Chapter 88: Harvesting Cotton

Jiang Yu listened to her getting more and more outrageous, smiled helplessly, and tapped her head.

"That's enough, what little milk dog, he is one year older than you!"

He Feiyan touched her nose, "I'm talking about personality, it has nothing to do with age."

Jiang Yu stopped talking about Jiang Ye and changed the subject: "Didn't Comrade Huang Zefang like you last time? Did you meet again later?"

"No, he went on a mission and didn't come back." He Feiyan didn't care at all, and it was obvious that she really didn't like Huang Zefang.

Jiang Yu felt a little emotional when he returned to his aunt's house again.

Last time he came to find a partner, this time he came to get married.

"Aunt, Jiang Xin and I are here to bother you

again." Yao Xiangling said angrily, "I am so happy that you can get married from my place. But time is short, you have to hurry up and make your wedding dress."

He Tingyue even prepared the fabric for her, and she was only responsible for making it.

Jiang Yu nodded, "I know what I am doing. I will stay at home and make clothes these days. I will not only make clothes for myself, but also make cotton-padded clothes for aunt."

The cotton that He Tingyue sent last time was as much as 30 kilograms, which was enough for making quilts, not to mention making clothes.

But Yao Xiangling said that she didn't need to worry about the quilts, she only needed to be responsible for making the wedding dress.

In the past two days, Jiang Yu concentrated on preparing the wedding dress at home.

Making a wedding dress is not difficult, but the difficulty is that she doesn't want to wear the same old clothes, and wants to wear the best-looking clothes on her wedding day.

So Jiang Yu took some time to embroider flowers on it, and she went to Xicheng to buy the buttons, which were very unique.

August 18th is the day for banquets in the countryside.

He Tingyue took her out and had a meal in the countryside .

Wang Yunshan had returned to her parents' home earlier and learned that Jiang Yu was getting married, so she simply stayed at her parents' home for two more days, waiting for Jiang Yu to come back for a banquet.

It was not the first time that the two sisters had not seen each other for a long time, but this time, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Wang Yunshan was already married, and she was about to get married.

"How is it, is he good to you?"

Wang Yunshan nodded with a smile, her smile full of sweetness.

"Well, he is really good to me. Jiang Yu, in my life, apart from you, there is really no other person who treats me so well. My parents-in-law are also very good people, a thousand times better than my biological parents."

Wang Yunshan felt the love she lacked in them.

Marrying Lin Chenghui was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

Jiang Yu stroked her face gently, "As long as you are happy."

"What about you? You are going to marry He Tingyue, are you nervous?"

Wang Yunshan remembered that she couldn't sleep the day before her wedding.

Jiang Yu nodded her chin, "It's okay, I am nervous, but more of it is expectation."

Looking forward to starting a new journey in life.

"By the way, last time I asked He Tingyue to buy 30 kilograms of cotton, this is 15 yuan, you count."

The cotton collected from Yunjiao Village is 50 cents per kilogram, not only does it not require a ticket, it is also 15 cents cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative.

She specifically told He Tingyue not to pay in advance, and she paid in person.

Wang Yunshan didn't count it, and put it directly in her pocket.

"If you still want cotton in the future, just tell me. I didn't know before that many people in the village grow cotton and there is no shortage of this stuff."

Jiang Yu's mind moved, and asked: "If you still want it now, do you have it?"

Wang Yunshan nodded without thinking: "Yes! The thirty kilograms of cotton I give you are the extra cotton we have at home. We haven't collected it from the villagers yet."

Jiang Yu suddenly had an idea. Cotton in the countryside does not require tickets, and the price is cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now that winter is approaching, cotton is in short supply on the black market, and many people can't buy cotton.

What if she can collect it and sell it on the black market?

It's a bit risky, but with Liuzi, he has been in the black market for many years and is more suitable than her to come forward.

"Yunshan, can you help me collect 50 kilograms of cotton first, and I'll find someone to pick it up later, okay?"

Wang Yunshan was surprised, "Why do you want so much? You don't want to... Are you crazy!"

Jiang Yu bit his lip, "I'm not sure if it will work, you help me collect it first, if it works, I'll give you a dime or two per kilogram."

Wang Yunshan waved her hands, "Who is arguing with you about money? I'm just worried that something will happen to you! I'll collect the cotton for you, but you have to be careful and can't sell it yourself, do you hear me?"

"I know. I know someone in the black market. I'll let him do the deal. By the way, you can't tell He Tingyue about this, or he'll get angry."

Jiang Yu wanted to see if she could take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. After all, it was her own business to support Jiang Ye's education, and she couldn't put this burden on He Tingyue.

Back in the city, Jiang Yu went to Daxin Hutong to find Liuzi without stopping.

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I have a batch of cotton in my hand. Can I sell it on the black market?"

Liuzi was surprised and asked, "Sister, where are you from?"

Jiang Yu: "Don't worry about it. I just want to ask if you can sell it and how much?"

Liuzi pondered for a moment, "Black market cotton doesn't require tickets. It costs one yuan and one pound."

"So expensive? The supply and marketing cooperative only sells it for sixty-five cents!" Jiang Yu didn't expect the price to be so different.

Liuzi explained, "Cotton is a hot commodity every year, and now that the weather is cold, everyone wants to make a cotton coat. Not to mention one dollar, when the price was the highest, people would buy it at one dollar and fifty cents. Even at this price, many people can't afford it."

There is an information gap between the city and the countryside. The countryside has it but can't sell it, and the city doesn't have it but doesn't know where to buy it.

"Sister, how much do you have?"

Jiang Yu said, "I have fifty kilograms for now."

Liuzi: "Can you buy more? I'll contact someone, and fifty kilograms will be sold in a short while."

Jiang Yu didn't answer in a hurry, but asked, "What price are you going to give me? You can't charge me one dollar at a

time, can you?" "Sister, you can't let me lose a penny, can you?" Liuzi said with a bitter face.

Jiang Yu glared at him, "Isn't this asking you the price?"

Liuzi paused, "How about 90 cents?"

Jiang Yu thought about it, he could earn 10 cents for Wang Yunshan and 30 cents for himself, which was already pretty good.

"Deal! Where do we deliver the goods?"

Liuzi thought about it, of course he had to hide from people.

"Where do you think it's convenient?"

Jiang Yu went over it in her mind and thought of the cornfield.

She had a shadow in that place, but it had to be said that it was very suitable for trading.

"Do you know that there is a cornfield 500 meters away from Funan Commune?"

Liuzi made money on the black market, and he went everywhere to receive goods, naturally he also went to Funan Commune.

"I know, then let's meet there? When?"

"I'll go back and ask today, if it's okay, let's do it tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow is her wedding day, it's not easy to do these things.

Liuzi agreed immediately, "Fifty kilograms is not enough. Sister, if you can do it, I will take whatever you have. The price is only 90 cents. You won't lose money."
