Chapter Seventy-Two: Diligence and Thrift
Early the next morning, the old lady led the little girl, and the two of them went to the county seat to sell things with a basket on their backs.
Originally, Yuan Si said that she would go by herself, and she could still put things in the space on the way, which would save trouble. As a result, the old lady was afraid that her daughter was young and had not gone to school, so she would make a mistake in calculating the accounts. In addition, no matter how capable the girl is, she is also a child, and it is better for an adult to come forward in the matter of selling things. Yuan Si couldn't tell the old lady that she was already an adult who could do arithmetic, so she could only pinch her nose and take someone with her.
As soon as the two of them came out of their homes and turned onto the main road at the entrance of the village, they saw a young man of one and a half sizes walking towards them. At first, Yuan Si didn't notice it, but as she got closer and closer, she felt the unkind eyes of the boy opposite.
Yuan Si also looked over and made sure that the eyes of the person opposite looked at him with a fierce color, so he flipped through his memory, and then remembered that this young man was the youngest son of Li Tiegen's family in the same village, that is, Li Xue's own brother.
Look at this, it must be Li Xue who went home to complain! Hey, this person wouldn't have deliberately blocked herself here, but she remembered that Li Xue said at that time that she would let her brother beat her.
Thinking of this, Yuan Si also deliberately turned her head and looked at the young man who was also looking at her, and saw the fire-breathing look in his eyes and smiled, just this little body still wants to beat her, dream, but if this young man has to do this, she doesn't mind standing up in the village again, so that those who don't know the height of the sky and the earth are far away from her.
"What are you doing, walk attentively, there is a lot of dirt on the ground, what should I do if I stumble. ”
"Hey, I see. ”
The mother and daughter carried the basket all the way into the county, they went out with a little bit, so when they arrived here, it was just noon, Yuan thought that there were few places to buy and eat here, and the old lady estimated that she didn't want to spend money to eat well, so she was ready when she was at home, and at this time she took out two oil-paper bags from her small basket and handed one to the old lady.
"What?" the old lady knew this paper, it was the oiled paper that the girl used to collect buns last time.
"I made steamed buns and meat at home, mother, didn't you say that we can't waste it when we go out, I just made some food myself, let's deal with it." Yuan Si knew that the old lady liked to listen to the diligent and thrifty housekeeping, so she leaned on the top and sold well.
The old lady still eats this set, and after listening to her daughter's words, her heart is open, and she is still intimate with her daughter, which is her little padded jacket.
When the old lady opened the paper bag and saw the luxurious version of the steamed bun with meat inside, the smile on her face was a little reluctant.
"Si'er, you're not any better than Baozi. "Look, a white flour big steamed bun in the middle of the slice into two halves, each half with a blade, but in the end not completely disconnected, there is a slice of bacon fried in oil, the bacon slice is also spread on a layer of minced meat puree, it can be seen that the material is the braised venison left over from yesterday's eating, after chopping with a knife, I don't know what to add to the steamed bun, and then there is a piece of cabbage heart.
You don't need to eat this equipment to know that it must be delicious.
"Hehe, it's all leftovers, it's just a little cold. Saying that, Yuan Si also opened her paper bag, which was the same as the steamed bun and meat in the old lady's hand.
"It's okay, so much meat, even if it's frozen into ice ballast, I can gnaw it. The old lady said angrily.
Yuan Si didn't answer, and ate half of the steamed bun in three or two bites.
The two of them ate as they walked, and by the time they reached the address on the note, they had already settled their lunch.
"Oh, that's great, you said the man lives here, it's all buildings. "It's not the first time the old lady has seen a building, but it's the first time she's seen a building so closely, and it's understandable that she is a little excited.
"Well, it's a building, so we shouldn't be wrong. Yuan Si is not surprised, the safety zone is small in the last days, so all the buildings are high-rise, can she be surprised if she has lived in a building since she was a child.
Yuan Si took the old lady to find the corresponding building number, went upstairs, and made sure that it was this address, and the old lady went up and knocked on the door.
"This door doesn't look as good as our courtyard door. The old lady whispered to her daughter.
Yuan Si nodded in agreement, the current doors of the buildings are all wooden doors painted with yellow paint, and they do not look as bright as the courtyard doors made of solid wood in their own homes.
"Who are you looking for?" The man who opened the door was a man in his thirties, and when he saw the old and the young outside, both carrying a backpack, he knew a little what these two people were doing.
Originally, the old lady should have answered, but she didn't know who she was looking for here, so she could only look at her little girl.
"May I ask if the old man who collects medicinal herbs at the purchasing station lives here, let's look for him. Yuan Si didn't ask the old man's name at that time, and the note only wrote an address, so she could only ask.
The man who opened the door thought to himself, so the door opened and made way for the two people, "Come in, my father is in the house." ”
Uncle Yang also heard movement in the house and walked out wearing slippers. When he saw Yuan Si carrying the basket on his back, he was full of smiles, "Yo, little friend, you are really here, please come in, who is this?" He saw the little old lady following behind.
"This is my mother. Yuan Si stepped in, turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, this is the old man at the acquisition station I told you." ”
The old lady stiffened her face and nodded to Uncle Yang reservedly, very stylish.
Uncle Yang was stunned for a moment when he saw the old lady like this, and then laughed a few times and said, "Welcome, welcome, come and sit down." Pengzi, pour two glasses of water for your aunt and sister-in-law. ”
The man in the back said yes and went to the kitchen.
"No, you don't have to be so polite. As she spoke, the old lady looked down at the building without a trace.
The place is a little smaller, not as big as my own house, but this building looks brighter than my own small room, and the big windows let in the sunlight, and the room looks very bright.
Of course, it's also very clean.
But it's not clean, and the land and the concrete floor can't be compared together.
"With, with, the visitor is a guest, I and the children are also forgetful, I will call you a big sister, come, please in the house. Uncle Yang led the two into the master bedroom.
Even if the current buildings are all new, they are all old layouts, there is no large living room, and generally a sofa is added to the master bedroom to be the living room.
Uncle Yang's house is like this, the room they went into is the bedroom of Uncle Yang's family, a total of more than ten square meters, a large bed of 1.35 meters by the window, and a sofa by the wall at the head of the bed. In front of the sofa is a wooden coffee table.
And on the other side of the window, that is, at the foot of the bed, there is a bogu shelf, on which are placed large and small glass jars, all of which are all kinds of sparkling wine.
