Chapter 16 Rush to the Market
Before he reached the usual parking place, he saw a horse-drawn sedan rushing towards him, and Yan Nian hurriedly dodged to the side of the road.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped abruptly in front of him, and he saw a hand open the sedan curtain, and Fang Mingyu poked his head out, "Get in the car." ”
Yan Nian hesitated, he didn't want to take his sedan chair to the town, and he didn't want the people in the village to see it gossiping.
At this time, on the village road, Yan Nian saw Ni Yirou hurriedly running over here, shaking his hand as he ran, "Yan Nian, you wait for me, I said that I would go to the town together today." ”
Fang Mingyu seemed to see Yan Nian's thoughts, looked up at Ni Yirou who ran over, and said loudly: "Don't run, I'm waiting for you!" ”
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Yan Nian under the car, as if to say, "Okay, you can get in the car this time, right?" ”
Ni Yirou ran to the front of the car, glanced at Yan Nian, then looked at Fang Mingyu, stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Mingyu, pull me." ”
Fang Mingyu stretched out his hand to pull Ni Yirou into the car, and then stretched out his hand to Yan Nian under the car, and said softly: "Come, I'll pull you into the car." ”
Yan Nian hurriedly shook his hand: "No, I can go up by myself." As he spoke, he grabbed the car door with both hands and got into the car with his feet up.
In the car, Ni Yirou was sitting next to Fang Mingyu, holding her chest and panting lightly, when she saw Yan Nian getting into the car, she snorted with her nose: "Hmph!" Thanks to me for walking here, otherwise you would have gotten in the car and left, and I would have been waiting for you in the same place stupidly! I'm going shopping with you today! ”
Yan Nian was just about to speak, but Fang Mingyu, who was sitting next to Ni Yirou, stood up and sat down next to Yan Nian, "Okay, coachman, let's go." Fang Mingyu shouted.
"Okay, young master, you are seated." The coachman shouted, and the horses began to gallop forward again.
The seats on the car were placed opposite each other, Fang Mingyu sat next to Yan Nian, and Ni twisted his body softly, uncomfortable.
"Yan Nian, have Xiaobao been settled?" Fang Mingyu asked Yan Nian, who was looking at the sedan chair.
"Well, it's arranged at Aunt Zhang's, thank you Brother Mingyu." Yan Nian said.
Fang Mingyu pulled out a canvas pocket from under the car, which seemed to be new, and handed it to Yan Nian: "You take this pocket, and when you get to the town in a while, what do you decorate." ”
Yan Nian hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, I don't buy much!" ”
"If you want to take it, you can take it, it's just an old pocket."
Ni Yirou stared at the two people, then looked at the canvas pocket, her heart was sour, she hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Yan Nian, you are really hypocritical, don't you still dislike the things in Brother Mingyu's house?" I think it's good, don't give it to me. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the canvas bag from Fang Mingyu's hand.
Seeing the pocket pulled out of his hand, Fang Mingyu glanced at Ni Yirou and stopped talking.
The dirt roads in the countryside were full of potholes, and the car was a little faster, and the three people in the car swayed back and forth, Yan Nian firmly grasped the seat with his hand, trying not to let himself jolt.
Suddenly, the car shook violently twice, Yan Nian was defenseless, and his body fell on Fang Mingyu's body, shouting: "Oops! ”
Fang Mingyu subconsciously reached out and dragged Yan Nian and asked, "How is it?" You okay? ”
Yan Nian hurriedly got up, bowed his head embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"It's all right, coachman! Slow down! Fang Mingyu shouted outside.
Ni Yirou on the opposite side saw that Fang Mingyu's arm was still on Yan Nian's shoulder, and his face suddenly became ugly.
got up and came to Yan Nian's side, and took Yan Nian's hand, "Come, come and sit on my side, what's the matter with you?" Can't sit still in a car? ”
Yan Nian didn't want people to misunderstand herself, so she hurriedly reached out and took Fang Mingyu's arm, "I'll sit on Yirou's side, so Brother Mingyu is worried." ”
Fang Mingyu watched Yan Nian leave, leaned back in his seat awkwardly, and said softly, "When will this road be repaired." ”
The car was quiet, Ni Yirou looked at Fang Mingyu, and asked softly, "Brother Mingyu, are you going back to the village tonight?" ”
"Ah, go back to the village, I'll go to the town to find you when I'm done today." While talking, Fang Mingyu looked at Yan Nian.
The town was only five miles from the village, and it was quickly reached.
Yan Nian and Ni Yirou got out of the car first, and Fang Mingyu took the car and ran to the private school.
After getting out of the carriage, Yan Nian said to Ni Yirou: "Sister Yirou, you can buy whatever you want to buy first, I'll go around the town first, and it's not too late to buy it when I'm optimistic." ”
Ni Yirou didn't want to go with this Yan Nian who was wearing patches and stacked patches, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, I just want to go to my aunt's house in the town to have a look, you go and go around first." ”
In this way, the two separated, Yan Nian walked directly to the market, and Ni Yirou went to the residence of the residents in the north of the town.
Yan Nian went to the place where the straw mat was sold first, and saw the old man selling the straw mat negotiating with a man, so he squatted down and looked at the mat.
One part of the mat was open, and Yan Nian observed the direction of the mat. Yan Nian heard that a mat asked for twenty copper coins, and immediately stood up.
It's too expensive, I only took thirty copper coins today, so if I buy this mat, I don't have much silver in my hand, and I want to buy a piece of cloth to make a dress for the two little ones.
At this time, the old man who sold straw mats sent away the customers, and when he saw Yan Nian hesitating, he hurriedly said: "Girl, which piece do you like, Uncle will give you a cheaper." ”
"Uncle, I didn't bring so much money today, so I won't bother you." After speaking, Yan Nian hurriedly left the stall and walked towards the market.
The old man behind him looked at Yan Nian's departing back and shook his head, muttering something in his mouth.
While walking, he saw a chicken seller on the side of the road, Yan Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea suddenly jumped out of his mind.
Why don't you buy some chicks today, these chicks can lay eggs when they are raised, and the eggs can increase the nutrition of the two little treasures. In the fall, the rooster can still eat chicken or sell it for money.
In the memory of Yan Nian's original owner, the Liu family also raised dozens of chickens, and every day in addition to being busy with the work in the field, he was digging wild vegetables for the chickens, and then going home to chop them and stumbling into the feed, and the chickens were also very good to raise.
Thinking of this, Yan Nian bought twenty chickens without hesitation, spent ten copper coins on Yan Nian, and the seller saw that Yan Nian had nothing to pack, and gave away a wooden box.
Yan Nian looked at the cute chicks in the box, and thought in his heart that he must feed them carefully when he goes home.
By the way, this chick was also bought, what to feed at home? The little rice that the family had could not feed the chickens, so Yan Nian went to the place where the feed was sold.
I spent five more silver dollars to buy a few catties of feed and put them together in the box containing the chickens.
After tossing like this, it was almost noon, and Yan Nian hurriedly went to buy two pieces of cloth, one blue and one colored.
Counting that there were still twenty silver coins in her hand, Yan Nian was ruthless again, and pulled a piece of light blue fabric for herself, and she wanted to change out of this patched clothes, so as to save herself from looking at herself with contempt when she saw Ni Yirou. People are clothes and horses are saddles, and if you change these clothes, you can also change your mood.
There were only fifteen silver coins in his hand, and Yan Nian didn't want to buy anything.
Just about to walk outside the market, he heard a voice calling his name, Yan Nian hurriedly followed the sound, and saw Fang Mingyu standing on the side of the road, waving his hand and shouting to himself, with a roll of straw mats beside him, Yan Nian hurriedly walked over with a wooden box.
"Brother Mingyu, why did you come so early?"
"Ah, there are no important courses in the school, I asked my husband for leave, saying that I would come out early if there was something." Fang Mingyu said as he looked into the wooden box.
"What did you buy? And a wooden box? ”
"Ah, I bought a few chicks and see how cute they are!" Yan Nian smiled and put the box on the ground.
