Chapter 133: Traditional Virtues
Guo Chengling set up the ox cart, and Lin Xiaowan sat comfortably on it.
I actually met Uncle Wu on the way, and when I saw the two of them, I took the initiative to stop and say hello. Then he said to Lin Xiaowan: "Today, I accidentally saw that Liu Cui also brought some bottles and cans similar to yours, and said something like that I must squeeze you out." Nothing happened to you, did you? ”
When Lin Xiaowan heard this, she was surprised. Did Liu Cui dare to say such blatant words?
"Thank you, Uncle Wu. She did take something to sell, and she borrowed my name. But I've got that out of the way. ”
"It's good to be solved." Uncle Wu nodded reassuringly, and then said to Guo Chengling and his wife, "I look at the sky, there may be rain later." If there's nothing to do, go back early. I went to shout and then I was going back. ”
"Well, I see, Uncle Wu. See you then. Guo Chengling thanked Uncle Wu again, and then left with Lin Xiaowan.
He looked up at the sky, and it looked no different from when he came, so why did he say that it would rain later?
Guo Chengling is not ignorant of this, he has been hunting all year round, and he has also summed up some experience. It's just that there is no sign of rain at all right now.
Lin Xiaowan couldn't figure it out, she only said that Uncle Wu must have a reason for saying this, anyway, there is nothing to do, and it is good to go back early.
The two of them didn't bother, and went directly to the place where they said it was good to wait for Lin Zhen and Liu.
Originally, Guo Chengling meant to look for them, but Lin Xiaowan said that the two of them must have been on the street for a short time, so there was no need to go to great lengths to find someone. If you don't do it, it will delay more time.
Sure enough.
When Lin Xiaowan and the others arrived at the place, Lin Zhen and his wife were already waiting there. There were a few burlap bags at their feet, but they didn't seem to have much.
Their lives are actuarial, Lin Xiaowan can understand. But he still said to them: "Why don't you buy more?" In the future, our family's life will get better and better, and your careful calculations should be corrected. ”
"What's wrong with that?" Liu taught Lin Xiaowan, "That's not how life is. This should be called...... Called......"
Liu was hesitant and couldn't think of specific words.
Guo Chengling said: "Traditional virtues! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the traditional virtue." Liu patted his thigh and said again and again.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Liu with a smile, "Mother, you are such an adult, why are you still like a child." Speak as you speak, what do you dance? ”
"Hey, you stinky girl......" Liu was laughed at, so he naturally wanted to fight back.
"Okay, mother, let's go back." Lin Xiaowan took Liu into the car and said in a respectful tone.
Guo Chengling got down from the front, went around to the back to carry the purchased things into the car, and then instructed a few people to sit down and go back to drive.
Liu asked Lin Xiaowan: "Why did you go back so early today?" Are you done? ”
Lin Xiaowan said Uncle Wu's words. As for her affairs, neither of them was mentioned. First, there's no need for them to worry about it, and second, they really can't help anything. Coming and going, on the contrary, will make them have some bad emotions.
Just like Liu told her before, it was their parents' inability to make her suffer.
She doesn't like such emotions, so try not to stress them up. Lin Xiaowan thought that as long as the two of them could live happily, it would already be very good, and the rest of their lives would not be long, so it would naturally be good to be able to enjoy more warmth.
Thinking of this, her gaze at Lin Zhen and the others couldn't help but become much gentler, and this feeling that my dear people were still there made the corners of Lin Xiaowan's mouth slowly hook.
Lin Zhen and Liu didn't feel Lin Xiaowan's gaze. The two were discussing Uncle Wu.
I only heard Lin Zhen say: "Well, Lao Wu is a knowledgeable person. ”
"Yes, I heard that Wu Yuanwu was very beautiful when he was young, needless to say, he was well-informed, and he saved a lot of silver." Liu chimed in.
"It's just that over the years, I don't think Lao Wu is like a person with a lot of money."
"People are low-key."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Xiaowan also knew that most of it was hearsay. There are many things that have been codified.
Speaking of Wu Yuanwu, after saying goodbye to Lin Xiaowan and the others, when he saw the people in the village, he instructed: "Go find someone else, let's prepare to return early next day." ”
Someone asked him: "What's wrong, Uncle Wu, what's wrong at home?" ”
"No, I just don't see it as if it's not good. Go back early, the province will be poured out. ”
The man looked up at the sky, and there was some disdain in his tone, "On such a day, can it still rain?" ”
"The sky is unpredictable." Wu Yuanwu said, "The wind is rushing and the rain is sudden, looking at the color of the sky, there will be a strong wind in a while." Alright, let's hurry up. ”
After seeing a few people, they all gave instructions, and after waiting for a long time at the agreed place, people came back one after another. Everyone asked Wu Yuanwu why he was in such a hurry to go back this time.
At first, Wu Yuanwu said them one by one, but they didn't believe it. In the end, he didn't bother to say, and when others asked, he simply hummed and continued to wait.
After almost half an hour, almost everyone came, and after looking at it, there was only one Liu Cui missing.
Wu Yuanwu frowned and asked, "Have any of you seen the daughter-in-law of the Li family?" ”
Only one person said that he saw it, and he also told her that he was going back to the village quickly. Liu Cui answered her, but Liu Cui was still swaying when he left, and he had no intention of leaving.
Wu Yuanwu didn't look down on Liu Cui in the first place, but now this is the case. He looked into the street again, thinking that if he didn't come, then he would leave.
Leave her alone to walk home, anyway, it's not like she hasn't walked away.
After waiting a little longer, seeing that Lin Xiaowan and the others had already left, they really didn't want to wait any longer, so they drove and prepared to leave.
And Liu Cui's side, after being driven away by Lin Xiaowan, was unwilling. I thought that these ointments had to be sold anyway, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it when I went back.
With Huang's temperament, can you let her go?
But she couldn't figure out how to open the market on her own, so she went around and around and tried several times to fail.
Some people even laughed at her: "Your ointment is so good, why don't you use it on your own face first!" ”
This sentence deeply hit Liu Cui. She touched her face and said hatefully: "Lin Xiaowan, that vixen, must have relied on her face to sell the ointment!" ”
Just when she was complaining alone, someone took the initiative to ask.
As soon as she said that, she knew that she was going to buy Lin Xiaowan's ointment, but she didn't see Lin Xiaowan at all today, and when she was busy with things and passed for the second time, there was still no one.
asked Lin Xiao on the side, only to know that Lin Xiaowan does not sell ointment today.
Fortunately, I saw Liu Cui, and from the time she introduced it to others, I knew that it was the same thing as Lin Xiaowan.
Someone came, and Liu Cui was naturally happy. Excitedly introduced to people, and then said: "My ointment is very effective, and it only sells for four taels of silver, which is good and cheap." ”
But how could she have imagined it, as soon as others heard the price, they said no, turned around and left.
Liu Cui, who was angry, stomped her feet painfully.
Then she waited for the people in the same village and said that Uncle Wu said that she should hurry back.
Liu Cui dealt with a few words casually, and when the people left, she panicked even more, and pulled a few more people to sell, and said a lot of things, but everyone got rid of her in annoyance. Even if she half sold and half gave away, no one wanted it.
After some delay, I was reluctant to walk to the place where I was taking the car.
But she didn't go fast, and her head was full of how to explain to the Huang family when she went back.
Secretly counted the silver in the package, although she earned some, but it had just made up for her previous deficit. There were also a few bottles of ointment, and she was worried that it would not go bad.
I walked with my head stuffed like this, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart.
Suddenly, she remembered that Lin Xiaowan's ointment had not been sold. Since she wasn't worried, it meant that the ointment would definitely not be broken!
Thinking of this, her mind also came alive.
Those young ladies and maids who bought the ointment will definitely have to use it for some time, if it breaks down in three or five days, Lin Xiaowan's ointment has long been unbought, and the stall is estimated to be smashed. How can it be so popular?
Thinking about it, Liu Cui's mood has changed for the better.
When I was in a good mood, my head naturally rose. But as soon as he looked up, he saw Wu Yuanwu driving and was about to leave, and when he shouted, he ran in the direction of the ox cart.
As he ran, he shouted: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, wait for me!" ”
"I haven't gotten in the car yet! Uncle Wu, you wait for me. ”
While running, he protected the ointment in the box. Three steps and one bow, the speed is naturally not fast.
And Wu Yuanwu in front of him just couldn't hear it, and didn't stop the car at all.
Just one chasing the car, one chasing the car. didn't run far, Liu Cui couldn't run, stopped slowly, put the frame on the ground, put her butt on the ground, and cried out.
The voice was much louder than what she had just shouted.
The people in the car had already seen Liu Cui, but Liu Cui was treated like no other, so they all pretended not to see it, tilting their heads and chatting. But the afterglow always swept towards Liu Cui from time to time.
Originally, some people thought that Liu Cui was also quite miserable, and wanted to stop and wait for her with Wu Yuanwu, but before they could say anything, they heard Liu Cui's cry.
Liu Cui's legs were staring wildly on the ground, and her body kept writhing, and the posture of rolling on the ground shocked the people in the car.
When some passers-by saw it, they all stopped to watch, pointing and pointing, and naturally there were many more guesses.
Wu Yuanwu couldn't listen to it anymore, turned the front of the car and walked towards Liu Cui.
Liu Cui closed her eyes at this time, crying loudly, and didn't look at the car at all. Until he got closer, Wu Yuanwu shouted: "Don't howl! What a person, no shame in losing it! If you return to the village, get on the bus quickly. ”
Liu Cui wiped her eyes, stood up with her mouth flat, and didn't dare to say anything, and said under Wu Yuanwu's angry eyes: "Thank you, Uncle Wu." ”
