Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sold
Not long after breakfast, Thyme heard someone knock on the door.
Yesterday, Aunt Xiang said that her cousin was coming, and Baili Spice thought that someone was coming.
Thyme opened the door, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Xiang and a man in a blue shirt standing in the doorway, the man was about forty years old, the skin on his face was very dark, and his hair was tied in a bun with a white hosta.
And what made Thyme feel a little uncomfortable was the man's shining eyes.
But this small detail was quickly overlooked.
Smiled slightly, Thyme said, "Aunt Xiang is here, please in the yard." ”
Aunt Xiang shook her head again and again, after all, now Thyme is not at home, rashly let the man in, it is inevitable that people will gossip, Aunt Xiang is very worried about Thyme and said: "No need to go in, let me introduce you, this is my cousin I told you the day before yesterday, Madam, let's go see the lotus pond!" ”
Thyme was not reluctant to see Aunt Xiang not coming in, and she also knew that Aunt Xiang was for her good.
With a friendly smile at the man, Thyme turned and closed the door.
The pond was next to the house, and after walking a few steps, Thyme pointed to the pond where the lotus leaves had withered and said, "This is the lotus root pond." ”
The middle-aged man walked around the pond very calmly at this time, and then said: "The lotus root in this pond should be good, the pond looks fat, what does Madame think the price is appropriate?" ”
Because it was introduced by Aunt Xiang, the man still gave Aunt Xiang a lot of face, and it happened that he was also short of lotus roots. But business is business, and men have a clear share.
Thyme never thought about the price of lotus root, so she smiled and said, "Let's ask the boss what price you think is appropriate!" I haven't learned about the price of lotus root, so let's see how much I can give at this price! ”
The middle-aged man looked at the lotus root pond again, he had been selling vegetables for decades, and he had already developed a pair of fiery eyes, and the lotus root in the lotus root pond knew that it was very good at a glance.
After thinking about it, the middle-aged man said, "You don't have to worry about anything, I'll give you three pennies a catty." ”
Thyme didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "Okay!" No problem. ”
Thyme thinks that the price given by the boss is very good, and in Thyme's heart, the low price is two pennies to make a deal.
The money has exceeded Thyme's expectations, and the price given by this middle-aged man is really good, and the most attractive thing for Thyme is that she doesn't have to care about anything, just sit and collect the cashier.
The middle-aged man saw that the thyme agreed, so he continued: "I will find someone to dig this lotus root tomorrow, but I have a request, the kind of lotus root that is too inferior, I won't want it if it is not in good condition." ”
Thyme frowned, thought about it and weighed it for a while, and then said: "There is no problem with this, as long as the boss doesn't want it on purpose, as long as it's in bad condition, you don't want it."
Aunt Xiang saw that the matter was going well and the negotiation was completed, and she was also happy in her heart.
"That's fine, Mrs. Tomorrow will stay at home! There are scales in the village, so you can find two more people to help weigh them. ”
Thyme herself understands that in this kind of weighing thing, both sides need someone to be present, and there is nothing to find someone to help.
"Well, that's it, thank you Aunt Xiang for today's matter."
The middle-aged man didn't say much, and when he saw that the matter was over, he followed Aunt Xiang away.
The middle-aged man here followed Aunt Xiang away, and couldn't wait to ask, "Cousin, isn't there a man in Mrs. Xiang's house?" ”
The middle-aged man thought that thyme was good-looking and gentle, so he had a small calculation in his heart.
Aunt Xiang saw her brother asking, and she didn't think much about it and said: "Mrs. Xiahou was sent here five years ago, and it was a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper who sent her over, but she just said that she would settle down here in the future, and Mrs. Xiahou stayed in the village, and she didn't see her father-in-law come here to see her for so many years, no matter what happened, I still think she is pitiful." How difficult it is for a woman to raise a child, Mrs. Xiahou's life is not good, I have been in that house before, there are a lot of things in it, Mrs. Xiahou has been selling almost in the past few years, and selling lotus roots I think is also to make a living, so I thought about calling you over, which can be regarded as helping. ”
After listening to Aunt Xiang's words, the middle-aged man suddenly realized.
"So that's the case, you are also a heart, I will come over in person tomorrow, the lotus root in this lotus root pond is good, as long as you dig it back, it will be sold for a good price, in the end, I also want to thank you if it weren't for you, I can't find such a good lotus root, I'm anxious about the lotus root these days, and several restaurants in the city want lotus roots."
The thyme here yawned as soon as she entered the room, and she couldn't help but sniff.
Xiahou Yuchen is very diligent, as long as he has time, he will squat down and contact and write.
Thyme glanced at Xiahou Yuchen, and his handwriting was very good.
Then he smiled and said: "Chen'er is really diligent, just now my mother sold the lotus root in the lotus root pond, and when the time comes, my mother will send you to the city and let you go to the private school to study." ”
Thyme still feels that it is impossible for her to teach Xiahou Yuchen well, she will only teach modernly, which is not applicable here at all, and Xiahou Yuchen will live here after all.
When Xiahou Yuchen heard Thyme say this, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at Thyme, and then said in a low voice: "Mother, I don't go to private school, I will stay at home and practice writing with my mother, and I have to learn medical skills from my mother." ”
Xiahou Yuchen finally found his goal, that is, to learn medical skills with Thyme and become a respected doctor in the future.
Squatting down, Thyme touched Xiahou Yuchen's head and said: "After you go to the private school, you can also follow your mother to learn medical skills, you can make a lot of new friends in the private school, and the gentleman in the private school will teach you the principles of life." When my mother sells the lotus root, I can let you go to the private school to study and listen to my mother. ”
In the past two days, Thyme was thinking about whether to send Xiahou Yuchen to study, and in the end Thyme still felt that she couldn't selfishly keep the child by her side, she wanted to live in peace, Xiahou Yuchen may not want to, those children in the village Thyme saw it, and went up the mountain all day long to dig out the bird's nest, and went down to the ground to work with his father, and then he would save enough money with the strength of the whole family, marry a wife and have children.
Thyme didn't want Xiahou Yuchen to live like that.
Xiahou Yuchen's eyes flashed with tears, and he sniffed and said, "But when I go to the city, I can't be with my mother, so what should I do if my mother misses me?" And what should I do if I want to kiss my mother? ”
Thyme smiled slightly, and then said: "The private school has a time to rest, and when you come back." ”
