Chapter 9: Returning Home

Yun Xiang's words made the proprietress guess for a while, but in her heart, she already had all kinds of disdain for Liu Chengwen, the eldest of the Liu family, and Liu Chengquan, the fourth eldest of the Liu family. I eat and drink spicy food, wear gold and silver, and let my brother's family not even have a new dress, this is still not separated! can be so indifferent to his nephews and nieces, these children are all thin and small, but they are not as good as the children of ordinary Zhuang families.

Yun Xiang accepted the silver ticket and signed the contract. The proprietress counted the buttons that Yun Xiang brought, ten of each type, a total of fifty. Each of the five cents is a total of two hundred and fifty cents. Yun Xiang accepted the money with a black line on her face, and then stuffed some of the leftovers she had saved in the past five days into her baggage and left on her back.

With money, Yunxiang didn't plan to treat herself badly, she went to a wonton stall, asked for a small bowl of wontons, and then went to buy five large buns with meat filling. Instead of rushing home, she wandered around. She must learn more about the world in order to change the situation of her family of six as much as possible.

A familiar figure flashed, and Yun Xiang frowned tightly. Second uncle? Today should be the day when she works at home, and she actually came to the town, so needless to say, her mother is on duty today.

During this time, Zhou's performance was very good, not his own days just hiding in his own house and secretly making new buttons, even Yunlian just followed her mother to feed chickens and pigs. I didn't take the initiative to work on my own in the days of the second uncle.

The second uncle sued Liu Wang's family, but no matter how Liu Wang's scolded him, the family made up their minds not to be wronged, at most, they only agreed in person, and turned around and didn't care if they should do it or not. Anyway, the original rule of this family is to cook and do housework in shifts.

In this way, the second aunt had no choice but to put her two sons at home to help when she was on shift. And Yunxiang's family also had a rare idle time for a few days.

Yunxiang was small, and chased after him under the cover of others, and saw the second aunt and an aunt sitting in the teahouse whispering. That aunt knew what she was doing at a glance, and that dress was simply iconic. She smiled, it turned out that she was looking for a matchmaker, did she want to kiss Brother Erlang? But when you go out on a day that you specialize in your own work, you must have been lazy.

Too lazy to care about this, Yun Xiang quietly retreated, she still had something important to buy! Not far away, there is a shop that specializes in selling the four treasures of the study. It looks very leisurely there, and that's because there are only a few people who read books, and besides, these things are not cheap.

Even the cheapest pen, paper and ink strips cost nearly a hundred cents. Sure enough, it is difficult to supply readers. The average farmer doesn't make much money a year by farming and raising pigs. Women do some embroidery work subsidies, a handkerchief is only a few yuan, and the purse is no more than ten yuan.

The old Liu family has spent a lot of money in order to provide Liu Chengquan with education over the years, right? Yun Xiang sighed, it must be for Shiro and Goro to study, in this dynasty, reading is the most reliable way to turn over. Isn't there a saying, one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading. This shows that reading is also a way to change fate. Thinking of this, Yun Xiang suddenly realized, it turns out that this is how knowledge changes fate!

It was the time of dinner for a family, and Yun Xiang saw Yun Lian and Shiro looking forward to each other at the entrance of the village. She walked over quickly, "Sister, brother, why don't you eat at home?" I've said it, and I don't have a problem. ”

"Tell me more! If you don't come back so late, my mother is worried to death! Yun Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "My mother has replaced the second uncle today, and I can't pick you up by myself." So I came over with Shiro. Left and right is just a matter of one less meal, as long as you come back well, we are relieved. ”

Shiro took Yunxiang's burden, frowned and asked, "Why are there more things than when I went?" So heavy? ”

Yun Lian looked at the burden and said worriedly, "Isn't it sold yet?" It's okay, let's go to the market and sell it ourselves. It just can't be sold, and it's best for us to use it ourselves. ”

Yun Xiang's heart was warm, "If you don't have anything to eat, you won't eat, I bought you meat buns!" Pure meat! It costs two pennies a piece! ”

"What? It's too extravagant! Yun Lian frowned, "You are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately in the future!" ”

"Sister, look at a few of our heads and bodies, no matter how good we eat, how can we catch up with others!" Yun Xiang said as she walked, "Especially Brother and Xiao Wu, but they are the pillars of our family's future!" It's not okay to be thin. ”

Shiro smiled, "As long as you have a lot of reason, let's hurry up and put the things in the house while there is no one." Otherwise, if we pass the eyes of others, not only will we not have to eat, but we will also have to be interrogated! ”

The three of them quietly went back to the house, Shiro went to the hall to take a look, and sure enough, he didn't leave them food, so he went back to the house with Xiao Wu and his father and mother who had eaten and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

When Zhou came back, he said with a straight face, "You kid, you don't count, you are not allowed to come back so late in the future!" ”

Yun Xiang pulled Zhou Shi to the kang, "Mother, I came back at this point on purpose, otherwise how would I bring back such a big burden!" With that, she motioned for Shiro to close the door and opened the baggage she had brought back. Lo and behold, I'm bringing back five big buns! ”

Zhou and Liu Chengshuang both took out most of the steamed buns from their sleeves, "Yes, your father and I still snatched the white-flour steamed buns for you!" "Since that day, the distribution method of white-flour steamed buns has become that of those who are fast.

"Let's eat together!" Yun Xiang divided the buns, one for each of the others, and half for her and Xiao Wuyi. "Eat quickly, we made a lot of money today!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Yun Xiang, who smiled and said, "How much do you guess that handkerchief was sold for?" ”

"You embroider so beautifully, you need a hundred wen to say the least!" Zhou still knows a little about the market. "I can't even afford to sell it!"

"A tael of silver!" Yun Xiang said proudly, "A handkerchief is five coins of silver!" Yun Xiang took out the money and put it on the kang, regardless of the stunned number of people, she continued, "Fifty Panniu sold for two hundred and fifty yuan, five yuan each, and she will collect it if we do it in the future, but there will be more people in the future and there will be no such high price." ”

"Great!" Zhou choked, "In the future, with this way of making money, we can also have two living money in our hands, and we are not afraid of being blind when we encounter things." ”

"Mother, I took it upon myself to buy steamed buns, and then spent ninety-three yuan to buy a pen and a paper for my brother and Xiaowu to practice big characters. I also bought an ink strip. ”
