028 Earned Opportunities

Guan Ping's father and Guan Pingniang are a couple who eloped, but they didn't expect that the peaceful and happy days ended after Guan Ping's father encountered an accident, which made Guan Pingniang sad and unwilling, and even more determined to let Guan Ping get ahead and live a famous life.

But God's will makes people, her leg injury makes her can only hold on to the bamboo chair like a waste person, and the two of them are even making a living more and more difficult, how can they let Guan Ping'an study? Listening to her son's retort, Guan Pingniang also knew that the two of them had no support at all in Lijia Village, but there was a warm cottage built by their husband and wife here, and there were sweet memories of their husband and wife for 14 years, and she couldn't bear to leave.

"Mother, don't be angry, my son won't rashly do anything insulting." Guan Ping didn't see his mother's response for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw his mother's face full of tears, and he had to clench his fists and swear against his heart again. Reality tells him that too much persistence does not necessarily lead to good results.

"Ping'er, your grandfather is a generation of writers, you can get the qualification of a child at the age of eleven, and you will definitely be able to take the township examination next year. At that time, there will be rice in the imperial court, and taxes will be exempted, and there must be gentry and neighbors who will come to join with the land deed. After that, the triennial county examination and the general examination are not a problem, so why bother to cut off the road to heaven in the future for a momentary appetite! Guan Pingniang has seen the world before, her son is obedient, but his face is full of embarrassment, how can she not see such hesitation.

"Mother......" Guan Ping was still waiting to argue, but Yun Ying, who heard this outside the door, felt that the time was right, pushed open the hidden door and stepped in.

Guan Pingniang and Guan Ping both turned their heads because of the sound at the door, and Yun Ying picked up the wild vegetables in her hand apologetically, "Aunt Guan, Brother Guan Ping, I'll send you some wild vegetables, your door is not closed......"

So I accidentally heard something.

Her potential meaning Guan Pingniang and Guan Ping both understood, Guan Pingniang was better, but Guan Ping was annoyed and roared angrily: "Don't you know how to listen to indecent people?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't go to school, I don't know much about it. But I can hear that Aunt Guan is all thinking about you, Brother Guan Ping, so don't be stubborn with your aunt. Yun Ying smiled at Guan Pingniang flatteringly, "Auntie, the rabbit that Brother Guan Ping hunted today didn't go to the town to let the butcher skin it, I helped peel it." Brother Guan Ping is good, and he also sent a rabbit to our family, no, my aunt Gu asked me to send you some wild vegetables. ”

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that Guan Pingniang is not harsh on weekdays, and she can't help but be a little in a trance with her sincere and grateful smile on Shang Yunying, since Guan Ping's father died, she hasn't seen such a kind smile from the villagers for a long time.

"You are?" Guan Pingniang asked suspiciously, and also called Guan Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.

Yun Ying simply said her identity, and saw the clear expression on Guan Pingniang's face, so she didn't continue to say more, and returned to the topic that she heard the mother and son say before: "Auntie, our family is now separated from the big yard and is your neighbor, that is fate, and it is even more fate to hear what you and Brother Guan Ping said." There is a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if there is anything in the future, just tell me, or if you can trust me, Auntie, I can go to the town and help you sell your prey and buy something else. ”

"You?" Guan Pingniang could hear Yun Ying's main intention, and she also seriously thought about this possibility. Qiao Mutou's wife Luo She knows, she has also seen the previous girls who have been sold one after another, smart, skillful, and beautiful, but they don't seem to be as bold and careful as this Yun Ying, and Yun Ying can't see the small family atmosphere of the women of the Zhuang family, she looks smart and generous, maybe her proposal can really work?

Just when Guan Pingniang was examining the feasibility of Yun Ying's thoughts, Guan Ping categorically refused: "No! What can you do if a girl can't read a big word? You better go back quickly, remember that you are not allowed to tell what you saw today, otherwise the unjust souls in Xishantou will come to you for your life. ”

"Ping'er." As an outlier among women, Guan Pingniang first disagrees with Guan Ping's contempt for women in his words, and secondly, she doesn't like her son to intimidate a little girl with strange things, which is inevitably suspected of bullying.

"Brother Guan Ping, you should know better than me if there is a wronged soul in Xishan, right?" Yun Ying's performance surprised Guan Pingniang again, she just blinked, although the big pie face looked a little poor, but the eyes under the curved eyebrows were bright and clear, which made people feel kind at a glance.

"Moreover, how does Brother Guan Ping know that I can't read a single big word? Besides, doesn't buying and selling things need to be accounted for? But how much is a rabbit, how much is rice and flour oil, this should not be difficult for me. "Yun Ying belonged to the toad character of poking and jumping in her last life, but in this life, she grabbed the opportunity to climb up the pole for the sake of her livelihood, and she felt surprised when she thought about it.

"One rabbit can be sold for fifty cents, give you two rabbits to go to town and sell them. Polished rice is three pounds a catty, brown rice is a pound, millet noodles are two dollars a pound, each is weighed five pounds, is the money enough? Guan Ping said casually, while thinking about adding it in his heart, who knew that when he hadn't fully calculated it, Yun Ying replied without hesitation:

"How is it not enough? After all, the things you asked me to buy were only 30 yuan, and there were 70 yuan left. ”

Guan Ping's face turned red, "I'm not done yet." Eight cents a pound of pork fat, five dollars a pound of lean pork, two pounds of coarse salt, how much can you buy for forty dollars? ”

"Brother Guan Ping, is he asking if he wants to buy forty yuan or buy all of them with forty yuan? If you buy it for 40 yuan, you can have 5 catties of lard, 8 catties of lean pork, and 80 catties of coarse salt. Yun Ying replied in one breath, and at the end of the day, she added with a serious look of thought: "If you buy these things for forty yuan, I think it is better to arrange them like this: three catties of lard for oil, three catties of lean meat for cooking, and just two catties of coarse salt left, and then add them next time I go to the market after eating." ”

Guan Pingdu was still entangled in his heart in the end, Yun Ying's forty yuan was just right, Guan Pingniang had already taught Guan Ping with a wry smile: "You still said that you didn't think about going to the town to buy and sell things, and even inquired about the prices of these vulgar things, if Yun Ying hadn't come to such a show today, would you still plan to go to the town to sell game in the town without me one day?" ”

"Mother." This time, Guan Ping lowered his head guiltily, indeed, he has been thinking about inquiring about the cost of the stalls in the town market these days, and sometimes he is also puzzled, why do scholars become "cheesy" when they get involved with these things.

"My mother knows that you just don't want my mother to suffer, but only when you have a chance to make your mother really not suffer! There are those traps left by your father in the West Mountain, and if someone goes to the town to sell the prey, we can not worry about making a living; Since Yun Ying is not afraid of other people's irresponsible remarks and is willing to help us, let's make it this way, every time Yun Ying can help us sell it, we will take 10% of the salary. Guan Pingniang also had no choice, she was also panicked when her family was guarding the treasure mountain of Xishan and had nothing to gain, but she was unwilling to give her income for no reason.

From Yun Ying's actions and her eyes, Guan Pingniang can see that Yun Ying is also a girl who is not willing to do this, the sisters in front of her were sold by her relatives one by one, presumably for her like a sword hanging high, she can help herself and help this little girl at the same time, it is not a good deed, maybe the child's father has such an opportunity in God's blessing.

"Yun Ying, my surname is Jia, you can call me Aunt Jia in the future." Guan Pingniang didn't want to be silent in the grief of Guan Ping's father's death anymore, and wanted to regain herself from Yun Ying.
