Grandpa Qin sat aside without saying a word. All he could think about was the image of his granddaughter following him into the mountains.
When she was little, she carried her on her back, and when she grew up, she followed him. No pheasant or hare could escape her notice as long as it moved.
Unexpectedly, I would grow up, get married, have a baby, and give birth in a blink of an eye.
He was looking forward to it so much. When his granddaughter's baby was born, he would become his great-grandfather, which made him happy just thinking about it.
The family discussed that Li Yuan would go to the army to take care of Qin Shuangshuang, and got busy the next day.
Qin Liang went to the company to ask. There was a car to Haicheng the day after tomorrow. He applied to ride with him and brought his parents with him. The team leader agreed.
Li Yuan spent a whole day sorting out four large packages.
There are clothes, fabrics, glutinous rice, millet, sweet potato powder, sweet potato and other things in it. Li Yuan brought everything she had at home.
Anyway, we were riding in the van from the work unit, and there were many people going there. Grandpa Qin asked his son and daughter-in-law to catch five hens and take them away, and he also packed fifty or sixty eggs.
They all exchanged things with people from Qinjia Village. The chickens were packed in temporary chicken coops, and the eggs were put in a basket, which was not included in the package.
On the morning of the departure, Qin Jiang and Li Yuan got up early. In Qinling, Qin Liang's bicycle carried a package. Qin Feng was riding Qin Jiang, carrying a chicken coop in his hand.
Li Yuan was riding Qin Mu's bicycle, holding eggs in her hand.
When he arrived in the city, Qin Liang told the driver who was driving, and Qin Feng, Qin Ling, and Qin Mu helped settle his parents. The three of them waited for the car to drive out of the transportation company, and then rode to the place where the stalls were usually set up.
They rented a small house in the city to store their goods and rented it with Qin Mu's buddy.
His parents went to his sister's place. Qin Mu felt that it was time to close the business. If the third brother brought back any goods from Haicheng and their goods were not sold out, it would be very troublesome.
After making up his mind, he told his eldest and second brothers what he wanted, and neither Qin Feng nor Qin Ling had any objections.
Qin Feng said while moving things: "Fourth brother! I don't have any ideas. I will do whatever you say."
Qin Ling nodded: "Yes, my eldest brother and I will listen to you when it comes to business matters."
"Okay! Let's move all the goods out today and try to sell out as much as we can. If we can't sell out, we can continue selling it tomorrow. Third brother must deal with everything before he comes back from Haicheng."
"no problem."
Qin Feng, who was moving the goods, Qin Ling agreed and moved the goods out box by box.
When we arrived at the place, the stalls were spread out, the tape recorders started ringing, and the prizes were laid out. Without any shouting, people buying tapes came over in twos and threes.
Soon, someone won a hot water bottle as a prize.
Tickets for electric fans and TV sets were not released, and today all the lottery winners got were thermos bottles.
Five of them were found in one morning, which greatly increased the probability of winning. People thought the tapes were worth buying.
In order to promote sales, Qin Mu also threw away the tickets for the electric fan in the afternoon.
I plan to get some more prizes, but if I want to clear out my inventory, I have to give up what should be discarded, otherwise I will lose money even if I throw the goods into my hands.
His arrangement was right. Someone took away the electric fan in the afternoon, which completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm to buy the tape and win the big prize.
Seeing that Qin Mu had brought another electric fan over, and the TV set had not been touched, everyone thought that ten yuan was a small thing. If he won the prize, he would make a lot of money.
With a sense of luck, people lined up to buy tapes, and they were reluctant to leave when it was getting dark.
The three brothers of the Qin family simply decided not to go back at night and turned on the lights to set up a night stall. There were still two boxes of tapes left, and when it was about one hundred, fifty or sixty, Qin Mu put the tickets for the TV inside.
An old man brought a five- or six-year-old girl to buy tapes. He bought four tapes, all of which were opera tapes. The old man got two chances to draw the lottery. He drew once by himself and drew nothing.
The little girl reached out and drew once, and actually won the special prize of a television set.
The old man was stunned. He couldn't believe it when he saw the words "Special Prize" in his granddaughter's hand.
"Young man! Is your TV really a prize? I thought you were using it as a gimmick to deceive people."
Qin Mu smiled and explained: "Our prizes are all real, not lies."
Someone nearby testified to the old man: "Their prizes are real. My neighbor won the electric fan, and I want to win too."
"I won the thermos bottle last time, and I also wanted to win the TV this time. I didn't expect the little girl to be so lucky, and she won the lottery. There is still an electric fan left, I will buy it too, and see if I can win. .”
"Then I'll buy it too. My grandma loves to listen to operas. I saw that the old man just bought opera tapes. I'll buy two boxes for her as well."
"There is also an electric fan. I will also buy two boxes. If I don't win, forget it."
Many people think the same way. If they see people buying it, they will buy it too. There is still an electric fan left. If you can win ten yuan, that’s not bad.
The old man got hit by the TV. He laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He discussed with Qin Mu: "Young man! Do you think this is okay? My granddaughter and I can't move this TV. Can I go back and call my son to claim the prize?" ?”
"Okay." Qin Mu did not refuse, "I still have an electric fan that I haven't pulled out here, and I won't be able to leave for a while. It's rare that everyone supports our brother's business so much, and I can't let everyone feel cold at all costs."
The old man said thank you excitedly, took his little granddaughter's hand and left quickly.
Not long after, the last electric fan was also touched, by the person who just said he wanted to buy two boxes of opera tapes to give to his grandmother.
She held up the winning ticket in her hand and jumped up happily: "Ah ah! I won, I won, I won."
A series of shouts aroused the envious eyes of everyone on the side.
The grand prize was taken away, and the others gave up their interest in buying tapes and stood on the sidelines watching.
When the uncle came, he not only brought his son, but also his daughter-in-law. The three of them looked at the TV and felt a little embarrassed.
The uncle's son asked Qin Mu: "Our family already has a TV, can this prize be exchanged for money?"
Qin Mu looked at the uncle's son and replied: "Theoretically, it's not possible. Since you have it at home, you can exchange it into money if you need to.
This is the invoice for the TV. If you like the amount on it, I will give you cash and I will take the TV back to my home for use. "
Qin Feng: "..."
It’s okay. I don’t have a TV at home yet. It would be good to get one so that the elderly and children can enjoy themselves. They can watch it if they have nothing to do.
The uncle's son also knew that his request was too much. He couldn't embarrass the three brothers who set up the stall too much because he picked up things for free.
"Let's do this! You don't have to give us the full amount of money according to the invoice. Just give us two hundred yuan. I think it's not easy for you brothers."
"Thank you!" Qin Mu took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the uncle's son, smiling bitterly, "We have no choice. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the whole family needs to eat and drink, so we have to find a way out."
Qinling: "..."
Fourth child! You pretend to be so, but those who don’t know better think that we are no better than beggars.
