Sure enough, as soon as Li Jinrong's words came out, the children's eyes lit up, and they turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.

Looking at the children's heart-warming expressions, Li Jinrong carried the money bag, and added with a smile, "Children, you can sell me your safflower seeds with peace of mind, you took three cents, and the day after tomorrow you find the Lan family to buy a bowl of radish strips for two cents, and there is still a penny left in your hand, you can buy a big hug of cannonballs, and there is also the kind of 'drill monkey' that can fly into the sky." ”

With Li Jinrong's words, the dozen or so children nodded again and again, and they all ran to Li Jinrong with their safflower seeds.

Dashan looked at Li Jinrong, who had robbed his own business, and snorted coldly in anger, muttering in a small voice, "Hmph, what a ghost, we have him everywhere......?"

Yun Fang pulled Dashan's arm and shook his head at him, although Dashan was full of unhappiness, but under Yun Fang's serious eyes, he still stomped his foot hatefully and took back the unfinished words.

After appeasing his brother, Yun Fang beckoned to the small pillar on the side, put the last bowl of radish strips in his hand, and said softly, "Little pillar, come, take this bowl of radish strips home and give it to your sister-in-law." ”

"No," Xiao Zhu retracted his hand, dodged the radish strips handed over by Yun Fang, and said seriously, "I picked safflower seeds for Sister Fang'er, not to exchange them for radish strips, I, I owe it to Sister Fang'er today, today." ”

Xiao Zhuzi's words were not said clearly, but Yun Fang understood what he meant, Xiao Zhu has always been a bullied one among the children in Songpotun, today he was able to hit the arrogance of the 'child king' Xiao Futou, and also replaced his 'child king' status in one fell swoop, all because Yun Fang gave him a bowl of radish strips in time, and it was Yun Fang who gave him an opportunity to establish his prestige among the children of Sanli and Wu Village. With such a little pillar of kindness in mind, he naturally refused to ask for the radish strips sent by Yun Fang anymore.

"I know, I know," Yun Fang smiled, pulled Xiao Zhuzi's hand out from behind him, put the small porcelain bowl in his hand, and explained softly, "I know that Xiao Zhu didn't exchange it with Sister Fang'er, and my sister didn't give you these radish strips because you picked safflower seeds. This is my sister asked you to take it back to your sister-in-law, you came out for such a day, if you don't bring something back, can your sister-in-law not nag you?"

Yun Fang's words all spoke to Xiao Zhu's heart. He secretly ran out to see the excitement today, and it looked like it was a whole day, that sister-in-law would not spare him, and this time he did not do well by himself, and he did not take care of it, and he was not good enough to ask Brother Wang for help.

Sister Fang'er was completely clear about his situation, and took out the last bowl of radish strips to give him, with this bowl of radish strips, he could straighten his waist in front of the sister-in-law who loved to be cheap, not only would he not be beaten for playing for a day, but if he was lucky, he would get a smile from her.

Xiao Zhuzi's heart was moved, with bright tears in his eyes, he choked and hugged Yun Fang's arm, and buried his face deep in Sister Fang'er's warm clothes, "Sister Fang'er, sister, I, I, from now on, you are my own sister." ”

Yun Fang patted Xiao Zhuzi's back soothingly, "Okay, my sister knows, my sister knows." It's getting late, so hurry up and go home with the radish strips. You can use a small porcelain bowl to hold these radish strips, and send the small porcelain bowl over tomorrow, Brother Shi killed the pig, and tomorrow he will start making pork. Okay, okay, stop crying, there's a lot of people watching you. ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhu nodded vigorously, wiped his tears with his sleeve, took the small porcelain bowl in Yun Fang's hand, and ran out at a trot.

After a short while, the figure of the little pillar ran away without a trace, but there was a heavy echo in the valley:

"Sister, I will remember it myself, my little pillar will remember it!"

......

......

Yun Fang knew that Xiao Zhu was expressing his determination and determination in his own way.

Silently accepting Xiao Zhu's thoughts, Yun Fang lowered his head and got busy.

At this time, Li Jinrong had successfully bought the remaining dozen baskets of safflower seeds at the price of three cents per basket, and was proudly shouting at the dozen or so children to send them to the yard of his home.

The transaction was completed, there was no more excitement to see, and as it got late, the onlookers dispersed in twos and threes.

Yun Fang, Da Shan, and Xiao Shi hurriedly packed up the coarse porcelain jar and other things, and tied the bags of safflower seeds in the carriage with ropes, and the three of them were ready to go home.

Dashan untied the reins of the horse, but handed it into the hands of Xiao Shi, "Shishi, you come and catch the cart, I'll sit behind." ”

Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, but did not ask why, but silently took the reins, took the whip again, and jumped onto the wheel.

Dashan told Xiao Shi to catch the car, and he himself took a few steps back, came to Yun Fang's side, pointed to the car gang, and said, "Go up." ”

Yun Fang looked at his brother, he made it clear that he had something to say, and he knew what he was going to say. But now it is in Zhaojiazhuang, at the door of Zhao's house, there are some things that are not suitable to say here, she smiled at her brother clearly, and said softly, "Brother go up first, don't worry, I will sit next to you." ”

Knowing that Yun Fang understood what he meant, Dashan nodded, sat in the car with both hands, and then patted the position beside him. Yun Fang was a good talker, jumped hard, jumped into the car, and sat down next to his brother's tongue.

Yun Fang and Dashan sat down properly, the whip of the small stone was flicked, and with the sound of the horse's hooves, the carriage also made a dull 'squeak', and slowly started.

After a while, Xiaoshi drove the carriage out of the village, Dashan stared around with wide eyes, in such a cold winter evening, no one would go out and wander around, Dashan looked around, naturally did not see half a figure.

After making sure that there were no others around, Dashan finally couldn't help it, and complained urgently, "Fang'er, that haunting Li Jinrong just now came to stir up our affairs again, I want to scold him in front of everyone, why are you stopping me?"

"I deliberately let him buy those safflower seeds. Yun Fang gently patted Dashan's arm and said slowly.

"What? You did it on purpose?" he raised Sangmen loudly, "Why is this? Could it be that you are afraid of him? Don't worry, with my brother here, we are not afraid of him!"

"Brother, don't worry, you listen to me," Yun Fang patted Dashan's arm again comfortingly, and asked rhetorically, "If we change it like this, how many radish strips can we change?"

Dashan was asked by Yunfang like this, and he was a little confused for a while, he thought about it and said, "Our family doesn't have many radish strips to change now, but we can go buy radish radish again, and then continue to pickle radish strips." ”

Listening to Dashan's words, Yun Fang chuckled and shook his head, and analyzed, "It's so cold now, many people's radishes are frozen, and it will be much more difficult for us to buy radishes. ”

"Well," Dashan nodded, agreeing with Yun Fang's words, "What you said is also the truth. It's a little cold on our side, but it's warm on the mountain side, so we can go to the mountain to collect water and radishes. Even if the price is more expensive, I am not afraid, no matter how it is calculated, our radish strips are still worth more than water radish. ”

"That's what I said, but brother, you forgot one thing," Yun Fang explained softly after listening to Dashan, "We don't want to sell the radish strips now, but to exchange them for these safflower seeds, these seeds can't be turned into cash for the time being, don't you know our family's brother, we can't afford to hoard it." ”

Yun Fang's words made Dashan speechless for a while, falling into deep thought. Yun Fang is right, there is so much money in the family, and there is a wedding banquet for Yunhua and Xiaoshi in front of him, followed by the New Year's Pass, and the bad things of his uncle's family can't help but help, as well as the imminent problem of carriages and horses. Yun Fang said a lot, the Lan family's family background is thin, and it is indeed impossible to hoard.

Although the reason is understood, Dashan still can't figure it out psychologically, and he stiffens his neck and says, "We, we can't afford to hoard, and we can also tell people that we won't change it, and those who want to eat can use Dazi to buy it." Besides, didn't those children say that they had already picked almost all the safflower seeds, and there were not many left on the mountain, so if we wanted to change them, we would still be able to survive by gritting our teeth. ”

Yun Fang shook her head slowly, and patiently explained, "Our mountain may have been picked by children, but what about the villages that are a little farther away?

"This ,......" Dashan was once again dumbfounded by Yun Fang, their ancestors have lived in such a mountain village for generations, reputation is more important than anything else, once the reputation of bad reputation spreads, not only they themselves are looked down upon, but even future generations will not be able to raise their heads when they are discussed.

Dashan weighed the weight of this, and he had to admire Xiao Fang'er's far-reaching consideration. He just couldn't see Li Jinrong come forward to steal their business, but he didn't expect so much.
