The remains of firecrackers that have not been swept up on the streets, the red lanterns hanging at the gates of the houses on the streets, and the pedestrians on the street carrying large bags and small bags to relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings.

It makes Shenmu Town full of New Year's atmosphere.

After calming Luo Jiabao's emotions, Xiao A saw that there was nothing wrong, so he said hello to his father and wanted to go to the martial arts family to pay a New Year's greeting.

After all, her grandfather and aunt are very good to her, and since she came to the town and didn't go to pay a New Year's greeting, it would be rude.

Luo Dahai naturally did not object, and took out 50 yuan from his pocket and asked Xiao A to buy some gifts to take with him.

When you go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, it's always hard to be empty-handed.

said goodbye to his father, and Xiao A walked out of the hospital. Turn left out of the gate and walk a little further to a state-run store.

Xiao A wondered if he was lucky enough to buy a little fresh fruit for his grandparents to bring.

As a result, before she could walk to the store, she was attracted by a sweet smell.

This smell is too tempting in the cold winter, and Xiao A couldn't help but follow this smell and walked over.

The sweet smell came from a small alley, and Xiao A walked in only to find that it was a person dressed as an old farmer, stealing and selling things in the alley.

It is about in Shenmu Town, and if you set up a stall on the street, you have to pay a certain amount of management fees.

The old farmer looked like he was trying to escape the management fee, so he hid in this alley and sold things.

But he's quite good at picking places, and he chooses next to the state-run store.

During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people who go to the store to buy things, and it is easy to find a small stall in the alley.

When Xiao A walked in, an aunt had just bought a bunch of things and left, and she walked a little fast, so Xiao A didn't smell anything.

But that's not the point, Xiao A is here for the sweet taste.

"Uncle, do you have wine for sale?"

Luo stubbornly walked over and took a look at what the uncle had placed on the ground. There was no trace of sake, but what she smelled was the smell of sake.

The uncle was putting it away, and he was messing up the dried mushrooms, and when he heard Xiao A ask, he looked up at her in surprise.

"How do you know there's wine?"

I obviously didn't put it out and put it in the basket, how did this little girl know?

Xiao A didn't explain, but just smiled and asked, "So is there any?" ”

"Yes." Uncle is also a guy who cherishes words like gold, and seeing that Xiao A doesn't answer his questions, he answers the questions very concisely.

If you change to someone else, you can't ask, do you buy it? As a result, the uncle was stunned and didn't ask.

"To sell or not to sell? How to sell? ”

Luo asked with a stubborn smile.

The Han people in the north do not have the habit of drinking wine, but the Xian people in the north are very good at making wine.

However, there are no Xian settlements around Shenmu Town, so sake brewing is not common.

Xiao A is very happy to meet someone who sells wine here, and is worried about what kind of New Year's gift to give to grandpa, wouldn't it be good to buy some wine?

And Xiao A's nose is smart, this tempting sweet smell tells Luo that the quality of the wine in the hands of this old farmer is very good.

Buy it as a gift and give it to grandparents, and they will be happy.

Moreover, my grandfather came from the south. Southerners are particularly fond of eating wine-stuffed balls, and they probably will.

"Sell, but only one can, if you want to buy it, you can buy it all. Five dollars does not make a counteroffer. ”

The old farmer didn't know what he had in mind, and he gritted his teeth when he made the offer, as if he had made up his mind.

Sensing this, Xiao A was a little strange, so he asked more.

"Uncle, do you really want to sell wine? I haven't put it out, so don't you plan to sell it? What else can it be used for? ”

The uncle shook his head and took the jar out of the basket.

Xiao A is optimistic about a big can, five yuan is a bit cheap.

"Uncle, do you think this will work? I'll give you ten dollars, and you can give it to me. Such a large jar is too heavy for me to carry. ”

After a little thought, Xiao A understood that this uncle must have come out to sell things secretly because he was short of money, and he hid in Tibet for the stall fee of one dollar.

And this can of wine was not intended to be sold, but when she asked, the uncle opened a price that he thought was relatively high.

Xiao A thinks that this uncle is a sincere person, since people are in trouble, why not help?

But the uncle has already offered a price of five yuan, if she insists on giving ten yuan, wouldn't it be too deliberate?

So Xiao A thought of an excuse for door-to-door delivery, gave an extra five yuan, and asked the uncle to help deliver the goods.

"It doesn't take that much, you just add another dollar."

This uncle is really a sincere person among honest people.

"Uncle, don't fight with me, the road is still quite far, and I will trouble you to toss it and delay your business."

The more honest the uncle is, the more Xiao A doesn't want the uncle to suffer. A person with such a personality reminds her of her father Lao Luo.

After discussing with the uncle and asking him to wait, Xiao A quickly ran into the store and bought a bag of oranges that had just arrived, two boxes of snacks, and two bottles of Huadiao wine.

Because she has a cheating weapon, she picks food very quickly.

Luo stubbornly carried the gifts he bought and ran out to find the uncle in the alley.

The uncle was still waiting for her.

After saying hello, Luo stubbornly led the uncle to the martial arts house together.

Maybe because Luo is a girl, and she is secretly friendly, the uncle understands it, so the two of them chatted a few words along the way.

From the small talk, Luo learned that the uncle's family originally chartered mountain fruit trees to raise free-range chickens or something.

But last year, a pest and disease caused his orchard to suffer huge losses, which amounted to no income. The house leaked and rained overnight, and the chickens collectively got chicken plague, and they lost all their money.

It's the New Year, and other people's families are laughing, but the uncle's family is really sad.

Originally, this jar of wine was brought by him to the town to see the eldest daughter.

As a result, they didn't even let him in the door, for fear that he would come to borrow money.

No wonder when Luo stubbornly first saw this uncle, his face was depressed, and he was rejected by his daughter, can that blow be too big?

The uncle also said that if he wasn't forced to do so, where would he be cheeky enough to borrow money from his daughter's family? It was really his little girl who was very sick, and he had no money to see a doctor, so he had to go to his eldest daughter's house for activities.

didn't think that the eldest daughter was so ruthless, she didn't save her when she died, and she turned her father away.

Speaking of this, the uncle sighed and said: "My eldest girl gave birth to me like a jewel, but I didn't want to spoil her, she only has herself in her heart, and she has bullied her younger brothers and sisters since she was a child, biting her to death." ”

"Uncle, don't be too anxious, I see that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. You see, this is the place, you can leave your things here. ”

Luo stubbornly knew that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and she didn't know how to persuade people, so she could only comfort her dryly.

Although she doesn't know how to persuade people, she will be practical.

She took out less than twenty yuan left from her pocket and stuffed it into her uncle.

"Uncle, you don't have a lot of money, you take it, don't give it back to me, I'm for your little sister."

Luo Yan was afraid that the uncle would not accept it, so he made a stop movement with both hands, and tried his best to persuade him.
