Hearing this, Xu Xiangwan already understood that it was true that he was sold, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and his heart was also cold. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although she is not a male baby, she is also the blood of the Xu family in the end.

These so-called relatives even want to sell her for money, just like a pig raised in a seller!

Xu Xiangwan felt that he couldn't sit still.

"Little girl, little girl?" Huang Butcher said, and suddenly found that the little girl in front of him had a very ugly face, and her eyes were also dumbfounded, so she was shocked, and hurriedly stopped talking, and shook her rough and greasy hand in front of Xu Xiangwan.

Xu Xiangwan woke up like a dream.

"Uncle Huang, I'm fine. You just said it so well, I was fascinated by it, there really is such a black-hearted person. Xu Xiangwan retracted his mind and smiled reluctantly, "Uncle, what you said is really scary, I have to weigh the bones and go home quickly." ”

Huang Butcher breathed a sigh of relief, such a small girl, don't be scared out, otherwise she won't be able to get out of it. So I secretly reminded myself in my heart that in the future, I have to look at the object and look at things, and don't talk about anything and everyone.

"It's all my fault. The yellow butcher grinned, quickly weighed the two big bones taken out and tied them with straw ropes, and continued, "The two big bones are three and a half catties, and I will give three pennies." Seeing that you have been chatting with my uncle for so long, I will give you a little more attention. ”

After speaking, Butcher Huang really put on the two pork kidneys and a small half-catty of pork liver on the table with straw rope and handed them to Xu Xiangwan together.

Huang Butcher did not bully Xu Xiangwan because she was a little girl, on the contrary, he gave her a lot of discounts.

The meat and bones here of the Yellow Butcher are generally sold for two cents a catty, and the bones without meat are added to the head, although there is not much meat on this big bone, but in the end there is still some meat, and these two bones can be sold for four cents when you want to put it aside. What's more, two pork kidneys and a small half catty of pork liver can be worth a penny or two.

Don't underestimate this article, ordinary Zhuang households are busy all year round, and if they have a good life, they can have a surplus of four or five taels of silver, and if they want to have a hard time, it is good if they don't owe foreign debts for a year.

For the generosity of the Yellow Butcher, Xu Xiangwan was also very grateful in his heart, and thanked the Yellow Butcher again and again when he took the things.

"Little girl, you buy things and hurry home, don't stay on the road, the county next door is in a famine, I heard that there are still rogues in some places, and the days are not peaceful!" Before leaving, Huang Butcher kindly instructed Xu Xiangwan again.

Xu Xiangwan smiled gratefully: "Okay, thank you, uncle, you are really a good person!"

After speaking, he carried his things and said goodbye to the Yellow Butcher.

After buying the bones, there were still seven cents left, and Xu Xiangwan took out two more cents and prepared to go to Rendetang to buy some wolfberries.

Due to Xu Xiang's young age, he could only do some light work, and the Xu family often took her to help look at the goods and carry things when they went to the scene.

Therefore, Xu Xiangwan is very familiar with Guojiazhen.

Yan De Tang is located diagonally opposite Chunfeng Restaurant, at the intersection of Longsheng Street.

The storefront of Rendetang is not large, and there is a door on the left side of the back wall, which is covered with a curtain, and this door leads to the backyard.

There is a wooden head case on the left side of the door, an armchair behind the case, and a drum embroidered pier in front of the case. This is the place where the patient is given a pulse check in the hall. The sitting hall of Rendetang is Ye Langzhong, and he is the best Langzhong in Guojiazhen. Ye Langzhong only sat in the Dao Rende Hall in the morning.

On the right is a large counter, behind which is a two-walled medicine cabinet at the same height as the wall.

On the counter sat a fat old man with a white beard, who was now fiddling an abacus.

Behind the counter, a young man was sitting on a small stool and napping against the medicine cabinet.

Seeing someone enter the door, the fat old man raised his head and asked with a smile, "The little girl came to grab the medicine?"

Guojia Town is a small town, and the surrounding people live in some croppers, and most of the children of the croppers are sensible early, and they will help the family at a very young age.

There are many children like Xu Xiangwan who come out to buy things for the family at the age of five or six, so the fat old man is not surprised.

"Hello Uncle Shopkeeper. I want to weigh some goji berries home. Xu Xiangwan stood in front of the counter, which was taller than her, and raised her head with a smile.

The fat old man is the shopkeeper of Rendetang, who is kind and kind, Tong Su is not bullied, and he never lacks catties and shortages.

"How many wolfberries does the little girl plan to weigh?" Shopkeeper Shen did not treat differently because she was a little girl in tattered clothes in front of her, and still had a kind smile.

"I don't know how much wolfberries cost a catty?" Xu Xiangwan said.

Shopkeeper Shen said with a smile: "The wolfberries of our Rendetang are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the high-grade wolfberries cost fifty wen a catty, the medium one forty-five wen a catty, and the inferior ones only cost forty wen a catty. What kind of girl does she want?"

Hearing the price of wolfberries, Xu Xiangwan's heart moved, and the fiery red valley in the back mountain suddenly appeared in his mind.

That's goji berries!

Xu Xiangwan didn't know what it was before, but she had encountered it when she went to the back mountain to pick up dry branches, but now that she thought about it, she suddenly understood.

"Uncle shopkeeper, I don't buy much, so I weigh two pennies in the inferior price. Xu Xiangwan thought about it and said.

Goji berries are naturally the best for the best medicinal effect, but if they are used to make soup, the inferior wolfberries are also enough, Xu Xiangwan naturally thought of it in his mind.

"Okay. At this time, the young man also woke up, and when he heard Xu Xiangwan say that he wanted to weigh two pennies of wolfberries, he quickly took a small scale, grabbed a handful of wolfberries from the medicine cabinet and put them in the weighing pan, "It's just five pennies of wolfberries! ”

After speaking, he opened the medicine cabinet again, grabbed a few wolfberries from it and threw them in, and the scale rod was warped.

This is the rule of Rendetang, saying that the medicine must be weighed and prosperous, that is, the amount is sufficient.

The young man wrapped the wolfberry into a medicine bag and handed it to Xu Xiangwan.

Xu Xiangwan handed over the prepared two pennies to the shopkeeper Shen, and asked as if casually: "Uncle shopkeeper, I don't know if Rendetang accepts wolfberries?"

Shopkeeper Shen didn't expect Xu Xiangwan to ask such a question, raised his head and looked at Xu Xiangwan again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you still know wolfberries?"

Xu Xiangwan nodded, and shook his head again: "I seem to have seen it, but I don't know if it's a wolfberry, I'll pick it for you to show Uncle in two days?"

Although the shopkeeper Shen was kind, Xu Xiangwan still did not forget that she was just a six-year-old country girl, and she naturally would not say that she knew this kind of medicinal material that was not common in the countryside.

"Okay. If it's really a wolfberry, I'll help you ask my young owner. Although Shopkeeper Shen is kind, he will not believe the words of a little girl casually, but he still happily replied to Xu Xiangwan.

Xu Xiangwan naturally saw that Shopkeeper Shen was a little perfunctory, but she was not in a hurry, if she remembered correctly, the wolfberries in the ravine behind her grew really well, and when the time came, pick a little and show Shopkeeper Shen to know that she was not joking.

After buying wolfberries, Xu Xiangwan went back to Xujia Village along the official road.

Most of the farmlands on both sides of the official road are farmland, and there are many people in the fields harvesting rice, so the way back is smooth.

By the time we arrived at the entrance of Xujia Village, the sun had already set in the west.

The golden rice fields reflect the red glow on the horizon, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

Xu Xiangwan originally planned to go to the mountains to have a look, but looking at the sky, he still planned to take time to go up the mountain tomorrow.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the rice field next to the official road of Xu's house.

The rice in the field has been almost cut, there are bundles of rice in the field, Goro and Erlang are still burying their heads in cutting the last piece of rice, and the old man Xu takes Xu Zhili and Xu Zhibao to carry the bundled rice to the board car on the shore.

These rice grains should be transported home to the drying dam to beat the rice grains, and after they are beaten, they will be dried, and then the dust, empty shells and rice leaves will be blown away by a windmill, so that they can be stored in the warehouse and will not sprout and rot.

"Ah Gong, when will you call it a day?" Xu Xiangwan greeted loudly.

Only then did Old Man Xu see Xu Xiangwan standing on the side of the road.

"We're coming back late? We'll go back after we harvest the rice. It's getting late, you hurry back to the house!" Old Man Xu beckoned to Xu Xiangwan, and after speaking, he buried his head and picked up a bundle of rice in one hand and went to the shore.

Xu Xiangwan carried his things and went home along the gravel road. Xiao Jiu was standing at the intersection and looking at the official road, and when he saw Xu Xiangwan, he immediately opened his arms, ran over, and threw himself into Xu Xiangwan's arms: "Sister, you are back! I have been waiting for you for a while, if it weren't for the eldest sister not letting me go to the official road, I would have gone to the official road to find you." ”

Xu Xiangwan was also very happy to see Xiao Jiu, and took Xiao Jiu's little hand and went home together.

Back home, smoke had risen from the chimney.

Xu Xiangwan went back to the east wing to take a look, but saw that Zhang was still lying on the bed, showing no signs of waking up.

Holding the sugar water on the desk, Xu Xiangwan scooped some water with a stoneware spoon and carefully fed it to Zhang.

The water flowed down the corners of Zhang's mouth and did not enter Zhang's mouth.

Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but redden, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you must not be bad! If you don't wake up again, I'm afraid you will be sold later!"

Xiao Jiu saw that Xu Xiangwan was in a bad mood, so he just sat on the edge of the bed obediently, trying to make himself look more well-behaved.

"Xiao Jiu, you look at our mother in the house, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. After Xu Qiuyi finished instructing, she put the bones and other things away, and then went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xu Qiuyi was the only one busy preparing dinner for a large family.

Seeing that Xu Xiangwan was back, Xu Qiuyi's frowning brows finally relaxed: "You are back, you have been going for so long, for fear that something will happen to you, Xiao Jiu has been to the entrance of the village several times." ”

Xu Xiangwan knew that Xu Qiuyi cared about her and was not to blame, so she smiled and said, "Sister, is our mother's medicine boiled at night? ”

Xu Qiuyi nodded, and poured out a bowl of medicine from the black clay pot and put it on the stove.

"This medicine has been boiling for a while, but it's still a little hot, let it cool first, and then you can take it back." Xu Qiuyi said.

"Sister, I bought two big bones, as well as two pork loins and half a pork liver, and put them in the house, and I will make some soup for my mother to drink later!" Xu Xiangwan saw that there was no one around the kitchen, so he lowered his voice and said.
