Before entering the hospital, Hanguang shouted loudly: "Dad! Mother! See what we're buying? ”

"So much!" Hanjuan was drying clothes in the courtyard, and when she saw the packages in their hands, she couldn't believe her eyes: "You bought all this?" ”

"Of course!" Hanguang proudly raised the bag in his hand: "This is a moon cake, this is a melon in the Western Regions, as well as a duck, and fish, all of which were bought by the second sister!" ”

"You kid," He Shi heard the sound and came out of it, "how much silver does this cost?" ”

"Mother," Qingwan carried her things and brought them to the table in the house, "Don't feel distressed, we can't afford it now." Isn't this about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's not every day, so it's time for you and Dad to take a good rest! ”

"Yes," He said, still happy in his heart, "Our family hasn't been through the festival for many years, and there have been so many happy events recently, it's time to celebrate!" ”

"Second sister, how is the stall going? Is it good to rent? How much silver was spent? Hanjuan asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry, everything went smoothly today, and I have rented a tea stall on Fenglong Street for seven taels of silver per month."

"So much?" The He mother and daughter both subconsciously blurted out, "Can there be a cheaper one?" That's all you need for a small stall? ”

Qingwan patiently explained: "You don't know the market in the city, Hong Leong Street is the most prosperous area, we are new to the city, there are no repeat customers, we have to find a densely populated place, so as to attract more popularity, will be a hit." This money must not be spared. Besides, the stoves, pots and cups, tables and chairs on the stall are all said to be left to us, which can also save a few taels of silver. It also saves a lot of work, and there is no need to buy and move now. ”

He thought about it and felt that what his daughter said was also reasonable: "That's right, the sooner you open to sell this, the better, after a few days, the weather is cooler, there are fewer sick people, and it's not easy to sell medicine and drinks." ”

"That's right." Qingwan said and took out the paperwork from her bag: "You see, it has been signed, and the deposit for three months will be paid first, a total of twenty-one taels." ”

He didn't look closely: "Your father has said it, you have the final say on this matter, and my mother is just worried about asking." But can this medicine be sold for three months? ”

"If we don't sell this, we can sell something else." Qingwan planned all these things when he paid the money, "There are many people in the city, and there are many businesses that can be done. ”

"Mother, can we eat first tonight? It's going to be a few days before the holidays. He stared at the large pile of things on the kang table with light eyes, and was reluctant to take his eyes off it. After listening to them for a long time, I got up in a hurry.

"You gluttonous cat, didn't your second sister buy you something delicious at noon?" Hanjuan asked funny.

"Eldest sister," as soon as she heard this, Hanguang became anxious, "You don't know, we can be at noon."

"Okay, dad is coming back soon, we have to hurry up and cook, and we'll talk about the things in the city in a moment." Qingwan hurriedly interrupted the conversation, if she talked about it, she wouldn't be able to finish it for a long time, and she planned to tell her father and mother carefully at night.

As soon as he talked about eating, Hanguang put what he had just done on the back of his neck: "Mother, what are we going to eat tonight?" ”

In this way, the mooncakes are kept for the day of the festival and then eaten. This duck can also rest for a few days. The fish is still eaten fresh. In the evening, just steam a fish, stir-fry a few vegetables, and after eating, wash some fruit! Ho happily dispatched.

"Great!" Hanguang jumped three feet high, and hurriedly went to the table to pick up the fish: "I'll clean it up!" Let the mother steam for a while. The fish made by my mother is the most delicious! ”

"Our family hasn't eaten fish for two years, what time are you talking about this?" Hanjuan said with a smile.

"Eldest sister, did you forget?" Hanguang turned around and said: "On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, grandma asked my mother to come over to help Zhang Luo's family banquet, which was the fish made by my mother, but my grandmother didn't allow me to eat a mouthful, saying that there was a lot of rice and grain in our family." Later, Sister Hanyan brought me a piece. I just ate some. ”

Speaking of the bitterness of the past, and then looking at the different scenes in front of him, He Shi was happy and sad: "Hanjuan, prepare all the ginger and shallots in a while, and my mother will make it for you today, everyone will have a good time!" ”

"Great!" Hanguang carried the fish, and ran to the kitchen as soon as he slipped the cigarette.

The family was talking and laughing in the kitchen to prepare dinner, and He's body basically recovered, plus he was in a good mood and extra energetic, so he steamed the fish carefully, and made several dishes such as fried eggs, scrambled eggplant, and mixed vermicelli with his daughter.

The fish was about to be steamed, and Qing Boding and his son carried the guy and walked into the courtyard with a tired face. As soon as he came in, Wei Hanguan smelled the fragrance wafting in the air: "What delicious did you make?" How fragrant? ”

"Coming back?" He Shi wiped his hands on his apron as he walked out of the kitchen, "Why is it so late today?" Even if you are in a hurry to work, you can't give up your life! ”

"It's almost done." Qing Boding's mood also seemed to be good, "It'll be over in two days." No, there is only a little left of this land today, and you don't have to come back when you are done. ”

"Dad, hurry up and wash your face and eat. Look at your face covered in sweat. Qingwan came out with a large basin of warm water in the morning, soaked in a towel in the basin, and greeted.

"Girl, how are you doing? I'm still thinking about it in the field. I'm afraid that you two children will not be able to find the door in the city and let the family cheat. Qing Boding asked anxiously while wiping his face.

"It's all already rented, don't worry. Let's not talk about this for a while, you and your eldest brother must be hungry, right? I'll tell you more carefully after eating. ”

Han Juan put all the dishes in the pot on the plate and put them on the kang table in the house: "The second sister specially bought the fish and came back, Dad, you can taste it first." ”

Qing Boding showed a surprised look on his face: "What? Also bought fish? ”

You know, their family hasn't tasted fish for several years!

He Shi looked at her husband's reaction, her eyes turned red, she hurriedly raised her sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled: "Yes, the girl said that the festival is coming soon, you and the children have also worked hard during this time, buy something, let's have a good holiday!" I'll make a few dishes first, and I'll get the kids to eat some of them tonight! ”

"Okay, okay," Qing Boding's voice was also a little choked, and he said continuously: "Come up and sit down, don't be reluctant to move chopsticks, you children, you have been like an adult these days." ”

Although the family is tired for a day, the mood is both happy and excited, plus there has not been such a sumptuous meal for a long time, there is no drop of four dishes and one soup, and everyone is satisfied.

Hanguan put down his chopsticks and went to the house to review his homework, Hanguang didn't want to read, but he was embarrassed not to go.

"I'm going to give you a day off today and go outside and have fun." Qingwan saw his thoughts, and couldn't bear to force him, so he said.

Hanguang peeked at his parents and saw that they had no intention of objecting, so he happily agreed and ran out of the hospital.

By the time the dishes and chopsticks were finished, it was already dark. There were newly bought seasonal grapes on the table, and Qingwan filled the teacup again, and then slowly explained everything he encountered during the day: "Fortunately, with the help of Na Lu Gongzi, this stall is quite cheap." We don't suffer. ”

"This Lu Gongzi is really a good person, last time I was in the mountains, I saw it by chance, and I gave you that ginseng, and now he is so enthusiastic. I have to remember this affection, although our family is poor, we are not the ungrateful people, and we have to thank others when we look back. Qing Boding said.

"I've already returned all the ginseng money to him, and I've added a few taels according to the market price. If you say other thanks, people don't lack anything, as long as we have the heart, we are not in a hurry at this time, and we will talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future. ”

"Girl," He Shi listened for a long time, and suddenly raised his head at this time, wanting to say something, but hesitated not to say it.

"Mother, what do you want to ask?" Qingwan was a little puzzled.

"This Lu Gongzi, I don't know if he has a family?" He finally confided the doubts in his heart.

Qingwan suddenly understood: "Where did you think of going?" Lu Gongzi just helped me out of kindness, and I understand the proportions here. Besides, he can't live in the county for a few days in a year, and he can't see him if he wants to, so what else can he do? ”

"That's good," He Shi put his mind at ease, "He is the son of a rich and noble family, we are poor and white, we can't be involved with him more, otherwise, we can't afford it." ”

"I know." Qingwan hurriedly agreed, and said, "You don't need to buy a stove or anything, you just need to transport the big green leaves to the city." I want to go up the hill early tomorrow morning, dig as much as I can, and pack it freshly so that I can start selling it at noon. ”

"Okay, let's do it." Qing Boding agreed, "Let Hanguang go with you." ”

"Although it's small, it's a stall after all," He Shi thought for a while and said, "If you get busy, I'm afraid the two of you won't be able to greet you, so let Miss Juan go too, and many people are always at ease." Mother's body is already well, you don't have to worry about it at home. ”

Qingwan still wanted to refuse, but He repeated categorically: "If it's just the two of you, my mother and your eldest sister won't be at ease at home." That's it. ”

Hearing this, Qingwan knew that she couldn't do it, so she had to agree: "Then don't be tired at home, you have to rest." ”

"Mother knows. Alright, let's go to bed, we have to wake up early tomorrow. Don't look at just setting up a small tea stall, you have to go up the mountain every day to get medicinal herbs, this job is not easy. He urged distressedly.

In fact, Qingwan didn't feel tired, but she was afraid that her father and mother would worry, so she had to agree and return to the room with her eldest sister.

I slept well and woke up early. As soon as it was a little bright the next day, Qingwan got up, found two big baskets at home, and prepared to go up the mountain to pick big green leaves.

Hanguang came out of the house at some point: "Second sister, why don't you call me?" Why did you leave me behind? ”
