"Say thank you, didn't you say that Hui'er and Feng'an are here to accompany me." Chunquan asked with a smile.

"Thank you too." Shumin said, "I'll invite you to dinner in a moment." ”

"What to eat? Let's go straight home. You've been away for so long, you must be homesick. Chunquan didn't want her to spend a lot of time, and he was willing to take care of Hui'er.

"yes, how's my new house going? If I fail to pass the acceptance, I won't let you go! Shu Min was very happy at the thought of being able to move into a new home soon, and his smile was bright.

Chunquan was a little stunned, and felt that after Shumin came back this time, the whole person was different from before. It's no wonder that it is said that there is something in the eyes of the lover. He has a different affection for her, and his natural vision is different from before.

"It will definitely satisfy you, but the new house is completed, and some things should be added to the house, and I will help you set up the furniture and everything, but you have to buy the bedding and the like yourself."

"Really? Then let's get out of the house. When she heard that Chunquan had even helped her set up the furniture, Shumin was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Hui'er and beckoned Chunquan to accompany her.

She didn't see what the new home was like, so she had to ask Chunquan's opinion.

Although Shumin was not short of money, he gave Chun Quan fifty taels to build a house, as well as fifty taels for Hui'er to redeem herself, and the family's silver was almost spent.

The money earned from tofu and other things is now recorded in the accounts, and there are people in charge of money in the village. Shumin is also not easy to mess with. After all, the tofu business in the village has just emerged, and there are actually many places to spend money.

Although the moldy tofu business is not in the village now, it is also her and her aunt. Zhengxing's daughter-in-law did it together, and she couldn't dispose of the silver at will. So there are only a few taels that Shu Min can control.

"I didn't expect to be short of silver again." Bought a whole bunch of stuff. The taels of silver in Shumin's hand also began to shrink.

Chunquan hired an ox cart to bring the quilts that Shumin had bought. Pots and pans, clothes and fabrics were loaded onto the cart, and the cart was filled to the brim.

"You've bought clothes, what are you doing with so much fabric?" Looking at the car full of things, Chunquan said speechlessly.

"Make clothes. The azure piece is for you. Thank you for helping me build the house and for taking care of Hui'er for this time. Shumin smiled brightly at him, this time when he returned home, he had to make a sewing machine.

Chunquan sweated a little, he had seen her craftsmanship in Hui'er, if the clothes were worn on himself, forget it.

"That's pretty good. Don't waste it. Chunquan said.

"It's not wasted, isn't it just a muslin cloth, and it doesn't cost much silver." Shu Min thought that he said not to waste that the cloth was too good, and quickly replied.

Chunquan was silent, he was struggling, when the clothes were ready, would he wear them? Or don't you wear it well? Or wear it underneath? Outside in a kit coat?

"It's noon, let's go to the Drunken Wind Building for dinner." Upstairs she had eaten yesterday, but she had never been there yet. So Tiyì said.

There is food. No one is against it. Although Shumin doesn't have much money, she is not worried about such a big business now.

People, always be kind to yourself.

The Drunken Wind Building is a street away. Chunquan paid ten cents and asked the people who drove the ox cart to find a place to eat by themselves, and then went to the intersection to wait for them. They walked happily towards the Drunken Wind Building.

"Yuntai Yunkang may also be in the Drunken Wind Building!" Chunquan said. The bearded man was very familiar with the shopkeeper of the drunken wind building, and he put the two brothers at the shopkeeper Zhang before leaving.

"Great, I can finally see the second and third brothers again." Feng An said excitedly. Hui'er also smiled and nodded. She also wanted to meet her second and third brothers.

I heard the children call the two bear children like that. Chunquan's face changed again. The bear child is his senior brother, and he is a sworn brother with Feng An Hui'er. Isn't he the same generation as Feng An Hui'er? Isn't that Shumin his own elder?

He suddenly felt a chill in his back, and quickly drove the thought out. It's just a child's house. Don't take it seriously!

"Hey, there's a lot of people in front of you. Let's squeeze over and take a look. Feng An led Hui'er to walk in front, and when he saw that there were many onlookers in front of him, he immediately ran over to join in the fun.

It was too late for Shumin to shout to stop him, so he had to squeeze in closely. Chunquan saw that people were afraid that something would happen to them, so he followed them closely.

There were two sisters and brothers kneeling in the open space in front, the elder sister Mo was about eleven or twelve years old, Wenwen was weak, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, the cotton jacket could not be seen what color it was, but it was quite clean. The younger brother is about the same grade as Hui'er, with a frostbitten flush on his face, sad eyes, and a low head to look at the onlookers.

The children had grass on their heads, and a sign in front of them was written crookedly: Sell yourself to bury your father!

"Oh, it's so pitiful, I didn't have a father at such a young age." A man beside Shumin shook his head and sighed, he was really sympathetic, but judging from what he was wearing, he was only weak.

"That girl is okay, that kid is too young, and he has to keep it when he buys it back!" Another man next to him looked at the girl carefully, but there was a lewd light in his eyes, and Shumin was disgusted when he saw it.

"This little girl pouted, and she had to buy it together before she was willing to do it, saying that she was not far away from her brother."

"We also have big families in Linjiang Town, but what can such a young child do when he buys it back? Who wants a master who can only eat and not work! ”

People talked about it, some praised the girl's filial piety, and some commented on them, as if they were weighing whether it was worth buying, and so on.

Although the girl kept her head down and did not say a word, her tears never stopped, not only worried that no one would buy it and she would not be able to bury her father, but also worried that after being sold, her younger brother would worry about her future.

"Uncle, do you know the details of the two of them?" Shumin asked the man next to him, he felt sorry for the two children.

"It's not very clear, they seem to have come from the north, supposedly to find people. It's a pity that their father was sick and spent all his money, and in the end he couldn't hold on and left, alas he left these two and a half children! "He's a vendor in the neighborhood, and he's heard about his sister and brother.

"So pathetic?" After hearing this, Shumin couldn't help but worry about these two children.

"Not really!" The man sighed again.

"Mother, they are so pitiful." Hui'er also turned her head and said to Shumin. Shumin touched his head and wanted to come forward to ask, but she didn't have much money on her, so she wanted to ask Chunquan how much silver she had brought, but when she turned around, she found that Chunquan didn't know where she went.

"Let's go, let's go!" Suddenly, several men dressed as strong thugs appeared, very rudely pushing through the crowd and opening a path.

A woman dressed in fancy clothes and thick rouge walked over with her waist twisted. Her appearance is not ugly, but she is panicked.

"Tut, sell yourself to bury your father. It's an old routine. But this mama has a good heart, so I can accept it reluctantly, little girl, raise my little face and take a look. ”

The little girl raised her head timidly, although she didn't know who the other party was, but they knelt for most of the day, and this was the first person to say that she wanted to buy them.

"I have to buy my brother and sister together, otherwise I won't sell it." The little girl looked at this flowery woman and felt a little uneasy.

"The little face is also delicate." The woman looked at the little girl carefully, glanced at her younger brother casually, and said, "It's okay, although it's smaller, it's okay to raise it for a few years and be a chores." ”

The main thing is that she sees that the little girl is looking good, and after two years, when she is completely open, she is definitely a beauty, and she can earn a lot of money for her, even now she is not at a loss, she has a lot of things in Wanhualou, and such a big child can work.

As for the little boy, she also has a plan, in short, she spends a lot of money and will not do a loss-making business.

"Oh, what a sin. A good girl is going to that kind of place. The man next to Shumin shook his head, he was still looking forward to these two children being bought by kind-hearted people, who knew that after waiting for a long time, it turned out to be Wanhualou.

"What does she do?" Shu Min had a faint answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Brothel!" Before the man could reply, another person on the side rushed to say, "A place dedicated to pleasing men." Many people in the crowd made regretful voices, and some people also secretly condemned Wanhualou for doing some immoral things.

"We don't sell." The little girl replied timidly. She heard the whispers in the crowd and guessed what kind of place the Wanhua Building was.

"Not for sale? Hmph, if you don't sell it, you have to sell it, you should be a vegetarian. As soon as she waved her hand, the two thugs immediately stepped forward and dragged the little girl. When the little boy saw that someone was going to bully his sister, he couldn't care less about kneeling, so he quickly got up and hugged his sister to prevent her from being dragged away.

"Xiaobao, go away, don't hurt my brother." The thug went to pull people, and the little boy came to make trouble, and one of the thugs got angry and rudely pushed the little boy away, and the little boy did not stand firmly, and rolled on the ground twice with a grunt.

But he was not discouraged, got up again, stepped forward and hugged the leg of a thug, and opened his mouth to go down.

"Ahh

"Stop!" Seeing that they were forcibly pulling people on the street, Shumin couldn't care so much, and told Feng An to take a good look at his sister, so he stood up. (To be continued.) )
