Chapter 227: The Grocery Store Next Door to Children's Clothing
When I got home, the nurse had already put all the dishes on the table, and the children had washed up, and sat upright at the table, just waiting for her to come back and start the meal.
Erya couldn't help but feel distressed and blamed herself again! I'm always like this, as long as something happens, I just want to take care of things first, but I forget that there are children behind me to eat. She said apologetically to the more sensible Wen Chao: "Wen Chao, in the future, if your mother is busy with things and has a meal, you can take your two younger brothers to eat first, and you don't have to wait for your mother." Good no good? ”
Without waiting for Wen Chao to answer, Wen Yue shouted: "No! I want to eat with my mother, my mother is not there, and the more I eat, it is not fragrant at all! ”
Qingzhu also made a fuss: "I also want to eat with my aunt!" ”
Wen Chao nodded slowly at this time and said, "I also think it's fragrant to eat with my mother!" ”
Erya knew in her heart that the children were just telling the truth, and wanting to eat with adults was just out of a kind of psychological dependence, but she still had to use her perceptual understanding to move her heart.
Because it was a little late, it was a little slow to just sit there and eat, so Erya took the children out for a walk.
Autumn nights are generally bright as long as they are not cloudy or rainy. The fields and trees in the moonlight are more beautiful and poetic than in the sun.
Although the moonlight in autumn is very bright, the visibility is not as good as the sun's light, and the shadows of the trees in the moonlight sometimes move strangely with the wind.
Erya had to take the child to take a closer look. Let them know that it is only the shadow of the tree, because when the tree moves, they will follow.
When walking on the dam, there are occasionally large fish in the river that quickly sink due to the sound of human footsteps. When the water sank, the tail made a splash and a rattle, and the children screamed again.
There was also a frog in the grass that jumped up and jumped away because a human foot accidentally kicked it. The children screamed again.
Erya took the children around for more than half an hour, and occasionally played a small tune with the homemade flute she brought with her. The children were not quiet for a moment when they followed behind, they would scream in fear when they saw the shadows of the trees, they would scream in fright when they saw the noise of the fish in the river, they would scream with joy when they heard their mothers play the flute, they would scream in fright when they occasionally fluttered on the trees, and they would scream when they saw a frog jumping over their feet.
In this silent night, the movement of the three children was no less than the sound of a thousand ducks being frightened, and the second girl took them helplessly. Try to get around as far away from home as possible.
However, this is not to blame the children for being so timid and making too much fuss! When the two of them went out, the eldest aunt took three children. Because I was afraid of a mistake, I closed the door as soon as it got dark and didn't let the children out. In the summer evenings, the children of other families are outside to enjoy the coolness, play, catch fireflies, and find knowledge, and one by one the family members get angry and want to whip them with branches. None of them knew how to go home.
There are only three small partners: Wen Chao, Wen Yue, and Qingzhu. Honestly lying on the cool bed in his yard, let the nurse and the grandmother fan the fan, chase away the mosquitoes, and chirp about the topics that the children are interested in. The nurse and the aunt did not take the children home until they were about to get dew, and they had already slept and were not awake.
After Erya came back, she didn't like to cool off outside, and the children were used to staying at home at night, so they rarely came out at night. So, it's the occasional time to come out and enjoy the colors of a good night. Instead of appreciating and playing happily, they screamed all night after their mother.
When they returned home, the children were no longer afraid. On the contrary, it arouses the desire for excitement in people's hearts.
Wen Yue took his mother's hand and coquettishly: "Mother! Shall we hang out tomorrow night? Wen Chao and Qingzhu also looked up at her with bright eyes.
Erya frowned and thought for a while, and then replied to her son: "Yes, yes!" I just can't play for so long like tonight. Otherwise, you will sleep too late, which is not good for the growth of your body. ”
The three children immediately hugged each other happily and jumped and jumped, and the second child hurriedly stopped: "Okay! All right! Don't sweat it, I'm going to bathe you again. Erya said while touching Sanxiao's back uneasily, and it was really slimy. I had to resign myself to boiling water, and I was busy washing the three small ones again.
The next day, Erya, who had breakfast, took out the horse and was about to go to Fucheng to see the grocery store where Liao's shopkeeper asked for a plate, and the grandfather came over with a smile.
"O nephew and daughter-in-law! The people on both sides of the river in Chenjiazhuang have agreed to sell it to you, do you have time to go over and calculate the land price with them today, and get the land deed back as soon as possible? ”
Erya was surprised and asked, "Why did they all agree all of a sudden?" There's nothing wrong with that! ”
The grandfather smiled: "You are shrewd!" You're right! But it's not a bad thing, they suddenly want to buy this field just because they heard that our family's grain is sold directly to the army, so they also hope that in the future, their family's surplus grain can also be put in our family's grain and sold to the army together, I thought that this matter is not a difficult matter, so I agreed to their request! But don't worry! I specifically mentioned to them that it must be new and good grain, and anything that is damp, spoiled, or not full enough will never be harvested! ”
Erya nodded, this matter can be helped, and he should help General Qin collect food for free. However, when the grain is stored, there is still the problem of 'disproportionality', if the grain is small, it doesn't matter, if it is more, the average person really can't bear it. So, she said to her uncle: "Grandpa! You might want to tell them about the 'misalignment' in this?! On the old General Qin's side, I will definitely not ask his old man to compensate him. We can help collect and sell on behalf of us without any fees, but there is another point, we must not post it backwards. In the future, maybe many relatives and neighbors will come to us and beg us to help sell food to the army, so that this way. The quantity of the grain is gone. We can't afford to lose our family business! ”
Grandpa felt that although he was old here, he was still not right to think about things. After all, he has never done business, and he has never considered the errors caused by food 'disproportionality' or other problems.
And because the army did not go over when they received food in Liujialing. So I didn't know that the army would come to collect grain and even bring a special bucket over. There may be no difference between civilian fights and military fights, but it cannot be ruled out that there will be a little bit of error. Don't underestimate this little bit of error, if it is hundreds of thousands of buckets, it will be quite a big difference.
"Oops! I really haven't thought about this, so okay, I'll go over and explain it to them again today, if it's discussed. Let's go and buy their fields. "Uncle thought about solving this matter first, and then talking about buying land. People in this era are still very kind, and they always have to solve each other's problems. will think about their own things. It's not like the era that Erya lived in, where the people, regardless of 3721, first brought what they wanted, and the other party's request was slowly delayed. Drag until the other party can't wait. I had no choice but to consider myself unlucky and voluntarily give up the conditions originally proposed.
Erya nodded and said, "Then trouble the grandfather to go again, and when you have negotiated, I will bring the money to talk to them about the field." Now I'll go to Fucheng first, do you have anything to help you bring back? ”
Uncle really thought about it, but he really couldn't think of what he needed, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it!" Go ahead, I don't know what my family lacks. If there's a need, say it! Anyway, it's not too difficult for us to go to Fucheng now. ”
The second girl led the horse and sent the grandfather out for a while. Watching the grandfather go first, he got on his horse and went to the town first.
Since Cai Baocheng asked him to manage the tea plantations, he likes to stay in the mountains, tending to those tea gardens, and occasionally hunting, picking wild fruits, mushrooms and so on. It took two or three days before he went down the mountain, and sent what he had gotten from the mountain to the big canteen in the town, and gave a part of it to the owner. This time, Erya originally wanted Cai Baocheng to temporarily replace Hongguo's husband for a few days and bring a newcomer, but he went to the mountains again and was not there!
Erya explained to Shi Jingxuan and asked him to let Cai Baocheng go to her house when he came back. After that, I went directly to the shopkeeper of Fucheng Liao.
Because autumn clothes have not yet begun to be made in large quantities, the quantity of goods is insufficient. When Erya arrived at her shop, Liao's shopkeeper was dealing with customers and had no goods. When he saw the proprietor lady coming, he didn't leave all the customers, but said hello to the proprietor lady in the air, and continued to receive the customers at hand. The customer was reasonable, and when he saw that the owner of the house was coming, he no longer bothered with the autumn clothes he wanted to buy for his children. Then he turned his head and went out, and on the long boards placed on both sides of the gate, he chose a flower for his daughter.
Only then did the shopkeeper Liao have the time to talk to the lady of the owner: "The lady of the owner! I didn't expect you to have the ability to have foresight, it's not too cold on this day, there are quite a lot of customers who come to buy autumn clothes, and the delivery is not enough to sell in three days. ”
Erya replied with a smile: "What kind of foresight is this, it's just a little bit ahead." I've already said hello to the workshop department, and the summer clothes have been stopped, and now all the autumn clothes are made. I'm here today to ask you, what do you mean by taking down the grocery store next door? Our family's business is so good, and the increase in the flow of people can also bring their business better, why do we have to go out at this juncture? ”
Shopkeeper Liao sighed, shook his head and said: "Boss Xing of this grocery store is the second in the family, and when he opened the store, his family collectively took the capital, and he said that all the money he earned would be handed over to the family. Probably in the process of doing business, Boss Xing was greedy for a big head, and he gave the family a small head, and the family never found out. After a long time, he became much more greedy, and he began to get carried away. His woman is two hundred and five, taking the money he has embezzled to show off in front of the concubine, you say, aren't these two goods looking for death!
This is not! Not only does he have to hand over the money he has been greedy for so many years, but his family has to sell the grocery store. After getting the money, they will break up! His brothers are also ruthless, anyone can buy this store, but Boss Xing is not allowed to buy it, and no matter how much money is spent, he will not sell it to him!
Originally, Boss Xing meant to let me help him buy it in my name, but who knew that his brothers were all human spirits. Released in advance, if this store is still in the name of Boss Xing in the end, then they will take back this store and not return the money when they bought and sold at the beginning. I really didn't expect that if this brother turned his face and did things better than outsiders! Ha ha! Shopkeeper Liao couldn't help laughing as he spoke. (To be continued......)
