Chapter 353: Door-to-door
"You two are the proprietor and shopkeeper of the Deng family's silk shop?" Qingwan had an idea, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted enthusiastically: "Please sit down!" I've heard Tai Lai Ge mention it a long time ago, saying that he has always taken good care of him, and we want to say thank you! ”
"You little girl, your mouth is quite sweet." One of them laughed and sat down on the stool casually: "What, this is going to close the stall?" Do you have any medicinal drinks? Bring us two bowls. ”
"Yes, and what, don't worry." Hanguang hurriedly brought two bowls over and put them on the table.
The two of them took it up and drank, and couldn't stop admiring: "When I went back from you yesterday, I felt that the heat of this summer was gone, and I bought ten cups at noon, and I was robbed by everyone, but it was not enough, and the two of us didn't catch a mouthful." Thinking about sending Tai to buy some more, this kid usually stays in the shop obediently, but now I don't know what's wrong, and I can't find the shadow, so I can't do it, so I have to come over and buy two glasses by myself. ”
Ji Tailai was a little unsure of what to do, and Qingwan hurriedly smiled: "If you two drink well, we will cover the medicinal drinks in the shop every day!" In the past few years, we have taken care of Brother Tailai, and we have nothing else to thank, so we can only send a few bowls of medicinal drinks, as long as you two don't dislike it. ”
One of them raised his head, looked at it a few times, and smiled at the person next to him, "Master Dong, did you hear me?" Give us for nothing? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? ”
"According to the two of you, it's just a few glasses of water. What else could he think? It's purely to thank the proprietor and the shopkeeper, but you have to give us this face. Qingwan said.
The proprietor's words hit the nail on the head, but he looked at a kind person: "Tailai, this kid is the most honest, never lies, and he will run out twice today, and after that, I'm afraid that I will have to come here every day." We drink other people's short mouths, and we're embarrassed to care, aren't we? ”
"Tai Lai, the owner's words, but it goes to your heart, doesn't it?" Then Master Dong turned his head and asked.
Seeing that there was no answer, the owner laughed instead: "Okay, in this way, we won't lose money in this business." Such a good medicinal drink can be drunk every day, which is also a good thing. In this way, every day at noon and evening in the future, let Tailai bring some back, as long as it does not delay the business of the shop, we don't care how many times you come. ”
Ji Tailai, who was still very nervous just now, raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and agreed in surprise, and even Master Dong laughed this time.
After drinking the medicine, the two stood up. Ji Tailai also went back with him. Qingwan took out the money bag and looked at it, which was twice as much as yesterday: "Second brother, you still go and exchange it for whole silver, and let's go catch the car when we come back." ”
Hanguang agreed, and ran away. Here the sisters cleaned up the stall, waited for the younger brother to come back, and took three ingots of silver: "I sold a total of eighteen taels today, and exchanged for one ingot of ten taels, and one ingot of five taels, and one ingot of three taels of silver." ”
"Okay, put it on and go back." Qingwan opened the bag, checked it, and confirmed that it was okay, so he carefully put the silver bag away, took the things together, and walked towards the city gate.
On the way, Hanjuan still told her a thousand times, don't tell her parents. Both of them agreed, and Hanjuan seemed to be relieved.
Back at home, Qing Boding and his son had already arrived home first and were washing their faces in the courtyard. Qingwan hurriedly asked, "Dad, why did you come back so early today?" ”
"The work in the fields is almost done, and it doesn't matter much." Qing Boding also looked in a very good mood, "I don't have to go for the past two days, after the festival, just go and clean up." ”
"Then Daddy can get some rest." Qingwan said happily.
"Yes," Qing Boding was full of smiles: "Seeing that the festival is coming, go back and prepare something with your mother, and go to the old mansion in a while to send it to your grandmother!" ”
Qingwan couldn't help but secretly calculate in her heart, this father and mother, always take the end of the old mansion as a parent, but people don't treat you as a child!
Qing Boding is also a stubborn person, looking at this posture, Qing Juan knows that it is useless to say anything, forget it, this little thing will not make his father and mother angry.
"I've already finished everything." Ho was busy serving food to the house. When I heard it, I turned around with some embarrassment: "But I was going to go tomorrow, yesterday the kid Wu Wen sent a lot of snacks, and I also want to take the girl to Li's house to have a look, can't you always take other people's things for nothing, right?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Boding didn't answer, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the family looked there, but saw that it was Wu Wen who came again.
"What is this kid doing so late?" He Shi first stepped forward enthusiastically and said distressedly: "Look, what did you bring here?" Such a dozen big bags? Put it down and rest! Let's eat at my aunt's place in the evening! ”
"It doesn't matter," Coco Wu put the bag he was carrying on the ground, wiped the sweat from his face, and said repeatedly, "I'm not tired." My mother is still waiting for me at home. Here are a few bags of big green leaves, I picked them up the mountain today, and I'll keep them for tomorrow and sell them tomorrow. Sister Wan gets up every morning and the mountain is too hard. ”
With that said, turn around and leave.
He didn't let go: "No, you can't say anything and go like this, looking at so many big green leaves, it must have been picked for a day, so how can my aunt feel okay?" ”
"It's nothing, don't be so polite." Wu Wen said as he spoke, his eyes looked towards Qingwan, but he quickly turned his gaze, as if he was timid.
He pulled him to stay, but Wu Wen grabbed his hand and ran away: "No, I have to go back, and when I have time in the future, I will pick it up and send it again." ”
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
He couldn't hold back, and looked back at the bags of medicinal herbs in the courtyard: "Such a dozen big bags are enough to sell for two or three days, it's really heartfelt." ”
Qingwan's heart was very complicated, she was grateful to Wu Wen, but she also felt that she didn't know what to do in order not to hurt his heart. Looking at the medicinal herbs in this place, he was stunned for a while.
"You kid, why are you here to stay?" He Shi pushed her: "Why don't you put it away quickly?" You see, it's all so fresh and neat, it's picked at first glance. ”
Qingwan had to take the herb bag back into the house first, and He also said: "I don't have to pick it for the past two days, I will eat for a while, and I will go to Li's house with my mother to thank them." While rushing to the table, he urged everyone to eat.
Qing Boding was tired for a day, and after eating two bites, he rested. As soon as he picked up the dishes and chopsticks here, He took out the gifts that had been prepared, but as soon as he put them on the table, before he had time to change his clothes, he heard someone outside the courtyard gate greeting: "Is Sister-in-law Wei at home?" Are you feeling better? ”
"It's your Aunt He!" He Shi heard it at once, and hurriedly greeted him: "I just said that I would bring the girl to your house, but I didn't expect you to come first." Quick, come in and sit down. ”
"Sister-in-law Wei, you are not in good health, but you can't be tired. I said to Ruoping and her father, your family has been in a lot of big and small affairs these days, and I don't know if the things for the holidays have been purchased, and my family has nothing to handle, these two horses are still my sister-in-law just brought, although it is not silk, but look at this pattern is fresh, give it to the girl, the girl to cut clothes to wear. As he spoke, he took out two soft cloths.
"Her aunt, if you are still so polite, I really don't know what to do. Don't talk about it from afar, just say that the snacks you asked Wu Wen to bring that day were all of the best quality, and I sent so many bags of big green leaves just now, which is really sad in my heart. He personally poured the tea and said.
He Shi was stunned when he heard this: "Dim sum? ”
"That's right, you keep it for your own food, and you're always thinking about us."
He frowned, and then said with a smile: "What is there on your lips?" Just eat something fresh. We have been together for so many years, what else is there to say? As he spoke, he pulled a girl behind him to the front: "No, it's going to be a holiday, this is my niece, nicknamed Sakura, who followed her father and mother to visit relatives a few days ago, and I said to take her to visit the door." ”
The girl was not tall, and she didn't speak for a long time, and when she came in, she lowered her head slightly, and seemed to be very shy, so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly.
"Oh," He Shi was slightly embarrassed, and was disrupted by this sudden remark, and it took a lot of effort to regain his composure: "Look at this girl, she looks really smart, and your aunt seems to be carved out of the same mold!" How old is this year? ”
"Fifteen." Sakura raised her head and whispered.
"Listen to this whisper, how sweet it is. We have never seen such a satisfactory girl in our ten miles and eight towns. Your father and mother are really blessed, come, sit next to your aunt. Ho's tone was extremely enthusiastic.
"It's like your own home here," He said with a smile, "You're welcome, just sit down." ”
Sakura agreed, and sat down on the edge of the kang. But he still kept his head down and did not speak.
He grabbed a few handfuls of fruit and handed it to her: "This dress is really bright, look at this material, we have never seen it in our village, it must be a good silk." With this child's character, it is really not enough to be loved. ”
Qingwan recognized the color at a glance, it was the day when the He family went into the city to buy it, and it was really prepared for his niece.
"It's all done by my aunt." Sakura said.
"Oh," although He was still smiling, he had a meaningful feeling, "It's so easy to come once, can you stay a few more days?" ”
"There's a lot going on at home," Sakura took over and thanked her busily, "I'll have to go back after August 20." ”
He Shi showed a very regretful look: "Such a long road, this road is enough to toss, and before I can rest, I have to leave again." ”
"If it weren't for this great event, my brother and sister-in-law wouldn't have left all the work in the field and rushed over, who wouldn't want to live in one place? It's not good to be in the south and the north in this world. He sighed.
"What's the big deal?"
He smiled with a smile: "My brother and sister-in-law are just this one daughter, who has been seen like a pearl in the palm of her hand since she was a child, where is she willing to marry into a family that doesn't know the roots?" ”
