When Su Yue saw some people passing by her on a bicycle, she couldn't help being envious. She also wanted a bicycle so that she didn't have to rely on her legs wherever she went.
But in this era, bicycles are expensive, costing more than two hundred yuan, and if you have money, you still have to have industrial tickets, and industrial tickets are hard to get, so there are very few people with cars.
What's more, all her belongings now are only a few dozen dollars, and she can't afford a bicycle wheel.
This is probably the poorest period of her life.
Wu Xiaoxiao and Mao Lin were going to the supply and marketing agency to look at fabrics. Li Xiaoqing also planned to buy some personal items. Su Yue was afraid of delaying them, so she let them go first.
After they left, Su Yue stayed on the spot and rested for a while. After she recovered most of her strength, she stood up with the basket and walked to the supply and marketing agency.
She didn't plan to sell at the market. This method was still dangerous. She planned to go directly to the supply and marketing agency to quietly look for customers.
Su Yue stood not far from the entrance of the supply and marketing agency and observed. After a long time of observation, she saw a stylishly dressed woman in her thirties coming out of it, holding a can and an oil paper bag in her hand. What you are holding seems to be eating.
At first glance, this woman is not short of money at home.
Su Yue's eyes lit up, no longer hesitating, she walked straight up and stopped the woman.
When the woman looked suspiciously, Su Yue smiled slightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want to buy some chicken cake? The chicken cake I made by myself is delicious and delicious."
The woman thought she was being stopped by someone to sell her own stuff again, but she was impatient, and she was about to wave her hand and leave immediately, but she was attracted by the "chicken cake".
She hasn't heard of chicken cake yet.
Out of curiosity, the woman did not leave, but asked: "What chicken cake?"
Seeing that there was a play, Su Yue immediately opened a corner of her basket, revealing the golden cake inside, "Sister, look, this is my own chicken cake, it's very delicious, you will know if you taste it."
Su Yue didn't say anything else and stuffed a piece for this elder sister, and the woman didn't hesitate, she just tasted it, because it was too sweet, and it tasted delicious.
At this entrance, the woman was taken aback. She didn't expect it to smell delicious and taste even more delicious. She had never eaten such a delicious cake.
Now the woman didn't hesitate at all and asked directly: "Sister, how do you sell this chicken cake?"
Su Yue knew that the business was completed, and quietly said, "Sister, there are so many people here, let's go to the alley over there and talk."
The woman nodded clearly, followed Su Yue over, and introduced herself as she walked, "My name is Jiang, you just call me Sister Jiang."
Su Yue yelled to Sister Jiang in a kind-hearted manner. When there was no one in the alley, she completely opened her cover and said, "Sister Jiang, we made this by ourselves. We couldn't buy it outside. You tasted it too, I won’t waste time. It’s a dime and fifty dollars. How many dollars do you think?"
"Five cents?" Sister Jiang was slightly surprised. She wanted to say that it was too expensive, but when she thought of the taste, she felt that it was not expensive. It was much better than the pastries sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives. It was delicious and beautiful. If you can’t buy it, there is a lot of weight. Buying this to give away is better than the stuff in the supply and marketing cooperative.
It just so happens that her family is going to prepare gifts to give away, but all the things in her hand are bought as gifts.
Sister Jiang immediately looked at Su Yue's basket and said, "Sister, I want all of your chicken cake, but you have to give me a cheaper one."
Su Yue was pleasantly surprised. She thought she would take three or four yuan at most, but she didn’t expect that she would pack it all at once. It was really great. She immediately packed up the chicken cake quickly, "Okay, Sister Jiang, I What if you wiped all the bits?"
Sister Jiang was also very happy that Su Yue was refreshed. They just paid the money and the cakes, and the business was completed.
When Sister Jiang was leaving, she said to Su Yue: "Sister, my house is in the family building behind the textile factory. If you make something delicious next time, bring it to me, and I want it. "
Su Yue reluctantly agreed.
Touching the money in her pocket, Su Yue almost wanted to sing a song. She sold for three and a half cents on this order, and the cost was less than fifty cents. In other words, she made almost three yuan at a time.
Although three yuan sounds very small to modern people, it may not even be enough to buy a popsicle, but in the 70s, it was a lot of money. Everyone’s envy of factory workers is only about 40 a month, which is equivalent to about one yuan a day, and three yuan is equivalent to three days’ wages for a factory employee.
Su Yue's heart is happier than she earns tens of millions in a month in Hyundai.
After making money, Su Yue wanted to buy it.
She went to the Jishang, spent money to buy five kilograms of rice with no votes from the local farmers, and bought fine noodles with no votes. Seeing that there were beans that were sold at home, she also bought some mung beans and red beans.
Finally, she went to the supply and marketing agency again and bought the spices and oil that are essential for food.
After a lot of buying and buying, all the money on her body was spent, and there were no more tickets left. It could be said that she was poor all over her body.
But seeing the stuff in her hands, she didn't feel distressed anyway, anyway, she could still make money without the money.
When Li Xiaoqing and the others came back, they were shocked when they saw a lot of things in front of Su Yue. The last one helped her carry a little, and the four of them finally managed to help her carry the things back to the village.
Back in the village, Su Yue weighed out two kilograms of fine white noodles first thing, wrapped two pieces of chicken cake that she had left behind in oil paper, and walked to the country of Korea with one piece.
She is going to whiten her face.
When I arrived at the entrance of Han Ai's country, this time the door was not concealed, but it was all open, vaguely as if I heard someone in the yard shouting loudly.
Su Yue got closer and heard a woman's voice angrily said: "The royal family is simply a black-hearted family! Snobbish and black-hearted. I was really blind before I saw his daughter. If I had known this. My family is such a stinky virtue, even if I kill me, I don’t look down on her daughter. I really thought that my son and daughter were fairies, I yeah! Who was begging to come to my family for nothing, oh, now Seeing my family’s patriotism is hurt, I feel that I have no future and I want to retire and find another career. How can I be so capable!"
There was a younger female voice admonishing, "Mother, don't be angry. It's not worth it to be angry for such a family. Our family can be regarded as clearly seeing their royal family, and we will resolutely not interact with their family in the future."
"I have never seen such a snobbish family. At the beginning, I was begging to make peace with me. I think his family was so sincere and agreed to this marriage. Now it’s not good. I saw that my patriotism returned home. I'm going to regret it, do you want to force my face! I want to see, what kind of character their daughter can match with in the end!"
Su Yue stood outside the Han's courtyard and listened for a while, and she probably understood what was going on in her heart. It should be that the person who had made a relationship with Han Aiguo saw that he was injured, seeing that there was no future, and regretted in his heart, so he came to the house and retired.
No wonder the old lady is so angry.
However, she was quite happy. If Han Aiguo didn't resign, how could she approach him?
You can't do things as a junior.
Seeing that the old lady's scolding became quieter, Su Yue just sorted out her clothes, walked forward and knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone home?"
All the voices in the yard stopped. Everyone looked at the door and saw Su Yue standing at the door, all with surprised expressions.
The old lady Han asked aloud, "Are you Su Zhiqing who lives in Dongtou?"
Su Yue nodded: "Auntie is me, is it convenient for you now?"
Old lady Han hurriedly reduced the anger on her face and greeted her, "Come in, come in, girl, what's the matter with you?"
Su Yue showed the flour in the basket to the old lady, "Mother, I came once a few days ago, but you were not at home at that time, and the eldest brother was at home alone, so I borrowed some flour from the eldest brother. This time I went to the store to buy it, and I will return it to you."
Of course the old lady Han knows who she is talking about. Patriotic told her a few days ago that an educated youth came to buy eggs and borrowed two catties of flour. She didn’t think much about it, but she knew it was a female educated youth. A female educated youth with such a mark.
This girl is the whole Hanjia Village, no, no, the most beautiful girl in the whole commune.
Such a beautiful girl bought eggs from her boss and borrowed noodles. Did the two talk a lot?
Why didn't this brat tell her clearly.
The old lady Han thought about the possibility of these two people. When she came back to her senses, she remembered that her boss was no longer what she used to be. She is still thinking about what she is like now, even the girl of the Wang family hates it. The boss of his family is even more impossible for a girl with such a mark.
Alas, you can't think about it anymore.
Thinking about this, the old lady's eyes dimmed, she smiled and stretched out her hand to take the flour that Su Yue handed over, and said politely: "Good girl, come in and drink some water, next time you need something, just come to the aunt's house to borrow it. "
Su Yue calmly looked around, but didn't see the man's figure, and suppressed the disappointment in her heart. She took out the oil paper bag and handed it to the old lady Han, "Auntie, this is my own chicken cake. Bring you two pieces to taste. Thank you for lending me flour."
Although the old lady Han has never heard of the chicken cake, she also knows what kind of pastry it is. Pastry is a rare thing, so she subconsciously rejected it, "Good girl, this is a good thing. You can take it back quickly. You just borrow some flour, no? Thank you."
Su Yue stubbornly stuffed the oil paper bag into the old lady's hand, "Auntie, I made this by myself. You can try it. If you don't accept it, I am embarrassed to come and trouble you if I lack anything in the future. Just accept it."
When the old lady Han saw her saying this, she stopped being polite, "Well, well, the auntie will accept it, and you should come into the house to have a drink with the auntie."
Su Yue waved her hand, "No mother, I have to go back to wash the clothes, so I won't drink the water, mother, I'm leaving now."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she turned and left, not planning to drink water here.
Han Aiguo didn't come out, and she couldn't see him even after drinking water, so let's talk about it next time.
