Chapter 177 Buying a Sewing Machine
When this matter was mentioned, the two of them felt a headache. Drinking really did cause trouble, so why did they agree to it?
It's okay for them to cook at home, but they really don't have the confidence to cook for salesmen in the city.
"Well, Third Brother, what I'm saying to your sister Zhaodi is, why don't we just forget about this?"
Liu Cuilan spoke tentatively.
"Xiaoxiao, Aunt Liu is right. We don't know anything about this. Wouldn't it be a joke for you if we went there?"
"Mom, Sister Zhaodi, you two promised me this yourself. I've already given you the list."
Su Xiaoxiao lied to them. She was very confident in their cooking skills, and with her recipe, this would definitely be successful.
Liu Cuilan slapped her thigh and said, "What? How did you get reported?"
Xu Zhaodi's palms were sweating with nervousness. "Xiaoxiao, can it be changed? Can you talk to your leader and ask them to cross our names off?"
"It's too late. Everything has been reported."
Su Xiaoxiao lied with open eyes.
"What should I do then?"
When they heard this, they immediately lost their minds and looked at Su Xiaoxiao in unison.
"What else can I do? I'll just join in."
Hearing this, Xu Zhaodi tentatively asked, "Xiaoxiao, what will happen if Aunt Liu and I don't go?"
"It's nothing serious, but the 100 yuan deposit we paid can't be refunded."
Su Xiaoxiao continued to lie with her eyes open. In fact, there was no such thing as a deposit at all, but she knew that if she didn't force them, they probably wouldn't participate.
"this……"
The two looked hesitant, and Su Xiaoxiao made the decision for them: "It's not a big deal. The worst that can happen is that you won't be selected."
When the two thought about it, it seemed to be the case. At most they would just have to go to the city, and there would be no loss.
"I even specially prepared two sets of clothes for you two, just perfect for the bidding."
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she took out the two sets of clothes given by Manager Wang and unfolded them for the two people to see.
Liu Cuilan immediately refused: "Such fancy things are worn by you young people. I can't wear them. Third brother, you should keep them for yourself."
"I bought it in your size, but it won't fit me."
As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she stuffed the clothes into Liu Cuilan's hands and said, "Mom, you are not yet fifty, you are still young, there is nothing you can't wear, the aunties in the city all dress like this."
She took out another set and stuffed it into Xu Zhaodi's hand: "Sister Zhaodi, this one is yours."
"Xiaoxiao, this is too valuable. I can't accept it. You've already given me enough."
Xu Zhaodi also immediately shook her head and refused.
"We're family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. In my heart, Sister Zhaodi, you're my real sister. If you don't accept me and act distantly towards me, I'll be angry."
Su Xiaoxiao said.
Unable to refuse, Xu Zhaodi had to accept it.
Seeing that both of them accepted it, Su Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.
Su Xiaoxiao: "The bidding will be held in a week. I'll write a menu for you later, and we'll follow it."
The two looked at each other and nodded: "Okay, we will listen to you."
While the three were talking, someone knocked on the gate. It was Grandma Liu from the village.
"Xiaoxiao, my grandson is getting married soon, and they need a sewing machine. Can you help us get one?"
At this point, Grandma Liu felt a little embarrassed again: "We can only get ten of these industrial coupons on hand. Can you help me ask for them?"
Sewing machines were rare at that time. Not only did one cost more than a hundred yuan, but you also needed more than a dozen industrial tickets.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that there was a sewing machine in the mall, so she agreed immediately: "Okay, Grandma Liu, I will help you think of a solution. Wait for my good news after get off work tomorrow."
Grandma Liu was immediately touched: "Xiaoxiao, thank you for your help. If I really had no other choice, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask you for help."
As she spoke, she took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket: "Xiaoxiao, these are for you to eat. Just think of them as a way to get some good luck in advance."
"Grandma Liu, you're so polite. We're all neighbors. If you need me in the future, just come and see me."
Grandma Liu was very touched. "Cui Lan, you really gave birth to a good daughter. If my grandson didn't already have a partner, I would definitely match them up. Whoever marries your Xiao Xiao would be blessed for eight lifetimes."
Liu Cuilan was so proud of the compliment: "My third child takes after me. He has been smart and capable since he was young."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Grandma Liu left happily.
Liu Cuilan looked at the sky and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Third brother, go and take a look. Why haven't the fourth and fifth brothers come back yet? Did they run into something?"
Su Xiaoxiao estimated that it was almost six o'clock. Usually, the two little brothers would have come back for dinner at this time. It was indeed unusual that they had not come back today.
She immediately put the flashlight in her pocket and rode her bike to school.
The weather was getting colder and it got dark earlier. When Su Xiaoxiao rode her bike to school, it was already dark.
The school gate was locked and the campus was empty; it was obvious that all the students had left long ago.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly rode her bike back.
Along the way, I searched all the places the two of them often went to, but I couldn't find them.
She suddenly became even more panicked.
Could something really have happened?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw two familiar black shadows in the distance. She hurriedly stepped on the pedals twice, and when she got closer and saw the two people clearly, she was shocked.
"What have you two been doing? How did you end up like this?"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly braked the car, took a step back, and kept a safe distance from the two people.
The two men were wet and barefoot, with black mud covering the spaces between their fingers and toes.
They both grinned, revealing their big white teeth: "Third sister, we are going to make money."
"Make money? What kind of money can you two make?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked skeptical.
Su Jianwu puffed out his chest and took out a dirty fifty cents from his pocket: "Here, this is what we just earned."
"We just found a good job, catching snails in the river and selling them. We get ten cents per pound, which is a lot of money. If it hadn't gotten dark so early, we could have caught even more."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard what the two said, she immediately remembered that at this time, there seemed to be quite a few people from the south coming here to buy snails.
"Third sister, let me tell you, we'll take as many as we can. We've decided to come and catch snails tomorrow afternoon. 10 cents per pound, and we'll catch them all afternoon..."
"You two dare to skip school? I'll break your legs."
Before Su Jianwu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao and immediately shut up. Su Xiaoxiao said with a dark face: "Go home quickly, and don't do this job anymore."
It's so dangerous to be in the river in the dark. What if something happens?
The two little brothers were beaten up again when they got home. After they repeatedly promised not to touch the snails tomorrow, they were sent back to their own room with their butts covered.
Su Xiaoxiao was lying on the kang. Just as she opened the game interface and was about to check the sewing machine, a message popped up.
