Chapter 155: Grandma Chen enters the city
"You stupid girl, let's go to see the owner." Chen's face immediately sank, "If you dress up cleanly and refreshingly, the owner will think that our family is clean when he sees it, and maybe he can give us more money." ”
"Do you think it's such a good errand that only our family is going to rob it?"
"It's not just us, but there are several families who want to do it."
Xu Dahai heard that there were still people fighting, and immediately said anxiously: "Go quickly, change into the clothes that your mother made for you, comb your hair again, wash your face and hands cleanly, and you must give this job down." ”
Such a good errand is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it can't just be lost.
Even Zhang's face was excited, and he began to rummage through the cabinets and choose the best-looking clothes for Xu Lan.
Seeing this, Xu Lan didn't want to ruin everyone's interest.
She went back to the house, brushed her hair again, and washed her face carefully.
Zhang found her a small pink emerald flower dress, and after wearing it, Xu Lan's little face became whiter and made her whole person more pink.
"Oh, my Lan'er is so good-looking." Zhang couldn't help but gently pinch Xu Lan's face, "It's white and tender, like glutinous rice dumplings." ”
"Mother~" Xu Lan was a little embarrassed by Zhang's praise.
There are no mirrors in the house, and she wonders if this dress really looks that good when she wears it.
If it is really good-looking, when she comes back from the county town, she will wear this dress to find Brother Liang.
Thinking of Liang Wei, Xu Lan suddenly thought that this time she could buy some pork back by the way when she went to the county seat.
Made of pork jerky, Liang Wei runs around on weekdays, and can also be eaten as a snack.
Seeing Xu Lan's outfit, Chen nodded and said, "It's finally like a person." ”
...... "Am I not like a human being on weekdays?"
Xu Lan couldn't help but reply in her heart.
As long as she thought of staying with Chen all day today, Xu Lan felt a little headache.
Recently, there are fewer and fewer people in the village going to the county seat.
Everyone has no spare money in their hands, and the things that can be used to repay the money have long been replaced.
The price of rice in the county town is getting higher day by day, and the people in the village can't buy anything at all, so they can only occasionally buy some cheap dried vegetables and other things.
Or occasionally someone picks up herbs or burns some charcoal, and then they go to the county town to sell them for money.
Seeing Xu Lan and Chen get into the ox cart together, the people in the village were also quite surprised.
They greeted Xu Lan, but Xu Lan was pulled away by the Chen family at once.
"Don't talk to anyone." Chen said in a low voice, "If others know that they have such a good job, they may be robbed." ”
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Lan had nothing to say to Chen.
From time to time, she looked at the scenery outside.
However, Xu Lan always felt that Chen seemed to be looking at herself from time to time.
But every time she turned her head to look over, Chen suddenly looked away.
For Chen's various strange behaviors, Xu Lan has long been surprised. Maybe it's because she wore new clothes today, and Chen felt that she wasn't wearing them, so she kept secretly watching her?
When I arrived at the county seat, there were quite a lot of people on the street.
However, most of them are homeless.
There are a few people in the city who are cleanly dressed.
Many of the shops on the street are out of business, and many of the rice, vegetable and jewelry shops are closed.
Grocery stores and restaurants are still open.
There are also a lot fewer people doing small business on the streets, and the customers are even more scattered than in the summer.
Chen didn't go out much, although he had been to the county seat before, but that was a long time ago. As soon as he got off the ox cart, Chen looked left and right, and some of them couldn't walk.
"Grandma, where is the house you are talking about?" Xu Lan asked a little uneasily, "You tell me the address, let's go over directly, go early and return early." ”
It would be great if you could succeed in getting this errand.
Both parents live in the county seat, and Xu Lan doesn't worry about anything.
As for her, she is ready to return to Lianzi Village to live.
First, it was much cleaner, which made it easier for her to read. Second, Xu Lan can go in and out of the space directly without worrying about being seen by her family.
If you don't get this errand, then go back while it's still dark.
The colder the weather has been lately, the more unstable it has become.
Hungry and frozen, the homeless are not afraid.
"I know what I know." Chen glared at her, "You run out every day, but you're tired of seeing everything." I'm finally out for a trip, so don't talk about it and make people feel disgusted. ”
"......" Xu Lan was a little helpless, "Why don't you tell me the place, I'll go by myself, and you can walk slowly." ”
"No way!" Chen flatly refused, "The people introduced by others don't recognize you, so you can't get in." ”
She rolled her eyes, but she saw the clothes store next to her.
Chen immediately walked in.
Xu Lan had no choice but to follow her into the door.
Ordinary people buy their own fabrics and make their own clothes, but this ready-made clothes are a new look specially made for the rich people in the county. Those who are rich will book it when they are satisfied with it.
It was the first time Chen had seen those exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and a pair of eyes was simply not enough.
From time to time she looked at this garment, and then at that garment, wishing she had the money to buy them all.
Xiao Er in the store looked at her shabby appearance, but he didn't drive her away immediately, but accompanied her to look at it one by one.
Xu Lan sighed.
After walking around like this, when will it be finished?
After leaving this shop, Chen walked to the richly decorated restaurant next to him.
Xu Lan was so frightened that she grabbed her suddenly.
This restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the county, and it costs a lot of money to eat a meal.
Based on Chen's amount of food, it is estimated that two taels of silver will not be able to sustain it.
"Grandma, this shop is too expensive, we can't afford it." Xu Lan hurriedly said.
"Huh? Can't afford to eat? Chen said coldly, "It's not because you children and grandchildren are useless because I can't afford to eat, so that my elders don't have the money to eat a good meal." ”
However, the restaurant is not as good as the clothing store, and you can still walk if you don't buy the clothing store, this is the behavior of entering the restaurant and walking without eating, even Chen's cheekiness can't do it.
The two of them stopped and walked for a long time.
As long as Xu Lan urged Chen, Chen took out the strength to quarrel in the village, and scolded Xu Lan loudly, saying that she did not respect the old man and was an unfilial son.
This is not Lianzi Village, and passers-by don't know Xu Lan and Chen.
Seeing Chen say this, most people began to point at Xu Lan.
After a few times, Xu Lan didn't dare to stop the Chen family anymore.
Seeing this, Chen felt quite comfortable.
Hmph, this damn girl, today I finally know how to soften.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and you are far from yourself compared to the means.
