Chapter 108 Soybeans
There were two more movie shows in the evening. This time, Xu Fugui was dragged away by the village chief to drink, and even Grandpa He was dragged along.
Xu Damao followed him as it was time to go to bed.
There is no choice but to leave. The village chief has to get close to them and see if he can keep them in his own village in the future.
……
The next day
He Lai and Yu Shui came to see Xu Damao and his son off. The village chief and his men saw them off, speaking polite words as if they were free.
The two of them hung some more things on their bicycles.
"Xiao Laizi, see you in the compound." Xu Damao shouted to He Lai.
"See you in the compound." He Lai also waved to Xu Damao.
Watched the two of them ride away on their bicycles.
He Lai looked at the dirt road under his feet. Yes, this road was really not easy to ride on.
"Xiao Laizi, you live in the same courtyard with the projectionist, so you have to speak up for the village and ask them to come to our village to show the film."
The village chief also grabbed He Lai and gave him some instructions.
"Got it, Uncle Genshui. We'll leave first." He Lai responded and quickly pulled Yu Shui away. If they didn't leave now, they would be surrounded.
The village chief and his men were not annoyed. Knowing the relationship between He Lai and the projectionist, they would most likely come. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Other villages will be envious in the future. Who told you not to have a projectionist as a neighbor?
……
time flies,
That afternoon, Wu Juan had already brought He Lai Yu Shui back to the courtyard.
Having not been home for half a month, the few of them quickly packed up.
Xu Damao also came over with a big bag in his hand.
"Da Mao is here. What's in your hand?" Wu Juan saw Xu Damao coming with a big bag of things.
"Aunt He, these are some mountain products that Xiao Laizi asked me to bring."
Xu Damao said, casually placing the bag on the ground.
He Lai heard Xu Damao's voice and came out. When he saw the bag, he immediately stepped forward.
"Thank you, Brother Damao."
"Hey, you're welcome."
He Lai also quickly opened it to take a look.
There were several large strings of dried mushrooms, pickled wild boar legs, black dates, pecans, dried persimmons, and a jar of honey at the bottom of the bag, all of which were good stuff.
"Are you satisfied, Xiao Laizi?" Xu Damao came over and smiled, looking at He Lai whose eyes were fixed on the bag.
"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied. I'll give you any price you want." He Lai said with a smile.
"What money? Give me money. Brother Damao won't bring you any more in the future." Xu Damao pretended to be serious.
"Okay, okay, no money, no money. Come to my house for dinner tonight, and I'll let Brother Zhuzi show you his skills." He Lai didn't force it, after all, they had a very good relationship.
"Okay, then I have to let He Yuzhu do it well for me!" Xu Damao was still the same, liking to tease Sha Zhu.
"Brother Damao, give us more honey. My mother loves to drink it." He Lai leaned close to Xu Damao's ear and said.
"Okay, leave it to Brother Damao. You guys continue to pack up, I'll leave first. Remember to call me for dinner." Xu Damao reminded him and went home.
"Okay, I'll call you as soon as Brother Zhuzi is done."
Wu Juan heard it just now. She lifted He Lai's ear and said.
"When did I start liking to drink honey? Tell me about it."
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, mom, please let go, please let go, I love to drink, I love to drink."
He Lai quickly followed Wu Juan's force, otherwise it would be too painful.
He Lai's ears were in such a bad state. I don't know why Wu Juan always likes to pull his ears now. Isn't spanking okay? He Lai rubbed his ears and looked at Wu Juan with resentment.
The rain was laughing secretly beside me, wiping the table with my hands.
……
"Auntie, Xiao Laizi, Yushui, you are back."
The sound arrived before Shazhu and his wife even entered the house.
"Brother Zhuzi, sister-in-law, come in quickly." He Lai quickly opened the door to greet them.
As soon as the two came in, Wu Juan and Yu Shui surrounded Qin Huairu and looked at Xiao Yangzi.
"Brother Zhuzi, do you have time? Cook a good meal!" He Lai said quietly.
"Okay, I'll go to the market and buy some good vegetables." Sha Zhu agreed immediately.
"Brother Zhuzi, let's go together. I haven't been there for a long time." He Lai also wanted to go to the vegetable market.
"Row."
And so the two of them rode away on their bikes.
……
There aren't many fresh vegetables in the market. Most of them are cabbages, radishes and the like.
He Lai followed Sha Zhu and watched him buy.
There is a big bag of soybeans on a vegetable farmer's stall.
He Lai thought that he could try to grow bean sprouts from these soybeans in the future.
"Uncle, how much is a pound of soybeans?"
He Lai squatted down and asked.
The old man didn't take He Lai seriously when he saw that he was just a child.
"One thousand and eight."
He Lai thought it was a bit expensive, after all, white flour was only 1 yuan, so he bargained.
"Uncle, fifteen hundred, if you can't sell it, I want all of it."
When the old man heard that he wanted all of them, he immediately agreed.
"Okay, okay, okay, I brought 50 kilograms and sold 2 kilograms. If you don't believe me, I'll find something to weigh it for you."
"Wait." Sha Zhu came over to buy groceries and immediately stopped He Lai when he saw he wanted to buy so many soybeans.
"Xiao Laizi, why did you buy so much? Can you still make tofu?"
"Ah, it just works. Want to make something else."
"Uncle, how much is it?" Seeing that He Lai still wanted to buy it, Sha Zhu turned to the old man and reached into the bag to check.
"Fifteen hundred. They're all top-quality soybeans." The old man felt a little guilty when he saw an adult coming.
"What, twelve hundred. If you're willing to sell it, then sell it. If not, I'll go somewhere else." It was obvious at first glance that Sha Zhu was a veteran.
"Here, this, this. Thirteen thousand, it's not easy for an old man like me. These are the only things I have at home." The old man also knew that this man was someone who understood the market.
He Lai pulled Sha Zhu, hey, he was kind-hearted and didn't want to embarrass the old man.
When Sha Zhu saw He Lai, he pulled his hand out of the bag.
"Okay, okay. Just 1,300."
When He Lai saw that the deal was done, he took out the money, counted it, and gave it to the old man.
"6, please count it." The old man quickly took the money and counted it for a long time.
Sha Zhu looked at He Lai in surprise, counting so fast. He was still counting. It turned out that being good at studying was amazing.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you the bag. Thank you, thank you." The old man finally calculated it and found that it was correct, so he picked up the carrying pole and left.
……
Two people were riding on the road.
"Xiao Laizi, you bought so much, can you finish it?"
"Eat it all!"
"Xiao Laizi, how do you calculate that money? Teach your brother Zhuzi."
"Brother Zhuzi, how much would it cost if you bought 50 kilograms?"
"Sixty-five thousand." Sha Zhu calculated.
"What about buying 2 kilograms?"
"Two thousand six."
"That's it. Two minus one equals sixty-two thousand four hundred, right?"
He Lai said with a smile.
"Hey, it's true. Xiao Laizi is really smart." Sha Zhu felt relieved in his heart and said with a smile.
"Brother Zhuzi, this is the power of knowledge." He Lai deliberately shouted loudly.
Sha Zhu didn't refute, but just stared at the bicycle.
……
"What's in this big bag?"
"The soybeans that Xiao Laizi wants."
When Wu Juan heard that it was her son who bought it again, she realized that he was really becoming more and more wasteful.
Next time I have to search this kid's room to see how much money he has.
