Chapter 5 Let's go buy beans
At around mid-afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and the temperature dropped a lot compared to noon, and the temperature outside was not so hot, and the flow of people on the streets increased again.
Ding Rou went out to take a look, and saw that Ding Page was busy in the stove room with Ding's mother, so she closed the door and lowered the latch inside, as if she was afraid that someone would enter the house. She walked to a large cabinet, looked behind her, and made sure that there was no one, so she untied the key from her waist and opened the lock of the large cabinet.
After digging around in the cabinet for a while, he took out a large dark brown purse. The purse looked heavy, and it was falling underneath.
Ding Rou sat on the bed, opened the purse half happily, poured all the copper plates inside on the bed, and counted them one by one. Just counting it, but sighing in his mouth.
There were a lot of copper plates, but not a penny of silver. A thousand wen is only one tael of silver, but I am afraid that she may not have one or two silver when her lotus bag is full.
She sat on the bed and sighed for a while, then got up and took out the makeup from the cabinet, put the makeup on her lap, opened it carefully, and looked at the box full of jewelry, Ding Rouyin's face finally became sunny after a day.
Fortunately, although the family's income is not good now, she still has so much jewelry in her makeup, even if it is used as a dowry, these are completely enough.
Carefully put away the makeup, put the purse in her arms, and Ding Rou opened the door again and went out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a figure standing outside the door, which startled her and made her fall back into the house. After retreating a few steps, I realized that it was Ding Page standing outside the door.
She frowned, and shouted angrily: "Sister, what are you doing?" It almost scared me to death. ”
Ding Page laughed and said, "Oh? Isn't it what you just did in the house that you couldn't see people? ”
Ding Rou was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily: "Sister, you are talking more and more unruly now, how can you talk about your sister like this." You wait, I'll tell my mother to go, and see if my mother can help you this time. ”
Ding Yezi stretched out his arms in front of the door, blocking Ding Rou's way out.
Ding Rou paused suddenly, looked at the dirty coarse cloth clothes on Ding Page's body in disgust, and then looked at the spotless pale pink muslin clothes on her body, a sense of pride arose, and she couldn't help but raise her chin slightly, and looked at Ding Pagezi as if she was surprised, "Sister, do you know that you are afraid?" ”
Ding Yezi came to find her something, so he didn't catch up with her thinking for a while, and he was stunned for a while before he knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "What am I afraid of?" I know who is right and who is wrong, and I haven't done anything unseemly, so what's there to be afraid of? ”
Ding Rou glared at her and sneered: "I don't know who has a reputation for infidelity outside!" Now I'm embarrassed to talk about others. ”
Ding Yezi raised his eyebrows indifferently, not wanting to discuss this kind of issue with her anymore, and directly stated his purpose for coming to her this time, "I'll go with you to buy beans later." ”
Ding Rou was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted: "No, I'll just go by myself, I don't need you to follow." ”
Ding Page turned around and left without looking back, only said: "I have already told my mother, I will go with you later, I will take the beans back, and it will save you money to send someone back." ”
Ding Rou didn't know the purpose of Ding Page and her past, it was clearly to supervise whether she had picked good beans to buy, not to save any money for the porter. The porter only has a few copper plates, and the difference between a load of good beans and bad beans is more than this.
Ding Rou hurriedly walked up to catch up with Ding Page, grabbed her arm, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, I don't need you to go over later, I'll go alone!" ”
Ding Page raised his eyebrows, "Why?" Give me a reason. ”
Ding Rou didn't react for a while, and replied with a stunned frown: "What, why?" What do you want and why? I always buy the beans at home, so why do I need them? ”
Ding Yezi nodded affirmatively, "If you don't want me to come with you, then give me a reason, otherwise with your lazy nature, you will definitely not pick any good beans to come back." I don't want to really wait until the poor family can't open the pot, and then come to you to ask, it's better to prepare in advance. ”
Ding Rou let go of the hand that grabbed Ding Page, frowned and asked, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”
Ding Yezi smiled slightly, and said very clearly: "You are a sister, you have been in charge of the family's belongings for two years, and it is time to hand them over, but you can't let all the good things fall into your pocket." Even if it's an equal share, it's going to be divided between me and my mother now. ”
Ding Rou subconsciously clutched the purse in her arms, and shouted: "No, don't even think about it!" ”
Ding Yezi couldn't help sneering, clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked like a bamboo in his chest, and said with a smile: "What is my sister doing, we are a family, are you only allowed to take money and not do things, and I and my mother will do things without money?" Even if you work for a rich and noble family for a long time, you still have a monthly pay, right? But if you look at our family, my mother and I get up early every day to grind tofu, but we never have a penny around us, and you don't do anything, but you have new clothes to wear every season, I'm afraid there is no such cheap reason in the world, right? ”
Ding Rou was younger, and she was used to being so arrogant by Ding's father and mother in the past, but now she suddenly saw Ding Page's words so fierce, and she was frightened for a while. But this matter is about her money, and she will never agree!
Ding Rou's eyes were rolling, and she was thinking about her thoughts.
She hid her makeup well, she was the only one who had the key, and there was no cash at home now, even if she didn't agree, she couldn't do anything with herself.
Thinking like this, Ding Rou's mind also settled down, and a smile resurfaced on her face, "I just don't give it, what can you do?" ”
Ding Page spread his hands, "No, you are my own sister, what can I do with you?" I'm not as selfish as some people. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind, no matter what. ”
Ding Rou pouted indifferently, just like her stupidity, she didn't expect her to help her in the future.
Ding Yezi didn't say much more, she went out to do something, but her eyes looked at the hall from time to time, and when Ding Rou went out, she followed. This time, she must go and pick the best beans herself!
Ding Rou was also looking out from the window in the house from time to time, and wanted to sneak out of the door quietly when Ding Page was not paying attention, but she didn't expect her to guard against her like a thief, and kept paying attention to her movements.
The two sisters were spending time here, Ding's mother couldn't stand it, seeing that it was almost dark, Ding Rou hadn't gone out to buy beans yet, so she raised her voice and called: "Rou'er, it's almost dark this day, why don't you go out to buy beans?" I won't be able to catch up if it's too late. ”
Ding Rou responded, but looking at Ding Page still staring at her, her heart was angry.
When did this sister become so shrewd, wasn't it good to be stupid before.
It wasn't until Ding's mother urged her for the third time that Ding Rou reluctantly went out of the room.
Ding's mother didn't know the reason, let alone what the two sisters had said before, so she joked to Ding Rou: "Rou'er, where did you sit in the room just now?" ”
Sitting in the room is something that only the newly married daughter-in-law does, which means that she does not move around freely within a month of marriage, but mostly sits in her own bedroom or does something else.
Ding Rou was ashamed, stomped her feet, and said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”
Ding's mother smiled, "Mother isn't talking to you about fun, this is seeing that the sky is dark, you hurry up to buy beans, don't buy those bad beans back, how can it not ruin the reputation of our family's ancestral craft." ”
Ding Rou replied with insufficient confidence: "Yes, my daughter knows." ”
Ding Yezi hurriedly patted the dust on his clothes, walked quickly behind Ding Rou, and said to Ding's mother with a smile: "Mother, now that it's dark, I don't worry about Rou'er going out alone, I'll go out with her." ”
Ding's mother thinks about it, this little daughter is really beautiful, and she can dress up herself, which will inevitably attract people's greed, so it's better to let the page follow her. Then he said: "It's okay, I can rest assured that you two sisters will go together, so as not to have anything happen on the way." ”
Ding Rou wanted to refuse, but when her mother said this, she couldn't help but think of what happened last time, if it weren't for Ding Page's blatant blocking in front of her, I am afraid that she would be the one who has a bad reputation now. Thinking of this, Ding Rou couldn't help but look at Ding Page half apologetically. It's also her fault that my sister is like this now. But as soon as she thought that Ding Yezi now wanted to compete with her for the financial power of the family, the only little bit of regret she had immediately disappeared, but she was annoyed.
She thought about it for a while, in order to prevent her from going with her today, it was delayed until dark, it was really not safe for her to go out alone, and it was safer to have Ding Page, a ready-made bodyguard, here. Tomorrow she will go and buy the beans back when she has the time to see what else she has to say.
Ding Rou comforted herself, and went out with Ding Page.
When the Ding family arrived at the Zhouji Grain Store, where the Ding family usually bought beans, the shopkeeper Zhou Boss saw the Ding Rou sisters coming, and greeted them very warmly, and greeted them with a smile: "Why did you come so late today?" I thought your family had changed masters, and I didn't want to buy beans at my house. ”
Ding Rouqiao smiled: "How can it be, I have always bought beans at Boss Zhou's house, and your beans are also the most affordable, how can I go to others to buy them?" ”
Boss Zhou looked Ding Rou up and down, and sighed in his heart, this little girl is not very old, but she is getting more and more smelly.
Ding Yezi was used to seeing this kind of man in his previous life, but he couldn't see a woman who was a little charming. If it is left on others, she can't wait to watch a good show, and she will contact the main room to come to the show, so that she can watch a live version of catching rape in bed.
It's just that today's object of lust Mimi was replaced by her sister-in-law, so she won't agree!
