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

  Chapter 577 Secretary Gao was removed from office

  After arranging all this, it was the end of the semester. After Han Mingxiu's successful exam, she ushered in her second summer vacation after going to university.

  On the first day of summer vacation, Han Mingxiu took Xiaoqiu and his 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 in modern times, so they just go to Tiananmen to sell things, and they don't have to worry about being driven away, let alone confiscation of things by the city management.

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

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

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

  Han Mingxiu yelled while taking out the juicer, and skillfully squeezed out a glass of orange juice, then took out some ice cubes from the box and placed it in the orange juice.

  “Don’t miss those who are passing by. The pure natural juice with ice is delicious and thirst quenching...”

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

   "Comrade, give me a drink."

  When Xiaoqiu saw the business coming, he hurriedly squeezed a glass of orange juice and handed it to the young man excitedly, "Comrade, here is..."

  The young man took the cup and took a sip.

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

   "It's so delicious, the taste is simply incomparable..." He said, while "gumming" and drinking the orange juice in the glass.

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

  After drinking a cup, the young man still feels unfulfilled, so he buys another cup.

  With his live advertisement on the spot, people kept coming over to buy it, "Comrade, give me a cup..."

   "I want a drink too..."

The business of the stalls suddenly became hot. Many people passing by saw that everyone was gathering here to buy juice, so they all came to buy a glass of juice. Anyway, the two cents is not a big sum. Everyone can pay for it. Up.

  That’s it, buying juice one by one, Han Mingxiu and Xiao Qiu are busy squeezing juice for customers, Xiao Si is responsible for collecting money and accounting, Xiao Wu is responsible for cleaning the cups.

  Several people were very busy. In less than two hours, 100 catties of oranges were sold out, and some of them were squeezed for a long time, and they licked their lips with regret.

"Sister-in-law, look, let's sell out the juice!" Xiao Qiu excitedly suggested loudly as he packed the boxes, "Can you tell your friend, give us more oranges every day? It's not enough to sell!"

   Xiao Si tightly clutched her shoulder bag, and said excitedly: "Yes, according to this selling method, we can sell three to five hundred catties a day without much effort."

   "Yes, yes, it hasn't been very hot in the past few days. If we wait for a few days to heat up, our juice will definitely sell better." Xiao Wu also said excitedly.

Han Mingxiu saw the excitement of a few sisters, and was very happy that he could do something for them, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will tell him tomorrow and let him prepare 500 catties for us a day. I guess it’s going to be sold to Chengdu, which is very popular. It can sell for almost 500 catties, but there is no need to force it. If we can’t sell it, we’ll take it back and juice it ourselves.”

When Xiao Qiu heard his sister-in-law said that it could not be sold, he hurriedly flicked his braid and said firmly: "Sister-in-law, we can sell it, we can definitely sell it! If we can't sell it, we won't go back to the dormitory. Time to go back."

  Although it's summer vacation, some of their sisters still live in school.

  Because it is a technical school, it is a place where you mainly learn technology, so it is different from those schools that learn cultural knowledge. There are still some classes in the school during the summer vacation, so the dormitory and canteen are not closed. Xiaoqiu and the others can continue to live in the dormitory and continue to eat in the school canteen.

  Han Mingxiu heard that Xiaoqiu said that he would not go back if he couldn't sell them. He knew that the child was reluctant to leave oranges, but after all, Xiaoqiu and the others were all girls, and it wouldn't be good to go back too late. It’s too late, and it is very likely that you will encounter bad people. Even if you don’t meet bad people, girls’ homes will always go back so late, and you’ll suffer.

  So, Han Mingxiu gave them a death order: they must go back to the dormitory before nine o'clock every night, regardless of whether they are sold out or not! If you can't sell it, keep it for tomorrow and sell it again. If the overnight time runs out, then throw it away.

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

  Although Xiaoqiu and the others are reluctant to throw oranges, they still listen to their sister-in-law. Since the sister-in-law asked them to do this, they had to reluctantly agree.

   When returning to the Jiaolou Siheyuan to deliver the tricycle, the four of their aunts counted the money they made today.

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

  After working for more than two hours, they made ten yuan. These old money are almost as good as they made for a month in their hometown.

  The next morning, when Han Mingxiu went to the courtyard on the side of the turret when he was running in the morning, he put 500 catties of oranges in the wing of the courtyard. Xiaoqiu and the others came to the courtyard to pick up the goods after eight o'clock.

  Because orange juice is not like other foods, there is no need to go out too early, and few people want to drink drinks early in the morning. Basically, they can go out at the stall at 8 or 9 o'clock.

Now the weather is hot, the time for stalls is 8 or 9 o’clock, and they can go out to 8 or 9 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 their money. .

  Han Mingxiu only went to the stall with them for one day and stopped going. After all, this is their sister's own business, and she has fulfilled her responsibility by leading them on the road.

  If she follows them every day, one is that she doesn't have so much time, and the other is that Xiaoqiu and the others will also have a psychological burden.

If she worked with them, Xiaoqiu and the others would definitely want to share a share of the money they made. If Han Mingxiu didn’t want the money they gave her, they would feel guilty and feel sorry for her. From the next day, she let them do it alone.

  Except for sending fruits to the courtyard house in the turret every morning, and then going there every other night to collect the "purchase cost," the rest, basically don't have to worry about Han Mingxiu.

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

Once when she went to collect money, Xiao Qiu said to her excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I never dreamed that doing business could make money like this! Or, I'll sell juice for a lifetime. I think it's more profitable than being a tailor. too much."

Han Mingxiu immediately corrected her thoughts and said, “You can’t just look at the benefits in front of you as a human being. If you look at the moment, selling juice is indeed better than clothing. But selling juice is not a long-term solution. It’s been only these two months that the juice will sell well. After these two months, the weather will be cold. Who will drink the juice?"

"Furthermore, you have learned the craftsmanship of clothing tailoring. It can be used to support your family at any time. However, this business of selling fruit juice is subject to certain conditions. If it exceeds the scope of the conditions, you will I can’t do it, so it’s better to have a skill."

   Xiaoqiu heard Han Mingxiu's words, and then he dispelled the idea of ​​quitting school to sell juice. She just made up her mind that even if she returned to school in the future, she could 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.

  They sell a lot of oranges every day for three years, and they can basically sell out 500 catties of oranges every day. That is to say, they have an income of 50 yuan every day.

  It’s only a week since the vacation, and their sisters saved hundreds of dollars. In addition to paying enough for the tuition money that Han Mingxiu had paid for them, there was still a sum left.

  One day, it rained heavily, because the rain was too heavy to go out of the stall, and the sisters Xiaoqiu came to Uncle Gao’s house together and returned the tuition money that Han Mingxiu helped them to advance to Han Mingxiu.

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

  Xiaoqiu and the others don’t want to owe too much to their sister-in-law, otherwise they will have a psychological burden, so now that they have money, they quickly come to pay back the sister-in-law’s money.

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

The letter was written by the eldest sister. Since hitting the eldest sister and her family back from the capital, the frequency of communication between the two sisters has become more frequent. When visiting the capital, the eldest sister has gained more knowledge and is more open-minded than before, even writing letters. It's longer than what was written before.

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

First of all, the eldest sister’s house has built a new house. The original three small adobe houses in the house were turned into five big red brick ridges. Now if they go back to their hometown, they will have a place to live, and there is no need to go to the grandmother’s house to look for it. Overnight.

  In addition, Xiaojing, the eldest daughter of the old uncle’s family, is engaged. An inspector at the grain shop in the target town is scheduled to get married on the sixth day of next month. The old uncle specifically confessed to Han Mingcui and asked her to try to notify Han Mingxiu so that Han Mingxiu could find time to come back for the wedding.

  Han Mingxiu is impossible to go back.

  Although she is now in the summer vacation and nothing is wrong, she is not happy to run back and forth.

  Mainly because her relationship with her old uncle’s family has not yet reached the point where she deliberately ran back for their family’s affairs. Although the old uncle was okay to her when he lived in the village, it was only okay, and did not help her lonely niece too much. It's like when she was forced to marry Zhang Er donkey by her grandma. When she hit the wall in anger, the old uncle didn't help herself.

  So, Han Mingxiu just sent them some money and went back with a courtesy man, doing his best.

Some relations between relatives can be maintained as long as it is possible. There is no need to be too close. Only those relatives who have undergone trials are worthy of treating each other with care and maintaining them. The relationship that has not passed the test is not worth much. Spend thoughts.

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

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

  The reason is hard to tell. It turned out that 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. Recently, he was unfortunately blocked by the old lady’s husband in the bed, and then the woman’s husband Anxious, he picked up Secretary Gao and gave him a fat beating.

Secretary Gao is all in his fifties, and he is used to being pampered. The man who has been in his thirties was beaten to death by that anxious man, and he was thrown into the street without slipping away. Let the crowd watch.

  This incident was also exposed.

  As a commune cadre, he actually made such a low-level mistake, which had a very bad impact on society and 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 position as secretary of the commune and asked him to go home as an old farmer.
