Lin Erhu squatted in the market selling mushrooms, playing with a calculator in his hand.

In the past few days, the siblings have learned to recognize the Arabic numerals using this calculator. Yesterday, they bought an electronic scale and plastic bags. From now on, they will also sell mushrooms by weight.

When I meet hawkers who want to wholesale for sale, I will still wholesale to them at a cheaper price. Although the price is much lower, a basket of mushrooms only requires a bag of salt. The faster they sell, the more they sell. The brothers and sisters earn only about the same amount.

More.

Grandma Liu came to the market to buy vegetables and saw Lin Erhu, who was calling mushrooms to people, "Erhu, where is your sister?"

Lin Erhu pointed at Lin Xiaoman who was walking over with four baskets of mushrooms on his back and said, "My sister has gone back to get the mushrooms. Does Grandma Liu still want to buy mushrooms?"

Grandma Liu turned around and saw clearly the mushroom basket hanging on Lin Xiaoman's body and exclaimed: "My dear, Xiaoman is really strong."

Wait for Lin Xiaoman to come over, and together with Lin Erhu, pick the mushroom basket off Lin Xiaoman's body.

Lin Xiaoman was very happy to see Grandma Liu, "Grandma Liu, have you finished eating your mushrooms?"

Grandma Liu shook her head, "How can I finish eating it? I salted it all and put it in the freezer to eat slowly."

The siblings knew that the freezer Grandma Liu was talking about was the big cabinet used to sell meat in supermarkets, but they didn't expect that everyone here could afford it, unlike their place where rich people had to save some ice in the summer.

.

"Grandma Liu's family is what we used to call a wealthy family, right?"

"Oh, your little mouth is still so good at coaxing people." Grandma Liu was amused by Lin Xiaoman's words, "Do you know what grandma wants to do with you today?"

The siblings shook their heads together, looking like two innocent little white rabbits.

Grandma Liu sighed, that means she didn't meet any bad guys, otherwise the two babies would have been deceived and she would have had to help count the money, "Do you know how much the ginseng plant you gave to Grandma Xu a few days ago is worth?"

The siblings didn't know what ginseng was, but they had been selling mushrooms for so long that they only gave away a stick, and it was given to Grandma Xu. That should be the one Grandma Liu was talking about.

But the mallet was not as big as the one my father bought for my mother, and there was no telling how much the price difference between the two was, so the siblings shook their heads together.

Grandma Liu exclaimed, "You two children are so honest. You just give away such a big ginseng? That means you, Grandma Xu, are not cheap people. Otherwise, how many mushrooms would you have to sell to earn back the money?"

This money? You asked grandma to transfer 10,000 yuan to me, and I must get it to you when I meet you."

With that said, Grandma Liu pulled Lin Xiaoman and left, "You go to the bank with me, and I will withdraw the money to you."

Lin Xiaoman did not move at all. Grandma Liu was about to advise Lin Xiaoman not to be too kind, otherwise she would easily suffer losses, but Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Grandma Liu, take me to buy a mobile phone and transfer the money to me later.

That’s it.”

After coming here several times to buy mushrooms, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu both know that mobile phones are a good thing, because without mobile phones, many people who go out without money cannot buy their mushrooms.

They also went to the mobile phone store and asked about it. It was easy to buy a mobile phone, but how could they have an ID card to apply for a mobile phone card?

Although she is not kind, Grandma Liu is such a nice person, so she will definitely help them get a mobile phone card, right?

"What do I mean? It's fine. It's not convenient for you to only accept cash when selling mushrooms. If you buy a mobile phone and enter a payment code, it will be convenient to sell things in the future."

After selling the mushrooms cheaply to the vendors who collected them from them in the morning, the siblings followed Grandma Liu to buy mobile phones.

When they came out of the mobile phone store, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu each had a new mobile phone in their hands, the same model in different colors, and cost more than 2,000 yuan.

Without waiting for the siblings to speak, Grandma Liu took the initiative to help them apply for two cards. Considering the Internet access problem, she opened unlimited Internet services for the siblings.

Knowing that their home had no electricity, Grandma Liu couldn't imagine what kind of poverty it was in the mountains and ravines, so she finally took them to a grocery store to buy a solar charging panel.

We also teach them simple mobile phone operations, such as how to pay bills and how to access the Internet. The most important thing is to download anti-fraud software for them.

Seeing that the siblings were playing with great interest, Grandma Liu warned: "You can play appropriately, but don't play all the time. If you become myopic, you will need to wear glasses."

They know what myopia is, and Lin Erhu doesn't want to be like Mr. Lu and bump into pillars while walking and apologize to them.

After saying goodbye to Grandma Liu, the siblings bought some hot pot ingredients and planned to cook hot pot at night. The temperature has been cooling down these days, and there is nothing more comfortable than eating a hot pot.

As soon as I got home, I heard someone banging on the door of the back room, and a woman shouted: "Xiaoman, Erhu, the door is closed in broad daylight. What delicious food is hidden in the house?"

Looking at the rickety door, the siblings were frightened for a while and decided to repair the collapsed wall as soon as possible, otherwise anyone could come in.

I had a lot of food hidden at home, but it was stolen again.

If you catch the siblings coming back from the closet, treat them as monsters.

After quickly hiding the things he bought today in the box and locking it, Lin Xiaoman opened the door and almost slapped Lin Xiaoman on the face.

Lin Xiaoman ducked aside and asked angrily: "Aunt Wang, are you here to break down the door?"

Aunt Wang is in her forties and lives in the west of the village. Her husband is Lin Dashan. She also has two sons at home, the eldest, Lin Jinhu, and the second, Lin Jinkui.

Lin Jinhu is like his father, an honest man who only knows how to work hard. Lin Jinkui is lazy, greedy, and just like Aunt Wang. Lin Dashan is often seen taking Lin Jinhu to the fields, while Aunt Wang and Lin Jinkui secretly make delicious food at home.

The family has not saved much money over the years. After the house collapsed last year, we had no money to build a new house in the east of the village, so we moved into an old house that was unwanted by others.

Aunt Wang sniffed. She always felt that there was a fragrant smell in this room, and she smiled softly, "Why are you hiding in the house and eating secretly? And you are carrying someone behind your back?"

Lin Xiaoman pushed the person into the yard and replied with a smile, "We eat our own food, why do we need to steal it?"

"Why do you keep the door so tight if you don't want to steal it? My aunt didn't come to open it even after shouting for a long time."

"It's not that there are many wild cats in the village. If we don't lock the doors, we're afraid of being bitten by wild cats."

Aunt Wang knew that Lin Xiaoman had scolded her, and she felt unhappy. But thinking about the purpose of coming today, she put on a smile and said, "Xiaoman, Auntie, I came here to ask where you and your brother bought their salt."

Auntie wants to buy more."

Lin Xiaoman shook his head like a rattle, "Auntie, please don't harm me. People who sell illegal salt will go to jail. We don't do that."

"Ha!" Aunt Wang sneered, "If you don't sell salt, why are you hoarding so much at home? Trading salt for mushrooms doesn't count as selling private salt?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded guiltily, "I didn't sell salt. I bought too much salt before and traded it for mushrooms after I couldn't finish it. Wherever I go, I don't sell any salt."

Seeing that she was out of luck, Aunt Wang was frightened but couldn't help it, so she said softly, "Don't be afraid, Auntie is not trying to harm you, or if you have money, let's make it together. Your brother Jinhu and brother Jinkui are getting older."

, Auntie has been worried about their marriage and wants to earn some money to marry them. If you tell the truth to Auntie, Auntie will definitely not tell anyone else and will give you a share."

Lin Xiaoman still shook his head, "Auntie, if you want salt, go pick mushrooms on the mountain. I can still harvest them for a few days. If the salt is gone in a few days, Auntie will not be able to exchange it with me anymore if she wants to."
