Chapter 122 Buying Bamboo Tubes
Seeing Zhang Jinlan's serious expression.
Ma Chunxia finally reacted. She smiled innocently and called out "Sister Jinlan".
It brought the two of them closer together.
"I told you, there's no upper limit, you can take as much as you want."
Zhang Jinlan sat back on the bench.
Jiang Fubao wanted to laugh when he saw it.
Grandma Chunxia's expression changed so quickly.
He was full of disbelief just now, but now he is extremely flattering.
"Whatever you have, take it. Sister Jinlan, your business is so big? Can you tell me what you sell?"
Ma Chunxia lowered her voice, bent over and approached Zhang Jinlan and asked.
"Mung bean soup and pancakes are small businesses. It's very busy, but I just make hard-earned money."
Zhang Jinlan naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
Her relationship with Ma Chunxia was only slightly better than that of some people in the village who would quarrel whenever they met.
It's just a superficial friendship.
"No wonder. I saw you buying mung beans everywhere in the village before. The villagers said you wanted to sell them in town and make a few cents. So you were selling mung bean soup. Where are you on such a hot day?"
Ma Chunxia asked again.
"I didn't set up a stall. After all, I had to cook mung bean soup every day, and it was inconvenient to set up a stall. So I rented a small shop, so I couldn't make much money. The rent of the shop was too expensive, and the capital was there. If I set up a stall, I could make some money.
Oh, I regret it, but I have already paid the rent for the shop, what else can I do? I have to bite the bullet and do it. Oh, the more I think about it, the more worried I get. I have been busy for several months, but I don’t earn as much as doing odd jobs.”
Zhang Jinlan frowned and sighed.
Ma Chunxia believed it 100%.
"Tsk tsk, you should have thought it through in advance. Now you can't get out of this. So, I'll make a hundred bamboo tubes first. When you don't have enough, tell me and I'll continue."
Ma Chunxia didn't dare to go long.
She was afraid that Zhang Jinlan couldn't give the money.
"It's okay, just do it with peace of mind. I still have this little money. I just hope I can sell more. I will feel at ease if I can earn enough rent."
Zhang Jinlan understood the meaning of her words.
I know what Ma Chunxia is thinking.
She raised her hand.
This gave Ma Chunxia some peace of mind.
"Okay, I'll take them to the foot of the mountain to cut bamboo later. Anyway, there's nothing to do after dinner except taking a walk. I'll make a batch for you tomorrow morning."
After Ma Chunxia finished speaking, she turned and walked into the main room without waiting for Zhang Jinlan to answer.
Suddenly, the sound of many people talking could be heard from inside.
Zhang Jinlan hugged Jiang Fubao and left.
I haven't even sat down yet when I got home.
I saw a group of people walking past my house.
Looking closely, it was Ma Chunxia's family.
"What an impatient person." Zhang Jinlan shook her head helplessly.
"Grandma, didn't you say before that you would buy Chunxia's three bamboo tubes for one penny? How come it became five now?"
Jiang Fubao sat on his own little chair, tilted his head, and asked grandma.
"A little bit of kindness is rewarded with a big bit of resentment. We sell bamboo tubes for one cent each, so even if we spend one cent to buy two from her family, we will still make a profit. But small favors and small profits can make the relationship between our two families go further. If her family earns more, who knows what they might think of. But earning ten cents a day will only make her family please us. I am afraid that this way of making money will be gone.
Fubao, you are still young and don't know how to behave in society. Remember, if you have a good playmate in the future, you must not help her too much, understand? And grandma just said that the shop is not profitable, and she deliberately concealed it. If your grandma Chunxia let it slip, the villagers will target our family. "
Zhang Jinlan took her granddaughter's hand and kneaded it gently.
But she looked outside the door.
"Okay, I understand, grandma, let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy."
Jiang Fubao nodded heavily, she yawned, and felt sleepy all of a sudden.
At this moment, the sunset is about to fade away.
The sky darkened considerably.
My grandmother helped me wash my body.
Jiang Fubao filled the basin under the bed with frozen meat, then crawled into bed and went to sleep.
She was covered with a thin blanket.
After sleeping for a while, the door was opened.
It’s Zhang Yanzi.
After covering her daughter with the quilt, she left a kiss on her forehead.
"Fubao fell asleep? Let me take a look."
Jiang Siyin also walked in quietly.
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Yanzi put her index finger in front of her mouth: "Shh! Don't disturb her, our daughter is asleep, let's go."
Zhang Yanzi pulled him out of the door.
Then I went to see my two sons.
The couple returned to the house.
"Wife, you smell so good~"
The moment the door closes.
Jiang Siyin hugged Zhang Yanzi.
His voice was originally very pleasant, and now it had a bit of hoarseness and sweetness.
"Nonsense, it's obviously the smell of sweat, how can the fragrance come from that?"
Zhang Yanzi glanced at him.
It's obviously dark in the room.
But I can still see my husband's handsome face.
Zhang Yanzi's cheeks flushed slightly.
"I don't care, you just smell good, my wife~" Jiang Siyin started to act coquettishly, and Zhang Yanzi couldn't stand it at all.
The two of them lay down on the bed.
In the house on the other side.
Sun Pingmei hugged Jiang Eryong and said quietly, "Husband, let's have another daughter."
Her words scared Jiang Eryong, who was lying down, so much that he sat up immediately.
"Give birth to a bullshit, I see you just aren't tired, tomorrow let Siyin switch jobs with you, you go fetch water from the river."
"Husband, if you don't want to have a baby, then we can..."
The words were not finished.
Jiang Eryong quickly lay down, turned over and closed his eyes.
"I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."
He was exhausted every day when he went to town.
There is no idea in my mind at all.
"Hmph, I won't let you sleep!" But Sun Pingmei didn't let him go at all.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop pulling my pants. They're going to fall off, you stinky bitch. I think you deserve to be punished."
"Hmph, take care of me."
Sun Pingmei gave a coquettish sound.
Jiang Eryong turned around immediately.
It was a beautiful night, but there were slight vibrations in several rooms of the Jiang family.
"Boom boom boom——"
"Are you there, Sister Jinlan? I'm here to give you a bamboo tube—"
Jiang Fubao was awakened by knocking on the door and voices.
She sat up in bed and stretched.
Only after finishing all the things she needed to do every day would she put on her clothes and shoes and walk out of the house.
I happened to see Ma Chunxia from next door standing in the yard talking to her grandmother.
Two people followed her.
Each carried a large bamboo basket.
They are Ma Chunxia’s sons, Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu.
"Last night, my family had nothing to do, so we made a few more. Here, there are a hundred in total. Check the number."
Ma Chunxia finished speaking.
Jiang Liwen and Jiang Liwu put the bamboo basket on the ground and took a step back.
They glanced at their mother sideways.
What are you doing?
It was clearly done until the second half of the night.
I have to get up before the Jiang family goes to town.
I'm so sleepy.
The two yawned and tears came out.
"Okay, no need to count. I trust you. We agreed that five coins are one cent. Here, twenty coins. Take it."
