Ling'er happily thanked the proprietress of the bun shop, and made an appointment to sign the deed with her father and mother before the afternoon unitary, and then she knew that the proprietor of the bun shop was surnamed Wan, and familiar people called her Aunt Wan.

Ling'er ran home happily, and as soon as she entered the yard, she shouted: "Dad, mother, good things, good things, change clothes, let's go to town!" ”

The old lady stopped to look at her, frowned, and said, "Ling'er, didn't you cut bamboo?" Why don't you have a single bamboo for most of the day? ”

Ling'er ran to her father's side with a smile, took her father's arm and said, "Dad, mother, didn't we discuss going to the town to buy a shop last night?" I just went to the town to ask, and the grocery store near the market at the entrance of the town wants to sell, oh, by the way, it is next door to the bun shop, I asked Aunt Wan to help ask the price, and the shop yard is only twenty taels! ”

"It's only twenty taels!" The old lady exclaimed, "You girl, you have a big mouth?" Didn't you say last night that you wouldn't buy a shop, and that the money would be kept to buy a field? How do you ......"

"Oh, mother, my father promised me last night, and you didn't object, that's a promise! I've talked to everyone, I can't go if I don't go, mother, hurry, let's change my clothes! ”

Ling'er pushed the old lady to the house, and the old lady stomped her foot anxiously: "No, it's not okay to negotiate, we can't buy this shop!" What's the use of buying it? Can we still go to the town every day? What to do at home? It's only been a few days since this house was built, and I... I'm not going anyway! ”

Uh, I didn't expect the old lady to be so stubborn! Ling'er turned to her father for help, and the father squinted his eyes and took a few puffs of cigarette pouches, and said after a long silence: "Mother, give us twenty taels of silver!" ”

The old lady exclaimed: "Old man, Ling'er is a child, and she will fool around if she is not sensible, don't follow the coaxing!" ”

"Mother, how can people mess around? People want to do business seriously and earn more money to support their parents! ”

"Alas, Ling'er, look at your body, which one is so big in business? What's more, you're still a daughter's family, and everyone will laugh at you when you say it! ”

Ling'er's small mouth was raised high: "I'm not afraid of people laughing, as long as I can earn money, they can laugh as much as they like, Dad, come, I'll help you change your clothes!" ”

Dad stood up with Ling'er's strength, and really went into the house to change clothes, the old lady was angry and helpless, muttered in the courtyard for a while, and finally went into the room by herself to change clothes!

Waiting for the old lady to come out, Ling'er helped the old father and said with a smile: "Mother, did you bring the silver?" Don't run out of money when the deed is signed! ”

The old lady glared at her: "Do you think your mother is really confused?" ”

The family dressed neatly, talked and laughed to the town, and met many people in the village along the way, and they rarely saw Ling'er's family traveling together, and they were curious to inquire about the news.

Father and mother are real people, they will say whatever people ask, Ling'er is afraid that before the matter is completed, the people in the village will spread, and they don't know what it will become? So, as soon as someone asked, she rushed to the front and said that her father was in good shape and in a good mood today, and the whole family went to the town to buy something to celebrate Yunyun.

When they came to the town, Aunt Wan had been waiting at the entrance of the town for a long time, and when she saw Ling'er, she greeted her with a smile. When Ling'er introduced her father and mother to her, the surprise on Aunt Wan's face was undisguised! Ling'er has long been used to it, at her father's age, someone believes her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, but her father and mother are blushing and pinching the corners of their clothes, and they are embarrassed to look like a child!

Ling'er held her father's mother, and her sweet-mouthed aunt called her aunt and aunt shortly, but she was embarrassed to call Aunt Wan, and she didn't know what to call her father and mother for a while. Ling'er smiled and said: "Aunt Wan doesn't have to be embarrassed, I am a child that my mother picked up when she was over fifty years old and washed clothes by the river, and the aunts in the village call my father and mother Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, and treat me as their child for a lifetime!" ”

Aunt Wan was even more surprised when she heard this, Ling'er was so young, it was rare to be able to tell her life experience so clearly and calmly, which also made her look at Ling'er twice, and her good impression of Ling'er in her heart increased a few points.

Later, Aunt Wan asked Ling'er's family to wait in her shop, and she went to the other end of the town to find the grocery store lady to sign the contract, and there was a middle-aged man who came with her. It was not long after I arrived here last year that I was arrested by traffickers, and when I came back, I carried my own grocery store shopkeeper Uncle Jiang, and the proprietress of this grocery store that was going to change hands was Uncle Jiang's second sister.

Uncle Jiang was also a little surprised to see Ling'er, but since they were acquaintances, the contract was extremely simple, and the two parties signed and painted and went to the mayor to prepare the case, and it only took less than two quarters of an hour.

To send Uncle Jiang and the others away, the old lady turned the front and back of the shop yard several times, although it was messy inside, the old lady was chattering while watching, but the joy on her face was full, and she couldn't cover it!

When the yard was almost over, the old lady immediately rolled up her sleeves or tidied up the yard of the house and cleaned the room, Ling'er also went over to help, and the father found some usable in a pile of broken furniture, picked it up and repaired it, and threw it directly into a pile of firewood if it couldn't be used.

When the family was busy from mid-afternoon to dark, and finally cleared out most of the yard, when they washed their hands and prepared to go home, Aunt Wan brought her boy over with a basin of hot meat buns and a large pot of gruel, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, have been busy all afternoon, let's eat something?" ”

The old lady hurriedly wiped her hands to meet her, politely refused, and finally couldn't stand Aunt Wan's enthusiasm and took it. It's a pity that the yard here hasn't been cleaned up yet, and I can't even find a pair of dishes and chopsticks, so Aunt Wan thought about it and brought five pairs over, and a few people sat down in the courtyard, gathered around a table, and began to chat while eating.

Aunt Wan is a warm, generous and shrewd woman, her father-in-law recently found a job in the county seat, and only came back the evening before the market, and their family usually has their mother and son. His son Wan Liang was the same age as Ling'er, and he studied in the town school during the day and only returned home in the evening, so it was the first time Ling'er had seen the little boy.

What do you say, this boy is very similar to his mother, not only looks alike, but also talks and acts, his mouth is very sweet, look, a few words will make the father and mother laugh together, look at his eyes that roll from time to time, Ling'er knows that this guy is completely different from Xiaohuzi, you have to be careful when you talk and do things in the future, so as not to be seen by this kid to see any flaws!

During the meal, Aunt Wan said: "Uncle Yang, Aunt Yang, we will be neighbors in the future, our family usually is our mother and son, please take care of it more in the future!" ”

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Where is it?" Our family, old and young, can't help much, but we will have to trouble our big niece a lot in the future! ”

Aunt Wan smiled politely, then turned her eyes to look at Ling'er, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Aunt Yang, in fact, your shop Jiang Erniang originally asked for thirty taels of silver, I think Ling'er is a well-behaved girl, and she is the same age as our Xiaoliang, you must be a good neighbor when you come, so I specially asked Jiang Erniang to say it, although it took a little effort, but Erniang finally saw that you were missing ten taels of silver for the sake of the old neighbor!" ”

The old lady was surprised when she heard this: "Huh? And what's going on? That... Thank you so much to my eldest niece! ”

Aunt Wan smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a little bit of a tongue!" ”

Ling'er looked at Aunt Wan looking at herself from time to time, she smiled secretly in her heart, it turned out that Aunt Wan saw that she had bought a shop and taken care of her things, and she was afraid that she would forget or deliberately not give her the hard work fee of the two taels of silver that she promised! This was said in advance, so naturally she couldn't break her word, so Ling'er leaned into the old lady's ear and muttered a few words, while Aunt Wan looked at it with a smile.

The old lady looked at Ling'er in surprise when she heard this, Ling'er winked at her, she frowned a little distressedly, but after a while, she still took out a cloth bag from her arms, and hesitated to take out two taels of silver and pushed it in front of Aunt Wan: "Big niece, you have worked this matter, this... Two taels of silver should be our thank you gift, you must not be too little! ”

Aunt Wan smiled happily, and said politely: "Oh, no, no, no, the neighbors, just a few words, what kind of silver do you want!" ”

Ling'er directly stuffed the silver into her hand: "Aunt Wan, we are new here, and we are not familiar with the surrounding neighbors, and there will be more things to trouble you in the future, so you are welcome, accept it!" ”

Aunt Wan hesitated for a moment, and then slowly put the silver into her arms: "That... Then I will thank Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang, if you have anything to do in the future, just look for me, as long as I can help! ”

Aunt Wan, who got the silver, was even more enthusiastic, almost answering all questions, and taking the initiative to introduce them without asking. For example, the neighbors around here, the gossip in their respective homes, and all kinds of gossip in the town...... Ling'er pointed her ears and listened quietly.

For example, the neighbor of this shop, on the right is Aunt Wan's steamed bun shop, and on the right is a noodle restaurant, Aunt Wan seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the proprietress of the noodle restaurant, saying how his noodles are not good, and how his seasoning soup is fake.

On the left side of Ling'er's shop is a blacksmith shop, where there lives a bachelor who can't marry a daughter-in-law in his thirties, not because the blacksmith's family is poor or not good-looking, but because the blacksmith himself is unwilling to marry. Every time a matchmaker comes to the door, he loves to ignore it, and when he is annoyed, he will even take a hammer to drive people out.

Everyone was very curious about this bachelor, and they speculated about his identity and background, and some people even rumored that the bachelor blacksmith had a leg with a beautiful widow on another street.

Opposite Ling'er's shop is a study, which is opened by an old boy who has not passed the exam for decades, the old boy is very pedantic, and when he sees a down-and-out scholar, he always has to send some paper and pen money, if it weren't for his wife, his home might have been ruined long ago!

Then next door to the study is a ready-to-wear shop, and next door to the ready-to-wear shop lives a butcher who sells meat, and there are a lot of interesting stories in each of their families, and it is even more interesting in the mouth of Aunt Wan, who can speak well.

A few people kept chatting until the oil lamp ran out of oil late at night. In the end, Ling'er's family still borrowed a mat from Aunt Wan and covered the quilt overnight! (To be continued.)
