The other party groaned, "I didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age. I won't hide it from you. It's because I like your hair that I can only offer you eight dollars. For ordinary braids, I can only charge five or six dollars at most. There is no higher price than this."
"How about I give you two more pieces to make a total of ten dollars?"
Jiang Qingyue felt that the price was about right, and since she would be busy with other things soon, she readily agreed.
"Ten dollars is ten dollars, but I have a request. You have to keep my hair below my ears. It can't be shorter. Otherwise, I won't sell it to you."
The other party was embarrassed, but finally agreed with reluctance.
"Okay, I'll get you a mirror now, and you can watch me cut your hair."
After cutting her hair, Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt very relaxed and no longer had to worry about washing her hair.
After getting the ten dollars, Jiang Qingyue went straight to the newspaper office, intending to try her luck and see if she had the chance to meet the editor-in-chief.
Who would have known that when I asked, I found out that the editor and the chief editor had gone to the countryside to collect folk songs today.
The other staff members ignored her when they saw she was dressed like a country girl.
Jiang Qingyue saw a special mailbox for submissions at the door, so she wrote down her contact information and mailed it directly.
After leaving the newspaper office, Jiang Qingyue planned to go to the scrap yard.
See if there's any chance of finding old books from high school.
When the old man at the scrap yard heard that she wanted to buy a book, he didn't want to ask any more questions and just waved his hand and let her in.
Jiang Qingyue searched for a long time and finally found all the books for the first and second year of high school until she was sweating profusely.
I was also lucky enough to come across a book called "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry".
He quickly carried them all to the door and asked the old man to help weigh them.
Seeing that she only took these few books, the old man didn't bother to weigh them and just waved his hand, "Just give me one dollar."
Jiang Qingyue looked at the newspapers beside her again and said, "Then I'll get another stack of newspapers."
"Newspapers come in piles of pennies."
Jiang Qingyue took out the money she had earned from selling her braids and found a dollar.
He walked out happily carrying the book.
On the way back to the gathering point, I happened to pass by the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Qingyue took a look from afar and saw that there were quite a few people inside and a wide variety of things were displayed.
It’s a pity that most things require tickets.
Just as Jiang Qingyue was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard someone shouting from behind, "Jiang Qingyue——"
Jiang Qingyue looked over when she heard the voice, and saw a fat girl with a red hairband and indigo work clothes waving at her.
"What's wrong? Old classmate, have you forgotten me after not seeing me for a few months? I was wondering why you haven't come to play with me recently."
Hearing the voice, Jiang Qingyue immediately remembered it.
The girl in front of you is the original owner’s good friend, He Tiantian.
My family lived in the county town, and after I graduating from high school, my family used connections to get me into the supply and marketing cooperative.
The reason why the original owner had no savings was because every time she came to the county, she always asked her to buy things for her.
He Tiantian is also a straightforward person and is always willing to help.
Jiang Qingyue thought this girl was nice, so she smiled at her, "It's been cold lately so I haven't been out much. I saw there were a lot of people inside so I didn't go in to look for you."
He Tiantian patted her shoulder gently, "Why are you so polite to me all of a sudden? By the way, it's a rare visit, do you want to buy something to take back?"
"By the way, let me tell you, today we have a special supply of fresh pork. The meat is really good, and there isn't much left."
Jiang Qingyue replied awkwardly, "But I don't have a meat ticket."
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'll find someone to help with the issue of the hostages. Just give them a little bit of benefit."
When Jiang Qingyue heard that the problem could be solved by adding money, she was also tempted, "What's the price?"
"The fat ones are 75 cents a pound, and the thin ones are 70 cents a pound."
Jiang Qingyue saw that the price was very reasonable and it was a rare opportunity. It wouldn't go bad if she bought more when the weather was cold.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you buy me five kilograms of thin ones?"
"Yes, wait, I'll bring it to you right away."
After getting five kilograms of pork, Jiang Qingyue chatted with her for a few more words and then hurried to catch the bus.
When we got back, almost everyone was there.
When he saw Jiang Qingyue jogging with a basket on her back, he didn't recognize her.
It was not until the person came up to them that they all asked in surprise, "Are you Qingyue? Why are your braids gone?"
Jiang Qingyue climbed into the car breathlessly and explained briefly, "I sold the braid."
"Tsk tsk, good fellow, you sell such a nice braid just like that, how come you are so smart?"
"Yes, your braids were the best in our brigade before. Why are you selling them all of a sudden? Would the educated youth Zhou in your family agree to it?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled awkwardly, "Why not? Besides, the previous braids were too troublesome to wash in winter, so it's more convenient to keep them short."
Everyone looked around twice, and after getting used to it, they actually found it inexplicably beautiful.
"You know what, you look good with short hair, just like the actress in the movie, very fashionable."
"Yeah, I was a little uncomfortable at first glance, but now the more I look at it, the better it looks."
Seeing this, everyone started asking her about the details of selling her hair.
She secretly planned to go back and discuss with her husband whether she should sell it as well.
At least I can sell it for seven or eight dollars!
Fang Ruyun, who was standing opposite, couldn't help but find it funny as she watched everyone asking questions about Jiang Qingyue's short hair.
After all, it's all about money.
If you weren't poor, who would be tempted to cut their hair just by hearing a few words of persuasion from others on the street?
Thinking about it this way, it must be that Brother Zhou was unwilling to spend money on this woman, so she had to sell her hair to please Brother Zhou.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruyun couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
......
When the tractor entered the village, we could see from afar workers heading home after work.
However, when Jiang Qingyue returned, Zhou Zhengting was not at home.
Jiang Qingyue put down her things and planned to cut a piece of pork to send to her mother's house.
I received so much food from my mother's family before, and if I pay them back directly, they will definitely not accept it. I can only compensate them slowly.
Jiang Qingyue wrapped the meat in paper and put it in the basket.
As soon as they arrived at the door of Jiang's house, they heard the second brother and his wife arguing in the yard.
The second brother Jiang Weimin was holding a cabbage and a handful of vermicelli in his hand, but was stopped by his second sister-in-law Liu Chunlan.
"Why are you asking me to do this? These are worthless things grown at home. What's wrong with me giving some to my sister?"
Liu Chunlan glared at her angrily. "You are really enough. As soon as you heard that someone was buying meat, you rushed to send the side dishes. Why didn't she say she would send a piece of the meat for us to eat?"
Jiang Weimin was about to argue with her when he saw Jiang Qingyue walking in.
"Girl, why are you here?"
Jiang Qingyue smiled and took the piece of meat out of the basket. "I went to the county to buy some meat today. I'll bring some over for you."
Jiang Weimin thought that the girl might have heard what the two had just said, and he couldn't help but glared at Liu Chunlan next to him.
Then he said guiltily, "Meat is so expensive, you can just keep it for yourself, why are you sending it here?"
