Chapter 44
"How? Did it sell?"
"It's okay, right?"
As soon as he came in, Mr. Liu was surrounded by the middle and asked.
Mr. Liu smiled, "Sold it! No loss!"
The people around also smiled when they heard the words, and they were sincerely happy for the Liu family.
"Liu Da, open a jar of fruit wine and give it to all these old boys and aunts!"
"Okay!"
This next evening, the fragrance of wine filled the Liu family's courtyard, and there were bursts of laughter.
Mrs. Liu took her two daughters-in-law to cook in the kitchen. Sometimes she looked up at the lively scene outside, and sometimes she looked down at the little granddaughter who was around her feet, her eyes filled with satisfaction.
By the time the old man and his daughter-in-law were sent off, and dinner was over, the sky was about to get dark.
"Wife, get me some money soon. I'll go to Li to return the bullock cart, and by the way, I'll pay back the jar money I owe. It's been a long time. I guess I'm worried that our business is not good, and I haven't urged us to pay it back. "Master Liu said.
"Okay, let's just settle the jar of money we ordered later. It's not easy for their family. His family's A Ping was just divorced some time ago," Mrs. Liu sighed. "It's all because of poverty."
Mr. Liu also sighed secretly.
Speaking of poverty, every family in Xinghua Village was poor, and they could barely make ends meet before. In the past two years, the rice fields have had a bumper harvest. After paying the tax, there is still a lot of food left, and the big guy has a better life.
Two years ago, I didn’t even dare to get sick, because I couldn’t afford the medicine, and I was really unlucky to get sick, so I could only endure it.
Bring the silver, the precious granddaughter, and drive the ox cart to the Li family.
Whenever he goes out in his spare time, as long as his baby granddaughter is at home, Mr. Liu will definitely bring her with him.
Even if he was just strolling around the door of the house, listening to the laughter of his granddaughter Jiaojiao made me feel happy.
This time I came to catch up just after dinner time, and the Li family was all there.
Li Da, Yang's couple, the eldest son Li Ping, the second son Li An.
"Li Da, I brought the ox cart here, and by the way, I will give you the money for buying the jar." Mr. Liu shouted at the door.
"Come in, I'll just be back next night, and I won't go to your house after it's too late. I heard from the village that your fruit wine has been sold, and I feel at ease." Li Daying came out and helped bring the ox cart in. yard.
"I just said that my family's wine will definitely be sold, and I ordered fewer wine jars at the beginning, hahaha." Holding his granddaughter in his arms, the folds on Mr. Liu's face stretched out, and he said as he walked, "This time at home The rest of the wine is also requested, plus the two thousand additional orders later, the jar is still not enough, you can burn another 1,500."
"No problem! As long as there is business, I'll make as many jars as you want, and I don't need to worry about you anymore."
"But this incident is a bit urgent. You can help me burn it out as quickly as possible. People will come to pull the wine in four days."
At this time, the two had already entered the yard, and Mrs. Yang came out with a few small horses and put them in the yard for a few people to sit down and chat. Hearing this, he said in surprise, "You're going to have a drink in four days? Oh, it's a bit of time. rush..."
There are only a few people in their family. Even if they speed up the production, it will take at least five or six days.
"Uncle and auntie, Nan Nan was reckless. I didn't think of this at the time, so I asked someone to come over after four days." Liu Yusheng only remembered this when he came back, and he was so annoyed that he wanted to hammer his head, "You can do it first, and we will talk about it when someone comes. Say, give them a grace period for a few days."
"Father, mother, now the rice has been collected at home, and there is nothing to do for the time being. Let's work a little harder these days, and we should be able to get out in a hurry." Li Ping said, "Since Nannan has promised others, we can't let her go back on her promise. Doing business is very trustworthy.”
Li Da nodded, "Okay, let's hurry, no matter what, we have to burn the jar out within four days!"
"Uncle Auntie, Uncle Ping..." Liu Yusheng really felt guilty, and he opened his mouth for a while, causing others to suffer for him.
"Oh, this little girl, her face is wrinkled into a ball, but she's not happy. It's a good thing to have business, and my uncles and aunts are also making money. Besides, it's just a matter of catching up. It's okay for my family to work hard, we can't. Let outsiders say that we don't trust credit." Yang shi couldn't bear to see Liu Yusheng's face down, pinched her face and smiled.
Looking at the few people in front of her, Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and smiled slowly, nodding her head heavily, "Yeah! Thank you Uncle Ping and Uncle An!"
"This kid, hahaha!"
Mr. Liu also raised his hand and scratched the little nose of his precious granddaughter. He couldn't help laughing, "My family is a big boy!"
Then he took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Li Da, "Well, here are the thirteen taels."
"Why the thirteen taels? Give too much, Brother Liu, two coins per jar..." Li Dayi hurriedly refused.
"Listen to me," Mr. Liu held down Li Da's hand, "I have discussed it with my family, and I will buy a jar from your house at the prevailing price of three cents. What everyone earns is hard-earned money. To take that hard-earned money from your hands, I, Liu old man, can't do it."
"Can……"
"If I don't sell this wine, you've made up your mind not to urge me to pay for the goods, right? You helped me make thousands of jars and thought I didn't know? Since you said it was your own family, don't do it again. If I lose money, I really won't give you any money."
The yard was quiet for a while.
Li Da clenched the money bag tightly, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, I won't argue with you, I won't fight with you, I will accept the money!" "That's right, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to come to your house in the future. I borrowed an ox cart!" The teasing words brought a burst of laughter, "In addition to the deposit of 3,000 people in the front, a total of 13,250,000 wen is all there. It's getting late, so I'll be back soon."
"Hey, you go back first, tomorrow I will send the 2,000 I made first, and the delivery will be delivered within the remaining four days!"
"Okay, that's it!"
Picking up his precious granddaughter, the old man Liu walked slowly on the way home, watching the bright moon and stars rising in the sky, listening to the barking of dogs and voices from the small yard next door, very happy.
Liu Yusheng nestled in his grandfather's arms, savouring the tranquility and warmth, and wrapped his small hands around the old man's neck, "Grandpa, you are so nice, so are our family and the people in our village."
"That's right, Xinghua Village is famous for its harmony and unity in Shili Baxiang. Like those trivial matters in other villages, Xinghua Village has almost never happened." Mr. Liu laughed happily.
"Why? Could everyone in the village be selfless?" This was Liu Yusheng's long-standing confusion.
People are different, different in temperament, and different in character.
She couldn't figure out what could make this village full of goodwill and beauty.
