In the end, Zhu Pingan did not tell the fourth aunt, because Zhu Pingan ancestral hall is not yet out of it, this side of the grandmother came, just now the food box forgot to put the cake, grandmother worried that the eldest uncle is not enough to eat, specially took two cakes over.
Soon, the ancestral hall came from the grandmother’s roar. However, grandmother was ultimately biased, the thunder was loud and the eldest uncle did not receive any punishment. In this regard, Zhu Pingan was also getting used to it.
A night without wind and rain, the next day only after breakfast, grandmother urged Zhu father to go to the town to sell wild boar, the family finances are too tight. Eat wild boar in the yard was tied to sleep all night, early in the morning was grandmother in order to a large pot of food, which eaters do not know what they have to face, eat the wind rolls joyfully.
Because the boar size is too heavy, grandmother sent four uncle also followed to the town. This day also happens to be the day of the opening of the town’s big market, Chen’s several sisters-in-law together, not to go together. So an oxcart was loaded with a wild boar, a big basket of wildflowers that had been laughed at countless times by the family, and Zhu Pingan, Zhu Pingjun, and Zhu Pingchuan, and the wheels set off. Behind the car followed the fourth uncle, and Chen’s several sisters-in-law, as well as driving the car Zhu father together with a large number of departure to the town. The whole family is really mobilised.
There are many people, all the way to the chatter never heard.
“Swine, why are you going to sell flowers again?” Auntie Four walks alongside, and when she sees Zhu Pingan sitting on the oxcart and the large basket of dried wildflowers, she can’t help but want to laugh a little.
Chen rolled her eyes.
“Yeah, last time, people gave me a same board.” Zhu Pingan fussed, in a serious manner.
As a result, the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle as well as the great aunt laughed even more. A copper plate, you really think it’s the money you sell, that’s because people see you as too stupid and kindly give it to you.
The fourth aunt’s side opened a head, the family began to tease Zhu Pingan to, after all, all the way boring, there is a good laugh ah.
The first to bear the brunt is the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle hangs around, the way to tease people is also different.
“Swine, do you know why Grandmother asked us to sell pigs?” Fourth Uncle asked wistfully.
“To exchange for money.” Zhu Pingan replied indifferently.
The fourth uncle’s mischievousness intensified as he sniffed, deliberately scaring Zhu Pingan, “Yes, it’s about exchanging money. But our family still lacks a lot of money. So the money from selling the pigs is not enough, we also have to sell people.”
As soon as the fourth uncle’s words fell, Zhu Pingan clearly felt that Zhu Pingjun, who was sitting next to him, shivered and was frightened by the fourth uncle’s words.
Adults are this evil taste! Zhu Pingan was disdainful.
Of course, Zhu Ping An also cooperated by making a scared look, his fat face shivered a bit and asked, “Then who is it for sale?”
Zhu Pingjun also turned his head to look at his fourth uncle and expressed his concern.
Seeing Zhu Ping An’s scared look, Fourth Uncle was very happy and deliberately followed Zhu Ping An without any hesitation, “Of course it’s to sell you.”
Fourth Uncle thought that his words would make Zhu Ping An, a broken child, whimper and cry in fear, but he didn’t expect Zhu Ping An to grin, “Heh heh heh, I knew that Fourth Uncle wasn’t worth anything.”
The fourth uncle who was waiting to see the joke was dumbfounded, it wasn’t a matter of who was worth money ok.
Chen was the first to laugh, then the third aunt, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, and the fourth uncle was also kicked by the fourth aunt mockingly.
When we arrived at the town, we split up into several groups. Auntie and Chen’s sisters-in-law went to the women’s shop that they frequented to sell their sewn purses and to buy some coloured threads and other women’s supplies. Fourth Uncle and Father Zhu went to sell wild boars. Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Pingan to sell wildflowers, but of course everyone except Zhu’s father and Chen’s family scoffed.
It was the same medicine hall Ji Min Tang from last time, this time as soon as he entered the door, one of the two apprentices came over with a smile on his face.
“You guys can come, the honeysuckle in the shop is almost out of stock again.” This apprentice was the one who had almost turned away Zhu Ping An and his brother and sister last time, and was very enthusiastic this time.
Zhu Pingchuan was carrying a large back basket and didn’t know what to do.
Zhu Pingan naive a fat face full of smile, “Oh, that brother price can have to give us high.”
The old Chinese doctor over there twirling his moustache and reading a medicinal scripture couldn’t help but smile at his words, “As long as the quality of the honeysuckle is good, what’s the harm in giving you a few more words.”
Zhu Pingan sniffed, his fat face smiled even more broadly, “Thank you old divine doctor.”
The honeysuckle picked this time is still counted according to the top quality, the same as last time is also 50 wen a catty, the difference is that this time is a big basket of honeysuckle, not the last time Zhu Pingan’s basket, this time there are 5 catties of honeysuckle and 6 taels of money in total, according to the price of 67 wen, because there is a word from the old Chinese medicine practitioner, so the apprentice took the initiative on his own, and gave Zhu Pingan and the rest of them 70 wen.
On the way out, the old Chinese doctor kindly reminded the honeysuckle that the flowering period was coming up, and asked Zhu Ping An to go back and pick it immediately.
After leaving the medicine hall, Zhu Pingan and his elder brother put the copper coins in the basket, and then made a cover, covering it with a rag.
Zhu Pingan and his elder brother harvested a lot, and Chen over there also had an unexpected surprise.
Chen’s sisters-in-law went to the shop where they usually go to sell the purses they had worked so hard on for half a month. The purse is not simply a cloth sewn together, but requires a lot of work, the need for seams, but also embroidery temple samples, etc., a purse down to about two days it. They have to make the purse that Chen’s women made, because the pattern is not original, and the fabric used is the kind of relatively cheap cotton, so the hard work made out of the purse is not very valuable. A purse is only worth about 10 Wen.
“You are really sisters-in-law, the handiwork is not to be picked, the price is still the same, 10 wen each, you can still make it.” The shop’s female shopkeeper was very clever and treated people with the same warmth as always, making people feel valued.
The price was the same as before, so of course Chen and the others had no problem with it. First aunt and third aunt made eight and got eighty Wen. Chen only made seven and got seventy wen. The fourth aunt made nine and got ninety wen, the most money, and the whole group was happy.
“This purse, please also ask the shopkeeper to take a look and see if it can be received.”
When Great Auntie and the others were about to leave, Chen thought about it and stopped, pulling out another purse from her baggage that was different from the ones everyone else made, and called out to the shopkeeper.
This purse, is with Zhu Pingan last time to pull back the rags to do, those rags have a lot of are very good material, damask, silk, satin, silk and yarn have, Chen’s this purse is to use the good material to do, not enough fabric on a few pieces of broken step spliced together.
Female shopkeeper took touch, face is a smile, “this is also novelty, material is also good, this way, I press each 15, no, each 0 Wen charge, you see feasible.”
Chen’s heart was beating fast, 0 Wen, each 0 Wen, happiness came too suddenly.
