Zhang Xiuhua asked Jidong to pour water for the four people.

After everyone had a bowl of hot water, Li Jianxin happily announced the good news, "I sold the most." He gestured, "Eighty!"

Zhang Xiuhua almost dropped her jaw in shock, "Is this true? You cheated, didn't you?"

Li Jianxin's eloquence is indeed good, but compared with Zhou Pandyi, it is still far behind.

An Rou laughed, "Xiu Hua really understands you."

Li Jianxin disagreed, "I'm not cheating, I'm just making good use of my connections."

What happened? Li Jianxin went to see Zhang Sanxi's father-in-law. He was the second in command of the agricultural machinery station. Li Jianxin went to sell his products, and they were really good, so the other party helped to make connections.

Zhou Pandi knew Zhang Sanxi's father-in-law, but they were educated youth and had no relationship with Zhang Sanxi. So they couldn't ask him for help. Li Jianxin was the only one who had the confidence to ask for help.

However, the other three educated youths still managed to sell the flower baskets with their eloquent tongues.

Zhou Pandi sold 210, Li Xiaoying sold , and An Rou sold . A total of .

This was no small project, so Zhang Xiuhua immediately went to find the team leader and asked him to organize people to weave baskets and then look for fruits.

It's the busy farming season now, so it should be very busy.

But for rural people, weaving baskets is a piece of cake. Almost every household can weave baskets.

There are 100 households in the whole village, which means each household can weave two baskets. At night, they can weave one basket in an hour by lighting a lamp and working hard. After all, the basket Zhang Xiuhua wants is not big.

The captain did not say how much it cost, but only asked them to bring the woven baskets over when they were free, and he would pay them when the time came.

The members thought he was giving them work points. Some families were more diligent and quickly compiled their work and sent it over after hearing the news.

As for fruit, there were many families in the village who grew fruit trees, so the quantity she needed was enough.

So the team leader asked the members to deliver the fruit themselves, and when the grain was harvested, they would directly exchange the grain for the fruit.

Last year, Zhang Xiuhua also used grain to exchange for fruit with members. The price given by the team leader must have been based on this year's market conditions. Some families wanted to exchange more grain, so they still took it.

Some people want to leave some snacks for their children and can't bear to do so.

But even so, the number of families sent here is enough.

It took only three days to prepare all 221 baskets.

All these baskets will be delivered to major factories one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The factory settles all bills immediately.

The four educated youths and Zhang Xiuhua went to the team leader to count the money.

Zhang Xiuhua wanted the money from fans and yuba, while the four educated youth wanted commissions.

The prices were all set in advance and the bills were settled very quickly.

The brigade accountant paid for the fruit production of each household directly with grain, including grain for the four educated youth.

After everyone's accounts were calculated, the team could earn 30 cents per basket. Don't underestimate this 30 cents, because they didn't contribute anything, they just coordinated.

The captain was so happy to see the return of money that his teeth were exposed. "Xiuhua is really smart. Look at how good her idea is. When the New Year comes, we can add a few more things."

The brigade accountant also laughed and said, "We have money, so we can buy another tractor next year. One is still too little."

This year, they have a walking tractor, and they harvested 50 kilograms more grain per kilogram than last year. A full 50 kilograms. If all the land is plowed with a walking tractor, their yield can be doubled to at least 100 kilograms.

The brigade cadres were imagining the future there. Zhou Pandi and others moved the food to Zhang Xiuhua's home.

They had no shortage of food, so they wanted to exchange it for some money from Zhang Xiuhua.

When Zhang Xiuhua makes tofu and yuba, the more soybeans the better.

She converted it into money directly for them.

The price of soybeans per pound is 28 cents. This is the price at the grain station. It is a little more expensive than what the production team sells to the grain station.

An Rou sold 11 kilograms of soybeans for 2 yuan. She was so excited.

"If you come a few more times, you won't go wrong in the future."

Li Jianxin also gained some confidence in raising children.

The couple still had to earn work points, so they left in a hurry.

Seeing An Rou being so motivated, Zhou Pandi and Li Xiaoying's eyes widened, "Can marriage change a person completely? An Rou is so diligent now that she doesn't even look like herself anymore."

Li Xiaoying talked about a shocking thing. She went to see An Rou in the morning and saw her washing diapers for her child. In the past, An Rou was the one who was most afraid of dirt and tiredness. She would not even help when the oil bottle at home fell over. Now she is a good wife and mother who does all kinds of work.

Zhang Xiuhua couldn't tell them the truth. If she wanted to keep the truth from leaking out, she had to keep her mouth shut.

But Zhou Pandi obviously had her own interpretation. She patted Li Xiaoying on the shoulder and said, "So the environment can change a person. An Rou's story also tells us not to get married easily. No matter how beautiful and touching the love words a man says before marriage, you should not believe them. They marry wives just to make women work like slaves to serve the whole family. But we have no room for regret."

Li Xiaoying lowered her head and thought about it. Zhou Pandi's words sounded harsh, but when she thought about it carefully, it really couldn't be that Anrou didn't wash diapers. She couldn't divorce. Besides, Anrou always talked about the child, and she couldn't bear to leave the child.

She sighed, "You're right!"

At first, Zhang Xiuhua just thought that it was no wonder that Zhou Pandi dared to have a child alone in her previous life. It turned out that everything had a reason. But as she listened, she felt something was wrong, "Does Xiaoying have a partner?"

Li Xiaoying's cheeks blushed slightly. "Yes! My family found a boyfriend for me and they will bring me back to the city. But he doesn't look that good, so I don't like him that much."

"You didn't go home for the New Year, so how do you know that he is not good-looking?" Zhang Xiuhua was surprised.

"His classmate." Zhou Pandi explained, "He has always had a crush on Li Xiaoying. But Xiaoying said that he never took the initiative to talk to her. It's obvious that the man is bragging. He said so many sweet words, but in fact, none of them can be fulfilled."

She pouted in disdain, "Besides, his conditions are not that good. He has three sisters, and you will definitely give him a son in the future."

Li Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "I will refuse this matter when I turn around."

She walked out in silence.

Zhou Pandi looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "She has always wanted to go back to the city. I don't know if it's right for me to persuade her like this."

Zhou Pandi doesn't have a golden finger, but Zhang Xiuhua does. But she can't say it, so she just thinks positively, "Everything will work out when the time comes. That's Xiaoying's life event. We shouldn't make a hasty decision."

Seeing that she also supported her, Zhou Pandi sighed and said, "Actually, our life is not bad."

In the past, she worked in the fields to earn work points, which was really hard work, but now she has become a scorekeeper and helps out here, and her income is not low. She can also secretly buy some snacks. She feels that life here is much more comfortable than at home.

Everyone's family environment is different. For example, Zhou Pandi's parents not only did not help her, but also wrote to ask her to send food back to the city. Li Xiaoying's parents loved their daughter a little and gave her a little money every year.

"Don't worry. Xiaoying will definitely figure it out in the future."

Li Xiaoying has now lost an opportunity to return to the city, but with Li Xiaoying's grades, she will definitely be able to be admitted to university next year and her future is bright.

Zhou Pandi smiled, "I hope so."
