Chapter 13 Selling vegetables also divides the territory
When they went out, Ye Cheng and Jin Zhi hadn't come back yet, Jin Qing carefully took out the copper plate from his arms and counted them one by one, ha, there are twelve copper coins!
Jin Qing, a fan of wealth, immediately stared at the copper coin in the palm of his hand, and his big black eyes immediately turned into two curved crescents, and he couldn't see his teeth when he smiled. Ye Wei'an saw that happy and bright smile, and her heart seemed to have been hit by something, and she was pounding hard.
"How happy you are for such a small amount of money?" Ye Wei'an asked casually.
Jin Qing then remembered that there was another person next to him, thinking that the look of the money fan just now was all made to be seen, Jin Qing was quite embarrassed, and said, "I thought I was going to return empty-handed today." ”
The girl in front of her had a clean face, there was a slight sweat on the tip of her nose, her big black eyes were full of smiles, she was not pretty, but she looked very pleasing to the eye, and the medicine box on her back looked heavier than her, Ye Wei'an unconsciously twisted her face to the side, and sighed slightly for this girl in her heart.
After a while, Ye Cheng came back with Jin Zhi on horseback, Jin Qing stood under the horse and hugged Jin Zhi, carefully wiped the sweat on Jin Zhi's head, Ye Cheng lay on the back of the horse and said with a smile: "Little brat, your sister really loves you!" ”
Jin Zhi was ridiculed by his admired little brother, his little face turned red, Jin Qing couldn't see his younger brother being squeezed out, Ye Cheng must have joked with him before taking revenge on himself, so he smiled and said: "Your brother also loves you too!" Why do you always say that we know Jinzhi? "It's a round.
Ye Cheng laughed twice, and said proudly: "That is, I have two elder brothers, my second brother is the best looking and has the best temper, but my eldest brother is the most powerful, you don't know, my eldest brother ......"
"Ah Cheng." Ye Wei'an saw that the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost danced on horseback, and stopped Ye Cheng with a faint voice.
When Ye Cheng heard his brother's voice, he immediately shut up, and laughed dryly.
Ye Wei'an looked at Jin Qing and smiled apologetically at Jin Qing, Jin Qing also understood that they were rich and noble children, so it was naturally not good to tell the situation at home to irrelevant outsiders, pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head and asked Jin Zhi: "Jin Zhi, Ye Gongzi took you to play, have you thanked others?" ”
Jin Zhi immediately shouted at Ye Cheng: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Ye!" ”
Ye Cheng was very proud, sat on the horse and pinched his waist, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you're welcome, I'll take you on a horse when I have the chance!" ”
Jin Qing pulled Jin Zhi to say goodbye to Ye Wei'an and Ye Cheng, and set foot on the way home.
Jinzhi was bouncing along the way, and before the excitement passed, Chao Jinqing asked, "Sister, when can we still play with Brother Acheng?" ”
When Jin Qing saw this kid, he was still addicted to playing, smiled and clicked on Jin Zhi's head, and said: "Don't think about it, it's good if people are willing to take you to ride a horse, if you meet again in the future, you are not allowed to pester others, be polite!" ”
The Ye brothers don't know where they came from, and they are friendly to them now, largely because of the novelty of their sister and brother. Jin Zhi is still young, he doesn't understand human feelings, and it is normal for the two sons who like to play with him, but Jin Qing is a human being in two lives, how could she not understand, after all, they are people of two classes, and it is impossible to come together to be friends.
Jin Zhi was very regretful, but nodded seriously, his sister's words were right.
Jin Qing pulled the well-behaved and obedient cute brother to walk on the country road, the cool breeze gently blew away the heat of the day, and the copper plate in his pocket with the sound of footsteps looked so cute at the moment.
If they could get this amount in every day, their family would no longer have to eat coarse multigrain cakes.
Jin Qing suddenly felt that this day was still very vigorous, God was not bad for her, the bad life in her previous life was over, and the current days had just begun, as long as she was willing to work hard, life would definitely get better!
Jin Qing was in a good mood and pushed open the door, but saw Mama Liu sitting in the courtyard with her head down, raising her sleeves from time to time to wipe her eyes, and Xu Bin standing aside and whispering something.
Jin Zhi immediately stepped forward, took Mama Liu's hand and shouted anxiously, "Mama, who bullied you?" ”
Jin Qing saw that Mama Liu's vegetable basket was full of broken vegetable leaves, as well as the marks that had been stepped on, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and the good mood of making money immediately disappeared......
No matter how Jin knew how to hold Mama Liu's hand and shout, Mama Liu just didn't say anything, picking up the vegetables that were still intact in the basket in a muffled voice, and tears fell from time to time and smashed onto the dishes.
Seeing that Mama Liu was emotional, Jin Qing hurriedly pulled Jin Zhi over, instructed him to practice the words he was taught to write today, and then turned around and asked quietly, "Mama, what's wrong?" You've got to tell me what's going on? ”
Mama Liu wiped her eyes and said reluctantly: "It's nothing, Mama is useless, let your sisters and brothers be wronged." ”
Seeing Mama Liu's attitude, Jin Qing couldn't continue to ask at this time, so she had to pull Xu Bin aside and ask, "What's going on?" ”
Xu Bin looked back at Mama Liu, who was red-eyed, and said in a low voice: "When I was at the entrance of the village, I saw her take the car in the village and come back, the vegetable basket was full of rotten vegetable leaves, and I helped her move the vegetables back. ”
When Jin Qing heard this, her hands clenched unconsciously, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you let me sell it?" The vegetable market is not owned by their family? But want money? ”
Xu Bin glanced at Mama Liu, who was still stubbornly picking up vegetable leaves, and sighed: "You haven't been to the county seat, you don't know, but in any larger place, setting up stalls to do business has to divide the territory, how can someone who has already occupied this land let you be an outsider to rob their business?" What's more, it's not like Liu Meizi is a woman's family to bully! ”
Jin Qing slowly let go of her fist, and lowered her head in some frustration, she should have thought about it, why are there so many people selling vegetables in the town, Mama is a lonely and weak woman, how can others let her get a piece of the pie.
"I estimate that those ruffians are vegetable sellers, this matter is a personal grudge, the people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, and they don't hurt her, and we don't take it to the government." Xu Bin said.
Jin Qing squeezed out a smile, what can she do, she was negligent, she has been in Zhujia Village for too long, and she thought that ancient times were really a great contemporaneous who did not leave a trace and did not close the door at night, "Thank you Uncle Xu." ”
Xu Bin patted Jinqing's shoulder and said, "I have already persuaded her, tomorrow I will accompany her to sell vegetables, Uncle Xu is here, don't be afraid!" ”
"This, this is not good, it is too troublesome for you!" Jin Qing hurriedly refused. Xu Bin lives by working part-time jobs for others, and he is not rich, how can he bother others so much!
Xu Bin said with a smile: "You kid has a lot of thoughts, don't be polite to Uncle Xu, I'll tell your grandmother." ”
Jin Qing looked at Xu Bin in surprise, and then looked at Mama Liu who was cleaning up the dishes, she was extremely sure that Mama Liu must have heard Xu Bin's words just now, but she didn't mean to object at all, so she agreed by default?
After Xu Bin left, Jinqing put down the medicine box and squatted beside Mama Liu, helped Mama Liu pick up the vegetables in the basket, and saw if there were any intact ones, and kept them for their own cooking, saving them from selling vegetables but not eating them.
Jin Zhi was originally hiding in the house, but when he saw that Uncle Xu was gone, he moved a small bench and sat at the gate of the courtyard, holding a branch and writing the words he had learned in the past few days.
Jin Qing saw that Jin Zhi couldn't hear the voice here, so she whispered to Mama Liu, "Mama, what do you think of Uncle Xu?" ”
Mama Liu's face turned crimson, she glanced up at Jin Qing, and said, "You little girl, how can you say this?" ”
Jin Qing laughed, she was only a few years younger than Mama Liu in her previous life, and subconsciously, she just regarded Mama Liu as a big sister who took care of her, not an adoptive mother.
"I asked Uncle Xu if this person can be trusted, what do you think I'm talking about?" Jin Qing deliberately teased.
Mama Liu was ashamed and angry, nodded at Jinqing's head, and said, "You girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, how many ghosts do you!" Besides, I'll let Jin Zhi tell Brother Xu that he doesn't need him to help sell vegetables. ”
Jin Qing hurriedly waved her hand, but don't, she thinks Xu Bin is a good person.
Mama Liu raised her head, glanced at Jinqing and then at Jinzhi not far away, lowered her head and grabbed a handful of vegetables, pinched off the rotten part, and said, "If he can help us, we have to keep it in mind, and we will repay him when we have the opportunity." ”
Jin Qing smiled slightly, listening to Mama Liu's evaluation of Xu Bin, it seems that she still has a good impression of Xu Bin, but she thinks of herself and Jin Zhi, and she is unwilling to wronged herself and Jin Zhi, so she doesn't think about it at all.
Mama Liu has raised her and Jinzhi for so many years, no matter what, Jinqing is not willing to let Mama Liu delay any longer, she is in her early thirties, her family is poor, and she still has two oil bottles, and she wants to get married, only to fill the house or make people small, and she may not be able to find a man with good conduct.
It's just that Jin Qing still has a little doubt about Xu Bin in her heart, they don't know anything about Xu Bin's past, they only know that he is a person with a good character. If you want Mama Liu to get together with him, Jin Qing is still a little worried, so let's observe for a while first.
Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean that Xu Bin will agree, maybe people don't want to get married, and just want to enjoy the single life of one person and the whole family not starving.
When she finished cleaning up the dishes, Jin Qing saw that the sun was already in the west, so she took out the twelve copper plates she earned today from her arms, and counted five for Mama Liu, who saw that she left seven, and didn't say anything, just thinking that the girl was old and had to have a spare flower.
Jin Qing took advantage of Mama Liu's cooking in the stove room, pulled Jin Zhi over, and said with a smile: "Sister bought you meat to eat today, okay?" ”
