Chapter 120 Candied Haws
Xu and others sold vegetables in Songjianghe Market. They had contacted more people and were naturally more informed.
Two days later, Xu brought back the latest news, saying that the Liu family and the Cui family had already married.
"The wife Liu Wendong married today was held at the canteen of the ingredient factory. I heard that the groom did not show up.
Mom, you said that the old Cui family is really cruel and just pushed their daughter into the fire pit.
Liu Wendong is like that. What good life can Baoxia have when she married?
I heard that the Liu family gave the Cui family a lot of money. Oh, for the sake of money, I ruined my daughter for the rest of my life?"
After dinner, the children went back to the house to read books and the adults sat together chatting, and Xu told the news they heard.
"Oh, the old Cui family is so conscientious. How can we do this?
Then Baoxia was wrong, and her reputation has been ruined now, but even so, she wouldn't have to marry into the Liu family, right?
After a while, I waited for a year or two to say less gossip, so I found a marriage far away to marry. Even if I was a little poor, it was for my daughter's rest of my life.
Now that he is so disabled, what can he do if he has money? I don’t know how difficult it will be for the rest of the day." Han Caiying sighed from the side.
I either sympathize with Cui Baoxia or feel that the Cui family has no human feelings when doing things like this, and that is his own daughter.
"Yes, even if Baoxia's reputation is ruined, she doesn't have to marry into the Liu family.
The Cui family is greedy for money and finally holds the Liu family's thigh, but they refuse to let go no matter what. They don't care about how Baoxia will live in the future? As long as they can get the money in their hands, it's fine." Old Mrs. Zhou snorted.
"It's rumored that Baoxia is there, and the Cui family is afraid that it can't be covered up, so even if they know what Liu Wendong is like, they are rushing to marry their daughter."
A few people came to my house during the day, and they also talked about this when chatting, and everyone was guessing this.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about their bullshit affairs. How Cui Baoxia's future life has nothing to do with us.
Everyone is willing to fight and be beaten and be beaten. The Cui and Liu family are all happy. It is useless to worry about those worries.
It’s getting late, and my wives are very tired when they go to the market during the day, so they all go back and rest early.
Tomorrow is twenty-nine, the last three baskets of bean sprouts will be sold. The day after tomorrow we will be at home for the New Year." On the other end, Mr. Zhou knocked his cigarette pipe and asked everyone to rest.
Everyone has been very busy these days and is very tired. Since the old man has spoken, everyone has gotten up and went back to the house to rest.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the last three baskets of bean sprouts of the Zhou family arrived at the market and were surrounded by a group of people.
The Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, who will come out to sell vegetables? If you don’t grab it today, there will be nothing left.
Many people were rushing to buy it, and the price also rose all the way. From the beginning of the morning, it was sold at 30 cents per kilogram, but later it was sold at 50 cents per kilogram. In the end, Xu and Han Caiying settled the score and sold it for more than 30 yuan more than usual.
"My brother and sister, I regret it. We should soak more baskets of beans. Look at what time? All three baskets of bean sprouts have been sold out.
Still sweet and have many ideas. Why didn’t we expect it two years ago?” Xu said with regret, looking at the money in his hand and the empty wooden trough.
"Next year, we must prepare more for the New Year next year." Before the New Year passed, Xu thought about the New Year next year.
"Sister-in-law, let's talk about next year's events. We have made money this year, but we may not be able to learn from next year." Han Caiying smiled and shook her head when she heard this.
"Let's go home. The New Year's goods we should buy these days are all there. No need to buy anything. Let's go back and help your family. The New Year will be in the future tomorrow."
When Xu heard this, he was right. People like to follow the trend. They made money this year and kept someone following the trend next year. Forget it, it’s still early. Let’s talk about it later.
"Yes, go home quickly. Our mother said she still had to steam buns today and go back to help." So the sister-in-law led the young couple of Yongping and Lin Fang to pull the sledge and walk back.
"Mom, we are back. The bean sprouts are sold very quickly today. Tiantian, come here quickly. My uncle bought you candied haws."
Xu took two bright red candied haws in his hand, and walked in with a smile, and stuffed them directly into Zhou Tiantian's hand.
"I met on the way back. It looks very good. This thing is sour and sweet. The little girl loves it."
"Oh, you guys are all back? Look, I'm just patronizing the candied haws, but I didn't see you."
Xu turned his head and happened to see the second and fourth families of the family. He hurriedly asked, "When will we get home?"
Although Zhou Anguo and his family have been separated, they come back to reunite every year during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family should be together for a lively reunion.
"Sister-in-law, we just entered the door not long ago. My mother said that you and your third brother and sister didn't rest during the Chinese New Year, and they even sent bean sprouts to the market. I was suffering from this cold weather."
Chen Xiuchun stood up with a smile, took a towel and helped Xu's snow on his shoulders and hat. "The snow this year is so heavy, one after another."
Only then did Xu notice that she was anxious to give her little niece candied haws, forgetting that it was snowing outside and there was a lot of snow on her body.
"Yes, the snow is not small this year, it's good that it's heavy, and it's not dry in spring." Xu took the towel with a smile, lowered his head and patted his clothes.
"Tiantian, why don't you eat candied haws? My uncle bought it for you.
If it weren't for the idea given by our Tianniu, how could we earn hundreds of dollars in a few days? Apart from buying New Year's goods, there would be a lot left." Seeing Zhou Tiantian was stunned when she was holding the candied haws, Xu asked.
Zhou Tiantian was staring blankly with candied haws. There was no fruit produced in the local area, let alone hawthorns. She really didn't expect there would be candied haws. "Oh my aunt, how much does this thing cost?"
"What's wrong with fifty cents a bunch? I think it's expensive?
Of course it is expensive. The string is only seven or eight hawthorns, and a little sugar is actually not much.
However, if this thing is not used as food or food, it may not be possible to buy it once a year. No matter how expensive it is, I will be willing to buy it for our sweet girl." Xu thought that Zhou Tiantian felt sorry for the money.
"Don't worry, the bean sprouts were sold very well today. I sold a few servings of 30 cents at the beginning, and basically 40 cents at the end, and 50 cents per pound at the end.
Change a pound of bean sprouts to a bunch of candied haws, and you can afford it for our sweet girl." Xu smiled and comforted Zhou Tiantian.
When Zhou Tiantian heard that her aunt had misunderstood, she immediately shook her head, "Auntie, don't you know if you can buy hawthorn? This candied haws seems to be quite profitable."
