Chapter 9 Rush to the Market
Before dawn in the morning, Chen Chunhua was woken up from her dream by the boss.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to get up!" Looking at the sleepy-eyed Chen Chunhua, the boss's heart was full, and with a daughter-in-law, it became a taste to get up every day.
Chen Chunhua rubbed her eyes and looked at the boss. "I still want to sleep!" After speaking, he turned over and continued to sleep, the boss was stunned for a moment, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and said. "Daughter-in-law, aren't you going to go to town with me?"
Hearing this, Chen Chunhua immediately sobered up, not to mention this, she forgot. Thinking about it, he got down from the kang, and at this time, the third child came in with a basin of hot water, and when he saw that Chen Chunhua was awake, he hurriedly said. "Daughter-in-law, come and wash your face, I'll go with my eldest brother later!"
Chen Chunhua nodded, put on her shoes and socks and quickly washed her face. She knew that in this kind of countryside, it was necessary to rush to the market as soon as possible, and look at the sky outside, there should be some distance to the town.
"Third brother, why are you up too? What about the second brother? Chen Chunhua took the white-flour steamed bun brought by the third child and said.
The third pointed outside. "The second brother just went out to the ground!"
"Got off the ground?" It's so dark, how can you see it? As if seeing Chen Chunhua's doubts, the third child spoke. "It's time to harvest the potatoes and melons, and the second brother will take advantage of this time to go to the field to take back those potatoes and melon vines."
Chen Chunhua heard this, looked at the third child, and remembered her previous life, when she and Sister Chen were in the countryside, in order to harvest rice, they were busy until midnight. Thinking of this, Chen Chunhua misses the years of life with Sister Chen in the countryside, although there are only her two mothers and daughters at home, but they also live a fulfilling life.
Seeing that Chen Chunhua's face was wrong, the third child said urgently. "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Ah, no!" Chen Chunhua turned around and forced her tears back, when she came to this place, she couldn't go back, I hope my mother can live a good life alone, don't think about her.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time to go!" The boss picked up the firewood and put it at the door, and shouted into the house.
Chen Chunhua took the uneaten steamed buns and ran out. "Alas, here it is!"
The boss looked at Chen Chunhua, put down the long pick in his hand, walked into the back room and took a thick dress and put it on her. "It's windy outside!"
Chen Chunhua's heart warmed and nodded. "I see!"
followed the boss out of the yard, it was pitch black outside, and the wind was whirring, hitting Chen Chunhua, her neck shrank from the cold, and she quickly adjusted the clothes on her body. Looking at the boss walking in front, with his tall body, I don't know why, Chen Chunhua's nose was sour, and she had the urge to cry.
The boss walked in front, listening to the movement behind him, looking back from time to time, maybe shouting. He was just worried that his daughter-in-law was not familiar with this road, and would fall or something.
The two of them walked for a while before they arrived at the entrance of the village, and an ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, and many people were already sitting on the ox cart. The boss put down Chai He and said to Chen Chunhua. "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and get on the ox cart!"
Chen Chunhua looked at the location of the ox cart and wondered. "Big brother, what about you?"
"I'll put the firewood first!" After speaking, the boss skillfully put two bundles of firewood on the back of the ox cart with a straw rope.
"Ouch, isn't this the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhao's family, she looks really smart!" A middle-aged woman, seeing Chen Chunhua, patted the position beside her. "Come on, sit next to me!"
Chen Chunhua looked at the woman with a kind face, so she didn't refuse, and squeezed to the position next to her. "Old Zhao, what's your name?"
"Chen Chunhua!" Chen Chunhua rubbed her cold red hands and said softly.
"Chunhua, you just follow Boss Zhao and call me the second aunt!" The second aunt is the daughter-in-law of the second brother of the village chief, and everyone in the village screams like this. The second aunt is not familiar with Zhao Lao's family, since yesterday, who in the whole village doesn't know that the daughter-in-law in Zhao's family is powerful?
This person's eyes are used to see, and the second aunt sees that Chen Chunhua is not a girl with crooked thoughts, and she likes it at a glance.
"Hello second aunt!" Chen Chunhua didn't know the relationship between the three brothers and everyone in Zhaojia Village, after all, their reputation was outside!
"Alas, I responded to this, Boss Zhao and his three brothers married you, but they were blessed!" The second aunt said and patted Chen Chunhua's hand affectionately. Touching her cold hand, she immediately took off the wrap on her hand and wrapped it around Chen Chunhua's hand. "Why doesn't this Boss Zhao bring you a cloth, look at the freezing!"
Chen Chunhua hurriedly took off the hand wrap and returned it to the second aunt. "Second aunt, how can this be done, I'm not cold, it's just a little windy, it'll be fine in a while!"
The second aunt saw Chen Chunhua push back, and she didn't push back anymore.
After Chen Chunhua and the second aunt chatted a few words from time to time, the ox cart was crowded with people, and the boss sat in front of the ox cart, and then the village chief came over, huddled together with the boss, and drove the ox to the road with the whip in his hand.
Seeing that the sky was dawning, Chen Chunhua yawned and said with tears in her eyes. "Second aunt, how long will it take to go to town?"
"It's almost there!" After the second aunt finished speaking, the whole person fell under the ox cart, Chen Chunhua was startled, and quickly grabbed the second aunt. With Chen Chunhua's pull, the second aunt immediately grabbed the edge and stabilized herself in time. "Big brother, what are you doing, everyone is going to be thrown down!" The second aunt said a word to the village chief and looked at Chen Chunhua Dao. "Chunhua, thank you just now, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have swallowed it all."
Chen Chunhua rubbed her arm, just now, the force was too strong, and the whole arm hurt. "Second aunt, what are you talking about, I'm not sitting here!"
"I know, Chunhua, when you are free, remember to come to my house to chat!" The second aunt was also taken aback, if it weren't for Chunhua's pull, she would have fallen down.
"What's the matter, are you all right?" The village chief turned his head to look at the second aunt and said. "There was a pothole on that road just now, I'll pay attention later, everyone hurry up!"
The boss turned his head to look at Chen Chunhua, and saw that she was fine, so he looked ahead with confidence.
"If you want it, when the second aunt is free, I'll go!" It just so happened that she didn't have anyone to talk to, and now she didn't know much about this place, and she had to get familiar with it as soon as possible, but she couldn't ask everything, which would inevitably arouse suspicion, and even if she didn't suspect it, she would have to find a reason to explain when they asked.
After dawn, the ox cart also passed all the way to the town, looking at the streets where people came and went, Chen Chunhua's face was happy. This is the ancient bazaar, and it is really fresh!
"It's down, before noon, everyone remember to come here, this is not waiting for anyone!" The village chief got out of the ox cart and looked at the group.
"Chunhua, I'm going to buy something, I'll go back and talk about it later!" The second aunt got out of the ox cart, picked up a basket of potatoes and said to Chen Chunhua.
"Alas, what is the second aunt doing here?" Chen Chunhua looked at the second aunt's basket of potatoes and asked.
"Oh, let's sell some copper plates!" After the second aunt finished speaking, she carried the potatoes to the market. The people on the ox cart were gone, and Chen Chunhua hurried down, and the boss untied the chai he, picked it up with a long pick, and looked at Chen Chunhua. "Daughter-in-law, you just wait for me, I'll come over when I send firewood!"
Chen Chunhua nodded. "Well, I'll wait here."
The boss carried Chai He away, Chen Chunhua sat on the ox cart, and the village chief looked at Chen Chunhuadao. "Eldest daughter-in-law, I'll go buy something, you help me look at this cow fork, I'll be back soon!"
"Village chief, go ahead, I'm here watching!" The village chief nodded, tied the ox to the pillar, and hurried to the market.
Chen Chunhua sat on the ox cart and watched the people coming and going, some carrying burdens and some carrying things, and their speed was always so fast.
Life is a race against time, regardless of location, and treats people equally. She had always understood this, in her previous life, but now she was too.
No matter where she goes, she will adjust her mentality as soon as possible and give full play to her ability to adapt to the environment. As incredible as it is to be reborn, it has already happened, and in addition to acceptance, it is still acceptance!
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the boss strode over with a long pick. "Daughter-in-law, let's go!"
Chen Chunhua got down from the ox cart, looked in the direction the village chief left, and said. "Big brother, the village chief asked me to watch the ox cart, he is buying something!"
"Cheng, when the village chief comes back, I will take you again, my daughter-in-law is hungry now, I will buy you two buns!" The boss said, and put the twenty copper plates that sold firewood into Chen Chunhua's hands. "Here, my daughter-in-law has put it away!"
Chen Chunhua counted the number and couldn't help but look at the old avenue in surprise. "Why are there so many?" Ten copper plates may not be worth much, but these two bundles of firewood can be sold for this price, and who wouldn't want to chop firewood?
The boss frowned and said. "This is an acquaintance, so I'll give more!" Specifically, the boss didn't want to say anything, but if he did, he was worried that his daughter-in-law would think too much, so he simply didn't say anything.
Chen Chunhua didn't think much about it, and put the copper plate into his purse, and then the village chief bought the things and said with a smile. "Thank you eldest daughter-in-law, you can go whatever you want to buy, remember to catch up!"
"Well, I see!"
The boss led Chen Chunhua straight to the vegetable market, looked at the stall selling pork, and walked to the third one. "How do you sell this meat?"
The boss saw that someone was coming, wiped his hands, and flipped over the piece that the boss had taken a fancy to. "It's all regular customers, I'll give you less, Bawen!"
"Okay, I want a pound!"
The boss saw that the boss was happy, quickly cut the meat, tied it with a straw rope and handed it to the boss, Chen Chunhua took out eight copper plates from the purse and gave them to the boss. Eight cents is a pound of meat, that is to say, the boss's load of firewood is only worth two pounds of meat.
"Alas, wait!" The boss saw the boss and Chen Chunhua leave, and immediately turned out a bone from the basket. "This is for you, anyway, it's on hold!"
Chen Chunhua looked at the big bone, her eyes lit up, God, such a good thing is actually free, thinking, without saying a word, she hurriedly took the big bone. "Thank you!"
"Thank you, this bone doesn't have anything to eat!" The boss said politely, no one bought this bone, and he threw it away when he took it back.
Chen Chunhua nodded with a smile. "The boss is good, the business is booming, put it aside, I will come to you to buy it in the future!"
"Done!"
After the two of them left the meat stall, the boss saw that the smile on his daughter-in-law's face had not diminished, and he said with a smile. "Daughter-in-law, why are you so happy?!"
Chen Chunhua raised the big bone in his hand. "Good thing!"
