Early the next morning, the uncle of the Yang family got up to pick watermelons, and picked thirty-two round watermelons, seven of which were picked from the roof.

Now there are a lot of watermelons on the roof, and if they are not picked in time, the roof will be crushed, and the house will not be repaired.

Eight large frames were placed on top of the car, straw was laid underneath, and leaves were covered on top to prevent the watermelons from breaking into each other. Once the watermelon breaks, it can't be sold for money.

Uncle Yang, Wulang, Balang, and Du Jiumei sat in front of the ox cart, took advantage of the mist in the morning to drive out of Dujia Village, and drove slowly to the county seat along the official road.

Du Jiumei was interested in everything around her along the way, even the flowers and plants around her. Ask this for a while, ask that for a while, rejoice along the way, and before you know it, you will arrive at the county seat.

paid 20 cents to enter the city, gave a watermelon to several officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and successfully entered the city gate.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and he pulled a big cart of watermelons, if he didn't give these soldiers guarding the door, don't think about it so easy to enter the city. Besides, they have to go into the city more than once, so make a good relationship as soon as possible.

Sure enough, those little soldiers, when they saw the watermelon, their eyes lit up, and their hearts were suffocated. But before they could speak, the uncle of the Yang family picked a big watermelon from the basket.

These little soldiers also earn hard-earned money on weekdays, and since the other party is so knowledgeable, they can't continue to be embarrassed, so they let a few of them pass.

The uncle of the Yang family walked on a big road, although there were many people, but the speed was not slow, and he soon arrived at the back door of the Zheng family.

As soon as the gatekeepers saw that it was the uncle of the Yang family, they had known each other for a long time, so they let them in.

Steward Zheng received the report, put down the hungry account book in his hand, and hurriedly went to the back door.

"Brother Yang, you are good at talking. Mrs. said, this watermelon is on the market early, if it is only sold to us, it will be forty yuan a catty, and when other watermelons are on the market, it will only be thirty yuan a catty. Steward Zheng said proudly, the first time he did such a thing, it was not to reduce the price, but to take the initiative to increase the price.

When the uncle of the Yang family heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and thanked again and again: "Mrs. is kind, Mrs. is kind." "The higher the price, the more money you can sell.

"That is, our Mrs. Zheng is a well-known good person in the county. All these watermelons are left, and I am overstated. Steward Zheng said with a smile, and the little guy who came over with him took the rod scale and weighed it basket by basket, and it would be good to remove the weight of the basket directly.

In the last box, after the eldest brother of the Yang family took out a watermelon, he asked the little guy to continue to weigh it.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing with it, weigh it together?" Steward Zheng asked curiously, a single watermelon is not easy to weigh, and hurriedly reminded the Yang family's uncle.

Uncle Yang smiled and said, "These watermelons are all home-grown, come here, how can you not honor your old age!" A watermelon is a piece of our heart, and please accept it. ”

Steward Zheng enjoyed the compliment of the Yang family's uncle very much, touched his beard, and said with a smile: "Good, good, it's rare for you to have a piece of your mind." I'll take it this time, don't do it next time, or I'll be angry. ”

"Hey, hey." The uncle of the Yang family smiled honestly, and when he got the care of others, he had to give benefits to others, and he would come and go often, so that everyone could get benefits.

Du Wulang watched Uncle Yang talk to Shopkeeper Zheng and learned a lot of things.

Thirty watermelons, a total of eight hundred and thirty catties, forty wen a catty, a total of thirty-three thousand two hundred wen, converted into silver thirty-three taels and two coins of silver. The shopkeeper Zheng directly gave thirty-four taels, and the watermelon sent by the uncle of the Yang family before was not given for nothing, because of the relationship between the shopkeeper Zheng, he gave an extra eight coins of silver.

Shopkeeper Zheng saw the three children behind Uncle Yang's family, and said with a smile: "This is your child?" ”

Uncle Yang smiled and said: "It's not my child, it's my sister's child, this watermelon is tossed out by their brothers and sisters, this time I heard that it was sold at a good price, so I came to thank Steward Zheng." ”

"Oh, so capable at a young age, the future is immeasurable." Steward Zheng praised and asked the servants to prepare a lot of snacks and some muslin.

From Mrs., I can see that I am very interested in watermelon, and maybe I will buy it next year, so I will build a good relationship first, and I can give priority to buying watermelon next year, and I am not afraid that others will be in front.

"Wulang, Hachilang, Ninth Sister, hurry up and thank Steward Zheng." Uncle Yang reminded.

"Thank you, Steward Zheng." Goro, Hachiro is decent, and he doesn't have the shyness of a country child.

Du Jiumei carefully observed Steward Zheng in the back just now, and found that this person was kind and kind, and the person who could be praised by the uncle of the Yang family must be a good person.

It is rare to come out once, of course Du Jiumei has to brush up on her sense of existence, and she said crisply, sweetly: "Thank you, Grandpa Zheng." ”

Hey, being called grandpa, especially a pink girl, the shopkeeper Zheng, who has two grandchildren, is very happy, and said: "Oh, this girl is clever, since she has called me grandpa, I have to give this meeting gift, you wait first, I'll go back and get it." ”

The uncle of the Yang family was stunned, and he didn't expect Du Jiumei to be so good at talking, but fortunately, he didn't see the displeasure on the face of the shopkeeper Zheng just now, so he didn't care.

As soon as the shopkeeper Zheng left, a fat boy wearing brocade ran from the moon gate, shouting as he ran: "I want to eat watermelon, I want to eat watermelon・・・・・・"

Yesterday, half of the watermelon was eaten by Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, and when Zheng Kai came back from the school, there were only two pieces left. Zheng Kaiming, this kid, eats delicious watermelon and can't wait to eat the watermelon skin.

Even if there was Uncle Yang and others, this little fat man didn't see it, there was only a round big watermelon with green skin patterns in his eyes, he looked east and west, and walked back with a big watermelon in his arms.

The little guy who followed behind him panted and said, "Little master, be careful, let's hold the little one, don't be tired of yourself." "It doesn't matter if the watermelon falls, but if it breaks the little master, the lady will not have to peel his skin!

Zheng Kai obviously didn't let go, and said: "I'll move it myself!" ”

But he is not big, and he is fat, and the flesh on his stomach is a small watermelon, and he holds a veritable big watermelon in his arms, which is as funny as it is.

"Haha." Du Jiumei couldn't hold back and laughed, crisp, like a silver bell.

Zheng Kaiming, who was tired and panting, was suddenly unhappy, turned his head and said angrily: "Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, she actually dared to laugh at the master?" ”

Du Jiumei hurriedly covered her mouth, she didn't hold back just now, she really didn't mean to laugh at this little fat baby. She just thought that this boy with a little tugging on his head was very cute.
