Chapter 20: Thanks
Who would have thought that this fat girl, who looks a little hurtful to her eyes, is smart, not only smart, but also calm.
In a few words, he praised himself and held the jade mushroom.
I'm embarrassed to keep the price too low.
Unexpectedly, in the mountains and countryside, there are such knowledgeable women, which is a bit interesting.
So he didn't talk nonsense, and nodded: "What this girl said is that everyone's luck is good." In this way, for the sake of Song Orion's face, five taels of silver, does the girl think it is appropriate? β
Xiaotong blinked her eyes and didn't speak for a while, she was not very familiar with the current prices, and she was calculating in her heart how much this tael of silver was worth.
saw An Huahao nodding quietly, which meant that she agreed.
Thinking that An Huahao spoke for her without a trace, there should be no malice, Xiaotong looked at Mrs. Li again, and at the moment she was overly surprised and still in a daze, knowing that this price may have exceeded Mrs. Li's psychological expectations a lot.
Therefore, it is no longer difficult to bother converting this value for yourself, and nodded happily: "The price of Shopkeeper Zheng is very suitable, thank you!" β
Shopkeeper Zheng took the jade mushroom under the counter, took out a silver ingot of five taels, and handed it to Xiaotong.
Xiaotong didn't answer, and asked embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Zheng, can you exchange it for broken silver for us and some copper coins?" β
Xiaotong has her own plans, she and Mrs. Li are not from the town after all, they are mentally handicapped women, and their wealth is not exposed, in case they need to use money, take out this silver ingot, and it will not be good to be looked at by people.
If you exchange it directly for broken silver and copper coins, it will not be eye-catching.
Shopkeeper Zheng naturally had no opinion, exchanged two or three pieces of broken silver for three or four taels, and exchanged a string of money and handed it to Xiaotong.
Xiaotong took it, and remembered the voice of the system in his ears: "Sell the collected jade mushrooms for a good price The task is completed, and 1 point will be rewarded, please check it by the host." β
Xiaotong naturally couldn't check it, and the quantity system didn't dare to ignore his own points, so he just didn't hear it.
only glanced at the silver and money in his hand, and put it into Mrs. Li's hand.
Mrs. Li came back to her senses at this time, grabbed the broken silver, and was not at ease, so she put it to her mouth and bit it with her teeth, and then put it in her pocket with a smile.
The rest of the money was put at the bottom of the basket and covered with thin leaves.
Xiaotong was a little embarrassed: "Don't misunderstand Shopkeeper Zheng, we countrymen have never seen so much money, but let Shopkeeper Zheng laugh at it"
Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "The girl is polite, I have recently purchased a large number of these rare foods and medicinal materials here, and if there are still these rare foods in the future, even if they are sent to me, Tong Su will not be deceived and will keep them at a satisfactory price for the girl." β
Xiaotong remembered his family's jade mushroom farming business, as well as the birthday banquet and other words he had just heard, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "This is natural, if we have good things, when is it more appropriate to send them over?" β
Shopkeeper Zheng waved his hand: "Don't worry about this, if there is such a good thing before the end of next month, the price is easy to say." β
Xiaotong knew in her heart, thanked the shopkeeper Zheng, and saluted An Huahao, who had been silent on the side: "Thank you!" β
An Huahao's face stiffened, and he didn't speak, just nodded with a cold face, pulled his feet and left.
Xiaotong didn't care, knowing that An Huahao was cold-faced and hot-hearted, she grabbed Mrs. Li, who was still happy, and said goodbye to the shopkeeper Zheng before leaving the restaurant.
As soon as she got out of the restaurant, Mrs. Li couldn't help but ask, "Xiaotong, how did you know that you were going to sell this mushroom to the restaurant?" And what are the little Wang Eight Lambs of the An family doing here? Did you ever bully you? β
Xiaotong patiently explained, so that Mrs. Li reluctantly believed that An Huahao's bastard stinky boy really helped a lot today, otherwise, it would be difficult for this jade mushroom to sell, let alone sell it so expensive.
I talked about it for a long time. Mrs. Li said unwillingly: "Even if An Huahao's stinky boy knows each other, he knows that he owes our Mei family and you, and it's not too unconscionable!" Hum! Xiaotong, don't be fascinated by his little favor, you know, he quit his family, but it ruined your reputation, so you want to end it with this little thing? Be a fucking big dream of autumn! This is what he owes you, and you can bear it with peace of mind! Don't be soft-heartedβ"
This is for fear that An Huahao will show a little good color, and his old girl will be fascinated again, and she will be pestering others to live and die.
Xiaotong couldn't cry or laugh, in order to appease Mrs. Li's heart, Mrs. Li agreed to say a word.
There's really no way, "Mother, we sold it for money today, didn't we say that we want to cut the meat, let's go quickly, but don't buy all the meat." β
A sentence reminded Mrs. Li that meat matters! No longer verbose, he hurried towards the butcher's stall.
Mrs. Li and Xiaotong came neither early nor late, and there was no good fat meat, only fat and thin pork belly, lean meat and some pork bones, and something in the water.
Mrs. Li felt a pity in her heart, so she barely picked the fattest piece in a pile of meat and let the butcher cut two catties.
Turning her head to see the old girl frowning, thinking that she sold so much silver today, it was all due to Xiaotong, but even if she wanted to eat some big fat meat, she didn't buy it herself, how could she be worthy of her daughter!
gritted his teeth again, added two pennies, bought a big bone, and thought about going back to cook some soup for Xiaotong, which was considered a meat dish anyway, and replenished her body, it seems that she has lost weight in the past few days.
If Xiaotong knew that Mrs. Li was thinking about how to fatten her again, she was afraid that she would turn her face.
At this moment, she was looking at the meat in Mrs. Li's hand, and then remembered that at this time, there was a general shortage of oil and water in the countryside and mountains, and whoever bought pork was to pick up the fattest one.
The oil residue refined is also a good thing, and it is also a rare good dish in the countryside.
It is conceivable that Mei Xiaotong's body can grow like this, and this big fat pork is indispensable.
What a sad story!
Mrs. Li paid neatly, carried pork, and went to the grocery store next to her to buy salt, and added some soy sauce and vinegar, which was already considered a squander.
Nowadays, no one in the mountains has spare money to buy these condiments, and most of the dishes are boiled, just cook, and put some salt to taste.
Mrs. Li is so reluctant, firstly, she has a full five taels of snowflake silver in her pocket today, and she has confidence, and secondly, she feels sorry for her old daughter, so she loves to eat something delicious.
After buying these, Mrs. Li also wanted to buy a nodding rope for Xiaotong, a head flower or something, but Xiaotong was stopped alive or dead.
Today, she can only be described in one sentence with these: ugly people make a lot of mistakes!
Why force yourself and waste money.
I was afraid that Mrs. Li would suspect that her personality had changed drastically, so I had to try to find an excuse: "Mother, what good-looking hair flowers can there be in this town?" Where is it worthy of me? I heard that the hairpins made of silver in the county town are now fashionable, and they are beautifully made. Mother, you give me some pocket money, I save it, and I will buy a silver hairpin to wear in the future! β
Mrs. Li, who was still a little suspicious, immediately relieved her heart, and was worried that her daughter would be hit by the matter of settling down and quitting her family, but she didn't expect that this old girl's heart was high, and after she quit, she put her eyes on the county seat.
Mrs. Li pondered, this is a good idea, everyone in the village knows about the resignation, and it will be difficult for Xiaotong to marry nearby, and she is reluctant to marry her old daughter to a clay leg in the countryside.
The town is too close, and the rumors are easy to pass on, and it is not suitable, but it is far away to marry to the county seat, and it does not hinder the reputation, and it is impossible to marry a big family.
is worthy of being his old daughter, this mind is fast!
Mrs. Li suddenly felt bright, in a good mood, thought about it, dragged Xiaotong to a remote place where no one was, gritted her teeth, and left only a dozen or so coins for buying meat and salt, and the remaining copper coins for seasonings, and the rest, estimated to be hundreds of texts, and stuffed them all to Xiaotong: "Take it, this is given to you privately by your mother, don't let people know, don't spend it, if you want to buy something one day, what you want to eat, just buy it yourself, don't be coaxed to throw it away by someone with three or two good words, do you know?" β
Xiaotong held this copper coin, feeling heavy, weighing a thousand catties, and his eyes were very sour.
From the time she crossed over to Mei Xiaotong, what she felt was Mrs. Li's full preference, no matter how Mrs. Li treated other people badly, to Mei Xiaotong, no one could say a word.
Today, this jade mushroom was sold for money, and Mrs. Li was afraid that her daughter would be wronged, so she secretly gave her daughter so much private money as soon as possible, and every sentence was for the sake of her daughter, which was really pitiful for the parents of the world.
It was not until this moment that Xiaotong really accepted the fact that she became Mei Xiaotong, and she really accepted Mrs. Li as her dearest person.
From now on, she is not Xiaotong in modern society, but Yongzhu, the old daughter of the Mei family in this backward era!
Mei Xiaotong blinked the moisture in her eyes: "Mother, you don't need so much, you can save this money for me, just give me a dozen or so big money." β
As he spoke, he counted out a dozen or so coins, and stuffed the remaining copper coins back to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li only thinks that her daughter is really filial, and she trusts and relies on her mother, although she wants ten or eight big money to buy some snacks or something to eat on weekdays, it is a little girl, such as the age of flowers, shouldn't she spend money.
really encountered such a large amount of money, but he didn't have shallow eyelids, and he still trusted himself as a mother, and only his daughter was so honest.
In other words, a few sons who collect debts, I am afraid that they are either themselves or instigated by their daughter-in-law, thinking about how to turn all this money into their own hands.
Thinking about it this way, the heart that couldn't be biased anymore became more and more unable to go back.
Lovingly touched Mei Xiaotong's hair: "Silly girl, no wonder I see that since you quit your family, you are very different from before, did you listen to whose gossip?" Poor my Xiaotong, now you are still in charge of your mother's house, you are afraid of such a look, you can relax, as long as your mother and son live for a day, this Mei family will not be able to turn the sky upside down! You just have to be the same as before, my mother can still protect you! β
Mei Xiaotong's heart was sour, and she only relied on Mrs. Li to whisper: "Mother, my daughter used to be ignorant, relying on my mother to hurt me, I didn't know how thick the sky was, and I hurt my mother's heart for outsiders." After falling into the water and retiring from her relatives this time, her daughter also figured it out, there is no need to die or live for outsiders, it will make people laugh in vain, and she will lose the face of the Mei family! My mother hurts me so much, and I still make my mother's face dull, and I also lose my mother not to care about me. Mother rest assured, in the future, I will try to slowly change these problems, and in the future, one day, I will also let my mother live a good life! β
Mrs. Li also rarely had red circles in her eyes, wiped her eyes with her hand randomly, and slapped Mei Xiaotong: "Good and dignified, what are you doing with this?" You are the meat that fell from your mother's body, who do you hurt if your mother doesn't hurt? Don't listen to outsiders' mouths, my mother's Xiaotong is good everywhere, filial and sensible, the kid in the An family is blind when he quits his family, others say that you are not good, that is jealous of you, what do you do with that foolish thing? Don't worry, there is a mother, where can you be so careless! Who in the Mei family dares to say that you don't say a word, see if the old lady doesn't tear his mouth! β
