Chapter 8 Candied Haws

Lin Yuzhu smiled and nodded, saying, "In the early stage, there will definitely be someone who imitates and follows the trend. If you sell two cents a bunch of money, you will make a profit." At this point, Lin Yuzhu patted An An's head and said, "Go and call grandparents."

After a while, Zhang Bihua and Lin Laoshi entered the house.

Lin Laoshi is a real farmer, and he is as honest and honest as his name. This is the first time Lin Yuzhu has seen Lin Laoshi in so many days after returning to her parents' home.

Lin Yuzhu handed the candied haws to Zhang Bihua and Lin Laoshi and continued: "In recent times, there is nothing else to do except dig the ground. My mother and sister-in-law can go up the mountain to pick more sour fruits. My brother and father are responsible for selling them. I peel bamboo sticks at home."

She needs to make some money for her family to make life easier. This winter is very cold. Before she got married, the family was the most difficult to endure. Now she has brought two children home. You can imagine how her life is lacking in nutrition, especially An An and Pingping, who are much younger than normal children. How can we continue?

The most important thing is that she has to feed her two children now. Now the child’s small breasts are enough. How can she satisfy the feeding of her two children? Breast milk is very good for the development of the child. The two children are too thin and must be given enough nutrition in the later stage. Making money is the most important thing at present.

Zhang Bihua and Lin Houshi were a little confused, especially Lin Houshi said: "Daughter, are you planning to sell this out?"

Lin Yuzhu had already thought about the words and explained: "I just wanted to give it a try. I am very confident in candied haws. If it is easy to sell, let's make a little more."

It is certainly reasonable that candied haws have been popular since ancient times. There were not many snacks in this era. This candied haws are good in appearance and taste, and selling a bunch of three is not expensive.

After eating one, Zhang Bihua divided the candied haws to An An equally and said, "You can give it a try. I will go up the mountain with your sister-in-law to pick the sour fruits and pick the largest and best ones."

Lin Yuzhu's heart, which had been hanging for two days, finally landed. That night, the family started to peel bamboo sticks. Li He'er and Zhang Bihua were curious to learn how to make candy haws with Lin Yuzhu.

According to Lin Yuzhu's description, Lin Yushu tied two candied haws with straw and came out. Lin Laoshi also helped. The warm picture of the family gathering together made Lin Yuzhu intoxicated.

This weather is not afraid of the sugar melting. After making thirty-two candied haws with the remaining sugar that night, Lin Laoshi and Lin Yushu left the village early the next day.

The two of them were afraid of being seen by the villagers, so they went to the county town before dawn.

Li He'er and Zhang Bihua went to the mountain, while Lin Yuzhu took care of four children at home, and even was absent-minded in her work. In fact, she was afraid that candied haws were not easy to sell.

After feeding the two little ones and coaxing them to sleep, Lin Yuzhu saw that An An Hepingping was idle all day and said, "Does An An Hepingpingping want to read?"

Li He'er and Zhang Bihua came back with a basket of hawthorns on their backs. As a result, as soon as Li He'er entered the room, he saw An An and Pingping holding a wooden stick and writing decently beside the fire.

After smoothing out the ash from the fire, you can write with a wooden stick. The two children's little faces, which were roasted by the fire, were filled with innocent smiles. This scene made Li He'er feel happy.

"Did you teach your two children to write?"

For her, it is a great kindness to be able to let her two children study and learn to read. Lin Yuzhu is really very good to her two children, but the better she is, the more guilt she feels.

Lin Yuzhu was sewing clothes with old cloth for two little ones, and smiled at Li He'er, "An An and Pingping are very smart. When Han Yang was there, he taught me to recognize a lot of words. I thought it was idle too. It was great to teach two children to read. Look at how smart they are, they can write their own names."

Li He'er was very moved, and her nose felt sore, and she sat next to Lin Yuzhu and said, "Don't take Yuzhu what I said before. I shouldn't listen to the instigation of people outside. Just stay at home with peace of mind. This is your home for the rest of your life."

Although she said these words, she still wanted to say them again, otherwise it would be really depressing and uncomfortable.

Lin Yuzhu couldn't hear Li He'er's guilt and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. I didn't care about what you said before. We are a family. We just need to explain it clearly if there are conflicts and barriers. I see that you have paid a lot for this family. Calculate the time, brother and father should be back soon."

Li He'er felt much more relieved and stood up and told An An and Pingping, "You must learn to write and read with your aunt. This is a big event in your life. You must not know it."

Lin Anan and Lin Pingping kept nodding, while Li Heer went to prepare the meal.

Soon after afternoon, Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi came back with a smile on their faces.

Lin Yushu excitedly entered the house and gave Lin Yuzhu the 96 cents sold, and said, "Yuzhu, my father and I were selling as you said. At first, no one asked, but later the supply was in short supply. It was 96 cents. I bought four kilograms of candy and made it tonight. My father and I will sell more tomorrow."

Lin Yuzhu took the money, then put six cents in the basket, and handed it to Lin Yushu directly: "This is the money to buy candy flowers. In the future, you can buy candy with the money sold candy haws. Don't pay for it yourself. I will keep the account of how much you earn. We will share the money by the head of the person at that time."

Lin Yushu was unhappy and sat down and said, "It's not like this. My father and I have discussed it. I will give you as much as you sell. We will accept the candy money, but we will give you everything you earn."

They all thought Lin Yuzhu had some money, but as for their help, it was not all right.

Lin Yuzhu was also a little helpless, knowing what his family was saying: "I won't talk about this for the time being. You can go and chop more bamboos and come back. There are also sour fruits on the mountain and my sister-in-law picked a basket of them. I thought that there will definitely be followers in the next few days. There are not many villages nearby. Why don't you go and pick the best sour fruits back?"

Lin Yushu agreed without even thinking about it, which was not a problem for him.

Li He'er and Zhang Bihua knew that candied haws were easy to sell and were even more motivated. They made eighty strings with Lin Yuzhu that afternoon, and the two extra fruits were given to An An and Pingping.

The Lin family is a single family in the village, and the neighbors are separated by a little distance. Although some people in the village saw Zhang Bihua and Li Heer going up the mountain, they didn't know what they were doing.

After all, it is better to be able to stay at home on this cold day than to blow the cold wind outside.
