When Shen Lan came last time, he didn't see that the grocery store had put all kinds of paper spirit flags and other things, but now there are a lot of them, that is, a bamboo bed is placed under the eaves outside the shop to place these things, in addition to Brother Song who was watching the store that day, there was also a woman at the door to greet guests.

The basket that Shen Zhao borrowed last time was for Shen Hailing to return, so this time Shen Lan went out and brought a basket by herself, she was really not used to this time and space without a convenience bag, she had to bring a basket or basket or something when she went out, where was it like the time and space where she stayed by herself, and everything would be fine when she went out with a wallet.

However, thinking that she once went out to travel, and as a result, the white garbage flying all over the tourist location, Shen Lan felt that it was better to have no convenience bags, so everyone had to bring baskets or environmental protection bags to go out, and naturally there would be less white pollution.

Walking to the place where the sacrificial supplies were placed, Shen Lan took the white spirit banner and looked at it, but it was made of bamboo and ordinary rice paper, but there were no tricks, in addition to the white flags, incense candles and paper money were also piled up there.

It's a loss that Shen Zhao mentioned to her how much soul flags and how much incense and paper money she wanted to buy before leaving, and the approximate price was also explained to her, she was not good at bargaining with people in her previous life, so when Shen Zhao said, she asked the price by the way, and at this time she also had a bottom in her heart.

"Wenxiang's daughter-in-law, buy sacrifices?" The woman standing at the door noticed that Shen Lan was picking and choosing over there at this moment, so she walked over with an enthusiastic face and asked with a smile.

Shen Lan nodded, and said with some shyness and embarrassment: "I don't know what to call you, I bumped my head a few days ago, and I forgot all about the past, I don't know who you are?" ”

The woman was not surprised, but smiled kindly and said: "You can call me sister-in-law, my family is your own Song Lian, that is my uncle Song Jie, next time you come to buy something, I will refer to my father-in-law to know you." ”

Shen Lan nodded, thanked her in a low voice, and then took the things she picked and asked Sister-in-law Lian, "Sister-in-law Lian, how much are these?" ”

Sister-in-law Lian glanced at the things in Shen Lan's hand, and secretly calculated in her heart before she spoke: "A total of fifteen yuan." ”

Shen Lan calculated the price given by her mother in her heart, which was good, the price given by this woman was not much different from what her mother said, so she put her hand into her sleeve and felt out fifteen copper plates.

"Yes, that's what I want." Handing the money to the other party, Shen Lan smiled and spoke.

Sister-in-law Lian took the copper plate and smiled even more on her face, but she didn't expect Shen Lan to take out the money so quickly, at this time, because many customers are acquaintances, and they don't have enough money, they habitually always have to take a credit, and there are not many masters like Shen Lan who pay directly.

"By the way, it's been a few months, and I'm afraid I'm going to give birth soon, right?" After taking the money, the business was not busy at this time, Sister-in-law Lian couldn't help but glance at Shen Lan's stomach, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her, Shen Lan's matter was somewhat heard, after all, Songjia Village was the family, and there was nothing to do in this era, everyone was very keen to spread rumors, so many people had heard about Shen Lan.

Shen Lan doesn't have anything to do, and she's also a person when she goes back, and she also wants to find a chance to chat with these seven aunts and eight women about some gossip, after all, she didn't inherit the memory of the original owner, although Shen Zhao also taught her a lot of things, but there are some things Shen Lan doesn't know whether to consult Shen Zhao, and Shen Zhao is not from Songjia Village after all, so she can't ask her about many things. After making up her mind, Shen Lan also had a smile on her face and chatted with her sister-in-law.

"Not yet, I heard my mother say that it has only been more than six months, and it will take more than three months to give birth." Shen Lan replied shyly.

Sister-in-law Lian nodded, and then as if she remembered something, she asked again: "Wenxiang has been gone for more than four months, has there been a letter from home?" ”

Shen Lan shook her head, how did she know about the original owner's husband, she had just passed through for about half a month, and when her sister-in-law saw her shaking her head, she naturally misunderstood that Song Wenxiang had never come back with a letter from home, but thinking that although Song Wenxiang had been gone for four months, she didn't know if she had reached the border pass, after all, the border pass was far away, and if she relied on manpower to walk over, she was afraid that it would take several months to get there, thinking of these eyes that looked at Shen Lan even more pity.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I don't know if you accept things here on weekdays?" Shen Lan asked, it is said that a shop like Sister-in-law Lian's house should collect some things, in Shen Lan's previous memory, when she was a child, because of the lack of economy, sometimes she would exchange eggs for salt, and some people even picked green apples to go to the village to exchange grain when harvesting a season of rice, so maybe some things will be collected here.

Hearing this, sister-in-law glanced at Shen Lan, and naturally understood what Shen Lan meant, and thought about it before speaking: "It's to collect some eggs, straw sandals or something, by the way, you can go to the cloth shop of Zhiwen's house in front of you and ask, maybe you can get a job to make clothes." ”

After speaking, he remembered that Shen Lan had said that he had lost his memory before, so he said again: "You probably don't remember Zhiwen's family, it's Song Zhiwen's family, his wife, you just call Wen's sister-in-law, usually Wen Niangzi looks at the shop, her family should have a job to make clothes, you go and try it." ”

Shen Lan nodded and thanked her repeatedly, and then asked about the situation of a few shops, only to know that almost every family was surnamed Song, and then everyone was related to the family, that is, the person who was not surnamed Song was also the son-in-law of the Song family, in short, the Song family shop was actually almost all surnamed Song.

Leaving the grocery store, Shen Lan still went to the cloth shop, although she was very skeptical that she would not be able to make clothes, but people kindly pointed the way, she had to come in after all, otherwise she didn't know what to say behind her back, and then asked someone for the second time, and people wouldn't say anything, Shen Lan still knew about these human accidents.

Cloth shop, Shen Lan is still the first time to enter, compared to the grocery store, the furnishings of the cloth shop are much more clear, the high counter is piled up with some ordinary fabrics, and on the shelves behind the counter there are pieces of cloth with bright colors, see that the texture is not only cotton, but also silk and satin, the satin is brighter, and the patterns are more, very dazzling.

"Buy cloth?" Compared with the grocery store, this cloth shop is full of doors, and the person who looks at the shop is indeed a woman, which should be the Wen lady that sister-in-law said.

Wen Niangzi wore a cotton gown with pink and white edges, a silver hairpin was inserted in her hair, and a fallen horse bun was combed, giving people a cold and indifferent feeling, and she was not a person who was easy to talk to.

"Sister-in-law, I want to ask if there is any work I can take?" Shen Lan didn't beat around the bush, with a somewhat cautious smile on her face.

Sister-in-law Wen glanced at Shen Lan up and down, and then shook her head decisively.

"It's not that I don't do it for you, it's just that your mother-in-law has always been unreasonable, in case you misunderstand that the clothes were made for yourself, and when the time comes, you will be greedy, and you won't have the money to compensate me." Sister-in-law Wen didn't put on any face, but said slowly.

Suddenly, Shen Lan's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart: Look, you know that Song Wang's family is a pit goods, and now the pit is so bad that the daughter-in-law can't even take the job, and the death is not worth the life.

After thinking about it, Shen Lan asked again: "I don't know if my sister-in-law has any cloth for sale here?" ”

This is there, but it's the cloth, in fact, the price is not cheap, and sometimes people come to buy cloth, and if they buy more, they can also give some to others as an add-on, so Sister-in-law Wen thought about it before she spoke: "I don't know if you want a bigger one or a little broken?" ”

Shen Lan calculated in her heart, she didn't have much money in her hand, and she didn't know if she could make something suitable, so she thought about it and replied, "Break it a little bit." ”

As if she had guessed Shen Lan's plan, Sister-in-law Wen nodded, but still persuaded: "The broken ones are cheaper, but they are not very useful, and it is not cost-effective for you to buy them back." ”

"Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, I don't know how to sell this rag? I want to buy them and go back and make some shoes and socks and pockets for my children. Shen Lan explained, of course, if she can't make suitable handicrafts, she can probably only use them to make her children's shoes and socks and pockets in the end.

Hearing Shen Lan's explanation, Sister-in-law Wen also deliberately glanced at Shen Lan's stomach, and then said, "How much do you want for three pounds of rags?" ”

Shen Lan didn't make a decision, plus she only made so much money by picking tea, and she had already spent fifteen wen today, and she didn't dare to spend more, so she hesitated before saying, "Sister-in-law, weigh me two catties." ”

This time, Sister-in-law Wen didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the bag containing the rags and picked out some good-looking cloth heads, and then pulled two slightly larger cloth heads, one of which was taken out as a wrapper to wrap the rags, and then weighed it.

"Six cents." After tidying up, Sister-in-law Wen spoke coldly.

Shen Lan hurriedly took out the money from her sleeve, but halfway through it, she remembered that there was no needle and thread at home, and hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have embroidery needles and threads here?" ”

"There are three needles and five strands." Sister-in-law Wen quoted the price.

"Then trouble my sister-in-law to give me three needles, five strands of thread, and the thread will take three strands of white and two strands of black." Shen Lan took out the eight pennies from her sleeve and handed it to Sister-in-law Wen.

Sister-in-law Wen nodded, and took another needle and thread, but in addition to the thread explained by Shen Lan, she also put half a red thread to Shen Lan, Shen Lan took it and thanked her, but she felt that although Sister-in-law Wen was cold, her heart was still very good, and it was worth dating, but she thought of her situation and rested like this.
