Rebirth 80: Beautiful Hot Wife in Charge
Chapter 20 The little girl is quite good at talking
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any extra eggs at home?" Xue Xiaozhu asked them with a smile.
The women who were washing clothes were not wary of the two little girls.
When asked about eggs, several women said they had eggs at home.
"Someone in my family is in confinement after childbirth, and I want to collect some eggs." She made up an excuse.
Xue Xiaotao, who had rarely traveled far, wanted to talk to her sister, but she couldn't say the words.
I could only nod and help push the bicycle so that my sister could move around freely.
"Yes, yes, but the price of eggs cannot be too low." said the woman who had eggs at home.
It is not easy to take the eggs that we usually save at home to the city to sell, so they are usually eaten before they are sold.
The main reason is that it is too far from the city. It takes seven or eight hours to walk to the city, and a whole day to go back and forth, which is a huge waste of time.
Everyone has to earn work points, but after wasting seven or eight hours, they don’t earn a single work point when they come back.
"Five cents each. If my family wasn't in a hurry to buy eggs for my sister-in-law during her confinement, I wouldn't have come here."
"My sister-in-law gave birth in a hurry, and we didn't prepare many things at home." Xue Xiaozhu calmly stated a price.
One woman looked at each other and tentatively said, "The supply and marketing cooperative offers more than this price."
"I definitely can't afford the supply and marketing cooperative's price. Big sister, do you want to sell me some eggs?" Xue Xiaozhu was not afraid of comparing their prices with those of the supply and marketing cooperative. It would be very troublesome to get from the village to the city.
If someone comes to collect eggs, they are willing to make some concessions.
Of course, we can't make too many concessions. These people should have an idea of this.
"Girl, come here, I want to sell it to you." An elderly grandmother waved quickly.
The old lady's legs and feet are not very convenient. Apart from working in the fields, she has no way of going into the city.
She has saved dozens of eggs over the past few months, hoping that if anyone from the village comes to the city, she can take them with her to sell.
Who would have thought that the fields have been so busy these past few months that no one has time to go into the city.
If she continued like this, she was afraid that the eggs would go bad, and she would be heartbroken.
"Okay, grandma, how many eggs do you have?" Xue Xiaozhu went over and lent a hand, helping her over the threshold.
Seeing that she was kind enough to help her, the old lady's frown softened: "Little girl, you are quite nice."
"There are thirty-five of them. Take them all if you want. I've been saving them for months. My chickens lay pretty big eggs."
Seeing the eggs in the basket, I realized that what the old lady said was true. The eggs were quite big.
But some are also very small. Nowadays, eggs come in different sizes, but they can also be sold in two batches.
"Okay, I'll buy them all. Thirty-five for $1.75. I'll give you $1.80, okay?"
After Xue Xiaozhu asked her elder sister to order the eggs, she took out some banknotes from her pocket and counted out one dollar and eighty cents for the old lady.
Why not give five cents more? After the old lady accepted it, she dipped her fingers in saliva and started counting.
When the others saw Xue Xiaozhu accepted thirty-five eggs, they stopped bargaining, fearing that she would not accept theirs.
"Girl, five cents each is five cents each. I have fifteen here, please count them." A woman hurried over with eggs.
The people behind them all saved some eggs here and there. Although they were reluctant to eat them, they sometimes had to feed them to their family members to nourish their bodies.
The busy farm work in the fields can be exhausting, and without eating something good, it's impossible to survive.
Xue Xiaozhu counted the eggs he collected. In total, he collected eighty eggs and spent four yuan and five cents.
"Make sure you count the money. If you lose any money after leaving this village, I won't claim it." Xue Xiaozhu reminded them.
"Grandma, is it easy to buy things here?" she asked casually.
After counting the money, the old lady felt a headache when she heard the word "buying things": "It's not easy at all."
"I want to buy two boxes of matches, but no one has them yet! Our village is too remote, too far from the city."
"That's right. Many things are unavailable for purchase, and no one in the village is willing to go to the city for bulk purchases."
When it comes to this, the women who came with eggs all had something to say, which was that they felt buying things was too difficult.
But although they said so, they were used to it, and the village they lived in was still outside.
There are even more people deeper inside, and these people only come out once every six months.
"The main reason is that you are too far away from the city. It takes more than ten hours to go back and forth!" Xue Xiaozhu calculated and felt his scalp tingling.
Even with a bicycle, it would still take a long time.
To be honest, she felt that the village where she lived was too far from the city, and it was very inconvenient to buy things.
"That's right, girl. If you still want eggs, you can buy them in our village."
"That's right. Your sister-in-law is in confinement after giving birth. Do you want to bring some more chickens back? I have chickens at home." The old lady held the money and smiled.
People living in the mountains raise more chickens and ducks because the management here is not very strict.
Hearing that they also wanted to sell live chickens and ducks, Xue Xiaozhu thought for a moment and left some wiggle room: "I have to go home and ask my parents about this. If they want to buy it, I will come to you again to buy it."
"Live chickens and ducks are not as valuable as eggs. They are more valuable than eggs!"
Unless it is a festival, few families would be willing to buy live chickens and ducks.
Speaking of festivals, Xue Xiaozhu thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and maybe he could make some sales.
"Okay, but you must remember to come here." The old lady cared about this.
The two sisters put the eggs into a beech basket and stacked it tightly with layers of straw.
Xue Xiaozhu was afraid that the mountain road was too bumpy and the eggs would be broken, so he laid them layer by layer.
I'm not afraid of the trouble, but I'm afraid of getting nothing and losing my four dollars and five cents.
"Let's go!" Xue Xiaozhu got on his bicycle and waved to the people in the village with a smile.
Xue Xiaotao, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, also imitated and waved her hands. She wanted to shout but was too embarrassed to do so.
After leaving the village, Xue Xiaotao, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally asked, "Sister, will we have too many eggs to sell?"
"How can we not sell all the eggs? I went to the family compound today and people surrounded me and asked if I had any eggs to sell."
"If it's still early, I'd like to ride my bike and go to the city again." Xue Xiaozhu was full of energy.
When they returned to their village and had just put their bicycles in the house, they heard someone calling their names.
"Xiaozhu, it's bad, your mother is going to be beaten." Liu Chunlan ran very fast, fearing that something would happen if she was slow.
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiaozhu didn't even lock the door of the house and ran towards the old house.
