After buying the things, he went to the chemical factory and got a bucket of chemical waste, which was estimated to be about 20 kilograms. It took a lot of effort to get it home. These days, traveling depends entirely on walking. When he returned to Qinjiazhuang, it was already noon.
He would definitely attract the attention of the villagers when he returned with the bucket. Cuihua, a woman who lived at the entrance of the village, came over and unscrewed the lid of the bucket without hesitation and said, "There are so many bags and small things. What goodies are you bringing back?"
Before Qin Huai could stop him, the plastic bucket had already been opened, and a pungent smell rushed up. Cuihua took a few steps back and said in dissatisfaction, "How shameless! You even brought something so smelly home?"
Qin Huai said with a smile: "Who asked you to open it and take a look? It doesn't smell bad at all. I think it smells very good." To Qin Huai, the bucket contained money, so of course it smelled good.
The woman waved her hand: "Come on, come on, you are the one who treats trash as treasure."
Qin Huai said, "If you want, I'll give you some."
Cuihua said disdainfully: "Go away, it stinks, it makes me dizzy."
Qin Huai laughed and covered it and took it home. Qin Xiaomi had already finished school. The two sisters came over to help Qin Huai with the bucket. Qin Huai handed the basket to them and said, "This is light, you guys carry it."
The girl took it and her hand still felt heavy. She opened it and said in surprise, "Brother, where did the meat come from?" Then she said in surprise, "Did you sell all the soap?"
Qin Huai said, "Hush, I'll tell you when I get back."
Qin Xiaomi noticed that there was still salt in the basket. She dipped her hand in some salt, licked it, and said, "It's so salty and delicious."
This girl is so greedy that she even eats salt and doesn't think it's salty.
Salt is an indispensable item, but I haven't seen Qin Huai's house for a long time. What they use is brought from Sister Hong's house. It's not surprising that Qin Xiaomi has this reaction.
When the two saw the things in the basket, they immediately packed up and headed home. The girl remained cheerful and said, "Brother, can you tell me quickly, have you sold all the soaps?"
"It must have been sold, otherwise where would the money come from to buy meat and salt?"
The girl immediately burst into tears and said, "Brother, will our family have money to buy things in the future?"
Qin Huai said, "We can buy whatever we want to eat from now on. Let's go home and make the lard quickly. It's time to make lunch."
Qin Xiaomi said, "Brother, can I have some lard residue?"
"It's our own food, you can eat as much as you want."
"No, no, I'll just eat three pieces. I'll save the rest for later."
"Don't save. I'll buy it for you when you want to eat it."
The two girls started to get busy. As they worked, the girl asked, "Brother, tell me, how did you sell so many soaps?"
Qin Huai said with a smile, "Don't worry about these things from now on. I'm here for you. Our soap is so good, it will definitely sell well."
It didn't take long for the aroma of lard to waft out. The fat meat was bought to make lard. The family was short of oil and salt. The two little girls and himself were malnourished, so he had to take care of everyone's health first.
The aroma of lard attracted several children from the village. Goudan asked, "Uncle Qinhuai, what delicious food have you made?"
Qin Xiaomi said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. You've already smelled it, haven't you?"
Goudan chuckled foolishly, and Qin Huai said, "Don't leave yet. When the lard is ready, I'll give you two pieces of lard residue each."
Qin Dagen's son Tiedan said, "All of you get out of here. This is our lard residue."
Qin Huai said, "You are as stingy as your mother. This is my family, not yours. It is not your turn to be the head of the family."
Qin Xiaomi threatened him, "If you don't give it to others, I won't give it to you." The boy was so scared that he obeyed.
As they were talking, the maid started to pick out the fat residue. There wasn't much fat residue from the three pounds of fat meat. The maid said, "Come one by one, don't rush to grab it."
Each child was given two pieces of oil residue, which tasted crunchy in their mouths. The other children ate and ran away, but Tiedan insisted on taking the bowl with him. Qin Xiaomi slapped him and said, "That's enough. We still have to eat at noon."
Tiedan was unhappy and stretched out his leg to kick Qin Xiaomi, but Qin Xiaomi grabbed his ear and carried him out of the straw hut.
The girl said, "Brother, the fat from the meat you bought has made three bowls of oil."
Qin Huai said, "That's great. Chop up the remaining oil residue and we'll have fried cakes for lunch."
The girl instinctively wanted to refuse, but she restrained herself. Qin Huai thought to herself, "Everything is going in a good direction. This little girl has finally stopped being so stingy with herself."
So Qin Huai chopped the oil residue while the girl went to knead the dough. Suddenly, Qin Huai remembered something and turned around and said, "Girl, don't work this afternoon. Go to the school with Xiaomi and ask. I want to send you to school."
The girl was stunned when she heard this and said, "Study? Brother, you said you want me to study?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you before that I would let you go to school when you have money?"
The girl put down the knife and came over to hug him and cry. In the short time, she had already cried several times: "When my parents were at home, I saw that all the children in the village went to school, so I told them that I wanted to go too, but my father didn't say a word, and my mother didn't let me go. She scolded me and said that I was lazy and didn't want to work, and wanted to go to school to be lazy."
Although a long time has passed, the girl was still crying in grievance when she talked about this. Many unintentional words of adults can often be remembered by children for a lifetime.
Qin Huai said, "Don't blame them. Our family has no money. As long as you are willing to study, I will support you."
Qin Huai didn't have high hopes for the girl's education. He just hoped that she could recognize a few words. She was already thirteen years old. If she started going to school now, she might feel uncomfortable studying in the same grade with children so much younger than her. She was also older and if she studied with children in the fourth or fifth grade, she would not be able to keep up with the progress.
A good child was ruined by money. Letting her go to school now can make up for her regret in life and prevent her from being sad when she thinks about this matter when she grows up.
Qin Xiaomi said happily: "Sister, we will be in the same class then."
The girl was very happy to hear this. Qin Huai rubbed her head and said, "It's okay. Our girl is smart and learns things quickly."
As they were talking, Old Man Qin came rushing back. He also wanted to know how the soap was selling. Qin Huai took out the remaining money and showed it to him, saying, "Grandpa, I sold it all. I bought a lot of things and still have this much left."
Old Man Qin took the money hesitantly, counted it one by one, and asked Qin Huai over and over again: "Is this true? Is this all true?"
Qin Huai said, "Grandpa, the money is in your hands. Don't you know whether it's true or not?"
The old man happily stuffed the money into Qin Huai's hand and said, "Good, very good."
The girl said, "Grandpa, my brother asked me to go to school in the afternoon."
Old Man Qin patted Qin Huai's shoulder with his big hand and said, "Qin Huai, you are a good child. I can close my eyes even if I die soon."
"Master, our family's good days have just begun. You must live well and enjoy happiness in the future."
"Okay, I will definitely watch our family live well."
The old man's mood gradually calmed down, and he pulled Qin Huai to ask him how he sold the soap. Qin Huai certainly didn't say that selling things was difficult. He said casually that as long as the things were put out, people would buy them, and they were sold out in a short time.
The old man said, "I feel relieved to have you in this family."
