Urged by Xiaoqi's grandmother Li Fengjiao every day, Su Youfu and his wife had no choice but to go to the city together to sell bamboo baskets today.
Even so, Li Fengjiao still had something to say. She felt that the eldest brother could go alone to sell bamboo baskets, and it was unnecessary for his wife to go with him. It would be a waste of transportation money, and they would have to eat outside, which was another waste of money.
Sheng Juanhua knew her mother-in-law's temper. No matter what you did, she would have something to say and would talk non-stop, so she didn't care.
She felt sorry for her husband who had poor legs and feet and had to carry a large load of things, so she paid a little more money and asked the driver Dayong to take them directly into the city. It was early in the morning and even cars with foreign license plates could enter the city.
This is how it has been done every time. It saves a lot of trouble and is much faster. Otherwise, it would take Su Youfu more than an hour to carry the bamboo basket over there.
We sold bamboo baskets today. Because my mother-in-law kept urging us to make them, the couple didn't make many. Now the price of bamboo baskets has gone up, several times more than that of winnowing baskets, but it is also more difficult to make. We used to be able to make several pairs of winnowing baskets a day, but bamboo baskets have high requirements, whether it is workmanship or bamboo. Su Youfu is very honest and doesn't want to fool people. Because the price is high, he works more seriously. Occasionally, one or two broken ones are used by his family and he doesn't sell them.
So even though the unit price was high, I didn’t get much money.
But it's much better than before, there are more than 700 yuan. The couple planned that every time they earned money, they would save the whole number like 500 or 1,000 yuan in the bank.
More than 700, I can save 500.
Originally, the two of them planned to pool together a thousand dollars and save it, but the mother-in-law kept nagging about the eldest uncle's birthday every day. If she didn't give some money, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Boss Huang has a comfortable life. He just needs to sit in the store and receive and sell goods." Sheng Juanhua sighed after coming out of the store.
Boss Huang is also a woman, and her appearance is also ordinary, but she looks comfortable. She has already brewed tea early in the morning, and she opens the shop while drinking hot tea comfortably, which gives people a comfortable feeling.
Su Youfu also said with a longing look: "Of course not, they have a store, but the rent for this store is very high, we can't get it, and there are also transfer fees and so on."
"If we also have a shop, let me see you make bamboo baskets and some small items. Do you think anyone will buy them? I see Boss Huang here. She will buy whatever you make. Every time you come, the things you sold last time are gone. It seems that they are selling well."
"Maybe someone will buy it, but they may be regular customers." Su Youfu didn't say much about this topic, but he felt a little touched in his heart.
These few times, the child's mother came with her to sell bamboo baskets, and she helped carry them because she couldn't bear to see him suffer from his weak legs and feet. But on this street, every woman was dressed brightly, carrying a small bag and strolling in small leather shoes.
Only the child's mother helped her carry the heavy load.
After all, he was useless.
In Su Youfu's eyes, Sheng Juanhua was much prettier than the women on the street.
The two of them went to the bank together and went to the counter to deposit money. Su Youfu was familiar with the place, so he went in to get his ticket and queued up.
Then it was his turn. The couple went to the window together. Su Youfu sat down, stuffed five hundred yuan and the passbook in, and said innocently, "Save money, five hundred yuan."
The tellers are all familiar with this old man who often comes to deposit money.
The main reason is that people nowadays save very little money, and if they do, they save large amounts. With such a small amount, mobile phone transfers are very convenient, so there is no need to go to the bank to deposit it.
Moreover, when Su Youfu came for the first time, he didn't know anything and had to ask the bank staff to teach him again. He also had an obvious characteristic: he had a limp. He always came to this bank to deposit money, so the tellers all knew him. They heard that he was depositing money for his daughter who was in college.
I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, because I heard the old man proudly say that his daughter was attending university in Enhua. These bank tellers are at least college graduates. I always feel that the old man's daughter is an ungrateful person. The old father is physically disabled, and it must not be easy for him to make money. Every time he comes, he brings a shoulder pole, sacks, etc. I can imagine the scene of the old farmer working hard to pick something grown at home to sell.
It's so hard, but my daughter actually goes to a private university. Enhua's tuition is so expensive. One year's tuition is enough for four years of study in an ordinary university. This is not studying in a university, it's basically sucking the blood of parents.
Today, the teller girl still deposited money as usual, but I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
But when she swiped the passbook handed to her by the old man, she was stunned. She thought she had done something wrong, so she swiped it again, opened it and looked at the number on it, counted it twice, and found that there were actually seven digits in the passbook, just over one million.
She thought the bank machine had made a mistake, but it was impossible for the machine to make a mistake.
She also called her team leader over.
The team leader was also aware of this old man with a very distinctive physical disability, and he thought something had happened, which was why the teller girl was making such a fuss.
The team leader came over, glanced at the passbook slowly, and then was also stunned.
But she is obviously much more experienced.
He didn't show any weird attitude.
Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua, who were sitting outside the window, were both made very nervous by the teller girl.
"What's the matter, comrade? Is the passbook broken?" Su Youfu asked.
"The passbook can't be broken, right? It's not newly opened. Is there something wrong with the money in it? Is there less? It's normal to have a little less. It's my daughter's money." Sheng Juanhua added.
If the total amount is tens of thousands of yuan and there is a shortfall, the teller won't care. Who will care about your family affairs?
However, judging from the old man's appearance and the whole story, it is obvious that he cannot have that much money.
The teller team leader said, "It's not less, it's a lot more. Big brother, did your daughter tell you what happened recently?"
With a serious and responsible attitude, she still asked a question. Although the amount of money of the customers was none of their business, sometimes when they really encountered old men and women who insisted on transferring money and were deceived, they would still kindly help to stop them.
Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua looked at each other, and it was Su Youfu who spoke up: "Yes, my daughter participated in a competition and was on TV. She said she would deposit a large prize money into her passbook. Has the money arrived yet?"
The teller breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
But she still felt puzzled, so she handed the passbook to the old man.
Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua leaned over to take a look. At first glance, they were indeed dazzled by the zeros on it. They didn't react at first, and after a while they counted on their fingers. It was one million.
Although Su Youfu's legs were shaking while he was counting, and he even felt his lame leg was sore and numb, he still remembered that the teller in front of him was still talking to him.
"Yes, it's this much. My daughter said she broke some marathon record. It's a prize. If you've watched the TV station in Meng City, you'll see my daughter on it. Comrade, have I saved the money?"
The teller looked at the five hundred yuan next to him and was so surprised that he had forgotten about it.
Looking at the team leader he called over, he hurriedly deposited the money according to the procedure and passed the money through the printing machine first.
The team leader here apologized politely, "I'm sorry, this girl of ours has just been promoted from an intern to a full-time employee. She's not very experienced in the business. I'm sorry to have caused you worry. I'll save it soon."
Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua both shook their heads to indicate that everything was fine.
They both have shadows over banks, foundations and so on. They think the other party is the boss and are not used to being spoken to so kindly.
After saving 500 yuan, the two of them got the passbook and felt a little dizzy when looking at the money on it.
Instead of going out immediately, he sat on a chair inside the bank.
Su Youfu asked Sheng Juanhua to pinch him, and Sheng Juanhua pinched him.
Su Youfu cried out, covered his mouth again, and then whispered, "I've never seen so much money before. I don't know how long it will take to take it out and count it."
"Where can we take it out? If we take it out, we won't be afraid of someone taking it away. It's safer to put it in the bank." The two of them murmured for a while, but they still couldn't figure out what to do with the money. They had never thought about it at all. In the end, they all agreed that they couldn't touch the money and should keep it. It was earned by their daughter. They had no worries about food and drink, and they didn't have any debts. There was no point asking for the money.
The two of them whispered for a long time before leaving the bank. Sheng Juanhua stuffed the passbook into her innermost piece of clothing and held her stomach while walking.
I was so nervous when I went out.
Although it was still early, the two decided not to eat and went straight back to catch the bus.
When he arrived at the bus stop, Su Youfu bought two sauerkraut flatbreads and put them in his pocket on the bus.
When they got in the car, Sheng Juanhua sat in a seat and Su Youfu stood beside her.
Others thought the couple was very loving. Even though the husband had a lame leg, he still gave his seat to his wife and would rather stand himself.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Sheng Juanhua would let the child's father sit, but today she was also nervous and scared. She covered her stomach, fearing that the passbook would fall out or something.
The journey was extremely long after a few stops. They finally saw the driver Dayong's car. They both breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the roadside outside the car. They each had a piece of bread and started to eat it with the water they brought.
