"Yes, it's naturally easy to find the right person, I have a way here!"

"Really!" The old lady immediately became interested.

"Shh Sister-in-law Kang looked around vigilantly, and then whispered: "Auntie, you be quiet, you can't let too many people know about this kind of thing, or everyone will find a way, and everyone will come to open a rice and grain shop, what else will you make at that time?" ”

The old lady thought for a moment and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the eldest niece has a point!" That ......"

"Auntie, as soon as I see you, I feel that I have fallen in love with you, why don't you go to my shop and sit down, let's talk slowly?"

The old lady hesitated to look at the direction of the town, and the woman pulled her and said: "Auntie, the most taboo thing to do business is to be untrustworthy and rebellious, since your girl has promised that people will start to harvest grain tomorrow, if you don't accept it or the price is not appropriate, no one will dare to come to your shop in the future!"

I see, the price is still secondary, you can collect a few loads of millet at the price of three cents tomorrow, and then find an excuse to close the door, and then collect it after adjusting the price, the top priority is to get the official documents to the most important, or whether you make money or lose money, your heart is not steady! Do you say? ”

The old lady thought about it, nodded yes again and again, and followed Sister-in-law Kang into the ready-to-wear shop opposite. And here Ling'er has already turned the town around half a circle, found a carpenter shop to bargain, made a simple plaque, and bought a few pieces of old furniture by the way, and the two sides agreed to deliver it before tomorrow.

After doing this, Ling'er jumped to her own shop, and when she passed by the bun shop, Aunt Wan stopped her: "Ling'er, hey, Ling'er, come here!" ”

Ling'er greeted with a smile in the past: "Hello Aunt Wan, I borrowed your mat bedding last night, and I will return it to you in a while!" ”

"Don't worry, Ling'er, come and sit down!"

"No, Aunt Wan, my father and mother are still packing up at home, I have to go back to help!"

"How? I just went to your shop to see it, and your father is mending the shelves in the backyard alone, your mother......" Aunt Wan winked at her and whispered: "Ling'er, come here, I'll tell you!" ”

Ling'er looked at her mysteriously, and couldn't help but be curious, so she leaned over: "Aunt Wan, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

Aunt Wan stared at the ready-to-wear shop opposite, blinked and said, "Your mother was pulled away by Sister-in-law Kang from the shop opposite!" ”

Ling'er looked at the opposite side and saw that the ready-to-wear shop had opened its door, and there was a cloth curtain hanging at the door, so she couldn't see the situation inside. She thought for a moment and said, "Probably...... It's my mother who is tired of cleaning up, so she went over to hang out, right? ”

"Silly girl, tell you, that sister-in-law Kang is different from us, she is not an honest businessman!"

Ling'er was taken aback, don't do honest business? What's that for? She looked at Aunt Wan inquiringly, and Aunt Wan looked around, it was already past dinner at this time, the afternoon was hot, there were very few pedestrians on the road, and naturally there was no business. So she pulled Ling'er into her shop, sat down and poured two bowls of tea, and pushed one bowl to Ling'er: "Come, drink!" ”

Ling'er is worried about the old lady, how can she have the heart to drink tea? "Aunt Wan, what's going on? My mother... My mother she'll be fine, right? ”

Aunt Wan was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Silly girl, do you think that sister-in-law Kang is a bandit who robbed the house?" Don't worry, your mother will be fine, but ......."

"But what?"

Aunt Wan looked at the other side, shook her head and said regretfully: "It's too late now, look, your mother is out!" ”

Ling'er looked at the situation, and sure enough, she saw two women standing at the door of the shop opposite, the old man's back was obviously his own mother, and the two women were talking hand in hand, just like a mother and daughter, Ling'er frowned!

You must know that the old lady has always been an honest and conservative and somewhat shy and polite person, and she generally knows that she looks at it with a smile and rarely speaks, is the woman in the opposite shop her relative?

"Poof~~ Ling'er, look at your mother!" Aunt Wan suddenly laughed, Ling'er took a closer look, and was stunned for a moment, this ...... What is this? Look at the old lady's wrinkled old face, like a few layers of lime, white and white, and even more exaggerated is the black eyebrows and eyes and her blood-red mouth!

Ling'er couldn't help but shudder, and Aunt Wan on the side couldn't stand up with a straight waist, Ling'er was embarrassed, and quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Wan, I... I'll go back first, and come to our house for tea when I have time! ”

Aunt Wan laughed breathlessly, how could she respond. As soon as Ling'er got out of the bun shop, she took out a handkerchief and rushed straight to the old lady! When the old lady saw Ling'er, she was very happy, and came over happily with her little feet and said, "Ling'er, you're back, look, how are my clothes?" ”

Ling'er paused, looked down at her clothes, this is a new skirt with red flowers on a white background, and there are a few blue cloth flowers on the sleeves and skirt corners that can't be seen...... Appalling!

Ling'er patted her head in pain, turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, is this really her own mother? Could it be that the woman just dropped the bag?!

The old lady raised her orchid fingers and twisted her sideburns and said, "Ling'er, look, the eldest niece said that I was at least twenty years younger when I wore it like this, so I would only be in my thirties now!" Hehe, Ling'er, if someone asks you how old your father is in the future, you will say... Just say thirty years old, so no one will laugh at you! ”

Ling'er was stunned, looked up at the old lady, and saw that the white ash foam on her whitewashed face fell straight down, and the wrinkles on her face could never be erased like deep grooves, and after laughing, the bottom of the ditch suddenly became a rolling mountain, and it couldn't be cut!

Ling'er was sad and uncomfortable, she grabbed the old lady's arm and pulled it to her own shop, and the old lady said anxiously: "Oh, Ling'er, slow down, slow down, don't tear the skirt, there are still things, don't drop things!" ”

Ling'er pulled the old lady to the backyard of the shop in one breath before letting go, and the father who was repairing the shelves turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw the old lady, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the old lady blankly! The old lady was a little embarrassed, pinched her orchid finger and touched her sideburns, blushed and said embarrassedly: "She... Her father, I... I don't look good in this dress! ”

With a "bang", the tools and wooden strips in Daddy's hand fell to the ground, bounced off and smashed on Daddy's feet, but Daddy seemed to feel nothing at all, and still looked at the old lady blankly.

The old lady was a little worried, so she went over to take a look: "Old man, are you okay?" ”

Dad was silent for a long time, and then said, "You... Who are you? ”

The old lady paused, her face turned red, and she said angrily: "Dead old man, our old husband and wife have been for decades, and even I can't recognize it?" ”

"Old ...... Old woman? ”

"Isn't it who I am? You old man, do you still want to find a young girl when you are old? ”

Dad closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he said with a dark face: "Old woman, how did you make yourself look like this?" People don't recognize ghosts or ghosts, and you're not afraid of being embarrassed? Quick, go wash your face, change your clothes, really, you're old, and you're still doing this, like what? ”

The old lady was stunned in the courtyard for a while, and shouted into the house: "Old man, what did you say?" I... What's wrong with my clothes? This... This is specially cut for me by my eldest niece, two taels of silver! And this fat powder......"

"Bang!" Something fell to the ground in the house, and after a while, the old man appeared at the door, his face was darker than before, and he glared at the old lady and said, "What did you say?" Just a few pieces of fancy rags, two taels of silver? You're confused, aren't you? ”

The old lady paused, looked down at the clothes on her body, frowned and thought for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "Yes, it's just a few pieces of flower cloth, how can you get two taels of silver?" Sizzle~~~ Why did I buy this dress? ……”

The old lady walked to the wing room with a confused face, and Ling'er saw that she was carrying a burden in her hand, so she asked, "Mother, where did you get that burden?" ”

"Baggage?" The old lady looked down, thought for a while, became happy, and beckoned to Ling'er: "Ling'er, come, look at the new clothes that my mother bought for you, as well as fat powder jewelry, come and try it, does it fit or not?" ”

"Clothes!" Ling'er is embarrassed, can't she buy it from the ready-to-wear store opposite? Looking at the set on the old lady, you can imagine what the effect of the set in the burden will be! That's right, silver! Ling'er hurriedly asked, "Mother, how much silver did the things in this bag cost?" ”

"Huh? This one...... It seems like... It seems to be three or two! ”

"Three or two!" Ling'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, oh my God, is this still the old lady who used to pick and search and hesitate for a long time to spend a penny? What did the sister-in-law Kang do to the old lady on the other side to make her spend money so crazy!

Thinking of Aunt Wan's words at the bun shop just now, Ling'er finally understood a little, no wonder she said that Sister-in-law Kang is not doing serious business! The old lady is such an honest and thrifty old woman all her life, but she was fooled by her for five taels of silver after a while, so Sister-in-law Kang won't drug the old lady, right?!

Ling'er stepped forward to take the burden of the old lady, opened it and looked at it, there was indeed a set of clothes inside, fortunately, it was not too unconventional, it was just a miniature version of the dress on the old lady, and then there was some rouge gouache or something, as soon as I smelled the pungent smell, I knew that it was not a good thing!

"Spirit... Ling'er, you... Do you say that the mother is... Did it cost five taels of silver? ”

Ling'er looked up and saw that the old lady's face was extremely ugly, and her already white face became miserable! Oops, the old lady has come to her senses, she must be angry if she wants to understand that she has spent the silver of the past year but only bought a few tattered goods!

She hurriedly comforted: "No, mother, I think Aunt Kang must be joking with you, I'll go to her, let's return all this thing, ah!" ”

Ling'er ran to the door with her baggage, and suddenly heard the old lady shouting: "Wait! ”

Ling'er turned around and looked at the old lady: "Oh, mother, do you want to replace this body on your body, let's take it back together!" ”

The old lady stood in place and stared at Ling'er stunned for a long time before she spit out a few words: "Can't retreat!" (To be continued.)
