Chapter 043 Selling Chickens

took the bus back to school. There was nearly an hour before class. Lin Siwei was about to enter the school gate when the guard called her.

"Classmate Lin Siwei, someone is looking for you."

A tall, middle-aged man in the corner threw down his cigarette butt and shouted: "Siwei!"

"Uncle!"

Lin Siwei was stunned. The visitor was none other than her uncle Jia Bingbing.

"Why are you here? Where is my aunt?"

"We have work at home and we can't leave. Fangfang and Yaming are still waiting for food."

Soldier Jia said, pointing to two snakeskin bags on the ground: "I'll follow Captain Jiang's car is here. I have collected some new rice at home, and your aunt asked me to send it over. You live in the Lin family and live in other people's homes. Although it is your biological father, after all, your aunt said, send it. Bringing me something will show that they didn't support you in vain, and it will also prevent you from being criticized."

Lin Siwei was so moved in his heart.

To be honest, when she traveled to this world, even though she was dressed as a motherless child, apart from the indifference of her biological father's family, there were also many people who cared about her and cared about her.

The more this happens, the more it makes the home on Fishbone Lane unworthy of a little sincerity.

"Fangfang and Yaming are both growing up. You should keep the food for yourself..."

Soldier Jia interrupted her: "Hey, just eat one less bite a day. Besides, what else can there be in the countryside? That's it. Can you get something?"

As he said, he turned around and picked up a sack from the corner.

This sack is more powerful and can move. When he picked it up, it let out a "clack" cry.

"Uncle, you didn't bring hens with you!"

"Two old hens, these are for your stepmother. Give me more gifts, and they will treat you better. Your stepmother is not easy to get along with."

No, I don't know at all . I don't want to get along with her!

But if he rashly told Soldier Jia that he had no contact with the Lin family, it would make Su Hongxia worried. She kept saying in the letter that she was fine, that she had found her father, and that she was reading a book. Su Hongxia was very comforted. Su Hongxia would be sad if she knew that she was not accepted by Lin Zhengqing's family.

After thinking for a while, Lin Siwei said: "Uncle, I'll accept the rice, and you can take the hens back. They are still telling them to lay eggs at home. If they are sent to the city, they will be eaten."

Soldier Jia said cheerfully: " It was meant to be eaten by you. I can’t afford anything else of value.”

“As long as we have rice, my father and my stepmother are not that fussy people. They feel bad after eating this laying hen. ” Well, they are busy at work and are not at home right now. Leave the rice to my school and let my dad take it back by bicycle later."

Seeing that she refused to accept it, Soldier Jia had no idea. He was confused: "I have brought all the clothes out. It's troublesome to take them back. There is no more excitement around here. I'll sell them and I can get some money to buy some wool for your aunt."

This is the right thing to do to buy wool for your wife . Lin Siwei couldn't interfere with his decision any more, since the laying hen...

"Can Fangfang and Yaming still eat eggs?" Lin Siwei asked.

Soldier Jia waved his hand: "Go back and catch a few more chicks. If you raise them, they can lay eggs."

This is really the spirit of revolutionary optimism.

"The farmer's market is far away. I'll go with you. Uncle, please wait a moment while I go ask for leave from the teacher."

She told the guard, put the two bags of rice in a warehouse next to the guard, and then I ran to the head teacher, Zhang Cui, to ask for leave.

As soon as she heard that it was a relative coming from her hometown, Zhang Cui immediately approved the leave.

Who doesn't know that Lin Siwei is an outstanding student who loves studying the most. Not only does he not miss classes easily, he even takes the initiative to take extra classes when there are no classes. If Lin Siwei wants to take leave, it must be because of something important.

Here, Lin Siwei had just taken leave and walked to the school gate when he saw Soldier Jia talking to the postman.

"I raise them at home, they are fresh, one egg a day, and sometimes they lay double yolk eggs. If my niece hadn't refused to accept them, I wouldn't have been willing to sell them."

The postman knelt down and touched the hen. It was indeed tight and thick. Even the little eyes are gleaming.

"It's cheaper. Five yuan is too expensive."

Soldier Jia gently stroked the chicken's head: "Don't touch it if you don't want to buy it. Don't delay others from laying eggs. Five yuan is too expensive for one. You city people are really ignorant. You can earn five yuan for one egg a day in a month or two. "

That hen is really impressive. Soldier Jia touched his head and began to chirp in a low voice. His cheeks turned crimson and he began to walk uneasily along the corner.

"Look, it's about to lay eggs," Soldier Jia said.

The postman stared at the chicken's butt curiously, but the hen refused to cooperate and pushed the chicken's butt into the corner.

Lin Siwei, who was not far away, was amused by this scene.

I didn't realize that Soldier Jia had some talent for business. Before he even got to the farmer's market, someone had already taken a liking to the hens.

No wonder two boxes of Hammerhead have been sold.

"Lin Siwei, your letter." The guard had just sorted the letters delivered by the postman, when he looked up and saw Lin Siwei.

Lin Siwei was filled with joy when he saw the address. It was sent by Gu Qia from the station.

"Thank you, Master." She put the letter into her yellow satchel, planning to read it later when she was empty.

The hen over there has entered the state. The situation at the scene became very joyful. Two rough men stared at an old hen -

one said: "It can't lay eggs in live performances, can it?"

The other said: "The eggs are in place, you can lay them if you want. Why are you picking something? You can't hold it back. "

"It makes sense. It's just like giving birth. You can't control it." " Please

keep your voice down. My hen Jin Gui got angry and had difficulty giving birth."

Shut up.

The hen was really up to the mark. Not only was there no dystocia, she also laid eggs very quickly. After a while, I heard the two men cheering, and then the hen started clucking again.

"For five yuan, these eggs are mine too, okay?"

Jia Bingsheng looked distressed to death: "This chicken isn't yours yet, why should all the eggs be yours?"

The postman didn't care about Jia Bingsheng's promise. He didn't agree, and had already picked up the egg in his hand, and said warmly: "I want to pay you early. Isn't the egg in its belly and a part of it? I won't even bargain with you, you just treat it as an egg." Not yet.”

Soldier Jia waved his hands distressedly: "Brother, please stop talking. Besides, I feel sorry for you. This is really the best egg-laying hen in my family. Not to mention this egg, I don't know how many eggs are in my belly. If my hometown is not far away, I can't carry it." It's not economical to go back, and I won't sell it even if you kill him."

"Thank you, brother." The postman gave him five dollars and happily rode away with the old hen.

"Uncle, you are really good." Lin Siwei sighed in admiration.

Soldier Jia smiled and said: "The main reason is that the old hen cooperated well and actually laid an egg on the spot."

As he said this, he folded the five yuan into a square shape and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

…

The farmer’s market is not far away, and there are all state-owned stalls inside. In the past, everyone had to queue up at the market to buy vegetables, but recently the policy has been loosened, and occasionally farmers from surrounding areas come to set up stalls.

Of course, farmers don't dare to make a big show for fear of being caught. They usually get a basket, put some eggs, duck eggs, or a few vegetables from the field, and squat against the wall of the farmer's market.

If the items are sold out, they will run away. If the items are not sold out, the management staff will also run away. After all, we are fighting guerrilla warfare.

Jia Bingbing had already sold one, and he was not afraid of throwing the remaining one into his hands. He was much more confident, so he found a place at the foot of the wall and nodded to an aunt selling eggs next to him: "Sorry, let's take a place." , I only have one chicken, and I will leave as soon as it is sold."

The aunt frowned, muttered and moved aside.

But when Soldier Jia took his old hen out of the sack, Auntie's eyes lit up.

"Your old hens are well raised."

Lin Siwei said crisply: "This is my uncle. I am studying at Qiantou Grain School. When my uncle came to see me, he had to bring the old hen that is the best at laying eggs in the family, and I didn't. There is no place to raise it, let him take it back, and it is inconvenient, so I want to find a suitable person to sell it."

After a while, two old hens that are the best at laying eggs have appeared in Jia Bingbing's house, and they are still ranked. In no particular order.

Lin Siwei was now dressed decently, and indeed she no longer looked like a rural girl. She looked like a city girl. When she said these words, her aunt couldn't help but believe her.

Soldier Jia has already seen that the aunt is interested in the old hen.

This is not surprising. The fact that the aunt came to sell eggs meant that her family also raised old hens. Of course she was very experienced in laying hens. She could tell at a glance that Soldier Jia was just a "model worker chicken."

"You chicken lay eggs every day?" asked the aunt.

"Of course Tiantianxia doesn't bring any Sunday ones." Soldier Jia pointed in the direction of the Grain School, "Actually, I brought two of them, and another one was spotted by someone else on the way. I spent a lot of time negotiating the price. Eggs, they didn’t even bother talking about the price, so they just took the chicken and ran away, it was nothing.”

The aunt reached out and touched the chicken’s butt, with a satisfied expression on her face: “This one seems to be about to lay eggs too.”

Lin Siwei said: "So if you start early, you will get an extra egg."

"How much does this chicken cost?"

"Five and a half." Soldier Jia really raised the price, and it immediately increased by fifty cents.

"Five yuan, sell it to me."

"No, no." Soldier Jia shook his head violently, "I sold it because it was inconvenient to take it back. I took it back for five yuan. It only cost thirty cents to buy a ticket."

"Then you can sell it slowly." The aunt was also a human being. She immediately turned to greet a passerby, "Do you want eggs? They are from my own hens. They are cheap."

Lin Siwei gave Jia Bingbing a look to ask, but Jia Bingsheng said Raising his eyebrows, that means that five yuan is actually okay.

Lin Siwei understood: "Uncle, you can sell it to aunt at a cheaper price. I'm in a hurry to go back to class."

"No, five and a half yuan, no less. The one just sold for six yuan."

When the aunt heard this, the stairs came up . , Youyou said: "Five and two dollars, that's the top. Just sell it, or forget it if you don't."

"Uncle..." Lin Siwei pushed him.

Soldier Jia gritted his teeth and stamped his foot: "Okay, for the sake of my niece's face..."

Lin Siwei: My face is really valuable, worth thirty cents.
