Chapter 6 Plum Blossom Hairpin
Yu Chun picked for a long time, selected a bead flower woven into the shape of a spring flower spike, the heart of the flower is decorated with small beads, wearing it on the head looks lively and delicate, and there is a wooden hairpin in the shape of a plum blossom, the hairpin body is carved into the shape of a plum branch, proud bones, although not very exquisite, but this chic is not a mistake to make people miss their eyes.
"How do you sell both?"
The small trader praised first, "This spring flower is suitable for the girl's age to wear, the girl is handsome and even more beautiful with this pearl flower!" You look at this material and this workmanship, other places cost 35 yuan, you are so handsome that you don't bury this pearl flower, I will give you 30 yuan. This plum blossom hairpin, you don't look at the material is worthless, but this carver is one of the best, I only have such a one when I go to buy, and I think that if no one buys it today, I will take it home to my mother-in-law to wear, girl, if you sincerely want to give you twenty Wen how about? ”
Yu Chun put down the things in his hand, "You are not kind, although this pearl flower looks beautiful, but this cloth is also an ordinary silk cloth, and it is not a silk satin, just how much is the scrap worth, and the beads on this are also ordinary beads, I casually catch some river mussels in the river The pearls are better than yours." And this wooden hairpin, the color is so dark, if it weren't for the appearance and a little special, it would be similar to chopsticks, and no one would buy it except me. ”
Yu Xia watched her sister bargain with the stall owner, and the verbal battle did not fall behind at all, and her eyes widened in shock, Yu Xian saw her showing a strange expression that you have rarely seen, "The eldest sister is amazing, she doesn't suffer every time she buys something, such a shrewd, capable and beautiful girl, no wonder Brother Tiger wants to marry her home as a daughter-in-law!" ”
Yang Cuilian heard what her son said, and her daughter-in-law immediately slapped him on the head, "Where did you hear these messy things, how old are you, what nonsense!" In his heart, he thought that the big tiger brother in Yu Xian's mouth was probably Liu Dahu, the eldest son of Liu Fu's family, that young man Yang Cuilian was quite familiar, not brilliant but thoughtful, he was a down-to-earth young man, the young man in the 14th Five-Year Plan had already taken on the family business, and he was honest, so he was a good candidate for son-in-law. It's just that now the eldest daughter is only ten years old, so how can she decide so early. It's just that I don't know if it's Liu Dahu's wishful thinking or if her daughter has the same thoughts, Yang Cuilian's eyes flashed, and she decided to go back and take the time to ask Yu Chun for a good time.
That Yu Chun bargained with the stall owner, and finally made a deal of 35 yuan for a bead flower and a wooden hairpin, Yu Chun still had 5 yuan left on her body, she happily put away the spring pearl flowers, but inserted the plum blossom hairpin into Yu Xia's head.
"Look, I'll just say that this wooden hairpin is very good for the second sister."
Yu Xia looked at Yu Chun, who was smiling briskly, and opened her mouth, but she felt that her eyes were sour, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and after a long time, she forced the fog in her eyes down vividly, "Big, big sister." ”
"You are two years younger than me, you are a half-old girl, other girls know how to dress up when they are five or six years old, you don't go out all day and have no jewelry, this wooden hairpin is not a good thing, even if I bought it for five cents, don't dislike it if I give it to you, and when my sister has money in the future, I will buy you a twelve-stacked peony hairpin!"
"Thank you, eldest sister, when I have the money, I will buy you a dozen dozen peony hairpins!" Yu Xia took off the wooden hairpin and held it in her hand, this was the first hairpin in her life, she grinned with sour eyes, how unfortunate she was, she was frail and sick since she was a child, and her family was so fortunate that her family took great care of her and tolerated her.
Because they had just sold Lingzhi and became wealthy, the group went to Buyu to cut four pieces of cotton cloth of various colors, and then made a can of coarse salt, a can of soy sauce, bought some peach cakes for the children to satisfy their hunger, cut a pound of pork, passed by He'an Hall, Yu Dayou gritted his teeth, and spent three taels of silver to buy three bottles of Qi Replenishing Pills, one pill a day, one bottle of twenty pills, and he could eat it for two months.
The family came out today to harvest a lot, waited for Yu Erzhu's ox cart at the city gate, and arrived home happily before the sun set. Approaching the door of the house, he saw a young man standing outside the door and probing his brain into the courtyard. The young man turned his head sharply when he heard the movement, and hurriedly waved at them, "Second uncle! You're back! ”
This young man was thirteen years old, wearing a clean cyan robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looked surprised when he saw the various items in their hands, pursed his lips and muttered, "The house is broken like this, and I still have spare money to buy cloth and meat." When Yu Dayou and his party came to him, he raised a smile and said loudly, "You can tell me to wait, come with me to dinner at home!" ”
Yu Da's family naturally knows this young man, this is the eldest son of Uncle Yu Xia's family, named Yu Gui, and he has a younger brother who is still nursing after birth, named Yu Zhen. Yang Cuilian has been particularly annoyed by their uncle's family since the division of the family, especially this Yu Gui, every time he goes back to the ancestral house for dinner during the New Year, he always has to be ridiculed by his yin and yang weirdness, plus Yu Xian is young, he can't quarrel, he can't fight, he can't fight, and he is so angry that he cries every time, so Yu Dayou's family has no good sense of him from top to bottom.
Yu Gui didn't seem to find out that he was not popular, and still smiled and talked to Yu Dayou, "Second uncle, hurry up and put this thing away with me, my sister-in-law is here today, and I want to see you by name!" Yu Gui's eyes rolled and fell on Yang Cuilian and the others, as if he had just discovered that there were other people, "Oh yes, second aunt, and younger brothers and sisters, you all come together!" ”
Hearing that his sister was coming, a smile appeared on Yu Dayoumu's face, "Then let's clean up, eldest nephew, you can also come in and drink saliva." ”
Yu Gui glanced at the broken courtyard gate and shook his head, "I'll wait outside the door, you guys move faster." ”
Yu Dayou didn't insist on being polite, the family went into the house to put away the things, Yu Dayou took the meat he just bought and looked at Yang Cuilian, looking hesitant.
Yang Cuilian glanced at him angrily, "When we went to help their family plant seedlings, we didn't even give a bite of food, and we had to let the big girl make it for us, and it was our family's turn to plant rice seedlings one by one, and they ran away one by one, this meat was bought for the second girl to replenish the body, you are a good son and brother who is filial." "The family in her mouth includes Yu Xia's grandfather, grandmother and uncle, after all, it is only Yu Da who has two rooms and is separated, and Yu Da's father and mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law's family are still one family.
Yu Da patted Yang Cuilian's shoulder apologetically, "You have been wronged over the years, but it is not appropriate for us to come to the door empty-handed, and my father and mother have to rely on the eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of them on weekdays, plus my sister has been close to me since I was a child, and I have brought things to the children every year, so let's not worry about these." ”
