Because Dengwei's father said that his wood was almost used up, and it was estimated that there would be no more materials available in another two or three days, so after breakfast the next day, Xiang Jin and the others said hello to her grandmother.
Go directly up the mountain and ask Aidenwei to go to the town with his wife to help them select wood, because they really don't know much about this.
Dengwei's father was very happy. He put down the plane in his hand, quickly changed into clean clothes and went to town with them.
He first led them to visit all the lumber shops in the town, and then learned about their situations, such as the quality of the lumber, the price of the lumber, and whether the lumber was in stock at any time, etc.
After walking around for a while, he said to them, "These are the only ones at the moment. While I was learning about the lumber situation in each shop, I believe you also have a general understanding of the owners of those shops.
It’s up to you to decide which one to choose.”
By not giving them any advice, Dengwei's father was obviously trying to avoid suspicion. Xiang Jin could roughly understand what he was thinking. He was simply afraid that they would be overly concerned and think that he was colluding with some lumber shop owners to deceive them.
I have to say that Aidenwei is overly concerned. In fact, they still believe in their family, but he doesn't want to say more, and she won't force him.
Yang Juyun looked at Xiang Jin, "How about it, which one should we choose?"
Xiang Jin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to that house with Guangyuan. I think the boss is quite cheerful. Although the price is not the most expensive or the cheapest among them, it is better than others."
The quality of the wood is pretty good, let’s go have a good talk with him and the price should be able to come down a bit.”
When Aidenwei heard what she said, he gave her a look of approval.
Yang Juyun said, "Okay, then it's up to you to decide this matter."
The three of them then went to Caiyuan Guangjin together, where they bargained with the boss for a while, and finally settled on the wood, and then the two parties agreed to deliver it tomorrow.
After the matter was settled, Dengwei's father said that he still had some things to do, so he separated from them. Xiang Jin and her mother first went to the shop that collected medicinal materials to help Xiang Nan collect the half-finished herbs she had dug recently.
Xia was sold, and the little girl was sold for more than thirteen yuan today.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Jin and the others went to the vegetable market to cut some meat and buy some large bones, and then returned home directly.
On the way back, Xiang Jin saw her mother looking worried. When she got home, she asked her what was wrong.
Yang Juyun took her hand and frowned and said, "I did a rough calculation in the car today. We have spent a total of more than 2,600 yuan so far."
As soon as she said these words, Xiang Jin knew what she was worried about, so he comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, we have basically bought all the materials that need to be bought, even if we need to replenish some supplies later."
How much? The materials for making furniture have been decided today. The next step is to buy some grids and purlins, and pay the craftsmen's wages, which are only fifteen hundred to two thousand yuan at most. Don't worry.
You have enough money."
Yang Juyun said, "Enough is enough, I'm afraid there won't be much left by then. You two sisters will start school soon, and you have to pay tuition then. Winter is coming soon, so we still need to buy some."
As for bedding, pots and pans, etc., didn’t you tell me to go to the town and open a shop? I’m just figuring it all out, but I still feel like the money isn’t enough.”
When Xiang Jin thought about it, she really wanted to touch her regular bank deposit. She thought for a while and shook her head in her heart. No, the money couldn't be touched. That was her confidence.
But what to do? She currently only has more than 1,300 yuan in her credit card. She can be responsible for her and Xiang Nan's tuition fees, and she can also be responsible for the sheets, quilt covers, pots and pans that need to be prepared at home.
Just rent a shop for her mother in the town.
As a child, she could pay half a year's rent. Some time ago, she went to the town to find out that the annual rent for a twenty-square-meter shop opposite the town's middle school and next to the vegetable market was about
It looks like more than 800 yuan.
But after the more than 1,300 yuan was spent on these things, her previous plan of giving 400 yuan to her two uncles and their family was probably no longer possible, so she told her mother, "That's good."
Well, let’s not worry about giving the two uncles four hundred yuan each. We can wait until the end of the year after our shop has opened and we have made money.”
Her mother said, "Actually, I didn't really agree with giving money to your two uncles. It would be too unruly, but I think it's okay for you to say this now."
Xiang Jin gave her an annoyed look, "You just want to be a miser. Although your brother is your biological brother, your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not your biological sisters!
We are also a family, but instead of working outside to earn money to support the family every day, we come here to work for you for free? Do you really think that they don’t have any thoughts in their hearts? Do they deserve it or owe you?"
After being taught such a merciless lesson by his daughter, Yang Juyun immediately fell silent, and then said to Xiang Jin, "I still have thirteen hundred yuan. If you really don't have enough by then, I will give it to you!"
But mom, you have to remember, don’t say this again in the future, we still have to honor the money I said before to give to my uncles."
Yang Juyun said, "Okay, I understand," then she took Xiang Jin's hand and said, "Do you really want to give me your money?"
Xiang Jin said angrily, "What can I do? I can't just watch you worry about money? Oh, okay, okay, at worst you can pay me back after you make money. What a big deal?"
"
The corners of Yang Juyun's lips curled up into a smile, "Okay, I listen to you, let's just be tighter this year, and we'll be fine after a while."
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded.
After Yang Juyun went out, Xiang Jin frowned. No, she couldn't just sit back and wait for death. She still had to find a way to make some money.
But after thinking for a long time, Xiang Jin couldn't come up with an answer, so she changed her clothes and went out to work. The corn at home hadn't been shucked yet, so she had to finish it as soon as possible.
In the middle of the afternoon, all the corn cobs in their house were peeled. Her grandmother saw that it was still early, so she said that she would also bring back some of the corn cobs that were left at Grandma Mo's house and peel them.
I went to Grandma Mo's house with a backpack.
Grandma Mo knew that they were returning to Backpack Valley, so she helped them pick it up. Then Xiang Jin asked, "Grandma Mo, are you home alone today?"
Grandma Mo nodded, "Yes, Yan Chen went to town with his grandpa, and I am the only one at home."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Grandma Mo asked again, "Have you finished peeling all the corn in that mountain?"
"Well, I'm done peeling it off!" Xiang Jin nodded again.
Grandma Mo sighed lovingly, "Oh, more people means faster things."
Xiang Jin's grandmother also had a smile on her face, "Yes, there is that thing for shucking corn, and with the large number of people in the family, it was all done in one go. If God is kind in the future, it can be bagged and stored soon."
Already."
Grandma Mo joked with her, "Let girl Jin bring you some of those things back then."
Her grandmother said, "Take it back, take it back, bring it back a long time ago. Last time they laid the foundation, I took it back when I went back. She brought three for her two uncles and their family.
It’s just that the corn we have is not ripe yet, so it will take a while before we can use it.”
Grandma Mo said, "That one is easy to use!"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "Well, I used it. It's very convenient and easy!"
Xiang Jin and the others carried a basket back and peeled it. Later, she and her two cousins went to Grandma Mo’s house to carry back the remaining corn cobs, because Yang Hui and Yang Zhao said that the remaining corn cobs
There are not many corn cobs left, and Xiang Jin and grandma can finish them if they take some time, so the two brothers will not come tomorrow.
Xiang Jin was embarrassed to waste their time any longer. After all, they were both still students and usually had summer homework to do, so he nodded in agreement.
