"Okay, I don't have anything to do this year anyway, if you want to do it, we'll try it together." But let's make it clear first, we're going out after March of the New Year, and don't blame me if you're too busy in the later period. ”

Huang Dou felt that he was looking for something to do anyway, and it was okay to cooperate with his sister's family, and he would just leave it to Xiaohu to manage later.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go and see it in the next few days, buy a few slaves, the kind that is bought generally won't betray." Zhang Xiaohu is full of confidence.

For this kind of human trafficking, soybeans may not have been psychologically acceptable. But what Zhang Xiaohu said makes sense, this society is indeed like this, if you want to use people, what is better than your own private slaves!

"Then call me when you go to buy people, I'll take a look with Dashan, and I will have my own people when I go to sea in the future, and I'll buy a few to use first."

After thinking about it, Huang Dou said: "Buy a young one, even if it is a little smaller, such a person is easy to train, and his loyalty will be much higher." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the tooth shop to find someone to see, let them prepare, how many people do you need?" Zhang Xiaohu belongs to the action faction, and he stood up and prepared to go to the tooth shop to have a look.

"I have to discuss this with Dashan, you can do it, it is impossible to have it all, you have to choose. And the kind of dragging the family with a mouth is okay. Huang Dou saw that Zhang Xiaohu was anxious, and also stood up and prepared to go home.

"It's not good to drag the family, it's easy to have the old, weak, sick and disabled, isn't it good for us to buy the young and strong directly?" Zhang Xiaohu didn't think it was good to drag his family.

"If you think like this, if he has a family, he will have scruples, for example, if you buy a young man in his twenties, he will always get married in the future. You buy a couple in their twenties, maybe there are old people and children, the old people are not unable to do things, and the children grow up to be another wave of help. ”

Seeing that Huang Dou said the head of the way, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go back and ask Huang Tao to see her opinion, okay." ”

"Okay." Soybeans have no problem either.

The two of them talked while walking, and when they walked to the intersection and parted ways, Soybeans went home, and Zhang Xiaohu went to Yaxing.

The soybean who returned home did not enter his own house, but went to the yard of the yellow peach.

It was Qin's sister-in-law who came to open the door, and Huang Tao sat under the eaves and did needlework while basking in the sun.

Soybean got closer and saw clearly that it was a baby's belly pocket: "Sister, do you make clothes for my eldest nephew?" ”

"It's not." Seeing that it was soybeans, Huang Tao didn't get up, and pointed to the stool on the side for her to sit on: "This is made for Ping An, and when he comes to summer, he can wear it." ”

"In the future, Ping An will definitely like the second aunt more than the younger sister-in-law." Soybean pouted.

"Then I'll make one more piece, and you can give it to him later." Huang Tao knew that her sister didn't like to do needlework, and she used to be able to hide at home.

"No, no, no." Huang Dou hurriedly waved his hand: "What you do is what you do, so I don't cheat." I earn money, and in the future he asks for money to give money, and he just needs someone to give it to him. ”

"You. Just like to talk nonsense. Huang Tao glanced at her.

"Sister, you see that I've been in a panic these days, do you want to ask me for help?" Huang Dou dragged a stool and leaned towards Huang Tao.

"How can you help?" Huang Tao looked at the soybean strangely, this sister has always had more new tricks.

"Won't you decorate a baby room?" Soybean pouted and pointed at her stomach.

"What is the baby's room like?" Huang Tao has never seen it, so I'm a little curious.

"It is a room where the baby lives alone, with a bed, a slide, and a place to play, and the corners are all made round to prevent collisions. You do a good job, anyway, you will have a lot of children in the future, and when you are older, you will move out, and the room will be given to the smaller one. ”

Huang Tao didn't have much imagination about the room depicted by Soybean, but she was interested in rounded corners and collision resistance.

"If you're not afraid of trouble, you can try, we have the wing next door, and in the future, open a door from our room, and the wing room will be a baby room." Huang Tao pointed to the wing next to the east house.

"Yes, no problem, you find someone to empty the wing, and then prepare the money, and leave the rest to you." Huang Dou snapped her fingers, she wanted to make the best baby room for her eldest nephew.

"Do you want to go and make one for the third brother's house first, and I will come over in a few months." Huang Tao remembered his eldest nephew who had been born, and he should need it even more, and he would not do this until the end of the year.

"That's right, then decorate one for him for free, I'll go and ask now." As he spoke, Huang Dou stood up and prepared to leave.

"You wait for me, I'll go shopping too, my mother told me to go out for a walk more, saying that I would have a good life in the future." Huang Tao put down the half-made belly pocket and stood up: "By the way, you give it to your eldest nephew for free, and you have to charge for your eldest nephew?" What is the reasoning of this. ”

Soybeans seem to be slapping themselves in the mouth, seeing that you are sloppy, fortunately it is your own sister, so she hurriedly said righteously: "Of course, my eldest nephew is also free, I can favor one over the other." ”

"You can be poor." Huang Tao walked over and instructed Qin's sister-in-law a few words, and went out with Huang Dou.

It was close to dusk and the weather was not hot, so the sisters chatted and walked along the way, and came across the small bridge and stood on it to watch the boats in the river below.

Dongyang County has a lot of water, and two or three rivers in the city pass through the city.

"Sister, look over there, there are still flower sellers." Huang Dou was referring to a woman from a small boat, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a bamboo basket in the crook of her arm, and seven or eight lotus flowers were placed in the basket.

"How do you know that she sells flowers, maybe she picked them back and put them in a bottle." Huang Tao deliberately disagreed with her sister.

"It's not that there is a lotus root under a lotus, if it is their own lotus pond, they are reluctant to pick flowers if they don't sell it for money. If you don't believe me, I'll call her over and ask. Saying that, Huang Dou held the bridge railing with both hands, bent down and shouted to the woman who was walking up the river embankment under the bridge, "Do you sell your lotus flowers?" ”

Hearing the voice, the woman who lifted the bamboo basket in her hand looked up at the bridge, only to see two young women on the bridge, one wearing a pink summer shirt and the other wearing a light blue summer shirt.

This is the little daughter-in-law of the rich family, right?

"Selling, selling, two sisters, etc." As she spoke, the little girl carrying the lotus flower picked up her long skirt and walked up quickly.

"Look at it, it's all freshly picked, and it's not all blooming yet, so it's time to open it overnight when you put a bottle at home." The little girl selling flowers walked to the bridge and hurriedly lowered the basket so that the two customers in front of her could carefully choose it.

"Did you pick this flower and sell it, or did you go home and put it in a bottle yourself?" Soybean asked, holding up a half-opened lotus flower.

"My father was a fisherman, and there was a beach outside the city, so he planted lotus roots. Now that the lotus flowers have just begun to bloom, I picked a few and sold them. The flower seller replied eagerly, as if she was afraid that the answer would be slow, and the two patrons would leave.

"How much does it cost?" Huang Tao also picked two and held them in his hand.

"Ten big bucks a flower." The little girl blinked at the yellow peach.

"It's too expensive." Huang Tao said, it's really not cheap, ten big money can buy five baked cakes and four meat buns!

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, look at the two sisters are young grandmothers with rich faces, and there is a lotus root under this lotus. After autumn, a lotus root can be dug up and sold for a lot of money. As he spoke, he lifted the basket of flowers and showed it to the Yellow Peach Sisters.

"Two sisters, look at it, it's really the best flower you picked, and it's not damaged at all."

"I'll buy two." Huang Tao looked at the soybeans: "Sister, how many do you want?" ”

"Three." Saying that, Huang Dou took out his money bag and came out: "Fifty wen together, is it okay to have six?" ”

"This sister, I will have eight lotus flowers, or you will buy them all, count you as seventy-five yuan, okay." This little girl who sells flowers is also smart.

"Okay." Huang Dou took out the money from the money bag and prepared to count it for her: "If you can't sell it, won't you lose money." ”

"I picked less, now the lotus has just bloomed, it is still very rare, just go back to pick it after it is sold, anyway, the rowing back and forth is very fast."

"Do you have a lot of lotus flowers over there?" Soybean asked curiously.

"Many, but it's not a lot now, there will be more lotus flowers after July and a half, if the two sisters want to swim in the lake and enjoy the flowers, they can charter my boat." Fifty wen half a day. ”

"And how do I find you?" Soybeans are a little interested.

"Look." As she spoke, the flower girl pointed to a noodle stall under the bridge: "The proprietress and I know each other, and I pass by her house every day." Sisters, say to the proprietress that I'll come and wait for you when the time comes. ”

"Don't be so troublesome, tomorrow afternoon, take a nap, you can come and wait for us." What is your name? Huang Dou felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he would just go to the lake with his sister tomorrow.

"My name is Zhou Qiaolian, and the two sisters can call me Xiaolian." After speaking, Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, but still made up her mind and said: "It's not that it won't work tomorrow, but now the flowers are not blooming much, and they are not beautiful enough, so you can only look at the lotus leaves." ”

"It's okay, let's just go out and have a look, and I'll just look for you again when the lotus blooms in the future." Huang Dou felt that she had to be fun playing, maybe when the lotus flowers bloomed, she was afraid of the heat and didn't want to come out.

"Okay, then I'll wait here tomorrow for my sisters." Xiaolian smiled happily, her luck was really good today, she just picked flowers and sold them for 75 Wen, and she took a guest to visit the lake again tomorrow and added 50 Wen. When I go back, I can buy some good rice for my brother and boil rice soup to drink.

"Here you go." Huang Dou stretched out his hand and gave her a penny of silver: "You go to find a place to weigh it, and the more will be counted as tomorrow's deposit." ”

As he spoke, Huang Dou reached out and took out all the flowers in the basket, and held them in his arms with four yellow peaches.

"Thank you, two sisters." Xiaolian gratefully hurriedly bowed.

Huang Tao returned the salute, and the soybean only nodded and smiled, which was considered a return gift.

The sisters carried the lotus all the way to the ark cargo store.

People are delicate and beautiful, and they have gained countless eyes along the way, Huang Tao is shy and pink, but Huang Dou feels that there is nothing to do, just take care of himself while walking and watching.
