Not only was he not careful in case someone found out, but he also sold it. What was Li Aihua thinking?
"State-owned restaurants, they don't charge for this."
"How do you know?"
"I found out when I went to the county town and asked the state-owned restaurants and the supply and marketing cooperatives whether they would accept eggs."
Li Aihua explained, but Hu Xiaoyi still had more and more questions.
"You still sell eggs?" Hu Xiaoyi was really confused.
Why does it feel like everything has changed when he came back after being away for three months?
“Yes, the hens at home lay a lot of eggs and we can’t eat them all.
If you keep it for too long, it will go bad, and you can sell it and get some money.”
Li Aihua picked out the things she could tell Hu Xiaoyi, and as for the debt matter, she kept it completely secret.
"That's true." Hu Xiaoyi nodded, "The money from the sale can be just enough to buy some household items."
At the end of last year, there was only a few dollars left from the settlement when he left.
It is normal that Li Aihua thought of using this method to supplement the family income because there is not enough money at home.
After cooking two dishes, we started eating.
After dinner, the three of them took a nap and then went back to their own business.
In just a few days, the work of turning the fields was completed, and Hu Xiaoyi is now bored every day.
They could only go up the mountain to chop firewood every day, or cultivate their own land behind the house.
By the end of the month, Li Aihua gave the last sum of money for buying the prey to Hu Lin, and their repayment plan was successfully completed.
She also agreed with the state-owned restaurant that she would resume business in the early spring of next year.
Now that she has nothing to worry about, she can work hard every day to make winter clothes for Hu Lin.
She promised her daughter last year that with Hu Xiaoyi's salary this year, she can make a thick winter coat for her daughter.
Hu Lin was in the room, counting the money.
November was the best month for hunting game. Not only did we sell sixty bucks, but we also had some left over to store as meat for the winter.
This month, Li Aihua and Hu Xiaoyi have been pickling game every day. Except for those kept for sale, the rest are pickled.
This year they not only made air-dried food, but also smoked it, providing a new flavor for the winter rations.
It’s just that we have to sell the game this year, so the winter reserves are not as much as in previous years. But with chickens and ducks, we don’t have to worry about having no meat to eat.
Hu Lin took out the remaining 74 cents from September from the cabinet, counted out 48.53 yuan, and put it in his pocket.
The remaining twelve yuan and twenty-one cents was her first pot of gold on the road to primitive accumulation.
After Hu Lin finished cleaning up, he went to the health room to find Zhao Ming to settle the bill.
Zhao Ming was still very busy. His eyelids were black and blue from being so busy that he had no time to trim the stubble on his chin.
He had lost some weight, looked obviously listless, and there was no light in his eyes.
At the end of the year, accounting is so terrifying.
She had often heard Zhao Ming say how busy he was at the end of the year, but she didn't take it seriously.
Looking at Zhao Ming now, Hu Lin deeply realized how busy he is.
"Here, drink some water." Zhao Ming handed the water to Hu Lin with a weak breath.
Hu Lin drank a sip of warm water and said, "How late do you stay up every night? I think you are half dead."
"Two o'clock is the norm." Zhao Ming rubbed his face, "There are many people in Xiaohe Village! The whole family goes out for the autumn harvest.
The number of people alone was more than 2,000. The work points for the year also needed to be calculated.
I am dying from all the hard work! My brain is numb.”
"Okay, busy man! I won't waste your time." Hu Lin took out the money and said, "Settle the account."
Zhao Ming took the money and nodded, "You still make money quickly."
"Do you still do this business in winter?"
"I think you're really not smart enough. The mountain is covered with snow, and the weather is basically 20 degrees below zero.
Am I crazy to still be making this money? "
Hu Lin complained.
"Who knows? You can make money so quickly, you might be tempted!" Zhao Ming teased.
"Forget it. Life is more important." Hu Lin put down the enamel cup, "Let's go, you can figure it out slowly!"
Zhao Ming put the money in his pocket and silently made a note of it for Hu Lin.
Very principled!
In mid-December, year-end settlement and dividend distribution began.
The payment of public grain was delayed this year, and their settlement was also delayed, so this year the village combined the settlement and dividends together.
The snow fell early this year, starting on the 14th.
Therefore, when the settlement came, Hu Lin did not follow.
It was snowing heavily and the road was difficult to travel, so Hu Xiaoyi went alone.
Anyway, before leaving, she had already told Hu Xiaoyi that she would still exchange half of the food for money.
This month, Li Aihua went to the county town to sell eggs again.
By the way, I bought all the household items for the winter and two oil lamps.
There is one lamp in the living room and one lamp shared by the kitchen and toilet.
Hu Xiaoyi hadn't worked for several months, so the amount of food he received was not as much as last year, just over 400 kilograms.
The price of rice has increased a bit this year, to 1.6 cents. Hu Xiaoyi exchanged half of the rice for 32 yuan.
The dividends consisted of twelve pieces and a piece of lean meat.
The roads are slippery on snowy days and the sky is gloomy. It looks like it's going to snow again.
Seeing Hu Xiaoyi coming back with a load of grain, Li Aihua also put on a backpack and followed him to move the grain.
Afraid that it would snow and get the food wet.
The two of them worked for most of the day, and by after four o'clock in the afternoon, they had moved hundreds of kilograms of coarse grains back home and stored them in the cabinets and cellar.
As soon as they finished their work, snow began to fall from the sky.
Li Aihua was glad that she helped to move the grain, otherwise Hu Xiaoyi would have not finished moving it by now if he was alone.
After a short break, Li Aihua started cooking.
I used the lean meat to make a dish of stir-fried pork with black fungus, and boiled an egg and spinach soup with bean paste and green onions, which was our dinner.
