Chapter 1: The Bean Sprouts Girl
Eat bean sprouts——
A crisp cry sounded in the early morning, breaking the tranquility of the morning light like a rooster crowing!
No one paid attention to when this little girl selling bean sprouts began to sell in the village, and when the fish and white belly were in the east every day, the sound of selling would appear in the village on time, more punctual than a clock, and the thunder could not move! After a long time, every time the people in the village heard her cry, they would get up on time to clean up the stove and start a new day, without delaying at all!
This little girl has a congenital deficiency - her tongue is short, her words are always unclear, and the word "eat" is always pronounced as "ci", which is jokingly called "bean sprouts ci". No one asked her name, and I don't know who called him "bean sprouts", and this name became synonymous with her.
The girl with bean sprouts is not very old, she looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, her body is thin, her figure is not tall, and the two swinging pigtails at the back of her head are very attractive.
Let's start this story with her!
"Bean sprouts, how much is a pound of bean sprouts?" Qiao'er's mother hurriedly ran out of the house when she heard the shouting of the sale, trotted all the way and twisted her ******, and came to the little girl who sold bean sprouts with a basin and asked, her father-in-law and man have to go out early today to work for the production team to earn work.
"Auntie, you're really funny, every time you buy bean sprouts, you have asked a hundred times, why can't you remember? It won't change, six cents a pound, it's very cheap, how many pounds do you have, auntie? The sprouts girl asked.
"It's too expensive and too expensive, why do you sell it for six cents, and don't sell it for five cents? If you don't sell it, I'll leave! Qiao'er's mother pretended to be surprised and said.
"I said Auntie, money is dead, things are alive, a few taels higher on the scale will go out, less than five cents, you eat a real, I sell a happy one, what's the point of caring about one and a half cents, do you say this is the aunt?" The bean sprouts girl said skillfully!
"Tsk, tsk, look at this little mouth, it's really good at talking! Come on, come on two catties. Qiao'er's mother said.
"Auntie, it seems that our family has a lot of labor, and two catties of bean sprouts cost five or six people to eat, right?" The bean sprouts girl passed the scales neatly, and at the same time she was dressed almost in a fairy dress.
"It's not good, there are two strong laborers in the family, my father-in-law and my own man, and two half-prodigal boys, and a girl, all of whom can eat! The two men don't eat and can't earn work, the children don't eat and don't grow up, as the saying goes, the boy who doesn't eat the corridor eats Lao Tzu to death, the days are tight, and the mouth can't be tight! Hey, everyone is the same these days, the poor are rich! Qiao'er's mother said.
"No, as long as you are willing to move forward, life will always be fine. Come, call Auntie, the scale is high, give me a dime. The bean sprouts seller said.
"What are you doing, robbing? I want two catties, why do you want me to ...... a dime, what did you just say a dime? Is it four or ten?! When Qiao'er's mother heard that there were two more cents, she immediately looked unhappy, but she felt that this girl was not divided into ten or four, which was very funny, as if she was serious and teasing.
Hahaha......
While the two were talking, several villagers came to buy bean sprouts, and they thought that the girl's words were very funny, and they couldn't help but laugh when Qiao'er's mother said it in public.
"Auntie, you can also hear it, my congenital tongue is short, and it is not good to speak, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you scold people, auntie is an elder, let's not make the younger generation happy, okay?" The bean sprouts girl replied to Qiao'er's mother with an embarrassed face, and then said: "Besides, this scale comes from a hundred scales, and you can't keep it all in a hurry, so you can be a junior!" You said that I am a girl, how difficult it is to get up early and work for my parents in the dark! The girl who sold the bean sprouts said pitifully.
"Yes, Qiao'er's mother, a child's family, what is your name, hurry up and buy it and cook it home, the men are still waiting to eat and work there!" Neighbor Zhang Rongfeng didn't know when he would come to buy bean sprouts, and hurriedly said when he saw this scene.
"That's not good, a penny can suffocate a hero, this is two cents, who isn't picking their teeth to live?" Qiao'er's mother said with a grin.
"Auntie, it's normal for the scale to be high and low, I'll add some more to you, yes, you see, there is more than a point, I gave it to you for nothing, as long as you are happy, I am not afraid of losing money!" A well-fed family is better than anything else, and there is no wealth between the teeth, right? The girl who sold bean sprouts said.
"Okay, Qiao'er, it's not too early, and there are so many people waiting for you later! Da Zhuang and his father are very tired these days, and they usually have less oil and water, so let them eat more and run more, and the eight cents will come out, so don't worry about these two cents! Zhang Rongfeng said.
Qiao'er's mother was the first to come out to buy bean sprouts, just to let the two men eat early and leave early, she was reminded by her neighbor Zhang Rongfeng, looked at the sky and polished, so she hurriedly paid the money, and said to Zhang Rongfeng, "I'll go first", and ran and twisted the ****** home with a full pot of bean sprouts.
Bean sprouts ci hey——
The girl who sold the bean sprouts didn't know whether she was happy to sell a portion of the bean sprouts, or whether she habitually shouted every time she sold a copy, and opened her throat and shouted, completely losing the unhappiness of arguing with Qiao'er's mother just now!
"Auntie, how many are you here?" Bean sprouts asked Zhang Rongfeng.
"Give me a pound." Zhang Rongfeng said. She is very fond of seeing this girl, she is not very old, she is very adaptable, she can speak well, she can meet the source left and right, and she must not offend anyone, and she can sell the goods, which is a good material for trading!
"Good come! Look, your aunt, just because you just gave me a help, I'm going to give you a little more, and I'll compare my heart with my heart! Bean Sprouts said with a happy face.
"This girl is really welcome! Which village are you from? Zhang Rongfeng asked.
"The eastern ancient city is all three miles and five towns, and the distance is the size of a palm. One finger and three strokes must have a kiss, if you talk about the older generation, maybe you can climb up to the kiss! As he spoke, he pulled and almost said, his hands were in a hurry!
"How old are you this year?" Zhang Rongfeng asked again.
"Sixteen."
"You should be in school at your age, judging by your speech and demeanor, you look like a social oil, like you haven't been to school, right?" After Zhang Rongfeng finished speaking, he found that the bean sprouts' hand trembled.
After a few words, the bean sprouts girl weighed the bean sprouts, she glanced at Zhang Rongfeng and said: "Auntie, a pound is high, two cents more, count the favor I gave you, you take it." ”
"This girl, a good person, earned me, I want to say thank you!" Zhang Rongfeng gave the money, turned around to say hello to the villagers, and went home.
Bean sprouts ci hey——
Zhang Rongfeng didn't take a few steps, and then heard a shouting sound behind her, and she seemed to hear a trace of resentment from this crisp shouting sound! Hey, this kid is not as tall as the handlebar, so she began to break into the society to share her family's worries, and there must be her hardships in this!
After thinking about it, Zhang Rongfeng turned into an alley, which was a long and narrow old alley running north-south, and when he walked to a third of the way, he turned eastward, and there was a dead end with only three households. Legend has it that it used to be a large family, but it was divided into three during the land reform.
"Yo, Lao Xie, why are you carrying a basin by yourself? You also go buy bean sprouts? "Lao Xie is the first in this alley, Zhang Rongfeng's house in the middle, and Qiao'er's mother's house at the top of the innermost house.
"Yes, it's easy to deal with in the morning, and fried bean sprouts is also convenient." Lao Xie replied with a smile on his face.
Speaking of this old Xie family, it is not an ordinary family, the ancestors have been trading people for generations, although it is not a big family, a big mule and a horse, but it is also a well-known rich family in this area! During the land reform, the government divided his family's land, and the house was also divided by his father to two families, one is Zhang Rongfeng's family and the other is Qiao'er's mother's family, the reasons for which will be introduced one by one in the following chapters.
"Where's the dog? Just let the dog do this kind of trivial thing, and you still do it yourself? Zhang Rongfeng asked again.
"That kid has no memory, who can rest assured, I'll come." Lao Xie replied.
Lao Xie is a burly man, speaks bronze, speaks neatly and neatly, and completely inherits the ability and shrewdness of his ancestors.
"Yes, my sister-in-law has been bedridden for many years, you are a father and a mother, hey, it's really hard for you!" Zhang Rongfeng thought for a moment and said: "Otherwise, if you buy bean sprouts in the future, you will put the pot at the door, and I will buy it back for you, and it will not be delayed."
"Thank you, a bag of cigarettes, nothing! You hurry back, don't delay Uncle Yao's dinner. After Lao Xie finished speaking, he waved his hand at Zhang Rongfeng, and disappeared into the alley.
Bean sprouts ci hey——
There was another crisp shouting on the street!
