sailing in that era

Chapter 7 Grandpa's Rich Life

Peng Baili found that the supply and marketing cooperative is really a magical place where everything can be bought and sold.

At present, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is the largest grocery store in the country. It can be said that it has never been seen before, and there will be no one in the future that can radiate the whole country like this.

Peng Baili could see the supply and marketing cooperative standing opposite No. [-] Middle School from a distance, mainly because there was a big plaque on the store, which was very clear and eye-catching.

Peng Baili and the others came to the store and went directly to the salesperson.

The saleswoman looked at them both.

At this time, his father was obviously a little embarrassed to say the purpose, so Peng Baili had no choice but to get on the horse himself, and said in a calm and generous manner.

"Hello, sister, can you collect medicinal materials here?"

When the salesperson heard what he said, she couldn't help but look at him a few times. The main reason was that he was only 12 years old, and he came from the countryside. He was not shy at all, and she was a little curious.

"Brother, your mouth is so sweet, isn't it the medicine!"

"Old Fang, your business is coming!"

The salesperson had a sweet smile on her face. She was almost forty, and it was very rewarding to hear a child call her sister.

At this time, an old man in his 50s who was watching people playing chess on the street heard the call of the salesperson, so he walked towards this side.

He said as he walked.

"What kind of medicinal materials did you bring? We won't accept the worthless ones!"

At this time, my father quickly put the back basket off his shoulders, and said at the same time.

"Comrade Fang, just take a look to see if the goods are good or not. I can only say that mine has a price but no market."

Father has relaxed a lot now, and he speaks more neatly.

After Lao Fang came over, he took Tianma and looked at it carefully, his eyes kept flashing brightly. After looking at it for a while, he took out the reading glasses from his bag and observed carefully.

Then he put down the Gastrodia elata in his hand and said with a sigh.

"Good stuff! Why are there so many of these things all of a sudden?"

"Comrade, you are getting rich!"

Father was obviously a little anxious just now, but after listening to what Lao Fang said, his eyes suddenly seemed to be brightened, and they were bright.

"Comrade Fang, this... how much do you think the price is?"

After hearing this, Peng Baili didn't know what to say?This is too timid too fast!

At this time, he had no choice but to speak with a little naivety.

"Dad, there is news about this in the newspaper I got from our teacher. Some time ago, someone came to the county and sold a plant for 15 yuan. I heard that the hemp was only about half a tael that day?"

"Our Gastrodia elata averages at least one or two, so it should be more valuable!"

Lao Fang glanced at Peng Baili in surprise, seeing that this thin child had a mature temperament, and although he was dressed plainly, he was clean, and he put away some bad thoughts in his heart.

"Hmm, comrade, is this your child?"

"He's right. I've seen this Gastrodia elata very well. It's rare in wild Gastrodia elata. How about I give you 30 yuan per plant?"

Father's hands trembled when he heard this, and he said quickly.

"Okay, okay, just 30 yuan? Is it cash?"

……

When Peng Baili and his father left the supply and marketing cooperative, the salesman sent them off with a smile on his face. This time, his father was finally arrogant.

First, I bought a silver comb for my mother, and I bought a pair of Hongtashan combs for myself. I also pulled out some good fabrics that the whole family could change into a set.

At Peng Baili's suggestion, he also bought two catties of white rabbit toffee.

Although my father's face on the street was excited, he was a little nervous, as if everyone who looked at the front, back, left, and right were all bad guys.

It's not his fault, now he has thousands of dollars on him!

There are a total of 35 wild Gastrodia elata, which were sold for a total of 1050 yuan. Later, they made a big purchase in the supply and marketing cooperative, which cost a total of about 50 yuan.

In this case, the two of them headed straight for the credit union.

It wasn't until he left the credit union that my father often breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, we really made it this time!"

"I really didn't expect that thing to be so valuable?

I wonder if Maowotou is still there?

It seems that I will also go up the mountain to look for it when I go back. This thing is much better than Zhongzhuangjia! "

Father shook his head and sighed again and again.

Peng Baili has no hope for this. Wild gastrodia elata is not so easy to find. The growth conditions of this thing are relatively harsh. In the village, he has never heard of anyone else except the gastrodia elata they sold today. found.

He heard from the old man that wild Gastrodia elata would run away when it saw people. This is of course nonsense, but it also reflects the rarity of this thing.

In fact, today's Gastrodia elata is also sold at a disadvantage. Generally, the older the medicinal material is, the bigger the price is, the more valuable it is. Today's Gastrodia elata is only twice the weight of half and double, which is obviously a loss.

Regarding this, Peng Baili also pretended not to know, and always asked Lao Fang to make some money, hello, me, hello everyone!

What's more, this is what my father agreed to, as long as he is happy.

His father and he didn't stay in the city for a long time either, they just strolled around and walked directly to the bus stop.

When they passed by the next township, they got off the bus directly, and then headed towards the aunt's house.

"What are you doing here? If you pick me up, forget it!"

When Grandpa saw Peng Baili and his son at the aunt's house, he was surprised at first, and then his face was straightened, and his voice was a little stiff.

"Grandpa, we just miss you and came to see you specially!"

Peng Baili said with joy when he saw his grandfather.

He saw the current grandfather's gray hair, gray beard, wearing a blue felt hat, his high nose bridge, and those somewhat majestic eyes, all of which showed that he was very energetic.

Peng Baili's heart is full of warmth, it's great to see grandpa again!

At this time, my father took out a piece of five or six catties of pork, and a bag of big white rabbit toffee. The cousins ​​of my aunt's house lit up when they saw the toffee.

"Brother, what are you doing? Spending so much money!"

When the aunt saw Peng Baili's father bring so many presents, she was not very happy.

My father was a little embarrassed when he heard his sister's words, "No, every time I come here empty-handed, this time we went to the county to earn some money, so we wanted to bring something to Xiaokai and the others (the children of the aunt's family). "

Although the aunt was very warm in her heart, she still said with hatred.

"Don't make it like this if you have money, it's not like you don't know the situation of your family.

Brother, I am the happiest if you can live a good life. "

After listening to the aunt's words, the father lowered his head a little depressed, like a child who has done something wrong.

Peng Baili was a little funny and moved when he saw this situation. Her father was more than ten years younger than her aunt. It can be said that her father was just born when she got married.

It stands to reason that this relationship should not be too deep, but the fact is just the opposite. My aunt is really kind to my father from the bottom of my heart. I am afraid that my grandmother died early, so my aunt played the role of a mother.

Therefore, the feelings in it are really not comparable to that of ordinary siblings.

At this time, Peng Baili quickly smoothed things over for his father, and said to his aunt with a smile.

"Auntie, it didn't cost much. We made a lot of money this time. The family's loan must be cleaned up when we go back this time."

After hearing what he said, the aunt still looked at his father suspiciously.

Only then did the father tell the story of what happened to them in the city today vividly. Judging by his expression, he looked like a child waiting to be praised.

This scene made Peng Baili a little funny.

After hearing all the content, Grandpa also had a look of joy, "This is really great, really great!"

The aunt was also very happy to hear that, and then said with a serious face.

"Little brother, don't talk about it casually in the future, if you have money, you can know it yourself, and don't spend it recklessly.

I see!Ask someone to repair a house to live in..."

……

Peng Baili lived very comfortably at his aunt's house. Several cousins ​​treated him very well, and his two cousins ​​also treated him very well.

The next morning, Grandpa couldn't wait to go home. He had stayed at the aunt's house for half a month. If he hadn't quarreled with his mother before and was embarrassed to go back by himself, he would have gone back a long time ago.

They walked home directly, and their father bought things from the county with a basket on his back. As for grandpa and Peng Baili, there were endless things to talk about, and my father would interject a few words from time to time.

One thing Peng Baili discovered was that the old man was very interested in martial arts novels.

The source of grandfather's martial arts novels was listening to his father tell him, and after he finished listening, he told them to the three brothers. In fact, in Peng Baili's impression, many of his grandfather's martial arts stories were distorted.

The stories didn't match at all, but it didn't stop the three brothers from loving the old man telling stories when they were young.

When the old man is telling stories, he doesn't like someone to interrupt his train of thought. If someone breaks this taboo, there will be no good results!

In fact, the old man has a lot of experience in life. He has been a national army (county soldier) and a bandit.

It stands to reason that this kind of experience should have been very nourishing when he was young, but on the contrary, when he was young, his family lived a life without a meal.

The main reason for this is that although Grandpa has a hot temper, he is straight-hearted and has a good heart, and he never exploited others.

At that time, the heart is not ruthless, and you can't stand firm!

It's not popular anywhere!

Of course, this is not without benefits. During the liberation, many people in their village were directly eaten peanuts. Although Grandpa had a complicated experience, he was not disturbed at all.

Peng Baili still remembered that the old man told them about the battlefield. Those stories really made their blood boil, so that they had a small dream in their hearts, which was to grow up to be a soldier.

Nothing else, just feel so majestic!

You can hold a gun, click!

When Peng Baili and the others rushed home, the third brother Peng Wanli was playing at the second uncle's house.

The second aunt looked at the third child who was jumping up and down, and then looked at the two of her own who were sitting motionless, like logs, and felt very unhappy, so she said darkly.

"Little San, you can still laugh, your big fat pig will be kicked out!"

The third child didn't believe it after hearing it, and looked like I didn't listen.

"You're talking nonsense! My father and elder brother went to the county to sell gastrodia elata, but they made a lot of money! They also promised to buy me white rabbit milk candy! I won't give it to you."

After hearing this, the second aunt's expression became disdainful, and her words became even more ugly.
