Chapter 122 Buying Bamboo Tubes

Seeing Zhang Jinlan's serious expression.

Ma Chunxia finally reacted. She smiled innocently and called out "Sister Jinlan".

It brought the two of them closer together.

"I told you, there's no upper limit. We'll take as many as we can."

Zhang Jinlan sat back on the bench.

Jiang Fubao wanted to laugh when he saw it.

Grandma Chunxia's expression changed so quickly.

He was full of disbelief just now, but now he is extremely fawning.

"How many do you want? Sister Jinlan, your business is so big? Can you tell me what you sell?"

Ma Chunxia lowered her voice, bent over and moved closer to Zhang Jinlan and asked.

"I sell green bean soup and pancakes on a small scale. I am very busy but I just make hard-earned money."

Zhang Jinlan naturally wouldn't tell the truth.

Her relationship with Ma Chunxia was only slightly better than that of some people in the village who would quarrel whenever they met.

It's just a superficial friendship.

"No wonder. I saw you buying mung beans in the village before. The villagers said you wanted to sell them in town and make a few cents. So you were selling mung bean soup. Which stall are you at in such a hot day?"

Ma Chunxia asked again.

“I don’t have a stall. After all, I have to cook green bean soup every day, and it’s inconvenient to set up a stall, so I rented a small shop. I can’t make much money because the rent of the shop is too expensive. The capital is there, but if I set up a stall, I could make some money.

I regret it, but I have already paid the rent for the shop. What else can I do? I have to bite the bullet and do it. The more I think about it, the more worried I get. I have been busy for several months, but I don’t earn as much as I would as a part-time worker. "

Zhang Jinlan frowned and sighed.

Ma Chunxia believed it 100%.

"Tsk tsk, you should have thought it through in advance. Now you can't get out of this. Let me make a hundred bamboo tubes first. When they're not enough, tell me and I'll continue."

Ma Chunxia didn't dare to go long.

She was afraid that Zhang Jinlan couldn't give her the money.

"It's okay, just do it. I still have this little money. I just hope I can sell more. I will feel at ease if I can earn enough rent."

Zhang Jinlan understood the meaning of her words.

I know what Ma Chunxia is thinking.

She raised her hand.

This gave Ma Chunxia a reassurance.

"Okay, I'll take them to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo. Anyway, there's nothing to do after dinner except taking a walk. I'll make you a batch tomorrow morning."

After Ma Chunxia finished speaking, she turned around and went into the main room without waiting for Zhang Jinlan to answer.

Suddenly, the sound of many people talking could be heard from inside.

Zhang Jinlan hugged Jiang Fubao and left.

I haven't even sat down yet when I got home.

I saw a group of people walking past the door of my house.

Upon closer inspection, it was Ma Chunxia's family.

"What an impatient person." Zhang Jinlan shook her head helplessly.

"Grandma, didn't you say before that you would buy three bamboo tubes from Chunxia for one penny? How come it has become five now?"

Jiang Fubao sat on his own little chair, tilted his head, and asked grandma.

"A little bit of rice is rewarded with gratitude, and a little bit of rice is resentful. We sell bamboo tubes for one cent each, so even if we spend one cent to buy two from her family, we still make money. But small favors and small benefits can make the relationship between our two families go further. If her family makes more money, who knows what they might think of. But if we make only ten cents a day, they will only try to please us, and we are afraid that this way of making money will be gone.

Fubao, you are still young and don't know how to behave in society. Remember, if you have a good playmate in the future, you must not help her too much, understand? And grandma just said that the shop doesn't make money, and she deliberately concealed it. If your grandma Chunxia let it slip, the villagers will target our family. "

Zhang Jinlan took her granddaughter's hand and kneaded it gently.

She looked outside the door.

"Okay, I understand, grandma, let's go to bed quickly. I'm so sleepy."

Jiang Fubao nodded heavily, she yawned, and felt sleepy all of a sudden.

At this moment, the sunset is about to leave.

The sky darkened considerably.

My grandmother helped me wash my body.

Jiang Fubao filled the basin under the bed with frozen meat, then snuggled into the quilt and went to sleep peacefully.

She was covered with a thin blanket.

After sleeping for a while, the door was opened.

It’s Zhang Yanzi.

After covering her daughter with the quilt, she left a kiss on her forehead.

"Is Fubao asleep? Let me take a look."

Jiang Siyin also walked in quietly.

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Yanzi put her index finger in front of her mouth: "Shh! Don't bother her, our daughter is asleep, let's go."

Zhang Yanzi pulled him out the door.

Then I went to see my two sons.

The couple returned to the house.

"Wife, you smell so good~"

The moment the door closes.

Jiang Siyin hugged Zhang Yanzi.

His voice was originally very pleasant, and now it had a bit of hoarseness and sweetness.

"Nonsense, it's obviously the smell of sweat, where does the fragrance come from?"

Zhang Yanzi glanced at him.

It's obviously dark in the room.

But I can still see my husband's handsome face clearly.

Zhang Yanzi's cheeks blushed slightly.

"I don't care, you just smell good, my wife~" Jiang Siyin started to act coquettishly, and Zhang Yanzi couldn't bear it.

They both lay down on the bed.

In the other room.

Sun Pingmei hugged Jiang Eryong and said quietly, "Husband, let's have another daughter."

Her words frightened Jiang Eryong, who was lying down, so much that he sat up immediately.

"Giving birth to a bullshit, I see you just aren't tired. Tomorrow, let Siyin switch jobs with you, and you go fetch water from the river."

"Husband, if you don't want to have a baby, then we can..."

The words were not finished.

Jiang Eryong quickly lay down, turned over and closed his eyes.

"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

He was exhausted every time he went to town.

There was no idea at all in my mind.

"Hmph, I won't let you sleep!" But Sun Pingmei refused to let him go.

"Hey, what are you doing? Stop pulling my pants. My pants are going to fall off, you stinky woman. I think you deserve to be punished."

"Hmph, take care of me."

Sun Pingmei gave a gruff sound.

Jiang Eryong turned around immediately.

It was a beautiful night, but there were slight vibrations in several rooms of the Jiang family.

“Boom boom boom—”

"Are you guys here, Sister Jinlan? I'm here to give you a bamboo tube—"

Jiang Fubao was awakened by knocking on the door and voices.

She sat up in bed and stretched.

After finishing all the daily tasks, she put on her clothes and shoes and walked out of the house.

I happened to see Ma Chunxia from next door standing in the yard talking to her grandmother.

She was followed by two people.

Each carrying a large bamboo basket.

They are Ma Chunxia’s sons, Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu.

"Last night, my family had nothing to do, so we made a few more. Well, there are a hundred in total. Check the number."

Ma Chunxia finished speaking.

Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu put the bamboo basket on the ground and took a step back.

They glanced at their mother sideways.

What are you doing?

It was clearly done until the late night.

I have to get up before the Jiang family goes to town.

I'm so sleepy.

The two of them yawned and tears came out.

"Okay, no need to count. I trust you. We agreed that five will cost one cent. Here, twenty cents. Take it."
