"One thousand four hundred and forty wen." Luo Yun counted beside him.

The man who looked like a housekeeper silently calculated in his heart and said, "You daughter-in-law, it's fast to settle accounts." ”

"Hey, hey! My daughter-in-law has a good brain. Li Xiangdong didn't know how to be modest at all, and asked again: "Do you have a frame for this master?" How do you pack this fruit? ”

"I didn't bring it, if you don't give me this basket, how can I take it back."

"Ah, I still have to send the basket, I haven't been buying this basket for long. Two cost me twenty wen. I still need to use it at home, or you can ask someone to buy two, master. ”

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't ask you for nothing, I'll give you another twenty wen. With that, he handed over the money.

Li Xiangdong took the money and counted it and said, "You always eat well, come and buy it next time." ”

"You two hurry up and take your things to the car and put them away." The man shouted at the two attendants.

"Daughter-in-law, it's all sold out now, let's pack up and go to the grain store to buy some food."

"Well, you look at it, I don't understand this."

"It's okay, when I come to town in the future, you will come along, run a few more times, and you will understand."

"Hmm." The two of them quickly packed up their hands and feet, and led the ox cart and walked slowly down the street.

"Daughter-in-law, yesterday my mother-in-law and brother-in-law came to see you at our house, and I was busy just now and forgot to tell you. Later, go to the dim sum shop and buy two dim sums. In the basket in the car, there are three catties of meat prepared by my father. When we go home, let's go to Luojia Village to see our mother first. ”

Luo Yun was busy watching the strange, and the street was full of the shouts of street vendors, shouting one after another, listening to it was really lively.

What a marshmallow, a rock sugar gourd, a sugar man painting. When I heard it, I was selling candy and eating.

What wontons, spring noodles, pancake fruits, big baked cakes.

Pity... I don't have any money in my pocket...

Li Xiangdong's money had to be kept to buy food.

Just watched and smelled all the way, thinking hatefully in my heart, when the old lady has money, everything will be open and eaten.

was thinking wildly, and when he heard the words, he responded hello.

Li Xiangdong looked at his daughter-in-law's absent-minded appearance, and what else didn't he understand.

Holding back a smile, he took out a copper plate in the cloth bag hanging in front of him, thought about it and took out a string of money, stuffed it into his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat, you can buy it yourself." When you buy something, ask how much it is. Then count the copper plates and give them to him. ”

"Give me all of this." Luo Yun pinched the copper plate in his hand, his eyes were bright and scary.

"Well, for you. It's inconvenient for me to play with you with an ox cart. I'm going to buy snacks first, and then I'm going to buy food. I'll be waiting for you in the granary. As he spoke, he pointed to the front: "I see that there is no front, there is an intersection." You turn left, and there's a harvest store. That's where I buy food. When you're done shopping, go there and find me. If you can't find it, ask someone for directions. You can hurry up, we have to go to Luojia Village. Li Xiangdongzai explained carefully, when he met such a daughter-in-law who was not familiar with ordinary affairs, he could only turn into a broken old woman.

He's desperate! !

Luo Yun nodded again and again, the person gave her money, and she still knew how to ask: "What do you want to eat?" I'll buy it for you. ”

Li Xiangdong immediately became happy and said, "You don't need to buy me, I just ate two buns, and I'm not hungry." "My daughter-in-law can still remember herself when she has food.

So happy! There is wood...

Luo Yun turned around and left.

What's polite? I don't know!!

How fast Luo Yun is depends on how fast she can run back.

She decided to start buying from the first small vendor selling cotton candy. No one can be left behind.

"How much is this?"

"Siwen one, little lady, you buy this home and give it to the baby, the baby will definitely be happy."

The smile on Luo Yun's face was stiff.

The old lady is thirty-six, the old lady is not a baby...

He quickly took out four copper plates in his hand and said, "I want two." ”

"Okay, you've got it."

Luo Yun took the marshmallow and licked it, and smiled again, so sweet, so sweet.

"How much money do you have for this?"

"Little lady, this baked cake costs three cents a piece."

"Two of them."

It's hard to take this time. I looked around, and saw that there happened to be a basket seller next to me, so I quickly bought one.

"How much money do you have for this?"

"The big sugar man here is six cents, and the smaller one here is four cents."

"Two of them, big ones."

This conversation continues from the streets to the end of the street.

A beautiful little lady with a basket in one hand, which is filled with all kinds of snacks. With the other hand, he took something quickly, without showing rudeness, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking for a return rate? ? ?

The pedestrians on the road covered their faces, too spicy...

Street vendor: God, please give me a few more of these diners...

When Li Xiangdong saw Luo Yun, he saw her holding a basket in her left arm and a marshmallow in her left hand. Holding a pancake in his right hand, he was feasting on it.

There are a few sesame seeds on the corners of his mouth, and even one on his face.

Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, he took two steps forward with a smile, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped it off for her, and said softly: "It's so delicious." ”

"Hmmm! Delicious, minced meat, sesame pancakes. As he spoke, he smiled and handed the baked cake in his hand to Li Xiangdong's mouth: "Give it to you." ”

Li Xiangdong shook his head funny and said, "I don't eat it, you can eat it." Reaching out to take her basket: "How can you buy so much, is the money enough?" ”

"Now, that's all there is left." Luo Yun spread out his palms.

Li Xiangdong looked at the two copper plates lying on the palm of his daughter-in-law's hand. I finally couldn't help but laugh. touched his daughter-in-law's head, took out a bunch of money from the cloth bag and said, "You take these, and sometimes the village will come to sell merchants." After thinking about it, he explained, "It's the kind of carrying a burden." Sell some needles and threads. Melon seeds, candies, snacks and so on. When the time comes, you can buy what you want to eat. ”

Luo Ying smiled and took the copper plate, put it in his sleeve, and the copper plate entered the space smoothly.

"Let's go, let's go home."

The two drove the ox cart all the way into Luojia Village.

Luo Yun's mother's yard is also the first in Luojia Village. A big blue brick house. The courtyard walls are also made of large stone strips. The front yard is paved with bluestone slabs, and the back yard is a vegetable garden.

Luo Yun looked at this courtyard, and he didn't know how much better it was than his own mud wall and thatched roof house.

Li Xiangdong stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, shouting: "Aqi open the door, is Aqi at home?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" I heard footsteps. The door opened. "Sister, brother-in-law, you're here, come in."

Luo's younger brother's name is Luo Siqi, and he is white and thin.

Coarse gown and fat-legged pants. A typical country boy is dressed up, his clothes and pants are patched, and they are cleanly washed. Wearing such a suit on his body, he can see the appearance of a weak scholar. The temperament of the whole person is also very different from that of the country boys.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you go to the hall and sit down first, and I'll pour water for you." As he spoke, he walked briskly to the kitchen.

Li Xiangdong bolted the ox, carried the basket and said, "Let's go in." ”

"Take another bag of food. There is definitely not enough food at home. Luo Yun said.

She promised the original owner to take good care of her family. The Luo family only has four acres of dry land left. Eat, drink, and chew all year round by it.

At the end of the year, not to mention dry rice and full meals, even drinking gruel is not enough. Every year, the green and yellow will be cut off, but fortunately, the grandfather's house is close. I borrowed the grain first, and then returned it when the autumn harvest was over. Since Luo Xiucai's death, such a difficult life, the mother and son have survived for three or four years.

"Take it, I can't just look at them and live like this."

Although Luo Yun was reluctant to take out the food in his hand. But there is also self-confidence, which can allow the two families to live a life without worrying about eating and drinking.

"You carry the basket, and I'll carry the grain. I bought a total of 600 catties of grain, including 300 catties of white flour and 300 catties of brown rice. Otherwise, keep a bag. ”

"Ah! Two bags... Okay, two bags are two bags. "My heart hurts... He gritted his back teeth and said, "I'll hunt more prey to sell in the future." ”

Li Xiangdong looked at her painful appearance and joked: "What, I can't bear it!"

"Why, when you're done eating, you don't want to bring it to them. Sooner or later. Luo Yunzui said stiffly.

"Okay, you know, two bags of grain are worth a few dollars." Then he whispered, "Besides, you hunted so much prey yesterday, and all of it can be exchanged for grain to fill a room." You have the ability to go through the sky, and I also have the strength. The two of us together are only six people. Anyway, the days will only get better and better. ”

"Hmmm! I know. "Luo Yun doesn't know where he is, it's this reason. It's just a habit that has been cultivated for more than 30 years, and it shouldn't come down all of a sudden.

"Sister, brother-in-law, come in and sit down and drink water." Seeing that the two of them were still standing by the ox cart and muttering, Ah Qi shouted, "Brother-in-law, you have gone to the town to buy food, and you can't throw anything on the ox cart." Come in and sit down, and I'll call my mother home." As he spoke, he went to the backyard.

Luo Yun entered the hall and put down the basket, took a bowl and filled two bowls of water before he breathed a sigh of relief.

I eat too much sugar and have a dry mouth, and when I think of sugar, I smash it and smash it.

The next time I go to town, I want to buy more storage space and take it out to eat when I want to eat it, so it's beautiful to think about it.

After Li Xiangdong finished carrying two bags of grain, he also sat down and drank a bowl of water and said, "Let's go back after a while, and we won't eat here." When I went home early, I still stewed pig's head at home. There are also those that go into the water, put a lot of ingredients down, and the taste is very good. ”
