Back at home, Zhong Cuiling saw that Yao Hei'er's hand was injured, and immediately exclaimed.

Yao Hei'er said nonchalantly: "Silly girl, what is this?" I'm afraid that the difficulties in the future are beyond our imagination now! ”

Zhong Cuiling looked at Yao Hei'er in confusion, thinking that she was right. Although it is a little more difficult at the moment, there are still two hundred taels of silver at home, if the two hundred taels of silver are used up, there will really be no food and clothing.

In fact, at this time, the most important thing is to live.

It's finally time to open the market.

Two days in advance, Yao Heier discussed with Zhong Cuiling what to add. Although Yao Heier has been in the Du family and has been in charge of the family for a few years, she has lived in the mountains in the past few days and knows more than she has known in the Du family for a few years. The housekeeper is no longer giving orders from above, but he has to do everything himself.

When Yao Heier left the Du family, she didn't forget to pack up a few of her favorite books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she originally thought that when her daughters were older, she would teach them to read and write. At this time, these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones came in handy in advance, that is, to open a list of items to be purchased.

Zhong Cuiling dictated, Yao Hei'er recorded, what he remembered, he had to add it, and before he knew it, he opened a long list: rice, noodles, oil, salt, vegetables and vegetables, these are the most critical; Water scoops, buckets, rice urns, noodle urns, steamers, clay pots, bowls and chopsticks, rice spoons, teacups, teapots, teapots, these are also essential; Autumn is coming soon, and a few more futons need to be added......

Yao Hei'er thought about it, and added a few sets of coarse cloth clothes and an axe.

But how do you get so many things back? Yao Hei'er was worried again.

Zhong Cuiling said with a smile: "Sister, Tie Zhu said that his father also has to sell firewood every time he goes to the market, and he also has a car at home, so it is better to discuss it with Second Sister Zhang, let's bother Brother Shan and help us pull it back, isn't it okay?" ”

A young lady who has been taught since she was a child that she doesn't go out of the door, doesn't step out of the second door, and when she sees outsiders, she wants to go to the market with a man who has known him for a few days and hasn't even said a word? Did you buy something together and come back?

Yao Hei'er immediately had a voice in her heart: "What is this!" I want to live! ”

She smiled at Zhong Cuiling and said: "This is naturally good for us, but it's a little embarrassing to have a single family to help us." ”

Zhong Cuiling picked up the open list, gently blew the ink stains that had not dried on it, and said: "This is also no way, we have to thank others many times, but they refuse to accept it." This time, it's better to buy two sets of clothes for Tiezhu as a thank you. I saw that the child's clothes were really worn. ”

Yao Hei'er nodded.

The next day, Second Sister Zhang sent Wowo again, and Yao Heier told Second Sister Zhang what she meant, but she didn't mention buying clothes for Tiezhu.

Second Sister Zhang naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "What is this?" When I go home and talk to him, are you afraid that he will not follow? ”

Zhong Cuiling said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, according to me, if you have nothing to do at home, it is better to go with my sister, it is rare to go shopping." Bring the iron pillar, as well as the two children of our family, if the old lady is happy, you might as well go together, there are many people to be lively. ”

Yao Hei'er glanced at Zhong Cuiling gratefully, she knew that Cuiling made this suggestion because she was afraid that she would be a little embarrassed with Shan Hulu.

Second Sister Zhang thought about it, readily agreed, and said, "That's fine, I may not have been to the market for a long time." It's just that the kid of Tiezhu listened to it, and he couldn't be crazy with joy? I often make a fuss about going, but I refuse to agree. ”

The discussion was decided, and Qiong'er and Tie Zhu also came back with firewood. When Qiong'er heard this, it was nothing, only the iron pillar happily turned a few times on the ground, and everyone looked at it and laughed.

Qiong'er leaned beside Yao Hei'er, tilted her head and said, "Mother, let's go to the market tomorrow, who will pick up the firewood at home?" ”

Yao Hei'er felt sour in her heart, and said with a smile: "When we come back from the market, my mother will go to fight with you, the two of us, it will be much faster." ”

In late summer and early autumn, the weather is fine. The group walked one after the other along the rugged path leading to the market. The grass on the side of the road is dotted with colorful wildflowers, and a few white butterflies wander among the flowers. From time to time, one or two emerald blue praying mantis leaped out of the grass.

The single family's car is just a wood-wheeled flatbed car, which is all pulled by a single hoist. A cart full of firewood, the single gourd was effortless, far ahead of Yao Heier and Second Sister Zhang. Two small spaces were vacated on the board for Mrs. Shan and Pei'er to sit. Qiong'er and Tiezhu followed their respective mothers.

Yao Hei'er climbed the mountain for a few days in a row, and also exercised her physical strength, but she felt sorry for her daughter, she had never walked so far, and wanted to hug Qiong'er to go, but Qiong'er refused to live or die, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not tired!" ”

Tiezhu was used to running in the mountains, but at this time he was very happy, and he had more and more strength, and from time to time he ran to the front, said a few words to his father, and ran back, and said a few words to his mother and Qiong'er; After a while, I plucked a dandelion from the grass, and with a gentle blow, the white tidbits as white as filaments floated away; After a while, a few more cang's ears were plucked and quietly stuck to Qiong'er's hair.

Yao Hei'er said with a smile: "This kid, originally a distance of ten miles, he was only afraid that he would have to walk twenty miles." ”

Second Sister Zhang scolded her son at the same time: "Tiezhu, don't bully your sister!" While laughing dotingly: "Boys, it's just excess energy." ”

yes, boy! Yao Hei'er's heart sank. If I had a son, maybe things would have been better. Thinking of this, Yao Hei'er felt a trace of guilt in her heart, Qiong'er is already so sensible, is she still not satisfied?

When Shan Hulu was selling firewood and grass, Yao Heier and Second Sister Zhang were wandering around the market. First, I bought a few snacks for a few children. I bought myself and Cuiling, as well as a few children, and bought two sets of coarse cloth clothes. Second Sister Zhang smiled: "Sister, there are so many beautiful clothes in your house, either silk or satin, what are you buying these clothes for?" ”

Yao Hei'er said: "Sister-in-law, where can I work in those clothes?" Even if our family has settled down in our place, we can't say that we have to change our clothes to survive. As he spoke, he paid another amount of money and bought two sets of clothes for the iron pillar.

Second Sister Zhang hurriedly stopped: "Sister, this is really useless." ”

Yao Hei'er said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't want it, we won't get along in the future." These days, we all rely on your help to survive, but what is it to buy two sets of clothes for our children? ”

Second Sister Zhang, who is quick to talk on weekdays, rubbed her hands a little nervously at this time and said, "It's just a few black nests, but what is it worth?" You've just bought food for the children, which are worth a lot more than those nests, and you're sorry to buy clothes for me. ”

Yao Hei'er said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, what you gave us is not a nest, but a life-saving favor." It saved the lives of our mothers. ”

When the single gourd sold out of firewood, several people bought rice and flour utensils in the market, all loaded in the car, and were about to go back, Yao Hei'er suddenly saw a farmer selling a sturdy ox, so he didn't care, walked up, talked about the price, paid the silver, and greeted the single gourd: "Big brother, come and put it on the car, let's go to the market in the future, and save our energy." It can also be used to plough the land when the farm is busy. ”

Fortunately, the peasant should have all the bridle and other things. The gourd alone put the oxen on the cart, and on the way back, everyone took the ox cart back. It's not much faster, but it saves leg effort.

Back in the village, Yao Hei'er insisted on giving the cow to the Shan family, because she said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you see that there are only a few women in my family, and they don't know how to drive, what do you want this cow to do?" In the future, when I go to the market, I will have to take my eldest brother's car, and I will not sit in vain. ”

Shan Hulu and his wife listened to it, so they had to say: "Since you say so, sister, this cow will be temporarily placed in our house, but it is still your family's cow, when you will use it in the future, just take it." ”

With the help of Second Sister Zhang and Mrs. Shan, Yao Hei'er steamed a pot full of steamed buns at home and sent some to several families in the village.

Relying on black noodles and wild fruits, the Yao family, who had lasted for ten days, finally ate a decent meal.

When night fell, Second Sister Zhang and Mrs. Shan went home with the iron pillar. Yao Hei'er and Cuiling sat in the middle of the courtyard, holding a few children, looking up at the starry sky, and didn't speak for a long time.

They all know that from now on, they are going to really start a completely different life from the past.
