After Ling'er's new house was built, the original two old houses looked very dilapidated! Ling'er saw that it was empty, so she suggested tearing down a few dilapidated houses, leaving only the kitchen, and building two more when the spring weather was better.

But my father and mother said that I had lived in the old house for many years, and I looked at the intimacy and demolished the emptiness in my heart. The family discussed it and decided to ask someone to overhaul the roof of the old house, and then use a few pieces of wood to reinforce the corners and beams, and the old house was temporarily used as a firewood room or utility room, so that Ling'er also had a place to store the firewood in the deserted courtyard of the back mountain.

Then, Ling'er spent three days moving all the firewood from the back mountain back and stacking it neatly in the old house. The firewood has been dried for half a month, and the weight is much lighter than before, and it actually occupies a whole old house when stacked!

Father and mother were dumbfounded when they saw it, you must know that the couple has been going into the mountains to collect firewood every year before winter, but the two have never got so much firewood! I didn't expect that the stupid girl who had been stupid for six years was so capable, and the old couple was happy when they thought about it, and they couldn't close their mouths happily every day.

On the day of the fifteenth day of the winter month, Ling'er and the old lady still boiled the medicine first, settled the father, and then went into the village together to find Uncle Rong at Grandpa Huzi's house, planning to take his ox cart to the town. By the time they arrived, Xiaohu and her father had already arrived, and there were already a few boxes of things on the ox cart.

After Ling'er got into the car, Xiaohuzi leaned over and whispered, "Hey, Ling'er, have you heard?" That kid from Wang Yuanwai's family is in trouble again in the county! ”

Ling'er thought about it, it turned out that he was talking about the little overlord Wang Fugui, Ling'er said indifferently: "What's so strange about this, it's strange that he doesn't cause trouble!" ”

"You don't want to know what he's doing?"

"What's the trouble?"

"Hehe, I heard that his father sent him to study in the best school in the county, that master is the most famous master in our county, he was a lifter when he was young, and he also worked as an official, and his students are all rich young masters.

Wang Fugui is used to being powerful in our rural place, and he still looks like that when he goes to the school, he is running back with a full ass urine flow by the young masters in the school within a few days, sneer~~~ It's funny to think about it! ”

"His temper, sooner or later someone will teach him a lesson, what kind of trouble is this?"

Xiaohuzi paused, "This is not over, he ran home and didn't want to go to school, so he was repaired by the old man and sent to the school." I don't know why, he only went for a long time, and he got into trouble with that group of young masters again, and he even set fire to the school! ”

"Huh? Burn the school? Hurt someone, didn't you? ”

"Yes, I don't know if I hurt anyone, but the master and the other young master's family members are very angry! Hehe, I think this old man must be restless! Oh, by the way, Wang Fugui was sent back to the village yesterday, and when I saw him, he looked very embarrassed! ”

"Dead boy, what nonsense? The old man's family is not restless, and we are not at peace! ”

"Oops, oops, mother, let go, let go, my ears are soon!"

"Dead boy, go to the town to be smart, take care of things, dare to throw one, the old lady will cut off your ears and drink wine!"

"Woo~~~ Got it, mother!" Little Huzi rubbed his ears timidly, he had always heard that Huzi Niang was spicy, and he had never had the opportunity to see it before, but this time he understood it!

Seeing Ling'er looking at herself in a daze, Huzi Niang smiled, "Ling'er, your brother Huzi is stunned, he doesn't understand anything, he knows how to mess around all day long, don't learn from him, ah!" ”

Ling'er smiled lightly and nodded slightly: "Got it, Aunt Fu!" ”

A group of people sat in an ox cart swayed to the entrance of the town, at this time the sky was not yet fully bright, the surrounding began to fog, the visibility was only about ten meters, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the people to rush to the market, the shouts of the hawkers, the bargaining of the farmers came and went, the square at the entrance of the town was full of stalls, as lively as the first time.

Today, Ling'er's mother and daughter came only to buy winter goods, there are no things for sale, everyone else has to go to the market to set up stalls, everyone says goodbye to each other, the old lady takes Ling'er with her little feet to protect the money bag in her arms and shuttles through the crowd.

There were so many people in the market that they were moving slowly almost foot to foot. The old lady wanted to buy some cotton and cotton cloth from the peasants, and go home to make her own cotton jackets and quilts, so that it would be at least half cheaper than going to the shop to buy ready-made.

The two of them wandered from the beginning of the hour until the middle of the hour, and the crowd gradually loosened up, some of them were ready to go home after selling their things, and some went to the town to buy things that were not in the market. The old lady went around shopping around, seeing that other people's things were about to sell out, she hurriedly went up to bargain, everyone knows that the remaining things are sold to the end, regardless of the quality or the price is much cheaper!

The old lady scraped together to buy leftover rice and grain, this one is about ten catties, that one is twenty catties, and unconsciously fills the burlap bag that can hold one or two hundred catties; Cotton is also half a catty of the east and two of the west, and the good and bad are mixed together, which is nearly 20 catties!

Although there is no problem for Ling'er to move these weights, the twenty catties of cotton are larger than the size of the mother and daughter, and they are very eye-catching when they walk in the market. Ling'er looked around and saw a row of big trees on the edge of the market, where many people were resting and chatting, so she suggested that the things should be moved over, one person watched, and the other went to buy.

The old lady agreed, Ling'er carried one or two hundred catties of hemp bags, and the old lady carried a seemingly large bag of cotton but only twenty catties to the side, fortunately, everyone thought that Ling'er was also carrying cotton, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of commotion!

Originally, Ling'er wanted the old lady to look at things and go shopping by herself, but the old lady was not at ease, so she insisted that Ling'er stay, and she gave a thousand instructions before turning back and walking away. Ling'er had no choice but to stay, sitting on the sack and looking around, and soon she found that many of the men sitting and chatting under the big tree were woodcutters selling firewood! They were not chatting, they were bargaining, and Chai He was next to them.

Ling'er specially paid attention to the price of firewood, where the price is asked, the woodcutter's asking price is fifty wen a load, of course, that is the asking price, people who really want to buy will generally stop around the bundle of firewood to touch and look at it, bargain down, about twenty-five wen or so!

Twenty-five Wen, it seems that the price has risen! The two bundles are not as big as their own, and they can only be used for ten days for cooking, Ling'er said to the woodcutter next to him: "Uncle, why is the firewood so expensive now?" ”

The man glanced at Ling'er dissatisfied: "Where is it expensive?" It's too expensive to go to the town to buy charcoal, the worst five pounds a catty, five catties can be used for five days, and the fire is turned off at every turn, beware of the rice is not cooked, and you will freeze to death! ”

After the man finished speaking, he snorted coldly, picked up the flat rope and walked away, Ling'er stuck out his tongue and grimaced at the man, cut ~~ What's the big deal, isn't it just a load of firewood? I have a lot of family, much better than yours!
