Chapter 13: Selling
She thought that in the future, there would be flocks of chickens and ducks in the yard, and the family would be solid, so she would not have to be tired of running for three meals a day like now.
It was dark all around, and only Li Tiezhu's broad back could be seen, every minute and every second was so difficult, Ye Xiaoying simply closed her eyes and fell asleep, only to be slightly sleepy, but suddenly she was on one side, and the whole person fell to the right.
Fortunately, there were a few baskets and a thick quilt on his body, so he was fine, but Li Tiezhu had already jumped down nervously: "Lady, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Ye Xiaoying was shocked at this time, grabbed the wooden board on the side, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?" What happened? Could it be that the ox cart had slid into the rice paddies on the side of the road, as she had feared?
The rice fields are next to this path, and if you deviate slightly, you won't slide down. Hearing that she was fine, Li Tiezhu relieved his heart, waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "It's okay, you just sit here." ”
He himself walked to the wheel on the right, and at the same time lifted the car with his hand, Ye Xiaoying was startled again, and Li Tiezhu smiled at her, his teeth were white and shining in the night.
"Sit tight." At this moment, Ye Xiaoying only felt that her body was light, and then the entire body moved to the left, and the original center of gravity was to the right, but at this time she already felt stable and swaying.
Li Tiezhu then clapped his hands, took a photo with the lamp he was carrying, and said reassuringly: "Okay." Ye Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief, and looked like she had fallen into a pit.
The weight of the things on it, plus the weight of his own body and the body, to say the least, is one or two hundred catties, and it was light when he lifted it. is so strong, Ye Xiaoying is relieved along the way.
It was not until she gradually felt dazzling that Ye Xiaoying found that she had fallen asleep unconsciously, and at the same time, the surroundings were lively, and there were people who could hear people's voices, and there were many people like them who came to catch up with the market.
Ye Xiaoying got up, stretched her waist, and rubbed her eyes. It wasn't dawn yet, but I could already see the scenery not far away. Sparse houses, foggy weather.
The ox cart was finally driven into the courtyard of the family, Ye Xiaoying jumped down and moved the things down with Li Tiezhu, she looked at the ox cart suspiciously and said to him, "You just put it here?" ”
This is also a dilapidated courtyard, the gate of the courtyard is wide open, but there is movement of people inside, but no one comes out to check, "Is this from our village, or is it a relative of Big Bear, and the ox cart is stored here every time it comes." ”
Oh, I see. The cow is expensive, Ye Xiaoying is just worried that if it runs away, then, just by paying this cow, it will not exhaust people to death.
There was still a short way from the town, Li Tiezhu straddled the flat burden on his waist, and carried the basket in the other hand, and walked forward with Ye Xiaoying.
He pondered as he walked: "Lady, your clothes are old, wait a minute, I'll buy you a piece of cloth." ”
Ye Xiaoying just came, and she didn't know the price, but looking at his baskets and these bamboo shoots that were not uncommon, Ye Xiaoying couldn't help but worry deeply about the silver.
I have worked hard to come to the market to see a doctor, and I will not return empty-handed because of lack of money. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and did not answer, Li Tiezhu was familiar with the road.
occupied a seat on the side of the road, took off the basket on his back, and the two were not placed in front of him, and then put the flat pole on the ground and beckoned Ye Xiaoying to sit up.
Ye Xiaoying glanced at it with disgust, uneven, not panicked, but all around was gray and dirty, and only there could she sit down.
On the flat shoulder, as long as Li Tiezhu moved slightly, Ye Xiaoying could feel that her whole body was tense, there was no difference between sitting and standing, and the most embarrassing thing was that there were people coming and going in the market, but very few people stayed.
Ye Xiaoying pushed him: "You have to shout, otherwise who will buy it?" ”
After all, whether it is a steamed bun seller or a vegetable seller next door, the shouting voice is a pulling voice, just listening to the long voice, it seems that you can smell the fragrance of steamed buns, and you can feel that his food is the freshest and most affordable.
Li Tiezhu scratched his head at this time: "I won't." ”
They are penniless now, Ye Xiaoying has empty ambitions, everything is difficult at the beginning, silver is needed everywhere, it is impossible for her to hatch chicks and conjure piglets by herself, right?
Looking at him like this, Ye Xiaoying hates that iron is not steel, and she can't wait to play him. Xu was because Ye Xiaoying's gaze stimulated Li Tiezhu, and he tried to shout: "Baskets, sell baskets." ”
He shouted cautiously, and glanced at Ye Xiaoying, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was observing whether Ye Xiaoying was satisfied. Ye Xiaoying's whole face was buried in her knees, and immediately there was a loud roar: "Sell baskets!" ”
She was almost startled and jumped up, sure it was Li Tiezhu's cry, not thunder?
After the first roar came out, Li Tiezhu's voice was much more natural after that, and soon someone really came to ask. Before, when they passed by the basket seller, Ye Xiaoying stepped forward first and asked him about the price, which was sold for ten wen, so Li Tiezhu was also at this price at this time.
After a while, two were sold, Li Tiezhu was overjoyed, and as soon as the guests left, he immediately solemnly handed over the twenty yuan to Ye Xiaoying's hands: "Lady, give it to you!" ”
That kind of pride and satisfaction made the corners of Ye Xiaoying's lips unconsciously raised. It was as if he had received the sweetness, and he screamed louder and louder. When it comes to selling bamboo shoots, they also sell faster than the people around them.
Li Tiezhu's bamboo shoots are very large and clean, everyone loves to come and buy them, and the originally empty silver bag instantly became bulging, and Li Tiezhu looked at her with a satisfied smile.
"Selling buns!" The shouts of the bun shop seemed to have the smell of meat.
They came out for a long time, and at this time the sun was gradually rising, and their stomachs were already growling, and at this time, Li Tiezhu pushed Ye Xiaoying to get up: "You go buy two buns to eat." ”
"You don't want it?" Every time I listened to his words, I asked her to buy all kinds of things, and she never thought about herself, Ye Xiaoying couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
Li Tiezhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head: "I'm not hungry." ”
At this time, there was only a pair of baskets left in front of them, and as long as they were sold out, they could go back. Ye Xiaoying thought that instead of waiting here, it would be better to go to the doctor first, and she told Li Tiezhu her thoughts.
Li Tiezhu's face stiffened, but soon he nodded straight: "The pharmacy is in the penultimate room on this street, lady, you buy buns first, and then go when you are full." ”
Ye Xiaoying nodded, and when she left, she could feel Li Tiezhu's gaze that had been following her. In order to reassure him, he bought a bun and walked to the pharmacy not far away.
