Guo Xiaoxi didn't care about their envious eyes, she walked to the door of Uncle Guo's house and knocked on his door, "Uncle Guo!" Are you there? ”

"Who?" Uncle Guo's daughter-in-law, Guo Ningshi wiped the water on her hands, she was washing vegetables and preparing to cook at this time, muttering in her heart that listening to this voice was a little unfamiliar, it wouldn't be where she came to eat.

"Aunt Ning, I'm a raccoon!" A crisp voice sounded, "I'm here to thank Uncle Guo for helping us carry people home today, and by the way, I came to buy some food, and the rice at home is gone." ”

The villagers who passed behind her all looked at her more, Guo Quan's family is really rich now, they all eat rice, now no one is rich, who doesn't have a child or something, they have to save silver to marry their daughter-in-law or something, they can save on food, most of the rice is kept and sold when someone comes to collect it, and the expenses of this family rely on this grain to sustain it.

Buy rice! Guo Ning's footsteps were neat, and he hurriedly walked to the door and opened the door, looking at her with a smile on his face, "Where is the need to be grateful, everyone is a person from the village, and these are the things to do~" She turned around and shouted into the house, "In charge, the little fox is here to thank you!" ”

"This is to thank you in person, if it weren't for Uncle Guo's kindness to help us carry the person back, if I and my brother and He Juan carried it back if we delay the life, the person's life would be gone."

Guo Ning's heart was very comfortable, so many families in this village have rice, why did they choose her family to buy it, this must be for the sake of her family's help, she came over, she enthusiastically took Guo Xiaoci's hand and walked into the house.

Guo Hetong stood up, with embarrassment on his honest face, picked up the yellowed bowl on the table and poured her a bowl of water, "This is all a small matter, how can you come to the door in person to thank you and drink water." ”

"Uncle Guo, I'm here to buy rice, my rice tank is empty, so I want to exchange some rice and white flour with you by the way." She put the two bags she had been carrying on the table, took the water he handed over, and took a sip.

"How much do you want to pack?" Guo Ningshi was frightened when she heard this, white flour, they eat corn flour mixed with wheat flour to make steamed buns, who is willing to eat good white flour, she thought of this and couldn't help but persuade, "Little fox, you listen to Aunt Ning, this white flour is a precious thing, it is all eaten by rich people, although your family has silver for a while, but this also has to save some flowers, or you will be filled with a bag of rice, and then a bag of cornmeal mixed with wheat flour." ”

"No, Aunt Ning, don't worry, I have the silver to give." Guo Xiaoxi didn't have any copper plates on her body, the smallest silver on the person she rescued was broken silver, she roughly calculated the price according to the others she saw in her memory, here one or two broken silver is equal to a thousand dollars, she simply took out a broken silver and put it on the table.

The sky was just dark, and it was not yet the time when he couldn't see his five fingers, Uncle Guo's house had not yet lit the lamp in order to save oil, Guo Ningshi saw that she took a tael of silver, and the eyeballs were about to pop out, so he hurriedly lit the oil lamp, and the dim room brightened.

Guo Hetong's reaction was not as exaggerated as his daughter-in-law's, he just raised his eyebrows, "Little fox, these two pieces of silver can buy a lot of rice and white noodles, and the bag you take, I think it can only hold about ten catties." ”

Guo Xiaoxi looked at the bag a little helplessly, this is the largest bag she can turn out at home, otherwise she would not come alone to change food, she can be sure of how much she can mention, "I don't have any money in my hand, and I don't feel at ease when I go to other people's homes, so I came to you to exchange food, I want to exchange more food and go back, but you look at my body, I can't mention so much." "When she came, she thought about it, anyway, they were all close to the same village.

When Guo Ning heard this, she wanted to buy more food and go back, she patted her thigh, "Harm, what are you talking about, little fox, where are you still using it, you just say how many catties you want to buy, I will let Uncle Guo send it to your house!" This bag can't fit in the way, I have a bag at home, and then take it out after pouring the rice jar! ”

"Wouldn't it be too much trouble......

"No trouble! What's the trouble. Guo Hetong interrupted her, in this case, Guo Xiaoxi's big round eyes turned, and it really helped her save a lot of things, "Then Uncle Guo, I want fifty catties of rice and forty catties of white flour." ”

This white flour is used to make steamed buns for Guo Quan to take to his uncle's house to eat, before his uncle and his family kindly left him to eat at home, how can this work for a long time, now there is silver at home, and it is convenient to bring steamed buns by yourself, "Is this two silver enough?" "She doesn't know the price yet.

"Enough! This white flour is ten cents a catty, and the rice is twelve cents, which is just one tael of silver. Guo Ningshi quickly calculated this number, she was staring at it every year when she was selling rice, so she counted it out, "In charge, I'll go and light you, and you go to the rice warehouse to load grain for the little fox." ”

"Little fox, you sit here, and I'll call you later." It just so happened that his family had a cart that could be sent directly to her house, and Guo Ning shouted to the east side of the house, "Caizi, you come out first to greet the little fox~" She put the broken silver in her arms.

"Hey, mother!" Walking out of that room, a quiet girl was wearing clothes that looked very old but still clean, and looked at her with curious eyes on her somewhat yellowed face, is this Guo Xiaoci of the Guo family who is suddenly not crazy? This is indeed a very new thing in their remote village.

Guo Xiaoli nodded and sat down, regardless of her gaze, and shouted politely, "Sister Cai~"

She remembered that Uncle Guo's daughter had already been promised to others, and the wedding date had been set, and she was married to the Ning family in the neighboring village, and when she saw others bullying her, she would always help drive away those who bullied her, so Guo Xiaoci had a good impression of her.

"Hey, does the little fox sister still need to drink water?" Guo Mingcai walked in and saw the empty bowl in front of her, bent down to pick up the kettle on the side, and steadily poured water for her.

"Thank you, Sister Cai~" Guo Xiaoci was really thirsty, and he picked it up and drank it unceremoniously.
