Caixia's mother was really scheming, and sent Caixia to a cousin's house who didn't know how many bends she had turned. And her cousin actually lives in the mountains, deeper than the Xie family.

In the mountains, Caoxiang didn't run wildly, but even if it was a normal climb, it was much faster than ordinary people, and it only took a little more than two hours to reach the small cottage where Caixia was looking for it.

The small cottage does not enter strangers all year round, and as soon as the grass fragrance appears, it will inevitably be watched and questioned. In order to reduce the trouble, she took some household necessities from the wholesale store in advance, and changed her clothes in the space, pretending to be a businessman.

This small cottage, because it is located in the deep mountains, it is not easy to go down the mountain, so the small cottage is really lacking in everything. The mountain goods in the mountains are also cheap to the end, and the prices are high and difficult to buy at the bottom of the mountain, but there are cases on the mountain that they are broken and thrown away or fed to livestock.

Since the crackdown on capitalism in the past six years, there has been no merchant in the mountains to buy and sell goods, and today I suddenly saw a young merchant coming, and the small cottage suddenly seemed to be lively with the New Year. Women, children, and old ladies ran out of the house one after another, and even some men couldn't help but be curious, so they came close to see if there were any of them for their own use.

The fragrance of grass is selected by the women for needlework, matches, socks, turbans, these small things are small and small. She herself took out cigarettes, lighters, and razors to show the onlookers to the men, "Brothers, uncles, take a look at this, too! This is a cigarette, which is more convenient and portable than the dry tobacco you usually smoke. This razor is also very suitable for you, the beard always grows quickly, with this, you don't have to spend money to find a shaver to help you shave your beard......"

Grass Fragrance Balabala sells his own things, and he looks particularly like a serious merchant. Some people are very tempted to buy, but they are reluctant to spend money, there are many things in the mountains but there is a serious shortage of money, and few have the good luck of the Xie family. When they heard Cao Xiang say that they could exchange the mountain goods for things, they all ran home with a smile on their faces and took out all the newly collected mountain goods at home.

Dried fungus, dried white fungus, dried bracken, dried bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoot slices, air-dried pheasant, air-dried rabbit meat, although these are not expensive in the eyes of Cao Xiang, but to do enough play, I still smiled and exchanged the corresponding price one by one, and exchanged things for them. Even the children took chestnuts, walnuts and grass in exchange for a lot of toffee, fruit candy, and instant noodles, which children love to eat. Caoxiang stayed until noon, everything was almost finished, and I hadn't seen Caixia come out yet, so I was inevitably a little impatient.

While tidying up her things, she secretly checked the situation in the cottage, and happened to see a few girls coming down the hillside behind the cottage. Caoxiang has good eyesight, and at a glance, I can see that there is Caixia among these girls.

Cao Xiang was still thinking about how to quietly take away Caixia, when she heard a woman next to her say: "Ah, Alain, they have come back to eat, my family's meal has not been cooked, have you done it?"

Another woman replied, "I didn't do it either, but when they got home, I let them do it themselves, so I don't get used to them." ”

Another woman's voice appeared: "Look at that relative of the Zhaorong family, I don't know if it is a real relative, or was it bought back to be a child bride?"

"Go! you care about her so much, it's really idle!" an old woman glared at the woman who said this, presumably the woman's mother-in-law.

There was a young daughter-in-law next to her, and she smiled and said, "Tell me what's there!" Besides, this child is really a relative of Aunt Zhaorong's family, and it seems to be a relative of her mother's family. Her mother was unexpectedly pregnant, so she sent the child here to hide, saying that she would take the child back after the child was born and reported to the household registration. ”

The old woman snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you believe this coaxing child?"

Cao Xiang nodded secretly: The old man is the old man, and he always sees things more thoroughly than the young man!

Although she knew that Caixia was here, she was not sure in her heart until she saw her. Now that I see someone, I start to think about how I can take Caixia away, but no one would have thought that she was a merchant who did it?

She was still pretending to be packing up her things carefully, and her ears were listening carefully to the gossip of a few women. From their chats, we know that the girls in the mountains are not studying, and they are busy feeding the animals and doing housework when they get up in the morning, and after breakfast, they will follow the adults to the mountains to pick mountain goods, or be busy with farm work in the fields. Although Caixia was a guest, the relative did not seem to treat her as a guest, but asked her to work in the mountains and fields like the other children in the family.

Six or seven-year-old children even have to work the same way? However, when Cao Xiang heard that Caixia was going into the mountains every day, she felt that it was an opportunity, so she thought about it.

Perhaps the things to be bought had already been purchased, or perhaps it was time to cook, and many women and old ladies began to take what they had bought and went back to their homes. Only three women were still pulling the little leftover goods of Caoxiang, and they tried their best to persuade Caoxiang to sell it to them cheaply.

Cao Xiang was annoyed by their chatter because she was thinking about things in her head, and replied angrily: "Let you men help me send these things down the mountain, and I don't need to give you the rest of the money." ”

"Really, then I'm going to call my boy's father. ”

A young woman happily clutches a bottle of Yashuang that she had just wanted to buy cheaply.

The other woman was reluctant to put a piece of wrestler soap in one hand and a stick of plum soap in the other, and said anxiously: "Big brother, don't be joking! If I call my man to help you work, you really can't ask me for money." ”

"I'm not kidding! I'm going to call someone! I've got to go down the mountain and find a place to eat, I've been hungry all morning. ”

The last woman was holding two stacks of cotton socks, one for adults and the other for children between five and eight years old. She was thinking about asking her man to go down the mountain, but she only got these two stacks of cotton socks, which didn't seem to be cost-effective. Hearing Caoxiang say something about eating, he asked hesitantly: "My family takes care of your meal, can you give me these two piles of cotton socks?"

Cao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "It's okay!"

While they were still eating at the woman's house, the men from the other two women's houses had already eaten and came over to wait. They carried the picks down the mountain as if they were walking on a flat road, which reminded Caoxiang of the porters written in a text, they were not easy but they were also very powerful.
