Chapter 15 Three Brothers and Sisters

A vendor next to him was envious when he saw that all his bamboo shoots were sold out: "It's still easy to sell your fresh stuff, so you can sell them all at once."

The vendor sells fruits, and there are many kinds of fruits. At first glance, they are all-seasonal fruits that are wholesale.

Moreover, he is not the only one selling all kinds of fruits on the street, so his sales are quite bumpy. In one afternoon, he only sold dozens of kilograms of fruits.

Therefore, I don’t want to envy Liu Qingshan’s bamboo shoots sold so smoothly.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "You only see how fast I sell bamboo shoots when I sell them, but I don't see how hard it is when I dig bamboo shoots."

It seems that he is very laborious to dig bamboo shoots. In fact, there are more mosquitoes in the mountains and the sun is a little hot.

"Yes." The vendor who didn't know the truth no matter what bowl of rice is, it's not easy to eat. We sell fruits, but we have to go to the county town to wholesale fruits at three o'clock every morning. How many cents a pound of fruit can make, but we can't make much money in a day."

"Haha, it's okay. You are called long-lasting water. My winter bamboo shoots are worth a little money during this period. After a few days, there will be more people digging, and it will be worth no more." As he said that, Liu Qingshan had packed up his things and rode away on his own small broken car.

When I returned to the boss’s shop, the boss’s wife had already sold the bamboo shoots.

When she handed the money to Liu Qingshan, she saw that there were no bamboo shoots on the motorcycle at the door, and she knew that Liu Qingshan's 100 kilograms of bamboo shoots had been sold out.

The boss lady was happy for him: "It seems that you are really lucky, you are so lucky, you sold out so many bamboo shoots so quickly."

"Hehe, actually, it's because I met a big customer who bought dozens of kilograms of bamboo shoots in one go." Liu Qingshan told the truth, saying that he met the man driving a ragged off-road vehicle, and finally added a comment, "Don't look at the man driving a ragged pickup truck, but his elegant words and behavior and generous actions are obvious to him as a very rich person."

"It must be rich." The boss laughed, "If I could buy dozens of kilograms of bamboo shoots at once, I would be rich too. After all, a kilogram of bamboo shoots costs ten yuan, and you also said that people are not willing to take advantage of your few dollars."

"Yes." Liu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the hidden man, "I would have met such a big customer every day."

The boss lady nodded: "Of course, I also want to meet such customers every day, but in a mountainous area like ours, it is obviously impossible to meet such big customers every day. Moreover, I think that after people in the town have seen you sell winter bamboo shoots, they all know that they can dig winter bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest now, and then, your winter bamboo shoots will be a little difficult to sell."

"Why?" Liu Qingshan was puzzled.

"You think, it costs twenty yuan to buy two pounds of bamboo shoots. If you want to eat it happily, it costs thirty or forty yuan to buy three or four pounds. Then others might as well dig it by themselves. Although they may not have many digs, they must have enough to eat by themselves. Moreover, some old men are really patient. Even if they are old, as long as they know what to make money by digging, they will definitely dig. If they dig ten pounds a day and sell eight yuan per pound, they can sell eighty yuan. Nowadays, it is not easy for an old man to find eighty yuan."

The boss’s wife’s words made Liu Qingshan worry again: “Boss wife, you’re right. I guess if I bring bamboo shoots down the market the day after tomorrow, I might not be able to sell that many of them.”

"You can try selling it in the county town. As you said just now, only those rich people can be sold in the city. If you sell it in the county town, the price will probably be higher."

Seeing Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, the boss lady continued: "Although it's a bit long to sell to the county town, it will take you a day to sell whether it's sold in the town or in the county town. It's better to go farther and sell to the county town for a little more money."

"Ha, right." Liu Qingshan's eyes not only lit up, but his tone also jumped, "Why didn't I expect that I will go to the county town to sell the day after tomorrow. Boss, thank you."

"I'll just give you some advice."

"You have come up with several ideas for me. The boss lady, when I dig up other good things next time, I will definitely send you some."

"Then I'll wait."

After leaving the boss’s shop, I bought some vegetables and snacks, and walked towards my second grandfather’s house in the village.

The second grandfather and the eldest grandmother died young, are the biological brothers of the same father and mother, and Liu Qingshan's grandfather and the same grandparent cousins ​​as the same grandparents.

However, whether it is an immediate family or a collateral family, they are all relatives.

So when Liu Qingshan was not at home, if there was anything at home, the second grandfather and the second uncle would help without caring about it.

When the eldest grandfather was alive and the second grandfather was still young, the two brothers were famous for their diligence in the village. Therefore, a few years after the eldest grandfather took the lead in building a cement building in an outside village, the second grandfather also built the house.

Moreover, later, Grandpa II built another floor on the house. Therefore, Grandpa II's house was a two-story cement building.

However, because of the age of age, these two-story cement buildings now look very old. There is a lot of moss on the base of the exterior wall of the first floor, and it is more than two meters high.

As soon as Liu Qingshan's broken motorcycle stopped in the big yard, the three little kids ran out screaming.

The uncle got married late, so the oldest was about five years old. The younger ones were four and three years old.

It’s better to see the ages of these three little boys that the aunt gave birth to one child after another.

If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't afford to raise so many children, the uncle and aunt would have to continue having children.

Of course, this can only be blamed for the lack of publicity on birth control and contraception.

"Brother, brother." Before Liu Qingshan's car could be held steady, the eldest brother hugged Liu Qingshan's thigh, "Brother, brother, I miss you so much. I heard that you are back and I want to see you, but my father won't take me there."

"Zi Jun, brother misses you very much, too." Liu Qingshan quickly set up the car and touched his younger brother's pot cover.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother let go of his thigh, "I am Zi Hui, not Zi Jun. You said you miss me and you are a lie. You can't even remember my name and you still miss me, hum ╯^╰."

The little guy got angry and left angrily with his head tilted.

Immediately afterwards, the second sister with two small braids and dirty faces ran over, raised her head and said in a slight voice: "Brother, I really miss you."

"Haha, Zijun is the most obedient."

The little guy rolled his eyes: "I'm Zixuan."

Liu Qingshan was sweating and stared at the youngest bald brother and said, "Then you must be Zi Jun."

The little guy was a little afraid of life, just stood away, looking at Liu Qingshan with a smile, and not speaking.

Children under three years old are naturally not that bold.

The second grandfather walked out of the room and saw Liu Qingshan, and immediately came forward with a smile: "I said why are these guys running so fast? It turns out that Qingshan is here."

Liu Qingshan took off the big and small bags of things from the car and walked towards his second grandfather: "I've been back for a few days before I came here, don't you blame me, right?"

"Hey, why are you saying this? Go into the house and ask your second grandma to cook a pot of Guyu tea for you." The second grandpa stared at the things on Liu Qingshan's hand and said unhappily, "Qingshan, it's not that I'm talking to you. I've told you before, just eat when you come and eat, don't buy so many things, why don't you listen?"

Grandpa II was not polite, but was really angry.

Liu Qingshan is also considered his grandson. Although he is not a direct grandson, he is definitely much closer than those relatives who are completely unrelated. So when he sees Liu Qingshan so squandering, he feels a little disappointed.

Think about it, his nephew is just a son like Liu Qingshan. If Liu Qingshan becomes like his bastard son, then the Liu family will become a laughing stock in the village from now on.

I guess when others talk about the Liu family in the future, they will subconsciously think of words such as laziness, squandering, and pauper.

Liu Qingshan knew what his second grandfather was thinking, so he comforted him: "Second grandfather, don't worry, I know what I know. I won't spend money randomly. All of this money is spent where it should be spent."
