"Sister Meizi, my brother went to Jiangling City to supervise the fall of Meixuan, and he is in charge of the large amount of money in the shop. When he comes back, we'll settle the bill. Do you think it's okay? "Although Ye Qing is a small shopkeeper, Ye Dan still controls the money exchange in business.

"Okay, there's no hurry." Although Du Mei wanted to help Huang Daya get out of the predicament as soon as possible, she had no choice but to give up if the money was not available.

Ye Qing finished the soup, wiped his mouth, took the assorted vegetables, and left with a smile.

"Sister Meizi, there's a penny here!" Huang Daya said in surprise.

She was sweeping the floor, and the corners were all swept clean by her. Hearing a ticking sound, a copper coin rolled out of the corner, and she quickly pounced.

"Where did this come from?" Du Gui looked at the copper coin in the palm of the big girl's hand.

"There, I just swept it out." Huang Daya pointed excitedly to the corner of the wall.

"Maybe it was lost by a customer, or maybe it was dropped by the fruit stall owner in the past, since you picked it up, just keep it." Du Mei was busy with his hands and said casually.

"No, no, no, I can't take it!" The eldest girl slapped a penny on the table, as if the money would bite her hand.

"We've been selling all morning, and if someone really lost their money, they would have found it a long time ago. Fruit stall owners can't come from their hometowns for a penny. You just take it. Du Mei persuaded.

"Although I picked up the money, the stall belongs to you, so the money should naturally be handed over to you. If anyone comes to him, he will return it. If it is given to me, will it not be for you to advance money in vain? The eldest girl pushed the money on the table to Du Mei's hand.

"Okay, I'll take it, and ask my acquaintances tomorrow if anyone has lost money." Du Mei saw that the eldest girl was resolute, so she had to put away the money.

Du Mei counted the silver coins in the morning, and it was one hundred and seventy or eighty wen, and in this way, the gross profit was also about one hundred. According to this momentum, if you sell it for another four or five days, you will probably be able to save up to 500 Wen.

She told the news to the eldest girl and Du Gui, and the eldest girl was happy that she didn't know what to say, so she just worked harder.

The next day, Du Mei returned the penny to Niu Er, who came to eat soup.

"What, this girl is really honest?" Niu Er tossed a penny in his hand and played around.

"I told you not to do this yesterday, you don't believe it!" Du Mei said angrily.

"I'm afraid it's not that I have less money and can't look down on it?" Niu Er scratched his head.

"Pull it down, this is the end of the matter, I still believe her." Judging from Huang Daya's insistence on helping with the food, Du Mei could see that this girl was not a cheating person.

"Well, if you have any problems, come to me! I dare not say that in Sheshan Town, Niu Er's name is still useful. Niu Er patted his chest and said.

"Speaking of which, I really have something to ask you for." Since Niu Er mentioned this stubble, Du Mei naturally had to plan for the eldest girl as soon as possible.

"What's wrong? Whatever you say you don't ask for, you're still alive with me. Niu Er said a little dissatisfied.

"I don't have anything to do, it's just that the eldest girl's family used to be a sugar man, but then it happened, and now it's difficult to make a living. I finally persuaded her father to teach the big girl to learn to do the candy man business, but he insisted on taking me as an apprentice. I thought that in the future, if the big girl went to the streets and alleys to sell, she would inevitably encounter some village bandits and road blockers, and she would have to rely on you to take care of them. Du Mei glanced at the busy girl, she was smiling, tired but happy.

"It's not just a matter of words! I'll let her know everywhere when I get there, and I'll never trouble her. ”

Niu Er said confidently.

"Then I'll thank you on her behalf." Du Mei's heart was steady.

"Look at your politeness, something to say." Niu Er finished the soup, stood up slightly, and left.

The stall is already small, and there are not enough tables, chairs and benches, so some are anxious, standing on the side of the street with bowls to eat. And in front of the fried stinky tofu oil pot, the queue was long until it was sold out, and people kept asking.

Business was in full swing for four days in a row, and Du Mei had more than 500 yuan. plus the two hundred Wen in the hands of the eldest girl, and the Ding family, it is more than enough.

After closing the stall on this day, Du Mei did not rush home as usual, but took the eldest girl and Du Gui around the town.

Du Mei bought the condiments that were in short supply at home, and when she saw the cloth village on the side of the road, she raised her feet and walked in.

It was the first time for Da Ya and Du Gui to see so many colorful and various materials of cloth, and their eyes were almost unable to see it.

"Big girl, come and see, what color do you like?" Du Mei hesitated in the pink and goose yellow colors.

"I like this." The big girl pointed to the peach.

"Okay. Shopkeeper, please tear a piece of cloth for her. Du Mei greeted with a smile.

"For me? No, no, no, my clothes are washed every day! The big girl blushed all of a sudden.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and my hands and feet have been busy all morning, and my back has long been wet with sweat. But she only had this one dress to wear when she went out, so the first thing she did when she came home was to change her clothes and wash them, and put them on again the next day, so she wore the same skirt for four days in a row.

"Since you are a helper for me, I should take care of your food and housing. You serve soup and food to guests every day, and you have to dress a little better, this is the face of the restaurant, of course I have to spend this money. Du Mei patiently persuaded.

"This ......" Huang Daya heard Du Mei say this, and couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

"What a beautiful color." Du Gui pulled a piece and draped it on the big girl.

"It's soft and comfortable." The eldest girl is a child after all, and she reaches out and touches it lovingly.

"After a while, I went back to Dujiagou, you came to my house to measure the size, your mother's body is not good, so don't bother her." Du Mei took the cloth wrapped by the shopkeeper and said.

"Sister Meizi......" Huang Daya's voice was choked, and she didn't know what to say.

"Unproductive girl, just a piece of clothing, I should give it to you." Du Mei smiled good-naturedly.

"I've never worn such a nice outfit." The eldest girl's gaze stayed on the cloth.

"The days will get better and better in the future." Du Mei touched her head lovingly.

On the way home, Du Gui fell asleep on the ox cart tiredly, Du Mei felt sorry for her, and found a piece of cloth to cover her, these days have been too hard.

Du Mei measured the size of the eldest girl, spread the cloth on the table, and after a few strokes, she cut a piece of cloth properly, and she rolled up the cut cloth and kept it for sewing at night.

With 500 yuan, Du Mei and the eldest girl rushed to see the eldest girl.

"Auntie, this is the 500 wen we have earned in the past few days, you have to ask someone to give it to the Ding family." Du Mei handed a half-old purse to the eldest girl.

"Meizi, thank you so much. In the future, when the eldest girl earns money, she will definitely pay you back. The big girl grabbed her purse hard and said.

"I'm still your apprentice, isn't it natural to help you." Du Mei said with a smile.

"Today, the eighteenth is going to come to urge Gengti, and I will talk to her again." The eldest girl looked out the door.

"When will she come? I'd like to see this

How clever the matchmaker is! Du Mei sat down at the table.

"Oh, he's Aunt Huang, you're at home." As he spoke, a high-pitched voice came.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao." The eldest girl whispered to Du Mei.

A chubby woman with a rouge gouache on her face, with a red handkerchief on her fingertips, came with a spring breeze on her face. I saw her wearing a bright aqua green skirt, a falling horsetail on her head, and a big red peony silk flower obliquely inserted into her sideburns. From head to toe, the flowers and willows are green, and those who dare to do this are only eighteen years old.

Lao Eighteen is the woman's nickname, men, women and children call her like this, and after a long time, they forget their real name and surname. She is a native of Chenqian Village on the other side of the river, playing a little and loving, and after fifty years, she still dares to wear red and green, like an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Aunt Huang, last time we said that we would give Geng a post today, how did you prepare?" The old eighteen asked with a smile.

"When did I promise you?" With Du Mei sitting at home, the eldest girl seemed to have a backer, and her tone hardened.

"Hmph, I think you want to pay back! Ready for a penny? Old Eighteen's face immediately changed.

"The Ding family only lent 500 Wen, but they want to recover a lot of money, this calculation is really fine!" Without waiting for the eldest girl to speak, Du Mei said coldly.

"Who are you girl? Dare to take care of this business? Seeing a girl at the table interjecting, Lao Eighteen couldn't help but ask angrily.

"I'm Du May, and I'm in charge of it. The eldest girl will not marry into Xiaowangzhuang to be a cow and a horse, as for the money, it is natural to borrow as much as you want to repay, and if the Ding family dares to let go of the money, I will go to the county government to sue you! The more Du Mei spoke, the more angry he became.

"Dume?!" Lao Eighteen's eyes seemed to fall off, this year, Du Mei's name was also thunderous in Sheshan Town, which shocked her.

"How much benefit did she promise you after the deed was done?" Du Mei stared at the old eighteen.

"What's the benefit, it's just some ordinary thank-you gift." Old Eighteen lowered his head in a panic.

"That's strange, for the sake of some fish and meat, you will help to put money indiscriminately, or force marriage regardless of whether it is good or bad, this is a felony, aren't you afraid!" Du Mei said at the end and slapped the table hard.

Lao Eighteen was taken aback by this, and she said, "I don't know what you're talking about? ”

"You can pretend to be confused, there will be a place for you to tell the truth, go, you go to the yamen with me." Du Mei got up from the bench and gestured to walk out.

"It's none of my business!" Lao Eighteen was completely frightened, and she retreated again and again.

"It's none of your business, you have your own county master to decide." While Du Mei was talking, he was about to come up and pull the old eighteenth.

"Aunt Huang!" The eighteenth man was in a hurry, so he had to ask for help.

"I have 500 wen here, and I will give another 50 wen, and I will settle it with Ding. Excuse me to run an errand and hand it over to her. "The eldest girl knows that she will hit the snake with the stick.

"I'm a media escort, how can I do this?" The old eighteen only accepted Ding's promise to paint cakes to satisfy hunger, and she didn't see a penny of money, so she didn't want to run errands.

"Master, give her ten cents, it's hard work." Du Mei said to the eldest girl.

"Master? Has your family's craft been passed down? Old Eighteen said in surprise.

"Yes, please tell me, my master accepted me, and she Ding shouldn't make any more wishful thinking!" Du Mei's words are really heart-wrenching. 2k reading web
