Chilblain?

Su Wanniang unconsciously took these two words to heart, and the next day after seeing Xu Junhao and Su Yingjie go to the academy, Su Wanniang got into the carriage and went to the town.

When she came to the pharmacy, Su Wanniang said to the medicine boy who grabbed the medicine: "Brother Lao is tired to help take camphor, fine pungent, miscanthus salt, corrugated ......."

Su Wanniang read a bunch of medicine names, and the medicine boy who grabbed the medicine was still very clever, listening to her chatter, her mouth was anxious and then she immediately started to act.

When Su Wanniang came out of the pharmacy, she was carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs in her hand.

After buying this, Su Wanniang went to the market, and she still needed to buy some mutton fat.

Perhaps because of the colder weather, there are a lot of people in the market at this time, and when it gets later, it is estimated that they will be almost gone.

Su Wanniang turned around and didn't see anyone selling mutton.

After thinking about it, I found a spice seller and bought some at random, and then asked where there was a mutton seller, and then I looked for a place to rush there.

"Goat meat, twelve cents a catty!"

Before she got closer, Su Wanniang smelled the smell and heard the price shouted by the boss who sold the mutton.

Twelve Wen, it's cheap.

Pork is more expensive than mutton!

When I think about the world I've been in, lamb is much more expensive than pork.

Walking over quickly, Su Wanniang found that there were not many people buying mutton. Looking for the memories of the predecessor, it seems that people in the south buy very little mutton, while in places like the north and northwest, people prefer the taste of beef and sheep.

After Su Wanniang approached, she glanced at the small stall and looked at the scarlet mutton, which seemed to be steaming.

"This big brother, what is the price of your mutton, leg of lamb and lamb chops?" Su Wanniang asked.

When the stall owner heard Su Wanniang call the eldest brother very politely, he happily pointed at the places with a knife and explained: "This mutton is twelve wen a catty, the leg of mutton is ten wen, and if you want pork ribs, give a few dollars and take it away." ”

When Su Wanniang heard that it was really cheap, she nodded: "I want a leg of mutton, ten catties of mutton, and all the ribs." ”

Hearing that Su Wanniang asked for a lot, the stall owner was overjoyed and hurriedly weighed her politely.

Mutton is warm, and it is the most suitable time to buy it for nourishment.

There are a lot of people in the family, and Su Wanniang bought a lot. Coupled with the cool weather, she is not worried about the breakage.

The stall owner neatly chopped the mutton, a full ten catties. The leg of mutton was also cut off from the thigh according to what Su Wanniang said, and even the ribs were a whole pair.

"This lady, this is what you wanted, and I put you here."

Su Wanniang said while taking out the money: "Big brother, how to sell the mutton fat?" Give it to me and go back and boil the oil. ”

The stall owner glanced at the mutton fat that had been thrown into the basket behind, white flowers, but useless. He said heartily and generously: "These are worthless, and they don't taste good, if Madame likes it, take them!" ”

Originally, I also thought that no one would want to lose it, and no one liked the taste of mutton fat.

The two talked about skin care again, and Shang Zisu was reluctant to let Su Wanniang go, and finally reluctantly let her go back.

Back at Su's house, Su Wanniang began to sort out the flower seedlings that were growing well in the space before dinner and transplanted them into pots.

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, when it comes to the New Year, if there is such a red, green, and green color, it can also add a touch of joy.

After finishing all this, Su Wanniang went out of the house and saw the two children coming back.

"I'm back! Meals are ready right away! ”

Kong Miaoyu saw the two children, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she neatly sped up the speed of stir-frying, and Tao Xiangru, who helped to light the fire, did not feel a smile.

Su Wanniang saw that Xu Junhao didn't talk much when he came back today, and she was a little curious.

It's just that the meal has already started, so she goes to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and get the bowls.

It wasn't until after the meal that Su Wanniang returned to the room and pulled the little guy to ask, "Does Jun Hao have anything on his mind?" Maybe tell me about it? ”

The little guy is a smart one, but he is too sensible and thoughtful.

Hearing his mother's soft-spoken question, Xu Junhao bit his lip and explained in a soft and glutinous voice: "Mother, the child only found out that the life of his classmates around him is so difficult today. ”

When Su Wanniang heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then understood.

This little thing, I'm afraid that when I see others having a bad time, I feel bad for it!

It's a soft-hearted and kind child!

"Oh? How tough is it? Su Wanniang led Xu Junhao to continue.

It stands to reason that if the average family is a gifted child who studies well, he will naturally hope to get ahead by reading. What's more, the Tianchu Dynasty also emphasizes martial arts, and the two are comparable!

Generally, people who can go to Xishan Academy to study are still passable.

You can give a few taels of silver every season, but ordinary people are also a little difficult.

Xu Junhao didn't know what his mother was thinking, and said: "The child only saw today that he brought his own dry food every day and hid to eat. The child had never eaten those coarse grain cakes, and I heard Yingjie's cousin say that the coarse grain cakes pulled the throat, and only the poor could afford to eat them. ”

After thinking about it, Xu Junhao continued: "And the child also found that he only had one pen, and one end was broken. The paper is written on one side and the other side, and these children have never noticed it. Even his clothes were washed white and frayed, and he was still wearing them. On such a day, he has not yet put on cotton, and he can still be seen running around sweating every morning. ”

seemed to be too pitiful and surprised to think of this, Xu Junhao's expression was a little wilted.

Su Wanniang paused, and then spoke: "Then Jun Hao thinks, what about the poor?" ”

Xu Junhao looked up at his mother, and said without thinking: "They are very pitiful!" ”

The child's mind is very simple, and the idea is also very simple!

Su Wanniang continued: "Then Jun Hao thinks, is your classmate good or bad? He's like this, will you hate him, hate him? ”

As soon as Xu Junhao heard this, he immediately said: "Mother, the child thinks he is very good, and Mr. always praises him!" And it's not his fault that his family is poor, and the children won't dislike him or hate him! "Because, he and his classmates are good friends!

"Then do you think he's wrong in the house?" Su Wanniang smiled and continued to ask.

These words made Xu Junhao think for a while, shook his head and replied: "The child thinks that his family is not wrong, I heard that in order to let him study, the family is frugal. ”

Su Wanniang nodded: "Well, then think about it again, your father and your grandfather." When I was in the northwest, I heard your grandmother mention that when your father was young, life at home was not easy, and your father was the same as your classmates. Poverty is nothing, we are afraid that poverty will bend our backs and make us lose our way! ”

Rubbing the child's hair, Su Wanniang found that Xu Junhao's study at Xishan Academy was still beneficial, at least more extensive than staying at home before. He can think for himself and judge for himself. This made Su Wanniang very pleased.

didn't say anything more, Su Wanniang took Xu Junhao to wash up, and then took him to sleep.

seemed to be still worried about the affairs of his classmate, Xu Junhao tossed and turned, and finally, under the dim oil lamp, he muttered: "Mother, I saw him go to wash the dishes and chopsticks by himself, his hands were frozen red, and he also had chilblains......"

Su Wanniang didn't speak, and after waiting for a while to turn her head to look, she found that the child had fallen asleep unconsciously.
