Liu Housheng turned around and said goodbye to the old man, but Pu Cao squatted down, picked two medium-sized clay pots, ten clay bowls, and six clay plates in one go.

There was a young student squatting next to him who sold rattan baskets, and when he saw the appearance of such a big purchase of Pucao, he smiled and solicited business, "My sister-in-law has bought so much, but it's not good to take it back, it's better to buy another rattan basket on her back." ”

Pu Cao thought about it, they were all household items, and they couldn't be idle when they bought them, so they bought one according to their words, and the rest of the people saw that the business here was easy to do, so they hurriedly came forward and persuaded them.

Pu Cao tightened her money bag, for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos and take the sheep by the hand, and she refused to spend half a penny on life or death.

Liu Housheng quickly put the pottery bowl and other things into the rattan basket, opened the way first, and "killed" it with the grass, and the two of them ran a long way in one breath It was funny.

It just so happened that there was a grocery store next to it, people came and went very lively, it was obvious that it was a fair business, Pucao's eyes lit up, and he went in to buy two catties of coarse salt and a catty of lamp oil, and after coming out, he went directly to the butcher shop next door, bought two catties of pork belly, and asked for three big bone sticks to make a head.

Liu Housheng saw that there were more and more objects in the rattan basket, and he was very distressed that the copper money was spent, so he couldn't help but persuade, "Pucao girl, let's wait to clean up the house, see what is missing, and then go into the city to make up for it." ”

Pu Cao checked the money string in his hand, and after spending it for a while, only a few copper coins were left jingling, and he was also a little blushing.

In her previous life, although she was a cultural teacher in an agricultural school, her monthly income was not much, but her consumption in their small county town was not high, and her small life was very comfortable with eating and drinking, but she didn't expect this sudden car accident, she turned into a pampas grass, and instantly fell from the clouds into a mud pit, not to mention eating something good, and her stomach could fill her stomach and snickered.

Now that she has some money in her hand, she really can't stop using this flower.

"What Brother Liu said is that the household products that should be bought are almost done, let's hurry up and find Brother Dong."

Liu Housheng was very happy to see that Pu Cao listened to the persuasion, carried the rattan basket, shook off the big stride and walked forward, but after walking for a long time, he suddenly felt that there were no footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, Pu Cao was holding three oil paper bags panting and catching up, and the copper coin that was originally in his hand was naturally gone, and he only felt that his head was full of black lines and sighed...

Pu Cao looked embarrassed, hurriedly opened the oil paper bag and said with a smile, "It's noon, I bought a few steamed buns to pad my stomach on the way, Brother Liu, you are your own family, so you don't have to be polite, Brother Dong is not slow to help us." ”

Liu Housheng thought about it, so he didn't say anything, the two of them quickly returned to the alley one after the other, Dong Sizheng was bored lying on the car board looking at the sky, and when he saw them coming back, he jumped down, and immediately untied the reins and drove out of the city smoothly.

On the way, Pu Cao gave Dong Si an oiled paper bag, and Dong Si saw that there were two big white steamed buns inside, and his eyes were squinted in one place, and he thanked him repeatedly.

Pu Cao divided Liu Housheng again, and then wanted to quickly send his share into his stomach, and went out as soon as the sky was clear in the morning, pretending to be stupid and pitiful, fighting wits and courage, which really consumed her heart, she was so hungry that her chest was close to her back.

It's a pity that Liu Housheng and Dong Si both stuffed the oiled paper bag into their arms quickly, and they didn't mean to eat a bite at all, only she couldn't bite down on the steamed bun alone, so she had to sigh and wrap it into her arms, and finally lay on her back on the car board, silently listening to her poor stomach singing a symphony...

Finally arrived at the entrance of the village, Dong Si said hello, and the two of them said goodbye and went home.

Chunni took the three children of the Zhang family, boiled some rice porridge at noon, and then stood at the intersection of the road and looked around, and finally saw her man driving the ox cart back, overjoyed, and trotted to meet it.

Pucao jumped down and pulled her and laughed, "Nizi, I redeemed the house, I don't have to live in a shack anymore, we're going to be neighbors..."

When Peach Blossom and Shanzi heard that they finally had a house to live in, they also jumped and laughed, and slapped their hands happily, although Zhang Gui'er not far away twisted his head and pretended not to care, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth also curled.

Chunni also smiled, and said busily, "That's great, I'll give you hot porridge to drink, and then move the salute over." ”

Liu Housheng took out the oiled paper bag from his arms, handed it to his daughter-in-law, and said, "This is the Pucao girl who bought it for you to eat." ”

Chunni's face turned red when she took it and saw it, she glared at him distressedly, and said angrily, "You can eat what you bought for you, what do you think about me, I'm not hungry at home." ”

Liu Housheng smiled and didn't say much, the little couple found a tree root to sit on, and they gathered together to eat steamed buns, the autumn wind blew past them, and the sweet breath brought by them was so envious that Pucao sighed, and opened the oil paper bag in his hand, four steamed buns, one for each person in the whole family, and swallowed his stomach in the good mood of having a house to live in.

Soon after the steamed buns were eaten, everyone threw the three hundred catties of bud grain sticks left behind into the car, and collected all the quilts, cloth bags, and linoleum, and went back to the village happily.

In the old mansion of the Zhang family, the crows on the roof saw that the large group of people had been killed, and they were so frightened that they quacked and flew to the poplar trees on the side, tilting their heads angrily and glaring at these invaders who broke into their territory.

Pucao mischievously gestured at them to shoot, then pushed open the two courtyard doors, raised his head and walked in.

I have to say that the idle Zhang Fu, although he is a bastard and has a good face, but thanks to his temper, after making that windfall, he immediately repaired his yard, and now there are five main rooms, three left and right wings, all of which are bluestone surrounded by a three-foot high foundation, and the gray tiles cover the roof, which is very neat. It's definitely a good house in the village, and you don't have to bother repairing it for at least five or six years.

Chunni looked at the big courtyard, and then looked at the small broken grass house in the east courtyard next door that was about to become the new home of their husband and wife, and couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder when my house will be able to be covered with such grandeur?" ”

Pu Cao smiled and pulled her, and said loudly, "This time next year, it will definitely be covered!" ”

Chunni just said casually, and when she saw her answer like this, she laughed, and turned her head to help unload the bud valley and salute.

Their toss alarmed the Chen family in the West Courtyard, the Chen family is a big family, the old couple with two sons and daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and a little granddaughter live in one place, the family is very united, and the life is also very lively.

In the past, when Zhang Fu's mother and son were still alive, the two families often quarreled but did not tear their faces, at this time, I heard movement in the courtyard of the Zhang family, and it was about to get dark outside, so Uncle Chen brought his two sons over to visit.

As a result, when I saw a few members of the Zhang family, I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why did you come back?" But the government closed the case and returned the house? ”

Pu Cao stepped forward and saluted, shook his head and smiled, "No, there is no time to wait for the government to give an explanation, and seeing that winter is coming, I will sell all the buds and redeem this house and come back, and I will survive the winter first." ”

Uncle Chen nodded, "This thing is done right, the snow is covering the mountains, and there is no warm house to suffer." The old man thought that he was a man, and it was not good to say anything more to Pucao, so after a brief question, he hurriedly greeted his two sons, one went back to report to the women of the family, and the other stayed to help carry the luggage.

Soon, Aunt Chen brought her daughter-in-law over, although she still shrunk her shoulders and looked around, as if she was afraid that a ghost would run out, but her subordinates were not slow, and helped Pucao spread some hay on the kang in the west house of the main house, planning to deal with it overnight and pick it up slowly tomorrow.

After being busy for such a while, the sun that was still hanging on the top of the West Mountain completely fell, the evening breeze blew, and the whimpering sound sounded in the courtyard of the Zhang family as before, and everyone in the Chen family immediately changed their faces, and quickly said two words and went home.

Chunni hid behind the door and snickered, and when she saw that the yard was quiet, she pulled the grass and said, "Hurry up and take down the thing you tinkered with, although I know it's fake, but this voice sounds really cautious." ”

Peach Blossom and Shanzi's little hands tightly grabbed Pu Cao's clothes, hearing this, their big eyes were full of doubt, Pu Cao comforted them a few words and walked to the back window, took down a few wooden blocks piled up in the corner of the window, the whimpering sound in the room, actually miraculously disappeared immediately, everyone listened to it for a long time with their ears relieved, laughed.

Liu Housheng was rarely curious, asked for the wooden block, and looked at it over and over for a long time, but he didn't see any mechanism, Pu Cao was worried that if it was explained, it would definitely involve a lot, so he hurriedly ran to the wing room to hide, Zhang Luo helped Zhang Guier lay the kang, but Zhang Guier had a black face and kicked her out for not following the rules.

Fortunately, Chunni and his wife didn't ask any more questions, helped Pucao fetch two buckets of water, washed down the stolen goods such as pheasant entrails and blood stains on the roof tiles, and then said goodbye and went home.

The crows, who were originally squatting on the branches of the trees and preparing to sleep, saw that their favorite food was washed away, and angrily threw down countless feces and shells in retaliation, but they could not change the fact that they were about to go hungry tomorrow, so they had to spread their wings and fly away in hatred.

Pu Cao laughed and waved at their backs, "Thank you for your help, don't send it slowly!" ”

Shanzi and Peach Blossom stood beside her and giggled, and waved their little hands in her same way, which was very cute, and provoked Pucao to kiss them on their little faces one by one, and then led them into the house to sleep.

Finally sleeping on the earthen kang, there is a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, don't have to worry about collapsing at any time, one big and two small are very excited, twitter and cooed for a long time, stay really unbearable sleepy, this is finally a peaceful sleep.

In this world, for wandering people, what is more reassuring and joyful than home...
