Chapter 59 School Market
Living close to each other has its pros and cons. At this moment, Wang Silan could only use vague words to evade the issue: "It's nothing. Raising a child is a burden at home. Renshan and I have to take care of everything. We don't have any free time at all. We are exhausted!"
This standard of conduct is very important, especially in the village.
If you live too badly, others will look down on you.
If you live too well, others will be jealous of you.
A thief broke into the house some time ago. Although Wang Silan had no evidence to find out who the thief was, it also sounded a wake-up call for her.
If you suddenly become rich, you must not show off. The most important thing is to take each step steadily and carefully.
Seeing that Wang Silan's expression did not seem fake, Chen Yue'e changed the subject: "What do you think about what Aunt Wang mentioned?"
I'm talking about what Wang Fuqin next door proposed before, that his son Baozhu and Hang Jingshu should go on a blind date, and if they are successful, they will get engaged first.
Thinking of her daughter's attitude, Wang Silan laughed and said, "There's no rush for this. Ni has only been working there for a little over a month. Let's talk about it after things settle down."
Seeing that Wang Silan was absent-minded, Chen Yue'e didn't bother herself any more: "Okay, you keep busy, I'll go back to rub the corn."
Nowadays, harvesting corn and peanuts from the fields is not the end of the story. In the era before widespread mechanization, corn had to be harvested from the husk.
I peeled corn with gloves on. The morning dew mixed with mud stuck to the gloves, and small insects would crawl out from the corn husks from time to time.
The peeled corn cobs need to be dried in the sun, and when they are almost dry, the corn kernels need to be rubbed off little by little with tools. This work takes almost half the winter.
The other half of the winter is spent eating peanuts.
During the autumn harvest, peanuts are pulled out from the fields in clusters by hand. After they are piled up and half dried in the sun, the work is not over yet. The peanuts have to be picked off the vines one by one.
After being picked, they are dried repeatedly for two days, and then the peanut kernels are picked out with tongs to be sold or pressed for oil.
In addition, you need to pick out the peanut kernels that are large and full of grains to save as seeds, and then sow them in the spring of next year.
Farmers have few idle months, and even in winter, they are busy with various things.
The land is rarely idle. After the corn and peanuts are harvested, winter wheat must be planted.
Even in freezing weather, we have to keep pouring frozen water on the crops to prevent the wheat from running out of water during the winter.
Wang Silan was busy with her business and had no time to peel the corn at home, which was piled up like a small mountain in the yard.
During dinner, the couple also agreed that they would sell goods at the county fair and not go to the market for the time being, after all, they had to ensure food supply at home.
Hang Renshan is the only child in the family. His three older sisters all married far away. Compared with other families with brothers, he seems a little weak.
Therefore, after Wang Silan got married, she and her brother's family often traveled around, just to help each other.
Fortunately, the eldest and second sons-in-law are also filial, especially Zhao Donglai, who has come to help every autumn since their engagement. The eldest son-in-law Wang Xiangchun has also come to visit frequently since the separation of the family.
People should strive for good things in order to become more and more energetic.
The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window. Hang Jingshu had already prepared breakfast and packed his things to go to school.
Before leaving the house, she hesitated for a while, but decided to put on the hairpin that Wang Silan gave her yesterday.
Although the red hairpin is small, it can be stuck just above the ponytail. With this embellishment, Hang Jingshu looks full of vigor and energy.
"Xiao Hang!" As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Hang Jingshu was greeted warmly by his classmates.
Lin Xiao also greeted Hang Jingshu with his schoolbag on his back. When he got closer, the attention of several female classmates fell on Hang Jingshu's head.
Zhou Xiaoli spoke quickly, looking at the hairpin on Hang Jingshu's head with envy: "Xiao Hang, where did you buy this? It's a really nice style."
Lin Xiao looked over and also thought she was very pretty. Nowadays girls all dress simply and elegantly, and her dark hair looks good with anything.
"Yes, Xiaohang, where did you buy it?"
Hang Jingshu touched the hairpin on his head and said to a few people as they walked: "I bought it in the commercial street two days ago. You can go and have a look if you have time."
Although Hang Jingshu did not mention his relationship with Wang Silan out loud, he had already figured it out in his heart.
This kind of hairpin can be sold for 2 yuan each, and the more beautiful big bow hairpin should be sold for 5 yuan.
There are 6 classes in the third year of high school, with an average of 32 students. The ratio of boys to girls is about the same, so there are about 16 female students in each class.
If everyone bought from their own stall...
Based on the cheap hair bands, if 96 people spend 0.5 cents each, the total cost is 48 yuan.
There are also students from well-off families, even if they only account for one-third of the 96 people, there are still 32 people.
If these 32 people each buy a $5 card, that would be $160.
Hehehe, they are all beautiful little money~
(￥﹃￥)!
Although Lin Xiao had several hairpins at home, she didn't have any of this style. The other girls were also very interested and made an appointment to go shopping in the commercial street on Sunday.
When he walked into the classroom, the other girls in the class asked him about the hairpin on his head. Even Li Yufang, who had been at odds with Hang Jingshu on the first day, stared at him for several times.
It seems that the school market is also very promising.
I don't know if these stationery items I imported can be sold.
Before I knew it, it was Saturday again. The last class in the afternoon was Teacher Cai’s class. She reminded me in time: “There will be another monthly exam in a week. I hope to see progress in our class this time.”
The other students in the class had different expressions. Li Yufang was the most angry. She clenched her fists, her eyes were full of anger, and she stood up and said excitedly: "Teacher, I think this is unfair!"
Li Yufang pointed at Hang Jingshu and said, "Hang Jingshu formed a clique when she first arrived in the class and only gave lectures to those who liked her and flattered her. They must have improved a lot in this exam!"
Except for the angry Li Yufang and the gloomy Wu Tianming, everyone else looked confused.
During this long period of time, everyone answered each other's questions, and those who needed help asked Xiaohang, and she never refused.
On the contrary, if there are things that are not understood, he will discuss them with everyone.
Why is this person so angry for no apparent reason?
Everyone in the class looked at Li Yufang with strange eyes, and no one responded to her.
Time is moving terribly slowly at this moment.
Gradually, Li Yufang discovered that apart from herself who charged into the formation, Zheng Ruyue and Wu Tianming remained silent.
"What small group? If you have any questions, just ask them. There's no need to go through so many twists and turns." Hang Jingshu had no choice but to explain to this outright accusation.
Whoever makes the claim and provides evidence should produce the evidence if he has the ability.
Li Yufang's face flushed slightly, but she was still unforgiving: "Why did you help other students but never talk to me? You are isolating us!"
As a result, before Hang Jingshu could say anything, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing that both Teacher Cai and Li Yufang were looking at him, Lin Xiao simply stood up and spoke: "Li Yufang, you are so funny. Everyone comes to Xiaohang with questions, but what's wrong with you? You are craning your neck and waiting for her to come over and explain the questions to you? Can you please stop being so shameless!"
