Chapter 176: Working Together
Yan Nian helped Brother Huai to buy rouge gouache for Xiaowei.
After a while, the two of them walked to the door of the rouge gouache shop, and a little girl dressed up in the fashion stood at the door to receive the two people.
Brother Huai embarrassedly retreated behind Yan Nian, and the little girl hurriedly said to Yan Nian: "Big sister, what rouge do you want to buy?" ”
Yan Nian turned around and looked at Brother Huai behind him, "Xiaowei didn't say what she wanted?" ”
Brother Huai shook his head and said, "You just look at it and buy it, she didn't say anything." ”
At this time, the little girl smiled and said, "Look at it, eldest sister, you two are really affectionate!" After saying that, he laughed.
Brother Huai was even more embarrassed when he heard the little girl say this, Yan Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, "You little sister, you can't be so reckless in the future, we are not a family." ”
When the little girl heard Yan Nian say this, she blushed and shrunk her neck and said, "Oops! I'm sorry to make a mistake, big sister, don't be surprised! ”
"Well, you show me that." Yan Nian pointed to a box of rouge and said.
Although Brother Huai was embarrassed to stand behind Yan Nian, what this little girl from the rouge gouache shop said, Brother Huai listened to it quite well, and Brother Huai felt beautiful in his heart.
After a while, Yan Nian helped Brother Huai choose a few rouge gouaches that he usually used, and let the little girl wrap them, Brother Huai was just about to step forward to pay the silver money, Yan Nian hurriedly said: "Brother Huai, you don't have to pay the silver money, this is counted as my wedding gift to Xiaowei." ”
Brother Huai heard Yan Nian say this, and hurriedly said: "Then what's the matter, I can't let you spend money." So saying, he took out the money.
Yan Nian hurriedly said: "That's it, I'll hand it over to Xiaowei personally." After speaking, Yan Nian handed over the silver money, turned around and walked out.
Brother Huai watched Yan Nian go out of the store, turned to look at the little girl in the counter, thought about it and said, "You can give it to me according to the few things just now." ”
The little girl stared at Brother Huai, "Big brother, what did you say?" Buy those again? ”
Brother Huai nodded, "Hurry up!" ”
"Howler!" The little girl didn't expect that she would sell two sets of rouge gouache for a while, which was too unexpected, so she happily packed it and handed it to Brother Huai.
Brother Huai didn't speak, paid the money and put the things in his arms directly, and went out of the store to chase Yan Nian directly.
He Ling and Li San sat in the car and saw Yan Nian coming back, still holding a small bag in his hand, so they knew that they had finished buying things, and hurriedly straightened up.
Li San got out of the car and wanted to go forward to greet Yan Nian, but He Ling in the car spoke, "Yan Nian, why did you come back alone?" What about Brother Huai? ”
Yan Nian said as he walked forward: "I said that I bought it for Xiaowei and he didn't let him, I don't know why he didn't come back, anyway, I gave it to Xiaowei, otherwise I don't know what gift to give Xiaowei." ”
He Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I will go then." ”
Yan Nian walked to the car, and Brother Huai also trotted back.
"Well, you're back, so you're waiting here? Or go to the house that sells saplings together? We're going to load the saplings. Chu Jun saw that everyone was back, so he hurriedly got into the car and prepared to leave.
Brother Huai and Li San said in unison: "Let's go and load fruit saplings together." ”
Seeing these two people like this, He Ling said with a smile: "You two are quite aligned. ”
Chu Jun hurriedly beat his horse and whipped his whip, "Everyone has to sit tight, let's run." ”
The carriage rushed to the farmer's house selling fruit saplings in the east of the town.
It didn't take long for Yan Nian to talk to the uncle who sold the fruit trees and negotiate the price.
In the end, it was negotiated and sold to Yan Nian at the price of one copper plate per sapling, a total of 500 apple trees, 300 pear trees, and 200 peach trees, and Yan Nian paid one or two silver dollars.
The family also helped Yan Nian load the car, Brother Huai and Li San also went all out to help load these fruit tree saplings on the car, and Chu Jun used a straw rope to tie it up.
In the end, Yan Nian and He Ling climbed onto the car full of fruit trees with the help of Li San and Brother Huai, and the two of them sat down on the front and rear edges again.
Chu Jun shouted, "It's all done, let's go!" The car headed home.
Yan Nian sat on the fruit tree, for fear that he would sit badly, but he didn't dare to move, so it was very uncomfortable to flicker.
Seeing Yan Nian like this, He Ling said with a smile: "Sister Yan Nian, you can sit down, you won't be a bad fruit tree, I'm afraid you're going to fall out of the car if you move." ”
Yan Nian shook her head, "Sister He Ling, you don't know, I need a copper plate for this fruit tree, which is too expensive!" ”
Chu Jun, who was sitting in front of him, said while driving the car, "These fruit trees are really enough for you to be busy for a while, why don't you hire a few people to go up the mountain and plant them." ”
Yan Nian smiled bitterly and said, "I said brother-in-law, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, no, you are sitting." How can I have so much money in Yan Nian, I'd better plant it myself slowly. ”
He Ling said with a smile: "You have to look at some fruit trees, don't wait for you to finish planting, the fruit trees are dry." After saying that, he laughed to himself.
Yan Nian looked at He Ling with a smile and didn't speak again, thinking about how he could quickly plant this car of saplings in the shortest possible time.
The car was very fast, and they came to the backing village, and several people's things were pressed under the fruit saplings, so they could only go to Yan Nian's house with the carriage.
To be honest, the purpose of Brother Huai and Li San's trip was also to help Yan Nian carry the saplings.
Coming to the gate of Yan Nian's house, Brother Huai carefully helped Yan Nian out of the car, Yan Nian drove, and when Li San looked at Brother Huai helping Yan Nian, there was a hint of vinegar in his eyes.
Brother Huai and Li San didn't make much effort to move the fruit saplings under the car, pile them up in the root of the wall, and put them on with artemisia grass.
Looking at a large number of saplings, Yan Nian's heart began to get anxious, and he didn't forget to give the fare to He Ling, and He Ling didn't shirk, "Then I'll take it, and if you have anything in the future, you can talk." ”
Yan Nian nodded, unloaded the rice bran again, and thanked Brother Huai Li San. Chu Jun drove the car to the door of the Li family ancestral hall again, and Li San got out of the car and went back with rice and pot.
Brother Huai walked home.
Nuo Nuo and Yanyan saw their mother pulling in these fruit trees, and asked around their mother, "Mother, is this the one who can catch the fruit?" ”
Yan Nian said with a smile: "Yes, it will bear fruit next year, and I will go to plant trees in the afternoon." ”
After cleaning up for a while, Yan Nian remembered that the rouge gouache he bought for Xiaowei had not been sent to Xiaowei, and thought, let's send it over at night, I really forgot it when I was busy, and the day after tomorrow I would go to the sedan chair.
Go back to the room, cook some food, I didn't eat much in the morning, this will be hungry, Yan Nian thought that these two little guys must be hungry too.
Yan Nian lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there was already a pot of rice in the pot, and there were three boiled eggs under the pot, Yan Nian hurriedly greeted Nuo Nuo, "Who gave these eggs to Nuo Nuo?" ”
