After Xiaoshan and Heiya left, Xu Zengqiang glared at his younger brother, "What are you pulling me for." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xu Zengwen rolled his eyes in his heart, "Don't you see that they obviously don't want us to follow?" “

"I didn't see it." Xu Zengqiang scratched his head and asked suspiciously, but he also knew in his heart that this younger brother had always had more eyes than himself.

Xu Zengwen ignored him and deposited the flatbed car in the carriage and horse shop, two copper plates in an hour.

Acting alone on Xiaoshan and Heiya, neither of them cared, who doesn't have a little secret, they have a way to make money and don't forget their own home, sixty wen a day, nearly two taels of silver a month, which is an incredibly high income in the countryside. Adult men work in the county, and the better ones are only a dozen yuan, and they can't find jobs every day.

"Let's go, let's have a good walk." Helping his younger brother put the car away, Xu Qiang pulled his younger brother and walked down the street.

The two of them rarely came to the county seat before, and it was rare to see anything, passing by the stall where they were making food, although they just ate and couldn't help drooling. However, the two were reluctant to buy anything, so after strolling around the West Market, they happened to meet the Xiaoshan brothers and sisters when they walked back.

As soon as the two sides met, the time to store the cart was about the same, and they walked to the carriage together.

Several people are a little tired, and it is naturally a lot slower to go back, the black girl didn't sleep this time, and when she was tired, she got in the car and sat for a while, and when everyone was tired, she would sit on the side of the road and drink some water. It was almost dark when we got to town.

There was not much food stored at home, so Xiaoshan went to buy some rice and noodles again, and remembered that Heiya would not be able to come out tomorrow, so he bought two catties of soybeans. Anyway, there are a lot of things to buy, hurry up and hide the beans in advance, my father and mother should not be able to see it, if I find it, I will say that I bought it from home, and it is a big deal to be nagged by my mother.

My uncle's house was originally closer to the town, but it was getting late, and Xiaoshan had bought a lot of things, so Xu Qiang had to send them back first.

Maybe it's because it's almost home, and the few people who wilted before are also in good spirits, and they are fighting along the way. Only when he was playing with his peers did Xiaoshan look like a thirteen-year-old boy, smiling with a sunny face.

The black girl wore a wreath made of dog's tail grass on her head, and a few small purple and yellow wildflowers were inserted on it, which her second cousin made for her when she was resting on the side of the road.

After arriving home, the two resolutely refused to keep the meal, saying that they were afraid that their father and mother would be in a hurry at home, so they had to leave when they helped put down their things, and the black girl took out the gifts she bought for her and her cousin and stuffed them to her eldest cousin, asking him to help bring them back. Xu Zengqiang heard that it was given to his mother and sister, so he stuffed it into his arms without looking at it.

Xu knew that they must be hungry, so he hurriedly brought them two cakes to eat on the way.

The little girl was busy following Zhang Luo, and when she heard that there were gifts for her concubine and cousin, she looked at the black girl with a blank eye, "Sister, where is my gift?" ”

"Don't hurry up and let your sister rest, what kind of gift do you want." Xu slapped the little girl on the head.

Seeing that the little girl pouted and wanted to cry, the black girl smiled, and hurriedly took out the flower from her arms, "Of course I brought you a gift, my brother and sister are out, and it is very hard for Xiaoya to help with the work at home alone, this is a reward for you." ”

I was happy to see the little girl with a flower, in fact, she didn't want anything, she just looked forward to it at home for a day, waiting for her brother and sister to come back, but she didn't bring gifts to others, and she didn't have a little grievance in her heart.

Afraid that Xu would be mad when he saw that he was spending money, he took out the hairpin he bought for her, "Mother, this is for you, you have worked too hard in the past few years, our family will have a better life in the future, and you can take a breath." ”

Xu Shi, who wanted to curse, took the hairpin, but his eyes couldn't help but redden, his mouth moved a few times without saying anything, and he turned around and wiped his tears back to the room.

Heiya is also a little sad, she can understand her mother's feelings, a woman's family takes care of the paralyzed husband, pulls three children, in order to live, has to let the eldest son beg for a living outside at a young age. Fortunately, now that the bitterness has come, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

Xiaoshan brought the rice and noodles he bought into his father's room, and put the sackcloth he bought on their kang. "Daddy, today an altar in the town was sold for thirty Wen, the county town sold five Wen, our family divided ninety Wen, and the eldest sister's one with fragrance sold for one or two halves of silver, a total of 1,620 Wen, and bought some things, and the rest is here."

Xu's eyes were still a little red, and he rubbed the corners of his eyes embarrassedly, "The one with the fragrance, why does it sell for so much money." ”

"Sell it to rich people, they love that tune, it's not bad for money." The black girl said with a smile. In ancient times, there was no chemical flavor, all fragrances can only come from pure nature, and there is no refining process, so it is very difficult to make the fragrance so strong, and the price of spices has been very high since ancient times, just like the shopkeeper said, if it is sold to the capital of the city, the price will be higher.

Xiaoya saw that the adults had finished speaking, and asked Heiya to help her wear a head flower, and then several children coaxed Xu to put on the hairpin. Xu couldn't help it, so he had to ask Dad Liu to help him put it on, straighten his clothes, and stand there a little unnaturally, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"It's good-looking." Several children nodded busily, and Dad Liu also smiled and said, "It's good-looking, just like the year you married me when you were seventeen." ”

Xu Shi glanced at him with disgust, "There is no right line in his mouth." But a smile hung on his lips.

A few children have long been surprised by their affection from time to time, and go out to drink porridge with a smile. Knowing that they were walking long distances during the day, Xu boiled the corn porridge very thickly, and the black girl drank two bowls before feeling full.

After resting for a while, it was already late, Heiya boiled hot water, took a simple bath, and thought that she would buy a bath bucket and come back early. She had asked in the town before, and a bath bucket cost about one or two halves of silver, because the process was a little complicated, and it was necessary to use iron sheets to tighten the wooden planks, which was more labor-intensive, so the price was much more expensive.

Tomorrow, Xiaoshan only needs to go to the town to send Xue Niangzi's altar over, as he said before, the five altars sent to the county seat are made at home and the cousin is done, and the uncle and cousin are assigned to send it over. I also said hello to Boss Qin today, and the payment will be settled in ten days in the future, originally Heiya meant who sent it over and took the money back directly, but my uncle insisted that Xiaoshan or Heiya go over and get it himself. They are only responsible for delivery.

Heiya also understands her uncle's concerns, and has to admit that her uncle is an understanding person, and it seems that their family character can be trusted, and they will be a good help when they set up a stall in the future.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired today, thinking about what I'm going to do in the future, Heiya quickly entered the dream, Xiaoshan came in and wanted to talk to the eldest sister, but I could only give up when I heard her slight snoring.
