After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life
Chapter 108 Collecting Embroidery
The price offered by Shen Xiaoxia is already much higher than what they can get for it outside. No one is willing to buy embroidery now!
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my daughter, it's already a lot."
He looked at Shen Xiaoxia uncertainly and asked, "Are you going to take any amount?"
Shen Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, how about this? First, you can help me control it within 100 pieces at a time. We can only give out a maximum of 30 kilograms of food each time. The rest will be charged. You can control it yourself when the time comes!"
Grandma thought everything Shen Xiaoxia said was fine. She still had some stock. She didn't know how much Shen Xiaoxia wanted before, so she didn't dare to take more from her old sisters. She could ask more later.
The old lady calmed herself down and looked at Shen Xiaoxia again, "My daughter, I've met you several times, but I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
Shen Xiaoxia thought about it and it seemed to be true. After she appeared in this image, she never told the old lady her name, mainly because she didn't plan to leave a name with this image!
Now that grandma asked, she couldn't help but answer. She thought quickly and casually gave herself a new name, "Grandma, my name is Shufen!"
After saying that, Shen Xiaoxia savored it for a while and felt that the word "Shufen" was pretty good. She was quite satisfied with it!
After hearing Shen Xiaoxia's introduction, the old lady repeated it, "Shufen? Good girl, I'll remember it!"
Then she continued, "Shufen, grandma is so grateful to you. If you hadn't helped me before, who knows what would happen to us now?"
It was almost winter at that time, and grandma didn’t have much food left at home!
Many of her old sisters knew about her family’s situation, and those who could help offered help, but it was not easy for her family either!
Before meeting Shen Xiaoxia, the old lady ran to many places and asked many people, hoping to borrow some food or exchange some food.
She couldn't borrow the money because no one believed she could pay it back. They were afraid that lending it would be like throwing meat buns to a dog and it would never come back!
If I wanted to exchange them, many people would ask for exorbitant prices. For two old items, they would give me less than ten kilograms of coarse grains!
If Shen Xiaoxia had shown up one day later, she might have agreed to the other party.
Unfortunately, she met Shen Xiaoxia, a kind-hearted person. She felt sorry for her and Xiaochu and gave them a lot of food. She and Xiaochu managed to survive the winter by saving!
Perhaps thinking of past experiences, the old lady's eyes reddened a little, and she continued, "Xiaochu was a smart and sensible child since he was young. He was originally studying, but because of his parents' problems, his family couldn't support him, so he didn't go!"
Perhaps influenced by the old lady's mood, Shen Xiaoxia's mood also fluctuated for a while. She suppressed her emotions and comforted the old lady, "Grandma, things will get better in the future!"
The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and looked at Shen Xiaoxia again, "Yes, after you told me about that incident, I thought that if you were willing to accept these things, not only Xiaochu and I, but many other families would be grateful to you!"
There are many people of their generation who can embroider, but no one needs embroidery now!
She knows a lot of people who can do it. If Shen Xiaoxia and the others want a lot, she can secretly mobilize them and collect some together!
However, she also needs to think about this matter carefully and can only do it on a small scale so as not to attract too much attention!
Perhaps because she was afraid that Shen Xiaoxia would think too much, the old lady looked at Shen Xiaoxia hesitantly.
Shen Xiaoxia saw that the old lady wanted to ask something but was too embarrassed to speak, so she said directly, "Grandma, is there anything you want to ask me? If you want to ask, just ask directly. I will definitely tell you what I can tell you!"
She cannot disclose anything that involves privacy. After all, one must be on guard against others!
The old lady said a little embarrassedly, "Then I asked directly with a flattering face, so that I can have a better idea in my mind. Girl, how long can you keep this job?"
If it's just a short-term deal, she'll put in some effort. If it's a long-term business, she'll take it slow and think of a comprehensive solution.
It was only 1974, so the earliest they could return to the city was after the college entrance examination was resumed in 77!
Although Han Zhuxin didn't say it, Shen Xiaoxia knew that making clothes was at least a long-term business.
Then embroidery and other things will definitely be needed all the time. It’s hard to say in the future, but at least they need the goods from grandma in the past few years. If they can’t use them all, they can keep them for other uses in the future!
"Grandma, we will probably always need these things, at least we will keep collecting them for the next few years!"
After listening to what Shen Xiaoxia said, the old lady had an idea in her mind. Since it was a long-term job, she could take her time to plan it and would have time to slowly screen people!
"Okay, daughter, grandma understands, thank you!"
"Grandma, you're welcome!"
It's a mutually beneficial thing, and Shen Xiaoxia doesn't suffer any loss in it.
She told the old lady some more precautions, and seeing that she had written them down, Shen Xiaoxia picked up the backpack that she had put on the ground during the conversation and put it back on the table.
"Grandma, this is what I brought today. This is all the food I have. I will take all the embroidery stock you have today. You can only pay for the rest. Is that okay with you?"
Grandma nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"
She got up and walked into her room and took out all the embroidery she had saved.
She returned to the table and handed the embroidery to Shen Xiaoxia.
Shen Xiaoxia reached out to take it, and then counted it.
There are a total of thirty-six embroidery pieces, including ten medium-sized ones and twenty-six small ones.
Shen Xiaoxia originally wanted to exchange the food she brought for seven medium-sized embroidery pieces, but the old lady refused to agree no matter what. The two argued for a long time, and finally ten medium-sized embroidery pieces were used to exchange for the food she brought today!
The remaining 26 small-sized embroidery pieces cost five yuan and twenty cents.
Shen Xiaoxia took advantage of the cover of her shirt pocket and took out five yuan and twenty cents from the space and gave it to the old lady.
The two talked for a while, and Shen Xiaoxia saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye, "Grandma, it's getting late, I'm leaving first!"
The old lady tried to persuade him to stay, "My daughter, it's almost noon. Why don't you have lunch here before leaving?"
The old lady was really grateful to Shen Xiaoxia and wanted to invite her to have a meal to show her gratitude.
Shen Xiaoxia shook her head. "No, grandma, I have an appointment with someone. I have to rush over to meet her now. I also want to have lunch with her!"
I wonder how things are going with Han Zhuxin?
The old lady was skeptical, thinking that Shen Xiaoxia didn't want to trouble her or wanted to save food for her. "My girl, I can still afford a meal!"
Shen Xiaoxia knew that the old lady really wanted to keep her for dinner, but she also had an appointment with Han Zhuxin today. If she didn't go, she was afraid that Han Zhuxin would worry!
Helplessly explaining, "Grandma, I really did make an appointment with someone. Next time if I come here by myself, I'd like to have a meal at your place. Is that okay with you?"
The old lady finally gave up trying to persuade him and said, "Okay, next time you must stay at my house for dinner!"
"Okay, I'll definitely have a meal at Grandma's next time."
If she really eats at grandma's house and brings her own rations, grandma will definitely not accept them. She'll see if she can bring something else with her then!
