The halo of the oil lamp blurred Fan Ming's resolute face, and no one could see what he was thinking at this time?

After a long time, Hui Niang and Miao Miao had already fallen asleep, until the wood in Fan Ming's hand gradually turned into a silhouette, then he stopped, put it aside, and then went to the kitchen to scoop water and take a bath.

Early the next morning, just after four o'clock, Fan Ming got up, earlier than the usual Hui Niang, lit the oil lamp, cleaned himself, Fan Ming went to the kitchen to wash the pot and wash the vegetables, Hui Niang heard the sound of washing vegetables in the kitchen, opened her eyes suddenly, thought she was dreaming, wiped the sweat on her forehead, looked to the side, and found that Fan Ming was not in bed.

Fan Ming got up so early today? Hui Niang had some questions, hesitated for a moment, immediately got dressed, combed her hair, and went to the kitchen, "Ah Ming? Are you alright? After Hui Niang asked, she felt that something was wrong, and her eyes looked at Fan Ming.

Fan Ming sighed, raised his head and gave Hui Niang a smile, "Daughter-in-law, I'm fine." ”

Hui Niang nodded, "It's okay." She thought that Fan Ming was still worried about yesterday's events, which made her worried.

Waiting for Hui Niang to wash up, the couple was quite busy going to the town to prepare pancakes, because of the limited time, there were not many pancakes to fry in the morning, more than 100 pancakes were already Hui Niang's limit, two cents a piece, and it could be sold for about 200 yuan.

Hui Niang only remembered in recent days, you can want to get a pot like a modern mille-feuille, you can sell it while doing it, but that kind of pot Hui Niang hasn't come up with yet, she has only seen it before, what kind of structure is it, Hui Niang is not very clear, and when she is free after selling things today, she will go to the blacksmith to talk to the blacksmith, it should be custom-made, and then make a small stove below.

Fan Ming saw that Hui Niang had been frowning, and knew that she must be thinking about the future. didn't bother her, quietly burning the fire in the stove.

Make up your mind, the speed of Hui Niang's pancakes has accelerated a lot, and the cakes that have to be fried like this for two or three hours every day are also very wasteful, and the firewood that Fan Ming fetched from the mountains before is almost half burned, so in a few days the family may face a crisis of lack of firewood. It seems that we have to find the people in the village to buy a few loads of firewood and come back.

Talking about this to Fan Ming, Fan Ming immediately agreed, "Daughter-in-law." If you don't say that I really forgot, I'll come back at noon today, and I'll go to the village in the afternoon to buy a few loads of firewood. ”

There are also people in the village who cut firewood and sell it in the town, and when the time comes, he will say that it should be delivered soon, and a load of firewood is not very expensive, and it can be bought for ten cents.

The prepared materials were made into pancakes by Hui Niang, and it was already dawn at this time, Fan Ming entered the house and called Miao Miao to get up, and Hui Niang cleaned up the back. After the family of three finished breakfast, Fan Ming went to set up the ox cart, carry all the things needed to go to the town, and close the door. The family of three set off for town.

When I came out, it was a little later than yesterday, and I happened to meet Xiao Li, who went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, "Second sister-in-law? Hui Niang said hello to Xiao Li who came out from under the eaves. Miao Miao raised her happy eyes and looked at Xiao Li, Xiao Li raised her head in surprise, and asked pretending not to know, "Third brother and sister?" Where did your family go so early? ”

Hui Niang saw Xiao Li's pretending not to know. I wasn't annoyed, and replied with a smile: "Let's go to town." Originally, Hui Niang didn't want to say hello, but when she saw it, she still said hello to Xiao Li, how to say that it is also a family.

However, Xiao Li didn't think so, his face stiffened, and he felt that Hui Niang had a kind of show off.

After Hui Niang finished speaking, she immediately stiffened when she saw Xiao Li's face, and casually said a few words to Xiao Li, and let Fan Ming drive away with the ox cart, but she didn't expect that she was self-defeating, and she still pretended not to see it next time.

Xiao Li gritted his teeth, and then paced towards the vegetable garden with the basin in his hand.

When I arrived in the town, before I got to the place, Hui Niang saw from a distance where she rented a stall, there were already three or five people waiting there, Miao Miao excitedly pointed to those people and said to Hui Niang: "Mother? You see there's someone waiting for us. ”

"yes, yes." Hui Niang smiled and rubbed Miao Miao's hair, business is good, which is also something that Hui Niang is happy to see, but it is a little surprising that someone is waiting here.

Fan Ming, who was in front of the car, was also very happy, the canned food Hui Niang was no longer selling, the reason for setting up the stall was to sell those good cans, seeing that no one came to buy the cans, Hui Niang stopped, planning to wait for autumn or winter to sell again, anyway, it was made into cans and sealed, and it would not be bad in a short time.

When I arrived at the place, the things had not yet been put in place, and a few people who were waiting there just now immediately surrounded them, and three or five people chattered towards Fan Ming and Hui Niang and his wife: "Boss, you are late today, and we have been waiting for a while." ”

"I'm really sorry, because there is something at home, it is too late, so I have been waiting for a long time." Fan Ming said to the people while moving things.

"yes, I'm sorry." Hui Niang also agreed, and she didn't stop with things in her hands, and she fried more than a dozen cakes today, and the time was later.

A few people smiled and said that it was okay, after the things were placed, Fan Ming went to Qiao Yong's house to move the tables and chairs, Hui Niang made cold noodles for a few people who were waiting for breakfast and let them eat them first, and then come to sit later, a few guests didn't say anything, but the speed of eating breakfast was not slow at all, and before Fan Ming moved the tables and chairs, a few people paid and left.

There are quite a lot of people who come to Hui Niang for breakfast every day, but it has attracted the jealousy of many stall people around, who let Hui Niang take away their business in a good way. At this time, there were not many people in the surrounding stalls, but there were three or five people on Hui Niang's side, and the vendors around the stalls all threw jealous eyes at Hui Niang.

These Hui Niang didn't notice it, and were busy with the things in hand.

Not long after, Fan Ming came over with an ox cart loaded with tables and chairs, and when he saw that those people were gone, he asked Hui Niang, who was packing up the dishes and chopsticks, "Daughter-in-law, how many of them are gone?" ”

"Yes, what about the money Miao Miao collected?" Hui Niang smiled.

As soon as Miao Miao heard that Hui Niang was talking about her, she immediately held up the twenty dollars she had just counted in her hand to Fan Ming as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Dad, look? I just received twenty-five cents. ”

A bowl of cold noodles is the price of five yuan, five people asked for a bowl of cold noodles, just twenty-five yuan, Miao Miao often helped collect money during this time, and he could count from one to a hundred, and it was a little difficult to go beyond a hundred.

"Yes, Miao Miao is so smart." Fan Ming praised, Miao Miao's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he handed the money in his hand to Fan Ming and asked him to keep it, Fan Ming didn't shirk, took the small backpack from Hui Niang's hand, and put the money in.

The couple set up the tables and chairs, and waited for a while, more and more people came in the town, and Hui Niang's side became more and more lively, and the couple were a little too busy, Hui Niang was busy maintaining order while taking things for the people in line, and was busy collecting money, Hui Niang couldn't wait to grow two more hands, so that the speed was faster, Fan Ming looked at Hui Niang, who was busy, a little distressed, thinking that he still planned to discuss with Hui Niang, or ask someone to help.

Miao Miao is still young, and she can't help much.

It didn't take long for the cold noodles and pancakes to be sold, and some of the people who were still queuing up behind could only go away, and some kindly reminded Hui Niang to prepare more tomorrow, Hui Niang could only apologize vigorously, she could only prepare such things every day, and she couldn't be busy if she was too much.

The guests slowly dispersed, Fan Ming came over with a large number of plates, and said to Hui Niang: "Daughter-in-law, I think we should ask someone to help when we go back, right?" ”

"What? Ask someone for help? I'm busy, huh? Hui Niang hesitated. After the last incident, Hui Niang still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it. Besides, she has no plans to hire someone at the moment.

Fan Ming frowned, glanced at Hui Niang, and said squirmingly: "Daughter-in-law, let's invite someone, I feel very distressed to see you busy every day." ”

Hui Niang laughed out loud, it turned out that Fan Ming was worried that she was working hard, she was just busy with these things, why don't you find an excuse for Fan Ming to dispel this idea? That's it.

Hui Niang thought for a while, and then made a bitter face, "There is someone who can be invited so easily as you said, it's not in a hurry, let's do it first." Hui Niang tried to procrastinate.

Fan Ming shook his head violently and insisted: "No, we must be invited, what if you are tired?" ”

Fan Ming didn't allow it, and Hui Niang had no choice but to take the lead in defeating, or not, it was good to invite an individual, although there was an extra salary, but it was also good for multiple people to help, so let's let go of the worries in my heart first.

The cold noodles and pancakes are sold out, but there is still a little mung bean soup still lying in the jar, not sold out, thinking about going to the iron shop, Hui Niang wanted to take Miao Miao over, and Fan Ming said goodbye, by the way, Hui Niang asked him to guard here first, it is estimated that after she comes back, the mung bean soup should be almost sold.

Miao Miao happily followed Hui Niang's side, bouncing along the way, now it's okay, finally don't have to sit on a small stool, you can follow her mother everywhere to buy things, she is still unhappy there, walking and walking, Hui Niang can't find the direction.

Asked the people on the side of the road for directions, Hui Niang took Miao Miao to the blacksmith shop first, and after a circle around, Hui Niang began to look carefully at this blacksmith shop, this shop is about twenty or thirty square meters, compared to other shops of only ten square meters, this looks relatively large, the left side of the shop is full of ironware, the corner is stacked with some semi-finished products that have become old for a long time, some are some agricultural tools that have been broken, such as shovel plowshares and the like, and some are broken swords of iron, quietly put aside, Hui Niang estimated that these should be waiting to be melted back into the furnace.

There are also some new products hanging on it, but there are still more agricultural tools, and the top is full. Miao Miao kept looking curiously, the last time Hui Niang came to the town to buy knives, she only bought them at a roadside stall, and this was the first time she came back to work in an iron shop.
