Chapter 43: Warmth
Aunt Lin repeatedly emphasized that she still had several pairs of earrings in her hand, and no one lacked her granddaughter, so Yuan Ning reluctantly accepted it, and had already made up her mind that she must give Aunt Lin a good gift after a while.
When Aunt Lin saw that she had accepted it, she couldn't close her mouth happily, and turned her head to hang a long-life lock tied up with a red rope around Bo Zhong's neck, "It stands to reason that it is a little late to wear a long-life lock at this age, but it is better than nothing, grandma hopes that you are all safe." ”
Bo Zhong's tears fell.
It is rare for Aunt Lin to hold him in her arms.
Yuan Ning is also strange in her heart, although she can ensure that her younger brothers and sisters all grow up without food and clothing, but the lack of family affection in the process of growth is not something she can make up.
I really didn't expect that the warmth that I didn't get from my relatives would be found in such a stranger who only had a few faces.
The surrounding vendors came over to congratulate, saying that Aunt Lin had picked up such a big two grandchildren for nothing.
Aunt Lin smiled, "Okay, since you came to congratulate me, I can't let you go back empty-handed!" She paid for Bo Zhong to buy candy, "Those who see it have a share!" ”
Bo Zhong didn't dare to take it, and looked back at Yuan Ning, who took the money for him and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead!" ”
Aunt Lin was angry, "You kid, why are you still separated from your grandmother?" ”
"No," Yuan Ning smiled, "Grandma, this is also a part of our sister and brother's heart. Besides, I have younger siblings at home, and if there are any leftovers later, I will take them home and give them food. ”
The rest of the vendors praised her for being sensible. When the candy was bought, everyone took one or two of them, and re-wrapped the rest for them and put them in an empty basket.
It's not like no one has never eaten sugar, so let these poor children eat more sweets, and if they eat something sweet, they will feel that life is not so bitter.
Yuan Ning saw that they refused to eat sugar, so he asked Bo Zhong to go from stall to stall to deliver a pear.
Master Feng passed by here and saw that Yuan Ning was still out of the stall, so he came over and bought some pears to go back.
Because most of the big customers who buy pears are people in the yamen, in fact, the reputation of Yuanning's pears has been opened, and many people come here, and some are reluctant to spend money, just look at those pears with auspicious meanings, and then buy a little less ordinary pears, which can be regarded as a blessing.
Most people are willing to spend money, spend a little money, buy back psychological hints, no matter how it is worth it.
The fruit in Yuanning's basket was little by little.
When the stall was about to be closed, there was still half a basket left, and Yuan Ning thought that this time it would definitely not be sold out, but a young man came out of breath from afar.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked how many pears there were, and he packed them all.
Yuan Ning pointed to the basket, "That's all." ”
The young man was not picky, and took out a cloth bag from his body, "You weigh it, no matter how much you want, I want it!" ”
It's rare to meet such a bold guest.
Yuan Ning weighed it, and it was twenty-three pounds.
The young man paid for it happily.
Yuan Ning said with a little apology: "It stands to reason that you bought so much, I should give you some more, but I'm sorry, today's fruits are all sold out." It's better to do this, next time you come early, I'll send you more. ”
"That's not a problem!" The young man waved his hand, "But I've heard, you still have some auspicious fruits here, will you come tomorrow?" If you still come, I'll come over tomorrow to buy it, and you can keep a few more for me. ”
Yuan Ning thought about it, and seeing that the autumn was deep, he didn't dare to go in and sell these fruits, so he was about to fold them in his hand, so he nodded, "I'll be here tomorrow." ”
The young man was satisfied and took the pear away.
Aunt Lin leaned over and asked, "Girl, don't you set up stalls every day?" ”
Yuan Ning sighed, "This can't be helped, who made us poor!" Naturally, it is important to make money. ”
Aunt Lin took out a cloth bag, "This is the shoes made for the two of you, go back and measure the feet of your younger brothers and sisters, Ming'er will give me the size, I will make shoes for them, it's cold, I don't prepare well, my hands and feet are frozen, and I have to get frostbite every year." ”
Yuan Ning hurriedly thanked him and asked how much money he needed.
Aunt Lin was originally not going to ask for money, but thinking of what Yuan Ning said to Fang Yan before, she said: "You just look at giving a few hard-earned money, and I don't expect this to make money." ”
Yuan Ning took out ten yuan, and Aunt Lin returned five yuan to her, "It's too much." The cloth for making these shoes was left over from making shoes for my grandchildren at home. Your cotton shoes are not ready yet, and I will give them to you when they are ready. ”
Seeing that his youngest son was on duty, he asked his youngest son to help Yuan Ning redeem money.
This time, Yuan Ning earned eleven taels of silver, and a fraction of more than 400 yuan.
Lin Yue made his own decisions and spent thirty yuan to buy them some cooked food. Didn't buy fat or anything like that.
After coming back, Aunt Lin told him: "In the future, this is your niece and nephew, take good care of it." ”
Yuan Ning shouted awkwardly, "Little uncle." ”
Lin Yue's own nephews and nieces are also so old, so he didn't feel anything, so he simply agreed, "If there is anything in the future, just come to the little uncle!" ”
Not long after, Zhang Ergou came over.
Lin Yue helped to stack all the baskets together, and the cooked food bag he bought was tightly placed in the basket in the middle, and he couldn't smell it at all.
Zhang Ergou, who had seen the enthusiasm of the surrounding vendors once, didn't think it was strange, and took his sister and brother and walked out of the city.
Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong couldn't help waving at Aunt Lin's mother and son who were standing in place watching them leave.
Without further ado, nothing happened on the road. When she returned home, Yuan Ning first collected the silver alone, and then handed over most of the copper coins to Zhong Ling, as a family, she only kept twenty coins by her side.
Zhong Ling took out a crockpot and put all the money in it.
At dinner, Yuan Ning took out the cooked food, cut it, and feasted on it with his younger siblings.
After resting for one night, before dawn the next day, Yuan Ning went to the fruit forest again. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, Su Heting was already there, and there were several baskets on the ground, which were larger than the baskets she used in Suri, and they were also updated, and they were all half loaded.
Looking at Yuan Ning's stunned appearance, Su Heting came down from the tree and said with a smile: "Don't I have something to do here, it's really not easy to think about your sister and brother, so come over to help."
"After picking this time, there is almost nothing left on the tree, you should also keep a little, eat it during the festival, even if you can't finish it, you can keep it to make frozen pears, and it's pretty good to eat in winter."
Yuan Ning slowly regained his consciousness and thanked him solemnly.
Su Heting waved his hand, "As far as I'm concerned, it's just a gesture." ”
Yuan Ning was quick with his hands and feet, and packed him with a few pears with auspicious meanings, "You can take this back, it's good to eat it yourself, and it's not bad to give it away." ”
