Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

After arranging all this, it was the end of the semester. Han Mingxiu passed the final exam like a duck to water, and she ushered in her second summer vacation after going to college.

On the first day of the summer vacation, Han Mingxiu took Xiaoqiu and her sisters to the door of Wangfujing Department Store to sell orange juice.

In this era, the state's management of small stalls and hawkers is not as strict as it is in modern times. Therefore, even if they go to the gate of Tiananmen to sell things, they don't have to worry about being driven out, and they don't have to worry about city officials confiscating things.

Because today was the first day of the training booth, Han Mingxiu wanted to explore the way, so he didn't bring them too many oranges, only one hundred catties.

In addition, she also prepared 20 cups, a bucket of water for brushing the cups, and some ice cubes, which she put in a pre-made ice cream box.

At the gate of the department store, Han Mingxiu stopped the tricycle, set up the things, and began to shout loudly: "Orange juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, two cents a cup, come and taste..."

While shouting, Han Mingxiu took out the juicer and skillfully squeezed out a glass of orange juice, then took out some ice cubes from the box and put it in the orange juice.

"Don't miss it if you pass by, the pure natural iced juice is delicious and thirst-quenching..."

Han Mingxiu shouted, and sure enough, many people came and went, attracted. Then, a young man dressed in fashion took out two cents and handed it to Han Mingxiu.

"Comrade, give me a drink."

As soon as Xiaoqiu saw the business coming, he hurriedly started, quickly squeezed a glass of orange juice, and handed it to the young man excitedly, "Comrade, to..."

The young man took the cup and took a sip from his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!" After taking a sip, the young man was immediately amazed by the taste of the juice, and gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

"It's so delicious, this taste is incomparable..." As he said, he gulped down the orange juice in the glass.

In order to make the orange juice sell well, Han Mingxiu deliberately chose a pure transparent glass. In this way, the beautiful color of orange juice can be displayed in front of customers at a glance, arousing everyone's desire to buy.

After the young man drank a cup, he still felt unfulfilled, so he bought another cup.

With his live advertisements on the spot, people kept coming to buy them, "Comrade, give me a cup..."

"I want a cup too..."

The stall's business suddenly boomed, and many people passing by saw everyone gathered around here to buy juice, so they all gathered to buy a cup to try, anyway, two cents is not a big amount, anyone can afford it rise.

That's it, one after the other, Han Mingxiu and Xiaoqiu were busy squeezing juice for customers, Xiao Si was in charge of collecting the money, and Xiao Wu was in charge of cleaning the cups.

Several people were very busy, and in less than two hours, 100 catties of oranges were sold, and there were still some that couldn't be bought for a long time, licking their lips with regret.

"Sister-in-law, look, we've sold out all the juices!" Xiaoqiu excitedly proposed loudly while packing the box: "Can you tell your friends to bring us more oranges every day, a hundred catties are not enough? Not enough to sell!"

Xiao Si tightly clutched her satchel, and said excitedly, "Yes, according to this selling method, we can sell three or five hundred catties a day without any difficulty."

"Yes, yes, it's not very hot these days. If it gets hot in a few days, our juice will definitely sell better." Xiao Wu also said excitedly.

Han Mingxiu saw the excited look of several sister-in-laws, and was also very happy that he could help them, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will tell him tomorrow and let him prepare five hundred catties for us a day. , I estimate that we can sell it for 500 catties in this popular Chengdu, but we don't have to force it, if we can't sell it, we can take it back and squeeze the juice ourselves."

As soon as Xiaoqiu heard that her sister-in-law said she couldn't sell it, she hurriedly shook her head and said firmly, "Sister-in-law, if we can sell it, we can definitely sell it! If we can't sell it, we won't go back to the dormitory, and we will sell it when it will be sold out. Time to go back."

Although the summer vacation is over, their sisters still live in the school.

Because it is a technical school, it mainly studies technology, so it is not the same as those schools that learn cultural knowledge. During the summer vacation, there are still some classes in the school, so the dormitory and the cafeteria are not related. Xiaoqiu and the others can continue to live in the dormitory and eat in the school cafeteria.

Han Mingxiu didn't go back when she heard that Xiaoqiu said it couldn't sell out, knowing that the child was reluctant to leave oranges, but Xiaoqiu and the others were girls after all, so it would be bad if they went back too late. It's too late, and it's very likely that you will encounter bad people. Even if you don't encounter bad people, the girl's house will always go back so late, and it will be unforgettable.

So, Han Mingxiu gave them a death order: they must go back to the dormitory before nine o'clock every night, no matter if they are sold out or not! If you can't sell it, keep it for tomorrow and sell it. If it's broken overnight, then throw it away.

Just a few oranges, what is more important than the safety of the girls?

Although Xiaoqiu and the others were reluctant to throw oranges, they all listened to their sister-in-law's words. Since her sister-in-law asked them to do so, they had to reluctantly agree.

When they returned to the quadrangle to deliver the tricycle, their aunts and sisters counted the money they had earned today.

One hundred catties of oranges, no more or no less, just made ten yuan.

It only took more than two hours to make ten yuan, and the old money was almost equal to what they earned by working in their hometown for a month.

The next morning, Han Mingxiu went to the courtyard on the side of the corner building while running, and put five hundred catties of oranges in the courtyard's wing.

Because orange juice is not like other food, there is no need to set up a stall too early, and few people want to drink a drink in the early morning, basically you can set up a stall at eight or nine o'clock.

Now that the weather is hot, the time for the stalls is eight or nine o’clock, and they can go out until eight or nine o’clock in the evening. The sisters can take turns to rest when they are not busy, so that they will not be too tired, and will not affect the money making, killing two birds with one stone. .

Han Mingxiu only spent one day with them and stopped going. After all, this is the career of their sisters, and she has already fulfilled her responsibility by guiding them on the road.

If she followed them every day, firstly, she didn't have that much time, and secondly, Xiaoqiu and the others would have a psychological burden.

If she works with them, Xiaoqiu and the others will definitely want to give her a share of the money they make, and if Han Mingxiu doesn't want the money they give her, they will feel guilty and feel sorry for her, so from the first From two days on, she let a few of them go it alone.

Apart from going to the courtyard in the corner building to deliver fruit every morning, and then going there every two days to collect "the cost of purchasing the goods," Han Mingxiu basically didn't need to worry about the rest.

It can be seen that the sisters are all very active, and they are all pleasantly surprised by their income.

Once when she went to collect money, Xiaoqiu said to her excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I never dreamed that I could make so much money in business! Otherwise, I'll sell juice for the rest of my life, I think it's better than being a tailor to make money. too much."

Han Mingxiu immediately corrected her thinking and said, "You can't just look at the benefits in front of you. If you look at the current situation, you are indeed better at selling juice than clothing, but selling juice is not a long-term solution. Juice has been selling well for only two months, but after two months it gets cold, who will drink juice?"

"Besides, your skills in clothing cutting is a skill, and you can use it to support your family at any time, but this juice business is subject to certain conditions. If it exceeds the limits of the conditions, you will I can't do it, so it's better to have a skill."

Xiaoqiu listened to Han Mingxiu's words, and then gave up the idea of ​​dropping out of school to sell juice. She just made up her mind that even if she went back to school in the future, she could go out and sell juice for a while at night. She would not give up such a money-making business easily...

The industry that sells orange juice is currently the only one in the capital. The price of orange juice is not expensive and the taste is sweet, so the business is very good.

The three of them sell a lot every day, and they can basically sell out 500 catties of oranges every day, which means that they have an income of 50 yuan every day.

It was only a week of vacation, and the sisters had saved hundreds of dollars. In addition to paying back the tuition fees Han Mingxiu paid them in advance, there was still one left.

One day, it was raining heavily, and because the rain was too heavy, the stalls could not be set up. Xiaoqiu sisters came to Uncle Gao's house together and returned the tuition money Han Mingxiu had paid for them to Han Mingxiu.

Brother Jianfeng and his sister-in-law helped them get out of the tiger's mouth, arranged the future for them, and helped them earn so much money. They are really grateful to their brother and sister-in-law.

Xiaoqiu and the others didn't want to owe their sister-in-law too much, otherwise they would have a psychological burden, so now that they have money, they hurried to pay the sister-in-law's money back.

When he came to Uncle Gao's house, Han Mingxiu was sitting at home reading the letter.

The letter was written by the eldest sister. Since the eldest sister and the family returned from the capital, the sisters communicated more frequently. After a trip to the capital, the eldest sister has become more knowledgeable and more cheerful than before, even writing letters. It's longer than before.

In this letter, the eldest sister told her some short stories about the parents in her hometown.

First of all, the eldest sister's house has built a new house. The original three small adobe houses were turned into five red brick houses. Now if they go back to their hometown, they will have a place to live, and they don't have to go to grandma's house to find them. stay.

In addition, the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, Xiaojing, is engaged. An inspector of the target town grain store is scheduled to get married on the sixth day of next month. The uncle specially explained to Han Mingcui and asked her to try to notify Han Mingxiu so that Han Mingxiu could come back to attend the wedding.

It is impossible for Han Mingxiu to go back.

Although she is in the summer vacation now, and it is fine, but she is not happy to run back and forth.

Mainly because her relationship with her uncle's family has not yet reached the point where she made a special trip back for their family's affairs. Although the old uncle was okay to her when she lived in the village, but it was only okay, and she didn't help her lonely niece too much. It's like when she was forced by her grandmother to marry Zhang Er donkey, and when she hit the wall in anger, the old uncle didn't help her.

Therefore, Han Mingxiu just remitted some money to them and went back as a gift, doing his best.

For some relationships between relatives, as long as it is "ok", there is no need to be too intimate. Only those relatives who have experienced the test are worth treating each other with heart and maintaining it. Relationships that have not passed the test are not worth much. Spend your time.

In the letter, the eldest sister also told her a gossip.

This gossip is the most popular gossip in the entire commune right now, that is-Secretary Gao was kicked off his horse.

The reason is hard to explain, but it was because Secretary Gao had an improper relationship with a woman.

It is said that Secretary Gao and the woman have been together for several years. Since the death of Secretary Gao's wife, he has been running with the woman's shoes. Anxious, he picked up Secretary Gao and beat him up.

Secretary Gao was in his fifties, and he was used to being pampered. How could he beat a middle-aged man in his thirties who was beaten half to death by that anxious man, and threw him on the street without a trace? Let the crowd watch.

This was also exposed.

As a commune cadre, he actually made such a low-level mistake, which had a very bad impact on the society, and also seriously affected the prestige of party members and cadres in the hearts of the masses. Of course, the superiors would not condone him.

So, he was relieved of his post as commune secretary and let him go home as an old peasant.
