Chapter Fifty-Nine: Concern from Mother Wu
Qingmei saw that Helan had bought so many buns at once, and instantly covered her heart, and then said, "Why are you such a loser?" Spend so much money to buy so many steamed buns, why don't you buy some meat and let our mother make it for you. ”
"We don't have much white noodles at home, and they are not enough to make a pot of steamed buns, so we have already bought them, so if you want to eat them, you can take them quickly."
At this moment, Wu's father and Wu Qingzhu drove their own carriage to this side.
Father Wu looked at the bun in Helan's hand, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Helan saw two people coming over and hurriedly handed over the buns: "One meat and one vegetable, two for one person, it's still hot." ”
Wu Qingzhu was not polite, and took the bun handed over by Helan and stuffed it in his mouth: "I haven't eaten white bread for a long time, but I've been thinking about this for a long time." ”
Helan smiled, and handed the bun in his hand to Father Wu, who shook his head: "Keep mine, take it back to your grandfather and a few of them to eat." ”
Helan smiled and didn't take it to heart: "You can eat it with confidence, grandpa and theirs must be indispensable, if you take it back at this time, it won't be bad, and it will definitely not be delicious, so you can buy it when you leave." ”
Father Wu looked at the bun stuffed in his arms, hesitated for a while, and then stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.
The main thing is that if he doesn't eat it, Qingmei and Helan are probably embarrassed to eat, besides, arguing about a few buns on the main road is too imageless.
Qingmei was also relieved to see that her father had eaten it, and took a vegetarian bun from Helan first, and ate it in small bites.
After eating the buns in twos, Wu's father drove the carriage and took a few people to the next destination.
What they want to go to is a market, where the most food is eaten, such as all kinds of snacks, snacks and dried fruits, as well as various seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as chicken, duck and fish and other agricultural products.
They came today mainly to sell the grain, and also to sell the eggs that the family had saved for a while, and during this time, the dozen or so chickens in the family laid eggs.
Last winter, Wu's mother raised a few more chicks from other homes, and Na Cheng thought that her own hens had hatched four or five by herself.
This year's spring, the chickens have grown into big chickens, all of a sudden the yard was occupied by these chickens, these days a group of chickens accidentally jumped into the vegetable garden, the sudden new world made them linger, the garden vegetables to eat a lot.
Finding this scene, Gou Yu immediately ran to complain to Wu's mother.
The angry mother Wu took a knife to stew chicken soup that day, but fortunately, Wu's father stopped Wu's mother in time who was puffing up and wanted to kill the chickens, and it happened that today he brought chickens and eggs to sell them.
First, I found a cool and empty place to squat, and then put my things out.
After all, the place was smaller, not enough for four people to sit, so Wu's father asked his aunt and sister-in-law to hide behind the carriage to hide from the sun.
As for Wu Qingzhu, after they arrived at this place, they said that they went to the bookstore they used to go to often, saying that they were going to see if the bookstore was still there.
Originally, the two sisters-in-law also planned to follow to take a look, but the sun was really hot at this time, and they were full of sweat when they moved.
Looking at Wu Qingzhu's distant back, the two of them could only sigh and continue to squat under the carport with stones and scribble.
Not long after Wu Qingzhu left, someone came to Wu's father's stall to ask, and Helan stretched out her head to the side from time to time to listen to what was being discussed.
At this time, a lady next to her looked at the two people a little funny, and then took out two yellow apricots from the basket and handed them over: "Here, take it and eat it." ”
Both of them were stunned, looked carefully, and they didn't seem to know each other, and neither of them picked up the sudden kindness.
"I've been selling here all morning, and I haven't sold it out, and it is estimated that most of it will be broken in the evening, and it is fate to meet, and it is nothing to send you two."
"How embarrassing is this, these are going to be sold for money, or how do you sell them, we bought them."
"Oh, no, just a few fruits that grow at home, where you can use a few dollars, just take it, it just so happens that I have to change places."
The old man put the fruit into the arms of the two men, stood up, hugged his basket, and led the little grandson next to him out of the place.
The two of them didn't react, looking at the two apricots in their hands, they couldn't react, they wanted to do something for the old man, but look at it again, they have already gone away.
Since there was no way to send the apricots back to the hands of the two people, the two of them smiled, rubbed them on their clothes, and planned to eat it.
The two broke one open, one in half, and then handed the other to Wu's father.
In this era, there is still trust between people, such as this old lady, who wears simple clothes, shabby clothes, but her hair is combed very smoothly.
The little grandson sat on the side and kept nibbling on a peach, and from time to time he glanced at the two of them.
Father Wu only asked where the apricots came from, and when he heard that the old lady in the stall next door gave them, he took them and stuffed them into his mouth.
I bit faster, and the sudden sour smell almost soured my teeth.
After eating the apricots, several people stayed in the market for another hour before selling their things.
Father Wu counted the silver money several times before he was relieved to put it into his arms, as for how much silver money was sold, the two sisters-in-law are not clear, but the approximate amount can still be estimated.
Just when Helan thought he was leaving, Wu's father pulled the two of them and walked towards the city again.
"Dad, are we going to find my brother?"
"No, I'll go to a place first and then pick up your brother."
Hearing this, Qingmei didn't continue to ask, she just thought that there was something missing at home and needed to buy it.
What people didn't expect was that the place where Father Wu and two people came was a shop selling cloth and satin.
From a distance, the business of this house is not very good, and there are few people going back and forth.
When I entered the store, I saw a few pieces of fabric hanging on a wall and a table, and the quality was all on the middle or low level, and it was obvious that there were some small flaws in the fabric.
The two of them stood at the door and looked at Father Wu with a question mark on their faces, and they didn't know why they came here.
At this time, Wu's father opened his mouth: "Your mother asked me to take you to buy two pieces of cloth, one is for the eldest daughter-in-law, your mother said that you didn't have anything when you got married, and I was a little sorry for you, so I thought about buying a piece of cloth to make new clothes for you." ”
Then he turned his head to Wu Qingmei and said: "Your marriage is about to be decided, I used your wedding dress at the beginning, and promised you to make a new dress, your mother didn't forget, now it's better to buy it and go back and prepare slowly." ”
After Father Wu's words were finished, the hearts of the two of them were warm, their hearts were moved, and their faces were happy. didn't refuse, and walked to the counter where the store was used as fabric, but neither of them looked at the good fabric.
At this time, Xiao Er next to the counter also ran to the two of them diligently, raised a smile and said to the two people: "What clothes are the two girls going to make?" The small one is recommended to you. ”
