Chapter 50: Vignette (1)
Of course, the car is not for nothing, after all, no matter how much the mule and the mule cart driver serve the people, they also have to eat well. Therefore, regardless www.biquge.info of adults and children, except for small babies under the age of one in their hands, the rest will be charged five cents per capita. You can't bring too many things, and if you have more, you will have to charge more money for a head.
And it's enough people to leave. I only go once a day, and I don't go when it's raining or snowy, or when I'm busy farming. A mule cart can carry up to six people.
Even if five cents is not expensive, it costs a dime back and forth, so there are not many people who are really willing to sit, and many people are still more willing to use it themselves.
For example, when Lu Aiguo and Shi went to the township, they never took a mule cart. But he was reluctant to take the car, but he insisted on refusing to let Xia Yuan and Lu Yun go too. Xia Yuan thought that her daughter was still young and had never walked so far on the mountain road, so she was not reluctant.
As soon as he heard that he was going to the township by mule cart, Lu Yun suddenly came to his senses, "Ah...... What time is it, is it still too late? ”
"It's only 5:15, we just need to go out before 5:45, your father went to book a seat for two people with Uncle Chen, who was driving the car, yesterday, and even paid the round-trip fare. So as long as we don't miss the time, we have a place no matter what. ”
Thinking that Lu Aiguo was more nervous than her, they couldn't get in the car, and Baba ran to locate someone in advance, Xia Yuan's heart was sweet.
When she followed Boss Su in the past, it was rare to go to the township a few times, when did she take a mule cart? Every time she goes back and forth without being complained about, she is useless, and if she doesn't have enough stuff, it's a good thing.
So what kind of man a woman marries is really important.
When the mother and daughter packed up and rushed to the fixed parking place under the big elm tree at the head of the village, the time was just after 5:50. Uncle Chen, who was driving the mule cart, hadn't come yet. But there were already six people waiting under the elm tree.
Xia Yuan saw that a young man, a young daughter-in-law, and two women in their forties did not know each other. The only thing I know is a new mother and daughter who are dressed in a big and a small one, both of which have similar melon seed faces, and they are quite good-looking, but unfortunately their eyes are not right, which makes people have no good impression at first sight.
If the normal first-come, first-served rule is followed, there is no place for their mother and daughter in the car at this time. So as soon as they approached, a giggling smug laugh came.
"It's really rare for Xia Yuan to see you willing to come and take the car. Giggles, you don't want to hide your patriotism, do you? It's a pity that you're inexperienced and you're a step too late. Today's seats are full, so you can see that you are still walking your life. ”
The person who spoke was called Wang Lizhen, who was a well-known long-tongued man in the village, and liked to gossip everywhere in the east and west. Let's just say it, but she also likes to distort the facts, reverse black and white, and make a little bit bigger than the sky in her mouth, and she is unwilling to make a big fuss in the party's house without adding oil and vinegar.
I'm afraid that the world won't talk nonsense about people like her. It's not a good thing.
Seeing that Wang Lizhen didn't have good words when she opened her mouth, and then looked at her daughter, who was only seven or eight years old, and her true inheritance was also looking down on people, facing them with her nostrils, and gloating exactly like her mother. Xia Yuan sneered in her heart.
She looked at the others with indifferent looks. She guessed that these two probably came later, so she felt that she had a little inexplicable sense of superiority when she saw them come a step later.
It's a pity that her sense of superiority was played by the wrong person today.
"We don't have much experience. But it wasn't too late. Xia Yuan showed a smile on her face, and replied unhurriedly, "Our family Lu Aiguo set a seat with Uncle Chen yesterday, so it's hard to say who is the one who is the one who walks." ”
"Impossible? If the two of you are positioned first, you will have to pay three people's money, how can Lu Aiguo be willing to spend this money for you? Don't be blind, right? ”
Wang Lizhen and her girl Chen Qiuyu both had black faces.
Their mother and daughter are going to their cousin's house in the township to drink wine today, Wang Lizhen's cousin is more than ten years older than her, because she was beautiful and married well, her cousin-in-law is from the township, and she is still a commercial grain. So this cousin has always been the pride of the whole family, the object of praise in the mouths of adults.
This is why Wang Lizhen has been unable to balance since she was a child. When she grew up, she finally failed to marry a man who ate commercial food like her cousin, so she felt very unbalanced in her heart, she felt that she was no worse than her cousin in terms of appearance, how could her luck be inferior to others?
Fortunately, in the past ten years, feng shui has taken turns, although her cousin's family has lived in the township with commercial grain, and she does not have to go to the field to do farm work, but her life has not been as good as her over the years. When she heard that her son was married, she couldn't even afford to wear a new set of clothes.
So she specially wore her best clothes today to show off. As a result, I was so happy to dream last night, and I woke up late today. Originally, I was glad that there were exactly two places left in the mule cart, but Xia Yuan was anxious when she said this.
There have been disputes in the village over early payment of fares by mule cart before. So later, the village committee changed the rules, and those who were really anxious to pay the fare in advance had to pay the money according to one dime and a half per head.
So everyone has nothing to say.
Because they booked it in advance, they paid more. Therefore, according to the regulations, as long as the person who has booked a seat in advance comes, others must unconditionally give up the parking space.
Wang Lizhen's eyes flashed with resentment, why is it today?
She dressed up specially in order to drink wine today, not to mention the new clothes all over her body, and she still had a pair of black leather shoes on her feet that she was usually reluctant to put on. If you can't get on a mule cart, walk down such a long way, don't talk about eating and drinking, and when you get to the township, you will be disgraced. If you don't get it, your shoes will just rot.
Xia Yuan looked at Wang Lizhen's face, and then looked at her eyes constantly resting on her own feet. She chuckled inwardly, and immediately guessed what she was thinking. Wang Lizhen has always cherished her pair of leather shoes that she doesn't know how many times she has taken them out to show off. It's going to be a lot of heartache.
"It's a pity that your leather shoes are gone, and I don't know if they can make it to the countryside."
Xia Yuan deliberately sighed at the shoes on Wang Lizhen's feet again, "That day, I went to the township with our family Lu Aiguo to buy a pair of shoes and saw it, I also wanted it, but we Lu Aiguo didn't want to buy it." ”
"Of course, these shoes are the most expensive sold in the entire supply and marketing cooperative. It's strange that Lu Aiguo is willing to buy it for you. ”
Listening to Xia Yuan's words, Wang Lizhen suddenly trembled again. I don't know how many times these shoes have grown her face in the village, and this time it was a long face, it was really in vain that she served Chen Dazhuang so diligently, and he took out more than half of the money to buy it for her.
Hmph, Lu Aiguo is reluctant to buy a pair of shoes for Xia Yuan, and he is willing to book a parking space for her in advance? So what she said before must have been deceived by her. Hehe, she doesn't look at the object of deception, she is so easy to deceive? Isn't this all of a sudden?
Wang Lizhen's heart suddenly relaxed.
