This price is too expensive for a crop farmer to buy a horse, and if you spend more than 100 wen, your daughter-in-law won’t be happy. Then buy less, buy half a horse, is almost enough for Chen to make two or three sets of clothes.
“Then you’ll pull half a horse for me.” Father Zhu thought about it and asked, “Can it be cheaper?”
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, looked down in the direction of the counter, and sounded, “I can see that big brother is going to pull it for sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law is blessed, and through the bottom of our shopkeeper’s eyes, if our relatives come to buy the cloth it can be cheaper by a few wen at their discretion. This way, when you settle the bill later, you will be the first cousin of my seventh aunt’s cousin’s family, I’ll give you a discount of three Wen for half of the cloth, but it won’t work if it’s too much.”
So fake!
Zhu Pingan bristled, just now I clearly saw you and the shopkeeper make eye contact.
“Alright then, thank you big brother.” Father Zhu was so focused on the cotton cloth he was going to bring to Chen that he didn’t notice the eye contact between the store boy and the shopkeeper, and when he heard the store boy’s words, he gave back touched enough.
Zhu father does not care does not mean that Zhu Pingan did not think, recalled that I used to read the female frequency crossing the rice planting text, the heroine can always buy some rags, edges and corners at a very cheap price in this kind of cloth store to go back to sewing purse to make money, although he will not sew purse, but mother Chen’s they will ah.
Scanning a bit, eh, sure enough, there are a lot of discarded edges under the counter fabric, are not big, that is, palm-sized or so, can not do anything, so the shopkeeper usually do not care, by the coming and going customers stepped on the wrinkled not pulling and dirty.
“That, can I have some of those rags to play with?” Zhu Pingan stretched his chubby paws and pointed at the dirty rag heads under the counter and asked in a curious voice.
The shopkeeper followed Zhu Pingan’s finger and took a look, oh, it turned out to be discarded and useless trimmings.
“Oh, those ah, you pick it up and play with it yourself.” The shopkeeper does not care, these things can be completely their own, because too do not do anything, the shopkeeper also do not want, they still have to spend time to clean up and discard, since this child is curious, take it to play, after all, they also earned the father’s money it.
A penny do not have to spend, this cheap not occupy white not occupy.
So, Zhu Pingan holding his own basket, running over, feeling the butt to the basket one by one, but also hard compaction, leaving space to plug again.
This time not only is Zhu Pingchuan embarrassed, even handing money to check out Zhu’s father are blushing.
The shopkeeper didn’t care and said casually, “You don’t need to worry about it, it’s just some rags, not worth a few dollars.”
Everything is fixed properly, set on the oxcart to go back, it is already the sun gradually westward. Father Zhu shook his whip, not wanting to hit the oxen, and drove the oxcart on the return journey.
He drove the oxcart on the return trip, humming an out-of-tune song inside his mouth.
Zhu Pingan sat on the oxcart, looking at the car full of daily necessities, and also looked at his own full basket, harvested ah, the heart is full of happiness.
Back home, the village already has a sparse smoke, near the evening of the family began to cook dinner.
The car has not yet entered the door, I heard the voice of the fourth aunt chirping and whistling.
“Ya, second brother is back ah, how much did you sell, what did you buy?”
If it was modern times, Zhu Pingan would definitely recommend Auntie Four to be an airport security checker. Looking around, she checked everything on the carriage, including Zhu Pingan’s backpack.
Luckily, the top of the basket was full of ragheads that were asked for at the fabric store, Auntie Four grabbed two large busloads of ragheads, and stopped her hands unhappily under Zhu Ping An’s gaze, not realizing the secret underneath the ragheads.
Grandmother soon also came, first looked at the things Zhu father bought, and then asked about the bamboo weaving and mountain mushrooms for sale.
Father Zhu answered one by one and handed over the wrapped copper coins again.
After looking at the money and realizing that it was more than ten more wen than before, grandmother was satisfied and asked generally why. Father Zhu then told the situation of Zhu Pingan’s hawking, so grandmother complimented Zhu Pingan.
“Did the swine’s wildflowers sell?” Fourth Auntie asked with a smile covering her mouth.
“Yes.” Zhu Pingan tilted his fat face and smiled brightly.
The fourth aunt didn’t believe it at all, thinking that it was the fart boy who was too embarrassed to talk nonsense, so she covered her mouth and laughed even more cheerfully.
Following his grandmother to put things back in order, Zhu father led his two sons back to the east room with their backpacks and baskets.
“Back ah, why did you go for so half a day, it’s a bit later than usual.” Chen was sewing the crotch of Zhu Pingan’s other pair of crotchless pants, and when she saw the three of them return, she stopped the needle and thread in her hand and looked up at the door.
Then Chen realized that Zhu Pingan had closed the door of the compartment with a short legged gurgle.
“Tired or not …… What are you doing closing the door?” Chen was surprised to see this.
“See if you like it, brought it back for you from the town, think it must look good if you make clothes.”
At this time, Zhu’s father giggled and stepped forward, pulling out the half-horse of white-on-peach cloth he had bought for Chen from the basket, and handing it to Chen as if offering it as a treasure.
“How expensive this must be, you spend money recklessly.” Chen’s mouth complained, the smile on her face could not be blocked, of course there was still heartache in her eyes.
“Mother, this is for you.” Zhu Pingan farted around and took the two meat buns wrapped in paper from his own basket.
“This is?” Chen’s good
curious to ask.
“Meat buns from the town, the noodles are soft and the filling is delicious.” Zhu Ping’an flopped onto Chen’s lap and grinned.
“You bast*rd also spend money indiscriminately, you and your brother share the food, mother does not eat.” Chen touched Zhu Pingan’s head, smiling gently.
Zhu Pingan shook his head, “I ate with my brother in town.”
Chen insisted on giving the meat buns to Zhu Pingan’s brother and sister to eat, but Zhu Pingan just insisted that Chen eat it, Chen twisted her head to look at her eldest son, Zhu Pingan also ate it with a strong head.
After thinking about it, Chen broke both meat buns in half and divided them into four, one half for each of the four members of the family.
Simple happiness, Zhu Pingan realized that the meat buns are many times more delicious than those eaten in town.
After eating the buns, Zhu’s father briefly went over the town’s affairs, and when this time Zhu’s father left a few dozens of extra words for his own family, Chen’s eyes lit up, and this log could be considered enlightened.
But when Zhu father to Zhu Pingan picked wildflowers in the town sold more than a hundred wen, there are nobles rewarded two silver naked, Zhu Pingan know is going to be bad.
Sure enough, Chen’s two big eyes glittered as she stared at Zhu Pingan, her eyes seemed to have special effects of silver flying outwards.
“How unsafe for a child like you to take so much money, hand it over.” Chen pinched her waist, glowing.
The arm could not twist the thigh.
A few minutes later, Chen cheerfully counted the money on the table.
“One, two, three, four …… One hundred and eighteen.” Chen felt something was wrong as she counted and turned her head to ask Zhu Pingan, “Isn’t it one hundred and twenty cents?”
“That two wen bought meat buns ah.” Zhu Pingan had a black line on his face.
“Uh-huh.” Chen’s head.
What seemed to be wrong? Chen always felt like she was forgetting something.
In the next second, Chen twisted her head and asked fiercely, “Where are those two silver nudes?”
Zhu Pingan’s fat hands covered his pockets and backed away, Lao Miang ah, you can’t leave it for me. Money is not everything, but without money it is everything.
Chen can not hear Zhu Pingan’s heart, of course, even if you hear it will be treated as not heard.
Zhu Pingan’s fat hand tightly covered his pocket.
It did not have much use.
“Bring it, mother put it away for you to save up money for you to get a pretty daughter-in-law haha.”
Chen’s face smiled gently, but her hands were not merciful, one by one, breaking apart Zhu Pingan’s fat hands that were covering his pockets.
“Still my son is capable.”
Looking at the two silver nudes in her hand, Chen’s eyes smiled, and sipped hard on Zhu Pingan’s fat face.
