Quick Wear: We are not a strategy system

After finishing a day's farm work, Jiang Yuan came back, ate two bowls of rice and went to bed.

I was so tired that I didn't want to move, and my brain was almost unable to work. Farm work was really tiring. But without capital, it seemed unrealistic to do anything.

Today, the rice at home is all gone, and we have to go buy some more rice. There is still a long time before the autumn harvest, so there is only expenditure and no income during this period. The chickens and ducks raised at home were killed last year, and now it costs dozens of dollars to buy a few. If you make a living by raising eggs from chickens, it is the lowest cost, but you can't make much money in a few years, at most you can subsidize the family.

There was absolutely no way she could balance earning money and studying at the same time.

Forget it, but I still have to buy chicken tomorrow. Who can stand eating the same old pickled vegetables every day for too long?

At five in the morning, grandma got up and made a paste with cornmeal. Jiang Yuan quickly washed his face and helped grandma light the fire. In the morning, two pots of water had to be boiled for drinking today. Jiang Yuan boiled the pots for a while before the water got too hot and he started sweating early in the morning.

Corn has a coarse fragrance. Although it doesn't have much taste, it's a rare opportunity to eat it, and I actually think it's very delicious. It will be even more fragrant if you simmer it for a while to get some rice crust.

Grandma went to get the money and began to count the accounts in detail: "I only saved a few hundred yuan, thinking that I would give you a dowry when you got married. It's not much, but it's a thoughtful gesture. But your mother was so cruel that she didn't leave you any money. This is the money that bought my son's life, but she didn't even want to leave you a little dowry. When you get married in the future, our family can't even afford a dowry. It's so ridiculous. If you go to someone else's house, they will definitely look down on you. Without your natal family to support you, what if your husband's family bullies you?"

As she spoke, she began to wipe away tears again. Jiang Yuan comforted her: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I can still make money, and we have hands and feet, so how can we not live together?"

Grandma's tone suddenly became stern: "How can that be? You're going to be a big girl soon. If you don't get married, you'll become an old maid and won't be able to get married. Without a man, you'll definitely be bullied. Save more money in the next few years while I'm still able to work..."

Jiang Yuan didn't argue with her, because what she said made sense. Jiang Yuan washed the dishes and washed her face with a basin of water. She had been working for the past few days and had been tanned a lot, so she put on some vanishing cream.

It was just after seven when I finished packing, just in time to catch the bus.

In the village, people go to the market by waiting for someone with a car to go, and they all agree to share a ride. If no one with a car wants to go, they hire a tricycle together and pay for it. Today, I was lucky because someone in the village wanted to go to town, so I could just take a ride and save some money.

Jiang Yuan greeted the family members who had cars very obediently, and received a lot of sympathetic and loving looks.

There would definitely be gossip about her family on the road. After all, among all the people in the village, her mother was the most outrageous. Who wouldn't curse her when seeing her?

Grandma can also talk a lot. She can start from how Jiang Yuan's mother was cruel and didn't treat her well since she was a child, and how she didn't buy new clothes for Jiang Yuan during the Chinese New Year. She keeps talking all the way. In the end, she cries herself. If the audience reacts enthusiastically, there will definitely be several people crying.

Jiang Yuan just lowered her head silently, she was used to it, it was just a look of three parts loving, three parts sighing, and four parts sympathy. She saw it every day.

The city was indeed bustling, and the vegetable market was bustling with people. The narrow road was lined with small stalls on both sides, selling everything.

Jiang Yuan was afraid of getting separated from his grandmother, so he dragged her to a place that sold grain, oil or chickens. But his grandmother looked surprised and asked, "Why are you dragging me over there?"

Jiang Yuan was puzzled: "Aren't we here to buy rice and chicken? They sell them over there."

Grandma supported Jiang Yuan's hand that was holding her arm, and brought her back. She leaned over to her ear and whispered, "It's expensive to go there. The rice sold on the roadside is cheaper. The rice is grown at home, so you can bargain."

Grandma skillfully asked the rice seller on the roadside: "How much is this rice?"

The man smiled when he saw the business coming: "Two dollars a pound."

Grandma said "Huh?" with a long tone, looking very shocked: "Why is it so expensive?"

The man was a little anxious: "This is hybrid rice. The seedlings are not cheap, so this price is not expensive. I sell it because I can't finish it at home."

Grandma grabbed a handful of rice, looked at it carefully, pointed to one spot and said, "Look, it's not that good. There's bad rice in it, and there's black rice here. Can you make it cheaper?"

The other person followed her hand and looked at it, then immediately picked out the grain of rice and threw it away: "It's just a little bit. If you really want to buy it, 1.8 yuan is fine. It's just this bag, and I'll go back after I sell it."

Grandma still looked reluctant: "Will you sell it for one dollar? I can see there is a black one, there must be worms, there must be more bad ones below, you are selling so much, it's too expensive. And this rice is stale, if you don't sell it, you won't be able to sell it. I'll take all of it for one dollar."

The man was shocked: "There are no worms. Let me turn it over for you. There is pure white rice underneath. One dollar is too cheap. My rice is fuller than others. You can buy the worst rice for only one dollar per pound."

Grandma was about to leave. "The store ahead is selling cheaper than you. Who wants your old rice? It will be wasted if you can't sell it. I'm buying with sincerity. I'll take this whole bag if you can get a lower price. You should also close your stall early."

The man stopped them after seeing the grandmother walk a few steps: "If you want it, take it. I'll go back early. Try this rice when you go back. It's definitely different from the one you buy at the food store."

Grandma squatted down with a smile and looked at him and said, "That's right, the rice in the grain store doesn't look this big."

This bag of rice cost eighty-nine yuan, and it actually weighs eighty-nine point three kilograms.

The other party was a soft-hearted person and gave me a zero.

He was relieved when his grandmother took out the money from her clothes with great difficulty and counted it out to him bit by bit. It took longer to pay than to bargain. It was not easy to earn money from an old lady.

The vendor packed up his stall and went home.

Jiang Yuan was still thinking about whether he should move the rice back to the car and then buy the chicken, when his grandmother turned around and went to the cake shop next door.

It was a shop that specialized in old-fashioned egg cakes and biscuits. The freshly-baked egg cakes and biscuits gave off a sweet aroma. Jiang Yuan felt a little greedy, but when he thought about his family, he wasn't going to be so "unreasonable" as to ask his grandmother to spend money to buy these.

Grandma stood at the door of the cake shop and exchanged a few words with the boss lady, and even called her cousin niece affectionately. Then she pulled Jiang Yuan, who was standing behind her, to her front and said, "Which one do you want? Tell your cousin's wife and ask her to weigh some for us."

The cousin's wife also greeted her warmly: "Little girl, do you want egg cake or cookies?"

Jiang Yuan pointed at the steaming egg cake and said, "Take this. Just weigh a little bit."

Grandma: "Okay, I want one pound of egg cake."

After calling her "cousin", the other party was a little embarrassed to take the money, but grandma insisted on giving it. This time the money came out faster, probably because she took out a whole ten yuan directly: "No, no, you have to pay. You rely on this to make a business."

The cousin's wife couldn't refuse her and had to accept her money. "Then I'll give some cookies to Jiang girl to try and see if they taste good."

The other party was very generous and gave almost half a pound of biscuits.

Finally, grandma greeted her directly: "Put some of the things here with you first, we will come to get them later. I bought some rice, and it's inconvenient to carry it."

The cousin's wife was still busy weighing cakes for the guests, and she said loudly, "Okay, just put it here, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Jiang Yuan was a little stunned: "Grandma, why don't I remember having such a cousin-in-law?"
