There was a clean old lady sitting at the counter, wearing a small jacket, and was combing the little flower cat for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The little flower cat lay on the counter, curled up, snuggled up next to the old lady, always turning a blind eye to the patronizing guests, and the old lady said a few words to the little flower cat from time to time: "Mi, Mimi, Mimi!" ”

The old lady's collar and sleeves are also decorated with very characteristic lace, and a clean handkerchief is inserted in the front chest of the small jacket, which is quite like the appearance of everyone in the twenties and thirties.

Xi'er immediately became interested in the old man.

In the countryside of Huaibei, Anhui Province, such an old lady is rarely seen, or in the rural areas of the country, it is rare to see an old lady like this.

The old lady speaks softly, and the skin on her face is also well maintained, shiny and translucent, and it can be seen that she was very beautiful when she was young.

Xi'er took her grandfather's hand and approached the small grocery store.

At a glance, you can see that the family is an expert in running a small grocery store.

The counter is made of mud, and a large black wooden board is placed on the surface as a countertop.

After several wind and rain, the countertop of the counter has been polished, and there are several small jars along the counter, which are filled with wine, soy sauce, foreign oil, etc.

Immediately behind is a row of shelves, on which are neatly placed candy, paper cigarettes, flower towels, pots and pans and other necessities for the life of the people of Huaibei.

"Grandma, I want to buy some salt." Xi'er's clear voice suddenly shifted the grandmother's attention from the cat to her.

"Hehe, what a delightful little girl, white and tender." The old woman stood up and brought a jar from the back shelf.

"Xi'er, didn't you say buying sugar? How do you buy salt? The old man was surprised.

"Grandpa, the salt at home is almost finished, let's buy sugar next time." Xi'er looked at her grandfather with a smile, and then turned to look at her grandmother.

Old Man Tian was softened by Xi'er's words, and he reached out and gently pinched Xi'er's little ears.

"Grandma, I want half a catty of salt and three taels of peanut oil"

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and it must be very tiring!

You can't eat meat often, but you must put more oil than usual, otherwise your body will definitely not be able to stand it.

Others can't take care of it, but grandpa is getting older and older, and he will definitely not be able to bear it if he doesn't supplement nutrition in time for a long time of physical labor.

I'll take a look at the meat stall later, and it would be nice if there was plate oil.

The oil residue boiled out can still be used to make the filling of pancakes, and I heard my grandfather say that the taste is still infinitely aftertaste.

"The little girl began to worry about the family's livelihood, it's amazing!" The grocery store grandmother touched Xi'er's little head that didn't reach the counter.

"Oh, yes! Our granddaughter is sensible, give, and grandpa will take charge of our family's livelihood for you in the future. Old Man Tian took out the previous checkered handkerchief from his arms.

Xi'er was not polite, and took it and counted the banknotes inside, less than three yuan.

Looking up to the sky and sighing, where is the money, where is the money, where are you?

"By the way, grandma, do you collect small fish and shrimp here?" Xi'er suddenly remembered that she still had something in her arms.

"What fish and shrimp?" The old grandmother looked at the little girl in front of her with a smile.

Xi'er hurriedly took it out, opened the small white cloth bag, and handed it to her.

In fact, there is no less than a bowl of small fish and shrimp, but now there is a lack of everything, and nothing is too little.

The old grandmother hasn't taken it yet, but she has brought the little flower cat over.

Meow ~ meow ~ scream cheerfully.

"Well, it's clean, and it smells faint, sea salt." Xi'er secretly stuck out her tongue, this grandmother's nose is really smart!

"Do you take it here? Usually I will net some small fish and shrimp, and it is okay to change some salt and oil. ”

I don't know if the desire in Xi'er's eyes is too strong, or if the grandmother really likes it.

"I'll take it, and if you send it with this quality in the future, I'll take care of it for you."

As soon as she heard this, Xi'er touched a three-foot height, and she only had to turn around in place.

"We are becoming more and more capable, and we can make money to support our families." The old man's eyes were red, he touched Xi'er's head and muttered.

"Grandpa, I usually can't do work in the field, and it doesn't take much effort to fish and shrimp in the ditch. Besides, isn't there still Zhang Yi? After saying that, he smirked.

I thought, don't care about anything else, first find a reason, the pile of fish and shrimp collected by the golden retriever will be dealt with first.

I haven't been in for some days, so I guess it's a lot.

"Grandma, do you want as much as you want?" Xi'er needs to be reconfirmed.

"Look at this street, just my grocery store, if your goods are good, you will definitely not worry about selling, not to mention that the price is not high, right?"

Looking at the grandmother's kind eyes, but when it comes to business, she is still a good hand!

"Hehe, grandma's price, as much as you want. I just want to give my grandfather two taels of oil to improve his life. Xi'er tossed the ball again.

"What a naughty girl, you don't have many fish and shrimp this time, I will convert you to the price of two taels of salt, do you think? If you're really big, let's talk about it in detail. The old grandmother was holding the little flower cat, still smiling.

Xi'er nodded, anyway, there is a lot of space, the important thing is to find a place to consign.

Old Man Tian sighed, is this still his well-behaved Xi'er?

Under the persecution of life, he has matured so far!

Watching her talk and discuss with the shopkeeper in a good way, why do you always feel uncomfortable with her eyes?

Xi'er counted out five cents from the handkerchief and handed it to the grandmother, peanut oil is eight anise and five cents a catty, and the grandmother only counts star anise.

Xi'er bought half a catty, and the money for salt was just right.

Old Man Tian turned around and secretly wiped his face, and the chrysanthemums on his face bloomed again.

"Come, give it to grandpa, and in the future, Xi'er will be our little housekeeper Borneo~"

Xi'er was so happy that she was empty-handed, and greeted her grandmother before leaving, and agreed to send some fish and shrimp over after a week.

Just about to leave, I saw a big clay pot in the corner, and asked curiously what it was?

"This is the pickles that my wife pickled herself, and it's good to use them to deliver porridge." A neat old man came in outside the door, and he should be the head of the house.

Xi'er heard that it could be sold, and spent four cents to buy four catties, this thing can not only deliver rice but also supplement salt, which is necessary for farmers.

But before Xi'er was a child, where would she grow vegetables? Not even more pickled these.

Old Man Tian is even more ignorant, and when it comes to winter, he has to buy everything he eats.

Xi'er made up her mind, and when she went back, she would let a vegetable garden come out, anyway, it was far away from the village, and she was not afraid of being pulled into pigtails.

In fact, you can grow vegetables in winter, as long as you take care of it, you may be able to see a little green during the New Year.

The main purpose of the old man's gathering today is to repair farm tools, so at this time, the grandfather and grandson are not in a hurry, and they look east and west.

Seed? Xi'er's eyes lit up.

It was the old woman who sold spinach just now, with a handful of unknown seeds spread out in front of her, and she really slept and handed over the pillow.
