38. [1-038] Three chickens were bought home

What did the adults talk about last night, Meng Fan was not in the mood to mix, she started the preparations she wanted to do early this morning.

To make money and buy chickens, it is important to be able to buy one and buy more.

Moreover, my father was not at home today, and I went out early in the morning, and while my mother acquiesced and asked her to take good care of my brother, her cool water stall was set up under the cypress tree outside the village.

Don't think that practice makes perfect or how much you can make with one or two acquaintances to take care of the business, today is normal, in the case of the farmers who have no spare money, she only earned eight copper plates, hehe, she also secretly threw two copper plates into the space.

There was a rough basket carried by an old man who had entered the road in the next village, and there was a small handful of vegetable seedlings, and she saw that the uncle was so thirsty and was reluctant to take out a copper plate to drink water, so she exchanged a bowl of water and two pieces of radish, and lost half of it in the space, and half took it home.

An aunt was eating a handful of raw pumpkin seeds in her hand, and she also exchanged a bowl of water and two radishes for some to put into a small bag sewn from two pieces of blue cloth.

Ah, there is the cry of a little chick, just on the side of the road a lady who came home from the market called her weakly in the back basket, Mengfan was very cute and cute to greet a monk to drink water for free, while pricking up his ears to listen to the chatter of the people they walked together.

"Aunt her, how much is your chicken, look, your family is really getting better and better......"

"Oh, his third aunt, this chicken is expensive, my baby pimple is talking about eating eggs every day, our head of the house went to chop hundreds of catties of dry firewood, and sold it for a total of thirty or forty dollars to buy such six chicks, and he also bought half a catty of meat to honor his parents-in-law and mother-in-law......"

Oh my god......

A rural strong laborer, chopping firewood, after drying a few hundred catties, according to custom, the upper three is a few, that is, in more than 300 catties of dry firewood, only thirty or forty copper plates were replaced, and I don't know how many days it took to cut and accumulate; A few days ago, my grandmother said that this egg has to be sold for two cents a piece, and these ten chicks cost about four or five cents a piece......

She has only hidden a total of three pennies now, enough to buy more than half a chicken...... Can ——, chicks be chopped and traded?

While Mengfan thought about the headache, he didn't forget to make fun of himself.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the main road, and seeing that the sun is gradually reaching overhead, it is time for her to go home and cook, her mother is still busy in the fields, and her brother can't go hungry.

Packing up her belongings, the opportunity came just when she had already emptied the little well water left for the day and was about to call her brother, who was playing on the side, to go home.

"Girl, have you sold out of water? I'm thirsty, and I have to drive more than ten miles of mountain roads home. ”

"Mother-in-law, it's almost noon, I saw no one just now, so I poured water to water the tree, if you want to be thirsty, I still have a few radishes here, you can eat it, it's sweet and moisturizing, I don't want your money." With a good smile, she took out the remaining slices of radish from the bucket and handed them to the weather-beaten old woman, and in her kindness, she heard the faint cry of a chick in the basket that the woman was carrying.

"What a good boy, watering trees is a blessing, and the Bodhisattva will bless well-wishers." The wrinkles on the old woman's face turned into flowers, her cloudy eyes sparkled for a moment, and her flat mouth with few teeth clicked and chewed on white radish, and was full of appreciation.

"Mother-in-law, you have chicks in this back basket, did you buy it? How much did you buy? She was just stimulated by the idea of raising chickens, and she couldn't help it when she heard the sound of chickens.

"I didn't buy it, my mother-in-law took it to the market and sold it, and I wanted to sell it for a few salt money, but there were three left, and they didn't want it......"

"You're selling? Hehe, mother-in-law, sell it to me, how much is it? ”

As long as it's alive, our little peacock has a way to make these three little chicks alive.

"You're a kind little girl, I don't have anything to say about selling my chick to you, it's just that your adult is not there, can you call the shots? When the time comes, if your family is not happy and asks you to find someone to retreat, then what will you do? ”

"It's okay, I make my own money, buy chickens, I don't spend it indiscriminately, mother-in-law, you can sell the chickens to me." She smiled and chose to face her father's anger afterwards, anyway, after spending the money, at most her father would roar a few words, and she would not really beat her.

"Okay then, I'll count you cheaper for three chickens, twelve cents, do you have it?" The mother-in-law looked at her few possessions suspiciously.

"Mother-in-law, my money is only enough to buy two chickens...... Mengfan coaxed her younger brother to give her the eight pennies and handed it to the old woman.

"You only have eight cents, huh? Forget it, these three chickens don't know if I can feed them if I bring them back, I'll sell them to you, by the way, girl, can you give me all your radish slices? "It's best if you can get more food.

"Good Ratcha!" What's so bad? There's also a big turnip, and she's got a lot of it.

No weight and one body light, the three little chicks have successfully become hers. This is the first time in her life that she spends money on shopping alone, and she doesn't even have the time to walk to the town, and as for what kind of thunderous anger Daddy will have when she returns home, it will be after Daddy returns from the sixth uncle's house tonight.
