Chapter 42: Bun Daddy Doesn't Bun
"Since Qiqi doesn't have any opinions, then Dad Ming'er will go and reply and tell the people in Zhangjiaao that I will take this job."
When the man said this, a smile of great excitement appeared on his face.
Even he didn't realize that before asking his daughter's opinion, he was afraid, worried, and struggling to deal with this job.
But after the girl said yes, his fear and fear disappeared all of a sudden, and he had more hope for the future.
"Qiqi, if Dad earns this money, he will go to the town to buy you beautiful cloth and make a pair of beautiful cloth shoes for you, your mother, Hua'er and Duo'er."
Xia Duofu's face was a little red, and he was still a little shy when he talked about buying things for his family.
Xia Qiqi pursed his lips and smiled, and said in his heart: This dad is interesting! I know more and more about my daughter-in-law and children.
"Qiqi......" Xia Duofu looked at Xia Qiqi with a hesitant expression.
"Dad, you say, I listened!" Xia Qiqi's attitude is extremely kind.
"I'm ready to ...... Prepare the silver tael, buy the cloth, and leave the rest to you, and I won't give you milk! ”
After Xia Duofu finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Xia Qiqi anymore, as if he had done something wrong.
But he didn't know that what he said, in Xia Qiqi's opinion, was completely handsome and cool.
Da Baozi actually took the initiative to tell her that he would not give the money to Mrs. Xia and give it to her.
What could be more celebrated?
"Daddy? Are you upset? Think I'm sorry for my milk? Xia Qiqi asked.
Xia Duofu nodded heavily, and when he passed, whatever good things he had, they were all handed over directly to his mother.
daughter-in-law, but the children are less in charge.
But these days, after listening to the words of his daughter Qiqi, Xia Duofu is also constantly introspecting.
Isn't it too much?
In the end, Xia Duofu decided that he would give more care and love to his daughter-in-law, to his daughter-in-law, and to the unborn doll in his daughter-in-law's womb.
Whether that baby is a son or a daughter, it is the lifeblood of his Xia Duofu.
"Dad, this kind of thing, once born, twice mature! If you do more, it will be better in the future.
And my grandmother, there is indeed no shortage of your food, but our family itself, there is no this, there is no that, eating is a problem!
Let's live our little life first, don't starve to death, and we'll talk about other things later! Xia Qiqi said.
Xia Duofu listened to his daughter's words, felt reasonable, and finally showed a long-lost smile.
"By the way, Qiqi, if I go to Zhangjiaao tomorrow to talk about doing carpentry work! Pick up your sixth uncle's stubble, I'm afraid it's ......"
"I'll go!" Xia Qiqi took the initiative to take care of this matter, and then said: "It just so happens that I am going to the town to do business tomorrow, and when I sell those things, I will go to the dock to pick up my sixth uncle."
But I don't remember what my sixth uncle looks like, my father has to tell me what he looks like, so that Ming'er won't pick up the wrong person! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Your sixth uncle is very distinctive, he has a mole on the right side of his mouth, and he likes to wear gray clothes the most. And also...... And look like your grandfather! ”
Xia Duofu nodded excitedly, and briefly described Xia Duogui's appearance.
Xia Qiqi smiled, "I remember, I will definitely be able to bring my sixth uncle back!" ”
Xia Duofu was very happy, this time, not only could he take over the work of earning money, but he also did not delay picking up the sixth child, which was the best of both worlds.
"Dad, let's stop standing outside and talking, go into the house, I'll warm up some porridge for you!"
"Yes!"
——————
The third time he came to Ping'an Town, Xia Qiqi was already familiar with the road.
The foot journey is also a little faster than at the beginning.
It should be these days, I have been drinking meat porridge, I have been exposed to meat, I have oil and water in my stomach, and my strength has grown a lot.
Sure enough, when you are full, you have the strength to work, not blowing!
When Xia Qiqi arrived in the town, the sun had not yet risen, and it happened to be the time when the small vendors selling breakfast had set up their stalls.
The originally deserted town, the moment Xia Qiqi stepped in, it suddenly became lively.
The shouting sound came and went, Xia Qiqi stood at the gate of the town, and he could hear the shouting.
"Steamed buns, big and sweet meat buns, thin skin and many fillings!"
"Fritters, golden and crispy fritters, and hot soy milk!"
The whole Ping'an Town is the time to be lively.
Xia Qiqi brought a lot of things to sell today.
Apple candy gourds, purses, and four rabbits.
The three things have to be sold in different places, Xia Qiqi calculated in his heart, and decided to sell the rabbits first, and then find a better place in the market, selling sugar gourds and sachets on the other.
On the way to Babaolou, although Xia Qiqi had only been there once, he remembered it clearly.
When I arrived at the gate of Babaolou, I was lucky that the chef's apprentice, a black and thin man, happened to be at the door of the restaurant, talking to a man dragging a cart.
Xia Qiqi stood aside and didn't bother them.
When they finished speaking, she stopped the dark and thin man, "Little brother, do you remember me?" Last time, your master said that if I had wild animals, I could sell them here, and I had four hares in my hands, and I didn't know ...... you."
Before Xia Qiqi finished speaking, the man nodded, "Come in with me!" By the way, my name is Cao Wang, you can call me by my name directly in the future! ”
The smile on the man's face is shy, and it can be seen that he is a relatively shy person, and he is a good person and easy to talk!
followed Cao Wang into the restaurant and went straight to the back kitchen.
Because it was breakfast time, the back kitchen was a little busy, but the fat man I saw last time was resting on a recliner in the yard.
Cao Wang kindly explained, "My master doesn't make breakfast, he only cooks lunch and dinner!"
In the morning, he will sleep in the yard for a while, and whoever has something to do can wake him up, and he won't be angry! ”
After Cao Wang finished speaking, he walked up to the fat man, "Master, the little sister who sold wild boar trotters last time came over, and this time she brought four rabbits, do you want to take a look?" ”
The fat man slowly opened his eyes, he didn't rush to get up, but said slowly, "Take it!" ”
The tone is neither salty nor light, and I can't tell if I want it.
Xia Qiqi picked up one of the rabbits tied with straw rope in the bamboo basket and handed it to Cao Wang.
"Master, take a look!"
The fat man picked up the rabbit, weighed it, put it on his belly, and untied the straw rope.
A pair of hands, starting from the rabbit's face and working your way down until you touch the rabbit's feet.
"Yes, it's a hare, and the meat is fat! In this way, you give her twenty-five cents to see if she sells it or not! ”
"Howler!" Cao Wang nodded, he looked at Xia Qiqi, and just as he was about to ask, Xia Qiqi nodded.
"Yes, it's just my four rabbits, do you want them?"
