Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhou Pandyi said she wanted to expand the scale, so she quickly ordered aluminum basins. Zhang Xiuhua also found the members in charge of delivery and asked them to help with the delivery.

When the members heard that there was free tofu and it was a convenient thing to do, they quickly agreed.

The Red Star Commune asked for 50 kilograms, the Red Heart Commune asked for 80 kilograms, and the Red Flag Commune that Zhou Pandi contacted asked for 100 kilograms. The Hongyang Commune that Li Xiaoying contacted was the farthest away and asked for 60 kilograms, plus several nearby villages asked for 125 kilograms.

This is equivalent to making 315 kilograms of tofu every day. Even with a crusher, it would take three people six hours just to make the tofu.

Zhang Xiuhua fell asleep as soon as she finished making tofu. Li Xiaoying and Zhou Pandi worked harder than her and could only catch up on their sleep after they had finished delivering tofu.

Fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative here does not need to deliver the goods early in the morning, so they have more time. It doesn’t matter if they deliver them at 1 p.m., because they don’t worry about not being able to sell them.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The three of them did some calculations. After deducting the cost of the crusher and the labor cost, the price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative was naturally not as expensive as the black market. Based on the price of tofu, at 53 yuan per pound, the three of them could earn 125 yuan a day. The 315 pounds of soybeans collected every day could be used to make pounds of tofu. There would be a few pounds left, which would be distributed to the delivery members and eaten by themselves.

At the end of the month, their total income was 1590 yuan.

The crusher cost 450 yuan, Zhang Xiuhua paid 300 yuan, Zhou Pandi paid 100 yuan, and Li Xiaoying paid 50 yuan. She borrowed the 50 yuan from Zhou Pandi.

Since Zhang Xiuhua was not responsible for selling goods, she accounted for 27%, Zhou Pandyi accounted for 13%, and Li Xiaoying accounted for %.

Zhang Xiuhua received 654 yuan. This was the first time she received a payout, and it came from a legitimate source.

Zhou Pandi received 429 yuan, which undoubtedly gave her confidence in the future.

Li Xiaoying received 206 yuan, and her reaction was much stronger than the others. When delivering goods, the wind from the northeast was biting cold, especially since she went to the farthest commune. When she came back every day, her hands and feet were frozen. She wanted to quit countless times. She gritted her teeth and persevered, thinking that she would have to work for a month at least.

Seeing so much money, she suddenly didn't want to quit. Everything was worth it. With so much money, what's wrong with a little hardship? How many people in this world have suffered but can't make money? She is happier than many people.

Li Xiaoying had borrowed a lot of money from Zhou Pandi before, and now she has paid it all back. She still has a lot left, and she is so happy that she can't stop smiling.

Zhou Pandi sighed, "It's a pity that this business can't last long."

Li Xiaoying's eyes widened, "Why can't it last long?"

"Tofu goes bad easily in summer." Zhou Pandi spread her hands.

Li Xiaoying suddenly realized, but she didn't take it seriously, "If I can't sell tofu, I can sell sweet potato vermicelli. That can be stored for a long time."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Yes! We can sell sweet potatoes."

Zhou Pandi was helpless because sweet potatoes were expensive in summer.

But today was a happy day, so she didn't spoil the fun.

To celebrate, Zhou Pandi specially exchanged a chicken with the villagers and gave it to Zhang Xiuhua to cook.

Zhang Xiuhua simply acted as a hands-off boss, letting Youcai take charge while she gave instructions from the side.

Baolin said as he was lighting the fire, "Mom, when are we going to the state-owned restaurant?"

She had done a lot of homework and had enough points, but her mother was too busy making tofu every day, so she was a little anxious, afraid that her mother would forget about it.

Zhang Xiuhua waved her hand and said, "Tomorrow!"

Baolin was so happy that he danced with joy. "That's great! I can finally go to the state-owned restaurant to have a good meal!"

She twisted her little butt and danced vigorously with the fire poker in her hand.

Youcai looked at him enviously. He had also done his homework recently, but he was still eight points short.

Jidong, who was reading in the kitchen, saw his expression and coughed lightly, "You are talented. Do you want to go to the state-owned restaurant?"

Youcai rolled his eyes and said, "You are talking nonsense. Who doesn't want to go?"

Jidong smiled and said, "You want to go, but you don't have enough points. I can lend it to you. I'll lend you eight points, and you'll give me ten points."

Youcai was so angry that he jumped up and down, "I'm your brother, and you actually lent money at usury."

Jidong rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't lend money, I lent points."

Youcai wanted to say, "They are all the same," but Jidong stopped him with the next sentence, "It's up to you to lend it or not."

Youcai's breath got stuck in his throat. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Borrow it! I'll lend it to you!"

He looked at Zhang Xiuhua eagerly, "Aunt Zhang, is this okay?"

Zhang Xiuhua never interfered in the affairs of children. "Okay."

So Youcai was so happy that his face beamed with joy, he danced with the spatula vigorously, and even hummed a song.

During the meal, a plate of clay pot chicken was served and the children jumped around.

Zhang Xiuhua discussed with Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying that she would go to the commune tomorrow and she wanted Li Xiaoying to help take a child to the commune.

Because she had to take care of three children, she had to shamelessly go to the team leader's house to borrow a bicycle.

But the extra child will definitely ride on Li Xiaoying or Zhou Pandyi's bicycle.

There were 100 kilograms of tofu behind Zhou Pandi, and Li Xiaoying carried 60 kilograms, so it was naturally more appropriate to let Li Xiaoying carry the people.

Li Xiaoying thought about it and decided that it was okay. After all, it was only once, not every day.

Youcai raised his hand and said, "Aunt Zhang, the captain's family bought a little donkey. We can borrow it."

Zhang Xiuhua: “…”

It was impossible to borrow it because she didn't know how to drive a donkey.

But she thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask the team leader's eldest son to take us to the commune. But when we come back, we have to walk. You three must not let me carry you. I can't do it."

It is about ten miles from Lijiatun to the commune. This distance is not far and takes about an hour.

Youcai immediately raised his hand and said, "I don't need to be carried. I can walk by myself."

Baolin was not to be outdone, "I can do it too!"

Jidong is the thinnest, but he is not afraid of defeat, "I can walk too!"

So that was decided.

Zhang Xiuhua went to the team leader's house and shamelessly wanted to ride on the donkey.

The team leader was cheerful, "Okay. He also needs to deliver rice popcorn sticks to the commune, so it's not a big deal."

Zhang Xiuhua was delighted. It turned out that she bought the donkey to save her son's effort. This donkey is very useful. She can ride it and use it as a grinding tool. When it grows up, she can kill it and eat its meat.

The matter was settled, and the next day after making tofu, Zhang Xiuhua took her three children on a donkey ride.

The donkey has rice popcorn sticks, a plate of tofu, Zhang Xiuhua and three children on it.

Although the cart behind the donkey is not big, the rice popsicles take up a lot of space. There are fifty full pockets packed tightly.

Zhang Xiuhua had to hold the rice popsicles in her arms before she made room for someone to sit.

When they arrived at the commune, Zhang Xiuhua waved goodbye to Hongwu with her children.

She had already exchanged her food coupons and meat coupons before she came. When she entered the store, she let her three children choose for themselves.

It was the first time for the children to come to the restaurant. When they entered the door, they were intimidated by the red five-pointed star above the door. After entering, they looked left and right like curious babies.

All the people who came to the restaurant to eat were wealthy people at that time. They were well-dressed and full of energy, and each of them looked more impressive than the brigade cadres.
