Xu Zhixia hadn't gone far when she met a middle-aged woman coming out of the cafeteria.

The woman smiled at Xu Zhixia from afar, walked up and asked, "Teacher Xu, I saw your Han Feng just now, why are you here to get food in person?"

Xu Zhixia turned back and pointed at the tractor, "Sister Liu, I'm going to buy some charcoal. Isn't there a scale here? I'll borrow the scale in the canteen to use it."

Sister Liu quickly asked: "Is this charcoal good? How much does it cost per pound?"

"Well, it's not expensive, only five cents a pound." Xu Zhixia said as she walked to the canteen.

Sister Liu came over and looked at the opened sack, "Five cents a pound? Can it be cheaper if I buy more?"

Susie said: "Sister, how much do you want to buy?"

If this car is fully packaged, it can be cheaper and it can be wholesaled.

Sister Liu said: "At least I have to buy two hundred catties."

There are many people in her family, and her mother-in-law's family has to use it. I'm afraid 200 kilograms won't be enough.

Susie smiled and said: "Sister, we can help you carry it upstairs, but the price is already the lowest on the market. It's really not worth it."

Sister Liu calculated the account in her mind, "Okay, I'll go back and get the money."

This was the peak time for breakfast sales in the cafeteria. People were coming and going at the entrance of the cafeteria, and soon many people came over to ask questions.

The men left after asking the price, but the women started to negotiate the price as soon as they came up. Susie always said the same thing: it was a lot of money.

Not long after, I saw Xu Zhixia and a middle-aged man coming out of the cafeteria.

The man was pushing a scale, and Zhu Zhicheng quickly ran over and took over.

The scale was pushed over and Susie looked at it. This scale was similar to the one in their production team.

The entire scale is made of iron, with four wheels at the bottom and an iron plate above the wheels. When weighing, items are placed on the iron plate.

Xu Zhixia came over, looked inside the tractor bed, and pointed to a bag, "That's it. How much does it weigh?"

Yuan Gang lifted the sack onto the scale, and Zhu Zhicheng added weights to the scale, and then moved the iron mass on the scale beam a few times, "One hundred and nineteen kilograms."

Susie looked at it carefully and probably understood how to use the scale.

Xu Zhixia nodded, "Okay, whoever comes with me upstairs to get the money."

Qiao Mu picked up the bag and followed Xu Zhixia to the dormitory building.

After walking a few steps, I bumped into Sister Liu spinning down again.

Sister Liu said: "Did you buy it? How much is this bag?"

Xu Zhixia said: "My bag weighs almost 120 kilograms, so it is probably about the same weight."

"Then I have to buy two bags." Sister Liu said and hurried to the tractor.

Zhu Zhicheng weighed two bags of charcoal for Sister Liu, totaling 236 kilograms.

Sister Liu gave her twelve yuan, and Su Qian gave her twenty cents.

She borrowed all the change from Tian Xiaohui, Zhao Tingting and others yesterday. In the morning, Yuan Gang, Zhu Zhicheng and Qiao Mu also gave her all the change from their hands, keeping it for change.

Before Sister Liu left, someone came over to buy charcoal.

As soon as Yuan helped Sister Liu carry the charcoal away, Su Qian came over to look at the scale, and Zhu Zhicheng moved the bags of charcoal down.

There were more and more people around to buy charcoal, and they were as busy as spinning tops going back and forth.

Fortunately, not everyone wants it delivered to their door. Some men buy charcoal, put it on their shoulders and leave.

Most of them were bought in a bag. Every time Susie received a sum of money, she would write down the number in a small book.

In just a short time, dozens of bags of charcoal were sold.

After breakfast, Xu Zhixia packed up and pushed her bicycle over. When she saw that the tractor was empty, she said, "Oh, I even said I would take you to school. I told the teachers at our school last time and they all said they wanted to buy it."

"It's gone now. I can't explain it to them."

Su Qian looked at Qiao Mu. Qiao Mu understood what she meant and said to Xu Zhixia: "There is still charcoal that has not been pulled out from the kiln, but it will have to wait for about ten days."

Xu Zhixia parked the car, "Okay, then I'll tell them that next time you come, you can go directly to our school."

She handed a cloth bag in her hand to Susie, "The textbooks you want have been found for you a long time ago. Even though I am busy during this period, the school has political studies on weekends, so I don't have time to go back."

Su Qian felt that the bag in her hand was heavy, and Xu Zhixia added: "The cotton shoes are ready and they are also inside. I usually wear them at home."

Susie nodded, "Thank you, aunt."

Xu Zhixia smiled: "Thank you for what, isn't this what you should be doing?"

"By the way, I have to return this scale to them."

Zhu Zhicheng said quickly: "I'll do it, I'll do it, you just tell me where to put it."

Xu Zhixia took Zhu Zhicheng to the cafeteria, while Su Qian squatted on the ground with a small notebook to settle accounts.

After a while, Xu Zhixia and Zhu Zhicheng came out.

Susie stood up and said, "Auntie, we are going back now."

Xu Zhixia nodded and looked at her watch, "Okay, I won't keep you here anymore, I have to go to work too."

"Our school will be on vacation after a while. Then, you can come and stay at home for a while."

Su Qian agreed, and Xu Zhixia got on her bicycle and left.

Susie was about to get in the car, but Qiao Mu suddenly stopped her with his hand, "Wait a minute, I'll borrow a broom to sweep it up."

Only then did Susie notice a thick layer of black ash in the truck bed.

Qiao Mu and Zhu Zhicheng went to the cafeteria and quickly borrowed a broom and dustpan to clean the inside of the truck.

Qiao Mu quickly got the rag and wiped the car body again and again. He didn't stop until there was no trace of black ash.

There was a lot of dust on his face and body, but he didn't care. He patted it a few times and got in the car.

Qiao Mu first drove the car to a gas station, filled up the car with a bottle of gas, and then went to a grocery company to buy a few bundles of sacks before driving back.

On the way back, everyone was in a good mood. Yuan Gang was chatting and laughing with Zhu Zhicheng all the way.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Susie and the others got out of the car, and Qiao Mu drove the tractor to park the car.

When Qiao Mu came back, Susie went to their house. She took out a lot of change from her pocket and returned the change she had borrowed before to them.

Then he put the small book on the table and said, "A total of 4,378 kilograms of charcoal was sold for 218 yuan and 90 cents."

Susie counted out the money and put it on the table, "Who will count it?"

Zhu Zhicheng waved his hand, "No need to order, we still can't trust you?"

Susie kept her grandma's teachings in mind, "That won't work. Brothers will settle the accounts tomorrow. Money must be accounted for in person."

Yuan Gang came over and said, "I'll count."

He counted it carefully and said, "The amount of money is correct."

Susie tore off the recording paper from the small book and said, "Okay, the money and accounts are all handed over to you. I don't care how you divide them."

As she said that, she picked up the small book and walked out. Zhu Zhicheng stopped her, "Susie, don't leave. You have contributed, so you should get a share."

Susie smiled and said: "I didn't do anything, I just ran with you and helped you a little."

"We eat from the same pot every day, so such a small thing really doesn't matter." She said and went out, closing the door behind her.
