60s Splendid Life

Lu Jin gave one can to his sister-in-law Xiumei and the other to Wang Chenglin, and said with a smile, "It's all from someone else, sister-in-law, you can eat it." He would occasionally open a can for the children at home As a snack, but not very often.And now that there are fresh fruits on the market in summer, the children in their family are not too interested in eating canned food after eating fresh fruit, so there are still some canned food sent by Mrs. Shen and Shen Yu. Yes, keep it at home.

"What kind of canned food is this?" Wang Xiumei asked Lu Jin, looking at the yellow flesh in the jar.

"It's mangoes. People grow them in Lingnan and Hainan. No one grows them here. Sister-in-law, you can try them." Lu Jin opened two canned mangoes. Mangoes cannot be grown in their climate, so no one grows them. This kind of thing, many people have never eaten mango.

"Oh, no wonder, I just said that I have never seen such a thing." Looking at the yellow orange pulp inside, Huang Xiumei was a little reluctant to eat it, and asked Xiao Bao'er if she wanted it.

Little Baoer shook his head, meaning no.

"Sister-in-law, you can just eat. He eats after waking up. He is not hungry yet, so there is no need to give it to him." Their children have an afternoon snack every day after waking up, and Lu Jin will make cups for their children every day Milk, and a piece of cake or a steamed bun to go with it. The child doesn't have a big appetite, so this is enough, and he won't be able to eat it after dinner.

He saw other people's children stuffing food into their mouths as soon as they saw it. The few children in his family are not bad in this respect. Their appetite is not so heavy, so it is easier to control. The cabinet at home There are always leftover snacks.

"Then let's eat." Wang Xiumei scooped up a piece of fruit pulp with a spoon and wanted to put it in her mouth. Xiao Baoer glanced at her, then turned away to play with her. She turned to her brother and said, "Let's Let's eat, Xiaobao really doesn't want it."

"Sister-in-law, eat it, Xiaobao really doesn't want to eat it." Lu Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw the little face of their child who was seriously piling up blocks.

While the two of them were eating, Lu Jin calculated the cost of this batch of peppers with Wang Chenglin, as well as the quantity and price of the peppers he wanted next time, took a notebook and a pen, and calculated in the notebook Show the account to Wang Chenglin.

Wang Chenglin only went to elementary school for a few years, and he doesn't know much about words. He can only count simple numbers, and he can't understand more complicated ones.He watched Lu Jin holding a pen and a notebook, writing and drawing on the notebook, and quickly calculated the accounts, feeling a little admirable in his heart.Seeing that the accounts calculated by Lu Jin were similar to what he had discussed with his family, he knew that Lu Jin hadn't miscalculated on purpose, "The 200 yuan you gave can't be so much, and the money for the chili peppers can be deducted from it." , you don’t need to give me any more money, next time I will send you peppers, and then I will settle with you.”

"It's okay, then tell me how much Cheng Lin is short, and I'll make up for you." Lu Jin nodded. The 200 yuan he gave earlier, after deducting the money for the goods this time, there is still a balance , so there is no need to pay for the goods this time.

The two agreed to wait for Wang Chenglin to send peppers next time, and they would calculate the remaining amount, and he would definitely have to make up for Wang Chenglin at that time.

Last time, Wang Chenglin exchanged a lot of things from him and went back. This time, Wang Chenglin asked him if he still had a hot water bottle, and wanted to exchange one for others.Lu Jin took people to the next room to look at the goods. When he came out, Wang Chenglin was carrying a burlap bag in his hand, so that others could not see what was in it.

"This is for Brother Cheng Lin and sister-in-law. I made my own snacks and two cans of canned food." Others came so far to give him something, and even gave them a big bag of sweet potatoes. Lu Jin was embarrassed to let him Others went back empty-handed. He went into the kitchen and came out with two bags, both of which contained a bag of pastries and two cans.

"No, no, no, why do you need to be so polite." Wang Xiumei didn't expect her to have it too. The two of them live so close, Lu Jin's family usually sends things to their house, and even gives her two greedy sons sweets from time to time. For snacks.

"Sister-in-law, take it, this one is for Brother Cheng Lin."

"Hey, you child..."

The two pushed back and forth, Wang Xiumei saw that Lu Jin really wanted to give it to them, so she had to take it, but she also put her own share on the mule cart for her brother to take back, and turned around to wave to Lu Jin , "Let's go, I'll take my brother to our house to sit for a while." The elder brother of the mother's family came to their village to deliver things. He took the mule and pulled the mule cart to their house.

"Okay, sister-in-law, goodbye Brother Cheng Lin." Lu Jin stood at the gate of his yard, and when he saw his sister-in-law Xiumei taking Wang Chenglin to their house, he closed the gate behind his back.

However, Wang Chenglin didn't have dinner at the sister's husband's house that day, and he had to rush back to their village. He just sat down at the sister's husband's house and drank a glass of water. After saying hello to the sister's mother-in-law, he got up and said to go back.

Wang Xiumei sent her elder brother to the door. Seeing him driving the mule away, she turned around and went home.

After getting this batch of peppers, Lu Jin became busy again. He went to the tofu shop to work every day, and came back to cook and take care of the children. The other two older children in the family went to and from school every day, basically without him. How to worry about it, only Xiao Baoer needs to spend some time here, so he can only enter the space every day during the child's nap time, and work in the space for a while every night.

Fortunately, there are many machines in the space, peppers and other things can be crushed in the machine, and there is no need to cut them by yourself, otherwise there are so many that are enough for him to cut.Just because the machine is too small, the amount of crushing is not much each time, so it has to be divided into many times.

By the time he processed all the chili sauce and put it in a jar to seal it, it was already a week later.

Busy days are pretty much the same every day.

They also take their little Baoer to the town twice a month to see a doctor and get medicine, and also go to Brother Hou to settle the bill for the first half of the month, and give him the next batch of goods.

Considering that he could not stay in the town all the time, Lu Jin taught Brother Monkey the recipe for making popcorn, and Brother Monkey hired someone to make popcorn batches for other hawkers to sell, and they shared the cost and profit. They also split the money fifty-fifty.

Now they mainly sell popcorn, fermented bean curd and chili sauce. With enough supply, their monthly income is quite considerable!

Lu Jin himself took more than 7000 to nearly 60 this month. You must know that it is the 7000s now, the pork in the countryside is only a few cents a catty, and the wages of the workers are only tens of yuan a month. They have been doing this for a month, and he will take A few thousand, which is equivalent to a month's salary income of an urban white-collar in a few decades, but how much is his [-] or so!

He calculated his savings, and after deducting expenses, the remaining money was around [-] to [-].You must know that he was a Buddhist seller for a long time, and he only sold goods twice a month. The main money he made was the first time he came to town and the money he earned this month.Oh, no, he also stored a large amount of goods in his space, and these were sold for money.

After returning from the town, Lu Jin went to the home of the master carpenter in their village, drew a drawing and discussed it with the master, and left the drawing to the master.A few days later, he went to the master's house, and he had already finished what he wanted, and after paying the wages to the master, he went back with the finished wooden shelf.

Seeing that his brother came back with a strange thing, Lu Haochen followed his brother curiously and asked, "Brother, what are you holding?" It looks very fun, can you play for him?The latter sentence was what he wanted to ask.

"This is a small car for my younger brother. You are not allowed to destroy it. If you want to damage my younger brother's car, be careful that your ass will be scratched by me." Don't think that he didn't see the purpose of this kid, Lu Jin glared at the brat, his little brother's crutch was almost broken by the brat.What he brought back was a balance bike made of a wooden frame. The balance bike is actually a small bicycle without pedals. It is suitable for two or three-year-old babies as a means of transportation to learn to slide.

Seeing that he came back with a strange thing, little Bao'er also looked at him and the thing in his hand curiously.

"Come on, Xiaobao, try it. This is the scooter that my brother asked Grandpa San to make for you. Come and see if it works." This small car was made according to the height of Xiaobao. Lu Jin hugged the child Go up, sit on the cushion with his buttocks, just enough to put his feet on the ground, he grabbed the child's hands and put them on the two handlebars of the front of the car, "hold the front of the car with both hands, and use the feet to pull on the ground... um , That's right, you can walk forward, don't you think?" He taught the child to push forward slowly with his feet on the ground, and then he can go forward.

Little Bao'er didn't quite understand at first, but after being hugged and moved back and forth a few times by his brother, his eyes lit up.

Seeing the bright eyes of the child, Lu Jin knew that he was aware of the advantages of this small car, and said with a smile, "Is it possible to move? In the future, Xiaobao will practice more at home, and he will be able to ride a small car." The car went out to play outside."

Before, he always wanted children to learn to use crutches, but let alone children with crutches, even adults would find it difficult to walk a few steps with crutches, let alone such a small child.So instead of hoping that the child can learn to walk with crutches, it is better to let the child learn how to use other means of transportation in the shortest possible time.
