Chapter 11 Buying and Selling

Grandma Tian's husband used to be an intellectual, and it was hard for him not to dislike her for being a country woman. Grandma Tian is naturally influenced by her husband, so she is very unaccustomed to the patriarchal thinking in the countryside.

"I'm going to follow Grandma to sell tofu." Nianhua proposed.

Grandma went to work for her, and she was very uneasy. Grandma is about to turn seventy, and although she looks healthy, she is also external.

"You can play at home with the New Year's hat, there are many people in the tofu workshop, and Grandma can't take care of you." There are many people in the tofu shop, and if you are not careful, you can bump into it.

Nianhua couldn't help but feel a little sentimental: "I will take care of myself." She hated herself for being useless, if she was older, she would be able to help Grandma, and be a little girl selling tofu, she would be happy.

Grandma Tian blew the soy milk in her hand, pushed it in front of Nianhua, and said slowly: "Grandma knows that you are a good child." ”

yes.

He's a good boy, so be obedient.

is a good boy, so he has to prove himself as soon as possible, earn money as soon as possible, and let Grandma no longer work.

Nianhua silently swore in his heart.

The next day, she sent Grandma away, and she went to the road to the town.

When he arrived in the town, he ran to a parking shed, and seeing that there was no one around, Nianhua quickly took out the three baskets of fruits that he had prepared yesterday from the space.

Helplessly, she is now small, so she can only take out most of the fruits in each basket and cover them with a cloth, so that she will not know that there are actually only some fruits in the box if she doesn't look at them.

Hehe, just sneak the rest out when you get to the vegetable market!

Nianhua struggled to lift the basket like a thin man lifting weights, and she tried to make herself look as laid-back and calm. Clean clothes, thin figure, white and cute little face, two curved eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and the big eyes are full of depression.

This image attracted the attention of the old man who was passing by, and the old man pulled a wooden cart, which was full of cabbage and carrots.

He stopped beside her, "Sister-in-law...... Mother, come up, sit, and, empty, empty...... Seat. ”

The old man struggled to speak word by word, and his eyes exuded friendliness and sincerity.

Nian Hua thought that the old grandfather might be a stutterer, so he tilted his head and asked, "Is grandpa going to carry me?" ”

"Huh!" This time it was very hearty.

"Thank you, grandpa!" Nianhua put his three baskets of fruits on the car, but instead of getting into the car, he went to the back to help him push the cart.

When the old man saw her like this, he just spoke: "Little, girl, mother...... You ......"

"I'm too heavy for grandpa to carry."

The old man laughed loudly, but he didn't say anything, but he sighed in his heart, what a sensible child!

Said it was a cart, but in fact she didn't need to exert a lot of effort at all. Nianhua ran to the front and walked with the old man, chatting with each other.

Nianhua knew that his grandfather was a vegetable seller, and he was going to the vegetable market, just like her. Just hit the good luck on the trip, it seems that the morning will be very good!

The two arrived at the vegetable market, and there was a noise inside. It's only past six o'clock in the morning, and the owners of the market stalls have already arrived.

"Why is your fish so expensive, I said it's not fooling, right?"

"Oh girl, why do you say that, this is a crucian carp, you look fresh, you just caught it in the river!"

"I'll take another look at ......"

…………

There are sounds everywhere.

The old man will first move the old things down, and then move his own things to the stall.

There was no gap in the road, it was crowded with people, and the ground was wet. The stalls here are paid on a monthly basis, and they are already full. Yesterday, I thought that I could set up a stall at the exit and on the road without a seat, but now I don't even think about this situation.

Nianhua saw that there was still a vacancy in the old man's seat, so he walked over with a basket, "Grandpa, can I put these fruits here and sell them to you?" ”

The old man didn't speak.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't take too much of your seat." Nianhua raised his head and promised. I thought that grandpa was unwilling.

Grandpa was not unwilling, but was stunned by her words: "Little, girl...... You, one, people sell east and west? ”

A child who is only a few years old can sell things, and grandpa thought that she was going to sell with the family.

"Yes, grandpa, I'll sell it." Nian Hua raised a bright smile.

Grandpa obviously didn't believe her words, but was still very helpful and helped her put things on the shelf. I think if someone comes here to buy fruit, I will help her calculate, a child, don't be deceived!

"Old man Hu, today's cabbage is still so fresh, bring me two." It didn't take long for the first person to buy groceries. Only then did Nianhua know that his grandfather's surname was Hu.

"Okay."

Picked two cabbages and weighed them, and when the balance was balanced, Grandpa Hu said: "One, a total, five cents...... Fourth, points. ”

The man was a little impatient: "How much, five cents?" Here you go. ”

As he spoke, he threw down the money, picked up the bag and left.

"Hey, it's five cents and four cents, you give less money!" Nian Hua looked at Grandpa Hu angrily, "Grandpa Hu, he gave less money." ”

saw Grandpa Hu sigh, looking at it like this, the jawbones on his weather-beaten face were very prominent.

Grandpa Hu comforted her: "Forget it." ”

"Grandpa Hu, my name is Nianhua."

It seems that he used to be often taken advantage of by regular customers.

"Year, Hua." It's still a slow tone. Nianhua felt sad for Grandpa Hu.

"Oh, uncle, how do you sell this cabbage?" A woman asked, with a young boy about her age next to her.

"Two, Mao."

"Can't it be cheaper?" She had also heard that Old Man Hu was a stutterer, and the vegetables he sold were at a fixed price, not bargaining, but she couldn't help but say something.

"No, I can." Grandpa Hu said.

The woman thought about it, in fact, the price of the vegetables here was also kind, and the dishes were fresh, so she picked a few carrots and said, "Just these are the ones." ”

"Four, Mao, one, points."

"Auntie, four cents a point." Nianhua repeated it clearly, took the five dimes in the woman's hand, and found nine cents for her.

The movements were skillful, and Grandpa Hu on the side was stunned.

"What a clever child." The woman couldn't help but boast.

The little boy beside her was looking at Nianhua in a daze, and Nianhua smiled and said, "Auntie, is this your son, he looks so cute, you see that I still have some fruits here, buy some for my son to taste." ”

Sure enough, the woman smiled, who would dislike his son being praised by others, and looked at the basket of apples in the old age of red and bright, and asked, "How can this be sold?" ”

"Auntie, don't look at me as small, the price is very real, five cents and six cents a catty."

"Five cents and six, don't don't, it's too expensive!"

"How can you say it's expensive, you see this apple is big and round, and it tastes fresh, isn't it, little brother?" Nianhua held an apple and shook it in front of the little boy's eyes with a smile.

"Mom, I want to eat apples." The little boy tugged at the woman's arm, drooling.

"Look, it's cheaper." The woman unconsciously talked about the price with Nianhua. It's weird that she's going to bargain with a little girl here!

"Auntie, you are the first to buy my apples, I am cheaper, five cents and four."

"Five cents two."

"Okay."

Nianhua took the apple, and always felt that something was missing. Suddenly remembered, weighing, she actually forgot to bring the weigh! Fortunately, Grandpa Hu borrowed the weigher for her, and Nianhua will still use the weighing.

"Auntie, one piece two. I'll count you in, and I don't have any change to look for you. ”

The woman accepted it with joy, and thought to herself that this little girl really knew how to behave.

Grandpa Hu was incredulous on the side: "Xiao, Nian, Hua, you ......"

"Grandpa Hu, I said I would sell it."

Grandpa Hu really laughed, hehe couldn't stop laughing, as if he was his granddaughter in front of him. With honor.
