"Is the trip going well?"
There are a lot of things to pack up later, Lu Aihua doesn't care about the electricity bill anymore, and lights up the lights in her room.
This small courtyard is not big, with a total of two bedrooms, except for the one where Yan Chu and his wife lived before, there is only one bedroom for the old lady.
Fortunately, people here are used to sleeping on the kang, and the people in the city are no exception. When they were on the kang, they grew a little longer. Now the five girls are sleeping in the same room with the old lady, and they are only two years old, and they are still babies. younger son.
But the children are growing up, and it is impossible to live like this forever. There are six children and one old man, seven mouths to support, and money to build a house. Sell it for 1 yuan, and then become a bad guy, earning this terrible money.
The sound of Yan Chu carrying things into the room was quite loud, and with the chirping of several daughters who did not lower their voices, the chubby little son lying on the kang was quickly woken up, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he was about to cry howl.
It was still the older girl who would coax the younger brother, seeing the younger brother pouting his lips and looking aggrieved, she held him in her arms and shook him, and finally he fell asleep before he cried.
"Pearl Emerald, keep your voice down, don't wake up my brother again."
Yan Jin glared at the four younger sisters and said in a low voice, although she didn't say clearly about Yan Chu's own father, she also complained in her heart just by looking at the complaining little eyes.
Complaining that they are inappropriate, if the demon star Yan Yuanbao is woken up, the whole family will not have to sleep tonight.
Speaking of which, the name of this family is also quite random. Originally, the eldest daughter was born, and thinking of having a son in the next child, they named the eldest daughter Yan Jin. In the future, the son will be called Yuan Bao, and the combination will be Jin Yuan Bao.
But who knew that Yan Zhen, Yan Zhu, Yan Fei, and Yan Cui were born one after another, and after the sixth child, she gave birth to her son Yan Yuanbao.
This is the way it is in this age. If you don’t have a son, you have to have another child. Otherwise, even if you don’t care about it yourself, other people’s spittle will drown you. Can give birth to a husband's family.
Original body's wife is such a sensitive woman, and her mother is patriarchal. She always thinks that the most important thing in a woman's life is to have a son, but in the end, she threw her life away for the sake of her son. up.
She was only twenty-eight when she gave birth to her sixth child, and she also had the experience of giving birth before, but she was destined to have this catastrophe. When the baby was in the wrong fetal position, when she was sent to the hospital, she only managed to give birth to the baby, and the baby bleeds profusely died.
Before that, Yuanshen's wife worked as a temporary worker in the factory cafeteria, and the husband and wife could barely make ends meet to support their five daughters. But now that the wife is dead, there is another child waiting to be fed. If Yuanshen doesn't want to find ways to earn money, the whole family will Almost can't survive.
"Sister, we will keep our voices quiet."
The little girls covered their mouths and said softly, and winked at the elder sister Yan Jin, smiled flatteringly, then turned their heads to look at the two big packages brought by their father, wanting to see what father brought them something.
"Da Jin, take your younger siblings to sleep in Dad's room tonight. Dad and your grandma have things to tidy up tonight."
From the current point of view, Yan Chu thinks that the children of the original body are pretty good, and the relationship between the sisters is also good. Later, they will become such a person who turned his face for money. Apart from his own reasons, maybe it has nothing to do with the original body's education. not open.
"Dad, I'm very good, let me keep it."
Four-year-old Yan Fei and Yan Cui are twins, each of the two girls hugged their father's leg, and they never took their eyes off the package.
Before Dad left, he said that he would bring them beautiful little skirts. They had been looking forward to it for a month, so how could they want to miss this day.
"Jade, don't mess with Dad."
Yan Jin is the eldest sister with the calmest personality. Although she is also a little disappointed in not being able to watch her father and grandma unpack the package, she still hugs her sleeping brother sensiblely and urges her younger sisters to go to the next room with her.
"Hurry up and go to the next room with the quilt in your arms. Whoever moves slowly will have no eggs tomorrow."
The old lady's threats are more effective than Yan Jin's words, and the fragrant eggs are more attractive than the beautiful dresses she has never seen before.
Yan Fei and Yan Cui let go of their hands holding their father's thighs, hugged their little quilt and pillow in aggrieved manner and left slowly, closing the door behind them.
"With so many things, have you spent all your money?"
The old lady watched as her son opened the nylon bag, took out a large bag of flour from under a pile of seafood and a change of clothes, then untied the bag of flour, reached directly into the bag of flour, and took out several boxes wrapped in yellow paper. These are relatively rare watches and radios these days.
In addition, the son searched again and sorted out forty or fifty pieces of beautiful clothes for children. The styles were not available here. Just by looking at them, one could imagine how beautiful the clothes would be on the body.
Most of these clothes belong to children, and there are not many clothes for adults.
The old lady helped her son sort things out, including the most expensive watches and radios, new clothes, and another pile of dried seafood and scallops.
The things in the two nylon bags are miscellaneous and messy. The same is clothes, and there are a lot of them in the two nylon bags. On the top layer, there is another layer with seafood in the middle, so that the things can be placed separately. At first glance, it seems that there are not many types of each type. When they are sorted out and piled up, the number will be quite a lot.
Looking at these things, Lu Aihua felt that she had spent a lot of money. Her son took almost all the money from the family on this trip, and she didn't know if she could sell it at that time.
"It doesn't cost much."
Yan Chu smiled, picked up his clothes, and took out his wallet from the interlayer: "I brought a thousand dollars this trip, and now there are more than three hundred left."
"These things cost so much money?"
The old lady was surprised and asked, the neighbor next door spent 110 yuan on a radio, and the radio her son bought was a bit smaller than the one in that family’s house. She thought the price might not be much less. Counting one hundred yuan each, the three in front of her now cost at least three hundred yuan.
"Many small workshops have been opened in Shencheng, and some state-owned factories have begun to accept private orders. This kind of radio does not need a ticket in Shencheng, and you can buy it for only 70 yuan. There are also these watches, which are not of any brand, but The advantage is that the price is cheap, I bought 20 of them, and the purchase price is only 15 yuan each, while the same type of watch can be sold for at least 30 to 40 yuan here."
Yan Chu took those watches and the radio and explained to the old lady: "There are also these clothes. The price in Shencheng is about the same as that in Baijian. That is to say, I buy less and the price is a little higher. On average, each piece of clothes is less than ten yuan. money."
"Less than ten yuan?"
Lu Aihua's mouth was wide open. Now the supply and marketing cooperatives still need coupons to buy things. To make clothes by yourself, besides the difficulty of getting together the coupons, you have to spend at least a dozen dollars, and the style is not as exquisite as the clothes in front of you.
Especially some of the small skirts, which are trimmed with lace, the old lady has never seen such beautiful clothes in her life. If they are placed in the big shopping malls here, they will sell for at least fifty or sixty.
No wonder so many people are willing to take the risk of being a loser. This is a huge profit.
The old lady did the calculations in her mind. It is conservatively estimated that the two big bags can earn six or seven hundred, which is equivalent to half a year's income of her son when he was a worker.
"But this line of business is also quite risky."
Yan Chu recounted how he was almost caught by the police when he came back, and he didn't forget to mention the unlucky guy who was stolen by the police. The old lady was startled, she grabbed his hand and read Amitabha.
"It's so dangerous, let's stop doing it in the future, and stop after selling the things we earned this trip."
Compared with money, of course the son is more important, the old lady was heartbroken, and said while holding his hand.
"Why don't you do it? The second cousin is responsible for the work. If you really stop, the whole family will starve to death."
Yan Chu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on in my heart. Those police officers are just going through the motions in a hurry. As long as I'm tough enough, I'll be fine."
His consolation didn't work at all. The old lady felt uneasy if she thought about being caught doing this, she would have to go to jail, but her son was right. If you don't do the work that is bad for the master, there are still six children in the family, what will you do in the future
"Mom, get me a bowl of noodles. In order to save money these days, I'm willing to eat three steamed buns a day on the train, but I'm so hungry."
Yan Chu rubbed his stomach, and handed the bag of flour used to hold watches and radios to the old lady.
The watch and radio were wrapped in clean yellow paper and put in a flour sack, not dirty at all.
"You big man eat three steamed buns a day?"
The old lady raised her voice, feeling even more sore in her heart, she immediately got off the kang and walked down to her son with a three-inch golden lotus.
After eating a bowl of noodles and taking a shower, the mother and son began to sort out the things that had been sorted on the kang. The old lady locked all the valuables such as watches in the cabinet, so they were relieved.
It was just the pile of clothes, and the mother and son had a little dispute.
"Before I left, I agreed to buy beautiful dresses for Da Jin and his sisters. How many days have the little girls been looking forward to?"
When the old lady heard that those clothes were also sold for money, she couldn't help but speak for her granddaughters.
"Mom, seeing that Dajin and the others are growing up, there must be a few more houses in the family. Dajin and Erzhen are also at the age, and they should go to school. There are places where money is spent everywhere. Blame me as a father." It is useless to give them a good life."
The wisher said that only the necessary expenses will be given to the children before they are eighteen years old. In this way, beautiful little dresses will definitely not be included in the necessary expenses.
Studying is different. No one can say that studying is not a necessary expense. Yan Chu felt that the original owner suffered a loss in his previous life because he gave a few children good financial conditions, but did not enrich their spiritual world. Come the other way.
Yan Chu's heart immediately softened when he heard the old lady's words.
How difficult it is for her son, he eats three steamed buns a day to save money, isn't he thinking about the children's future? , will be added.
In this way, in the sleep of several children, they missed the beautiful little dress they had been thinking about day and night.
