Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it. I’ll think of a solution tomorrow!
Yi Xiaoqiu closed his eyes, pulled the quilt over him, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Yi Xiaoqiu had no plans to peel corn to earn work points, so he lay on the kang and slept all morning.
It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that she reluctantly got up and put on her clothes.
The weather in October was already quite cold. When I opened the door, the cold wind blew into my neck.
Yi Xiaoqiu shrank back in fear, "What's the matter?"
Standing outside the door were Xie Zhiqing and Lu Zhiqing.
They went out to dig ditches early in the morning, and when they came back from work at noon, the first thing they did was to see if Yi Zhiqing had gone to the Yishe.
"Yi Zhiqing, didn't you go out yesterday?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Xingzhi's face.
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "I've already been there and come back. Come in and talk first!"
Yi Xiaoqiu dared to say that he had returned from the Xi Society, so he had the confidence.
It was not yet time to really rest. The men dug ditches to earn work points, while the women went to the auditorium to peel corn.
There were no lazy people at the educated youth site. Everyone went out early in the morning. Even Chu Zhiqing followed the female student to peel corn early in the morning.
Tianchen Ruofei did not ask for leave and went to peel corn to earn work points early in the morning.
Song Ying went out to sell pork early in the morning, and Yi Xiaoqiu was the only one sleeping in the house at the educated youth point. As for whether she went out or not, no one knew.
She said this without fear of being exposed.
Yi Xiaoqiu welcomed the two into the house, and without waiting for them to ask, he went straight to the point:
"My uncle has already agreed. You and Shen Ruofei will go together tomorrow. I have prepared 50 kilograms of cotton for you. We will pay you after the cotton is sold."
Yi Xiaoqiu knew why Xie Zhiqing came, and he also knew that the two of them didn't have much money, so he didn't plan to let them pay first and then take the goods.
She guessed that the two men didn't have any golden fingers, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.
Since the two of them don't have a golden finger, for safety reasons we definitely can't give them too much goods at once. Fifty kilograms is enough for retail sales.
Xie Xingzhi and Lu Hengan were not unhappy about it, as they didn't know how much goods Shen Ruofei took each time.
But even if they knew, they wouldn't think too much about it. They have been selling it for a long time and have their own ways. They are just starting out, so they have less goods and the pressure is not that great.
"Yi Zhiqing, thank you so much!" Xie Xingzhi excitedly grabbed Yi Xiaoqiu's hand.
How could they not be excited? They originally planned to sell some food to collect a few dollars and buy a few kilograms of cotton to slowly accumulate capital. Unexpectedly, they were given 50 kilograms of cotton directly without being paid in advance.
I don't think this was something Yi Zhiqing fought for them.
Lu Huaian and the others were extremely moved.
"Yi Zhiqing, when I make money, I will treat you to braised pork!" Xie Xingzhi promised, patting his chest.
It's really rare to have Xie Xingzhi, a guy who guards his food, treat me to red meat.
"Well, then I wish you a great cotton sale!"
They are selling a lot of cotton, and their own cotton is also selling a lot of cotton.
They earn money, and they earn it on their own.
After lunch, Yi Xiaoqiu had nothing to do, so he followed Shen Ruofei to the company auditorium to peel corn.
It is called an auditorium, but it is just an empty house with only one room facing the door. It is much larger than the main rooms of other people's houses. Outside the door is an open and flat threshing ground. Any activities in the company are held here.
The last time a movie was shown was in this threshing ground.
The weather was nice that day, and the old ladies and young wives sat in a circle outside the door, peeling corn, chatting and laughing, making it very lively.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked around and was slightly surprised to see Liu Xiaoping and Gao Xiaowen peeling corn as if nothing had happened.
These two people have really strong mental qualities.
Last night, Liu Xiaoping tricked Gao Xiaowen into opening the door and lured her brother-in-law into the room. She didn't expect that their relationship was still so good. It seemed that Gao Xiaowen might be quite happy about it.
When Gao Xiaowen saw Yi Xiaoqiu coming over, he subconsciously glanced at the old thin cotton jacket on his body, and a hint of jealousy flashed across his face.
Liu Xiaoping lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
The weather in October of the lunar calendar has already turned cold. Although it has not snowed, many people have already put on thin cotton jackets.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought that she was just peeling corn, so she put on her newly made beige cotton-padded jacket with small floral patterns, the style of which was the common double-breasted cotton-padded jacket nowadays. She wore black leggings and a pair of new leather shoes she had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
To be honest, these clothes seemed a bit rustic to Yi Xiaoqiu, but in order not to expose herself, she had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to make such clothes for her.
The clothes that Yi Xiaoqiu thought were tacky were still very fashionable in the eyes of others. Not only were they new from head to toe, but the pair of shoes on her feet were extremely expensive.
Many people looked at Yi Xiaoqiu's outfit and once again reminded themselves of Yi Xiaoqiu's financial resources.
It hasn't snowed yet! I put on a new cotton-padded jacket so early, and it's still thin. When the weather gets really cold, I'll have to prepare a thicker cotton-padded jacket!
Isn't that a waste? Who wears two cotton-padded jackets in winter? Everyone wears one jacket for the entire winter. The discerning ones wash it once a month, while the undiscerning ones don't wash it all winter.
Unless she doesn't plan to go out in winter and wears a thin cotton coat indoors.
Several old ladies looked at Yi Xiaoqiu's clothes and exchanged glances with each other.
Yi Xiaoqiu had no idea what everyone was thinking, so he and Shen Ruofei found an empty seat and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Gao Xiaowen across from her spoke.
"Yi Zhiqing, you came here wearing new clothes. Those who know you will know that you are here to work, while those who don't will think that you are here to show off."
When she saw the new clothes on Yi Xiaoqiu, she thought of how she had been beaten up by a scoundrel for trying to get some cloth to make new clothes, and she became angry.
The scoundrel said that he suffered a loss at the hands of Yi Xiaoqiu, so he beat her and Liu Xiaoping just to vent his anger.
Yi Xiaoqiu raised her eyelids and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
Liu Xiaoping said softly, "Xiao Wen didn't mean anything else. He was just worried that you might get your new clothes dirty."
Liu Xiaoping was also feeling unhappy. They had cloth, but no cotton!
Liu Xiaoping dreams of having the cotton coat on Yi Xiaoqiu.
Yi Xiaoqiu wanted to say: Do you live by the sea? Why do you care so much?
But when her eyes fell on Shen Ruofei, she swallowed her words again, "These are my own clothes, I can wear them however I want, I don't need you to worry about me."
Shen Ruofei didn't have a good impression of these two people. She rolled her eyes and said, "That's right, do you think you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy!"
Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help laughing. Could it be that Shen Ruofei was the roundworm in her stomach? How could she know what she wanted to say?
Liu Xiaoping clasped her fingers tightly in her palms, her face filled with grievance. "I thought we were all educated youth, so I just showed some concern. Is that not okay?"
Gao Xiaowen was delighted, and with a sly expression on his face, he looked at Yi Xiaoqiu and the others. "That's right, Yi Zhiqing, we've lived under the same roof for so long. We've taken good care of you, haven't we? If it weren't for the two of us, you and Yi Zhiqing...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, a thick and big corn bud hit Gao Xiaowen in the face. Gao Xiaowen's eyes went dark and two streams of hot blood flowed from his nostrils.
Yi Xiaoqiu used a little force when he threw the corn cob in his hand.
