Chapter 122: Chapter 122: They All Transford
Their aggressive deanor almost made one think they were here to settle scores.
It seed that the elder sister had already spread the word to them; the two won ca over and started feeling the cotton without any idle chatter.
Seeing it was indeed new cotton, one of them took three pounds, and the other took five pounds.
No sooner had they left, than several more groups of people arrived, all wanting to buy cotton.
Jiang Changhai was busy for a while, weighing the cotton they wanted, and collecting the money.
After waiting a while and seeing that no more people were coming, he knew that this production brigade probably comprised all the people who wanted to buy cotton.
...
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the elder sister who helped him drum up business ca back.
“Little brother, I’ve inford everyone in our village who wants to buy cotton,” the woman said breathlessly, apparently having walked quite a bit.
Jiang Changhai smiled as he handed over twenty cents, “Thanks a lot, Sister Zou. If I co again to sell things, I’ll be sure to find you.”
The woman, upon hearing Jiang Changhai’s words, could barely suppress her smile as she took the money, “Sure thing! Big brother, I live right here, my surna is Zou, just call Sister Zou. If you have more deals like this, feel free to find ! If I’m not ho, you can tell my husband as well.”
Jiang Changhai readily agreed, “Alright, Sister, don’t worry, I definitely won’t forget you. We still have quite a bit of cotton left to sell, but we’ll be heading off now.”
Then he set off for the second production brigade with Yu Cheng.
In this brigade, they sold a total of twenty-six pounds of cotton.
He had initially stored a hundred pounds, took ten pounds back ho to make cotton clothes, and now he still had sixty-four pounds left.
He hurried to the next two brigades, which should just about wrap it up.
The two of them visited two more production brigades and finally sold off all the cotton.
“Let’s go, Buddy Yu, let’s head ho!” Jiang Changhai, with a pocket full of money and humming a tune, walked ho with a spring in his step.
They made eighty yuan in half a day. After deducting the cost and the ten pounds used at ho, that was a clear profit of thirty yuan.
It should make for a good New Year’s!
Yet Yu Cheng still seed dejected, his mind lingering on his suffering uncle.
The two had sold quickly and it was still quite early when they returned ho.
Jiang Mianmian was doing howork inside the house; seeing them return, she imdiately greeted them, “Dad, you’re back!”
Jiang Changhai squatted down, picked up his daughter, and twirled her around twice, “My girl, Dad made a lot of money today. Later, I’ll take you all out for a good al at the state-owned restaurant!”
Then he held her face and gave her a big kiss, which nearly squished her chubby cheeks out of shape.
Puh—Yu Cheng, who had been gloomy all day, couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.
Su Wanyu ca back from the restroom and, seeing that both Jiang Changhai and Yu Cheng had returned, asked sowhat surprised, “Brother Hai, you’ve sold all the cotton?”
Jiang Changhai took out the money from his pocket and put it on the kang, proudly saying, “All sold, this is the money I earned today. How about that, am I aweso or what?”
“Brother Hai, you’re really sothing, earning so much money. Co sit down, you must be exhausted. Here, let give you a shoulder rub.” Su Wanyu had wanted to kiss Jiang Changhai as a form of encouragent.
But since Yu Cheng was still in the room, she felt it inappropriate and chose another way.
Jiang Mianmian also imdiately grabbed a small stool, very urgently gave her dad a leg massage, “Dad, let give you a leg rub, you’ve worked hard.”
Jiang Changhai simply scooped her up with a big hand and placed her on his lap, “Dad’s not tired, just a bit cold, you warm up.”
