Chapter 71: Compassion
Pei Yao asked her father and mother if they refused to go to live in the mountain col with her, they were reluctant to be neighbors, and they had feelings after living in one place for a long time and were reluctant to move away.
Her father and mother also asked her that there was a side room in the family where Sister Vanilla lived before she got married, because she didn't go back for two years, and there was no place to put groceries at home, so the side room where the groceries were put could still be lived.
The result of this discussion is that you can only run back and forth, fortunately, it is not far, and a little distance can still produce distance beauty, Pei Yao thought.
In the evening, Pei Yao returned to her home, fed Duoduo the leftovers brought back from her godmother, lit a fire and boiled hot water to take a bath, and waited for her to lie comfortably and hot in her soft bedding, that feeling was happy and satisfied, and it was getting better and better day by day! The night is slowly quiet, good night to the world!
Early in the morning, Duoduo replaced the role of the rooster and woke her up on time, that is, she wanted to sleep lazily, and she had to get up and open the door for it to sleep again.
A man and a dog frantically fussed in the courtyard for a while, panting, looking at the gentle slope of the mountain opposite where the grass and trees began to turn yellow, Pei Yao felt that the revolution had not yet succeeded, and the comrades still needed to work hard, and she had a lot of things to do.
After cleaning up, she carried the rattan basket on her back and went to the market, Pei Yao is ready to raise more chickens, if you want to earn more money to buy the mountain pass, or go out to do business, or develop agriculture or breeding, in this ancient times, there is no saying that the status of merchants is low and the status of farmers is high, they can all go to the examination, as long as they learn well enough, they will have the opportunity to take the test or become an official, but the rich have priority wherever they are. With money comes power, and it is difficult for poor peasant households to buy some pen and ink, let alone study. That's really not necessarily a family background that can't be examined.
Therefore, there is no restriction on Pei Yao's desire to do business, and it will not affect her descendants. In addition to contributing to farming, the craft of the second is rattan weaving and cooking.
Winter is the off-season for all business, she decided to raise chickens for a winter, to prepare for the development of spring, the 10 chickens in her mountain are still too few.
She is going to look for chickens for sale in each episode, and asks Aunt Chen to help keep an eye on who has chickens in the nest, and help to hold some chickens, and buy as many as they want.
She was also going to let her godmother drive an ox cart to help her pull a cart of rice bran in the grain store, and she had already told the shopkeeper that she would come and pull it away in a few days. or not to take up space. The rice bran is not worth a few tens of yuan per car, and it is okay to feed chickens and pigs.
When she got to the set, she first took a turn, and didn't see what Jiajia said, eighty percent of them were scared and ran away, and only found a house that sold more than 10 chickens after a turn, she bought them all, put them on the bottom of the back basket, and blocked the compartment to put things.
I also bought some daily necessities such as oil and salt, and two large pieces of cotton cloth and cotton to pass the time in winter. Pei Yao, her own underwear, decided to learn needlework with Jiajia in winter, and she was idle, and she had no time to do rabbit skin blankets.
I bought all my things, and I was about to go back when I was suddenly dragged by someone. Looking back, it was a shabby boy, and it was barely enough to say that it was shabby. It's almost unclothed, and the rotten holes on it haven't been patched. Only those bright eyes caught the eye on a small, dark and thin face, and he clutched a rag pocket in one hand. There were a few vegetable leaves inside, and the other hand handed over a bag of dim sum that he had just bought potatoes and forgot to eat at the stall, the dim sum was bought in the grocery store, and the square wrapped in oiled paper was tied with a cross of threads, and at a glance he knew that it was a dim sum bag, but seeing that the boy was so poor, he didn't leave it to eat, which aroused Pei Yao's curiosity and compassion.
Curious for a moment, Pei Yao followed the boy who turned around and walked away after returning the things he had picked up to her, and when he saw him looking around the vegetable stall, especially near the potato and sweet potato stall, and looking around to see the potatoes or sweet potatoes that had not been thrown away, he walked towards the east side of the market with some disappointment.
He walked to the three-way road to Jiajia's house, in another alley. Pei Yao followed from a distance and didn't make a sound, but before she could follow up in the alley, someone patted her on the shoulder, she was really startled, 'ah', and when she looked back, it turned out to be the son of the Zhao family, Pei Yao rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here, Young Master Zhao?" What's the matter? ”
The corner of Zhaoting Zhaogongzi's eyes was raised, as if he couldn't help but laugh and whispered: "I just came to gather petitioners, and I was very curious to see you sneaky and come to have a look." ”
Pei Yao is a white-eyed person again, can she speak, and she is sneaky, waving her hand at him means that it is none of his business, let him go.
He quietly followed into the alley, and saw that the boy was still walking far along the alley, Pei Yao hurriedly followed, and Zhao Gongzi behind him also followed, and he was full of interest. Pei Yao ignored him and followed the boy directly.
There are still some people in the alley who have people at home, and they are very curious to see Pei Yao and the boy behind her, the girl is fine, and the child's dress is rare in this countryside, even some landlords or shop owners are not as good as him.
The dark placket collar of the long shirt has no wrinkles in the fabric, and when you walk, the sun shines on it as beautiful as golden waves as the ups and downs of the material.
Everyone looked at the two of them in surprise, and Pei Yao's face was black and black, he was really a phoenix man, this was simply an upright tracking, and the people in the alley paid attention to them.
That Zhao Gongzi didn't expect this situation, he was a little embarrassed, but he resolutely didn't leave, he must follow her.
When the two of them followed to the foot of the mountain out of the alley, a courtyard of a stone tile house appeared in front of them, and when she saw the boy enter the yard, Pei Yao wondered that this house was not bad, how could the child live so hard.
Seeing that his house is not bad, instead of living in a shack or something as he imagined, he was about to leave, when he heard a loud voice in the courtyard, and a shrill mother-in-law scolded: "You rabbit cub still know to come back, your plague sister has just washed clothes in the courtyard and can still lie down corpses, what's the use of me raising you two mourning things, I might as well raise a pig and kill it to eat meat." ”
Hearing such a scolding, Pei Yao was dumbfounded! It's still a child, a head shorter than me. Even if you have a poor family background, you can't scold a child like this!
She hadn't come back to it yet, and it started again.
"Hey, you're still hiding, bring it to me to see what kind of treasure, you can also protect this rotten vegetable leaf as a baby, I'll let you hide and let you hide, I can't cure you." After that shrill voice, a boy's cry also sounded: "Don't step on it, don't step on it, I have been looking for so long to find a few leaves, and if I don't eat, my sister will starve to death." ”
"You still dare to push me, it's better to starve to death the two of you, I still have to support you in the province, your father is your mother's death, your mother is dead and your father still hangs his face at the door, this is a slap in the face, hurry up and chop wood, useless things!" Hearing the shrew in the courtyard scolding her mother, thinking of the boy's eyes as bright as stars, Pei Yao clenched her fists, is it vicious grandma! (To be continued.) )
