Chapter 37: Making Shoes

The old lady still refuses to ask for it, "It's convenient for you to be convenient with others!" ”

Yuan Ning said: "I will trouble you in the future, if you refuse to accept it, will you be troublesome and refuse to help us in the future?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he said pitifully, "I won't tell you anything, we have five sisters and brothers, both parents died, and even if there are elders in the clan, they are separated from each other." My family is my family, and life is really difficult......"

Bo Zhong followed with a low sob.

The old lady couldn't help but redden, "Okay, you girl...... Don't say it, it's uncomfortable. That's it, I'll take two of these pears. For the rest, you share it with your neighbors. ”

In fact, Yuan Ning originally planned to do this, but the old lady was kind, but she couldn't help but appreciate it, thanked the old lady, packed pears for her, turned around and took her younger brother to send pears to the surrounding stalls.

It is not easy for the people in these stalls to see their brothers and sisters, and they don't have any crooked thoughts, even if they can't take the initiative to help, they don't say anything.

Yuan Ning couldn't help but sigh: In this era, the people are really simple.

She was naturally willing to give these pears, and said good things like wishing the other party good luck while returning them.

Everyone was very happy, this family gave her a handful of vegetables, that family gave her a handful of beans, and after this circle, they gave out a lot of pears, but they also got a lot of things back.

Bo Zhong grinned.

Because he looks good, he follows his sister step by step, and he speaks in the same way, everyone looks funny, and feels sad, and they love him a little more.

The old lady next door took the initiative to give Bo Zhong a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes, "Baby, I can't afford to give you cotton shoes, this is for you, it's a little cold to wear at this time, and you can still wear it when it's warm in spring next year." ”

Bo Zhong didn't accept it, but asked in a low voice: "Auntie, can you make a pair of shoes for my sister?" I'll give the money! As he spoke, he took out a penny and stuffed it to the old lady, and whispered, "This is the money left over from the meal, not my steal."

"Auntie, now I can take out very little money, but I will pay it back to you slowly, and I will definitely not take advantage of you!"

What a sensible child!

The old lady also whispered to him: "Success!" I promise to make your sister's shoes stronger! ”

The old and the young looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a common secret.

When the pears were delivered, all five baskets were empty. There was only one basket with things from other stalls.

Yuan Ning originally wanted to buy some meat and rare things. But thinking about it, I am now carrying five taels of silver, but I am afraid that there is a risk.

After pondering for a while, I saw that the eldest lady's youngest son had changed shifts with someone and changed all the clothes on his body, so he discussed with the eldest lady and wanted her son to accompany her to go shopping.

This is not a difficult thing, the eldest lady agreed as soon as she could, beckoned her son to come over, and told her like this.

The young man led Yuan Ning and them out.

kept talking on the road, and Yuan Ning learned that the young man's surname was Lin Yue, and he was the fifth son of the old lady, and he was the old man. His eldest brother is more than 20 years older than him.

Yuan Ning is affectionate and affectionate, and people are called "big brother".

Lin Yue rarely saw such a little girl who would come to trouble, and he was very happy, and took them to the shop he was familiar with.

When people saw that it was Lin Yue who brought it in, they could give a little more discount.

After turning like this for half an hour, they bought all the things they wanted: two feet of red flannel, two feet of blue flannel, three catties of cloth heads, two catties of fat, one catty of caramel sugar, one catty of brown sugar, two catties of white flour, and a few pieces of red paper, two candles, and a handful of incense.

Just these things have already spent more than half of the change that Yuan Ning had left, and there are still dozens of dollars left in his hand.

Bo Zhong was so distressed that he kept persuading her to buy less.

Yuan Ning refused to listen to him, and said to Lin Yue: "Brother Lin, isn't it almost August 15th?" Although we are children without fathers and mothers, we can't afford to be festive! Besides, I'm going to go back and burn two sticks of incense for my parents and tell them that I'm doing well with my younger siblings. How can you burn incense without offerings?

"We are poor and can't afford anything else, so buy some sugar and white noodles and go back and make our own! It's all our hearts. ”

Lin Yue said to Bo Zhong: "What your sister said is right! If you really feel sorry for your sister, help your sister more in the future, and be a productive person in the future and repay her well.

"When you are a few years older, if I am still on an errand at the yamen, I will definitely introduce you to come and do things, and you will be decent and majestic in the yamen, and I will also give your sister a long face.

"It would be better if Master Su could continue to be our county master at that time. Master Su is the most sympathetic to the following people. ”

Only then did Yuan Ning know that the original county commander's surname was Su, and he had the same surname as that Su Heting. Originally, Bo Zhong said that he was going to inquire about the news with the children in Lizheng's family, but he was busy all the time and didn't have time.

Since he had said this, Yuan Ning took the opportunity to inquire: "Brother Lin, Master Su's family is also here, right?" I'm ...... back."

Lin Yue laughed when he heard this.

Bo Zhong frowned, not very happy, "Brother Lin, what are you laughing at!" My eldest sister didn't say anything wrong! ”

Lin Yue wiped his eyes, "It's okay, it's okay, I just think it's okay...... Our Lord Su is young! He was only 17 years old when he took office the year before last, and his term of office will expire this winter, but it was said that he applied to stay in office.

"The adults don't have families, they haven't married yet, and the back house is ...... It's no exaggeration to say that we adults don't even have a female mosquito around us! ”

Yuan Ning was taken aback, "Arriving at the age of seventeen? Doesn't that mean that he was awarded the Jinshi at the age of seventeen? ”

"Ouch," Lin Yue raised his eyebrows, "You little girl knows a lot!" yes, or a prodigy! I heard that what others have to read in three years, Master Su can read in one year.

"When he first arrived, because he was young and despised, it was very inconvenient to do things, and we all thought at that time that he must not stay here for long.

"Hey! Who knows, less than a month after he took office, he invited all the backlog of cases of the previous county magistrate to be heard. Many wrongful and unjust cases have also been retried.

"And he has always been vigorous and resolute, no matter whether that person has been in the yamen for many years or not, as long as he is incompetent, he will be masturbated immediately!

"Happy, huh? But I also offended a lot of people, and I won't tell you that when it was just the New Year that year, Master Su experienced a total of six assassinations.

"But our Lord Su is not an ordinary person, you said that people are good prodigies when they study, and they still have a good kung fu! Tut-tut! ”

Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong were very curious, and asked for some details, but Fan Linyue didn't hide anything about it.
