After cleaning up, the ladies sat around and began to count and calculate the total amount of grain sold today, as well as the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs.
Yang Juyun is responsible for counting the large bills, such as one hundred yuan, fifty yuan, and ten yuan, while Xiang Nan is responsible for sorting out the dimes, pieces, and cents.
Xiang Jinze is responsible for settling accounts.
She took out a small book, which contained the accounts of every item she sold today, but the price level in this era was really low, even though it was already the 1990s.
The price of live pigs is only 21 kilograms for one piece of mainland China, while millet is 43 cents per kilogram, grain is 32 cents and 5 cents per kilogram, wheat is 43 cents and 5 cents per kilogram, and peanuts are 60.2 cents per kilogram.
, chicken is 1.55 cents per catty, duck is 1.34 cents per catty, and goose is 1.80 cents per catty.
Three fat pigs, raised for a couple of years, totaling about 700 kilograms, only sold for more than 600 yuan. Thirty years later, the price of woolly pigs would be at least ten yuan per kilogram.
The same goes for this grain. The three of them got up from dawn to pack, and then worked all morning, emptying out all the money in the house. The millet was only sold for more than 500 yuan, and the corn was 440 yuan.
Ten yuan and a few cents, wheat is only more than 370 yuan.
The chickens, ducks, geese, and peanuts all together only cost more than 280 yuan.
There are so many things, and the total ledger only amounts to 1,970 land blocks and 39 cents. That’s what it means. This is the output value of her mother’s busy year, oh, it’s not just that, it seems that there is also the year before last in it.
of surplus grain.
I still don’t know what their actual counting status is?
Xiang Jin settled the accounts and then went to help Xiang Nan sort out the scattered bills.
After about a few more minutes, Yang Juyun handed her a wad of colorful banknotes in his hand, "Xiang Jin, please help mom click it again. I counted it several times and it turned out to be one thousand nine hundred and five."
Xiang Jin took it, counted it, and nodded, "Yes, that's right, there are so many."
Yang Juyun immediately beamed, "Oh, I didn't expect to sell so many of them? The price this year is quite good, and it has increased a lot.
In previous years, it was called low. In previous years, the price of raw pigs was only 50 or 60 cents, or 60 or 70 cents per catty, and the same was true for grain. At the lowest point, we sold millet and wheat for more than 30 cents per catty, and grains for 25 cents.
.”
Xiang Nan handed the pile of broken banknotes to Xiang Jin, "It's a pity that the pigs were hungry this morning. If they were full, we could sell them for more money."
"
In rural areas, everyone has an unspoken habit, that is, they like to feed the pigs vigorously before fattening them, so that the pigs have round waists and full bellies, so that they can be weighed.
Some of them know how to feed the pigs, and the pigs are willing to eat them. A meal as small as 20 or 30 kilograms of pig food would be required, and some as large as 40 or 50 kilograms of pig food.
Xiang Jin took the money and counted it with a smile on his lips, and Yang Juyun slapped Xiang Nan on the shoulder, "Don't think about taking advantage of others. If you take advantage of others, how can you know others?"
Won't it come back to take advantage of you?
No one is stupid now, and no one wants to be taken advantage of. If you don’t treat others sincerely, how can others treat you sincerely?”
Xiang Nan curled his lips and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "You treat others sincerely, but what's the result? Did others treat you sincerely? You just kicked us three out of the house!"
Yang Juyun was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her face dropped, and she looked sad.
"Xiang Nan?!" Xiang Jin saw Xiang Nan and scolded him sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about there? How can that person compare with others?
Some people are just rotten at heart. No matter how kind or sincere you are to them, they will not be satisfied, nor will they be grateful or moved by you, let alone thank you. Some people will remember it even if you treat them well once inadvertently.
For life.
The Lao Xiang family and Aunt Liao are the best examples. Therefore, if you don't think that a person or family treats you well and is not sincere, then you should suspect that everyone in the world will not treat you well and treat you sincerely.
It’s unacceptable for you to be like this, do you know that?
No matter who we are, we must first treat others with a sincere heart. You know, you must firmly believe that there are always more good people than bad people in the world, and there are more sincere people than insincere people.
Mom is right, only if we treat others sincerely, others will treat us sincerely. As a human being, you have to give up first before you can gain anything. If you are reluctant to give yourself, why should you get it from others? "
Xiang Nan lowered her head after being scolded by her sister, with tears welling up in her eyes. After a long while, she bit her lip and said to her sister and her mother, "Sister, I'm sorry, I'll remember it. I'll never do that again."
Yes; Mom, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that to you.”
Yang Juyun wiped the corners of her eyes, and then comforted, "It's okay, it's okay. Mom doesn't blame you. Mom knows you didn't mean it."
Xiang Jin sighed and then walked to Xiang Nan, lowered his head, and said warmly to her, "I don't mean to blame you. I just hope that you will be a cheerful and open-minded child in the future, and don't be like
People from Lao Xiang's family are so small-minded and don't know enough, so you will suffer losses in the future, you know?"
"But they didn't suffer any loss?" Xiang Nan looked at her with some confusion.
Xiang Jin asked, "How come they didn't suffer a loss? You see, we have sold out all the food at home, and also sold the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs. If they want to farm in the future, they will have to work in the fields themselves."
This is nothing, she had observed in the morning that Xiang Tao Wutou was not a vegetarian and easy to get along with.
There are a few people with good feet and hands, and they are not very old, only about sixty years old. They just do nothing and just play for nothing. Is it strange that Xiang Tao's house is comfortable?
She left this topic here for the time being. It seemed that the life of the old man and his daughter was not as comfortable as living with her mother.
When Xiang Nan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes turned into bean horns when he smiled, "Hey, it's true. If they hadn't been so petty and couldn't tolerate us, we wouldn't have sold it for so much money today."
, and asked Xiang Hai and Xiang Tao to pay three thousand yuan."
Then Yang Juhua suddenly said, "Oh, yes, yes, we asked for three thousand yuan from them today," and then she quickly took out the money from her left trouser pocket and put it on the table.
Xiang Jin asked, "Mom, how much money did you save before?"
Yang Juyun said, "It looks like six to seven hundred yuan."
Xiang Jin was silent for a moment. They now had a total of more than 5,000 yuan, and then she asked again, "Mom, how much are the bricks and tiles now, and how much are the stones?"
Her mother said, "The blue bricks seem to be one-and-a-half pieces. The red bricks are cheaper. The red bricks are one-piece pieces, and the tiles are also divided into two pieces."
Shitou doesn't know, so I have to ask."
Xiang Jin was silent for a moment in his heart. It was really cheap, but low prices had the advantage of low prices.
Look, they only cost 750 yuan to buy 50,000 pieces of green bricks, and only 120 yuan to buy 10,000 pieces of green tiles. She only paid 300 yuan for the stones, which was only 300 yuan in total.
It’s only less than 1,200 yuan.
"Mom, how much labor does it cost to build our house?"
Her mother said, "Big jobs are five yuan a day, and small jobs are four yuan a day."
Xiang Jin was thinking that if it took two months to build a house, the labor cost would be 540 yuan.
"What about river sand and cement? And pebbles and steel bars?" she continued to ask.
Yang Juyun said, "River sand cement? Where do we use that here? We just crush the foam claw stones from the mountain directly and put them together with lime. Steel bars and pebbles are not used. Unless we are building a building and erecting pillars, usually they are
Just use bricks to put it on."
Xiang Jin asked, "Is this okay? Is it strong?"
Yang Juyun said, "It's all like this. We've lived here for decades without any problems."
Xiang Jin frowned slightly. This was too simple and casual. If this happened in a year of great disaster, like the WC earthquake in 2008, would it still be a big deal?
