The oxcart arrived at Chenjiacun just in time, and the sun above his head was quite fierce. When Chen Changsheng arrived at the door of his house, he saw Chen Dafu and Chen Erlu preparing to go out.

"Mom, why are you back so early today!?" The two brothers were surprised and happy.

"Big brother and second brother, please guess how many bowls of tofu bread we sold in the city today?" Chen Sixi immediately jogged a few steps to the two brothers, eager to share today's results.

"How many? Are there ten bowls?" Dafu asked tentatively. After all, it was the first time for Mom and others to sell it today, and they didn't know if people in the city liked it.

"Ten bowls? Brother, are you looking down on us too much? Tsk, guess again!"

"Then there can't be more than twenty bowls." Chen Erlu also joined the guessing army, deliberately teasing the little sister.

"That's right, that's right, we sold twenty-nine bowls! All of them were sold out!" Chen Sixi couldn't help but tell the result directly, and said with some pride, "Three cents per bowl, a total of eighty-seven cents were earned. Money. Big brother and second brother, let’s be good.”

Chen Dafu patted his little sister's head and praised her, "Awesome, Sixi is so awesome, Mom is so awesome."

"And me, I washed all the bowls today, and I'm great too! Mom even bought everyone a candied haws, saying it was today's reward." After Sanshou finished speaking, he turned over the candied haws in the basket.

Chen Changsheng smiled and patted Sanshou's hand, "Stop chatting at the door. Let's move everything in first."

Several people carried the barrels, those carrying the pots, and those carrying the baskets.

After entering the house, Chen Changsheng said, "Why haven't you two gone to the fields today?"

She knew that her two sons were hard-working children and should not be lazy at home.

Chen Dafu replied, "Er Lu and I each dug four steps yesterday, and we dug four more steps this morning. We didn't rest until the end of the day, and then we rushed back to have a bite to eat."

"With yesterday's foundation, everyone is more proficient today and the progress is much faster. I estimate that my eldest brother and I can each dig three steps in the afternoon." As if he was afraid that his mother would hold them back, Chen Erlu added, "Don't worry, mother, share it with me." Our fifteen-step mission will definitely be accomplished.”

Chen Changsheng nodded reassuringly, "Go and do your work. Remember to apply some ointment and wear gloves."

Chen Erlu showed his palm and said, "No, my hand is already healed. The ointment my mother gave me was really effective. The wound healed in just two days. It's better to keep such a precious medicine."

Chen Changsheng took the hands of the two children and spread them out, grabbed the ointment and continued to apply it on them, "Mom said, you need to keep applying this ointment. It will heal quickly after a long time, and it must be consolidated and consolidated."

Knowing what the child was thinking, she comforted and said with a smile, "Don't worry, our family is rich now. Although this ointment is not cheap, it is still affordable. Just take care of your body, health is the most important thing. Got it No?"

Several children nodded and said in unison, "I know."

Chen Changsheng seemed to have remembered something, "Mom plans to take all four of you into the city tomorrow, divide into two groups to sell tofu poutine, and start up our tofu poutine business."

"Are you all going to the city? But the work of digging the canals is not finished yet, so it's hard to leave." Although the eldest and second eldest brother also want to go to the city to help sell tofu nao, important matters in the village cannot be left behind.

Chen Sanshou raised his hand and interrupted, "Mom, Sixi and I can help. Although the two of us are not as strong as others, we can save a lot of time by cooperating with the eldest brother and the second brother."

"Yes, I will be responsible for transporting the excavated mud away." Chen Sixi thought of the scene she saw yesterday when she and her mother went to the fields to deliver food to the brothers. "Let's set off now. If we work early, we can dig more!"

Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement. The four of them should be able to dig a lot this afternoon, which would reduce the workload tomorrow. Even if they can't bring both the eldest and the second child into the city, it would be good to take one with them.

Sanshou and Sixi changed into their old clothes and went out. Chen Changsheng was not idle either. She first poured a thin layer of water on the pepper seeds in the backyard. These pepper seeds would have to wait a few more days to germinate.

I also washed and soaked the ten pounds of soybeans I just bought in the afternoon. They will be ready for use tomorrow morning.

Aunt Ma next door heard the commotion from the Chen family and saw that Chen Changsheng was back, so she brought over the vegetables harvested today.

"Sister-in-law Chen, there are fifty-three kilograms in total here. I told you about collecting ground vegetables. The women and children in our village all went up to the mountains to pick some when they had free time today. I collected them according to your request. You Are you okay?" Aunt Ma took the vegetables and showed them to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng turned it over with his hands and found that today's dishes were very clean, with almost no sediment. He only needed to rinse them briefly before putting them in the pot.

She asked in surprise, "Why is it so clean?"

Usually, what I pick at home is mixed with a lot of sediment, and it takes a lot of effort for several children to wash it off.

Aunt Ma smiled and said, "Originally it was not so clean. Some women wanted to take some weeds to make up the money. I found out and asked her to clean them up before bringing them back. There were also some that were mixed with mud and sand, so I asked them to take them back. Clean it first and then send it over.”

Seemingly embarrassed, Aunt Ma's face was a little red, "Well, my Tiedan and Dongmei didn't have anything to do today, so I asked them to go to the mountains to pick more than ten kilograms. Auntie, I thought it would be so easy. Song made you ten cents, but he was not too embarrassed, so he asked them to clean all the vegetables in the afternoon. "

After saying that, Aunt Ma returned the extra forty-seven cents to Chen Changsheng, "Can you count it?"

As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, and Chen Changsheng is also a straight-forward person. He can't be careless when it comes to money. She counted it in person, and there was no shortage.

Chen Changsheng accepted the land, vegetables and money with confidence, and counted five copper coins and came out, "Aunt Ma, I really need to thank you for this today. You helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would have to wash these things until I was full at night." midnight."

Aunt Ma refused, "Oh, what's the trouble? If you hadn't collected vegetables from the land, how could I have made any money? I've already made ten cents today, why did you give me five cents for it? You can't do it!"

She never thought that her two children could still earn ten cents.

Ten cents is almost as much as what an adult makes working in the city. The village only paid five cents a day to the twenty people who took the initiative to dig ditches.

Chen Changsheng said sternly, "I'm not kidding. I know that washing vegetables requires repeated scrubbing. It's troublesome and labor-intensive. Tiedan and Dongmei deserve these five cents."

Seeing Chen Changsheng's resolute attitude, and recalling her son and girl washing themselves there in the afternoon, Aunt Ma no longer refused, "Then I will thank you on behalf of Tiedan and Dongmei."

Seeing Aunt Ma accept the money, Chen Changsheng spoke out his thoughts, "Aunt Ma, the quality of the dishes you collected for me today is very good, and I am very satisfied. I want to take care of all the food collection work in the future. For you, aunt."

She wants to do business subcontracting.
