After Xia Yulan took the money, she repeated it over and over again. She couldn't believe that the wine was sold for two hundred and twelve yuan.
You have to know that the current salary and benefits of a worker only add up to more than 40 yuan. These more than 200 yuan are equivalent to a worker's four-month salary.
How could she not be excited, how could she not tremble?
"Those grapes were sold at 1.2 yuan per pound, for a total of 36 yuan. The wine was sold at 8 yuan per barrel, for a total of 22 barrels. Of course, 50 yuan of that was a deposit for someone else's wine order, and we also spent some money on buying cloth and snacks!"
Li Wenjing finally settled the score with her mother.
"There's even a deposit of fifty. How many barrels did that person order?"
Li Yuanshan asked excitedly
Li Shuhua said, "The person who ordered the wine looked ordinary in his clothes, but he was able to order twenty barrels of wine at once and pay a fifty-yuan deposit. You can imagine that his family must be wealthy and he must be a connoisseur of goods. It's good that he knows our family. I heard that he is even the director of a factory!"
Xia Yulan agreed, "So he's a leader. No wonder, being a leader is good. Leaders have high salaries, and only with high salaries can you afford to buy alcohol!"
Everyone is very happy that there is an extra source of income in the family.
Li Yuanbing also ate the big meat bun he had been longing for, and was very satisfied.
Xia Yulan also talked about her nephew Xia Jun from her mother's side.
Everyone was silent for a moment, wondering what the hidden story was, how to find Wang Daya who was on a blind date, and how to prove that all this was a setup?
Then Xia Yulan told Li Yuanbing about his trick. She looked at Li Wenjing without blinking, wanting to know if Li Wenjing could see anything from it!
Li Wenjing nodded. She wanted to wait for her cousin and aunt to come and look at their faces, which should give her some clues.
"Or else we have to ask my aunt and cousin to come over. If that doesn't work, we can ask for their birth dates!"
"Your mother, I thought of this a long time ago, so I asked your grandmother to bring your aunt and cousin over on Sunday!"
Xia Yulan had an expression on her face that said: What do you think? Am I very powerful?
Li Wenjing cooperated very well and gave her mother a thumbs up.
Another thing is to send someone to Wulong Village to inquire about Wang Daya.
Li Yuanshan immediately raised his hand and said, "Mom and Dad, I should be able to help with this. Do you remember that I had a classmate whose surname was Wang? His family was from Wulong Village and he even came to our house. However, his surname was also Wang. I wonder if it's the same Wang as Wang Daya's, or if they're related!"
"Who are you talking about, second brother? He's been to our house before. Have I ever seen him before?"
Li Yuanbing tilted his head and thought, since he had been to their house, why couldn't he remember it?
"You, a child, definitely don't know about adult matters! His name is Wang Ping, and his family is from Wulong Village!"
Xia Yulan asked, "What's your relationship with him like? Can you go and ask him about it?"
"I'm on good terms with him, but I'm about to leave. I heard the scenery at Daqing Mountain is pretty good, so I'd like to invite a few people I'm close to to go up the mountain together. Is that okay?"
Xia Yulan wanted to disagree, but when she thought about her son going to the army soon and having fewer opportunities to meet his friends, she agreed to his request.
"Okay, but be careful when you go up the mountain!"
"I know, Mom!"
"Also, when the time comes, don't just hang out with others and reminisce about the past. Remember to ask about your cousin!"
"Got it, my dear mother. I promise to complete the task!"
As Li Yuanshan spoke, he gave Xia Yulan a not-so-standard military salute.
"Dad, I remember Pinggui's wife is from Wulong Village. Do you think I should go ask her?"
Li Shuhua took a puff of his old dry tobacco, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow morning. We'll also take some grapes from home. They have a lot of children."
When he was young, he had a good relationship with Pinggui. Their family situation was similar to his, or even worse than his.
His father is the only unreliable person in his family, but his mother is still very good to him.
Pinggui's family is different. It is said that when the stepfather passes away, there will be a stepmother, but Pinggui's biological father and mother are not as good as his stepfather and stepmother.
Pinggui's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Pinggui. He is the second of two brothers in his family.
It is said that the youngest son is the lifeblood of an old man or woman, but it is just the opposite in their family.
Pinggui's elder brother Pingshun is the lifeblood of Old Man and Old Mrs. Wu, and Pinggui's family are all long-term workers of his elder brother's family.
Before getting married, Pinggui was the only one working like a slave for the family. After getting married, Pinggui brought his wife to work like a slave for the family.
Later, their children were born one after another, and they also worked with them.
It was not until the eldest son of Pinggui's family was pushed into the river by the child of Pingshun's family and Old Man Wu and Old Mrs. Wu refused to pay for his treatment that Wu Pinggui gave up on his parents.
He originally thought that as long as he was obedient and worked hard for the family, his father and mother would treat him like their older brother, or he would be satisfied even if they were only halfway there.
But his tolerance and acceptance of his fate will not only not be treated well, but will make them enslave them even more. His life was given by his parents, but what about his wife and children? What have they done wrong? Just because they married him and became his children, they have to endure all this?
Unwilling to let his wife and children live in such darkness, he began to resist, and finally forced Old Man Wu and Old Mrs. Wu to separate.
When they separated, Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu were very cruel and kicked them out of the house with only their usual bedding.
In the end, Li Shuhua and team leader Wu Aijun couldn't bear it anymore and helped them buy some things.
After all, they grew up together. He wanted to ask his wife about the situation of Wang Daya's family himself, and Pinggui's wife would also tell him.
Early the next morning, Xia Yulan and Li Shuhua went to Wu Pinggui's house at the east end of the village.
The place where Wu Pinggui lives now is still the house of an old hunter in the village, but the old hunter has passed away and there are no children in the family.
At that time, Wu Pinggui was driven out by Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu and had nowhere to go, so they arranged for him to live here. He has lived here for several years. Now they have bought this house from the village, and it officially belongs to their family.
Wu Pinggui's wife is called Li Ya. Her family is from Wulong Village. Her family is not rich and she has a brother, so he can't help her much normally.
To be honest, it has not been easy for the couple to go from having a tight life in the beginning to having a decent life now.
