The senior sister wondered: "Aren't we now cleared up for money?" Why do you still have to write receipts? ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and patiently explained to her: "The money you gave me to buy books and the goods I handed over to you are two clear, but what I am returning to you now is the part of the money I gave you at a discount, which is already another matter." ”

The classmates next to the senior sister all shouted: "You can do what the senior sister tells you to do, this senior sister is so loyal, she bought us books in the heavy rainstorm and gave us discounts, can't you still believe her character?" Will she cheat you? ”

The senior sister thought about it, so she wrote a receipt according to Bai Mengdie's request.

Bai Mengdie said goodbye to her with a smile, and left with Shi Lei and Chen Ziqian.

Chen Ziqian saw that it was already past noon, and wanted to invite Bai Mengdie's brothers and sisters to lunch.

Bai Mengdie hurriedly shook her head: "No, my grandparents are still waiting for us to go back for a reunion dinner!" ”

Chen Jingxuan squinted at Chen Ziqian with great disgust on the side: "It's a big holiday, you don't let people go home for the holiday, what do you think in your head?" ”

Chen Ziqian rolled his eyes, what else could he think, he was not afraid of starving his goddess.

"In that case, let's drive you home." Chen Ziqian said.

Bai Mengdie resolutely refused: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, it is rare for you to go home and reunite with your parents, don't delay time for us, drive back quickly."

The county seat is not far from my home, and our brother and sister can get home by car for half an hour, so we don't need to send it. ”

Chen Ziqian didn't insist at this time, and went to the nearest small store to buy mineral water and bread cakes for Bai Mengdie, so that her brother and sister could pad their stomachs on the road.

Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian tugged for a while before accepting it.

Chen Jingxuan took Chen Ziqian to drive her brother and sister to the long-distance bus station.

Bai Mengdie said thank you, and was about to open the car door and get out of the car, Chen Ziqian handed her his Burberry classic plaid umbrella and commanded the tone: "Take it!" ”

Bai Mengdie looked at the pouring rain outside the car window, accepted his umbrella, then opened the car door, stretched the umbrella out of the car door, and then got out of the car.

thanked the Chen brothers again, shared an umbrella with Shi Lei, and got on a long-distance bus that had just entered the station.

The Chen brothers then drove away.

Bai Mengdie sat on the long-distance bus, and saw through the window that Chen Jingxuan's windy Rolls-Royce was gone, and then took out two breads, one for her and Shi Lei.

Shi Lei glanced at the bread handed over by Bai Mengdie, with a look of disgust, as if it was a piece of, and said disdainfully: "I'm not hungry, you eat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach let out a few rumbling protests.

Bai Mengdie's gaze moved from his face to his stomach, and then to his face, and persistently held the bread under his nose.

Shi Lei was embarrassed, so he had to take the bread and eat it.

The brother and sister ate only one loaf of bread and did not eat any more, and then drank the mineral water.

A lot of bread and cakes to take back to the old man and the old lady to eat, the bread and cakes are very fluffy, very suitable for the old people to eat.

When the coach arrived in town, the heavy rain turned into moderate rain.

Shi Lei was afraid that Bai Mengdie's arm would be tired holding the umbrella, so he held the umbrella himself.

said that the two brothers and sisters shared an umbrella, but in fact, Shi Lei covered the entire umbrella on Bai Mengdie's head, and his whole body was outside the umbrella.

Bai Mengdie saw it and pulled him down the umbrella: "Brother, you come into the umbrella, why are you raining outside the umbrella." ”

Shi Lei brushed her hand away: "I'm a boy, it's okay to get a little rain, you just don't get wet." ”

Although Shi Lei's words were very heartwarming, Bai Mengdie would not really think that it was okay for the boy to get wet in the rain, and the boy was not a stone man, so he resolutely pulled him under the umbrella.

The brother and sister were close to each other, supporting each other to walk in the wind and rain.

Before they approached the entrance of the village, the brother and sister saw the old lady standing under the willow tree at the entrance of the village with an umbrella.

From time to time, the wind blew over the old lady's umbrella.

Bai Mengdie and Shi Lei's hearts tightened, and they hurriedly ran to the old lady together.

When I was about to get to the front, I saw that the old lady not only had an umbrella, but also a plastic sheet on her body, which was not wet, and the brother and sister were relieved.

The old man is not as good as the two teenagers, and even if it rains on a hot day, he may get sick.

Bai Mengdie said angrily: "Grandma, why did you run out of such a heavy rain?" ”

The old lady said kindly: "I'm worried that you haven't come back so late, so I'll come to the village entrance to have a look." ”

"Don't listen to your grandmother." Not worried that the old lady was alone at the entrance of the village, Tian Chunfang specially held an umbrella to see her, and happened to hear the conversation between their ancestors and grandchildren.

"Your grandmother blames herself for not letting you bring an umbrella in the morning, so she has to stand at the entrance of the village and wait for you to come back."

Bai Mengdie burrowed into the old lady's umbrella. Grabbed her arm and went home with her: "What is there to blame for this, my brother and I will not get sick if we are young and strong in the rain." ”

"Your brother won't get sick, I'm sure that." The old lady glanced at her distressedly, "But you are different, the doctor said that you have taken such a long period of hormones, and your body is worse than that of ordinary children." ”

"Why, aren't I very good?" After Bai Mengdie finished speaking, she felt that her nose was a little itchy and wanted to sneeze.

She quickly rubbed it with her hand and rubbed the sneeze away, afraid that the old lady would blame herself even more when she heard her sneeze.

Tian Chunfang comforted the old lady and said, "I have hot ginger soup in the kitchen, and I have also boiled the bath water.

When you get home, let Fluttershy drink a bowl of ginger soup and take a hot bath so that she won't get sick. ”

The old lady quickened her pace when she heard this.

Shi Lei relied on his height and long legs, and he had already left them behind and walked to the front.

Tian Chunfang asked Bai Mengdie: "Have you bought the information book that your senior sister wanted?" ”

"I bought it, and I have already sent it to the senior, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so late."

Bai Mengdie smiled and told her and the old lady, "This batch of information books has earned a total of 800 yuan!" ”

"What? How much? "The old lady felt that she was old and deaf, and that she could not really hear the words of her precious granddaughter.

Bai Mengdie made an "eight" gesture: "Eight hundred!" ”

The old lady and Tian Chunfang were all stunned.

The old lady said in disbelief: "Didn't you say yesterday that a reference book earns one dollar, you should earn a total of two hundred yuan, right, why do you say that you can earn eight hundred?" ”

Bai Mengdie said: "Yesterday I estimated it indiscriminately, how did I know that the profit of the data book is so big!" ”

The old lady sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that your brother and sister braved the rain to go to the city to enter the information book, and they made so much money in one fell swoop, which is more than your father's monthly salary." ”

asked Bai Mengdie with concern, did her brother and sister have lunch.

Bai Mengdie shook her head: "I was so busy rushing home that I didn't bother to have lunch."

However, I met Chen Ziqian and his eldest brother on the road, and Chen Ziqian bought bread for my brother and I to eat, so I was not very hungry. ”

The three grandparents returned home as they spoke.

Shi Lei had already put the ginger soup on the table for Bai Mengdie, and asked her to hurry up and drink it.

The old lady instructed Li Yuhuan to fry a bowl of egg fried rice for the two brothers and sisters of Bai Mengdie.

"It's not easy for these two children, in order to make money, they braved the wind and rain, not to mention, and they haven't eaten yet."

Li Yuhuan hurriedly went to the kitchen to make egg fried rice.

Although Bai Mengdie hated ginger soup, she still poured it into her stomach in one breath under the burning gaze of the old man.

If you don't drink it, you can't do it, the old man will force it.

As soon as Bai Mengdie put the bowl down, Shi Lei had already poured her bath water, and she went to take a hot bath.

Originally, my nose was a little itchy, but as soon as I drank this ginger soup and soaked in a hot bath, there was nothing to do.

But Tian Chunfang was still not at ease, so she asked her to wash her hot water head, and Bai Mengdie could finally eat the egg fried rice made by Li Yuhuan.

Tian Chunfang took the bag with the cloth head and the mung bean cake and sesame cake from the room, and came out and said to the old man and the old man: "Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my parents' house." ”

"Go quickly, your parents are just afraid of looking forward to you at home on tiptoe at the moment!" The old lady waved her hand.

Bai Mengdie hurriedly said: "Mom, I'll go with you!" With that, he ate quickly.

Tian Chunfang saw that Bai Mengdie offered to accompany her back to her parents' house, and she was very excited: "You eat slowly, Mom is waiting for you." ”

A few minutes later, Bai Mengdie finished eating, wiped her mouth with a towel, and said to Tian Chunfang, "Let's go." ”

Shi Lei had just finished taking a shower and was pouring the bath water.

Tian Chunfang asked him, "Are you going to your grandmother's house?" ”

"No, I'll stay at home and study." Shi Lei thought for a while and said.

Tian Chunfang saw that Bai Mengdie was going to wear rain boots, and said: "Don't wear rain boots on a hot day, stuffy feet, Mom bought new sandals for you and your brother, Mom will get them for you." With that, he went into the room and took out two shoeboxes.

One was given to Shi Lei, and the other was given to Bai Mengdie.

Bai Mengdie opened it and saw that it was a pair of crystal sandals of good quality.

Putting on sandals, Bai Mengdie and Tian Chunfang went out with gifts and umbrellas.

Tian Chunfang's mother's house is not too far from Baijia Village, and on days when it doesn't rain, you can walk in half an hour.

It's windy and rainy today, and it's almost an hour to get there.

In order to prevent Bai Mengdie from getting wet by the rain that the wind blew into the umbrella, Tian Chunfang walked on the side where the wind and rain blew to help her resist the wind and rain.

Mother and daughter talked as they walked.

Bai Mengdie asked Tian Chunfang if it had rained in the morning.

Tian Chunfang said with a smile: "Your second aunt and I are not stupid, seeing that the sky is so heavy, we will definitely close the stall."

But this rain is really urgent, your second aunt and I just collected the stall and hid under the eaves of other people's houses, and the rain fell cracklingly. ”

"Then you and your second aunt also came back in the rain later?" Bai Mengdie asked.

"No, the rain was light for a while, and your second aunt and I hurried to the long-distance station, and we were not afraid when we got on the bus, and when we got to the town, which small shop couldn't borrow two umbrellas? Isn't that coming back. ”

"Then you and your second aunt didn't make any money this morning."

"Earn dozens of dollars." Tian Chunfang said regretfully, "If it doesn't rain today, you can earn a lot of miles, and the more you celebrate the festival, the better the business." ”

Bai Mengdie comforted her and said, "Money can still be earned in the future." ”

When Tian Chunfang returned the umbrella to the small shop, in order to show his gratitude, he also bought two bottles of wine and some snacks from the small shop where he borrowed the umbrella, and then took Bai Mengdie to the market to buy meat.

Rural people don't pay attention to Children's Day, but traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival still attach great importance to it.

On this day, the villagers are also willing to spend money to buy some meat to make a delicious meal, and married women also want to buy meat when they return to their parents' homes.

So the owners of several meat sellers in the town bought a lot of meat today and wanted to sell it for a few more money.

As a result, a sudden heavy rain stopped many villagers at home, causing their meat to not be sold, and the owners of the meat stalls were all anxious.

Seeing Bai Mengdie's mother and daughter coming to buy meat, the owners of the meat stalls greeted them warmly.

Bai Mengdie and Tian Chunfang were about to go directly to the owner of the meat stall who sold meat to them last time, when they heard someone shouting affectionately: "Sister-in-law, Fluttershy, if you buy meat, you will buy ours, you can't write two white words in one stroke, we are a family, you can't help but take care of us." ”

Bai Mengdie's mother and daughter turned their heads at the same time and saw Yao Cuihua and Bai Aijia, who had set up a stall and were selling her drowned pork.

Bai Aijia was a little embarrassed to avoid the eyes of her mother and daughter, but Yao Cuihua stared at her mother and daughter with a sneer.

Bai Mengdie saw that the color of her pork was wrong, how dare she buy it, and pulled Tian Chunfang to the pork stall owner who had given them preferential treatment before.

Yao Cuihua's face suddenly fell, and she said in a strange manner: "If you don't buy your own pork, if you buy someone else's, your elbow will turn out!" ”

Bai Mengdie was too lazy to quarrel with her.

Her mother and daughter can make her angry to death by buying other people's pork, and they don't have to quarrel with her at all.

The mother and daughter asked the ripe butcher stall owner about the price of ribs and pork knuckle.

The owner of the butcher stall was afraid of running the business, and besides, he was a regular customer, so the price he gave was very fair.

Tian Chunfang then bought three catties of pork ribs and a pork knuckle.

When paying, the butcher stall owner said with a hint of pleading: "Sister-in-law, you can buy this pork belly and this pair of pig intestines too, and I will sell them to you cheaply." ”

With such a heavy rainstorm, there were no people in the market for a long time, and the stall owner really wanted to sell a little more.

Tian Chunfang asked: "Then how do you sell pork belly and pig intestine?" ”

The owner of the butcher stall quoted a super low price.

Tian Chunfang looked very hesitant.

The owner of the meat stall gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, if you buy this pork belly, I will give you this pig intestine for free." ”

Bai Mengdie loves to eat fat sausages, and instigated Tian Chunfang to say: "Mom, buy it, just help the uncle." ”

The stall owner secretly admired Bai Mengdie's ability to speak in his heart, and crawled along the pole and said, "Sister-in-law, you can do me a favor." ”

Tian Chunfang said: "Then you weigh me this pork belly." ”

The owner of the meat stall picked up the pork belly and weighed it on the scale, and then showed Tian Chunfang the scale: "This pork belly is not big, only two catties and two taels, I only count two catties, you give ten yuan." ”

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, the business was too bad on a rainy day, and the owner of the butcher stall sold this pork belly to send the scales and sent the pig's large intestine, I am afraid that he would lose money.

Although selling meat is more profitable, all the money earned is the money of the villagers, the scales must be sufficient, the price must be fair, and the money earned is also hard money.

Bai Mengdie couldn't bear to take advantage of others, so she rushed to pay and secretly paid five more yuan.

The mother and daughter took the pork ribs and pork belly and other ingredients they bought before leaving, and the owner of the butcher stall stopped Bai Mengdie: "Girl, you gave an extra five yuan." With that, he handed Bai Mengdie a five-yuan bill.

Bai Mengdie didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I didn't give much, I was thinking that it was not easy for my uncle to keep a meat stall, and I couldn't take advantage of the bad weather to rob the business, so I added five yuan." ”

The owner of the meat stall was very moved when he heard this, he took a knife in his hand, cut a large piece of pork liver and stuffed it in a plastic bag to Bai Mengdie: "You take this piece of pork liver, don't be polite to the uncle, if this pork liver can't be sold today, you don't have to throw it away." ”

Bai Mengdie accepted it.
