Chapter 233: Stone's Gift
Do as I say, the grain store must not be closed, otherwise it will cause a lot of panic. The big girl's worry, Du Mei didn't know, but she didn't hesitate, but said more and more firmly.
Listening to her words, the whole grain shop fell silent, Niu Er got up from the stool, didn't look at Du Mei, and went out with his hands behind his back.
The eldest girl and the others couldn't resist Du Mei, but some people gave Du Mei a headache.
Shi took advantage of Du Mei's conversation in the grain shop, ran back to Yunshang Embroidery Village, and told Ye Dan's words to Aunt Shi, who hurriedly helped pack a few clothes, and Shi wrapped the bedding.
Du Mei went back to Dujiagou and wanted the stone to go back to the town. But no matter what she said, there was only one sentence, and the shopkeeper Ye asked him to come.
The skin of the mouth was dry, the stone was still not moving, Du Mei felt a pale sense of powerlessness in his heart, and seeing that the night was coming up, Du Mei put down the last sentence and turned around angrily and went home.
"Sister, Brother Shi is still standing outside." Du Gui sneaked around and went to take a look, and came back to tell Du Mei in the kitchen.
"The guy who doesn't get oil and salt in, he will go back when he gets tired of standing." Du Mei muttered, she was wiping the table, ready for dinner.
"But what if he doesn't leave." Du Gui stared at the eldest sister with black black eyes.
"Then let him stand all night." Du Mei said angrily.
"Girl's family, what are you talking about?" Xu Shi came in with Chai He and said angrily.
"You can't really live in, can you?" Du Mei frowned and looked at Xu.
"He's just a buddy, what did the shopkeeper ask him to do, didn't he do anything yet, you should have returned to the shopkeeper Ye earlier, why bother him." Xu stacked the firewood in the stove and patted the dust on his clothes.
"I can't go back." Du Mei only felt a headache, Ye Dan arranged people out of business considerations, but Na Cheng thought that the stone was a master who recognized death, and he was not accommodating at all.
"Otherwise, let's let him in later, our black girl is not easy to mess with, ordinary people can't get close at all, and it's not too late to let him go." Du Gui said with a smile that she was a child, just for fun.
"What a bad idea you girl." Xu smiled and poked her forehead.
"That's a good idea." Du Ying and Du Tao looked at each other and nodded.
Today's black girl has long grown into a half-human-tall adult dog, in addition to the Du family sisters and Du Shu in Dujiagou, the villagers have avoided it when they see it, if someone comes to the door, they have to be watched by the Du family, and others dare to come in. What's more, the children of every family in the village are crying endlessly, and the adults are scaring them with black girls.
Now, the black girl has never seen a stone, and she will definitely recognize her life, and she will never let him stay at home, and then the stone will naturally have to go back to Yunshang Embroidery Village.
Seeing that Du Mei was silent, Du Gui trotted to open the courtyard door and said sweetly to the stone, "Brother Shi, you come in for dinner." ”
Stone knew her little eye, answered in a low voice, and led the carriage in.
The black girl had been lying peacefully under the porch, but when she saw two big horses snorting into her territory, she immediately jumped up and barked angrily.
The two horses were shocked by the roar that tore through the sky, and they did not dare to step forward. The three little ones crowded by the door and peeked, laughing secretly.
The stone dropped the reins and walked straight to the angry black girl, Du Mei was startled when he saw that he did not retreat but advanced, you must know that the black girl has always been shooting Wushan to prey, and it can bite off the neck of the hare.
"Don't go near it!" Du Mei rushed out with a brisk step, if she didn't stop it, she was afraid that the stone would have to break her arm and leg today.
"We're friends, aren't we?" Before Du Mei could rush to him, the stone had already put his hand on the black girl's head, and said faintly.
"Ahh Du Gui was so frightened that she stretched out her hand to cover her face, and after a while, she didn't hear the screams and broken bones, and even the roar of the black girl disappeared, she opened a finger curiously and looked out secretly.
"It can't be!" Du Gui ran to him in two times and looked at the stone stroking the black girl. At this time, the black girl seemed to enjoy his love, like an old friend, and actually squinted her eyes comfortably.
Du Mei, who was not far away, didn't hear what the stone said, she saw the stone and the black girl interacting intimately, and she was surprised, could it be that the stone is talented? Even the black girl who has always been close to people has been subdued by him?
"Let's eat." Xu Shi stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the situation in the courtyard and said.
Du Ying and Du Tao looked at Du Gui silently, Du Gui also looked at them, and spit out her little tongue, she didn't know that it would be such a strange result.
There was silence at the dinner table, and the mother was so quiet when she returned to eat, even Du Gui only cared about eating hard.
"Auntie, Meizi, I'll go out and sleep in the carriage in a while." The stone swallowed a steamed bun in two bites, and drank a bowl of pumpkin porridge without fear of being hot.
"Stone, you better go back to Yunshang Embroidery Village, I'm fine here, if something really happens, I'll go to you." Du Mei couldn't help but persuade again.
"Shopkeeper Ye asked me to follow you." The stone turned over and over again, and he seemed to only say this sentence.
"You ......" Du Mei covered his head, headache!
"Since you have come, how can there be a carriage? When we have eaten, I will go and clean up the house, but I just wronged you to live in the next room. Xu said softly.
"Mother......" Du Mei let out a long cry.
"Since it was arranged by Shopkeeper Ye, don't dismiss his kindness." Xu turned his head to look at Du Mei.
"But our family ......" Her family is full of female dependents, and a young man lives in inexplicably, which will be spread by people with good intentions and cause trouble.
"I'm Ye's shopkeeper's buddy, and I'm your buddy who works for a long time, and I'm here to do the work. I promise, never step into the big house. The stone now reassured in a serious manner.
"The body is not afraid of the shadow, there is no right and wrong in the village that day? Those who want to chew the root of their tongue must also pinch out words to catch the wind and shadows. Xu shook his head indifferently. Since she jumped into the river and was rescued that day, she has thought a lot, and people can't live in the saliva of others.
"Well, since my mother has promised you to stay, you will unload the carriage and feed the horses some fodder." Du Mei saw that her mother didn't have so many taboos, so she nodded.
"Brother Shi, I'll take you to get forage." Du Gui slipped off the stool and led the stone out with a fart, she had been curious about the two horses for a long time.
"Mother, is this really good?" Du Mei asked again in a low voice.
"I think the stone is quite sincere, you run around every day, there should be someone to follow you." Du Mei has a lot of things to hide from Xu, but it doesn't mean that Xu is completely at ease that she is out alone, and now there is a desperate guy following, which is exactly what she wants.
"Second sister and third sister, come quickly!" Du Gui's startled voice came from outside the hospital.
Du Mei hurriedly ran out, and when she saw it, she couldn't cry or laugh, only to see Du Gui straddle~ on horseback, holding the horse's mane tightly, and she was afraid and happy and didn't dare to move.
"How did you climb up?" Du Tao looked up at Du Gui, his eyes full of envy.
"I ...... I ...... "Malaysia was a little unaccustomed to so many people surrounding it, and took a step back with a loud snort, and Du Gui was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"Stone, quickly take Du Gui down." Although Du Mei has grown taller, it is still difficult for her to hug Du Gui on horseback.
Shi leaned the frame against the corner, rubbed his hands against his pants, walked over, spread his arms, and hugged Du Gui's diaphragm socket to her down.
"Brother Shi, can you ride a horse?" Du Gui circled around the stone like a little heel. But the stone was busy with his own work and did not talk to her.
Du Mei helped Xu Shi clean up a lower room and set up a temporary bunk, but fortunately, the stone brought a futon and slept on it.
After feeding the horses with the stones, he went back to his house, and when his mother had rested, he came out to fetch water and wash.
On the second day, when Du Mei got up to make breakfast, the stones were already chopping wood in the courtyard.
Because today we have to use an ox cart to pull rice to Niu Er's house, we can only use a stone cart to deliver duck eggs. Several people worked together to carry the rice from the granary onto the ox cart, and the eldest girl was not allowed to carry the last three bales of rice no matter what, so Du Mei had to give up.
The horse-drawn cart is faster than the ox-cart, not to mention that the ox-cart is still carrying rice, so although Du Mei left home late, he arrived in Qinghe County early.
The shopkeeper Chen of the grocery store has been waiting for Du Mei at the door of the shop every day like an ant on a hot pot these days, and when he saw Du Mei sitting on the frame, he immediately stepped forward regardless of the galloping carriage.
Seeing that someone had suddenly burst into the spur, the stone had to urgently pull the reins, and the two horses raised their front hooves and neighed in dissatisfaction.
"You don't want to die." Stone said angrily. He usually has an expressionless face, and he is really angry at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Du......" Shopkeeper Chen apologized while chasing Du Mei.
Du Mei was afraid that he had stopped urgently just now and smashed the duck eggs in the carriage, so he had already jumped down and ran to see it in a hurry.
"Miss Du, are you here to send duck eggs? Great, this is my family? Shopkeeper Chen asked cheekily.
"Shopkeeper Chen, do you have a bad memory? I said a long time ago that I won't sell it to you. Du Mei sneered, she checked the basket, and saw that only some wheat straw had been spilled, and the duck eggs were still fine.
"Look at what you say, I didn't put your price down." Shopkeeper Chen still said with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Maoda's duck eggs are good, as long as you are not too greedy, they should sell better than my duck eggs." Du Mei jumped out of the carriage and said.
As soon as Du Mei said this, Shopkeeper Chen's face collapsed. Isn't his current situation just greedy? He originally planned to take Qian Maoda's duck eggs and pretend to be Du Mei's family, and each of them could earn an extra half a penny.
But he underestimated the housewife's sharp eyes and the old ginger's means of doing business. The housewives are careful every day, and they can't wait to break a penny in half to spend, and the duck eggs are only a circle of eggshells smaller, and the feeling in their hands is different.
And Lao Jiang Tou is an old fox who does business, he waited for the shopkeeper Chen to sell Qian Maoda's duck eggs for two days, and then began to let the guys go around, saying that Du Mei's duck eggs are authentic only to his family.
As a result, the housewives who were already suspicious two days ago immediately realized that they had been deceived, and those who saved trouble should only be blessed to suffer losses, and those who were not convinced came directly to the door and asked the shopkeeper Chen to return the money.
Shopkeeper Chen was very busy with this, and what made him even more anxious was that in the past few days, there have been fewer and fewer customers, not only no one buys duck eggs, but even groceries can't be sold.
He could only pin his hopes on Du Mei's duck eggs, but he was immediately deflated by Du Mei's words.
