Chapter 136: Children in Charge?
Chai Shuiqing opened the courtyard door, heard the sound and looked over, and saw a middle-aged man pushing a cart over.
Without waiting for Chai Shuiqing to say hello, Chai Shouxiao's voice sounded behind him, with surprise and joy in his tone: "Ah, Brother Zhao is here?" Hurry up, sit inside! ”
As soon as they heard this, they obviously knew each other, and Chai Shuiqing and Li Xiufeng moved out of the way hand in hand.
Chai Shouxiao stepped forward and patted Zhao Dayong on the shoulder, took the cart with a smile, and beckoned him into the house.
It was the first time Chai Shuiqing saw such a hearty smile on Chai Shouxiao's face, and looked at Li Xiufeng with some surprise: "Why do you have time to come over today?" ”
And the person who delivered the cart was actually the uncle of the Li family.
Li Xiufeng walked into the yard with a basket in one hand and Chai Shuiqing in the other, and explained while looking at the yard: "It's not that you want buckwheat noodles, my mother asked my uncle to bring the cart when she sent the buckwheat noodles." ”
If it weren't for her uncle, her mother wouldn't have let her come to town anyway.
Chai Shuiqing nodded: "I'll give you the money for buckwheat noodles later." ”
Li Xiufeng couldn't hear her being so polite, so she pretended to be angry and pouted: "What's the hurry, can you still miss my money?" ”
Seeing this, Chai Shuiqing's smile deepened a little, and she took Li Xiufeng back to the room.
"Whew, you got these, are you ready? If there's anything you need help with, just squeak! ”
Li Xiufeng put down the basket and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two adults who were watching the cart in the yard, and instructed Chai Shuiqing.
When Chai Shuiqing heard her say this, she knew that she was not pretending to be polite, so she nodded: "Okay, I'm really too busy, I'll be the first to find you." ”
The two talked for a while, and then they were called out.
"Xiu Feng'er, let's go!"
Zhao Dayong, the uncle of the Li family, has other things to do, so he can't stay too late.
Chai Shuiqing saw Li Xiufeng's lost look, and understood that she still wanted to play in the town, so she pulled her hand and pinched it to comfort her: "When these buckwheat noodles are used up, I will ask someone to find your uncle to send them, and you will come over together when the time comes!" ”
Li Xiufeng's eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she drooped her shoulders.
She felt that what Chai Shuiqing said was just to comfort her, after all, how could that big bag of buckwheat noodles be used up so quickly!
Chai Shuiqing didn't say anything more, but counted two strings of copper plates and handed them over: "This is the money for buckwheat noodles, this is the salary for the cart, you take it to your father and your uncle." ”
Li Xiufeng also thought that the money would come from the Lin family, after all, the money Chai Shuiqing earned by himself should be saved as a dowry.
But now looking at the way the Chai family rents this yard, Li Xiufeng knows that this family has no money. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lived in such a humble yard.
"Okay, then I'll come to play with you next time!"
Chai Shuiqing nodded, took out a paper bag from the cloth bag next to the bed and stuffed it into her basket: "A little snack, you can take it back and eat it!" ”
Li Xiufeng accepted it happily, thinking in her heart that next time she would have to bring her embroidered handkerchief, which she had wanted to give to Chai Shuiqing earlier.
Out of the house, Zhao Dayong and Chai Shouxiao were talking, and what the two of them were talking about was money.
"Brother Zhao, this ...... The money of this buckwheat noodle...... I'm afraid I'll have to give it to you next time I go back, look at this ......."
Chai Shouxiao rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed.
Zhao Dayong is also sincere, and the two of them used to work together and were very familiar with each other's personalities, so he grinned: "Hehe, Brother Chai, don't be polite to me, what is that little thing!" ”
Li Xiufeng ran over when she heard the sound, and asked for a slightly smaller string of copper plates and handed it over: "Uncle, the buckwheat money given by Da Nier." ”
Zhao Dayong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this family was actually headed by a child, and the money was still placed with the child.
However, in the end, it is someone else's business, and he is not good at talking.
Then, he said goodbye and took Li Xiufeng back.
