Chapter 42: Changing money

Zhou Xiaoliu saw that he finally believed in himself, so he continued: "Wait for tomorrow, we will call my sister to go to the market together, and then avoid my sister's ......"

"You stupid, why do you have to wait for tomorrow, the gold shop is open every day to do business!" she didn't finish her words, and was interrupted by Zhou Peng again.

Zhou Peng rolled his eyes, and then said: "In the afternoon, I pretended to have a stomachache and asked the teacher for a leave, and we will go in the afternoon, go faster, just in time to come back before school." ”

Zhou Xiaoliu nodded, although she had to make an extra trip, but the step of avoiding the third sister and exchanging the gold ring for money could be completed more smoothly, and she had nothing to say to her brother that she was stupid.

After lunch, Zhou Xiaoliu took out three pairs of shoes of his own, picked out the pair with the least worn soles and put them on his feet.

These three pairs of shoes are all old shoes worn by her brothers and sisters who are small and replaced, they don't fit for her, they will fall off when she walks anyway, she doesn't compare the size, only pick the ones with thick soles, the soles are thicker, at least the soles will be a little more comfortable.

went back to the town to send Zhou's father and Zhou's mother south, and walked back and forth, and the soles of her feet almost didn't prick the stones on the road.

She decided that tomorrow she was going to buy herself a new pair of shoes.

When Zhou Xiaoxian and Zhou Peng went to school, Zhou Xiaoliu locked the door and slowly walked towards the entrance of the village. When she walked to Aunt Xiuhua's grocery store, the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon, and after a while, she saw Zhou Peng, who was bowing slightly and holding his stomach, coming out of the school gate.

Zhou Peng was walking neither fast nor slow, and his teachers and classmates were still looking in his direction.

If you walk fast, you will be suspected of having diarrhea and not being able to hold back, and you may be teased by your classmates. If he walks slowly and seems to be in serious pain, the teacher should have left him and asked someone to call the parents to pick him up.

When he got out of the school gate and walked out of the teacher's sight, Zhou Peng instantly straightened his waist and led Zhou Xiaoliu to run wildly in the direction of the town.

"Wait a minute, stop ......" Zhou Xiaoliu shouted several times, Zhou Peng didn't seem to hear it, and still dragged her forward, this was the first time he lied to the teacher, he was both excited and scared, he had to run away, so as not to run into acquaintances and be exposed.

Zhou Xiaoliu shook off his hand vigorously, gasped and stopped, and shouted to him, "What are you doing running so fast?"

Zhou Peng couldn't hold his feet after being thrown away, and sprinted forward a few meters before turning around, frowning and asking, "What are ......you doing when you stop?"

Zhou Xiaoliu rolled his eyes, lifted his pants up, squatted down and tied the shoelaces tightly, and said: "It's not as good as you, the clothes are all well-fitting, I can run with these pants and shoes?"

Zhou Peng reacted at this time, so he said to Zhou Xiaoliu: "Time is there, then let's go slowly." ”

The two walked for half an hour and finally arrived in town. Liu Ji Gold Shop is located in the four streets of the "well" shape, and the location at the end of the vertical area looks a bit off.

According to custom, a new grandmother has to make silverware for her newborn grandson and granddaughter, and if she has a good family, she will add a little gold. There is only one gold shop in the town, so even if the location is a little off, the business of Liu Ji's gold shop is very good.

Zhou Xiaoliu and Zhou Peng entered the store, stood aside, and watched Lao Liu receive the two new grandmother guests, before asking Lao Liu: "Boss, how much is a gram of gold?"

Lao Liu saw Zhou Xiaoliu and Zhou Peng at the beginning, but he thought that they were the children brought by the first two guests, so he ignored them, and when he and the two guests carefully agreed on the style and weight of the silverware to be beaten, and when he collected the subscription money and was ready to start work, he was surprised when he heard Zhou Xiaoliu ask, but he still answered her: "80 yuan a gram, but after the beating, you will have to charge another manual fee." ”

Zhou Peng looked at Lao Liu's display cabinet, pointed to one of the small displays, and asked, "This is the most expensive, right?

Lao Liu saw that Zhou Peng was pointing to a thousand pure gold, and said in his heart, which bear child is this, his eyesight is good, he replied good-naturedly: "90 yuan a gram! Uncle is going to do things now, you can go play elsewhere!" After speaking, he took out some small tools and prepared to start working.

Zhou Peng asked again: "How much do you charge for the 90 yuan a gram that goes out to the house?"

Lao Liu smiled and didn't answer.

Zhou Xiaoliu directly explained his intentions: "We want to sell a gold ring." ”

Zhou Xiaoliu took out the gold ring from his jacket pocket and handed it directly to Lao Liu.

Zhou Peng was a little anxious, afraid that Lao Liu would snatch the gold ring and not recognize it, so he stretched out his hand to take it back, but Zhou Xiaoliu stopped him and said, "He won't." Even if she could, she was not afraid, if Lao Liu dared to swallow her things, she would go to his ancestral grave to draw an exorcism charm, so that his ancestors could not return to "home".

"Where did it come from?" asked Lao Liu Shunzui.

Zhou Xiaoliu glanced at him calmly and said, "Anyway, it's not stealing and robbing, the gold shop collects gold and silver, doesn't it never ask where it comes?"

When Lao Liu heard this, his hand paused, then he shook his head and chuckled, put the gold ring on the scale, and then pointed to the scale on the scale and said to Zhou Xiaoliu: "It's exactly 5 grams, the general recycling price is 50 yuan a gram, you have a high purity, I'll give you 58 yuan, a total of 290 yuan, are you sure you want to recycle?"

When Zhou Peng heard this, he intuitively shook his head, this 90 and 58 are too different!

Zhou Xiaoliu had heard that the recycling price of gold is generally six to seven percent off the selling price, Lao Liu is not black, but she is very short of money, she can sell one more piece is a piece, she counted with her fingers, and then said: "Add more, 315 yuan, and the transaction will be completed." ”

When Lao Liu heard this, yo, it's exactly seven folds, can this kid still count? He couldn't help but look Zhou Xiaoliu up and down. Then, he opened the drawer containing the money, counted out 315 yuan, and handed it to Zhou Xiaoliu.

Zhou Xiaoliu took the money and put it in two places, but she was glad in her heart, fortunately Lao Liu was not greedy, and the money was safely in hand, otherwise she would have to make another trip.

Zhou Peng stepped out of the threshold of Liu Ji's gold shop, pulled her sleeve, and asked, "Five or five points?" He seems to have heard someone say such a sentence, called "Half of the meeting".

Zhou Xiaoliu turned around and stood facing him, looking straight at him without speaking.

Zhou Peng was a little embarrassed by her, and whispered: "Three or seven points?" So much money, even if Zhou's mother hurt him again, she never gave him more than 2 yuan at one time.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoliu still didn't speak, he rubbed his toes on the ground back and forth, and no longer looked directly at Zhou Xiaoliu: "Or, give me 50 yuan?"
