Chapter 105: Vaguely familiar

"What are you going to buy?" Bai Jinli couldn't help but be curious.

"That's it...... I wanted to buy some candles for my mother, and she often had to secretly embroider things at night, using oil lamps.

The oil lamp is small, and I am afraid that my mother's eyes will hurt and get tired after a long time. Bai Mengmeng thought about it, and still said it truthfully.

Her mother also told her that the things she embroidered were all sold with the help of her sister-in-law, so her sister-in-law must also know about this, so there is no need to hide it.

"You're a filial child, so I'll go with you." Bai Jinli couldn't help but praise her.

Bai Meng and Bai Jasmine obviously live in the same family, but their behaviors are completely different.

Bai Meng is empathetic, considerate, knows how to feel sorry for people, and never complains.

It's Bai Jasmine, who complains all day long, blaming others for all bad things.

They are all people, so why is there such a big difference?

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Bai Meng opened his mouth to thank him.

"Well, let's go."

Speaking of which, they rarely use lamps in the countryside, because the oil lamps they use also need to waste oil.

The oil of the lamp oil is squeezed from the fruit of the "oil tung" tree, put it in the lamp tray, and put two or three rushes of grass, and the grass can be used by turning it out of the lamp tray.

However, the flame of the oil lamp is not large, only the flame of a bean, and it will naturally consume the eyes after a long time.

Candles are much better than oil lamps, but they are expensive, and most countrymen are reluctant to waste this money.

Even if you buy it back, you put it at home, and you are generally reluctant to use it.

After the three of them arrived at a place that sold groceries, Bai Meng politely and shyly asked the shopkeeper.

"Hello, do you have any candles in your store? How to sell? ”

"Candles? Which one do you want? Red, white? A little thicker or a little thinner? How many do you want? The chubby shopkeeper looked up at the three people and asked casually.

"How do you sell the red ones? What is the price of white? ”

"Red twenty wen, white eighteen wen, bold red twenty-five wen, white twenty-two wen."

The shopkeeper was not impatient, and told them in detail.

"Sister, I still have the twelve texts given by my sister-in-law here, all for you." When Bai Mo heard this, he hurriedly took out all the twelve yuan he had saved.

"Mo'er......" Bai Meng was a little relieved, but a little embarrassed to take the money handed by Bai Mo.

"Sister, take it, that's our mother." Bai Mo didn't feel distressed, and pushed his hard-won private money over.

"Hmm." After Bai Meng took it, he touched Bai Mo's head with a gentle expression.

He took out her twelve cents from his body, and made up a total of twenty-four cents and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Hello, we only have twenty-four cents in total, can you sell me a thicker red candle cheaper, please!"

"This ...... Girl, our store is also a small business, you bargain with me like this, but how can I be good? The shopkeeper frowned slightly.

"Uncle of the shopkeeper, you look like a good person, you can sell it to my sister for twenty-four yuan." The big white ink and bright eyes were full of supplication.

"Okay, just let me be a good person for once." The shopkeeper nodded, took Bai Meng's money, took a thicker red candle and handed it over.

"Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper, you're so nice." The two of them took the candle and looked at it for a while, and then thanked the shopkeeper with a beaming face.

"Hehe, next time if you want to buy something, come back again."

"Uh-huh." The two nodded.

Bai Jinli watched from the side again and didn't interfere too much.

The two of them always have to grow up, and as long as there are no problems, she is happy to watch them both grow up on their own.

As for candles, Bai Meng and Bai Mo can be bought and given to Zhang, and she can too.

She shared so much of the money that Zhang's family sold embroidered handkerchiefs, and it was also appropriate to buy something back to her in courtesy.

After the three of them went out of the door, they didn't walk a few steps, and Bai Jinli said that she suddenly wanted to buy something, so she asked the two of them to stand in place and wait for her.

Then she went back to the shop, bought ten of the same red candles for the same twenty-four dollars, and hid them.

"Let's go, I have to go to Zhong Ling Embroidery, you can come with me."

"Uh-huh." Bai Meng and Bai Mo followed closely behind.

When he was about to arrive at Zhong Ling's embroidery workshop, Bai Jinli saw a man selling sugar gourds, so he simply stopped him and bought five strings.

handed Bai Meng and Bai Mo a skewer, ate one skewer by himself, and wrapped the other two skewers.

Bai Meng and Bai Mo were both excited and happy when they ate the sugar gourd for the first time, and Bai Jinli, who looked cautiously, was sad again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so good to us now."

The two of them thanked each other, ate one separately, and wrapped the other, planning to go back and give it to Zhang's to taste.

When she arrived at Zhong Ling's embroidery workshop, Bai Jinli shouted to her after seeing Zhong Ling's lady, and saw Zhong Ling's lady greeted her with joy on her face.

"White girl, you are here, I have been looking forward to you for a long time."

"Hey, who are these two?"

"They are my nieces and nephews, one is called Bai Meng, and the other is called Bai Mo." Bai Jinli explained.

"Hello, I'm the shopkeeper of this shop, come in and sit. Come, put down the basket first, how heavy it is. Mrs. Zhong Ling greeted them warmly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhong Ling." The two men thanked each other flatteredly and walked inside.

"Come, you must have worked hard, let's have a cup of tea, there are some dried fruits and snacks here, come and try them."

Mrs. Zhong Ling beckoned the three of them to sit in the rest place on the side and enthusiastically went to get tea.

Bai Jinli took a sip of tea indifferently, and asked with a smile: "Lady Zhong Ling, when I came in the past, you were all there to read the script attentively, why are you free today?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it. In the past, I thought that the scripts on the market were particularly good, but since you sent Journey to the West last time, I look back at those scripts and stories, and I feel bored.

The stories are just like that, pretentious. Hey, by the way, where did your story go? Is there anything else? Zhong Ling looked at Bai Jinli with hope.

Only then did Bai Jinli understand why when she came over today, Zhong Ling's lady was so enthusiastic about her.

Feelings are thinking about her words.

"Lady Zhong Ling, what do you think of my script? If it flows into the market, is there anything to look forward to? Bai Jinli didn't answer her, but asked.

"Miss Bai, didn't you come to talk to our young master about this today?"

"Your young master, who is that?" Bai Jinli couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

"To tell you the truth, this shop belongs to my young master, and I am just the shopkeeper on the surface.

I showed the young master the words you gave me last time, and he liked it very much, and he went to Stone Village to find you, wanting to talk about cooperation, but I didn't see anyone with you.

But I heard the young master say that he asked people to leave you a message, how do you seem to know nothing? "Mrs. Zhong Ling thought it was very strange.

"Sister-in-law, when you went to visit relatives with your grandmother, someone came to our house and knocked on the door, it was Jasmine who opened the door, and then I asked her who knocked on the door, and she said no one, was it that day?" Bai Meng spoke weakly.

"Well, it seems that your young master did ask my other niece to help pass the word, but she forgot."

"Oh, I see, I said. It's okay, since the white girl is here, you might as well sit and wait for a while, I will ask someone to send a letter to the young master, and when he comes, you can talk to him. ”

"Well, that's fine." Bai Jinli nodded.

The young master in Zhong Ling's mouth can find their house for her story, which means that he is really optimistic about her story.

Thinking about it like this, Bai Jinli breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person became more and more relaxed.

"You three haven't had time to eat when you go out in the morning, have you? There are some pastries here, you put them on first. ”

Mrs. Zhong Ling went out and walked in with a plate of particularly delicate snacks.

The dim sum is small and exquisite, green and clear, a little similar to mung bean cake, but not very different.

"Thanks, then you're welcome."

After Bai Jinli thanked her, she picked up the pastry and handed it to Bai Meng and Bai Mo, and she also pinched a piece and tasted it.

Bai Meng and Bai Mo also ate such a delicate pastry for the first time, and the two of them looked happy.

After eating two pieces, Bai Jinli couldn't eat it.

Although this pastry is good, it will get tired if you eat too much.

After taking another sip of tea and pressing it down, Bai Jinli was about to ask Zhong Ling how long she would have to wait, when she heard a voice outside.

She got up and walked outside, and when she saw the person clearly, she was stunned again.

"How are you? Are you the young owner behind this store? ”

"It's down there. White girl, what a coincidence, meet again. Yan Su's face still had his signature smile of cynicism and warmth.

Bai Meng and Bai Mo also got up and walked out with Bai Jinli, and when they saw the person standing in front of their sister-in-law, they were stunned for a moment.

They still thought that the sister-in-law's man was a rare beauty in the world, but now they know that there are actually many good-looking and outstanding men.

The person in front of him was richly dressed, behaved freely, and had an extraordinary bearing, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

I didn't expect their sister-in-law to know such a character, it's really amazing.

"Who are these two?"

When Bai Meng and Bai Mo peeked at Yan Su, Yan Su also glanced at the two of them and asked curiously.

For some reason, he felt that the two children were vaguely familiar.

Could it be that I inadvertently passed by before?

"My nieces and nephews, I brought them over today, it won't affect me, right?" Bai Jinli replied.

"Where did the white girl say, it's my honor to know them." Yan Su still smiled kindly.

"Little brother, we're glad to see you too." Bai Mo smiled at him and whispered hello.
