Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Heart-Warming Xiao Chu

Xia Qinghe also felt a pain when she heard this, if it weren't for the fact that she had promised Zhu Xiaochang to invite Zhu Xiaochang to eat steamed buns, if she didn't want Zhu Xiaochang to help her do things in the future, she wouldn't be so generous, it's not easy to make money.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, pretending to be free and easy: "If you want to eat steamed buns, you have to help me do things, remember the yam you carried today, a total of fifty yuan was sold for enough money for you to eat ten buns, but you have to work hard to dig yams, how about you take a hoe and go up the mountain with me to find yams tomorrow." ”

In Zhu Xiaochang's concept, the yam is definitely not as important as the buns, he didn't expect that those yams could be exchanged for buns, it is good to eat buns, it would be better if he could eat buns every day, and suddenly patted his chest with enthusiasm and said: "Qinghe, don't worry, I will follow you up the mountain to dig yams when I go back." ”

Looking at Zhu Xiaochang's confident appearance, Xia Qinghe felt that it was not so painful, and only then did he feel that the dozens of dollars he spent were not spent in vain.

Xia Qinghe had the heart to look at the shops on both sides of the street, although the town is small but full of organs, this kind of remote town has no city walls, except for two streets that look a little more orderly, other places look chaotic.

There are only sweet potatoes and no other food at home, so you have to buy rice, oil, and eggs.

She didn't plan to use the broken silver, it had to be saved, and when she walked into the rice shop, she almost drooled when she saw the white flowers in the sack year, thinking of the sweet taste of the rice she used to eat, she never felt that the rice was so delicious.

Swallowing her saliva, she raised her head, but saw the shopkeeper of the rice shop looking at her with strange eyes.

Well, she did look a little embarrassed just now.

She pointed to the white rice and said, "How much is this a catty?" ”

The shopkeeper did not answer, but glanced at Xia Qinghe with disdain, from top to bottom, he felt that Xia Qinghe would definitely not be able to afford rice.

Xia Qinghe was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the shopkeeper, but when he thought that he was a guest, he was angry when he was looked at like this, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "How much is this a catty." ”

The second shopkeeper is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and there is nothing special about his ordinary appearance, but his eyes are full of disdain and disdain for Xia Qinghe.

Xia Qinghe was a little annoyed, the attitude of the shopkeeper was really bad.

"Can you afford to sell it? This is a high-quality fragrant rice for 20 yuan a catty, and there are corn for 8 yuan a catty over there. ”

The shopkeeper's words were full of arrogance.

Xia Qinghe glanced at the shopkeeper and didn't bother with the shopkeeper, but secretly thought that the buns he ate just now were really too expensive, and it would cost five cents for one piece, and now it hurts a little to think about it.

Twenty pounds of pounds, she frowned and thought for a while: "Bring me a pound of fragrant rice, and then five pounds of corn." "She really wants to eat white rice, so let's be willful, so let's make her five internal organs temple comfortable first.

The shopkeeper didn't believe it when he heard that Xia Qinghe wanted to buy it, and when he saw Xia Qinghe's dress, he knew that he was a girl from a poor family, and a girl from a poor family could be ruthless to buy this fragrant rice? He couldn't help but remind: "Don't be angry, if your family knows that you spent so much money to buy this rice, maybe how you will be smoked, I tell you, the rice we sell here will not be returned." ”

Xia Qinghe felt that the shopkeeper was too impatient, and urged: "If you call you what to do, it's not that you don't give you money." ”

Six catties of grain should be enough for three days, and when the time comes, fragrant rice and thin porridge will also be fragrant, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that she should do this.

The sixty yuan was gone, Xia Qinghe thought about the remaining ten yuan and decided to buy a few yuan of salt, and then buy a little oil by the way.

After buying all the things, she had nothing left on her, and the broken silver could not be spent, so she took Zhu Xiaochang back with some unfinished business.

The bazaar had dispersed, and a few people were walking in the streets, and she had planned to buy some meat, but now she had no money to buy it.

I wanted to go back along the river, but I didn't go far before I saw Xiao Chu sitting on the bow of the boat fishing for fish.

She was overjoyed in her heart and hurriedly ran up with Zhu Xiaochang: "Xiao Chu." ”

Xiao Chu, who was fishing, "shh

Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang were quiet, and walked over slowly, but they happened to see the float drifting, Xiao Chu put away the fishing rod, and a fish the size of a three finger was pulled up, Xiao Chu's movements were very fast, and the fish was put directly into the fish basket.

Xia Qinghe smiled and hurriedly took out the buns she bought from her back basket, she didn't delay much time to buy things, but now the buns are still a little hot, she handed them to Xiao Chu and said, "Eat the buns I bought for you while they're hot." ”

Xiao Chu was a little surprised, raised his head and glanced at Xia Qinghe, then looked at the bun in Xia Qinghe's hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "This bun is not cheap, you really bought it for me?" ”

Xia Qinghe and Xiao Chu have been together for a long time, she has long regarded Xiao Chu as a friend, and said to Xiao Chu's arms: "If I didn't buy it for you, who else can I sell it to, don't say it's expensive or not, the rabbit meat and pheasants you hunt on weekdays are not cheap, aren't you still giving it to me?" ”

She felt that Xiao Chu was too polite, and she had long regarded Xiao Chu as a friend, and she didn't want Xiao Chu to be so polite at all.

Xiao Chule smiled: "Okay, I won't be polite to you, let's get on the boat and go home." ”

Xia Qinghe was surprised, could it be that Xiao Chu was waiting for them here?

"Didn't you go back?"

Xiao Chu gnawed on the bun and said vaguely: "Anyway, what's the matter, so I'm fishing here, you hurry up and get on the boat, I still have to do business, and the people in the village estimate that they are almost on the opposite side of the village." ”

Xia Qinghe's heart was warm, and she hurriedly shouted at Zhu Xiaochang to get on the boat, and Xia Qinghe sat in the middle of the boat as soon as she put the basket on her back, she was in a very good mood, and told Xiao Chu about what she encountered today: "I thought that herbs and yams couldn't be sold, but I turned out to be lucky, now I really think that there are still many good people in the world, such as you, for example, the shopkeeper Liao and the shopkeeper Yao who met today are all good people." ”

Xiao Chu had a faint smile, he had been very happy in the last few days, and even the people in the village were saying that the smiles on his face were getting more and more.

Listening to Xia Qinghe happily talking, he was also happy for Xia Qinghe.

Zhu Xiaochang was very sleepy, and he fell asleep in a daze when he got on the boat, and this baby has a big heart, and he is not afraid of any accidents falling into the water.

Xiao Chu was very interested in what Xia Qinghe said, and said suspiciously: "I haven't heard you say that there is such a thing as cold powder before, are you sure you will do it?" ”
