In recent years, the family's financial situation has improved and the policies have not been so strict, so Old Mrs. Tian has raised a lot of chickens at home and steamed a bowl of egg cake every day.
In addition, Tian Tian and Tian Yuan would send delicious food to the house, so Tian Zhuo had enough nutrition. When it was time for him to grow taller, his height jumped up immediately. Although Tian Zhuo is only thirteen years old now, he is not shorter than Tian Tian, and is even taller.
"If you want to sell it, then I'll ask your sister Lingling if it's possible?" Tian Tian said.
"But you can't delay the housework. Our father is busy these days, and you are the only man in the family. You have to support the family!" The New Year is just a few days away, and Tian Lisong is busy again. Tian Yuan is not going home this year, so Tian Zhuo is the only one left at home.
Tian Zhuo's face turned bitter when he thought of the chores at home. Now that Grandma Tian is old, people in the family don't let her do too much work. But this year Grandma Tian raised a lot of chickens, and there were people to feed them and sweep up the chicken poop. There was also a lot of corn at home that had not been husked.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Lin Meiyu is still preparing food for the New Year. She is busy all day long, and after she finishes her work, she has no time to sell chestnuts.
"Anyway, your sister Lingling is selling chestnuts in the county town. Are you afraid that you won't have the chance to help? After the New Year, you can go to help your sister Lingling, or you can go and help her on Saturdays and Sundays after school starts!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
"That's fine!" Tian Zhuo said disappointedly.
"I'm leaving first. Please sweep the house clean. When I wake up tomorrow morning, my shoes will be covered with chicken poop. You must not have cleaned it clean last night!" Tian Tian complained as she walked out.
After going out, she didn't dare to delay and hurried to find Tian Yun and Tian Lili, and the three of them walked into the county town together.
It is the New Year now, and many people are going to the county town to buy New Year's goods. They are reluctant to spend money, so they just go there by bus.
Tian Lili was a very outgoing person. She soon struck up a conversation with her sister-in-law who was also going to the county town. They walked and talked all the way and soon arrived at the county town.
When they arrived at the county town, they hurried to Shen Lingling's home. Shen Lingling had already cooked a pot of chestnuts at home. When Tiantian and the others arrived, Shen Lingling was carrying the iron stove, teapot, and coal briquettes she had made herself onto a wheelbarrow.
She got up in the morning and made herself breakfast, then began to prepare the chestnuts to sell today. She washed the chestnuts, cut them open and put them in the pot.
Then he prepared the things he wanted to use to set up his stall. He was busy the whole morning.
Now seeing Tian Tian and the others coming, I felt relieved and quickly asked them to come over to help.
Tian Lili and Tian Tian worked on it all day yesterday and have gotten the hang of it today.
After helping Shen Lingling to load all the things onto the wheelbarrow and sending Shen Lingling away, Tian Tian and Tian Yun also carried their own small baskets covered with quilts to keep them warm, put many chestnuts into them, took the oil paper bags that had been folded long ago, and went out to sell things.
The two of them did not forget to shout on the way to the park, and sold a lot of chestnuts along the way.
Some people only like chestnuts, so Tian Tian puts a spoonful of chestnuts in an oil paper bag, seals it and hands it to the person.
Some people also like the soup made from boiled chestnuts. A lot of saccharin is added to the soup, so it tastes sweet. Although it is not real white sugar, some people drink the water used to boil chestnuts to sweeten their taste.
These people knew that Tian Tian had nothing to hold water, so they brought their own lunch boxes. Two full spoonfuls of soup and water were sold for the same price as one spoonful of dried chestnuts.
The chestnuts they put in teacups might be a little less, but if they put in lunch boxes, it would take six spoonfuls of chestnuts to fill the lunch boxes, so they could earn more money.
Before they even reached the park, Tian Tian and Tian Yun had sold all the chestnuts they were carrying, so they had to go back again.
This trip to the park went smoothly. Although they sold a few chestnuts on the way, there were still a lot of chestnuts left. They found a sealed area in the park and started selling chestnuts again.
There are more people today than yesterday. Many rural people also go to the county town to buy New Year's goods. After Tian Tian and her friends sold their goods in the park, they saw the supply and marketing cooperative was packed on their way back.
Tian Tian's eyes turned, and she leaned close to Tian Yun's ear and said, "Look, there are so many people in his supply and marketing cooperative. We can actually sell here. Besides, the supply and marketing cooperative is close to home, so we don't have to walk so far."
Tian Yun was also a little tempted, but she was a little hesitant, "But there are still a lot of people waiting for us to go to the park. I promised them that I would definitely get them the hottest chestnuts later. Now I don't want to go to the park. It's a bit embarrassing."
Tian Tian thought this was not a problem. "What's the big deal? We can sell separately. You go to the park and I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative. We won't have to go back to get the things later. It's a waste of time to walk on the road. Let's ask Sister Lili to deliver it to us."
Tian Lili's job of cooking chestnuts at home is actually a little easier than that of Tian Tian and the others.
While the chestnuts are washed and put into the pot, Tian Lili just sits beside them and cuts the chestnuts.
It takes a long time to cook a pot of chestnuts, and during this period you can harvest a lot of chestnuts.
The other one they cooked today was cut two or three days in advance, so there was no rush to use it. Shen Lingling had nothing to do at home in the evening, so she could eat some chestnuts.
It would be entirely possible for Tian Lili to make a few more trips to deliver things to them, otherwise it would take a long time for them to go back and forth.
Tian Yun also agreed. Although the county town was small and the park was not far from the rented house, it would take at least half an hour to go back and forth. That was half an hour that one could not sell things, which was indeed a waste of time.
The two of them went back and told Tian Lili about this matter. Tian Lili was not the type to avoid work. Shen Lingling made more money from selling things, so they would naturally get more money.
After hearing what Tian Yun said, she immediately agreed to go over there every half an hour.
But if she waits until the chestnuts are sold out, she will have to cook them first, which might make it a little late.
After they made their happy decision, Tian Tian and Tian Yun split into two groups, one went to the park and the other went to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
During the Chinese New Year, the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people, and from above, it looked like a big ball had grown at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
