It took three people three or four trips to move this cart of peaches.
Da Mao placed the last basket of peaches in front of the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and called in a low voice: "Aunt, big sister, I've finished moving the peaches, so I'll go back first."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Niannian quickly called someone to stop him, then chased him out and said, "I haven't given you your wages yet."
Da Mao was stunned for a moment, and asked a little funny: "Sister, you remembered wrong, you have already paid your wages."
"It's not Taozi's money, it's your money for helping deliver the goods."
Jiang Niannian explained, then took out three dollars from his pocket and handed it over.
Da Mao waved his hand quickly, "Sister, you are too polite. You buy my peaches and I will deliver them to you. You don't have to pay."
"These are two different things. The uncle and I also agreed on the delivery money."
Jiang Niannian couldn't help but put the money into his hand.
Da Mao was in a bit of a dilemma. It was neither a matter of taking it nor a matter of not taking it.
But remembering his father's instructions, he pushed it back and said, "My father said before he came here that we can't accept this money."
"Why can't you accept it? You deserve this. If it weren't for your help, my daughter and I would have moved there." Xia Xiujuan also chased after him and handed Da Mao a glass of boiled water.
Da Mao held the cup and took a sip. Then he scratched his head in embarrassment and explained: "We actually want you to help us see if there are any factories that need peaches."
Jiang Niannian was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Da Mao meant.
It is estimated that in order to avoid trouble, she said she was ordering from the factory, which led to misunderstanding.
But once the words have been said, there is no reason to take them back.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "I will help you find out."
Da Mao couldn't help smiling when he heard that there was something going on, but he was the stupidest person and didn't know what nice things to say. He could only promise: "Big sister, don't worry, we are all honest people, and we will definitely give it to you when the time comes." Okay, I won’t make you lose face.”
Xia Xiujuan listened on the sidelines, glared at her daughter, and quickly took the money from her hand, stuffed it into her big fur pocket, and said without refusal: "One yard for one yard, you should take this money, We can’t take advantage of you.”
"Yes, you'd better accept the money." Jiang Niannian also said.
"But……"
Da Mao hesitated.
Of course Jiang Niannian knew what the other person was thinking. It was just a favor and he wanted to help him.
But just because I know it, I don’t want to take advantage of the other party.
If she can really help someone, it doesn't matter if she doesn't give her the money.
But what she said at that time was purely to avoid trouble, and she didn't think much about it at all.
As for helping people introduce the factory, how could she be so capable?
Jiang Niannian quickly said: "You are a grown man, so don't be coy. If you don't accept this money, will I have the nerve to trouble you in the future?"
Afraid that he would not agree, he persuaded again: "Just accept it. This is what comes and goes. I'd like you to help me move some goods another day."
Da Mao thought for a while, then he didn't refuse, he just said: "Okay, if you need help pulling goods or something, just come to me. Although I am not smart, I am very strong."
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
"Thank you for your hard work, young man."
After sending the person downstairs, Jiang Niannian and her mother went upstairs and returned to the house.
After entering the house and closing the door, Xia Xiujuan asked in a low voice: "What's going on? What does he mean by factory?"
"I didn't buy a lot at once. I was afraid that others would ask more questions, so I just said it was bought by the factory." Jiang Niannian lowered his head and explained.
"You are really capable. You dare to tell such nonsense. Aren't you afraid that others will find out?"
"Others don't know which factory I work in. Besides, I'm not doing anything bad. What are I afraid of?" Jiang Niannian didn't agree. He held her arm again, pointed at the peaches in the room, and said with some pride: "Mom , how much do you think I spent on these peaches?"
"How much?"
"Only thirty dollars."
"Only 30 yuan?" Xia Xiujuan's eyes widened, she poked her daughter's head, and said anxiously: "You are so arrogant, do you know that your monthly salary is only 35 yuan!"
"I know, isn't it true that peaches are cheap this year? For the same price as last year, I couldn't buy half as much."
When Xia Xiujuan heard this, she almost blacked out and fainted.
In the past, this girl was just a bit stubborn, but at least she had a bright mind.
Now, it’s great, I actually acted stupidly, bought so many peaches, and felt I had taken advantage.
No matter how cheap these peaches are, can they be used as food and fill their stomachs?
Xia Xiujuan's heart bleeds when she mentions this. If these thirty yuan are used to buy noodles, it will be enough to feed the family for half a year!
"Mom, we can use it to make canned yellow peaches." Jiang Niannian said from the side.
"How many cans do we need to make!" Xia Xiujuan stamped her feet anxiously, pulling her to go out. "Let's send it back to others and see how much we can refund. We can give back some money."
"Mom, I don't want to eat it myself, I want to sell it."
Jiang Niannian explained that seeing his mother anxious, he expressed his idea of doing business.
After Xia Xiujuan listened, she was silent for a while and then asked: "Nian Nian, do you have no money on you?"
"No, I just want to be self-reliant and make money on my own." Jiang Niannian said, and explained: "Now is not the past. Doing business is not a shameful and illegal thing. Now our country encourages us to do small businesses."
Seeing that her mother was silent, Jiang Niannian said tentatively: "I heard from people in the factory a few days ago that the factory's performance has not been good in the past few years, and there may be layoffs, or the factory may be dissolved.
I was reading the newspaper in front of me. Some factories in Shanghai have been dissolved and their land has been sold. "
Xia Xiujuan: "Impossible, don't listen to other people's nonsense."
"Maybe, the efficiency of this factory has been poor. Can it really continue to support so many people?"
