Chapter Eighty-Five: Selling
Chen Wen hummed a song into the house, Li Suniang heard the sound, turned her head and asked her, "Why are you in such a good mood?" ”
Chen Wen moved a stool and sat beside his grandmother, supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you ask me before, do you want to sell some of the silk cotton cloth?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Li Suniang nodded, in fact, she was a little angry when she talked about this. Her idea was to sell some of the cotton cloth, anyway, the rest would be enough for Chen Wen to make a winter coat, but no matter how she said it, Chen Wen either avoided the problem or changed the topic.
After a long time, she didn't want to mention it again.
Thinking, since that's the case, let her keep it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wen mentioned it first.
"I agreed to sell some of it."
"Huh?"
This time, Li Suniang was quite puzzled, didn't she want to sell it? Why did you go to see the merchant and let go?
Could it be that you understand that silk is much more expensive than ordinary cotton?
Chen Wen didn't explain, but took his grandmother's hand and said softly: "I agree, don't be angry with me." ”
Li Suniang was stunned, glanced at Chen Wen carefully, and sighed secretly in her heart.
This little girl has sharp eyes. She thinks she's hiding her emotions well, and she can find out!
Li Suniang grabbed Chen Wen's hand and combed her sideburns: "It's a little angry, it's more angry that you are avoiding the problem." ”
It's not a big deal to be angry with her style of doing things, but she will only blindly escape. If she was tougher and said that she didn't want to sell, then she would be better.
Chen Wen lay on her lap and coquettishly, admitting his mistake quickly: "Not in the future." ”
"Okay."
Chen Wen remembered the cotton cloth that had been packed in a bag and placed in the bedroom, blinked, and said, "Then I will leave this matter to grandma, and I will just ask." ”
"Give it to me?"
"That's right." Chen Wen raised his head, his eyes were bright, and he looked straight at Li Suniang: "I haven't been to the town, let alone understand the market, how to sell, what price to sell, I don't know." ”
Even if it is to make clothes for others, it seems to be ...... The business took the initiative to come to the door?
Therefore, Chen Wen only reacted now, feeling that he seemed to have suffered a loss, he had never been to a prosperous place, he had no knowledge, and even the price of clothes was set arbitrarily.
After all, she has been here for a long time, the farthest place she has been to is Zhenglin Village, the most 'luxurious' car she has ever sat in is the ox cart crowded together by many people, the richest person she has ever seen is Zheng Jiang, and the most beautiful person she has seen is Sister Shuhua......
Is this short-sighted?
It seems that if you have the chance, you really have to go out and walk.
Chen Wen looked at his grandmother with a smile: "I want to go to the town for a walk." ”
Li Suniang glanced at her, pouted, helpless.
The temperament of this housekeeper has to be urged twice before he goes out for a walk...... She wants to go outside sincerely, someone drives to town every day, she has a chance to go, does she have to wait until now?
I knew that when Chen Wen bought silkworms last time, I should have taken her out to have a look.
"I won't stop you."
Chen Wen grabbed his grandmother's finger and said hurriedly: "Not now!" I'll go back next time I have a chance. ”
Li Suniang couldn't help laughing: "I didn't let you go now." ”
Chen Wen nodded again and again: "Well, next time, next time." "It's best to take Alain with you next time.
Otherwise, she is not familiar with life, how scared she is.
"Okay, I'll ask Xiang Ying to ask her son to take a look in the city and look for a buyer."
"Hmm." Chen Wen nodded.
Li Suniang pushed her and stood up: "I'll go find Xiangying now." ”
Chen Wen was stunned: "So urgent? ”
After asking, Chen Wen thought for a while. Also, it's still summer, you have to find a good buyer first, and it's always right to plan ahead.
"Then I'll go with you."
"Together?"
Chen Wen nodded heavily, he didn't give cloth for a few businesses, and he promised the merchant that he didn't have a cloth for his purse, anyway, it's okay to be idle now, so he should go for a ride and come back...... Although the sun is shining outside now.
Li Suniang didn't say much, but agreed to Chen Wen's request.
But after a while, she suddenly gave Chen Wen a preventive shot: "I may have to stay at Xiangying's house for a while and come back, if you can't sit still, you will come back to cook a meal later." ”
"Hmm."
Chen Wen expressed her understanding that grandma and Grandma Xiangying were good friends, and there were always endless things to say, just like her and Zhang Alan.
Xiangying's grandmother's house was not too far away, and Chen Wen and Li Suniang walked quickly.
When she arrived at her house, Grandma Xiangying sat under the eaves and took the soles of her shoes, and her work was fast.
Li Suniang shouted Xiangying's name, she looked up, and the first thing she did not greet Li Suniang was, but cheerfully shouted Chen Wen's name, and wanted to stand over with a cane.
Chen Wen hurriedly went over to help her, Xiangying's grandmother was not very old, and her legs and feet were not good because she sat all year round, and her hair was half white.
Chen Wen glanced at her hair, tied her braids today, coiled her hair low, and spoke to Chen Wen in a very slow tone.
It can be seen that when she was young, she was a gentle woman.
When Xiangying knew that Chen Wen had become Li Suniang's granddaughter, she was also like her own granddaughter to Chen Wen, and the two old people liked her very much.
Li Suniang approached: "What are you doing when you stand up if your legs are not good?" ”
Xiangying also glanced at Li Suniang's feet: "How are you doing?" "They all suffered when they were young.
"Better than you, no more crutches."
The two 'laughed' at each other, and Chen Wen didn't hear it until Grandma Xiangying's thin hand touched her arm.
"Why did you come to my house today?"
It was looking at Chen Wen and talking to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen smiled and said, "I missed you, so I came." ”
made the two of them look at each other and smile, especially Grandma Xiangying, who smiled happily and poked Chen Wen's little face affectionately: "Today's little mouth is smeared with honey, right?" ”
"I didn't smear honey one day."
Chen Wen is self-assured, coaxing children and the elderly, and he is the best.
Indeed, Xiangying was coaxed by her and patted her little hand: "Go to the house and get some snacks to eat." ”
"......" Chen Wen knows.
The last time she came, she also said a few words, and she was stuffed with a lot of snacks by Grandma Xiangying. It seems that, in her eyes, there is no child who doesn't like to eat snacks.
Of course, Chen Wen was an accident, she didn't like to eat snacks.
Because she is not a child again, although she has the body of a child.
Therefore, Chen Wen rejected her again, just like he rejected her last time.
"I won't eat it." Without waiting for Xiangying to say anything more, Chen Wen hurriedly said, "You guys talk first, I'll go out for a walk." ”
"It's only been a while since I arrived, and I haven't even drunk any water or eaten anything."
This time, it was no longer Chen Wen who refused by herself, Li Suniang helped her refuse: "Okay, you, we are really guests." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and waved his hand to Chen Wen: "Let's go out and take a walk." ”
Chen Wen nodded.
