When the aunts heard that there was sugar water, they all ran over on tiptoe one after another.
Only the person sitting on the tree fork picking fruits was left, staring at each other in silence.
Even Captain Lu's wife was no exception, but she didn't just think about herself, she also made a bucket for the toothless old ladies to drink.
The old lady was originally sitting there cursing her unfilial descendants, but she suddenly took a sip of the sugar water, smacked the taste, and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad.
Have another drink, it's a good day."
When Captain Lu's wife saw them rolling up their sleeves and getting back to work, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
The next morning, the first state-owned factory to arrive at Dahe Village was the steel plant. They drove three tractors directly over.
Anyone present who sees this must say bring the pie!!
The director of the purchasing department of the steel plant was so delighted when he saw the big yellow pears that his teeth showed.
Captain Lu ran up to him and said, "Hey, Director, you're here? Let's leave the work to these guys. Let's go to the brigade headquarters."
How about you try our fruit? I'll bring some back for the factory leaders to taste."
Captain Lu said this cleverly. He didn't say it was a gift, but instead said he wanted the leaders to have a taste of it.
Then the director of the purchasing department can decide how much to give.
The director of the purchasing department nodded with satisfaction and followed Captain Lu to the brigade headquarters.
The second person to come to Dahe Village was someone from the textile factory. Aunt Wang, sitting on a tractor, looked at the large-scale pear orchard and could not help but nod and praise: "This must have cost a lot of investment."
"Who says it's not true? Dahe Village is relatively close to our county, and there is an orchard here, so it's convenient for us to eat pears.
You don’t know, the last time I went to another commune to buy pears, it took me almost three hours just by riding my bike.
This makes me so tired, I might as well go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get a ticket and buy it. "
A woman in her 30s with short hair waved a palm-leaf fan and sighed.
"Yes, the welfare provided by the factory every year is those defective cloths. Last year was better, as they provided some woolen gloves.
This fruit is of high quality nowadays.”
Who doesn't know that fruits are extremely expensive now? The price of fruits in the supply and marketing cooperatives is almost catching up with the price of meat.
"Hey, Lao Wang, I heard that you were the one who brought this together, so do you know anyone from Dahe Village?
Let's ask them to give us more and I'll pay them, and the price will be cheaper, how about that?
We'll give out ten kilograms, and the kids at home will have enough to eat, and I'm thinking of taking some back to my parents' home."
Aunt Wang stroked her hair and said with a smile, "You don't know yet, do you? The father of Lu Yuan, who was in our group a while ago, is the team leader of Dahe Village.
Considering that we are both in the textile factory, isn't it easy to save a penny or two?"
When the short-haired woman heard this, she slapped her thigh in excitement and said, "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have brought more money.
I'll bring this back to my parents' home to show off my wealth."
The two were chatting when the car stopped at the gate of the Pear Garden.
Auntie Wang looked at the three tractors parked in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, "Why are the people from the steel mill here so early when they have nothing better to do?
You usually compete to be the first in everything, so do you have to be the first to buy pears?"
The short-haired lady at the side couldn't help laughing: "That's right, the steel plant is the largest plant in our county, and we have to strive to be the best in everything.
Let's go inside and see what the quality of the fruit is like."
As soon as the two of them entered the theater, they met the eyes of several aunts with red eyes.
Captain Lu's wife quickly dusted herself off, walked over and said with a smile, "Hey, are you here to buy pears?"
The short-haired woman was very outgoing and didn't mind the dirty clothes of Captain Lu's wife and the others. She smiled and shook hands with her: "We are from the textile factory. What should I call you?"
When Captain Lu's wife heard that he was from the textile factory, the smile on her face deepened: "The head of my family is the captain of Dahe Village, you can just call me Sister Lu!"
"Oh, you are Lu Yuan's mother.
Lu Yuan works very hard in our textile factory. Many aunts in the factory like her very much. "
When Captain Lu's wife heard what she said, she was so happy that her teeth were showing.
The short-haired woman took the opportunity to pull Captain Lu's wife aside and whispered, "Sister, we want to buy some separately. Can you also give us the factory price?"
Captain Lu's wife looked around and patted the short-haired woman's hand: "Okay, if you don't take these pears to the factory, I'll have the village oxcart deliver them to you later."
"That's great! When the fruits are ripe next time, I'll have to trouble you to save some good ones for us.
It would be so impressive to bring this back to my parents' home, don't you think? "
Captain Lu's wife repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry!"
Normally they sold it to the villagers for 1.5 cents, but this time the factory wanted more, so they negotiated it down to 1.3 cents.
It is not considered a violation for Captain Lu's wife to do this.
People from several subsequent factories did the same thing.
They all wanted to buy some more, knowing that fruit was a rare commodity.
It only costs one or two dollars to buy a dozen or twenty kilograms.
For those who earn only 30 yuan a month, it is still affordable.
In response to this, Captain Lu specifically asked Secretary He to take out a notebook to prevent any mistakes in the registration.
As basket after basket of pears were loaded onto the truck, Secretary He slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh, oh, I forgot to ask the educated youth Xiao Wen to take a picture."
Captain Lu was also very busy. It was the first year of harvesting in their pear orchard, so of course he had to take lots of photos as souvenirs.
Counting on so much money to be shared, Captain Lu no longer felt bad about the money spent on developing the photos, and waved his hand to call Qiao Qianqian over: "Old Third's family, go call Wen Zhiqing over and take a photo for everyone.
If she can't take care of the child, please help take care of him."
Qiao Qianqian agreed with a smile. She was now almost four months pregnant, but because of her small stature, her pregnancy was not noticeable.
When she arrived at Wen Sihe's house, Wen Sihe was feeding her child.
Qiao Qianqian looked at Wen Sihe's fair skin, then looked at her own dark yellow skin and skinny chest, and felt a little jealous.
When Wen Sihe saw her coming, her eyes softened and she waved at her with a smile: "Come quickly."
Qiao Qianqian sat on the bed, teased the eldest brother who was already full and said, "They both found a really strong one.
Others who raise one don’t have one as strong as this one.”
Wen Sihe looked at the doll in her arms and said, "I spent all the royalties I received on them.
Qianqian, what are you doing here?"
Wen Sihe asked this question because she was busy all night yesterday and knew how busy the opera theater was.
