After breakfast, Niu Xiaoqiang followed his mother and eldest sister to the field to pull barnyard grass. He memorized words while working, and this attitude of studying hard made his mother and sister on the side happy, and they all felt that Niu Xiaoqiang would definitely be able to make a difference in the future.

The three of them worked until midnight. Niu Xiaoqiang cleaned the mud on his legs in the ditch in the valley and walked back barefoot.

When he walked to the door of the house, he found that Niu Xiaodong and the three of them were all squatting under the big tree in front of their house. The three of them looked like they were taking advantage of the cold, but their attention was not very concentrated, as if they had something on their minds.

Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming back, the three of them immediately greeted him, and Niu Huahua spoke first: "Brother Xiaoqiang, where are we going to find out the news later?"

Niu Xiaoqiang had already thought clearly: "The county seat is too far away, there are dozens of miles of mountain roads back and forth, we have to help the family work in the afternoon, and the time is definitely not enough, so the county town will not consider it for the time being, let's go to the town first, if the situation in the town is not ideal, then consider going to the county seat." ”

Niu Xiaoyong muttered when he heard this: "If only we could ride a bicycle, then the time spent on the road will be reduced a lot, and it will be much more convenient to go out to sell things in the future." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up: "This reminds me that we really need to learn to ride a bicycle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to do anything in the future, so let's start today, we will spare two hours every night to learn to ride a bicycle, and strive to learn it as soon as possible." ”

Niu Huahua pursed her lips: "Then there will be no time to watch TV." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang persuaded: "When we make money in the future, you can buy a TV and go back, and you can watch it as much as you want, as for now, of course, it is important to make money." ”

Niu Huahua thought about it too, smiled and nodded.

"Let's go back first, and after lunch, let's go to the willow tree at the entrance of the village to gather. ”

"Okay!"

After sending a few friends, Niu Xiaoqiang walked into the kitchen and prepared to help light the fire. The eldest sister Niu Chunxiang couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, what were you discussing just now, why are you making it mysterious?"

Niu Xiaoqiang haha: "It's nothing, I just discussed the matter of learning to ride a bicycle." ”

Niu Chunxiang sighed: "This relationship is good, you can teach me when you learn it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, and then diverted the topic.

After the meal was ready, Niu Xiaoqiang filled his stomach at the fastest speed he had recently, and then quietly slipped out of the back door. Niu Xiaodong and the three of them had already arrived, and after everyone gathered, they walked towards the town together.

The sun was very hot at noon, and the four of them walked quickly under the scorching sun, and it took them more than half an hour to reach the town.

This small town located deep in the mountains is called Aoshan Town, and the reason why it was named is because the town was built on a flat piece of land in the recess of the mountain.

The four of them first went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative, where the goods are relatively complete, not only selling daily necessities, but also opening a meat window. However, many goods here need to be purchased by ticket, and even pork is supplied by ticket. If you have money and no tickets, people won't sell them to you.

Niu Xiaoqiang has a very bad impression of the supply and marketing cooperative, because the salespeople here are all like uncles, with a very bad attitude, as if you are asking them for charity when you come to buy something.

Niu Xiaodong and the three of them were also very dissatisfied with the service attitude of the supply and marketing cooperative, and when they saw Niu Xiaoqiang walking to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Niu Huahua couldn't help it at first: "Brother Xiaoqiang, why are you taking us to be angry?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "I just came to see the retail prices of other people, and I didn't want to deal with them. ”

Only then did the three of them understand and praised Niu Xiaoqiang. Niu Xiaoqiang smiled: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll come out soon." ”

"Yes, we know. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang turned around and walked into the gate of the town's supply and marketing cooperative, several salesmen inside were sitting in front of the electric fan and chatting, seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming in, a few people just glanced at it and turned back to continue chatting, directly treating Niu Xiaoqiang as air.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't bother to take care of the women, he walked quickly to the meat area, and found that there was only a small amount of pork and a few fish that were not too big. He gave a quick glance at the retail price, took it to heart, and turned to leave.

This time, the salesmen didn't even glance at it, Niu Xiaoqiang had a feeling that if he secretly took something, it was estimated that the other party would not find out.

"Brother Qiang, do you see the price?"

"I've written it down, let's go, let's go to the vegetable market." ”

The three of them nodded and followed Niu Xiaoqiang in the direction of the vegetable market.

The place is crowded in the morning. Since some goods do not need to be supplied by tickets, and can be bought with money, business is very good, and most of the families of the workers of the arsenal will go the extra mile to buy vegetables here. Now that noon has passed, everything that should be bought has been bought, so only a dozen or so fixed storefronts are still open in the vegetable market, and none of the vegetable farmers who set up stalls can be seen.

Niu Xiaoqiang stood in the shade and observed the situation, then pointed to a shop at the east end and said, "It seems that there are aquatic products sold there, let's go over and ask." ”

This is the first time they have done business in their lives, including Niu Xiaoqiang, everyone's hearts can't help but be a little apprehensive. But in order to make money, they can only bite the bullet.

After walking to the door of the store, Niu Xiaoqiang took a look inside and found that several small pools had been built with cement and stones, and some different kinds of fish were kept in the pools. A man in a tank top and shorts was napping on a table, with a few fish scales sticking to his arm. Niu Xiaoqiang felt that this man should be the shopkeeper, and when he saw that people were taking a nap, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Niu Xiaodong and the others all shrank behind Niu Xiaoqiang, and when they saw that Niu Xiaoqiang didn't speak, Niu Xiaoyong couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Qiang, you hope that the owner of the farm, of course you must carry forward the leadership style at this time." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang got the most shares, and when he heard this, he naturally couldn't shirk it, so he coughed at the moment: "Well, look at me." ”

He took a deep breath and walked into the store with his legs raised. Just as he was about to speak, the owner of the fish shop woke up on his own.

The owner of the fish shop was just pretending to sleep, and when he heard the footsteps, he thought it was a customer who came to the door, so he hurriedly stood up and showed a smile: "Little brother, you are here to help the family buy fish, right? I don't need any bills here, as long as you have money, you can buy it, and the variety is also very complete. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's face turned red, and he said with embarrassment in his shyness: "Uncle, that ...... I'm not here to buy fish...... Instead, they came to sell fish...... I wonder if you can accept fish here?"
