Chapter 53: Buy, Buy, Buy
Li Xia wanted to help Xia Zhi with some money, such as helping Xia Zhi buy these papers, pens and books. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But he instinctively felt that if he did this, he was afraid that he would be hated immediately, and he would never be able to be good friends with Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish from now on.
Still, he wanted to help.
"Sixteen, if you like books like this, I have a few more. Li Xia handed the book back to Xia Zhi and accompanied her to the counter to pay.
"Oh?" Xia Solstice depends on Li Xia.
"I still have a lot of county chronicles and government chronicles, which you can't buy in the shops outside. Well, you see, I can lend it to you. Looking at Xia Zhi's face, Li Xia originally wanted to say that he would give it to her, but in the end he changed it to borrow.
"Really?" Xia Zhi's eyes widened slightly, "Li Xia, you have to talk and count!"
"Of course. Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief and became happy. "You can't get the book dirty and torn, though. ”
"Do you still need to say this, if you are willing to lend me books, I will definitely cherish it very much. Xia Zhi happily replied, and then turned back to pay the shopkeeper.
An old local chronicle, plus pen and paper, is a total of nine dollars and eight cents of silver. It's really expensive! She still picks the best quality and cheapest! The summer solstice meeting really understands why many families can't afford to provide for a scholar. Not to mention the restraints, it is the usual consumables, which are difficult for ordinary people to supply.
However, it is not distressing at all to spend this money on the summer solstice. Although it is expensive, it is worth the money, and these things are enough for her to use for a while.
In fact, she didn't have to buy so much at once, she was really worried that if the Tian family came back, even if she had money in her hand, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy it so casually.
After all the money was paid, the guys in the store helped Xia Zhi pack things, and Xia Zhi found another problem.
These things are pretty heavy!
But in the basket, she still carried it. After years of labor, the thin summer solstice has a lot of strength.
A large hand reached over and took the basket from Summer Solstice's hand. Li Xia smiled and carried the basket for Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi was still worried about him: "Li Xia, you can carry it, don't force it." ”
Although Li Xia is dressed quite low-key, Xia Zhi will not treat him as a poor person. He is not poor, he should still be rich. A rich second generation, who doesn't carry a basket in his hands and shoulders and doesn't carry burdens, can he carry these things.
Li Xia carried the basket with a relaxed expression. "Don't look down on me. It's nothing, I think it's lightweight. ”
Xia Zhi looked at him carefully and saw that he was indeed not reluctant, so he relaxed slightly. "Li Xia, if you're tired, squeak. I'm swapping it with you. "She doesn't treat Li Xia as an outsider anymore.
Li Xia was very happy, and happily accompanied his uncle and nephew out of the pen and paper shop. Xia Zhi entered the cloth shop again. With the money she has left in her hand now, it is barely enough to buy a full yard, but Xia Zhi is very good at planning.
There are large and small cloth heads sold in the cloth shop, and if they are used together, they are quite economical. As soon as Xia Solstice entered the store, he went straight to Butou.
A large red banana cloth should be just enough to make a belly pocket for the little black fish. There is another piece of bright blue fine silk and an old blue brocade, which should be enough to make a handkerchief for herself and Mrs. Xia, and she picked three pieces of natural Songjiang muslin, which should be enough to make a close-fitting little dress for her and Sister Lanzi. Add three more pieces of green cloth and cut them well, which should be enough to make five or six pairs of uppers, just for Old Man Xia, Old Mrs. Xia, Little Black Fish, and Daqiao and Little Tree each have a pair, and there is still a surplus......
"Li Xia, I'll make you a pair of shoes too. Xia Zhi suddenly said to Li Xia.
Because he has been with Xia Solstice, he heard Xia Solstice's whispering. It turned out that Xia Zhi also planned his share. Li Xia paused.
"However, I only make cloth shoes. Xia Solstice said again.
"Good. Li Xia smiled and nodded, "Cloth shoes are comfortable, I like cloth shoes." Is it a mille-feuille?"
He is so refreshing, not only does the little black fish feel that he has the right temper, but he also likes it on the summer solstice.
"Surely I can't fool you. ”
Xia Zhi told the shopkeeper about the price, and finally paid 350 cents. The shopkeeper also brought a lot of palm-sized cloths, all of which were given to Xia Solstice for nothing.
Happily coming out of the cloth shop, Xia Zhi pinched the money in the money bag and walked into the market. Two roast chickens, a packet of sugar cubes, and a packet of mixed mixes...... , Xia Zhi bought it piecemeal, and finally spent all the money in his hand, including the ten big money given by Old Man Xia. The baskets were also full. In order to reduce Li Xia's burden, Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer both carried things in their hands, and also hung a few bags around Daqing's neck.
"Sixteen, you're pretty good at buying things. Li Xia deliberately exhaled and said in an exaggerated tone,
"It's all the money I and Sixteen earned today. The little black fish was honored, and then asked Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, did you spend all the money?"
"It's all spent. Xia Solstice shook the empty money bag in his hand. She sold flowers and cherries today, and made a total of five dollars of silver, nine hundred and seventy-eight dollars, adding up to nearly one or two halves of silver. After buying something, I don't have a penny left in my hand. In her current situation, she can't keep money in her hands, although she actually has a sense of saving and a habit of saving.
The sun has gradually set in the west, and the people in the market are gradually decreasing. Xia Zhi knew that it was time for them to go back. Li Xia knew that their car was waiting at the east end of the market, so he said that he would send them there.
"Li Xia, if you don't send us. Xia Zhi glanced behind Li Xia.
Li Xia accompanied them for a long time, and his family sent two groups of servants to look for him, but Li Xia sent them away. In the end, another wave came, although Li Xia was not called away, but he did not leave. Because Li Xia didn't let them get close, they didn't follow far behind.
"It's okay, I'll go back after sending you off. I didn't bother to go back, a group of women were chattering and annoying. ”
In the end, Li Xia still carried the basket and sent Xia Solstice and the little black fish to the east of the market.
Xia Lao Liu and Xia Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's baskets have been sold out, and the two of them are setting up the car and moving the things they bought to the car. Li Xia saw that these were people from the same village as the two children, so he left with confidence.
Xia Lao Liu and his daughter-in-law set up the car, and Old Man Xia was late.
Seeing that Xia Zhi and the little black fish were there, Old Man Xia was very happy, and when he saw the big bags and small bags of things that the two of them bought, the corners of Old Man Xia's mouth twitched.
"You bought all of this?" asked Old Man Xia hesitantly.
"Hmm. Xia Zhi and the little black fish both nodded, and Xia Zhi also said to Old Man Xia, "It's all the money we use to sell flowers and cherries." Master, I also spent all the ten money you gave. ”
Old Man Xia didn't know what to say.
