Chapter 18: Bad Ideas
"Woo ......"
The beauty actually cried, "Sister Guixiang, don't cry, if you have something to say, I don't know anything, how to help you." ”
"Xiaoman, are you willing to help me," Meimu was in tears, and the pear blossoms with rain made people feel distressed.
Xiaoman nodded, alas, how desperate it was, pinning his hopes on an eight-year-old girl.
"My mother forced me to marry an old man in his sixties as a concubine, I was originally engaged to a family affair, and I will get married at the end of the year, and now my mother wants to regret the marriage."
"Is this your own mother? How can his own mother marry her daughter to someone as a concubine," Xiao Man couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's my stepmother."
"Oh, no wonder, stepmother did this kind of thing.
Sure enough, no matter what the world is, the stepmother is a kind of creature, and most of them are black-hearted, remembering the method of fighting with the stepmother for half a lifetime in the previous life, and I can't bear a lot of the pain of the stepmother.
"Then, your father, does he agree?"
"My dad listened to my stepmother for everything, and he didn't care about me at all."
Xiao Man thought for a moment and asked, "Who is engaged to you, and do you have any proof of engagement?" ”
"It's my cousin, when my own mother was alive, the parents of both sides set it, and it was a letter of appointment that was put together."
"Does your cousin know about this?"
"I know, my stepmother is going to the dowry and marriage letter in a few days."
"Then what is his attitude, what is the attitude of his father."
"My cousin said that if I didn't marry, he wouldn't agree to get married."
"That's a lot easier, do you like your cousin? Is it right that he doesn't get married? ”
Guixiang said shyly, plucked up the courage and nodded.
"Then let's cook raw rice and cook rice, anyway, he doesn't marry you, you don't marry him, this method is the simplest."
Guixiang was shocked, this girl is really speechless.
"Why don't you dare, then change the method, find a way to make this matter bigger, and find someone who can suppress your stepmother to administer justice to you."
"If you can't find a fortune teller, go and fool the old man, tell him that you two have birthdays and are compatible, as long as you marry you, he will have to worry about his life, and make sure he rests."
Seeing that neither of them spoke, they just looked at themselves in a daze and scratched their heads: "I'm sorry, I only think of these few ways for the time being." ”
"Hahaha", Chun Tao patted Guixiang's hand and couldn't close her mouth.
"Xiaoman, thank you so much, I'll discuss it with my cousin when I go back."
"I'll say what's going on, the little ghost has the most ideas." Chun Tao looked at Guixiang and showed off.
Guixiang hurriedly went back to her cousin to discuss countermeasures, and Xiaoman sent the two out of the door.
turned around and came back to see his brother coming out of the house with a face full of loss, and patted Da Man's shoulder: "There is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower." ”
"Alas, little girl, where did you learn all this nonsense?" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Satsuki's pigtails.
"Alas, let go, this is what the Bodhisattva taught me, and the Bodhisattva recently taught me to read and write."
"Nonsense, the Bodhisattva won't teach you these nonsense things."
The two were fighting, and Daman quickly forgot the unhappiness in his heart.
Feed the puppies and chickens and bathe Dabai, and time flies quickly.
In the evening, the Gu couple finally came back in a car, with large and small packages on the car.
As soon as he heard the movement, Xiaoman ran out, "Mother, where did this ox cart come from?" ”
"I borrowed it from Uncle Li's family at the head of your village, tomorrow we will go to the mountain to carry some fungus, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, peaches and fish, and the town was bought by the owner of a restaurant just now."
"Xiaoman, Daman, this is the meat buns, maltose, and mung bean cake that I bought for you." Gu Shi took out paper bags from the car and handed them to Daman.
took a bite of the bun, the skin was thin and the filling was delicious, "Mother, you can also take a bite," Xiao Man held the bun and fed it to Gu's mouth.
"Mother doesn't eat it, my father and mother have eaten it in the town, you can eat it."
"Mother, try it, why do I think this bun has a strange taste."
"No, I'll taste it."
Gu Shi took a bite of the bun: "No, I think it's delicious, what's the strange taste." ”
Looking at Xiao Man's bright eyes, Gu Shi understood, "Ghost elf, go eat steamed buns, my mother will cook and there will be good things for you." ”
Daman helped pack up the things, unloaded the car, tied the cow, a family of four, sat down to eat, Gu Dashan was very happy today, drank a few times, Xiaoman also dipped the wine with chopsticks, tasted it, it was much sweeter than the modern wine, the degree was not so high, there were meat and vegetables on the table, and life was much better than when he first came.
"Mother, how much did you sell today?" Xiao Man asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Hey, guess what."
"I can't guess, Dad, don't sell it."
Gu Dashan took out a black money bag from his arms and fell on the table with a bang.
"Brother, how much is this?"
Daman counted for a long time, "Five hundred dollars." ”
"Why do so many things only sell for 500 wen." Xiao Man felt pain in his flesh.
"Your mother and I bought a lot of things today, drew a hundred wen, and left five hundred."
Xiaoman felt the need to understand the prices here, "Mother, how much is a bun?" ”
"One penny."
"Rice is more than a pound."
"Rice is a tael of silver that can buy one stone, and one stone is one hundred and fifty catties."
"How much money is that one tael of silver?"
"A thousand pennies."
Xiaoman thought in his heart, so many things have been exchanged for more than 70 catties of rice, when will this be able to live a well-off life, there must be a fixed livelihood, there is a fixed income every day, and the paper can't hold the fire, maybe the people in the village will know that the things on the mountain will be gone if they say no.
"Mother, take me with you next time you go to town, I haven't been there."
After eating, Gu Shi took out a package and called Da Man and Xiao Man, "Da Man, this is the four treasures of the study that I bought for you, and there is a book, my mother knows that you actually still want to study, and when you have money, your mother will send you to study in the academy."
Daman felt like he had the most dream, "Niang paper is so expensive, you can buy a lot of meat for Xiaoyue." ”
"Xiaoman, this is a flower for you, see if you like it or not."
Xiao Man looked at the small head flower, the shape of the flower was pink and purple, and there were two small bells, "It's so beautiful, thank you." ”
"There's also a little pair of boots for you to try and see if it fits."
Xiaoman took off his cloth shoes and stretched his feet into them just right, the soles were very soft, and the most important thing was that the shoes were waterproof.
Xiaoman took two steps, the soles were soft and light, and his mother said: "The shoes are just right, and they are very comfortable to walk." ”
"Mother, I'll go and boil some hot water for you, and you soak your feet with your father." Xiaoman took off his new shoes and went into the kitchen.
