Chapter Twenty-Three: Weak and Reasonable
The chickens and rabbits in the mountain goods shop sell for 20 wen a catty, and the high shopkeeper collects them for 18 wen a catty, and the price is really a lot.
"Big brother, how did you meet Shopkeeper Gao?" Cui Xiaoxiao was very curious about how the eldest brother met the shopkeeper Gao, and it seemed that the friendship was not shallow.
"In the past, my father sold his prey to the shopkeeper Gao, and brought me here a few times, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper Gao to remember me, and the shopkeeper Gao helped a lot after my father died." Cui Yuanjian didn't know why Xiaoxiao asked this, but this didn't hinder his interest in talking.
"It's the high shopkeeper that my dad met in the years he was outside, it seems that my dad helped the high shopkeeper, my dad is really amazing!" In Cui Yuanjian's eyes, the shopkeeper Gao is already a very powerful character, and his father can actually help such a character.
"Of course Dad is amazing! Dad is good at farming, good at hunting, and has read books and can read and write, but I have never seen anything that my father can't do! Speaking of his father Cui Yuankang, he was proud, I don't know what he thought, his face sank, "Dad and the shopkeeper Gao are so familiar, how can the shopkeeper Gao still make our money!" ”
Cui Yuanjian paused for a moment and glanced at Cui Yuankang, not knowing how he could have such an idea, "How did the shopkeeper Gao make us money?" ”
"Then the high shopkeeper will pay 20 yuan, and he will pay 20 yuan when he goes to the mountain goods store to buy it." Cui Yuankang looked indignant, it was not easy for their brother and sister, and their brother and sister's money was also earned.
Cui Yuankang's thinking is very common, but it is wrong. Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Cui Yuanjian curiously, not knowing how he would deal with this matter.
"How do you know that the shopkeeper Gao went to the mountain store to buy it for twenty wen? Even so, why did the shopkeeper buy your things for twenty yuan? Cui Yuanjian frowned, when did his younger brother actually have such thoughts.
"Even if Boss Gao is not the prey of buying a mountain goods shop for twenty yuan, but the high shopkeeper will not lose money for twenty yuan to buy our prey, and besides, the high shopkeeper is not short of that money, why can't he give us more!" More than a pound or two pennies can almost buy half a pound of cornmeal, Cui Yuankang feels distressed when he thinks about it.
"If people have money, they should give you more?" Cui Yuanjian's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
"I didn't mean that." After listening to the eldest brother's words, Cui Yuankang also felt that his thoughts didn't seem to be right, and he didn't seem to mean what the eldest brother said, so he was so anxious that his face turned red.
"That's not what you mean, what do you mean! Don't you just think that the shopkeeper is better than us, so he should help us more, right? Cui Yuanjian broke Cui Yuankang's mind.
"Yes, big brother, we don't want the shopkeeper's money for nothing, he just makes less money!" Brother Cui Yuankang is amazing, and he knows everything in his heart.
Listening to Cui Yuankang's words, Cui Yuanjian's heart became numb, their brothers and sisters have been unhappy for half a year, and when their father was there, they never let them worry about their livelihood. But for half a year, they had to rely on their own hands to support themselves, and if they didn't go out to work for a day, they would have no food to eat the next day. But even so, Yuankang can't have such a mind!
Cui Yuanjian stared at Cui Yuankang straight for a long time, and looked at Yuankang with a hairy heart, before he said, "You are also better than the beggar squatting in front of the store, you have food to eat, a place to live, and warm clothes to wear every day." In the future, you can eat less at every meal, and the rest will be enough to feed a beggar. ”
Cui Yuankang became anxious when he heard his brother's words, "I am not related to that beggar, why should I give my food to that beggar!" ”
"Then why do you ask the shopkeeper to make less money, the shopkeeper Gao just has a little friendship with our father, has no affection with us, and why does he help us." Cui Yuanjian was angry, and he didn't leave any affection.
"You don't want to think about how much the shopkeeper has helped us, the dead prey never lowers the price, and the price given is higher than that of others. Shopkeeper Gao helped us so much, didn't you see it? It's too high that the shopkeeper can't help us enough! Cui Yuankang, you can't be a man without a conscience! ”
"Big brother, I, it's not that I don't know that the high shopkeeper is good to us! I" Cui Yuankang was about to cry in a hurry, his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and I didn't say it for a long time.
After a long pause, Cui Yuankang said again, "Big brother, I was wrong, I'm not without conscience, isn't it not easy for us to make some money, I just think that if the shopkeeper Gao helps a little more, we will be much better." ”
"You are weak, you are reasonable, if you don't have money, you can earn it yourself, why do you want others to help you. If you are better than you, I should help you, I have no ability, and I rely on others! Cui Yuanjian didn't know when his younger brother had such an idea, and now that he knew, he couldn't let his younger brother continue to think like this.
"You're better than a beggar on the street! Then you have to help them, your cotton jacket is warm, and the beggar's clothes can't even cover the body, don't wear it, give it to the beggar! Cui Yuanjian reached out and peeled off Cui Yuankang's padded jacket.
Cui Yuankang didn't react for a while, and the belt was untied by Cui Yuanjian, so ashamed that Cui Yuankang covered his shirt and grabbed his sleeve tightly with one hand, preventing Cui Yuanjian from tearing it off.
Cui Xiaoxiao was stunned when she saw this change, is this the eldest brother possessed by Aunt Guo? How much this scene looks like Aunt Guo is going to throw Jinbao with a stone!
I can't help Cui Xiaoxiao think about it, Cui Yuankang lost the opportunity, and his clothes were about to be dragged down by Cui Yuanjian. Although Cui Yuankang is still wearing a middle coat, but in this era, appearing on the street with only a middle coat is tantamount to naked/running!
Cui Xiaoxiao hurriedly came behind the eldest brother and scratched vigorously under his armpits. With her current height and strength, she can't do it, don't pull the frame but get beaten, and more importantly, maybe she can't help. The second brother is only nine years old, and if his clothes are torn off, it will not be good to leave any psychological shadow in the future.
The armpit was scratched, and no one could help it, Cui Yuanjian had no choice but to let go of Cui Yuankang's clothes, and Xiaoxiao hurriedly grabbed his eldest brother's hand, "Big brother, you like to take off your second brother's clothes, let's go home and take it off!" It's still on the street, don't be too anxious! ”
Cui Yuanjian's face was red, his neck was red, and even if he had more anger in his heart, he would only be embarrassed. Cui Yuanjian also reacted that he was on the street, and the red that had just receded climbed onto his face again, like the gorgeous sunset, Cui Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the appearance of the eldest brother was that he was a girl, and he was also good-looking!
It's not that Cui Xiaoxiao's heart is too rotten, it's really that Cui Xiaoxiao has lived on his own for decades, and he has little experience in persuading people. Since you can't persuade people, it's better to divert your attention, and it seems that the effect is quite good at the moment! PS: Thank you all for your support! Hurry up and get the recommended tickets, the number of collections to hit me, I'm strong, I'm not afraid of pain!
