Chapter 169

On that day, Li Shaoan was at home, a woman came to the door, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, which was filled with a pile of yellow and large loquats. Just by smelling the fragrance that was emitting, it made people swallow their saliva.

The woman looks pretty and has a hint of heroic spirit between her eyebrows. If you want to talk about her appearance, she is definitely the best in Tieshan Bay. Unfortunately, such a beautiful woman has a bad appearance, that is, she is limping when she walks.

This woman is Li Meifang, who chased Qian Xiaoyu and Shi Tou away yesterday, and is also Wang Hongxi's wife.

Li Meifang's leg was not born to be limp, but the time the Wang family was hit by a wild boar. Her father-in-law, Wang Danian, asked the wild boar to be killed on the spot. She ran to ask for help, and asked the wild boar to catch up. She hit the root of her thigh from behind and fell into disability.

As for his husband Wang Hongxi, he was so scared that he collapsed on the ground when he saw the wild boar and was scared to death. Later, he became a laughing stock for the villagers. He usually didn't dare to go out and hid at home for fear of being laughed at. Li Meifang basically came to the Wang family for the matter.

Yesterday, Li Meifang was very angry and chased Qian Xiaoyu and Shi Tou for a while but couldn't catch up. Not long after returning home, she didn't expect that Qian Xiaoyu would come to him and immediately settle the score with Qian Xiaoyu.

However, Qian Xiaoyu's first thing he did when he entered the door was to bow and apologize, and he insisted on handing over the five dollars to Li Meifang. Now Li Meifang, who was originally angry, had to give up. After all, how could he compete with a child, an adult?

Before leaving, Qian Xiaoyu said that she came to apologize after hearing what his elder brother Li Shaoan said. This surprised Li Meifang. She and Li Shaoan had never met before. When she married into Tieshan Bay, Li Shaoan was still studying in the city. It was rare that a person who had never met before would speak up for his righteousness. Li Meifang was very grateful and wanted to come and express her gratitude in person.

"Aunt Li, I feel ashamed of you like this. It's obvious that Xiaoyu, that boy, is wrong, so how can you come to thank you?"

Li Shaoan refused to accept the loquats sent by Li Meifang. Although the loquats were indeed tempting and made people want to eat them, they still had a mistake first and were really embarrassed to accept them.

Li Meifang smiled generously and said, "Xiaoyu and the others are just a group of children. Children are ignorant, so how can I argue with them."

After all, Li Meifang meant that Li Shaoan had to accept this basket of loquats today, otherwise he would continue to waste it like this.

Li Shaoan always felt guilty. In addition, seeing that Li Meifang was inconvenient to walk, he couldn't help but feel more pity, so he thought of a way.

"Aunt Li, what if that's the case, how many loquats you have at home, I'll take them all?" Li Shaoan smiled at Li Meifang.

When Li Meifang heard this, she immediately disagreed. It was not that she felt sorry for her loquats, but the loquats were almost hundreds of kilograms. It would cost a lot of money to collect them all, so how could Li Shaoan pay the money?

"Shao'an, if you want to eat loquats, you can go to the back of my house to pick them in the future. There is no need to do this."

Li Meifang has poor legs and feet, and her husband Wang Hongxi never leaves the door. Every year after the loquats are ripe, she will pick them up to the fork in Tieshan Bay to sell them. She can sell them as much as possible, and eat them while selling them, and the rest will rot in the field.

Li Shaoan thought of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. He is now making mushroom batches and has a good understanding of farmers' markets in several surrounding towns. If he collects loquats from Li Meifang's house and sells them in the market, he will not only make money by himself, but also solves the loquat problem of Li Meifang's house.

After hearing Li Shaoan's plan, Li Meifang narrowed her apricot eyes. If she could take away all the loquats from her family as Li Shaoan said, it would be a considerable income.

"I just have to pick so many loquats, and I can't be busy alone..."

"I'm not worried about this. I've already decided to choose someone, so let Qian Xiaoyu and Shi Tou help you."

Li Meifang laughed even more happily. She used to listen to the villagers' discussions, saying that Li Shaoan was so arrogant and that he was good at doing things and being a person. Now that I really saw him, I realized that what everyone said was true.

"Shaoan, thank you very much."

"I'm thanking me if you say anything. If you have any help in the future, please contact me."

...

After Li Meifang left, Li Shaoan asked Qian Xiaoyu to call several teenagers of the same age to give each person a salary of one yuan a day, and went to Li Meifang's house to help pick loquats.

There are many people and great power. They are also a group of energetic young men. In less than an afternoon, they swept away the loquat trees and left some unripe loquats hanging alone on the trees.

The next day, Li Shaoan followed the Qian sisters out of the village. After the siblings put Li Shaoan, Niu Tiezhu and Ma Dajiao in Yangqiao Town, they went to several other townships to prepare mushrooms.

Li Shaoan brought more than 300 kilograms of loquats and placed the stall next to Niu Tiezhu and Ma Dajiao, asking Ma Dajiao to help him shout.

April and May are the season when loquats are ripe. At this time, loquats on the market are popular. There are many people coming forward to inquire. When they heard that Li Shaoan’s loquats are only sold for 50 cents per pound, they couldn’t wait to buy a few pounds to try them.

Just as he was looking down to sell loquats, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he looked up, Li Shaoan almost remembered that he was Li Changgen, the vice principal of No. 4 Middle School.

"Principal Li, do you want to have some loquats?"

"Your loquat looks moist and full, golden in color, very fresh, so give me some."

Li Changgen is tall and thin, wearing black-framed glasses, and he speaks very politely. Just looking at his appearance, he really doesn't show that he is a logistics manager.

Generally speaking, logistics management is a position with a lot of oil and water. Once you have more oil and water, you will naturally eat well, and your body will be only big and thick.

But Li Changgen is an exception. After working as the vice principal for so many years, he is still thin. This is not because he has not caught any oil and water. On the contrary, he has made a lot of oil and water. However, this old man is a personal essence to avoid being told. He is particularly careful not to eat anything that is fried and fat.

Li Shaoan picked up a bag of loquats that looked good and gave them to Li Changgen, which was also a thank you for asking him to pull wood chips last time. "Principal Li took them to eat, so you don't have any money."

"Hey, this is not possible. You can't lose a penny of the money you should give." Li Changgen took out the money to pay with a firm attitude.

In this farmers' market, Li Changgen never accepts anything from the stall vendors in front of him. When it comes to the procurement issues of the No. 4 Middle School canteen, all the dishes were sharpened and they wanted to please Li Changgen.

Li Changgen has been standing in this position for many years, and of course he understands how many pairs of eyes are staring at him behind him. It’s not that he is not greedy, but that he is very cautious and careful.

"Shao'an, I heard that you have done a good job in the mushroom business recently." Li Changgen looked at Li Shao'an with a kind smile on his thin face.

Li Shaoan said embarrassedly: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Li Changgen suddenly lowered his voice and moved closer, saying, "The cafeteria recently changed its menu and wanted to purchase a batch of mushrooms. I wonder if you can supply it here?"

Li Shaoan never dreamed that such good things would fall on his head. He didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed, "Don't worry, Principal Li, I have as much as you want, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

"Okay, that's fine, or we start from tomorrow, what do you think?"

"no problem!"
