After the good carriage passed, there were naturally other guests on the road. There are also curious people who stop to ask, and some people drink a glass of water, feel very comfortable, and give a reward to the copper plate.

In short, they have gained something, and they are much more lively than the cold fall of the previous day. At the time of the final liquidation, there were only twenty copper plates in total, and if you put aside the handkerchief that Su Jinyao obtained, it was much less than the previous day's income.

However, even the income of twenty wen surprised Xiao Cheng'er. He only sold a few copper plates for two or three days of firewood. And the eldest sister washes other people's clothes, and it is only thirty or forty yuan a month.

The time it takes for this small water shop to open in one day is only a little more than an hour, which can be worth the income of him and his eldest sister for half a month. If you count the money Su Jinyao bought back yesterday, this is not two days that can be worth a month's income!

"Second sister, these are twenty copper plates, today, is there another dish to eat today?" Xiao Cheng'er thought about the days when the second sister said that she would eat white rice every day in the future, and that she didn't have to eat wild vegetables if she had fresh vegetables, and her eyes were shining.

Su Jinyao looked at the twenty copper plates, but she was not so surprised. In fact, with such an income, it is really good in a small mountain village. And judging from the satisfied and surprised expressions of Xiaocheng'er, it is really a good way for a family to make ends meet.

But Su Jinyao didn't forget that she also promised to compensate the third aunt's family. One hundred dollars for three days, if you follow such an income, you will definitely not be able to answer.

What's more, Su Jinyao feels that this shop is at such a stable level for the time being, unless she makes efforts to get some new tricks, she will be active again.

But at present, there is no capital, and it can be regarded as a foreign debt, although it is not a hundred yuan, but it is also a pressure.

Su Jinyao asked while cleaning up: "Xiaocheng'er, do you think this small water is paved, then you can take care of it yourself tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Myself?" Xiao Cheng'er seemed a little hesitant, and then raised her head and asked Su Jinyao: "Second sister, do you think I can do it?" It looks like you're greeting guests today. ”

"Why not? Didn't you hear what the second sister said when she greeted the guests? Su Jinyao patted Xiao Cheng'er on the shoulder, which was a little encouragement for him.

Xiao Cheng'er nodded and said, "I heard it all, and I remembered it." But...... But people come and go, and I don't know which one to greet or which not to greet. ”

"Don't worry, this ability to see people is not something that can be practiced in a day. It is to ask you to see more, contact more, and slowly it will be. We don't have so many goods here, don't worry about the price, as long as you treat the guests sincerely, the guests are in the same mood as if they were rewarded or not, and they just treat it with a normal heart. ”

Seeing that Xiao Cheng'er was going to say something, Su Jinyao simply said: "That's it, Xiao Cheng'er will try it himself tomorrow, and I will watch you on the slope over there." If you do it well, I'll give you a thumbs up and give you confidence to cheer you up. Don't worry if you don't do it well, you will get used to it slowly. ”

"But, I'm looking at the small water shop here, where is the second sister going? Don't do that heavy work. If there is really any strength to resist on the back, then the second sister is still watching here, and I will do it. Xiaocheng'er was afraid that Su Jinyao would be tired, so he maintained it seriously.

Su Jinyao said warmly: "Second sister does have other jobs, but she is not going to sell coolies. I'm relieved to have a small town here, the second sister has to think of ways to make a lot of money, and she won't send you to the school in the future. ”

"The second sister can really make a lot of money? The second sister can really do it. Xiaocheng'er has an inexplicable admiration for Su Jinyao, and his eyes are full of envy and respect.

"Alright, let's go down the hill when we're done. I wanted to pick some mountain goods before, but I didn't pick them. It's still early, let's go, and see what can be used with the second sister. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took the first step to carry the bamboo tube containing water.

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly came to fight, Su Jinyao glared and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will do all the work here, and I won't help you with a finger." So don't fight with me today. ”

Xiao Cheng'er naturally understood that the second sister felt sorry for him, smiled and mentioned other things, and followed behind Su Jinyao.

The two siblings talked and laughed over the hill, and still put the bamboo tube in the grass by the spring.

Xiao Cheng'er looked at the grass and looked around, and said, "If you often come and go in the future, it is better to build a shack here and put some commonly used things, so as not to be bitten by the rain and insects." ”

"Well, it's a good idea, but take your time and don't rush it. The second sister still has a lot of ideas, but they all have to slowly accumulate enough strength before they can act. Su Jinyao naturally has her thoughts, and she can't wait to cover all the mountains here.

It was still early, and Su Jinyao and Xiaoshu walked around the mountain. Xiaocheng'er cut a lot of firewood by the way, and Su Jinyao picked a lot of mushrooms.

Wandering along the mountain, until I walked to the cave that Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er had chosen before. Xiao Cheng'er put a large bundle of dry firewood in the cave, and then went down the mountain with Su Jinyao.

Going down the mountain is the backyard of the Su family, Su Jinyao asked Xiaocheng'er to go home first, but she wanted to buy some food and go back.

Su Jinyao felt that since the twenty wen was too different from the one hundred, there was no need to save hard, it was better to eat something good.

After all, the three sisters and brothers in their family are not very old, and they still have the opportunity to develop and grow taller if they are well nourished. You can't just keep eating bran and vegetable noodles with yellow muscles and thin muscles, guarding the most beautiful youth, but you have become a "princess of Taiping".

Yesterday, when Su Jinyao was shopping for vegetables at Li's house, she saw that there were other vegetables in her vegetable field, so she still went to Li's house.

Because she already knew the way, Su Jinyao turned a deaf ear to the women who loved to whisper and chew her tongue when she looked at her, and walked straight towards the Li family. However, I didn't see Chun Niu wandering outside today.

When Su Jinyao came to the door of Li's house, the door was not closed, and she could see the daughter-in-law of the Li family busy working on the edge of the vegetable patch in the yard.

Su Jinyao shouted outside the door: "Aunt Li, I'm here to buy vegetables." ”

"Oh, it's Jinyao. When you come, you enter the hospital, what do you say hello outside, and you are so polite. Aunt Li stood up and said, wiped her hand on her apron, and greeted her, "Jinyao, you are really capable, and you made money again today?" ”

"Well, it's the same owner from yesterday." Su Jinyao was not used to being asked how much money she made, so she answered vaguely. Then he opened the topic and asked, "Aunt Li, what are the dishes today?" ”

"Look at you, I'm afraid that my aunt will rob you of your money-making livelihood." Aunt Li joked with a smile before saying, "The cabbage over there and the eggplant here are all sold." ”

Su Jinyao looked at the little cabbage still in the ground, it was really good, and it was very tender. If you look at the freshly picked eggplant, there are still small spikes on the stem, which is also very fresh. Then he asked: "Eggplant costs two catties, and cabbage makes a soup, half a catty is enough." How are they sold? ”

Su Jinyao deliberately said the number of catties she wanted to buy first, and then asked the price, just to let Aunt Li know that she really wanted to buy vegetables here.

Aunt Li is not a dull woman, otherwise she would not be able to run a family. Busy smiled: "Eggplant costs three dollars a pound, and cabbage costs four dollars a pound." These are all freshly picked, and my aunt won't count you for a penny, and it really can't be cheap. However, my aunt will serve you half a bowl of sauce, and you will go home and just stew eggplant. ”

In fact, Su Jinyao didn't come here to take advantage. However, listening to Aunt Li's words, she was very honest, and she didn't mean to ridicule, and she also felt that she was good at business. After all, she is not the only one in the township who sells vegetables, and giving more discounts will naturally lead to good popularity. It is also good that home-grown vegetables can be exchanged for money without leaving the hospital.

Su Jinyao thanked her, and she wasn't too embarrassed. After all, she didn't even compare the prices, she only came to Li's house, and she was happy to pay for things, so she was a good customer.

Aunt Li weighed the eggplant and cabbage, and went into the house to fill half a bowl of sauce. Although it is only half a bowl, the sauce is a farmer's bean paste, and it smells very fragrant.

Aunt Li covered the sauce bowl with a small piece of red cloth, put it in a basket with eggplant and cabbage, and said with a smile when she handed it to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, this basket was just sent back by your sister in the morning." Next time, don't be in a hurry to deliver it, just take it back when you buy groceries. ”

"Well, I remember that next time I would bring a basket from home, but I can't always use Aunt Li's. Look at what you need urgently, you don't have to use it. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took out the eight cents and handed it to Aunt Li, and was ready to go home with the basket.

Walking to the door, Aunt Li seemed to have just remembered something, and called Su Jinyao to stop: "Jinyao, auntie wants to ask you, yesterday the city was making a fuss at your third aunt's house, I heard that the chicken coop was lifted, and in the end you really agreed to lose money?" ”

"Hmm." Su Jinyao agreed, but didn't take it to heart.

After all, this incident is not a small matter, there is a group of people in this small mountain village who love to chew the root of their tongues, and it is estimated that she came out of the third aunt's house yesterday, and the whole village knows about it.

Seeing that Su Jinyao agreed, Aunt Li hurriedly took two steps to Su Jinyao, and asked in a low voice, "Then why did you discuss it with your eldest sister, or did you hide it from her directly?" Your eldest sister was so anxious that she cried when she heard someone say it today, and she went door to door to borrow money, but she didn't borrow it. ”

"Huh? My eldest sister came out to borrow money? Su Jinyao was stunned, she didn't expect Sophie to do this.

Su Jinyao deliberately didn't tell Su Fei'er yesterday, because she didn't want her to worry, thinking that she had a way to make money, so she lost the hundred.

And Su Jinyao has already made up her mind, although she has lost money, she will not make Liu Dongmei of the third aunt's family feel better. Therefore, Sophie could not let this matter know. lest when she wants to do something to Liu Dongmei, Sophie will come out to stop her again.

But Su Jinyao never expected that when Sophie heard about it from others, she would come out to borrow money on her own. No matter how you say this, you have to wait until she gets home and asks clearly.

"Aunt Li, I have to go back quickly." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she didn't care about anything else, and ran home with her basket and legs.

Aunt Li shouted behind her: "Run slowly, don't fall." ”

But Su Jinyao was so anxious that she didn't even forget to say yes. It's just running fast.

As soon as I got home, before I entered the hospital, I listened to Sophie's sobbing cries and Xiaocheng'er's shouting: "I'm not wrong, I won't lose money to their family." Big deal, go see the official. ”

Su Jinyao listened, and after a pause, she didn't enter the door immediately, but calmed her breath and stood outside the door and listened.

I heard Sophie cry again: "Cheng'er, why are you so strong! If you hadn't caused trouble yesterday, would our family have been in debt all of a sudden? Jinyao is also yes, why did she promise to lose so much money without making a sound. I'm still ...... When she's really not stupid and powerful, forget it. ”

Then there was the voice of Su Xiangui shouting in the house: "Don't say it, if you are wrong, you must admit it." A chicken coop, just go and re-cover it at your third aunt's house. Why do you have to be so noisy and crying? After seeing that Jinyao came back for a while, she was not allowed to mention it again. No matter how bad it is, what if you lose money? ”

"Lose money and lose money, Dad, what are you going to lose money? Our family just had a full meal, why did we forget our book? Sophie was still crying, and it sounded like the sky was falling.

Su Jinyao couldn't listen anymore, pushed the door and walked in, and said, "It's okay, I promised this hundred papers, and I can naturally think of compensating them for it." ”

Sophie listened to Su Jinyao's voice and turned around, and then saw Su Jinyao carrying a basket of vegetables in her hand. I don't know if the tendon was wrong, Sophie screamed, and then pounced on Su Jinyao.

Sophie made Su Jinyao flutter this time, and then she felt that her arm was pulled hard, the basket in her hand fell to the ground, the dishes were spilled, and the bowl with sauce also fell to the ground and shattered.

That's not all, Sophie twisted Su Jinyao's arm again, and cried: "Buy groceries, you gluttonous stupid girl." In the past, our family was poor, and we ate everything by yourself. You also threw dirt in the pot and starved the whole family. Now it's okay, don't be stupid, but you will get some money, but you buy and eat like this every day, and you can't save a penny, and this family is about to eat it up for you. Now you still promise people to lose money, take on debts, and still have the heart to eat? How can you live this day? But what's the deal! ”

Su Fei'er screwed it this time, and Su Jinyao was defenseless, and it hurt to be screwed.

When did Su Jinyao suffer such a loss, she flipped her wrist and grabbed Su Fei'er's arm, and an over-the-shoulder fall knocked her to the ground.

However, Su Jinyao will not be hot-headed because she was twisted. So when she fell off Sophie, she had a lot of strength in her hand, and even if she was still on the ground, it wouldn't break her.

But this frightened Sophie, sat on the ground for a long time without saying a word, looked at Su Jinyao stupidly, and her body trembled.

Su Jinyao ignored Su Fei'er's stunned appearance, rolled up her sleeves and took a look, and saw that a bruised finger print on her arm had appeared.

Su Jinyao looked at the bruises on her arms, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to kill. Secretly told herself that Sophie in front of her was still a child, so she was ignorant.

Su Cheng didn't expect the eldest sister to suddenly become spicy just now, and in a daze, he saw Su Fei'er pounce on Su Jinyao, and then saw that she was thrown by Su Jinyao. Now he saw the bruises on Su Jinyao's arms, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, you have pinched the second sister." Why are your hands so heavy. ”

Sophie was still sitting on the ground, trembling for a long time and not seeing anyone come to coax her, and was asked by Su Cheng, and suddenly tears flowed down again.

However, Sophie didn't cry like a splash this time, but lowered her head and shed tears, sobbing in a low voice: "I, I'm not in a hurry?" Aren't I also for this family? When my father was paralyzed on the kang, Cheng'er was still wearing open crotch pants, so I had to help my mother work. When my mother passed away, I was not yet twelve, and I had to support this family. Which of you relieved me at that time? Now that I have said a few words to you, I think I am not right. I got angry and threw me to the ground, how can you bully people? Is my eldest sister not doing anything right, and can't follow your thoughts? ”

Hearing Sophie say this, Cheng'er bit her lip, probably feeling that her mind couldn't get over. It's no wonder that Xiaocheng'er is a kind and soft-hearted child, and the eldest sister on one side and the second sister on the other are all his relatives, and he is embarrassed to help him.

Su Jinyao's heart softened a little when she heard Su Fei'er say this. It's not that she doesn't know how difficult it was for Sophie to support this family, and it is indeed not easy for a girl who should still be a child.

Su Jinyao took another breath, didn't care about being twisted by Su Fei'er, and said directly: "Eldest sister, I said that I will solve this matter of the third aunt's family, and I will not let you follow me to bear the debt." As I said, you don't need to take care of what I do in the future, so why do you have to go door-to-door to borrow money? ”

"One hundred wen, what can you think of? Or in three days! Are you going to kill us, or are you going to kill yourself? Sophie opened her mouth and shouted loudly, and halfway through the shouting, she saw Su Jinyao glaring at her coldly, her momentum was weak, and the rest of the words were whispered.

Xiao Cheng'er looked at Su Jinyao, then looked at the vegetables and sauces spilled on the ground, and said, "Eldest sister, I believe that the second sister has a way to make money." We should all believe her. No matter how bad it is, I caused this disaster, I can go to apologize, it's a big deal to rebuild the chicken coop for the third aunt's family. If it doesn't work, I'll go see the official. ”

Hearing Cheng'er say that she was an official, Su Fei'er got up from the ground, glared at Su Jinyao, and said, "Listen, my father is such a son as Cheng'er, this is the root of our Su family." Can you bear to let him go to the official? He's a little older. ”
