Chapter 11 The Old Woman's Belongings

"Dong'er, you can't grow any longer." Chen Suyun was quite worried.

It's hot, and I have to change out of my winter clothes and spring shirts. Spring is short, and it's time to prepare a summer shirt.

Dongdong's previous clothes can't be worn, not to mention the wind leaking from the hands, neck, feet and neck, just the shoulders can't be stuffed in.

Chen Suyun measured Dongdong's height, more than seven feet...... It can be said that Dongdong has surpassed most of the men in the village.

It's only been a cat for a winter, and Dongdong has jumped up so much. Chen Suyun moved to let Dongdong eat less, so that she wouldn't have such an idea of growing any longer.

Autumn leaves and autumn flowers are not very happy. The clothes that the third sister can't wear are all prepared for the two of them, and they have been wearing them like this since they were children. It is said that Dongdong is a tall man, and anyone can wear the clothes they change, so why should they wear them.

"The children's families grow up fast, and the new clothes are made in vain." Chen Suyun's original words.

It's all a lie. The clothes left by Dongdong when he was four years old, Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers can be worn with two sleeves rolled at the age of five, and one sleeve can be worn at the age of six, and they can still be worn now!

It's a blatant bully.

Two small mouths pouted, and they could hang two small oil bottles.

Chunhua looked at it and smiled secretly, she understood two small thoughts.

Dongdong was a little embarrassed, not because the girl was tall and unsightly, but because it cost too much fabric. Cheap cloth is not enough, Dongdong has a lot of strength, and it can be torn if you are not careful.

"This dress is okay, it was originally made in Dali, and I can still wear it this year." Dongdong said with a shrug.

"Go. The family has a lot of money to make a few sets of clothes, don't worry. Chen Suyun said that the horizontal and vertical clothes are made by themselves, and there is no need for manual fees.

"Eh, isn't it, just because I made my clothes bigger, you grew so fast?" Chen Suyun found a reason, "Come, my mother will give you a good measurement, this time you can't make it bigger." ”

There are many shops selling cloth in the county, and the Ge family is used to going to a shop called Rongyifang. Usually small bits and pieces such as handkerchiefs made at home will also be sold with the help of Rongyifang. The money from the sale is divided into two percent by the boss.

It's the boss's good heart, the boss doesn't look at the money earned from these bits and pieces, he sees that the Ge family's life is not easy, so he will help.

Spring flowers and winter went to Rongyixuan to buy cloth.

"Boss Rong, that peach-colored horse will pull me four feet. I want this turquoise one, and a white muslin one. Chunhua said. The pink ones make skirts for autumn leaves and autumn flowers, and the turquoise ones are winter and winter.

"Good. I'll wrap it up for you. Boss Rong was chubby and laughed, and his eyes squinted and he couldn't see it.

"It's a total of 650 wen, and the handkerchief you brought last time was sold for 80 wen. You, just give me 550 wen. Boss Rong said.

"Boss, you're not right. Even if I went to 80 wen, I have to give 670 wen. I'll have to give you another sixteen dollars. "Chunhua doesn't know much about words, but it's good to settle accounts.

Boss Rong handed the wrapped cloth to Dongdong, sighed and said, "I can't do it in this shop." Even if you are cheaper, it can be regarded as a memory. ”

"Are you moving out?" Chunhua asked, feeling a little sad, first, she was reluctant to Boss Rong, and secondly, there was one less entry in the family.

"That's right. My son is doing a good business in the south, so he wants to take us over. I can't bear this store, but the child wants to have a child very much. Boss Rong looked around the store quite reluctantly, "This store has to be sold." ”

Rong Yixuan's shop is not big, it has made two cabinets, with different fabrics on them, and there is a small warehouse behind the shop.

"How much do you sell for this store?" Haruka asked.

"You want to buy it?" Boss Rong smiled, "If you buy it, forty-five taels." Including the goods in my store, all of them are yours. ”

This price is not expensive, the original county is backing, the place is remote, the people earn less silver, but the price is extremely high.

"I want to buy it too, I can't afford it, don't be kidding." Chunhua said with a smile. The smile is a little reluctant, this shop is very suitable for Chunhua's heart. If you can have a shop to make money safely, you don't have to work so hard. But, forty-five taels, how did the Ge family get it out? It's just a matter of thinking about it.

After buying things and going back, Chunhua was not very happy, only picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and then rested.

"What's wrong with your eldest sister?" Chen Suyun asked Dongdongdao.

Dongdong is very hungry, her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, but she doesn't dare to eat more at home, she is often hungry, and after eating a meal, she thinks about the next meal.

Every time it was time to eat, all she had in her eyes was food. Chen Suyun asked several times before she came back to her senses.

"Huh? I don't know. Dongdong was dazed, "We bought the cloth and came back." ”

"Oh, yes. Rong Yixuan's boss Rong said that he was going to sell the store, and my sister asked how much money I could buy, and Boss Rong said that it would cost forty-five taels. Dongdong said, "I think it may be that my sister wants to buy the store, but she can't afford it." ”

If that's the case, there's no way around it. Chen Suyun is in charge of the money, and the money that Ge Wenzhi and Ge Xiahe brought home is added, and it is only twelve taels.

"Eat, eat." Chen Suyun said, "Leave your eldest sister alone. ”

The old woman didn't care what they said at all, she just hated that the food she made today was not delicious, she had bad teeth, and it was best to make something soft and glutinous, such as fragrant braised pork with fat but not greasy fat.

"Good. Mother-in-law, I'll buy a piece of pork when I go to the street tomorrow. "I finally coaxed the old woman.

When it gets dark, I go to bed, and everyone in the village is like this, and it costs lamp oil to do things at night, which hurts my eyes.

In the evening, the big guys washed up and went back to the house.

"Suyun, Suyun." The old woman shouted in the room, full of anger.

Chen Suyun resigned himself to getting off the bed: "It's here!" ”

"Mother-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Chen Suyun asked.

"Bring me that box." The old woman commanded.

The box that the old woman was talking about was a small red painted wooden box with a triple lock on it, which was usually not touched. Xia He was curious when he was a child and wanted to open the box to take a look. was found by the old woman and scolded. Xia He and the old woman have not dealt much with each other since then.

The box was next to the old woman's pillow, and the old woman had to open it every night to feel for any less.

Chen Suyun didn't know how the old woman asked her to get the box.

"The box is here." Chen Suyun held the box and stood in front of the old woman.

The old woman took out three keys from her body: "Take it, open it." ”

Chen Suyun opened it as instructed.

There were several ingots of silver in it.

"Take thirty taels. Don't move! You should also have a more than ten taels, so buy a shop for Chunhua. The old woman said.

"Mother-in-law......" Chen Suyun's voice was a little choked.

"The girl is a money-loser." The old woman said disgustedly, "Don't sue me for the money, I'm afraid that the others will all stare at the old woman and my remaining pension money." ”

Chen Suyun knew that her mother-in-law didn't like to say good things with this mouth, and the old woman showed Chen Suyun all her belongings, just to tell her that she had saved miles for the dowry money of her granddaughters.

This money is estimated to have been sent to her mother's family when the old woman's daughters were still in contact.
