A new beginning
Today, Brother Wang said that it was the death day of the original owner's mother, Chu Ying got up early and went to the lake to look at the trap, and only one finger-thick small fish was caught in the 3 fishing buckets, which was really not enough to stuff his teeth.
Chu Ying didn't know where the original owner's mother's tomb was, so she could only use timidity as an excuse to let Brother Wang take it. "Chu Ying, don't be afraid, your mother will bless you. This is the steamed bun and sauerkraut made by my mother, and the small thing is also a piece of mind. Aunt Chu was kind to us during her lifetime and was also very good to our family. "
"Thank you so much, everyone else avoids me, and you still treat me as a friend." When she arrived at the cemetery, Chu Ying saw that the tombstone made of wood had a darker blood color, and it was estimated that it was left by the original owner.
"Don't blame the villagers and my mother, your father and your mother have left one after another, and you want to die or not, the people in the village say that your life is very hard." Brother Wang took out three incense sticks and lit them for Chu Ying with a fire fold.
Chu Ying closed her eyes and bowed three times, although she had traveled to this place, she didn't want to live up to your dedication to the original owner, and she would definitely live well. Then he kowtowed three times.
"Chu Ying, you are really difficult, you can go to the city to find your second uncle, when your father went out to do business and was killed, your second uncle drove you and your mother out, saying that he was afraid that you would kill others. In fact, it is not for the sole possession of the family property, but only 10 acres of wasteland to be taxed and the dilapidated house for the two of you. Brother Wang also knelt down and bowed.
"You can't afford to come here and you can't afford to spend all your savings, Aunt Chu really has no choice, so she went to climb the fairy temple to pray for blessings, the mountain is steep and slippery, hey, Chu Ying, you must take care of yourself."
Chu Ying saw that Brother Wang, who was smiling on weekdays, also had this sadness, how could she be embarrassed to be sorry for her mother and him, this second uncle was a ruthless character when he heard it, and his little child was definitely not his opponent, maybe he would kill people and kill people, and even take this wasteland.
When she got home, Chu Ying took out a stone axe and began to cut the grass, the axe was a bit heavy or a little laborious, but it was better than pulling it with bare hands. It would be nice if all this grass were wheat.
This land is relatively high, and it is not practical to grow rice like other families, and I don't know if there are wheat seeds in the city, so it may still be feasible to grow some wheat.
After a busy day's work, I finally cut half of the grass in the house, and even if I can't sell it for money, it's a good starter. Brother Wang said that he would take an early ride in the ox cart, and Chu Yingtian groped his way up before dawn.
He sighed at his hands, a little tasteful, picked up the tender twig, bit it up, and wiped his teeth with plant fibers. When I went out, I saw that Brother Wang was already waiting at the door. "Brother Wang, why did you get up so early?"
"My mother asked me to sell the eggs, and yesterday I heard you say that you were going to the city, so I came with you." Chu Ying carried two bundles of grass with a wooden stick and followed behind Brother Wang. I can't be greedy because I'm small, so I took two bundles first and looked at the market.
"This ox cart sits at the entrance of the village, it is Grandpa Li's ox, he leaves every morning and returns in the afternoon, and he will make a few trips if there is business in the middle."
Brother Wang looked at Chu Ying, who was looking at the road seriously with his head down, thinking that when he first came here, Chu Ying was either sick or a female celebrity at home, and rarely went out, but now the little person has to take care of himself, and suddenly he has changed from a phoenix to a sparrow, and he can't help but sigh.
"You're a little too much for this, so you have to charge two pennies." There were already people sitting on the ox carts, holding their eggs and endless crops. His two bales of grass are somewhat conspicuous.
"Grandpa Li, here you are, Sanwen for the two of us." Chu Ying smiled at Brother Wang. whispered: "If you sell it for money, I will pay you back." "
"It's fine." Along the way, the women in the car chattered about the pretty widow in the next village and the chickens that had not laid eggs at home. Chu Ying looked at the road carefully, if there were sometimes few things, she might be able to walk by herself, although she felt that it would be very difficult.
When she arrived in the city, Chu Ying asked all the way to the livestock area of Dongshi, and asked a few families, all of which were 2 wen a bundle, "Uncle Qiu, this is ear-bearing grass, but it is fertile, you can bully our country girls who don't understand the market." "
"Yo, it turned out to be Wang Er, the grass is good, but it's only two bundles, not enough for a horse to stuff between his teeth, and I also read the 2 articles that the girl said when she was well-behaved." Boss Qiu picked up a piece of grass and picked his teeth.
"Uncle Qiu, I still have a lot of food at home, I just look at the market first, you see that I can supply 20 bundles every day, you see the price, and there will not be so much grain for the horses in winter, you need to save more, don't you?"
"That's what I said, then you can bring it, 3 wen per bundle, and I will take as much as you take. This is 6 yuan, next time in business, don't sell it to others, the price I give is the most reasonable. Uncle Qiu had a fat belly, and his stomach shook when he laughed, like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Okay." Chu Ying returned Brother Wang's 2 texts first, and then went to find Grandpa Li. "Grandpa Li, don't you want to live? From the village to here. "
"I just asked someone else to pay for it, and now I have money? A round trip of 20 Wen. "Grandpa Li didn't look at this girl directly, she was only in her early 8 years old, and what she said was not credible.
"Grandpa Li, don't you have to bring someone back in the afternoon? You see pulling goods from the village, just take people back, or pull some goods, how good is this, 20 Wen is indeed expensive, you see how about 10 Wen, and I am a long-term business, once a day, do you think it is a good deal? Grandpa Li looked at this little girl and swore like that.
"Grandpa Li, I will vouch for it, besides, Chu Ying, you also know, now an orphan girl is pitiful, and you will not lose this business." Brother Wang whispered.
"Okay, but it's 12 Wen, the price is about the same, little doll. The cows still have to eat food and drink water. Grandpa Li immediately put on a bitter gourd face.
"Okay, then 12 Wen, can we pull it today?" Chu Ying's big round eyes are very cute, but she has been going out and tanning a lot these days.
"Okay, let's go." It took an hour to go back and forth, and these 12 Wen Chu Ying felt that it was worth it, the grass was stuffed with the entire ox cart, and Chu Ying sat next to Grandpa Li to save a seat and give the forage.
"Yo, it's fast, it's coming now." Uncle Qiu looked at the neat bundles of hay and felt that this girl looked small, but she was still very serious about doing things.
"25 bundles, 75 Wen, you see it right, little baby." Uncle Qiu took out a string of money and took out 25 copper plates, tied the rope to Chu Ying.
"Uncle Xie Qiu, I'll come later tomorrow, this is the time when your business is good, and I can't delay your business. You're busy. Chu Ying didn't talk nonsense, she took the money and gave it to Grandpa Li.
"The baby is very smart and knows how to come here to sell forage. Then tomorrow, you say, I'll go back to the village to pull the goods. Grandpa Li took the money and went to the teahouse.
Chu Ying looked at the 75 yuan, and the first thing that came to mind was to buy a sickle, which would get twice the result with half the effort.
But looking at the price in the blacksmith shop, it suddenly changed from the immediate feeling that I am a little rich to that I am still running to a well-off.
