Back To Masalalu
Hot and Living Money
It was about seven o'clock.
One nylon bag was empty.
However, fewer and fewer people are coming to buy mugwort.
If the conditions are the same as yesterday, it doesn't matter if Jiangzhou waits until the sale runs out just come home
and yet....
Today is the QhingMing Festival.
Although Jiang Zhou did not need to worship his ancestors, but he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children.
At that time the sun had started to rise, making the entire body of people feel warm.
Jiang Zhou tied the mouth of the nylon bag with half the bag left, then he turned to Chloe and Zoe and Liu Mengli and said, "Let's go, let's sell somewhere else!" Liu Mengli nodded, holding his son's hands
it followed the husband.
They walked for a while, and finally they stopped in front of a door.
Liu Mengli looked up.
In front of the entrance was written "Qing'an County Correction and Marketing Cooperative"
When looking into the , in front of one row of windows there are employees of suppliers and marketing cooperatives, and in front of them there is a large shelf.
Inside the shelf were all sorts of things.
Then on the empty wall behind the employees of the supplier and marketing cooperative, taped red paper boxes, with black printed characters, and some large characters neatly written on it.
"Education and production are integrated"
This was the sales department of the Qing'an County Cooperative of Supply and Marketing where Jiangzhou came to buy the goods yesterday.
Like a pasaraya.
Jiangzhou saw it yesterday.
The street along the entrance of the supplier and marketing cooperative is full of shops.
Food stalls, some tailors, tool shops and the like.
Now the country has allowed the private economy to flourish.
Therefore, some people went out to open a shop.
However, it would be more money-efficient to buy some groceries and other items from supplier and marketing cooperatives.
the most important thing is.
It is still 1982, the thinking and economy of the community is not yet open.
So there are still many people who do not understand and refuse to talk about business.
If not.
If it lived in the next generation, Jiangzhou could not have been the first to sell mugwort leaves before the tomb pilgrimage.
After Jiangzhou found a place for Chloe and Zoe.
He parked his car.
He rolled up the rest of his nylon bag, and opened the mouth of his bag down.
And show the green and fresh mugwort leaves in it.
By then, the shoots were already sold out.
Jiang Zhou felt no shame at all and shouted loudly.
"mugworts! fresh mugwort! wild mugwort just picked up from the fields this morning!"
This shout immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Nowadays, everyone is ashamed of doing business.
Many people do not know what he is selling even if you pass his stall!
Today, when Jiangzhou shouted, it gave an incredible effect.
A group of middle-aged lung women who had just come out of the supplier and marketing cooperative immediately surrounded Jiangzhou.
Staring at the mugwort in the Jiangzhou nylon bag, his eyes lit up!
"Hey?! this mugwort leaf looks fresh! Pretty good! How much does a kilogram cost?"
Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "To be honest, I started selling it yesterday, and I also sold it in the family building in the mining area this morning, and I sold it for Rp.1,200 to a half a kilogram on them, Now it was almost noon, because my wife and children were also tired of following me to sell, so I thought I would sell it for Rp. 1,000 pounds as fast as sold out! so, do you want to?"
"I plucked this from the foot of the mountain early in the morning, and it's still fresh!”
Jiang Zhou was sounding very sincere.
When finished speaking.
Before the aunt spoke.
Beside him, his two children who had been standing up, also followed his father's movements.
With his small body, they leaned forward, and the two grabbed Jiang Zhou's clothes with one hand, and waved their skinny hands forward with the other.
"Very Fresh~"
"Very Fresh~"
Their voices were both very soft and funny.
A group of aunts fresh out of a supplier and direct marketing co-op had fun.
"Ouch! You are so sweet!"
"The twins are so beautiful! You are so lucky!"
"Haha! You know how to help your father do business at such a young age, your daughter is wise!"
...
Jiang Zhou also He stopped, reacted, he bowed with a smile, and held Chloe and Zoe.
The heads of his two daughters rubbed against his chin.
Then put Chloe and Zoe on a wooden train
“Yes, I'm very lucky!”
Jiang Zhou said with a smile.
Thereafter.
Some women spend money to buy mugwort.
Although not for making rice cakes, you can buy them and use them for other things.
This year, mugwort leaves are the best friends of women.
Most mugwort leaf bags sold out in an instant.
Looking at the empty bags and baskets, Jiang Zhou finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Daddy, is it sold out?"
Chloe blinked her eyes, stuck out her head, and glanced at the two empty bags.
Zoe was crouching in the wagon.
Suddenly she held up her little thumb.
He looked at Jiang Zhou seriously.
“Good, great sister, Zoe is also great!”
This action made Jiang Zhou's heart melt.
He leaned over and kissed the heads of his two children.
"Let's go! It's sold out, let's go shopping! "
they were originally standing at the entrance of a supplier and marketing cooperative.
Because now their merchandise has been sold, so the wooden train is empty.
The first thing Jiang Zhou thought about was going shopping and going home.
Rice, noodles, mosquito net matches and the like.
Liu Mengli saw Jiangzhou walking into a supplier and marketing cooperative with his two children, and subconsciously said: "Don't buy any more, the house is still all complete, don't waste money scattering ..."
Liu Mengli was not willing.
They just got the money!
How hard it is to make money!
The money should be spent slowly, and it will last a little longer.
Jiang Zhou turned around and smiled at him, and said, "Didn't you hear what aunt said earlier? No matter how difficult it is, you cannot let the child suffer. "
"Chloe and Zoe are too thin, they have to eat nutritious food."
“You too, don't be so hard on yourself, I'll definitely make some more money."
After saying that, Jiang Zhou brought his son into the supplier and marketing cooperative.
Behind him, Liu Mengli was stunned.
His eyes suddenly became hot, Liu Mengli felt moved, and his tears flowed out.
He stretched out the back of his hand and wiped away his tears, but his tears could not stop flowing.
Why did he suddenly feel so sad?
…………………
In supplier and marketing cooperatives.
Jiang Zhou first walked to the side and counted the money for a bit.
He plucked two large bags of mugwort leaves today.
It sold more than yesterday.
A large stack of money was spent, there were some money that was nominally quite large.
That is Rp. 20,000
After counting, Jiangzhou smiled.
“Total around Rp.100.000.”
This money..
if in the next life, to eat once is over.
However, in 1982, this kind of money we could buy a lot of stuff and also was a few days' salary for some people.
It's very difficult to make money.
Jiang Zhou brought his two daughters to buy something.
Because yesterday the money he had wasn't enough. Jiangzhou also abandoned the intention to buy it.
But now, he has Rp. 100,000 in his pocket and the rest of the money yesterday.
So Jiangzhou felt that this time they should enjoy it a little
“Chloe, Zoe, what do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you!”
Jiang Zhou said with a smile.
The two children blinked their big black eyes, looking at the counter curiously and expectantly.
There are colorful candies, and also rabbit milk candy with its blue and white frame packs.
Then there are candies, brown sugar, white sugar, enamel basins, etc.
All complete.
Jiang Zhou asked for 10 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of noodles, matches, kerosene, towels, flasks and other daily necessities, adding to their supplies .
his two daughters took a walk in the supplier and marketing cooperative, and eventually the two sisters stood in front of the soft candy and stopped.
Red and green candy.
this is the candy that the aunts gave to them while selling in the mine workers' flats.
"Dad, Chloe wants this sweet~"
"Zoe also sika candy~"
said the two children in a spoiled voice.
Jiang Zhou immediately nodded.
He called employees from the supplier and marketing cooperative to weigh half a kilogram of candy.
This item is quite rare, and the price is Rp. 6,000 per half kilogram.
it's not at all strange.
Because in times like these, everything sweet is a luxury.
Then, a pile of goods filled the counter table.
To the extent that his cashier even glanced at Jiangzhou at a glance.
One time buy a lot of stuff, really rich!
"Total ..."
Teller had just finished counting the money and was about to pay off his bill with Jiang Zhou.
However, before he finished speaking, a voice cut him off.
"Wait a minute, there's another one here."
It was Liu Mengli.
He blushed, walked over, and handed the items he held tightly in his hand to the counter.
When Jiang Zhou saw the items clearly on the counter, he was a little surprised.
it turns out that Liumengli bought iodine and cotton.
then there are bandages and plaster as well.
heart Jiangzhou
Suddenly a little shaky.
He looked over and looked at Liu Mengli.
Liumengli lowered his head and looked elsewhere and a slightly panicked look. It was clear that Liumengli was avoiding Jiangzhou's gaze.
Jiang Zhou smiled.
She turned to the cashier who looked at her doubtfully and said, “Well, she is my wife, and we want this too.”
He felt warm in his heart.
Jiang Zhou knew.
If his heart is injured by a knife, in his previous life is slowly recovering.
“Total Rp. 57,000,”
the cashier finished counting and said to Jiang Zhou.
Most of the money was lost this time.
However, Jiang Zhou's mood was happier than before.
He paid the money and was very happy.
In his previous life, he did business as a small street vendor and became wealthy, as time went on, the wealth he owned increased.
When he finally died in a hospital bed, he didn't even know how much money he had!
However, to Jiangzhou who was already like an undead, the money was merely a row of numbers that meant nothing.
It's ironic and ridiculous.
Yet.
After being reborn, he saw the coins in his hands.
While handing over the money to the cashier, Jiangzhou looked at his two smiling children.
For the first time, he felt the warmth of the money he had in his hands.
hot and alive.
Jiang Zhou picked up the items and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Come go!”
he said with a smile.
Liu Mengli nodded, still avoiding Jiang Zhou's eyes somewhat uncomfortably.
Holding the hands of his two children who were eating sweets, he followed Jiang Zhou and left the supplier and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Zhou pushed the cart to the end of the road.
Right after passing the corner, he heard a loud noise.
“I want a bowl of bakmie!”
“I want the chopped leeks!”
“Reduce the chili! I can't eat spicy food!”
…
Then, hear the voices that go hand in hand and smell the thick aroma of noodles.
Jiangzhou's eyes immediately twinkled.
