Zhang Xiaoqiang stayed in the village for a while, first the soybeans were ripe, helping to harvest the soybeans at home, and then corn and sorghum, although during this period there were still constant conflicts with Shen Cuihua and Li Xiangxiang, and it was Li Dabiao who stopped the excessive words and actions of his mother-in-law and woman.

During this period of time, Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen were also taken care of and helped as much as possible, and the bodies of the two children were much stronger than before. The day before leaving, she said to Zhang Yang: "Try to avoid Ou Chunhua at home, take care of yourself and your brother, and wait for her to come back to solve something." ”

On the morning of leaving, Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen came to see Zhang Xiaoqiang off, and she hired Wang Dashan's donkey cart to send her. In the reluctant eyes of the two younger brothers, they walked away.

She still rents the same guest house she used to live in. The gold coins that were originally exchanged have long been used up, and in addition to exchanging buns, there are also some daily necessities.

The owner of the guest house was very happy to see Zhang Xiaoqiang come back, because Zhang Xiaoqiang was her long-term tenant. She handed Zhang Xiaoqiang a pot of boiling water and said, "If you need anything, tell your sister, you're welcome." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang hummed and entered the room. She had already owned the house for a long time, so most of the things in it were added later. The hostess was also more polite to her.

The thin towel quilt in the house has been replaced with a thin quilt, and the sheets and quilt covers in the house are all newly washed, Zhang Xiaoqiang feels that she is still satisfied, and she specially explained it when she left.

I'm not going to go out today, so I'm just going to rest. Lying on the bed, stretching out the waist board, I was tired in the past few days of the autumn harvest. But when he lay down, he couldn't sleep, so he stretched out his palm and scanned the plane system to see if there was anything new.

As soon as I opened it, Chopper came, and at first glance, Chopper's dress today was quite cute. The feathers on her head were replaced with multicolored ones, and she winked at her with wide eyes. Zhang Xiaoqiang took a closer look, and Chopper's arm was injured, as if he had been caught by something. She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chopper said, "It doesn't matter if you have been caught a few times by a wild beaver, the patriarch has prayed and applied herbal juices." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang asked, "How can a good person be hurt by it?" ”

Chopper said, "Hunting, that's how most of our daily food comes from. By the way, can you help me get the tools for hunting? Just like this one. As he spoke, Chopper held a stick with a sharpened stone tied to it, similar to the tool of a spear.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "This is really primitive enough, I'll go out and see if I can find you some more advanced ones." ”

Chopper clasped his hands on his chest and said, "You are a good man, I thank you for my people." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang browsed some other planes, some of them came up directly to sell, and some of them were pulled and dragged hard, anyway, there were all kinds of things. She closed the plane and lay down for a while.

Zhang Xiaoqiang thought of promising Chopper, so she sat up and prepared to go around the county seat.

I've been here for some time, but I've never been to a place that's too far away. It's just empty today, so she can take a look. Walking along this north-south street, all the way north, there is a big bazaar, but it is only on Sundays, and it is usually just a few small vendors.

I heard the ding-ding-ding from afar, and followed the sound to look over, and it turned out to be a blacksmith shop. She walked over, and the blacksmith was quenching the beaten hoe, and sparks were scattered. Two young male apprentices, shirtless, were desperately pulling bellows, with some unformed iron objects on them. Finished iron tools are placed around, waiting for the Lord's house to pick them up.

Zhang Xiaoqiang stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who is the boss?" ”

The man who was quenching the hoe put down his work and came over, and said, "What's the matter, I'm the shopkeeper here, what is the matter with you?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked the man in front of him up and down, and said, "I want to find you to make a few iron tools." ”

"Okay, you sit down first, and I'll finish the work at hand." The blacksmith bowed his head and continued the work of his hands.

After a while, the blacksmith put the beaten hoe away, and then came over, wiping his sweat while asking Zhang Xiaoqiang what kind of iron tools he needed. Zhang Xiaoqiang described it in his imagination, and the blacksmith said: "I know, when I was a child, I saw my grandfather fight for hunters in the mountains, how much do you want?" Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "How much does it cost to make thirty first?" ”

The blacksmith said, "Fifteen dollars each, four hundred and fifty dollars in all, and a deposit of one hundred, and all the goods are paid when you take them." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang chuckled in her heart, it's expensive enough. However, in order to be able to do bigger business in the future, she gritted her teeth and gave a hundred first, and the blacksmith said that she would come to pick up the goods in a week, and Zhang Xiaoqiang thanked her and walked out of the shop.

Walking around, before I knew it, I was at the door of the hospital again. A few old customers saw her from afar, greeted her, and kindly asked her why she didn't come to set up a stall recently, Zhang Xiaoqiang explained one by one that she was going home to harvest autumn, and she would go out tomorrow, and everyone was welcome to continue to cheer.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was very happy to see these old customers thinking about her buns so much. At this time, an aunt in her fifties walked over, dressed neatly and neatly, with a kind face, and as soon as she saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, she asked, "Hello, girl!" It's been a long time since I've seen you, have you been doing something lately? ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang also knows this person, she is a customer who visits every day, and she is very polite and polite. Zhang Xiaoqiang stepped forward and shouted, "Auntie! ”

"Girl, I miss the smell of your buns so much!" This aunt held Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand, just like an old friend who hadn't seen her for a long time.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "I went home to harvest autumn, and I will officially come out of the stall tomorrow." ”

"Yes, that's great, my old man is still angry at me because he hasn't eaten buns in the past few days, hehe!" Auntie was very happy to hear the news that Xiaoqiang was going to come out of the stall tomorrow, "My surname is Wen, you can just call me Aunt Wen." My house is not far from here, and my old man can't move, so I often come to the hospital to get medicine for him. I saw that your buns were good that day, and after I bought them back, the old man liked them very much, so I came to buy them every day, and you weren't there recently, and the old man was a little unhappy. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang was full of affection for this Aunt Wen, and when she heard that her aunt's husband couldn't move, she said, "Then Uncle is okay, what's wrong with him?" ”

Aunt Wen also liked the clean and beautiful little girl in front of her, so she told Xiaoqiang: "Your uncle's surname is Ji, and it turns out that he and I are in the same unit, and we belong to public institutions and do scientific research." The year before last, at the intersection in front of me, there was a car driving too fast, and your Uncle Ji happened to take our granddaughter across the road, and he pushed his granddaughter away in a hurry, and he was injured. In the end, I was found to have injured my nerves, so I am still in a wheelchair. ”

"Oh, Auntie, it's not easy for you, you and Uncle are both good people!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said.
