"Pigs don't like to grow meat in cold weather, so why don't they just listen to Li Shu and kill them." Wu Chunmei thought the price was okay.
"Is there any problem?" Chen Mandun was still a little hesitant. After all, there were so many eyes staring at him. If someone reported it, it would be over.
"As long as we insist on selling it to the purchase station, who can investigate carefully? Besides, didn't my husband's family also sell it last year?"
Chen Mantun thought about it, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll kill the pig and send it to him in the next two days."
Seeing that he agreed, Chen Lishu stood up to leave.
"I grew some garlic sprouts some time ago. You can cut some and cook them for cooking." Seeing that she was about to leave, Wu Chunmei also stood up and said.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Thank you, Mom."
Wu Chunmei smiled: "You kid, why do you want to thank me?"
Chen Lishu went to the kitchen with her and found a pig trough placed near the wall on one side of the kitchen. At the moment, there was a large bush of green garlic sprouts growing in it.
Although Wu Chunmei has a soft temper, she is definitely good at handling livestock and growing vegetables. She can produce such good garlic seedlings in such a cold weather.
Chen Lishu watched her cutting garlic seedlings and couldn't help but think: "Mom, Liu Yong is still harvesting vegetables. How about I ask you about the price someday, and you can sell more in the future."
Vegetables are in short supply in winter now, and garlic seedlings can usually be harvested for about three crops. If you plant more, you can make a lot of money.
"Really? This thing is easy to make. If you can really sell it for money, I'll ask your dad to nail two more pig troughs for me tomorrow, and I'll make more."
Wu Chunmei has not been in good health since her miscarriage and hemorrhage, and she cannot sit for long periods of time, so she has stopped making clothes for a long time. When she heard Chen Lishu say that this could be sold for money, she was very happy.
After coming out of Chen's house, Chen Lishu went directly back to Gu's house. Unexpectedly, not long after she got home, Chen Manyun came looking for her.
"Lishu, why don't you just forget about selling the pigs? It's really troublesome to go through all the trouble."
How could Chen Lishu, the father and daughter of many years, not understand him? There must be something going on in the middle of something they have obviously agreed to.
"Dad, did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing. I just think it's better to do less than to do more. I'd rather make less than take the risk."
Chen Mandun knew that if Chen Lishu knew that Mrs. Chen was looking for him, one hundred people would definitely not agree according to her temper.
"Dad, if you don't tell me, I will go back and ask the second sister and the others." The more evasive he became, the more sure Chen Lishu was that there was something going on.
When Chen Mancun saw her talking and was about to walk out, he quickly stopped her and said helplessly: "Your grandma came to me and said that your uncle's pigs were not weighed enough. He sent them to the purchasing station twice but didn't accept them. So he just wanted to go with our family."
At the same time, if the price is raised like this, the buying station will definitely agree."
When Chen Lishu heard Chen Mandun's words, her chest suddenly tightened. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Dad, give him a hook. My uncle, will they give you the price difference?"
Chen Mandun's eyes narrowed: "We are all one family, and if I don't help, their pigs will be lost. After all, it costs dozens of dollars. We only count on this little money all year round."
Chen Lishu took a deep breath and couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "Dad, do you still know that we rely on this little money all year round? Is our family very wealthy? You go to help him sell pigs and you have to pay for it yourself. Have you forgotten?
How did my uncle's family treat you? Will they be grateful to you for helping like this?"
Chen Lishu looked at his silent expression and suddenly felt weak: "My mother is in poor health and needs to take medicine, and my sisters have to go to school. Have you ever thought about these?"
"Then you can't just watch your uncle's pigs fail to sell. Besides, you're going to have to kneel down for me." He knew what Chen Lishu said, but there was nothing he could do about this situation.
After the initial anger, Chen Lishu had calmed down a lot now. Knowing that Chen Manyun had made up her mind, she couldn't change it no matter what she said, so she thought about it and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll go with you."
Uncle’s family, if I can, I will buy their pigs.”
Chen Manyun looked up in surprise: "Did you buy it?"
Chen Lishu smiled bitterly: "I can't embarrass my father. Anyway, the fourth child in the family has to kill pigs when he gets married, so I just bought it from my uncle's house."
Chen Mandun suddenly didn't know what to say: "Lishu, dad knows what you said, but your uncle and I are brothers after all."
After the two went out, Chen Lishu said hello to Li Xiulan and his wife, and then walked with Chen Mancang to Chen Mancang's house.
On the way, Chen Lishu asked: "Dad, do you know the price of pigs collected at the purchasing station?"
Chen Mandun was startled for a moment: "Aren't you following Liu Yong's side?"
Chen Lishu sneered in her heart, considering the price Liu Yong paid, their family would be pretty good.
"Dad, you must not say anything about Liu Yong's side, not even a word, otherwise you will harm others." Chen Lishu said with a serious expression.
Chen Manyun also understood the importance and nodded to show that he understood.
"The pigs at the purchasing station are generally divided into five grades, special grade, first grade, second grade, third grade and extra grade. Your uncle's family belongs to the extra grade." Chen Mandun explained to Chen Lishu.
There has never been a special first-class, the most is second-class or third-class, pigs are second-class with three cents and two cents, and third-class with three cents.
Chen Lishu had some plans in mind, and arrived at Chen Mancang's house with Chen Mancang. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chen Mancang's family sitting around the stove talking.
"Mom, eldest brother, Li Shu said that she bought the pig just as the fourth son of her husband's family is getting married, so you don't have to go back and forth." As soon as he entered the house, Chen Manyun couldn't wait to speak.
Mrs. Chen opened her half-drooped eyelids, still resenting Chen Lishu in her heart, so she asked angrily: "She wants to buy it? How much can she give per pound?"
Listening to her tone as if she was in a hurry, Chen Lishu was happy: "I heard from my dad. After all, we are all a family. We can't let you and my uncle and aunt get angry in a hurry. Just follow the three rules at the purchasing station.
Let’s calculate the price of the pig, how about 30 cents per pound?”
Chen Mancang and Zhang Chunhua thought about it after hearing her words. Although the buying station did not accept it, now that Chen Lishu was rushing to beg them, the price could no longer be calculated according to the third grade.
"I think it's better to count it as second class. After all, your husband's family wants to use it, so we don't have to worry about it that much." Chen Mancang pondered for a moment and said.
Chen Lishu turned her head and looked at Chen Mandun: "Dad, have you seen their faces clearly this time?"
When asked by his daughter, Chen Mandun's lips twitched twice.
On the way here, Chen Lishu made a bet with Chen Mancang. If Chen Mancang's house raised the price, Chen Mancang would leave the matter alone in the future. As a result, Chen Mancang really gave him face and followed Chen Lishu's words.
"Uncle, your meat is expensive and I can't afford it, so forget it."
After Chen Lishu said this, she pulled Chen Manyun and turned around to leave.
"You little brat, you are just here to tease us about our feelings!"
Mrs. Chen reacted and rushed over to block the way of the father and daughter.
