Chapter 95: What did you spend the money on?
Xiang Shi'an originally wanted to send Xiang Xiaoqiang to the Qingshan Team. This time, their village deliberately refused to cooperate with Shuangshui Village. He also wanted to let his own children and the Su family's children go to the county town to study.
Back in Shuangshui Village, everyone discussed the children's education as they walked.
Widow Liu came back from the fields after work and listened to their discussion from behind. She walked towards them and said, "Village head, if your grandson goes to the county town to study, please take our three children with him."
"All three dolls are going?!"
Not only Xiang Jianming, but everyone else was surprised when they heard this.
Everyone knows the situation in Widow Liu's family. The tuition for one child per semester is eight yuan, and for three children it is twenty-four yuan, not to mention the living expenses and the commuting expenses.
Moreover, among her three children, the eldest Liu Shu and the youngest Liu Qing are boys, while the second child Liu Nian is a girl, but they also have to be sent to school.
Generally, poor families would give priority to sending boys to school, and would more or less have some patriarchal ideas. However, this was not the case with Widow Liu, who raised her three children. She treated all of them equally.
Su Qingyue looked at Widow Liu with mixed feelings. She was a good mother, but she did not agree with her personal style.
"If you want to prepare school bags and stationery for the kids in advance, just bring the money and we can go register together."
Widow Liu looked at Su Qingyue gratefully, "Thank you, sister Qingyue! I know that Qingxi in your family was tutored by you, and now he has learned all the first grade books."
"Can you let my children play with Qingxi and Zhuangzhuang more these days? You don't have to teach them anything. I'm just afraid that the children will go to the city school and the teachers won't know anything and will be laughed at."
Xiang Shishui and Xiang Shian also had the same idea. Their children were running around and playing all day long, so they had to set some rules before school started.
"Can we invite Xiang Xiaoqiang and Xiang Xiaole to play together?" Xiang Shian asked.
Su Qingyue smiled, "How about this, after work tomorrow, let the children come to my house. I will tell them how teachers in the city usually teach and teach them how to introduce themselves. They just need to practice at home for two days."
After hearing this, everyone was very grateful and surrounded Su Qingyue to thank her.
This was the scene Su Qianqian saw when she returned to the village. She was so angry that she went home and complained to Qiao Wang, "Su Qingyue must have known that I was pregnant, so she complained to Zhang Dongfeng and asked him to fire me!"
Qiao Wang has been having an affair with Widow Liu recently, so he casually said a few words to Su Qianqian, "Then you should stay at home and take good care of your baby."
Then he thought that if Su Qianqian was in the village, it would be inconvenient for him and Widow Liu, and he became very annoyed, "If you don't cause trouble, can I fire you?"
"What do you mean, Brother Shen? You are actually speaking for Su Qingyue?" Su Qianqian was furious and her tone was very sharp.
Qiao Wang pushed his glasses and said, "You're pregnant and I don't want to argue with you!" He said this and went out.
Su Qianqian cried for a long time, then opened her wallet and found that more than a hundred yuan was missing. She felt a chill in her heart. What did Shen Xunbao do with the money?
"You said that the money given to Widow Liu was given by Shen Xunbao?" Su Qingyue asked Pei Huaiye doubtfully, "Did you see it?"
Pei Huaiye shook his head. "Widow Liu's husband and parents-in-law died early. Her family looked down on her and she had no one to help her. She worked alone in the fields to earn work points to support the family. It was good enough for the children to have enough to eat, but where did she get the twenty-plus yuan tuition for three children? The only people who were close to her were Su Qianqian and her husband."
Su Qingyue found it difficult to comment on Widow Liu's behavior. "The village will notify her to grow bean sprouts tomorrow. She didn't make enough money from the vegetables in her family's garden last time. This time she has some money, if she uses it quickly, she can make some money."
"It's up to her to choose. Please collect the letters of introduction and certificates for opening a factory. I will help you to find out some connections and see how to get it done faster."
Su Qingyue opened her arms and threw herself into Pei Huaiye's arms, raised her delicate little face, and said with sparkling eyes: "How do you know that this matter is giving me a headache again?"
Pei Huaiye hugged her, touched her head and blamed her, "You're almost going to be a mother, don't jump around like you did just now, it's very dangerous, don't you know?"
"Okay, got it."
The next day, the village radio sounded on time, and Xiang Jianming's voice came out, "Hello, everyone, please come to the brigade for a meeting. There is an important announcement!"
After everyone arrived, Xiang Jianming began to announce the situation.
"After the autumn harvest, our village handed in the grain, but we didn't get much food, and it was all coarse grains. In addition, the summer is over, and now there are only peppers and spinach in the fields. Everyone has no income. I know all this."
"First, the supply and marketing cooperatives are still buying our mountain products. Wild mushrooms, mushrooms and fungus are gone by October, so everyone should hurry up and pick more in the next two months."
"Secondly, Comrade Su Qingyue purchased 2,000 kilograms of soybeans from Pingshu Village, hired a professional master, and bought a diesel pulping machine. After a week of training, we successfully made tofu and bean sprouts, and have already supplied them to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative twice."
"In order to provide everyone with more income, Su Qingyue, several team leaders and I discussed and taught everyone how to make bean sprouts according to the standard. The previous team leaders will collect the money. We will charge three cents per pound of bean sprouts, and the minimum payment is 10 pounds."
The crowd began to talk.
"I told you that the brigade's office had been buzzing for a week so they must be doing something, but you didn't believe me!"
"A pound of bean sprouts costs three cents, so ten pounds of bean sprouts nets a profit of thirty cents? That's more profitable than vegetables!"
"But where did you get the soybeans? How many kilograms of soybeans do you have? If you use them all up, won't you make no profit?"
Xiang Jianming waited until everyone had finished discussing it and continued, "Don't worry if there are no more soybeans. We bought them from Pingshu Village at a price of 0.2 yuan. We will keep the original price and calculate it for you according to this standard. When you have made the bean sprouts, we will deduct the cost after you settle the bill."
"Does that mean we don't have to pay for the cost in advance, and can just take the soybeans and make bean sprouts and make money?"
Xiang Jianming said cheerfully, "That's right! So we need a standard production process. If you want to make bean sprouts, you must learn from each team leader. Make sure the quality is guaranteed. Otherwise, once you are found out, you will be punished and the village will never cooperate with you in future good things!"
"Captain Xiang, we will definitely study hard. This is a good thing to support our family. Who dares to fool around? Thank you and Comrade Su Qingyue!"
"Captain Xiang, can we make tofu? Doesn't the supply and marketing cooperative also sell tofu?"
Xiang Jianming organized the words, "When people make tofu themselves, first, they don't have that much soybeans, second, it takes a lot of time and energy, and third, each family has different standards. The taste is different, and the thickness is uneven. It's hard for us to give a bad review to the supply and marketing company."
"Comrade Su Qingyue bought two grinding machines and also invited a professional master to train the team leader. In the future, we will have someone to make tofu and sell it. If the scale is expanded in the future, we will recruit workers. The prerequisite is that no matter whether it is mountain products or bean sprouts, the quality must be guaranteed!"
"Finally, don't hand in the peppers in the field yet. They will be very useful later!"
