This was a lifelong pain for him, but that's another story.
The wind in the northeast had gotten a bit cooler. Su Li told Chen Shengnan to go up the mountain with her two aunts when it was time, as she had something to do at the supply and marketing cooperative. Then, carrying her basket, she got back on Old Li's oxcart.
Today she plans to try selling apples. She doesn't plan to go to Lu Shan for the time being, as she can't wholesale the apples to him at a low price.
That's too high. I doubt he'd be willing to pay that much, and he'd probably think she was overcharging.
Upon arriving in town, Su Li did what she always did: went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some things.
He changed into a suit and carried a basket as he walked towards the family compound.
As luck would have it, she ran into Old Mrs. Chen again.
The two arrived at the old lady's house as if on cue; "Young lady, what good things did you bring this time?"

"Auntie, I wasn't lying to you! I guarantee that once you buy these apples this time, you'll want to buy them again next time."
Old Mrs. Chen was still not satisfied after finishing her meal, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Little girl, give me five more."
"Hey, Su Li picked out five big ones and handed them to her."
Old Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "Here's four yuan. If you have anything good next time, come find me again."
"OK"
Su Li visited several residential compounds and earned thirty yuan.
