This book was first published by Xiaoxiang Academy, please do not reprint!
After getting her mother's purse, Cai Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and she could finally buy it happily without looking at her mother's painful expression!
Ten catties of meat is not light, plus the two large bags of cotton cloth and cotton and other things that I bought originally, it is impossible to carry them shopping. Du Shi and Cai Wei discussed, and finally Du Shi sat in the car, looked at things, and Cai Wei was responsible for picking up the supplies in the house.
When Du Shi heard his daughter's words, he was very pleased. When her daughter grew up, she already understood the sophistication of human feelings, and as a mother, she naturally couldn't pull her daughter's hind legs, so she immediately took out her purse and paid the bill.
"Mother, it's freezing now, I can't eat it, I can eat it at any time, besides, Aunt Zhou has helped us a lot over the years, and this time the wild boar was also carried back by Uncle Zhou and Jiujin, how to say, we should also thank others, right?"
Du Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Wei'er, we can't eat so much meat. I think it's good to cut two catties first. ”
"Okay, okay!" The boss who came on the other hand agreed, as if he was afraid that Cai Wei would regret it, and took out a straw basket and put the pigskin and big bones on the ground into it. flashed neatly into the case, holding a shiny boning sharp knife, ready to cut the meat.
The boss was stunned, those things were originally going to be taken home to feed the dogs, and they were not worth anything at all, if these things could be made into a 300 Wen deal, he would naturally be happy to give them away.
"Okay, thirty wen will depend on your thirty wen, if I buy ten catties of meat, can you give those as an add-on?" Cai Wei asked, but her eyes were fixed on some broken pigskins and some clean big stick bones thrown in the corner of the shop.
"Thirty wen a catty, the price of the whole town, the small shop is absolutely not bullied." The boss patted his chest and tried his best to make this business happen.
"Boss, how much is a pound of pork?"
Du Shi picked on the meat case, ready to buy a piece of fat meat to go back, not only can boil oil, but also boiled meat residue can also make dumplings, very fragrant!
On weekdays, pork is 20 wen a catty, because it is close to the end of the year, prices have risen, and now pork has been sold for 30 wen a catty.
In the butcher shop, the oily butcher saw the customer coming to the door, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy meat?" This is a newly killed big fat pig this morning, fresh! Look at how thick this fat is......"
Du Shi couldn't bear to refuse his daughter, so he nodded helplessly.
Cai Wei didn't think so, she pointed to a butcher shop and said, "Mother, the buns are not resistant, why don't we go buy some meat." ”
Du Shi bought ten meat buns and ten cooking cakes, and Xizier Zi'er was ready to go back to improve the lives of the children.
Outside the shop, some small businessmen set up a lot of small stalls, selling cooking cakes, noodles, steamed buns, wontons, etc. Cooking cakes cost two cents a piece, somen noodles three cents a bowl, shredded meat noodles eight cents, wontons five cents a bowl, vegetarian filling, if it is meat filling, you have to add five cents. Vegetarian buns cost a penny, meat stuffing costs two pennies, and steamed buns cost two or two, but they are the kind of rough bread buns mixed with cornmeal.
Most of the shops on this street sell food. There are shops selling grain, meat, fish, and vegetables.
Du Shi felt that it was not cost-effective, the carriage charged money according to the head, even if the mother and daughter were empty-handed, they also charged 40 yuan, with an unbalanced psychology, Du Shi planned to pick up the things used at home and buy a large cart to go back, so that 40 yuan would not be spent in vain.
Because the uncle's horse was frightened, he couldn't be contacted for a while, and it was snowing again, and the road was slippery, so the mother and daughter had to hire a carriage to go back to the village. Mujia Village is not far from the town, only more than 20 miles away, and on weekdays, you can hire a carriage with a tent for only 30 yuan, but now because it is snowing, I added another 10 yuan to hire a car.
The daughter came back, and Du's heart relaxed. Took Cai Wei to another street.
She doesn't want her mother to know those bad things, her mother is kind, if she knows, because of Cai Wei's negligence, she accidentally injured a human life, but she is afraid that she will have a shadow in her life, so she will never let her mother know about this.
Holding her mother's hand, Cai Wei comforted her softly and diverted the conversation.
However, when she saw her mother's anxious face, and then saw the relieved smile when she came back, she really understood this sentence, someone is concerned, it is indeed a kind of happiness.
At that time, she still felt that this sentence was hypocritical, how about someone worried? What if no one cares? She is who she is, and she will not change because of who cares about her.
Cai Wei remembers that she once read a book that said that the happiest thing in the world is no matter where you are. What are you doing? There will be someone who has been silently caring about you......
As if he had picked up an ingot, Du Shi greeted him happily, and said angrily: "Wei girl, where have you been, why have you been there for so long, but you are in a hurry to die......"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Du Shi was so anxious that he couldn't stand still, and he was almost about to go out to look for it, when a familiar figure rushed back across the street in the wind and snow.
In the small restaurant, Du Shi was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth anxiously, looking out of the door from time to time, his daughter had been gone for two or three hours, and she had not come back yet. Didn't you meet the flowers? Or, ran into a kidnapper?
At this time, the sky was already overcast as if it was night, large snowflakes were flying in the air like goose feathers, the market was dispersed early, and the farmers who rushed to the market were in a hurry to rush home......
With Cai Wei's assistance, the old beggar was carried back to the cloth village, and after settling down, Cai Wei thought about the mother in the small restaurant, said a word to the shopkeeper Li, and left.
……
After the loud sound of promise, the little guy in the cloth village pushed away the crowd and squeezed in, Cai Wei was slightly stunned, the little guy was the guy Cai Wei and Du Shi bought the cloth, the little guy also recognized Cai Wei, paused, then turned his head, and said to the shopkeeper Li: "Old shopkeeper, the car is ready, let's carry people back......
"Hey, what about this......"
Shopkeeper Li rubbed his nose, straightened up, pulled his neck and shouted: "Monkey cub, monkey cub, where are you?" ”
Cai Wei thanked her, took it, and before she had time to take a closer look, she stuffed the mirror into her arms, and said eagerly to Shopkeeper Li: "It's going to snow soon, let's find a way to move the old man to the house." ”
The elders give it, and it is impossible to say goodbye.
The mirror is round, simple and simple, without any cumbersome decoration, with a thick coating on it, which seems to be some years old. The back is a layer of turquoise patina, which hides the ornamentation on it.
