Xu was in order to avoid causing trouble, Ah Zhong and his wife did not introduce Jing Xiaotian to Li Dahan, and after thanking her, they directly dragged her to the north.

After buying the needlework cloth needed for Linzhi to make shoe uppers from the cloth stall, Jing Xiaotian suddenly noticed that a young man from a ready-to-wear shop was throwing a pile of rags onto the garbage heap.

She screamed with joy, pounced, pulled the basket on Ah Zhong's body and stuffed it in.

Frightened, Sister-in-law Ah Zhong hurriedly grabbed her and said softly: "Sister Jing, you are a young lady, you can't pick up these things!" ”

"This thing can be turned into money!" Jing Xiaotian directly said the point.

As soon as she heard this, Sister-in-law Ah Zhong also came to her senses and said, "You let it go, I'll come." As he spoke, he lowered his head and carefully picked up the rags, but none of them fell.

However, she didn't ask a word how this thing could be turned into money!

Just when she got up to leave, Jing Xiaotian suddenly saw a broken fishing net, and the lead sinker under the fishing net made her happy.

Immediately pointed to the lead sinker and said: "Take this home too, and you can also turn it into money!" ”

Ah Zhong's sister-in-law's desire for money made her overcome her shyness, and she immediately picked up the fishing net and stuffed it into the back basket.

A few people then bought some salt and lamp oil, and were about to go back, when Jing Xiaotian's stomach suddenly rumbled.

Jing Xiaotian scratched her head a little embarrassed, she had the intention to invite Ah Zhong and his family to eat something at the market, but she didn't make any money, and it was not interesting to talk about empty words, so she simply walked quickly and rushed to her home, she still had the ability to starve.

Ah Zhong and his wife glanced at each other, Ah Zhong's sister-in-law seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then ran to a stall selling mung bean cakes, spent two cents, took a few small pieces, and ran to a stall selling maltose, spent two cents, and took a few pieces of maltose dipped in sesame seeds.

ran a few steps to catch up with Brother Ah Zhong and Jing Xiaotian, and stuffed these foods into Jing Xiaotian's hands.

The aroma of maltose wafted in bursts, Jing Xiaotian kept swallowing saliva, but refused to eat, she wanted to take it to the house and share it with everyone.

When they returned to Dalinzhuang, the sun was already in the west, but several people were very happy, this time to the market, in addition to buying necessities, they earned back two hundred and thirty copper coins! And I also carried back a large piece of white meat and two sheep hearts and some snacks, and today's dinner has meat and very thick porridge.

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong has already thought that as long as they can guarantee an income of 300 wen a month, they can eat thicker porridge, not only will they not starve, but they can occasionally eat something good.

Thinking of these, the feeling of fullness in the abdomen and warmth around the body suddenly came to my heart, and Sister-in-law A Zhong felt that a good life was simply within reach.

The old house of the Lin family in the distance had already appeared in everyone's sight, but the sharp-eyed sister-in-law A Zhong suddenly panicked, and said in a tone change: "Oh my God, the old lady of the Jing family is here!" ”

Jing Xiaotian stood on tiptoe and saw that there was a black carriage pulled by a horse parked in front of the Lin family's old mansion, which was the Jing family!

Her brows immediately furrowed, and she looked at the helpless sister-in-law A Zhong and said, "Hide the things, carry those rags and rotten fishing nets and those salts back, and don't keep a penny on your body." ”

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong immediately had the backbone, quickly ran to the side of the big haystack on the side of the road, stuffed the basket under the haystack, and stared at it for a long time with great anxiety, this is the family's subsistence money!

"Go, I'm here to watch, tell the family, that I went to play with the children in the Zhuangzi!" Jing Xiaotian stared at the horse with disgust, urging Ah Zhong and his family to go back quickly, hoping to send them away quickly.

Sister-in-law Ah Zhong was worried about Miss Lin Zhi, so she hurried and trotted all the way to her home.

There was a sudden silence all around, except for the sound of hay shaking in the wind.

Jing Xiaotian looked in the direction of home, sighed softly and said, "It's really hard to go back to home!" ”

"This little brother, do you have something to eat?" A deliberately low voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Jing Xiaotian was frightened, and suddenly turned his head and saw a young man, staring at him closely.

This boy looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a high nose and sunken eyes, luxurious clothes, alert eyes, and imposing momentum.

Judging from Jing Xiaotian's experience, this person should be a mixed-race child.

Jing Xiaotian didn't like his aggressive eyes, so he held on, resisting his killing momentum, and didn't move or speak.

Her stubborn appearance made this son laugh instead, he flicked his fingers, and a gold leaf suddenly flew over, Jing Xiaotian subconsciously took it, the thing was not too big but heavy to fall on, about one or two, Jing Xiaotian touched it carefully, and his heart instantly jumped wildly: "Genuine!" The first pot of gold is here! ”

But his face tried his best to maintain a wooden appearance, and said stupidly: "All the things I have here add up to less than a hundred yuan!" ”

"It's okay, take it, now for me, food is more valuable than gold!" Childe said, and walked directly to the basket hidden by Sister-in-law Azhong.

Obviously, he had already seen the scene just now.

However, Jing Xiaotian's heart snorted contemptuously, and secretly thought to himself: I knew that what you need most now is food, otherwise how could I be honest with you!

However, this son's next move made Jing Xiaotian a little unbearable.

I saw him leaning over and taking out a sheep's heart from the basket, putting it on a piece of skin, cutting it into slices, sprinkling it with salt, pricking it with a knife, and putting it directly into his mouth, chewing it while exclaiming: "Well, it's quite fresh, and it tastes good!" ”

Jing Xiaotian subconsciously swallowed her saliva and suppressed the twitching of her stomach, she didn't expect that Sister-in-law A Zhong actually hid the salt in this basket, if there was no salt, would this person swallow it raw? If you weren't hungry for a certain amount of time, you probably wouldn't have eaten like this, right?

Jing Xiaotian's eyes unnaturally showed a trace of sympathy: "Why don't you go to my house for some hot food in a while?" She tentatively gave in.

The young boy didn't answer, only shook his head slightly.

Jing Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, but still took out the mung bean cake and maltose he was carrying, and held them up with both hands and handed them to the child's eyes.

After staring at it for a moment, Childe reached out and took it, and at the same time scooped up another sheep's heart in the basket, wrapped it in leather, stuffed it into his arms, and whispered, "You and I have never seen it!" Then, turning away, he was gone.

Jing Xiaotian was stunned for a moment before spreading his legs and running home. In the panic, he only grabbed the gold leaf, and everything else was thrown in place.
