Chen Wen gathered the clothes on his body, rubbed his hands, took a breath of heat, and tiptoed to see if anyone was coming from the village.

Autumn has arrived, the cool breeze is gusting, and it is strangely cold.

People come and go, but she doesn't see the people Chen Wen wants to wait, she hides her lost look, and after a while, she waits energetically.

There was an aunt who walked back and forth twice, kept seeing Chen Wen standing still, and asked curiously: "Hasn't he come yet?" ”

"Not yet."

"It's late today, I don't think he will come today, you can go back earlier."

"Okay."

Chen Wen was as good as he could, but he was still standing there waiting and waiting.

Chen Wen, who finally gave up, sighed deeply, thinking a lot.

She has been waiting for two star futures men, but he has never been from Zhangjia Village once, Chen Wen is really strange.

She has never seen a more diligent person than a merchant, every day according to the shift and the order, when she says to come, when she comes, where there is like now, she does not come back for two weeks.

Chen Wen couldn't help but be frightened.

Why not come? Is something wrong, or is it ......?

Chen Wen didn't know, but she vaguely felt that it should be related to her business.

Don't be that the big list is in the soup, and the merchant feels ashamed of her, so he doesn't come, right?

Although she will be disappointed, it doesn't matter, she can still have a long-term relationship with the merchant, maybe there will be such a big order, quietly coming.

Of course, these are Chen Wen's conjectures.

Thinking about the order in the soup, and she had already made more than forty purses, she suddenly panicked.

In this way, she has to save money for a long time, and she has to find a way to sell her purse.

I knew that I wouldn't have been embroidering all the time a few days ago, it was better to make a winter coat as soon as possible, and it was only autumn, and I was so cold.

Chen Wen didn't want to worry about the merchant anymore, so he wanted to go home quickly.

When I got home, I quickly shrunk into the bed.

Li Suniang was taking shoes, and looked at her casually when she heard the sound: "What?" Didn't wait for the merchant. ”

"Hmm."

"Strange thing."

"Grandma thinks it's weird too." Chen Wen patted the quilt, supported his head with one hand, and frowned: "Has this kind of thing happened before?" ”

The merchant is the living food of ten miles and eight villages, and most people have to buy things from him.

Although there is more than one merchant walking around in Shili and Eight Villages, Chen Wen has only seen this one when he passes by Zhangjia Village.

"Yes." Li Suniang thought for a while and replied to her: "That time, it seems that his child is sick, and he hasn't come for a long time, but he doesn't come, and there are other merchants who come for him, like this time, it's rare." ”

I didn't come for two weeks.

It seems that the salt in the house is about to be broken, and if he does not come again, he will have to call someone to go to the city to buy some.

"You don't want to see me, do you?"

Li Suniang paused and nodded.

"Ah......" Chen Wen let out a wail and buried his face in the quilt in dissatisfaction.

"Lie to you, something is holding your feet, relax."

Chen Wen was still sullen: "Got it." ”

The merchant, there was really something to do, he was thinking about Chen Wen's matter, so he went to the county seat to ask, but it was really difficult to inquire about people, he squatted in the county for several days, and finally let him see the old woman again.

The old lady didn't remember him, and she suddenly realized when he mentioned the word purse.

Originally, he said a few things, told her all the things Chen Wen said to him, and then asked the old aunt's opinion, but the old aunt said that she would go back and ask the master.

Ask the master, and another half a day has passed, but fortunately, the result is good.

As a result, I don't know if it was bad luck, and on the way back, his ox cart broke a wheel halfway through.

There was a bunch of things in the car, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

As a result, he had to travel a long way to find someone to fix it.

Such a delay has been delayed for a long time.

Not only has Chen Wen's matter not been notified yet, but even a few villages have not been sent again.

As soon as the merchant went back, he rested for one night, and the next morning, he carried the load of goods and went to the countryside.

I deliberately left Zhangjiacun until the end, and it was already evening when I went.

The news of the merchant's arrival again spread everywhere, and almost every family went to resupply their goods.

Chen Wen's Li Suniang went, Li Suniang called Chen Wen to go and have a look, she didn't want it.

"I'm afraid of hearing bad news, grandma, you can ask him when the time comes, tell Chen Wen about good things, whether it is good news or bad news, and then come back and tell me earlier, and I will consider whether to go or not."

Li Suniang poked her head and said, "Think about it all the time." ”

"Not really." Well, Chen Wen admitted, she is glass-hearted.

As soon as Li Suniang left, Zhang Alan rushed out from next door, holding something in his arms and bulging.

"Hurry up, put it down, I'll go get firewood."

Zhang Alan put down the things in his arms, and the sweet potatoes fell to the ground one by one, Chen Wen took the firewood out, lit it, buried the sweet potatoes in it, and then sat aside to keep warm.

This sweet potato was dug by Chen Wen and Zhang Alan, as for why they were roasted secretly, it was because they were secretly dug in someone else's field.

In fact, it was not their fault that this sweet potato had grown to the side of the road, they dug two on the side of the road, and then found that it was planted by someone else, Chen Wen was stupid and wanted to bury it back, but Zhang Alan was bold and said that he would dig a few that no one knew.

So Chen Wen was moved, she hadn't eaten for a long time, so she followed Zhang Alan to do a sneaky sweet potato digging activity.

The two squatted together secretly, with their backs to the door, of course, the backs of the two thin little girls could not be covered tightly by firelight.

The sweet potatoes exuded a fragrance, and as soon as Chen Wen tore the skin, someone behind him spoke: "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Wen and Zhang Alan looked at each other stiffly, and without looking back, they turned their backs to their grandmother, Chen Wen said in a bit of a panic: "Why did you come back so early." ”

It's been less than fifteen minutes out, didn't grandma say there was a lot to buy? Why did she come back so soon, but unfortunately, she hadn't eaten it yet.

The hot temperature on her fingers, Chen Wen couldn't stand it, she buried the sweet potatoes back, and then wiped the black charcoal on her fingers casually.

Turning his head, he was stunned.

Grandma didn't come back alone.

She also brought the merchant back.

Li Suniang glanced at Zhang Alan behind Chen Wen and the firewood beside her, is it warm? Can't see clearly...... It's just a faint scent in the air.

Li Suniang didn't dig deeper, but turned her gaze back to Chen Wen's face: "Didn't I come back earlier and tell me if it was good news or bad news, I would have come back earlier." ”

Chen Wen smiled helplessly, and then bowed his head at the merchant.

"Is that good news or bad news?"

"Naturally, that's good news." The merchant put down the burden on his shoulders and replied to her: "How can it be bad news, it must be good news." ”

"You talk, I'll pour you a glass of water, and stay for dinner in the evening."

didn't wait for anyone to respond, Li Suniang went in.

Zhang Alan stuffed a mouthful of sweet potatoes, then glanced at Chen Wen, and ran away in a gloomy manner: "You guys talk first, I'll come back later." ”

Then, in an instant, only the merchant and Chen Wen were left.

Chen Wen hurriedly turned his head, shaved firewood, took out a sweet potato, and handed it to the merchant: "Do you want to eat?" ”
