42. Dig a pit
"And then?"
Mo Chen pinched the emerald green and shiny Longquan kiln celadon tea cup, leaning lazily on the back of the chair with an indifferent expression.
Zhang Dongcheng stood opposite and said, "The little one passed by and listened to it, but he didn't dare to ask." ”
The storefront shop leased to Qian Duo is next to the backyard.
Zhang Dongcheng has to inspect the house every day, and today is also a coincidence, when he passed by the backyard, he bumped into Qian Duo and Zhang talking in the small account room.
People who practice martial arts have smart ears, Zhang Dongcheng didn't want to listen to the corner and heard a lot of content, so he immediately ran to Mo Chen and said:
"Miss Qian Duo has severed her relationship with the fourth room, and the fourth room can't handle the other party's relatives, so she wants to make a secret move."
"Childe, Qian Duo is the partner we recruited after all, do you want to do me a favor?"
Mo Chen took a sip of tea, his eyes swept to his fingers with the crescent imprint, thinking that the space could only be entered by Qian Duo's words, and he felt uncomfortable: "The wind rises and blows a pool of spring water." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng didn't understand.
Mo Chen's eyelids drooped, and he added lightly: "What's the matter!" ”
Zhang Dongcheng understood, this was not to let him be nosy: "That's right, it was enough for us to ask a doctor for her to do good deeds without leaving her name." ”
"Whether she is close to us or not is her fate, and since she knows the news in advance, she must take precautions."
"Qian Duoduo is a handsome and lovely little girl, born in a family like ours, she must be holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth."
"It's a bastard in her family, you see that the little girl is having a miserable life, alas!"
Zhang Dongcheng sighed heavily, hitting Mo Chen's heart like a hammer.
For some reason, Qian Duo's bright eyes suddenly appeared in front of Mo Chen's eyes, and his smile was as beautiful as the bright crescent moon in the night sky, and he couldn't see the hardships of life at all.
Think about the jacket and skirt on Qian Duo's body, which is made of the cheapest fabric, which is of extremely poor quality and rough, and it is impossible to see the original color when washed.
The ragged clothes and the smiling eyes do not match at all.
The tea in Mo Chen's hand suddenly stopped smelling.
Zhang Dongcheng sighed again: "To be honest, I like the little girl's cleverness. ”
A bunch of furniture thrown away as garbage was sold out by the little girl, and there was even a phenomenon where customers almost fought to grab the goods.
He was convinced.
After chatting about the gossip, Zhang Dongcheng was ready to arrange other matters.
Mo Chen opened his mouth: "Pay close attention, strike first!" ”
“……”?
Zhang Dongcheng looked back at Mo Chen, and saw that the other party had set the tea cups one by one, and wiped the water stains with a silk handkerchief, looking calm and relaxed, suspecting that he had just hallucinated.
"Didn't you hear?" Mo Chen frowned when he saw Zhang Dongcheng standing stunned.
Zhang Dongcheng suddenly realized that it was not an auditory hallucination just now, it was really Gongzi who asked her to help Miss Qian Duo.
Although he felt that something was wrong, he still resolutely carried out the order, turned around and strode out.
…………
At noon, the Zhang family had already left, and Qian Duo took out a handful of copper plates and threw them to Shui Sheng and Gouyu, letting the two of them wander around the street.
Shui Sheng and Gou Yu didn't see anything unusual, and held the copper plate and thanked him happily.
Qian Duo smiled: "It's not for you, it's for you to help me stock up on some goods, and there is no surplus food at home." ”
The half bag of grain given by the Wu family when he was recuperating earlier has been eaten.
Qian Duo thought that the whole town was suffering from a disaster now, and he was afraid that the price of food would rise, so it was a matter of urgency to save some food while everyone had not reacted yet.
"Two bags of coarse grains, two portions of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, two packets of melon seeds and two packs of rock sugar." Qian Duo thought about it, estimated that the money might not be enough, and took out a handful of them from the money bag and stuffed them: "Mutton and pork will help cut a few catties respectively, pork should be five-flowered, mutton must be with mutton fat, and if there are eggs sold, they will also weigh a few catties." ”
She didn't hoard too much, how much can she eat and drink if she lives alone?
As long as you can survive the difficult period, you can leave some supplies for other people who need it more, and you can't eat alone.
Qian Jiagou's families sold vegetables more or less for money, and they didn't covet her little things, so Qian Duo was relieved to let Shui Sheng and Gou Yu help with the purchase.
She thought about it again, and felt that there was nothing more to buy, so she waved her hand: "You guys hurry up, you must keep the price down, and the money saved will be used as your hard work today." ”
Shui Sheng was of course happy when he heard it, but he didn't expect to make money by casually going out with Qian Duo.
After carefully putting away the money, he asked, "Sister, aren't you going with you?" The store is sold out, so there's no use keeping it here, right? ”
Qian Duo patted the money bag: "I have to settle the bill for the owner." After shopping, you can directly transport it to my house, and if I am not at home, I will find Li Zheng to look for me in the mountains. ”
"Okay." Shui Sheng and Gou Yu were young, and they didn't hear anything wrong at all, so they happily agreed, and went to the street to buy goods with a cart in their pockets.
Qian Duo watched the backs of the two disappear into the street, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he stuffed all the money bags into his arms.
She said that it is true to settle accounts with Mo Chen, other people's furniture and other people's shops are not three or seven points, Mo Chen is three, and she is seven.
But settling accounts is not today, since we know Li Cuihua's idea, if she is rude, wouldn't it seem rude to us?
Qian Duo carried a bag of money and swayed back to the village.
Yungang Town is thirty miles away from Qianjiagou, which sounds quite far, but in fact, after a few more trips, it feels not so far.
Qian Duo walked on two legs, all the way unimpeded, thinking about his heart, the pace unconsciously accelerated, usually three hours away, today two and a half hours to arrive at the entrance of the village.
There is smoke rising in the village, and it will be evening.
It is estimated that the aquatic life and the dog are left, and after a turn on the street, they will return to the village in another hour.
She swaggered around the village and went to find the Wu family.
The Wu family and the old fourth room are opposite the door.
Qian Duo entered the Wu family's house and looked at the gate of the old fourth room, there was a crack open, and there were people in the courtyard.
She smiled slightly, walked straight into the Wu family's house, and said in a loud voice: "Auntie, Shui Sheng and Gou Yu helped me buy things, and I will be back in a while." I was a little uncomfortable, so I came back first. ”
"What's uncomfortable?" Wu was making a fire to make cakes, and when he heard that Qian Duo was uncomfortable, he immediately put down the work in his hand and went up: "Is your stomach cold, you lie down on the kang in the house first, I just burned it, and it was very warm." ”
Qian Duo waved his hand and deliberately said, "No, Auntie, you are busy, I may have a cold, I will go to the mountains to pick some herbs and cook them in a while, and I will sweat after drinking." ”
"Then what to do, it's going to be dark, and it's not safe to go into the mountains." Wu pulled her and didn't let her go.
Qian Duo hurriedly jumped out and patted his chest: "It's okay aunt, I'm familiar with the mountain road, and I don't go deeper, besides, I have to put the money back first." ”
She was fast, and she ran away for a while, and the Wu clan couldn't catch up at all.
Wu shook his head, smelled a smell of mush, looked at the pan, the pancakes were all burned black, and hurried over to turn them over.
The door of the old fourth room, which was originally slit, was closed tightly at this time.
Li Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief in the door, a godsend!
