Twilight is getting thicker.

The brother and sister had dinner and were sitting under the big locust tree in the courtyard chatting, when they suddenly heard a sharp knock at the door.

"Who?!"

Guan Xiaoduo was taken aback: At this time, who would dare to knock on my door under the fierce gaze of more than 20 strong men? It's kind of amazing.

Just when she was a little hesitant, the voice outside the door urged: "Duo'er, it's me!" Open the door. ”

Aunt Zhao?

As soon as Guan Xiaoduo moved the latch of the door, she saw Guan Hua suddenly get up and come to her, press her hand on the door panel first, and glared at her. Guan Xiaoduo understood and took a step back.

When the door opened, I saw Aunt Zhao carrying a basket and asked with a smile: "Dahuazi, where is Duo'er?" ”

Guan Hua didn't answer, stretched his neck and glanced out of the door first: The thugs who were squatting at the door were like getting off work on time, but none of them were gone? The streets have been restored to their original appearance.

Guan Hua let Aunt Zhao into the courtyard.

Aunt Zhao took out a pancake from the basket and handed it to Guan Xiaoduo: "It's for you." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Guan Xiaoduo happily took it and took a bite, the pork filling was still hot and fragrant.

Aunt Zhao said: "We are leaving, so we came here to talk to you brothers and sisters." ”

"Huh? Walk? Where to? ”

Aunt Zhao nodded: "In the afternoon, a rich man came and paid a good price to put the pharmacy down." We are planning to go to the provincial capital to re-establish some properties and find a better private school for your brother to have a good future, so we are going to move out. ”

Guan Xiaoduo was shocked when she heard this, and looked behind her, and sure enough, she saw a carriage full of luggage, Uncle Zhao was happily leading the livestock, and Zhao Shi'an was standing on the side with an awkward expression, looking this way.

"In such a hurry?" Guan Xiaoduo was puzzled: "Is it because you are afraid of provoking the Li family's thugs?" ”

"Nothing!" Aunt Zhao waved her hand, smiling so much that even the crow's feet seemed to be about to bloom: "Don't think so!" It's sold at the right price. ”

As she spoke, she looked left and right at no one, and reached into her arms with one hand and touched it for a long time, revealing a pair of huge gold ingots, Guan Xiaoduo hurriedly came back when she saw a little.

- Spicy! Big gold ingots!

Guan Xiaoduo was so shocked that her jaw was about to drop, it was the first time in her life that she had seen such a big ingot! At least fifty taels to start! Looking at Aunt Zhao's happy appearance, eighty percent of them had already bitten their teeth to make sure that the real gold was undoubted.

Guan Xiaoduo was so envious that her saliva was about to flow out: "It's really a fortune!" There must be a hundred taels of such a big two, right?! You can buy the whole street! ”

"Shh

Aunt Zhao waved her hand with a taboo face, nodded again, and couldn't close her mouth with joy, and said in a low voice: "One hundred taels of pure gold!" So, don't think about it, girl, we really moved just because the price is right! It's also the first time I've met such a magnanimous buyer, a foreigner, such a big pure gold ingot in front of me, and it's a fool not to make a move! ”

Guan Xiaoduo frowned and said: "That's right, but even if the store is out, even if you don't have a place to live, you don't have to move in such a hurry, right?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Isn't it all about the money? Since people have paid such a high price, they are looking for a ready-made place where they can move in! We're leaving, so we're here to say hello to you. ”

Guan Xiaoduo was shocked: "So anxious?!" It can't be a problem, right? ”

Aunt Zhao whispered mysteriously: "I think so too!" Isn't this money coming from the wrong way? I don't think there's anything wrong with the gold ingots. So I thought that since I was rich, I should leave as soon as possible, and I would be able to redeem the money as soon as possible, and I would save myself from long nights and many troubles. ”

Guan Xiaoduo nodded: "That's reasonable." It is...... Suddenly left, I blame you for being reluctant. ”

"Ahem."

Aunt Zhao sighed and handed her the bamboo basket in her hand: "Time is in a hurry, and I haven't prepared anything for you for a while." This is the cake that my aunt baked this afternoon, and there are still some pieces of silver in it, so you can keep it for later. ”

Guan Xiaoduo shook her head: "I keep the cake, I can't ask for the silver." ”

Aunt Zhao insisted: "Take it, most of these are given by your mother." It's not easy for a woman to make money outside, and she usually doesn't have time to take care of the family, so she asks me to take care of your brothers and sisters...... Alas, this time I am afraid that I will have to live up to her instructions, and I will not be able to do it. ”

Guan Xiaoduo was holding the bag of silver in one hand, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart - the old neighbor of more than ten years actually said that he would leave?

As she spoke, Aunt Zhao took out a few more plasters and stuffed them to Guan Hua: "You keep these plasters." I'm afraid that I won't see you one day in the future, you are on an errand at the yamen, and you should be careful at ordinary times, don't fight at every turn, and make your sister worry. ”

Guan Hua nodded.

In a word, all three of them have a sour nose.

Guan Xiaoduo reluctantly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Auntie, can you not go?" ”

"Don't say that."

Aunt Zhao wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve: "It's getting dark, we still have to hurry up, so I won't say much." ”

The Guan brothers and sisters sent Aunt Zhao out of the door, and saw that the family was really in a hurry, and most of the things were left in the store and not taken away, only brought some important belongings to the car, and it seemed that they were planning to rush to the provincial capital at night, and they would not delay for a moment.

At the end, Zhao Shi'an came to Guan Xiaoduo's side, and said with red eyes, "When I come out in the future, we will definitely see each other again", and the two families shed tears on the street and said goodbye.

Night.

Guan Xiaoduo was thinking about the three members of the Zhao family in her heart, thinking about the love of eating and drinking in their house since she was a child, and thinking about the two of them who had worked hard all their lives, this time they turned over and became rich, and they would definitely be able to live a comfortable life in the provincial capital in the future.

She couldn't help but feel sad and happy in her heart, and she couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't until dawn that she suddenly remembered that she still had a lot of things in the pharmacy! I wonder if it will be thrown away by the rich stranger? What kind of person is he? With such a generous shot, a hundred taels of gold to buy such a broken medicine shop?

The two-story building of the Zhao family was handed down by the ancestors, how can it be said that it is also a hundred years younger, right? It is in disrepair, the roof seeps water when it rains, the floor on the second floor was only smashed out of a hole by Zhao Shi'an's unlucky child a few days ago, the floor slab should have been replaced with a squeak, the window frame is a little deformed, and the wind leaks in winter, and Uncle Zhao has long said that he wants to change it...... One hundred taels of gold wow, so much money, it's enough to buy the entire alley! But only bought such a dilapidated house?

What's wrong with the rich now? First of all, there was a second ancestor who spent forty taels of silver to buy a big hawthorn pill, and it can still be said that he had other plans for Se Ling Zhidi, so what is the situation of this stranger who has never met at all? Is it because the house is broken or is it pity that their family is poor? What's wrong?!

Hmph, there must be a demon when things go wrong! Eighty percent of that money came from the wrong place. That person—it can't be a criminal who fled from other provinces, right? Wouldn't that be bad? Furong Town is full of ordinary people who live a peaceful life, and they haven't encountered murder and arson in 100 years!

No, if that's the case, you'll have to do it sooner! Don't let him go around harming people!

Guan Xiaoduo thought about it all night, and didn't fall asleep in a daze until the window paper turned slightly white. When I opened my eyes again, the sun had already risen, the finches were chirping in the branches, and the sound of Huo Huo sharpening knives seemed to be heard in the courtyard.

Guan Xiaoduo jumped up from the bed, washed her face indiscriminately, and ran to the courtyard before she could comb her head, and saw Guan Hua turning out a big iron knife three feet long and covered with rust out of nowhere, and rubbing it on the whetstone.

"What are you doing?!"

"Sharpen your knives."

"What are you sharpening knives for?!"

Guan Hua ignored her and pointed to the kitchen: "There are cakes in the pot, go eat them yourself when you are hungry." ”

Guan Xiaoduo said angrily: "I'll ask you!" ”

Guan Hua also said angrily: "Then what else can I do?!" Watching my sister being snatched away as a little wife and doing nothing?! ”

"What, they're here again?"

Guan Xiaoduo went to the backyard to move the ladder out, climbed up and looked outside: Isn't it, the thugs from yesterday are still at the door of the house today, talking and laughing and squatting on the side of the road eating steamed buns and chatting; Most of the shops on the street did not dare to open, and it was deserted as far as the eye could see.

Guan Xiaoduo came down from the ladder with a sad face, and said to Guan Hua sullenly: "That's not worth going out and working hard." ”

Guan Hua glared, and said angrily: "My sister doesn't even fight hard if she lets people occupy me, is she still a man?" If I can be a human being, I don't deserve to live. ”

Guan Xiaoduo sat on the steps, holding her cheeks with both hands, and suddenly felt that there was still some truth in Aunt Zhao's words yesterday: you can't just think about yourself when you talk and do things, and you can fight with Li Jingqiu for a while, but your brother and neighbors are guilty, what is this called.

The pile of dowry in the yard can't be burned, otherwise the two families will completely turn their faces, and their losses will be small, and it will not be worth it to kill my brother and go to prison.

Seeing her sad face, Guan Hua's tone instantly softened a lot: "You don't have to worry. My mother said that this matter must be done slowly, and when she comes back, she has her own way, and you can just stop at home for a few days. ”

Guan Xiaoduo nodded.

She knows the beauty of the knife, and the lethality of that mouth is immeasurable! Dead can be said to be alive, and there is nothing in the world that she can't do with it.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

Guan Hua seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "She said that your carrot paste sells very well, and the ladies and ladies of the rich man's family like it, so let you stock up on some more goods." ”

"Huh?!"

Guan Xiaoduo, who was wilting and drooping her head, immediately came to her senses when she heard this, and corrected very seriously: "That's carrot-colored lipstick!" ”

Guan Hua looked indifferent: "God knows what the hell you are tinkering with, in short, when it is good to sell, it will be sorted out." ”

"Hee-hee! I'll just say, that color brightens the complexion and makes people white and tender, and the yellow skin is friendly, it will definitely sell well! ”

Guan Hua looked dazed: "What kind of yellow skin and white skin, isn't it lipstick?" ”

"Too lazy to tell you! Let's get started! ”

However, just half of the joy, Guan Xiaoduo was suddenly stunned: "Oh no, everything that makes lipstick is in the pharmacy!" That's bad. ”

Guan Xiaoduo just wanted to go out, thinking that his face was not washed or combed, and he trotted all the way back to the house to have a casual meal, so he raised his legs and walked out.

Guan Hua frowned and stopped: "You still want to go out?!" ”

Guan Xiaoduo said solemnly: "It's a matter of making a fortune, whether we eat bran or meat in the rest of our lives is here!" Even if you give up your life, you have to snatch my cash cow back first! It's too late! ”
