a while. It's warm there and you can still see the tricycle. Then you can My parents won’t be able to find you.”
“Thank you, grandma.” The little girl bowed deeply and followed Lao Wang to the security booth to warm up.
On the way back, Aunt Chen’s son complained to Aunt Chen: “Mom, I’m not talking about you. You said you always think about others and do good deeds. Why don’t you think about yourself? Look, You bought another hundreds of kilograms of potatoes, and we have to eat them for as long as we can. They say good people are rewarded. Look at Aunt Yu, you have done good deeds all your life, isn’t that what happened?”
“Shut up, Is this what you, a junior, can say about Lao Yu? Besides, what are you complaining about? I didn’t spend your money. I did a good deed and you still care about me. If I hadn’t done a good deed back then, would you have grown up like this? Let me tell you, I do good things for my own comfort, without asking for anything in return."
Aunt Chen's son saw that he had made his mother angry, so he muttered and did not dare to say anything more.
When the potato seller came back with his wife, he looked at the empty tricycle and his child was gone, and he immediately panicked.
