Chapter 52: Going to the Market Again
After breakfast, clean up the neatness.
Zhou Shujie looked at the cloudy sky outside, thought about it, and put on the military coat that was mailed back by the pillar yesterday, wrapped a scarf on his head, and carried 100 yuan in his shoulder pocket, and then waited for the ox cart to pick it up.
The eldest aunt came with the ox cart driven by the second brother, she didn't rush to the market today, she came to help Zhou Shujie take care of the children, and said hello to the eldest aunt Zhou Shujie walked out of the house.
The second brother drove the ox cart, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law sat next to each other.
The car is covered with a thick layer of wheat stalks, which is shockproof and cold-proof.
Zhou Shujie held the side of the car with his hand, and as soon as his legs were strained, he sat firmly on the car.
When the second brother saw that Zhou Shujie was done, he took a whip and tapped it on the cow's buttocks, and shouted: "Drive."
The ox cart moved slowly forward.
Along the way, Shujie and her sister-in-law chatted for a while.
At the same time, she also ate the dog food fed to her by her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
When they got to the market and put the ox cart away, they went in together, talking about what they were going to buy in a while.
Brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou said that they wanted to visit the market.
Zhou Shujie said that she was going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something.
Brother Tuesday said that he had nothing to buy, so he would accompany Zhou Shujie.
After walking a short distance together, they separated.
Brother Zhou accompanied his sister-in-law to go shopping.
Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhou Shujie looked at the back of the big brother and sister-in-law who were sticky and huhu, and suddenly felt very relieved. Maybe the word doesn't apply to her sister, but she still feels that way.
As soon as Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday entered the supply and marketing cooperative, a very beautiful little girl in the counter took the initiative to greet them.
The little girl said with a smile on her face, "Brother Tuesday, you are going to buy something again." ”
Brother Tuesday blushed, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said, "I won't buy it today, I'll accompany my sister to buy something." ”
Seeing that they were very familiar, Zhou Shujie took a closer look at this little girl. After a careful look, I recognized that this little girl was the salesman who came to buy cotton last time!
When the little girl heard that Brother Tuesday said that Zhou Shujie wanted to buy something. immediately smiled and said to Zhou Shujie: "Excuse me, what do you want to buy?"
Zhou Shujie said: "Do you have a kettle for boiling water here? The kind that sits on the stove." ”
The little salesman thought for a while and said to Zhou Shujie, "Can you wait for a while?" I'll go to the back and look for you." ”
Zhou Shujie nodded: "Okay, we're not in a hurry, you can go and find it." ”
Seeing the little salesman leave, Zhou Shujie touched Brother Tuesday with his arm and asked, "Second brother, are you very familiar with her?
Tuesday's brother's face was a little red when he was teased by his sister, and said. "Well, I don't know each other very well, but when my eldest brother got married, I came to run my legs twice, and I met twice at that time." ”
After speaking, Brother Tuesday lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Shujie's eyes. He was afraid that Zhou Shujie would keep asking questions.
Zhou Shujie held back a smile, looking at Brother Tuesday's young and heartwarming appearance, and with an expression that you don't ask, I won't say anything if you ask. This is really a rare time in a century.
In Zhou Shujie's impression, the second brother is a very good and sleek person, who has never seen him like this.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear that she would make the second brother laugh embarrassed, so she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, and her shoulders trembled.
Brother Tuesday lowered his head, and after waiting for a while, he didn't hear Zhou Shujie asking, so he looked up.
Seeing Zhou Shujie covering his mouth and holding back a smile, Brother Tuesday's face turned red to his neck.
A little annoyed and angry, he said, "Hmph, you can buy it yourself here, I'll wait for you outside." With that, he walked out.
Zhou Shujie ran away angrily when she saw it, and she couldn't bear it anymore. Putting down his hand, he laughed a few times.
In the house, you can even hear the second brother's "hum" outside the door.
Zhou Shujie wiped away the tears from laughter, shook his head, and felt that the second brother was becoming more and more interesting now.
At this time, the little salesman turned back from behind, took two kettles in his hand, one was white iron and the other was yellow brass, put the two kettles on the counter, and asked Zhou Shujie: "There are only these two left, take a look, which one do you want?"
Before Zhou Shujie, who had time to take back the smile on his face, said with a smile: "Okay!
The little salesman saw that Zhou Shujie was left alone, so he asked, "What about Brother Tuesday?
Zhou Shujie said with a smile: "He didn't leave, he said it was hot in the house, and he went outside to blow the wind."
The little salesman looked around a little puzzled, and whispered, "Is it hot? Why do I still feel so cold?"
Because the salesman whispered, Zhou Shujie didn't hear it very clearly, and he didn't ask, but just looked at the two kettles carefully.
When Zhou Shujie decided which one to buy, he looked back and found that the little salesman was staring at the door!
Feeling that Zhou Shujie was looking at her, the little salesman withdrew his gaze with a little red face, and asked Zhou Shujie, "Have you decided which one you want?"
Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "I just want this brass one, how much is this kettle?"
The little salesman put away another kettle. said to Zhou Shujie: "This brass one is more expensive, it is 32 yuan, and the iron one is only 22, do you really want this?"
Zhou Shujie nodded: "Well, I'll take this and give you money." As he spoke, he found out 40 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.
The little salesman saw that Zhou Shujie was so happy, and he didn't persuade him, so he took the money and went to find change for her.
When the salesperson came back after looking for the money, she still had a roll of things in her hand, and she handed the remaining eight yuan to Zhou Shujie along with the roll. He said, "I'll give this to you, and when I get home, I can use it to glue the cracks in the walls and windows or something." ”
Zhou Shujie said thank you, took the things, and saw that the salesperson gave her a few rolls of kraft paper.
This kraft paper is used to glue the old style paper windows because it is not so transparent. So it's the cheapest of all window paper. But fortunately, it is particularly strong, and many bosses with surnames generally use this kind of paper to glue windows.
Now that many people have replaced glass, even fewer of them sell this kind of paper, and some people buy it home and use it to walk the window cracks. Paste on the side of the kang or something, although it's not worth much, but there are a lot of little girls, and ordinary people won't give you this.
Zhou Shujie said thank you to the little salesman again! Only then did he take a bundle of kraft paper and a copper kettle and walked out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Found in the stall in front of the door, waiting for his Tuesday brother.
As soon as Brother Tuesday saw that Zhou Shuming was coming, he reached out and took two things from her hands. As soon as he saw it, he asked Zhou Shujie: "Why do you buy so much kraft paper? ”
Zhou Shujie looked at Brother Tuesday and said with a smile: "I didn't buy it, it was given to me by a little girl." ”
The second brother felt that his face was a little feverish again, so he said angrily: "You will take it when you give it to you, what a smile!"
"Hahaha......"
“……”
After laughing, the two brothers walked forward slowly!
