Chapter 8 Request for Acceptance
"You're not bothered! Noisy all day long for some trivial things, I'm ashamed if you're not tired! If you make trouble again and give Xiaoluo the money that your eldest brother brought back, we will split up! "Su Changgeng really doesn't understand Zhang Xingye, a woman who stares at her niece all day long without doing anything, how idle she is!
"That old and young don't eat or drink! The silver has long been spent, and I have no opinion if they leave, don't worry about the things in this family. Zhang Xingye wanted to drive her mother-in-law and Su Xiaoluo to the old house, and the idea was not a day or two, it was okay to split up, she didn't want to build things, even if it was a wooden stick, she didn't want Su Xiaoluo to take it away.
"Don't forget, our mother can't just let the eldest brother raise me, I am also a son and I have to be filial, if you can't get the money, shut up, and then argue with you to live in the old house!" Su Changgeng's words successfully dispelled Zhang Xingye's arrogance.
After it got dark, Su Xiaoluo quietly went to the backyard to get back the wild duck eggs, peeled one and handed it to his grandmother.
"Xiaoluo, where did you get the eggs!"
"Milk, this is the wild duck egg I picked up from the mountain, eat it!" Zhang Xingye must not let them see the wild duck eggs, otherwise they will have to get angry.
Su Qin's family had several wild duck eggs before they met, thinking of his little grandson Su Fusheng, and wanted to say that he would leave one for his little grandson, but when he thought of his daughter-in-law and that Qian Baozhen, he had to dispel his thoughts.
Su Xiaoluo pretended not to understand her grandmother's tangled expression, and lowered her head to eat wild duck eggs, it's not that she didn't feel sorry for her cousin, in case the matter of wild duck eggs reached Zhang Xingye's ears, she would definitely use the topic to make trouble endlessly.
At night, Zhang Xingye shouted that Su Xiaoluo would wash Qian Baogen's clothes, and when his voice was about to burst, Su Xiaoluo shook off the sentence "Men and women don't kiss" and then slammed the door.
Zhang Xingye scolded in the courtyard for a full quarter of an hour, and then Su Changgeng dragged her back to the house before she stopped.
"It's good when your father will come back, add a fence in the middle of the yard, and your second aunt may be able to stop a little." Su Qin looked forward to it.
These methods treat the symptoms but not the root cause, the best way to solve the problem is to completely divide the family, Su Xiaoluo looked at her grandmother with pity, if you don't completely split the family, I am afraid that your wish for the two families to live in peace is not easy to realize!
The next day, after Su Xiaoluo finished making breakfast, she helped her grandmother boil some herbs picked yesterday, watched her drink it, picked up a bamboo basket and went out, and sent a basket full of pigweed back and left.
This time she went up the mountain, she took two old cloth bags from her home to keep the wild soybean seeds, and today she sold ginseng to buy some grain and put it here in case of emergency.
Following the marks left yesterday to find the cave and separate the bean seeds from the nuts, Su Xiaoluo was already hungry and "cooing".
"Sister, it's early!" The little squirrel lived in the big tree in front of the cave, and when he saw Su Xiaoluo coming, he ran over to say hello.
Su Xiaoluo gave the little squirrel a big smile, lit a fire and took water and began to cook wild duck eggs.
"Is my sister looking for beans today?"
"Not today, I'm going to the county seat, tomorrow!"
All right! The little squirrel told Su Xiaoluo that it and the long-tailed bird had contacted the boss, so that Su Xiaoluo would look better tomorrow.
I really want to ask if your boss is a human or an animal! Why do you keep telling yourself to come back when you're dressed up? Su Xiaoluo didn't understand the thoughts of the animals, ate two wild duck eggs, left some food for the little squirrels and birds, and walked from here to the county seat for an hour!
Liulin Village is under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, which is located on the outskirts of Beijing, less than half a day's journey from the capital.
Su Xiaoluo found a pharmacy and asked the other party if he would accept medicinal materials.
"Little girl, where are the medicinal herbs you brought!" The pharmacy guy asked, Su Xiaoluo walked straight to the counter, found the shopkeeper and took out the ginseng in his arms.
After the shopkeeper checked the ginseng, he glanced at Su Xiaoluo: "Little girl, how much do you plan to sell this ginseng!" ”
Although this ginseng plant is not big, it is worth twenty or thirty taels of silver! Because he didn't know much about the price of Qifeng, Su Xiaoluo thought about it and asked for fifty taels.
The shopkeeper listened to the price given by Su Xiaoluo, and began to find faults, and after a while, he disliked the ginseng beard, and then said that the ginseng had scars on it, and it was not worth the price, and the ginseng of this quality was worth ten taels of silver at most.
He said that it was worth ten taels, and the real value must be more than that, Su Xiaoluo took back the ginseng and put it in his arms, planning to change to a pharmacy and ask.
Seeing that Su Xiao left without looking back, the shopkeeper chased her out and pulled her back: "You kid, you can bargain if the price is low!" Why are you leaving? ”
"Fifty taels, not a single copper plate is missing!"
"Twenty taels, pay with one hand and deliver with the other."
"Fifty taels, less don't talk!"
"Thirty taels, it really can't be more."
The two finally sold for forty-three taels of silver, and Su Xiaoluo asked for four silver tickets of ten taels, two taels of broken silver, and a copper coin.
With the money in hand, Su Xiaoluo first bought some brown sugar and jujubes, wanting to buy some grain, but when he inquired, he found out that the grain store was not on this street.
Su Xiaoluo was in a hurry to go home and didn't have the heart to go shopping, she wanted to go through the market to buy some food, but she was coerced by the flow of people and deviated from the direction.
finally broke free from the flow of people, and saw a group of people pointing around, she turned around and wanted to leave, and was squeezed into the crowd by some aunts.
On the ground lay a boy of six or seven years old, his little face was flushed, and his small body was curled up in the shape of a shrimp, looking very painful.
This kid didn't know which one it belonged to, he looked so pitiful, and when Su Xiaoluo hesitated and didn't know whether to step forward or not, he was pushed out of the crowd by a force.
No way! When I wanted to squeeze out, I couldn't do it with all my might, and now I want to be an invisible person, but I was pushed out, what kind of operation is this!
Now that you're standing up, let's take a look! Su Xiaoluo squatted down and turned the child over and hugged him in his arms: "Little brother, wake up, tell my sister where you are uncomfortable!" ”
The boy didn't react at all, Su Xiaoluo picked him up and wanted to send him to the hospital, at this time, a lot of bright red "blood" flowed from the corner of the boy's mouth, and the lively people hula dispersed, looking at Su Xiaoluo and the boy from a distance.
"Little guy, I'll send you to the hospital now, you must hold on!" After saying this, Su Xiaoluo picked up the boy and walked back to find a medical center.
Walking to a place where there were few people, Su Xiaoluo heard a muffled laugh in his arms, and when he looked down, the boy had already opened his eyes.
"You're awake!" Su Xiaoluo thought straight to Amitabha Buddha in her heart, if this child was seriously ill or had some accident, she really didn't know what to do.
"Sister, did you save me?" The little guy wiped the corners of his mouth, his face was not red at the moment, his breath was smooth, and his eyes were shining, just like the two of them just now.
"Little one, you're not sick, are you? Then what play did you ...... just now?"
The little boy laughed twice and jumped off the ground from Su Xiaoluo's arms: "My sister is a good person at first glance, you can take me in!" ”
