When she went to the town, Jinxiu took Jinyu into the Liu Ji pharmacy where she had purchased her ginseng and other medicinal materials, and the shopkeeper Liu thought that they had medicinal materials to sell, and Jinxiu smiled and said that she couldn't go up the mountain in the rain, and she just came to buy a few medicinal herbs with spice effects today.

The young man listened to Jinxiu report the name of the herb, so he weighed it according to the amount she said, and the shopkeeper Liu asked Jinxiu what he was buying these for? Jinxiu said that the farm was idle and had nothing to do, and wanted to make some bath beans for his own use, but the shopkeeper Liu was speechless, and his heart said that in the past few years, the village aunts have paid attention to it.

Out of the pharmacy, Jinxiu said that he would buy a big iron pot, and Jinyu was surprised: "Do you want a big iron pot?" If it costs a lot of money, you can use the pot for cooking rice at home! ”

Jinxiu looked at her helplessly, a little miser, and had to coax: "Those two pots are very small, and one of them is still missing!" Don't you think it's a hassle to boil water in a small pot? Let's buy a big one today to boil water for bathing, rest assured, when the weather is fine, I will go up the mountain to find some matsutake mushrooms to sell, and I can earn it back! ”

Jinyu took her to the west of the town, and Jinxiu asked, "Why are you going that way?" No one has no shop anymore! ”

Jinyu said: "It's better to buy an iron pot or go to the iron shop to buy, there are two iron shops in the town, we don't know anyone in the east iron shop, and the west iron shop, the eldest aunt is there to make iron!" ”

Jinxiu listened and said, "Just the one surnamed Tie?" What the hell uncle, he and Feng Zaohua deducted our money together! If you go, you have to give him a pit! ”

"What then? Go to the blacksmith in the east? ”

"Well, let's go there!"

There are three shops in the east of the town, three sides are open and covered with thick wooden veneer is the iron room, the other two are mud brick walls and black tile roofs, one has a container with all kinds of beaten ironware, one is separated into the inside and outside, the outside is connected with the container room, there is a square table, a few stools, it is for the guests who buy goods to take a break and bargain.

Jinxiu and Jinyu walked to the shop, curiously touched the made hoes, sickles, firewood knives and all kinds of commonly used instruments, to put it in the past, Jinxiu would not look at these things more, after being a village girl for so long, she was actually interested in these things, in the countryside, these are very useful!

A tall man with a long beard in the iron-striking room glanced at them, shouted into the room, and continued to strike iron.

There was a person walking out of the room, a little girl about the same age as Jinyu, and asked her sister what she wanted to buy?

Jinxiu was about to speak, but Jinyu pointed to the little girl and said in surprise: "Huh? Isn't this Cui'er? ”

The girl was also pleasantly surprised: "It turned out to be Jinyu!" This is Sister Jinxiu, right? ”

Jinyu walked over and held hands with the girl, then turned back to Jinxiu and smiled: "Sister, this is Guan Cuier in the west of our village, she is the same year as me!" A few years ago, I went to live at her uncle's house, but I didn't expect to see her here! ”

Jinxiu smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Sister Cui'er!" ”

Guan Cuier also walked over and took Jinxiu's hand and said, "I went to my third uncle's house, and at that time, the third uncle and the third aunt had no children, so they took me to raise ...... The third uncle's house is in a village on the edge of the town, I have to come to help my second uncle wash clothes and clean up the house, and there are people from our Dongshan Village in the future, and I have heard about your family's affairs and Sister Jinxiu. Sister, I'm sorry, I can't go back to see you and my aunt! ”

Jinxiu hurriedly said: "It's okay, thank you for remembering!" ”

learned the tone of his mother in his previous life and hit Jinyu: "Look, Sister Cui'er is much more sensible than you, well-behaved and able to talk!" Learn something! ”

Jinyu giggled indifferently, but Guan Cuier was a little proud, pulled the sisters to sit at the table, poured tea, and ran to the iron room to say a few words to the tall man, and the man walked over.

Both Jinxiu and Jinyu were taken aback: such a tall and sturdy man turned out to be a cripple!

Guan Cuier had already run back first, and said to the sisters: "This is my second uncle, you haven't seen it, I don't recognize him when he just came back!" My second uncle was originally killing pigs and selling meat in the town, but his legs and feet were not good, and he was soaked in cold water and it hurt. ”

Jinxiu asked: "Since it is a village, why haven't we seen it?" ”

"I went to the border in my early years and left home for more than ten years, so you don't recognize me!"

Second Uncle Guan dragged one leg and walked slowly step by step, with a beard on his face, he couldn't see his facial features clearly, and he looked fierce, but his eyes were very bright and honest, and he could see that he deliberately wanted to show a gentle and friendly expression, I was afraid that he would scare the little girl, right?

Jinxiu looked at his legs and thought he was quite pitiful.

The two sisters stood up and shouted in unison, "Second Uncle Guan." ”

Second Uncle Guan nodded, sat down on a stool, and Guan Cuier introduced them one by one: "Uncle, this is Sister Jinxiu, this is Jinyu, and they also have a younger sister called ......"

"It's called Jinyun, right?" Second Uncle Guan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "During the market day, many people in our Dongshan Village came to the store to rest, and they were all talking about your family, and I heard it. Your mother's illness is healed now, right? ”

Jin Yu said: "My mother can walk on the ground and cook on the fire." ”

"That's good!" Second Uncle Guan said: "I am two years younger than your father, at that time your father married your mother, and the village boys formed a welcoming team, and I also went!" Your mother is very good, but it's a pity...... It's all the Feng family who is not kind! A few of you mothers can live well, what iron utensils are missing, come to the second uncle to get it, don't need money! ”

"That's not going to work!" Jinxiu smiled: "It's good that the second uncle gives us a discount, we have a way to make money, really!" ”

Jinyu also said: "Our sisters went to the mountains to hunt mountain goods a few days ago, and my sister found a lot of good things and earned enough money for the house foundation, and planned to buy land by herself and build a new house by herself!" ”

Second Uncle Guan was also very happy to hear it: "That's so good! ”

Then he asked, "Are you hungry?" Let Cui'er cook and eat, and the second uncle will go to the market to cut some pork for you to cook! ”

Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Second Uncle Guan is welcome, we have lunch, this will be to buy a big iron pot to boil hot water!" ”

Second Uncle Guan got up and went to help them choose: "This, this is good, the ears are strong!" But it's heavy, how do you get it back? ”

Jin Yu said: "Our sisters will each take one side and go back like this." ”

"It's just raining, the road is so slippery, can you do it?"

Second Uncle Guan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you leave the iron pot here, Second Uncle will have to go back to the village early tomorrow morning, and then there will be an ox cart to pick him up, and by the way, bring your iron pot back, what's the matter?" ”

"That's good, it's just troublesome second uncle!" Jinxiu said with a smile.

"It's nothing, stop by the way!"

Jinxiu asked: "Will the second uncle's ox cart tomorrow sit on more than one person?" ”

Second Uncle Guan replied after a pause: "It's not much, just my brother will pick me up, two of you, what are you going to do?" ”

Jinxiu smiled at the Jinyu ghost and said, "I'll go buy two more barrels and tubs, and the second uncle will help me bring them back together!" ”

"It's done!" Second Uncle Guan readily agreed.

Jinxiu paid the money for the iron pot first, and Uncle Guan said that people in the village came to his iron shop to buy things, and the first time they were half price, and the Jinxiu sisters were no exception.

Jinxiu paid the price according to the price said by Second Uncle Guan, this is the kindness of the neighbors, bear it, and it is not that they will not deal with it anymore.

Jinxiu and Jinyu went to the market, and Guan Cuier had to wash the clothes for the second uncle, so she didn't go.

As a result, Jinxiu not only bought two new wooden barrels and two new wooden basins, but also stuffed the wooden barrels and wooden basins with new bowls, chopsticks, new dishes and new tile basins.

The goods were sent to the iron shop by the shopkeeper to be placed, and Jinxiu said to the second uncle Guan: "There are straw pads in the dishes, and the second uncle doesn't have to worry about breaking them - if it is broken, forget it, don't blame the second uncle!" ”

Second Uncle Guan repeatedly promised that he would not break it for her.

Jinxiu also bought five boxes of dim sum at the Baixiang Pastry Shop, and kept two boxes for herself, one box for Guan Cui'er, and two boxes for Uncle Guan.

Guan Cuier and Second Uncle Guan refused to ask for it, and Jinxiu said to Guan Cuier: "I'm my sister, can't I buy a box of snacks for my sister?" You don't just don't want to call me a sister! ”

Guan Cui'er happily took it.

Jinxiu said to Second Uncle Guan again: "Second Uncle has helped us so much, I can't buy it when I see that Second Uncle is guarding the store, but I have to go home early tomorrow morning, there are children at home, I have to get some food, right?" These two boxes of pastries, just when I also do the second uncle a favor! ”

Second Uncle Guan smiled and nodded: "That's done!" ”

Then the sisters said goodbye to Uncle Guan and Guan Cuier and went home from the town.
