Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Song Shuangshuang looked at her younger brother and asked him to come forward.

Song Youlin: “…”Okay, it’s like this again.

"Auntie, my sister is thinking about you, and you have taken good care of us. These two pig's trotters were bought for two dollars and fifty cents. We don't make much money from you, but we will give you the money we earn. What do you think?" Song Youlin said without hesitation.

Pig's trotters are not as fragrant as fat, and they require a lot of firewood to stew. Nowadays, few people buy them except for those who have just given birth and have no milk.

"Okay, okay, okay!" She would pay even five dollars, not to mention three. As long as her grandson had milk to drink, it was fine.

Seeing Aunt Xie go back to the house to get the money, Song Shuangshuang quickly took out two handfuls of soybeans from the supermarket and put them in the basket.

"Auntie, I still have two handfuls of soybeans, you can take them too." She had already paid the original price for the pig's trotters, so a handful of soybeans was not a big deal.

Aunt Xie looked at the brother and sister as if they were boys giving away money.

Aunt Xie was also very thoughtful. She accepted the two handfuls of soybeans sent by Song Shuangshuang and asked the siblings what else they had brought. She had to buy something to show her appreciation.

Song Shuangshuang smiled so hard that her eyes curved. Aunt Xie was such a good person! Then she lifted the cover and let Aunt Xie take a look.

The things in this basket reflect her little thoughts.

In addition to the usual pork, there were red dates, millet, brown sugar, eggs and other things in the basket. Of course, there were other things as well, otherwise her purpose would be obvious at a glance.

Aunt Xie really wanted everything she saw. She thought she would buy less, but she still bought a lot. The reason was simple. Song Shuangshuang's food looked better than those from the supply and marketing cooperative and the grain station. Although the price was a bit more expensive, it was worth it. She had to nourish her daughter-in-law so that her grandson could also eat well.

After a few months, when my daughter-in-law goes back to work, the family income will be higher.

Song Youlin saw that his sister specially prepared things for Aunt Xie's family, and Aunt Xie really bought a little bit of everything. He couldn't help but sigh that his sister was really good at making money.

If Song Shuangshuang knew what her brother was thinking, she would definitely tell him that it is easiest to make money from children in this era.

Which elder doesn't love his grandchildren, especially those who are just born. Of course, those who prefer sons to daughters and those who are mentally ill are excluded.

Song Shuangshuang calculated that what Aunt Xie bought today was almost as much as an ordinary worker's monthly salary, so she took out five eggs and a handful of dates from the basket.

"Auntie, this is a gift from me." Auntie bought so much, she had to show some appreciation so that she could continue to make money from her in the future... No, it was business.

Aunt Xie accepted it with a smile.

Song Shuangshuang took the money and wanted to chat with Aunt Xie for a while when she heard a baby crying from the house. Aunt Xie's attention was immediately drawn to the baby. She subconsciously stood up and was about to go into the house, but suddenly she remembered that Song Shuangshuang and her brother were still there.

The brother and sister were also considerate. They stood up, picked up their things, said goodbye and left.

After leaving Aunt Xie's house, Song Shuangshuang walked to the next door and changed the things in the basket.

She almost understands the needs of every customer, accurately positions product push, and makes full use of supermarket resources to obtain the greatest benefits for herself.

Two hours passed unknowingly. Song Shuangshuang asked Song Youlin to continue selling things while she went to see if Tan Anjing needed any restocking.

After a morning, both groups had made great gains. Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin even went to Brother Hai's place and said they would deliver another batch of goods in the afternoon, and this time they wanted to exchange some tickets.

Although Song Shuangshuang was quite generous in exchanging tickets for the villagers, she still had the habit of hoarding goods. How did that saying go?

If you have food in your pocket, you won’t be worried!

In the afternoon, Song Shuangshuang and her brother received another huge stack of money. Song Shuangshuang was so happy that she even hummed a little tune on the way back.

When Song Shuangshuang returned home in the evening, she didn't mind the trouble. She took out the pork and told a few people to make some dumplings tonight. The weather was not hot yet, so it would be better to make more at a time so that they wouldn't have to make them the next day.

Song Shuangshuang’s main point is to be lazy if possible and she is determined not to do any more work.

Tan Anjing always listened to Song Shuangshuang. They ordered two plates of meat at the state-owned restaurant at noon, so it was okay to eat less at night.

Besides, who would dislike white flour dumplings?

Song Youlin fished out all the pickled cabbages in the jar. If he didn't eat them, they would rot.

The four of them continued to divide the work and cooperate with each other. Song Youlin rolled the dough, Tan Anjing and Song Shuangshuang made dumplings, and the task of arranging the dumplings was given to He Feiyang.

This time they had to cook all the dumplings in one go. While Song Shuangshuang was cooking the dumplings, Song Youlin and He Feiyang went out to clean the sauerkraut jar and put the big soybean paste that Aunt Chang had taught them to make some time ago. They would have to make the paste on April 8th, and it happened that the sauerkraut jar was emptied out, so they didn't have to buy a new one.

Tan Anjing was also outside the kitchen peeling garlic and mashing garlic. Now she has to put some garlic paste on dumplings and buns, otherwise she always feels like something is missing.

After He Feiyang and Tan An returned, Song Shuangshuang and her brother calculated how much money they had saved in the house.

Looking at the pile of money on the kang, Song Shuangshuang thought she should get a money counting machine. There were no hundred-yuan notes now, only ten-yuan notes. How long would it take her to count them?

And she often made mistakes when ordering, so she had to try again.

Seeing his sister looking at him, Song Youlin immediately crossed his arms over his chest.

"Sister, don't even think about it. Didn't you always say that you wanted to count money until your hands cramped? Look, here's your chance. Let's each have half. Don't rush and count them slowly." It would take him a long time to count so much money by himself.

Song Shuangshuang curled her lips and pushed most of the money to her younger brother.

"Here, these are yours. Put a hundred in a pile." Song Shuangshuang found a box of sealed bags from the supermarket and placed them on the kang.

The corner of Song Youlin's mouth twitched. His sister was really good at thinking of ways. She even took out a sealed bag.

Fortunately, most of the money had been sorted and not lumped together, so it was easy to count. But even so, Song Shuangshuang still counted it again twice, and each time she felt that she had counted wrong halfway through, so she started again from the beginning.

When Song Youlin finished counting the big pile of lumps in front of him, there were still a lot of lumps in front of his sister. Song Youlin had no choice but to help his sister share some of the lumps.

"You did it on purpose, don't think I don't know."

Song Shuangshuang pretended to be innocent and said, "Dear brother, what are you talking about?"

Song Youlin rolled his eyes and said that if she started acting like a drama queen again, he would not care about her anymore.

Song Shuangshuang immediately shut up, lowered her head to sort out the banknotes in front of her, placed them neatly in front of her brother, and said flatteringly, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

After more than half an hour of sorting and counting, the brother and sister finally calculated their current savings.

Including what they brought from the countryside, the total amount was RMB 37.

There are both zeros and integers.

Song Shuangshuang put the 13 sealed bags containing the whole money in her wallet, and put the remaining 100 yuan in a box at the entrance of the supermarket. She gave half of the remaining yuan to her younger brother and kept the other half in her own room.

She felt that there should be at least some money in the house so that if a thief broke in, he wouldn't be able to steal much. If there was really nothing at all, the thief would always be thinking about their house.
