Chapter 15: The Harvest is Full
"Hahaha, madam, you are really amazing, Xu sighed to himself, it seems that I don't agree to ask for your yams, I agreed to your conditions."
"Then thank you shopkeeper Xu, it definitely makes you feel that it is worth the money, I will bring the yam over tomorrow, please prepare the deed." Chu Yan's face was calm, and she was very happy in her heart.
When everything was negotiated, Chu Yan smiled and said to Shen Yulan: "Sister Lan, you have been busy for so many days, let's go, let's go shopping." ”
Anyway, the next two months can be regarded as a stable income, can be connected with the restaurant, do not have to work so hard, get up before dawn to make pastries, go to the town in the morning to sell, and then go to the mountains in the afternoon to look for yams, busy feet do not touch the ground.
Shen Yulan was also happy, unlike the first time she was reluctant to spend money after earning money, now that she is rich, her waist is also stiff.
Gradually, I began to be willing to buy food, except for some times when I gasped in distress.
"Sister Lan, let's go pull some fabric!"
After that, Chu Yan and the others went straight to the cloth village in the town.
These days are busy and I don't take care of it, the clothes on the two elders of the Wang family and Chu Yan are worn out and can't be worn, so they responded to the sentence of three years of the new and three years of the old, and they have been sewing and mending for three years, and now the patches are stacked with patches, and there is no way to make up for them.
There are not many cloth villages in the town, and there is only one cheap cloth village suitable for Chu Yan.
Buzhuang is not far from the morning market, it is still early at this time, and there are only a few scattered guests in Buzhuang, and the clothes and fabrics are all the costumes of the peasant family.
When one of the guys saw the two, he was not very enthusiastic, and greeted him perfunctorily: "What kind of fabric do you want to buy, if you like it, it is called a small one." ”
With that, he went to the side and beckoned to a woman who was slightly better dressed.
Chu Yan and Shen Yulan glanced at each other, looked down at their clothes, although they were worn out and patched, they were clean and clean, and they were very neatly cleaned up.
But these days, they see a lot of people putting down dishes, and they don't care very much.
The fabrics on the outer shelves are mostly navy blue, dark gray coarse fabrics.
The fabrics on the shelves inside are better, there are muslin cloths, and some satin fabrics with colors, but the satin is not suitable for Chu Yan, and it is inconvenient to work.
Shen Yulan couldn't take her eyes off it, and the rows of colorful and beautiful cotton cloth she hadn't worn for several years.
When she didn't get married, her father bought her once, and after she got married, she always wore coarse cloth clothes with gray patches.
Women have always had no resistance to beautiful clothes, and Shen Yulan is no exception.
She even began to imagine what the clothes would look like, soft muslin made of clothes, embroidered with a few orchids, and her waist was slightly tucked.
"Sister Lan, which color do you like?" Chu Yan's gaze swept over one by one, and at a glance, she fell in love with an aqua green dark blue corrugated fabric.
"Huh? Oh! Chu Yan's words interrupted Shen Yulan's thoughts.
The hand that had been stroking the fabric paused for a moment, and his face darkened.
"Girl, I still don't want it."
Chu Yan was puzzled, "Why?" Then it came to pass.
The Yang family is not a worry-free person, Shen Yulan has five copper plates in her hand that she discovered, and everyone knows about it.
If Shen Yulan pulls the cloth to make new clothes, it will definitely cause an uproar again.
Chu Yan couldn't think of any good way for a while, the money could still be hidden, and the clothes couldn't be bought and worn, so it was better not to buy them.
"In this way, Sister Lan, you are still wearing your current clothes outside, and you are ...... inside," Chu Yan whispered a few words to Shen Yulan.
The small clothes inside are also more comfortable in cotton.
Listening to Chu Yan's words, Shen Yulan's face turned from gloomy to clear: "Yes, that's great, by the way, I'll pull a piece of fabric for Pipi again, and I'll say that his grandmother made it." ”
This is also reasonable, Shen Yulan's mother's house is not far from Jinshan Village, and she has two older brothers, and she has been pampered since she was a child.
However, after getting married, the mother-in-law was afraid that her mother-in-law would have ideas, so she could only secretly make up for some food and money.
Now that Wang Facai has gone to become a soldier, his grandmother has prepared a dress for his grandson, and even if the Yang family is not satisfied, he can't snatch it away.
This idea seems to have opened the door to a new world for Shen Yulan, she has always thought that marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is not troublesome if she can not trouble her father and brother without trouble.
Now that she has been following Chu Yan out for a while, she has thought about it a lot, if she doesn't want to find a way, she and her son will not be able to live a good life at all, and there will be no way to spend the money.
Chu Yan didn't know that Shen Yulan had thought so much in just a moment.
Liu Dani was abused by her stepmother, she is not the soul of this era, she has no concept of her mother's family at all, if there is, it is just disgust.
Shen Yulan quickly picked a piece of dark blue cotton fabric for Pippi, and picked a gray fabric for herself.
On the other side, Chu Yan also chose almost the same, she didn't have as many worries as Shen Yulan, Wang Laoshi and Tian were good, she chose two for each of the three.
"Sister Lan, are you alright?"
When the two men saw that they really wanted to buy it, and they were buying medium-grade cotton fabrics, their faces were suddenly full of smiles.
A fellow flattered and said, "Two ladies, we still have fine muslin here, do you want to take a look?" ”
The other hurriedly pushed him aside and introduced Chu Yan with a smile: "If you buy more, you can be cheaper, madam, do you want to take a look at this?" It's very suitable for buying for the father-in-law? ”
The two guys were gossiping, and Chu Yan couldn't cry or laugh.
"Okay, okay, we're going to call you, you guys go get busy first."
The two guys could only reluctantly stand aside, their intestines were about to repent, and they knew that they would be enthusiastic, so that the materials sold today were enough to spend for several days.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Yan and Shen Yulan were sent out of the door respectfully by the two guys.
"Welcome back next time." Walking far away, you can still hear the sound of sending them off.
Then the two patronized the grain shop again, bought half a bag of polished rice and half a bag of white noodles, three catties of sugar, cut a few catties of meat, and asked the boss to send a few more big bones, and returned with two baskets full of them.
When she was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, she was inevitably discovered and spread to the ears of the Yang family, Shen Yulan and Chu Yan were separated, and the things she bought were stored in the Wang family first as usual.
In the past few days, the farm work in the fields is basically over, and we will wait for the autumn harvest in a month.
The strong laborers who could go out to do short-term work went out, and the women, in addition to going up to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, were at the door of the house in their spare time.
Chu Yan carried two baskets of things, which were tightly covered, and even if the Wang family was remote, it was seen by several people.
I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Da Zhuang's family, what are you picking?" ”
"The wild vegetables dug in the mountains, the wild fruits picked up, and dried at home and stored for the winter."
"Then you don't need so much, huh?" One of the women pouted, clearly unconvinced.
It's been a few days, and Liu Dani came back sneakily from outside, and I don't know what to do.
When Chu Yan passed by the woman, she suddenly stepped forward.
