Chapter 58: The Ancient Peasant Girl 8
Meng Changjin listened to the sound outside the house, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.
Where did the old man Yu not come back when he went to ask for a doctor for the second child, he simply rushed out of the yard when the two sons of the third child shouted that there were ghosts and did not come back.
For the old man, he seems to have a cowardly personality, but he is only to the old lady, and when he treats the client, he is as excessive as everyone else, but on the surface, he is an honest and honest person.
Meng Changjin took off his shoes and climbed into bed, the soft quilt had the smell of sunburning, compared with the memory of the client nesting in the dark and damp firewood room, Meng Changjin was a little angry, she glanced at Yu Jiaojiao's dresser through the light of the crescent moon, and happily decided to sell all the various hairpins of Yu Jiaojiao tomorrow.
After that, Meng Changjin closed his eyes and slept well.
When Meng Changjin was sleeping soundly, Yu Laosan came back.
Yu Laosan's side didn't see Old Man Yu.
"Where's your father?"
"Where's Grandpa?"
Old Lady Yu and Yu Jiaojiao asked at the same time.
Old Man Yu didn't find it back, they had to endure the sleepiness no matter how sleepy they were, seeing that Yu Laosan didn't find anyone back, he hurriedly asked.
"I searched for it on the way from our house to Dr. Song's house, but I didn't find it." Yu Laosan said.
In fact, after he went out, he took a detour, stayed for a while in a place that could block the light of the oil lamp, calculated the time and felt that it was about the same, and came back directly.
It was cold and dark in the middle of the night, and it was impossible for Yu Laosan to go all the way to find someone.
In his opinion, his father is not a three-year-old child anymore, and his five-year-old son understands the truth that he goes home, and there is no reason why his father should not understand.
Mrs. Yu was called up by Meng Changjin and had a sore back from cooking, and she couldn't find anyone at this time, so she had to give up.
Let everyone go back to their rooms to rest, as for the wife, her thoughts are the same as Yu Laosan, and she is not a three-year-old child, so she knows that she is back.
……
The next day, the genius was bright, and Meng Changjin was awakened by some abnormal sounds.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
Soon the sound of deliberately light, but still somewhat heavy footsteps was heard.
It sounds like a man, and the distance of the sound is slowly approaching from a distance, and it is guessed that it is coming in from the outside.
Male, coming back from outside, sneaking and taking a light step, Meng Changjin is almost sure that this person should be the old man Yu who ran out of the yard last night, right?
It seems that Yu Laosan didn't get anyone back when he went out last night, otherwise he wouldn't have come back secretly from outside now.
Deliberately lightened steps, are you worried that last night's "ghost" is still in the yard?
Meng Changjin didn't know, and she didn't want to guess what Old Man Yu thought, she was already awake and couldn't sleep, she simply got up, and when she opened the door, she just saw Old Man Yu push open the door of him and Old Lady Yu and go in sideways.
Meng Changjin retracted his gaze and walked towards the chicken coop.
Yu raised a lot of chickens at home, and the chicken pen in the yard covered an area that was not small, opened the wooden fence of the chicken pen and walked in, Meng Changjin picked up the eggs in it with a clear goal and put them in her clothes, and made sure that there was no egg left, so she came out of the chicken pen and went straight to the stove room.
Add water to the pot, put all the dozen eggs in it, Meng Changjin cooked the fire, and boiled the eggs.
She is going to Qingyuan County, the closest county seat to Lihua Village, today, and go to Yu Jiaojiao, all those hairpin bracelets and other things are sold, and buy some things she wants to use.
For example, clothes.
I don't know if the client's clothes are the product of a casual change in old clothes that no one wants, and they are full of puddings, old and torn.
As for why she didn't wear Yu Jiaojiao's good clothes directly, let's not say that Yu Jiaojiao, who is one year younger than the client, looks a head taller than her, and the size of the clothes is not suitable at all, let's just say that Yu Jiaojiao's box of pink, light pink, and peach pink clothes she doesn't like either.
I don't like it, but it's definitely valuable, in a place like the countryside, the price of clothes made of this kind of pink and tender fabric is quite high, so Meng Changjin plans to pack Yu Jiaojiao's clothes and take them away for sale.
Thinking of Yu Jiaojiao's expression when she knew that her clothes and hairpins were gone, Meng Changjin couldn't help but look forward to it.
She's looking forward to it!
The fire also burned, threw a few thicker sticks of firewood into it, and didn't worry that it would be extinguished in a short time, so Meng Changjin went back and began to collect things.
Clothes, hairpins, silver bracelets and other things were quickly packed up by Meng Changjin, hairpin bracelets and other things that are few and fine are wrapped separately, and the clothes are directly wrapped in a single bag, and a big burden is completed.
It happened that the egg was also boiled, Meng Changjin scooped it up, soaked it in cold water, and then found a cloth to wrap it, then brought a water bladder filled with water, took the things and set off.
On the way, Meng Changjin ate eggs when he was hungry, drank some water in the water bladder when he was thirsty, and finally arrived in Qingyuan County when it was close to noon.
There are a lot of people on the street, and Meng Changjin's appearance of wearing tattered puddings but carrying a big burden has attracted the attention of many people.
These eyes are just some curious looks, at most, some eyes will look at her with disdain, but she doesn't care at all, after some observation, and after asking some small vendors nearby, she determined that there are stalls around, and immediately found an empty place, opened the big baggage, and sold it on the street.
Passers-by were attracted by her voice, and when they looked over, they found a bunch of pink and tender dresses, which soon attracted a group of female customers who had no resistance to pink and tender.
Meng Changjin's price for this pile of dresses is not high, the problem is that real dresses are ready-to-wear, and only people with a similar figure to Yu Jiaojiao can wear them.
But it's still very good, Meng Changjin didn't have a stall for much at all, and Yu Jiaojiao's dresses were snatched up.
Compared with these dress fabrics, this bright color is also very popular, and Meng Changjin sells it really cheaply, so at the same price, you can only buy a single cloth that is not as good as the fabric of these clothes, and it is really better to buy a ready-to-wear garment here in Meng Changjin.
As for the problem that ready-to-wear can only be changed to a smaller size at most, this is basically not a problem.
Yu Jiaojiao is well-fed and warm-dressed, well-developed, and her body is not particularly petite, and most of the people around Qingyuan County are not people who can afford to eat big fish and meat, and there are really few fat people, so Yu Jiaojiao's clothes are really easy to sell.
When the last piece of clothing was sold, it was less than half an hour before Meng Changjin set up his stall.
She stuffed all the money into her arms, and without counting how much, she quickly put away the sheets that served as a baggage cloth, and walked around into the crowd, and soon disappeared.
