Rebirth after the 1950s

Chapter 60 Selling Persimmon Cake

Have you finished your studies?" asked fourth brother Shen Bei

"I finished it a long time ago. I finished it before school yesterday afternoon."

"Why did you finish it before school?" the fourth brother asked again

"Fourth brother, you are so stupid. Don't you have half an hour to study by yourself before school? I have nothing to do. What else can I do if I don't do my homework there?"

"You can play with your classmates," said the third brother

I didn't speak, but kept my head down and walked forward

Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Sister Nannan touched my head and asked, "Mianmian, are you being bullied by someone in the class?"

"Yes, who did you say bullied you? Tell fourth brother that I will find a place for you later. If not, let third brother go too." When fourth brother heard someone bullying me, he jumped out and said

"No one bullied me. They just didn't play with me very much and disliked me for being young. But only my classmate Ruan Yuanyuan was pretty good (not really. Even though she was round, she was actually just a little cabbage. Others looked at her She talks loudly in front of her, and then she cries first. It’s very annoying. From the beginning of the school year to now, I don’t pay much attention to her. Once this kind of person takes over, they are like brown sugar and can’t be chased away, and they always do it. I’ll set you up)”

"As long as no one bullies you, if someone bullies you, just tell us, you know," Sister Nan said

"Well, I know, no one dares to bully me," I said while gesticulating, flashing my fist and then said, "The third brother and the fourth brother will go out to play. My sister and the eldest brother have to study, so can I go out to play?"

"Where are you going to play, who are you going with, or who are you going to find?" asked the eldest brother

"I'll go by myself. It's not far away, just two alleys in front of my house. I live in Courtyard No. ???135, and I'm looking for Ruan Yuanyuan to play with."

"Okay, it's not far, let's go." The eldest brother agreed as soon as he heard that she was very close. He also knew that such a big child could not be controlled at home. At the same time, she had to be exposed to some people. He knew that some people had sinister hearts, but Mianmian had been smart since she was a child. , I know what kind of friends I should make, and I don’t care.

Seeing that the eldest brother agreed, the other three people said nothing more.

It was such a happy decision.After I got home and finished eating, I ran out behind my brothers. They were bigger than me and their legs were longer than mine. By the time I ran to the alley, I had already stopped seeing anyone.I hurriedly ran to a corner, yes, the four corners. When I saw no one, I hurriedly stepped into the space and changed my clothes. Last year's clothes were a finger shorter than the ones inside. Then I smeared something on my face and it looked sallow. Yes, I ordered a pimple. Dressed like this, I looked like a poor family who didn’t have enough to eat. In addition, I was taller than the average child. No matter how others looked at me, they thought I was eight or nine years old.

Come out of the space to see if there is anyone, and quickly go to the back street of the military hospital. There are many rich people there, and those who sell things are rich. Who would come to see a doctor if they don’t have money.At this time you will see a little girl holding a basket covered with a blue canvas, walking left and right in the alley.

When I arrived at the vegetable market, I found a place where no one was around, squatted down, and quickly put my hands in the basket. In an instant, two-thirds of the persimmons were filled in the basket.He lifted up a corner of the cloth and hawked: "I've seen it passing by, don't miss it. These are big and delicious persimmons. They are delicious and not expensive. They cost three cents per tael. Buy five for one penny." one."

People were coming and going on the street, and I heard the voice of a little girl hawking. I quickly walked over. At this time, an uncle in a Chinese tunic suit came over and said directly: "Give me five."

"Okay, here I'll give you a hug." I took out a piece of oil paper from the canvas bag and picked it up.

"Where are your adults? Why are you allowed to sell here?" asked the uncle

"Both my parents have sacrificed their lives. I live with my grandpa. Isn't it because my grandpa is ill? The family continues to use money. There is really no other way. I think of a persimmon tree in the yard. This persimmon was made by my grandpa years ago. It's "Keep it for me as a snack." He then used one hand to pinch his thigh hard, making him cry from the pain.

Now when the uncle in front heard this, he quickly said: "Please give me five more hugs."

"Ugh"

“It’s a dime”

Now the people on the side didn't know what to say after hearing this. Parents sacrificed their lives, which is an honor. Grandpa is sick, and a child can support a family. Oh, poor child.Everyone hurried forward to buy, but they didn't buy much. They all bought five by five. After all, a penny is still very valuable now.Within 5 minutes of this, the basket was sold out.At this time, an aunt quickly asked: "Daughter, do you still have any? My eldest grandson happened to be sick and wanted to eat these persimmons. Didn't all the ones sold during the Chinese New Year be eaten? I wanted to come out and see if they were sold. of"

"Yes, I still have some at home."

"Then can you go back and get it?" the aunt asked carefully

"Yes, yes, we also want to go home and give our children something to eat," said an aunt

"I'm thinking of going to see a patient later. Persimmons are a rarity at this time," said an old man.

"Yeah, last year before the Chinese New Year, most of them were sold out. It's not that easy to find now," said an uncle.

"Then how much do you want? If you want more, I can carry it in a backpack."

"I want ten"

"I want twenty"

"I want ten too"

……

Just like that, after going back and forth, I calculated that these people wanted about 150 pieces, five pieces a pound, which is 30 pounds. My small body could still bear it, so I said, "Okay, I'll go home right now." Carry it on your back,"

After saying that, the basket ran out of the crowd desperately, ran to a corner, ducked into the space, quickly found a backpack about the same size as himself, and quickly put 150 persimmons in it with his consciousness, and put them in the backpack. I took some oil paper and hurriedly put it on my back and went to the vegetable market.

For others, thirty pounds is very heavy, but for me, it is trivial. Who asked me to practice my own mental method from the beginning when I could speak.

I was standing at the stall waiting for the heavy responsibility. Every once in a while, I would see the little girl walking over with a basket on her back. The uncle next to me quickly took the basket off my back. When I held it in my hand, I was still thinking: This is The basket must have weighed thirty kilograms anyway, but the little girl carried it with just a little push. It was amazing, so he said, "This little girl is very strong."

"It's not bad, uncle, my grandpa said I have strong strength from the bottom up."

Just like this, the persimmons in the basket were sold out within 10 minutes. At the same time, I heard that there was a seller of persimmons in this market, so I ran over and asked if there were any more. There was nothing I could do, so I carried them twice in a row and came back to sell them, waiting for the last one. After buying it on the back of an old man, he said, "I'm so sorry, but I sell all the persimmons at home."
