Early the next morning, Su Man, Wang Fugui and Wang Fengye went to the town carrying 200 kilograms of peppers.
This was Wang Fengye’s first time in town, and he looked around excitedly.
There are many people at the morning market, and the shouts are heard one after another.
Su Man was afraid that he would get lost, so she found a piece of cloth and tied it around their wrists.
Wang Fengye was unhappy. He shook the strip of cloth in his hand and asked, "Why did you tie it like this? Do you think I'm stupid too?"
Wang Fugui was squatting on the ground unpacking the sack of chili peppers. Hearing this, he glanced at Wang Fengye and Su Man.
His younger brother is childish and a bit rebellious. The more he is not allowed to do something, the more he wants to do it.
Moreover, he was always laughed at by his fellow villagers as a little fool, and he hated being thought of as stupid the most. Now he was clearly unhappy, and we would see how Su Man could persuade him.
Facing Wang Fengye's angry face, Su Man said calmly, "It's not because you're stupid, it's because there are too many people here. I'm afraid that a beggar will take me away, and then you won't have a wife."
These words turned Wang Fengye from a protected person into a protector, and well maintained his young self-esteem.
Sure enough, Wang Fengye stopped being angry after hearing this and said with a smile, "Don't worry, wife, I will definitely not let anyone take you away."
Su Man smiled softly, "Thank you very much. You must protect me and don't leave me."
"good!"
Wang Fengye puffed out his chest, like a bodyguard.
Wang Fugui, who witnessed the whole process, was shocked. How could this be possible?
...
Wang Fugui was very skillful and he untied the sack in a few moves. He also rolled up the edge of the sack to reveal the peppers inside.
Wang Fugui held the scale, Su Man prepared the change, and Wang Fengye looked at the chili peppers.
The morning market is already crowded with people, not only townspeople who come to buy vegetables, but also small business owners who come to purchase supplies for restaurants.
The crowd was bustling, and the air was filled with the aroma of vegetables, fruits and fried cakes.
Su Man cleared her throat and said loudly, "Selling spicy..."
"chili!"
A man exclaimed, pointing at the sack in front of Suman.
Su Man silently added the last word, "...pepper."
Many people were attracted by the man's voice, "Where are the peppers?"
When they saw the green bags of peppers, their eyes began to glow green.
Especially those small restaurant owners, they were about to pounce.
There aren't many peppers on the market, so every time they come out, there's a rush of buying.
So they are used to stockpiling peppers, using them themselves first. Even if they can't use them all, they can sell them at a higher price, so they don't lose money either way.
A man in a leather hat took out a wad of money and said, "Little sister, buy it all for me."
"Hey, I can't take you like this, little sister, give me fifty pounds."
"I want one too."
"Weigh ten pounds for me."
People crowded in and soon surrounded Suman and his chili stall.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't push, don't push." Wang Fugui shouted in vain, but his voice was soon drowned out.
“…”
After everyone dispersed, Su Man, Wang Fugui and Wang Fengye were each holding an empty sack and standing in the wind.
Three months of farming, three minutes of selling peppers.
However, this time the peppers were sold at a price they had never imagined. One pound of peppers was 80 cents, and more than 200 pounds of peppers were sold for 160 yuan.
On the way back, Wang Fengye was so happy holding a toy car.
Suman was holding gifts for her family.
This success made Suman more determined to grow peppers, but it was a pity that winter was about to come and it was not possible to grow them outdoors.
If you want to plant, you have to build a greenhouse.
If they want to build a greenhouse, their original land is not suitable because it has a slope and does not meet the geographical conditions for building a greenhouse.
If you want to build a greenhouse, you have to contract a new piece of land. It’s not just a matter of money, but also someone has to be willing to sell it.
-
Liu Ping was a little scared when she heard Su Man's idea.
"Girl, there's only so much land in our village. Everyone depends on the food from the land for their livelihood. How could anyone give us the land, except..."
Liu Ping glanced at Su Man cautiously. "Except for the village secretary, his family's land has been abandoned for a long time."
“…”
The village secretary is Zhao Baili’s father.
The Zhao family had only one son, Zhao Baili, and they refused to let him work on the farm.
Old Zhao never asked Zhao Baili to do rough work. He even asked him to go to high school in town and take the college entrance examination, as if he wanted to train him to be a great leader.
Originally, when Zhao Baili's mother was alive, she would tidy up the land, but since his mother passed away a few years ago, the land has been completely deserted.
I heard that Lao Zhao is trying to get a job as an official in the town recently, so we can’t farm the land anymore.
Su Man thought for a moment and said, "Their land has been abandoned for so long, and now they want to move away. If we offer money to buy it, they may not be reluctant."
Liu Ping knew that Su Man was a person who would stick to her word. Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, she said, "Since that's the case, I'll go talk to Lao Zhao. After all, you're a girl, and it's not easy for you to show up in public."
Although Liu Ping didn't say it out loud, Su Man knew that she was afraid that she would be embarrassed when she met Zhao Baili's father, so she made this trip for her.
...
Liu Ping did what she said and went to Zhao's house with some things.
Su Man originally thought that she would not be back until noon, so she wanted to cook the rice first.
Unexpectedly, just after the fire was lit, Liu Ping came back covered in dust.
"Mom? Why are you back so soon?"
"Don't mention it."
Liu Ping put the gift basket on the table and said angrily, "This old Zhao, after becoming the village secretary, really thinks he's a big boss."
