1017 Buying clothes (thanks to Sister Xue and the tip of the baked cake)
Cher was holding two large paper bags in her arms, one containing a few strings of sugar gourds and the other containing a stack of baked cakes wrapped in oiled paper.
These strings of sugar gourds and these baked cakes are just given to the big brothers, one for each person, enough for a share.
The uncle is going to take himself to their house, and it will be difficult to see each other again after this time.
I have been taken care of by my big brothers for so long, and I can't leave so quietly and without conscience before leaving, so of course I have to go back and talk to them.
Uncle Mei saw that she was having some difficulty holding it, so he offered to help her.
While helping Xiao Xue'er hold the food, he looked at it very funny, even if this sugar gourd is okay, it can be put away in winter, but this baked cake is different.
When it got cold, she became dry and hard, so I asked her why she didn't eat the pancakes while it was hot?
Xiao Xue'er said that it was going to be given to a few big brothers to eat.
These are all bought by the number, and if they eat one themselves, they will not be able to divide it.
After hearing this, Uncle Mei nodded secretly.
This little girl got good things, and she didn't have the mentality of swallowing them alone, and she still wanted to share them with her brothers who shared weal and woe, and she was a conscience.
I really didn't see the wrong person.
He led Cher to a ready-to-wear shop with a golden plaque.
Xiao Xue'er looked inside curiously, and found that there were two or three young men busy in the shop, and there was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, who seemed to be the boss sitting on the counter.
It seems that Uncle Mei should be an old customer of this store.
Because she noticed that the middle-aged boss in his thirties and forties saw Uncle Mei enter the door, his eyes immediately lit up, and he greeted him very warmly, smiling toothlessly and greeting:
"Ouch, Boss Yu, which gust of wind blew you here today? You haven't been here for a while, what are you going to bring to Ling Gongzi and Ling Ai today?"
You must know that this jade boss is not bad for money, and he is a big customer in their store.
Every time I come here, I don't go home empty-handed, and I'm always willing to spend a lot of money to bring something valuable to my family.
If there are a few more customers like this to take care of their own business, they will not be far away.
While speaking, the eyes of the owner of the ready-to-wear shop inadvertently noticed a child dressed like a little beggar next to Boss Yu's legs, and he was stunned and blurted out: "......What is this?"
Hearing his words, Xiao Xue'er lowered her head a little uncomfortably, and quickly shrank behind Uncle Mei to minimize her sense of existence.
Some shopkeepers hate beggars coming to their doors, and they think it's unlucky.
Beggars come to the door not only to beg for nothing, but also to be driven away like flies by their evil voices.
That's a good attitude, but if you have a bad attitude, they'll beat you with a stick.
She listened to the begging experience taught to her by those big brothers.
Like what people can go to and what people can't provoke, they all told her.
Will the owner of this shop also kick himself out?
Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't have any ill will towards her, but just asked casually curiously.
But Uncle Mei didn't prepare to explain to the boss, but naturally said that he would bring the child to buy clothes.
Then I asked him if he had any seasonal clothes that would fit the child right now.
A few words easily resolved Xiao Xue'er's embarrassment.
When the owner of the ready-to-wear shop heard this, he immediately diverted his attention, and said with a smile, yes, yes, you come with me.
The boss personally led them to a room in the middle of the room, and said respectfully: "Take a look over here to see if there is anything that suits your eyes?"
Xue'er looked up and saw that the walls inside were full of ready-to-wear clothes, especially children's clothes, almost all of which were bright and eye-catching clothes.
Uncle Mei took the little guy's hand and asked her to choose carefully.
The little guy was dazzled for a while, thinking that this one was also good-looking, and that one was also good-looking.
In the end, I had no choice but to choose a set of peach blossom pollen, and I hesitated to say that I just wanted this set, right?
Xiao Xue'er felt that these clothes were definitely not cheap.
You can only ask for one set at most, and it would be too much to ask for more.
Uncle Mei looked at the color of the clothes and gave it to the child to wear, but how could a set of clothes be enough to change and wash, so he asked her to choose another set to keep for the change.
In the end, Xiao Xue'er had to choose another set of bright red clothes.
The owner of the ready-to-wear shop looked at the two sets of clothes that the little girl chose, and had already calculated in his heart, this is made of the best muslin, and he can make a small profit by removing the cost plus the cost of workmanship and embroidery.
In short, no matter what, as soon as Boss Yu comes, he will more or less make money.
Seeing that the clothes on the little girl had chosen, the boss happily found matching shoes for the little girl to wear.
After choosing the clothes and matching two pairs of shoes for the little girl, Boss Yu looked at Xiaoxue and suddenly frowned again.
His wife is clean.
Just change your clothes without bathing, even if you change your clothes.
Anyway, they are all old acquaintances, and I think this request can be done.
So he asked the owner of the ready-to-wear shop for another thing, it turned out that he wanted to trouble their proprietress to come forward and help the child to freshen up and tidy up.
When the time comes, it is natural to add more silver to express gratitude.
The owner of the ready-to-wear shop listened to Boss Yu's words, and then looked at the little girl's messy chicken nest and understood it, so he smiled at her kindly.
Then he personally went out to the back hall and called his wife.
The proprietress was born round and jade, with a pleasing round face, and she was also a cool person.
After she came out, she generously greeted Boss Yu, and she didn't feel surprised when she saw the poor appearance of the little girl next to Boss Yu.
This proves that people's psychological quality is very high.
Seeing this situation, Boss Yu was very satisfied.
asked Xiao Xueer to come forward and salute the proprietress again.
Xiao Xue'er is also smart, learning from the way the proprietress saluted just now, and she made a salute according to the gourd painting.
After the salute, the proprietress bent down and smiled and took Xiao Xue'er's black little hand, saying that she was really smart and clever, and kept boasting to the little girl Balabala.
Xiao Xue'er was embarrassed to hear it, thinking that she was so dirty, this proprietress didn't dislike herself at all, it seems that there are good people who open the store and are as kind as Uncle Mei.
I can't help but feel grateful to this proprietress who has released kindness to herself.
Seeing that the little girl had unconsciously let down her guard and accepted herself, the proprietress struck while the iron was hot and said to Xue'er: "Good boy, you follow the eldest lady to the back room to wash it, and then put on beautiful new clothes, how about it?"
Xiao Xue'er nodded shyly.
Let's be honest, in fact, if it weren't for reality, she would also be a clean child.
However, there are no sanitary conditions in the broken temple.
When winter comes, it's hard to even get some face wash, let alone hot bath water.
Besides, these new clothes are so beautiful, so clean, and her body is so dirty and smelly, if she doesn't wash and clean her body and change into new clothes, she herself feels that she can't go to spoil these new clothes.
The proprietress bowed to Boss Yu again, took the little girl into the backyard and moved a small stool for her to sit down, and immediately went to the kitchen to make a fire and boil water.
As soon as Xiao Xue'er heard that the eldest lady wanted to boil water, she immediately said that she wanted to help her, and the proprietress hurriedly waved her hand and said no, no, but she still ran over attentively, squatted in front of the stove, and helped the proprietress hand her firewood.
The proprietress felt very funny, such a young child is quite diligent and sensible.
After a while, the hot water was boiled, and the proprietress almost exhausted the little girl's words, intentionally or unintentionally.
It turned out that this little girl's name was Niuniu, a little beggar who settled in the ruined temple in the east of the city.
Speaking of the dilapidated temple in the east of the city, the proprietress remembered an incident that happened two years ago.
The tragic experience of Sun Xiucai's family was rumored at that time.
I heard that the man first married a daughter-in-law who was in love, and Qin Se Heming.
However, the daughter-in-law had a difficult birth during childbirth, and after desperately giving birth to a female baby, she left their father and daughter and died.
After the death of his wife, Sun Xiucai has always been depressed and unhappy, and he used wine to drown his sorrows.
Later, he was drunk to death and never woke up.
When that person died, the family property and property left behind were forcibly seized by those clansmen.
His only daughter, who was only three years old, was left by those people in the dilapidated temple in the east of the city, leaving her to fend for herself.
I don't know this kid in front of me, do you?
Then she asked tentatively, it was really the poor little girl.
From the little girl's words, the proprietress guessed that the little girl was lucky when she was begging today, and happened to meet the good man Boss Yu, and saw that the little girl was really pitiful, so she was moved with compassion and was ready to take her back to take her in.
The proprietress thought in her heart, tsk, this girl really went out to meet a nobleman.
Otherwise, with her own down-and-out identity, she would have no chance of coming out in the future.
With the identity of this ominous person, when she grows up, no good people will be willing to ask her to be her daughter-in-law.
If you look very beautiful, it is very likely that you will attract those bad people to worry about the scourge in the future.
Anyway, there is no good end.
But with the help of the wealthy Jade Boss, even if she gets out of the sea of suffering, this girl will definitely be a blessed person in the future.
Xiao Xue'er didn't know what the proprietress thought, so she continued excitedly, and Uncle Mei also gave her a very beautiful and beautiful name.
In the future, she will not be called Niuniu, but "Cher".
To be honest, she didn't even feel worthy of the beautiful name "Cher" at the time.
The proprietress listened with a smile, used a wooden ladle to pour hot water into a wooden bucket, and then carried a bucket of hot water, and asked Xiao Xue'er to follow her to the inner room to bathe and change clothes.
When I entered the room, I saw a tall and big wooden barrel inside, and Xiao Xue'er was now familiar with the proprietress and returned to the lively and active nature of a child, so she ran to the big wooden barrel and tried it, and found that the wooden barrel was even taller than herself.
"Wow, auntie, this big wooden barrel of yours is so high!"
The proprietress listened to her words and happily told her that this is called a bath bucket, which is used for bathing.
