049 Hitchhiking
Since the last time he went to the town to get familiar with the terrain, Tian Sangsang was really reluctant to Meng Shuyan, so he took him with him when he went to the town this time. Originally, I only thought that I could sit on the ground and rest all the time when I got to the town, but the transportation was inconvenient, and I was really tired from the journey, so I walked less than halfway, and the sun was getting bigger. Tian Sangsang took out a simple hat from the space and put it on Meng Shuyan, but the little guy was still so hot that his little face was white and red.
"Yanyan, mom hugs you. The lo-mei in his hand was packed in a clay pot and placed in a bamboo basket, Tian Sangsang held it in one hand, and wanted to pick him up with the other.
"Mom has been working hard, I can walk on my own. Meng Shuyan shook his head firmly.
As he spoke, he heard the familiar sound of a cow, and Li Zhengxiong's ox cart had stopped beside him.
"Sangsang, you're going to town again, get in the car, I'll give you a ride." Li Zhengxiong sat in front and said enthusiastically, his voice deep.
Originally, I didn't want to take a car, but when I looked at my son, he was white and tender, and I was really afraid that I would be tired. Tian Sangsang was happy and embarrassed: "Yes, go to town." Brother Li, then I'm sorry for you, always take your car. ”
Carried Meng Shuyan into the empty ox cart, put the basket on the board, and Tian Sangsang climbed up.
"Sangsang, you are still so polite. It's nothing, it's a coincidence......" The voice suddenly stopped, Li Zhengxiong seemed to have just noticed the small lump of pink, the hand holding the whip tightened, and quickly looked away, and quietly glanced at it uncontrollably.
"Uncle Li, thank you for taking my mother and me to town. Meng Shuyan pursed his lips and said. Although this Uncle Li is very strange and always looks at him secretly, he is grateful that his uncle is willing to help at this time.
It's such a small one, so cute!
"Words, words, nothing, sensei, polite. Li Zhengxiong stammered, his ears red.
Meng Shuyan's eyes narrowed, and in the face of his hot gaze, he lowered his head a little shyly, but he couldn't help but look up at him. Mom was right, I didn't look at him, how do I know he's looking at me.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Tian Sangsang was extremely depressed, so he had to take the initiative to find words: "Brother Li, what are you going to do in the town?"
"I work part-time in town. Li Zhengxiong took his eyes off Meng Shuyan, and finally became less restrained, "Sangsang, are you again?"
"I made some lo-mei myself, and I plan to sell it in the town to earn some money and support my family. Tian Sangsang said with a smile.
Li Zhengxiong suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up, "The pig you sent last time went into the water, it's strange and delicious, and my mother and I love to eat it." My mom bought some of them herself, and they don't taste as good as yours. What's this lo-mei, what are you doing?"
"It's just some chicken legs, chicken wings, duck feet, duck necks, pig's trotters...... Although these things are cheap and troublesome to eat, the taste of the marinated is better than that of pigs. ”
"Sangsang, why are you selling this? How much is a pound? I will also buy some with you, I love to eat the things you make!" Li Zhengxiong said boldly. The people in their village are not so particular about eating, but Sangsang's hands are skillful, and they love to eat every time they get something. He was a big man, and although he often hunted some game, he really didn't have a pair of skillful hands.
The pork in the town is seven cents and five to nine pounds, and Tian Sangsang plans to follow the price of pork in the town for these lo-mei. After all, although the cost of hooves, legs and wings is relatively cheap, the materials used in the marinade are not easy to find, and it is not easy to get them together in the space. Scarcity is precious, that's the truth. Even if hers is seven cents and five cents a catty, the cheapest price is seven cents, and it can't be lower.
"Brother Li, you are polite with me, what do you want to eat, just say it, no money. Tian Sangsang is worried that he can't repay the favor of hitchhiking this time, and now is not an opportunity. It's good to owe anything, but it's not good to owe favors. She lowered her head and opened the crockpot, her face full of smiles: "You wait, I'll pick some for you." ”
"What's going on, I can't take advantage of you!" Li Zhengxiong hurriedly turned back, people work hard to make it and sell it, and it makes a lot of sense if you don't pay. But as soon as he turned around, he saw the gentle smile on her black face, and the smell of spices in the crockpot also penetrated the tip of his nose, and Li Zhengxiong's face suddenly turned red.
"No, no, no. ”
Tian Sangsang neatly picked two of each lo-mei for him, and there were more than 20 large and small, and put them in a clean bag and hung them on the nails of the vertical wooden board.
Seeing him blushing again, Tian Sangsang couldn't help but feel funny, it was really not the first time he had blushed when he saw him.
Meng Shuyan seemed to have seen something strange and stared at him directly.
The eyes of the mother and son made Li Zhengxiong turn his red face back, and he breathed a few sighs of relief before Li Zhengxiong said: "Every time I go to the town except Saturday and Sunday, I have to go to the town for a few hours of short-term work, if you go to the town in the future, take my car." ”
Tian Sangsang thought for a while in his heart and said, "It just so happens that I also go to town on Mondays and Fridays, how much does it cost to take a car, Brother Li, you can calculate the price for me." ”
"What's going on, let's go to one place, how can I still collect money from you. Li Zhengxiong said urgently. is obviously helping their mother and son, and talking about money hurts their feelings.
"Brother Li, you have to collect this money. Do you think, if you take me every day and don't charge for it, what will people think when they see me? When they see me taking a ride, they will definitely want to take your car, and it will be troublesome to come and go. It's better to set a price at the beginning, Brother Li, you can also have an extra income. ”
Li Zhengxiong was honest, but he still shook his head: "This is not good, the villagers in the same village, the big guy is not easy, I can carry it if I can, otherwise it will be an opportunity to take advantage of others." ”
"Brother Li, why didn't you do anything, you contributed strength, and besides, the cow belongs to your family, and the car is also your family. If you go to the county town to take a bus, you still have to pay for it, so how can you not give money for a ride? Besides, there are many people who come to take a bus, and if you can't take it, who can you carry, Brother Li? If you feel that you don't want to go, you can not take money from the elderly and children, and you must make it clear about the rest. In this way, the price is clearly marked, and everyone can have a rule and know each other. ”
Li Zhengxiong understood it, and he couldn't refute it in a word, "Sangsang, what you said is reasonable." He also remembered some things when he was rushing to the street in the past, and there were indeed more people, and he was not happy to carry this side, and he was not happy to carry that side, and he couldn't wait to take the big guys away.
He had been sending Tian Sangsang's mother and son to the town, and glanced at Meng Shuyan, who was not even on his knees on the ground, for fear of being discovered, Li Zhengxiong immediately raised his head and said to Tian Sangsang: "I finish my short-term work at two o'clock in the afternoon every day, and I come here to find you, you follow me back along the way, and you don't have to walk again." ”
