"But the price was not high, so Jianlin and I rented a truck and took the grain to the county town. We sold most of it to department stores and the rest to state-owned stores. Do you know how much we sold it for per pound?"
Old Mrs. Shen brought out the hot food for them and asked expectantly, "How much?"
Old Man Shen said excitedly, "We sold rice for 80 cents a pound and corn for 50 cents a pound! The buyers said they had never seen such good rice and corn, and asked us to sell them to them in the future."
Old Mrs. Shen was very surprised. You know, the best rice in town is only 50 cents a pound at most, and the price of corn is even lower, no more than 30 cents. It was really a surprise that her own rice could be sold at that price.
"Jianlin and I sold 1,200 kilograms of rice and 2,000 kilograms of corn today. Can anyone who is good at math calculate how much we sold for today?" Old man Shen couldn't stop smiling when he talked about this.
Shen Zhile calculated and exclaimed, "1960 yuan?"
"That's right! It's more than 1,900! When has our family ever made so much money from selling grain?" Old Man Shen couldn't believe it when he said it. He felt like he was dreaming. "After deducting the money we paid for buying rice and paying the public tax, and the money we paid for buying fertilizers, the net profit is probably 1,500!"
This number was so inspiring for the Shen family, who were afraid of poverty. In an instant, the whole family was full of energy and their hearts were so excited that they almost jumped out of their throats.
Now the house has been renovated, many furnitures have been replaced, and electric lights have been installed, which makes it look brand new. In addition, the autumn harvest this year has made so much money, and the whole family suddenly feels hopeful.
These days are really getting better and better.
Besides, the red sugar and Old Man Shen's fish pond still have a harvest, and it looks like there will be a lot of it. So this year, their Shen family will really become the envied millionaires, and they will be able to have a prosperous year!
Seeing his family happy, Fubao was happy from the bottom of his heart.
She really hopes that the Shen family will get better and better.
After Old Man Shen shared his joy with the whole family, he remembered something and said mysteriously, "By the way, Jianlin and I bought you something good!"
"Really? What good stuff is it?" Old Mrs. Shen looked curious.
Old man Shen smiled without saying anything. He put down the enamel cup, stood up and called Shen Jianlin to go to the yard outside.
The two men carried in a large box from the yard, opened it in front of the whole family's surprised gaze, took out a lot of white foam from it, and then, a white rectangular machine quietly appeared in front of everyone.
This thing is all white, very big, has two doors, top and bottom, and a handle.
Old Mrs. Shen felt like she had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where it was. She asked in confusion, "Old man, what is this?"
Lin Xiujuan worked in the county town and had some experience. When she saw the machine, she was shocked and exclaimed, "Dad, Jianlin, you...you bought a refrigerator?!"
Old man Shen laughed cheerfully, "Yes, refrigerator, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten what it was called!"
When Old Lady Shen heard that it was a refrigerator, she immediately knew why she felt she had seen it before. When she took a group of children to the county town before, there was an electrical appliance store near the department store. She took a quick look and thought those things were really novel, but they were very expensive at first glance, so she didn't go over to take a closer look.
Now Old Man Shen and Shen Jianlin actually brought back a refrigerator, which scared her. She asked quickly, "Old man, this thing is very expensive, how much is it?"
