Chapter 471: Life is Complete
The little girl is very good-looking, but the pile of sweet potatoes in front of her is really not very good-looking, big and small, and some are crooked.
Although the little girl is good-looking, she is not a business material at first glance, and she doesn't dare to look at people when she shrinks her head down...... That's it, she can't sell her sweet potatoes in a whole set!
"Mother, let's go there," Xu Jingsi said and pointed to the girl who sold sweet potatoes, "Buy some sweet potatoes and go back to roast and eat." ”
Xu Jingniang looked in the direction of her finger and immediately smiled, "Isn't that Xu Yue?" You don't know your sister anymore? ”
Xu Yue? The child of the third uncle's family? The academic performance is very good, and the one who gave me fifty yuan?
Xu Jingsi took a few serious glances and found that it was really familiar.
She is wearing the most ordinary flower gown, with a bulging cotton jacket and two pigtails, and she is also very thin, similar to Pingping, as if she has not grown, but she is fairer than Pingping, and she is weaker than Wenwen, and she looks like a child who goes to school.
"It's her." Xu Jingsi said and walked over there without hesitation, since it was his own family, he had to help even more.
She walked over, squatted in front of the stall, and asked while picking sweet potatoes, "How do you sell sweet potatoes?" ”
The little girl said weakly, "Five..... Five cents a pound. ”
Xu Jingsi...... She turned around and asked her mother, "Mother, is the sweet potato the price?" ”
Xu Jingniang shook her head, "I don't know about this." ”
There are a few people in the countryside who buy sweet potatoes.
Xu Yue may not recognize Xu Jingsi as Xu Jing at first sight, but she knows her second aunt's voice without looking at it.
So when she heard Xu Jingniang's voice, she looked up, and then felt very embarrassed, and shouted, "Auntie, you are also here to catch the market!" ”
Xu Jingniang said, "Yue, why did you come to sell sweet potatoes, what about your mother?" ”
"My mother went to my grandmother's house to make a quilt for her." Xu Yue looked at Xu Jingsi and shouted in surprise, "Sister? ”
Xu Jingsi looked at her with a smile, "Recognize me?" ”
If the second lady was not here, Xu Yue would not dare to recognize Xu Jingsi, because the person in front of her was just a little bit of her cousin's appearance when she was a child.
In my memories since I was a child, my cousin had little time to stop except for walking around the street unkempt, strolling around eating this and that, and arguing with whom.
And now the woman in front of me has a gorgeous temperament, why did my cousin suddenly become like this?
But she has a very close feeling in her heart, and the person she is most grateful to in her heart is her cousin, because without her, she would not have the opportunity to go to school. I heard early this morning that she and Brother Xu Fei were back, in fact, she really wanted to say a few words to her cousin, but today's fair, her mother asked her to sell sweet potatoes.
Xu Jingsi looked left and right, and there was a roasted sweet potato seller not far away, so she said to Xu Yue, "You wait, my sister will sell the sweet potato for you." ”
Xu Yue hurriedly said, "Sister, you go to the market, I'll just wait here." ”
Xu Jingsi stood up and smiled, "How long have you been leaning on here, it's better to go home and read and study if you have this time, wait." ”
After saying that, she walked in the direction of selling roasted sweet potatoes.
After a while, she brought the proprietress who sold roasted sweet potatoes over, Xu Jingsi pointed to the pile of sweet potatoes and said, "Eight cents a catty, take it all." ”
Eight points!
Xu Yue was obviously taken aback, her cousin's asking price was too expensive.
The proprietress squatted down and flipped through the sweet potatoes to find faults, "This small one is too small, and it's too troublesome to feed the pigs, five cents, five cents a pound, I'll take it all." ”
Xu Jingsi was distressed, "Five cents is too cheap." ”
The proprietress frowned and said, "If you don't sell it, forget it, don't delay my business." ”
Xu Jingsi waved her hand and said distressedly, "Forget it, give it to you, otherwise I have to carry it back." ”
The deal is done, and the proprietress is not picky, "Okay, then you can take it to me over there, and we will calculate the money after we weigh it." ”
Xu Yue was a little dazed, she had been here for almost two hours, her snot and water were frozen, and her cousin sold them as soon as she came?
Xu Jingniang pushed Xu Yue, "Yue, why are you still stunned, hurry up and take the sweet potato." ”
Xu Yue reacted, and hurriedly squatted down to pack up all the sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato is a total of thirty-six catties, calculated according to thirty-five catties, 5 cents a catty, a total of 1 piece 7 cents 5.
More than 30 pounds of sweet potatoes......
Xu Jingsi looked at the big basket on Xu Yue's shoulder in confusion, "You brought these sweet potatoes on your back?" ”
Xu Yue carefully put a piece of seven cents and five cents into his pocket and nodded.
Xu Jingsi looked at her thin and weak little body, and sighed secretly in her heart, the third aunt is really good, such a thin person, let her carry such a big basket, it's really unbearable!
Xu Jingsi reached out and patted her shoulder, "Okay, you won't have any psychological pressure when the sweet potatoes are sold, let's go, let's go to the market, sister invites you to eat sugar gourds." ”
Xu Yue's fair and clean face was a little embarrassed, "No need sister, I still have to go back to do my homework." ”
Xu Jingsi said seriously, "You haven't sold out of sweet potatoes yet, and you've sold sweet potatoes for a morning." ”
Xu Yue...... Can it still be like this?
Xu Yue is the age of fun, Xu Jingsi persuaded her slightly, she agreed, and followed her cousin and second aunt to catch up with the New Year's fair.
Xu Yue was very happy, but she felt heavy in her heart while being happy, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, it felt like a dream, but it was very real.
They ate sugar gourds together, bought hair flowers, hairpins, and alabaster cream, and when it was almost noon, they also went to the food stall to eat baked cakes and drink spicy soup, Xu Yue felt that his life had not been so easy for more than ten years.
And....... She thinks her cousin is too good, she doesn't mean that her cousin generously spends money on things for her, but that she has seen a lot of different things in her cousin.
For example, she asked her cousin, how did she remember to sell sweet potatoes to roasted sweet potatoes?
My cousin told her that the fundamental reason was that she wanted to use her time to what she thought would be useful, and in order to save the time she thought was useful, she could come up with a way to sell the sweet potatoes all at once.
My cousin's words made Xu Yue suddenly enlightened, you should set goals when doing things, otherwise your energy will be wasted!
Xu Jingsi didn't realize that she had gained a little fan girl!
Eating the crispy baked pancakes and drinking the spicy spicy soup, the tip of Xu Jingsi's nose was full of beads of sweat, what a cool word!
Making up for the shortcomings that were never realized when she was a child, Xu Jingsi finally felt that her life was complete!
