The whole car is not corrupted, but some of the paint on it has been lost. It can be seen that the people who built this car did take great pains, and the wood used was of the highest quality. There are handrails on the side of the car, and a shed is added to it, so that it can be used as a carriage.

Zhihua looked at this car and was very satisfied. This is jujube wood, there is wood!

If I was just going to come and see it, then now I have made up my mind.

Buy, must buy!

"Uncle, how much do you want for this car?" Zhihua touched the car and asked about the price.

"Hehe, this car was bought from the countryside a few years ago, and it only cost 500 yuan at that time. Since you want it now, give me 500 yuan too. You didn't bargain when you bought the mule, and now you just give me a capital for this car, and we can count it as a good fate. The dealer smiled and didn't raise the price.

"Abel, is this true?" Zhihua is a bit unbelievable.

"Of course, what did I lie to you little girl!"

As soon as Zhihua heard the seller's words, he immediately pulled Grandpa Fang's sleeve. "Grandpa, hurry up and pay, this car is very good, I want it."

Grandpa Fang looked excited when he saw the painting, he was not an ignorant person, he naturally knew the materials of this car, and the five hundred yuan was naturally earned by himself.

I didn't hesitate to pay the 500 yuan at the moment.

Let's go! Let's go!

When he walked out of the alley on a mule cart, Zhihua was still a little incredulous.

Now she's a car owner, right?

Hehehe, it's so open!

"Okay, no matter how happy I am, my mouth will crack to the root of my ear!" When Grandpa Fang saw Zhihua's stupid appearance, he couldn't help but say a blow.

Zhihua rubbed his face, "How can there be." Am I not happy? Our family now has a mule and a car made of jujube wood. After that, when they go to school, they can ride on a mule cart. When it's winter, let's add a shed to it, lay some mats or something in it, it's comfortable and warm, and you don't have to be afraid of freezing and rain when you go out, and you can also take the little guy out to play with Zhishu, so how good! ”

As long as I think of the scene of the family traveling on a mule cart in the future, Zhihua's heart suddenly bubbles with beauty.

It's really nice to live and work in peace and contentment like this.

Grandpa Fang also thought of the appearance of a family outing, and couldn't help but show a happy smile.

Yes, the girl is right, when the time comes, the family will go out together, it will be a lot of fun.

Here, the grandparents and grandchildren are immersed in the joy of sharing the joy of family, but Wu Peiye is full of loneliness over there.

In his life, he did his best for the country and never married, and he had no children and no daughters in his life.

originally thought that he didn't crave family affection, but when he came to this ordinary farmhouse, he met Grandpa Fang and them, and looked at the old brothers who were about the same age as him, with a wife, children and grandchildren, and a family of three generations living together, happy, and his heart couldn't help but start to envy.

But don't be afraid. Although he won't have a son in his life, he can still have a granddaughter.

Zhihua, this little girl is not bad, if she can be her godfather, Wu Peiye is also very willing. It's just that I still have to find a day for this matter, tell Grandpa Fang and them seriously, and then ask for the child's opinion.

After all, people's feelings are a big thing, and both parties have to be willing, which is a good thing, otherwise you can do bad things with good intentions.

made up his mind, and Wu Peiye was also happy.

"Draw girl, where are we going next?" Wu Peiye saw that the direction of the mule cart was not going to the shop, so he asked curiously.

"Oh, sir, aren't we going to build a chicken farm? I thought that I would not let the workers go home for dinner at noon, so we would just make them dinner. It also saves them time by running back and forth. Today I'm going to go to the pork shop to order a pig, and by the way, buy some plate oil or something to go back to oil refining. I don't have to use it when I need it, and I'm in a hurry. ”

Wu Peiye listened to Zhihua's explanation and stopped talking, and sat quietly on the mule cart, looking at the pedestrians around him.

After a lifetime of hurrying, I thought that building a career was the whole meaning of life. Now sit on this dilapidated board car and look at this backward town. Wu Peiye suddenly seemed to have rediscovered the meaning of life.

Such an ordinary but hard-working life, able to live a life of affection and love with his family. Isn't that another meaning of life?

At this moment, Wu Peiye suddenly brightened.

The speed of the mule is still very high. After a while, the three of them arrived at the vegetable market.

There are still a lot of people in the vegetable market, and it is not convenient to enter by car.

"Grandpa, I'll just go in and talk to the stall owner, don't go in, there are a lot of people inside, it's not good to be careful and hit someone again." Zhihua looked at the people who were rubbing shoulders inside, and turned his head to the other grandfather and said.

"That's all there is to it, go by yourself, be careful, and bring this silver with you." Zhihua was very relieved to speak, he took out the silver from his sleeve and gave it to Zhihua, and after a few more words, he was released.

Zhihua took the money and turned around and left.

"Hey, painting girl, don't be in a hurry to leave, wait for my old man." Wu Peiye shouted, jumped out of the car, and hurriedly caught up with Zhihua's footsteps.

"Huh? Sir, do you want to come in with me? Seeing that Wu Peiye was chasing after him, Zhihua asked suspiciously.

"Of course, otherwise I'd be following you." Wu Peiye said as a matter of course.

Zhihua is a little tangled. "Sir, the vegetable market is full of rotten vegetable leaves, and people are crowded to death, so are you sure you want to go in?"

"Yes, of course." Wu Peiye replied without hesitation. "I've never been to the vegetable market before, let's hurry up, don't delay."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the vegetable market.

Zhihua was helpless, so he hurried to follow.

Pork Rong's meat stall is doing well as always.

"Hey, this is your pound of fat, you take it." Pork Rong shouted and handed a piece of meat threaded with straw rope to an aunt outside the stall.

The aunt stretched out her hand and checked it, knowing that there was no shortage of catties or two, so she happily put the meat into the vegetable basket, responded with a peace, and turned away.

Seeing that there was no one in front of the stall, Pork Rong took the big knife in his hand and sharpened it on the whetstone.

I happened to see this scene when I came.

"Uncle Rong, business is booming!" Zhihua greeted with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's you little girl. What are you going to buy today? Hurry up and say, uncle will cut it for you. "Pork Rong looked like he had bought meat in his shop, and he was not afraid of his little girl. Seeing that she was greeting herself, she was very happy to wave to Zhihua.

Zhihua came to the stall from the good, followed by Wu Peiye.

"Uncle Rong, my family wants to refine some lard, how much oil do you have left? Weigh me all, right? With a wave of his hand, Zhihua ordered all the lard.

"Little girl, are you sure you're going to put all the lard down? I still have 20 catties of lard here, are you sure you want them all? Pork Rong asked tentatively.

"That's natural, I don't dare to deceive Uncle Rong." Zhihua smiled and affirmed.

Since Zhihua has already said so, Pork Rong is not hypocritical. He raised his big knife and cut the lump of lard into several pieces, and weighed it on the scale.

"Well, it's a total of twenty-one pounds and four taels, even if it's twenty-one pounds. This lard is fifteen cents per catty, a total of three hundred and fifteen cents. Pork Rong Ma slipped the account clearly.

Zhihua watched Pork Rong's movements, knowing that he didn't deceive himself, and he also happily counted out more than 300 copper plates and gave them to Pork Rong.

Pork Rong took the copper plate and praised it. "The little girl is doing things well!"

"That's it!" Zhihua also accepted it without modesty.

"Uh, hahaha......" Pork Rong didn't expect Zhihua to be so cheerful, and he didn't react for a while. When he reacted, he immediately burst out laughing.

"You little girl, you really don't know how to be modest!"

"Why! Uncle really praised me, why do I have to pass the buck, wouldn't that disappoint my uncle's attention. "Zhihua is right.

Pork Rong didn't think that Zhihua would say this, I have seen too many hypocritical people, and there are really not many people who can say their thoughts so bluntly, and for a while, Pork Rong attaches more importance to Zhihua.

"Uncle Rong? Uncle Rong? Seeing Pork Rong staring at him, he couldn't help but call out.

You must know that Pork Rong kills pigs all year round, and he is full of evil spirit.

Ordinary children are scared to cry when they see him, although Zhihua's mind is mature. But being stared at by a fierce-looking person like this is also very scary.

"Oh, girl, what's wrong?" Pork Rong finally came back to his senses.

"It's not a big deal, our family is going to build a house recently, and we want to book a pig with Uncle Rong. Do you think so? ”

"Oh, you're going to build a house, congratulations." As soon as Pork Rong heard that the Hua family was going to build a house, he hurriedly congratulated him.

"I borrowed Uncle Rong's auspicious words, but this is just a matter of booking pigs, do you think it will be done?" Zhihua is back to the original topic.

"What's not to do, don't talk about one pig, three pigs can be booked. As long as your family finishes eating, are you afraid that there will be no pigs! ”

"Haha, that's true. It's just that our family is busy at that time, and this pig has to trouble Uncle Rong to send it to our house. Zhiqin scratched her head a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, the villagers are not far away, send a pig or something, it's just a gesture." Pork Rong generously agreed to this matter.

"That's good." Seeing that the matter of booking pigs was negotiated, Zhihua's heart was also relieved.

Their family already has few people, and now Pork Rong can provide door-to-door service, of course, it is the best.

"Girl, when will your family build a house? Shall I send it to you when the time comes? ”

"Oh, the specific date hasn't been decided yet, and when the house is set, I'll have someone bring you a letter."

"That's okay, but you have to pay a deposit for this predestined pig..."Pork Rong was a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, the other party was a little girl he valued very much. However, the rules of the market have always been like this, and he can't fail to abide by them.

Zhihua is not angry, it is originally such a rule, but she is new to the city, and she is not very proficient in the process of handling things. "Uncle Rong, I don't know how much I have to pay for this deposit?"

"Oh, I have to pay two taels of silver, this pig will cost almost four taels of silver to buy, and half of the deposit must be paid" Pork Rong saw that Zhihua was not angry, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, and quickly explained this matter with a smile.

"Uncle Rong, this is two taels of silver, you have collected it, when our family has set a date, you will come to deliver the pig, and I will pay you the rest of the money at that time." Zhihua happily took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Pork Rong.

Pork Rong took the silver and put it in his arms, and said happily, don't do it, don't do it.

Zhihua smiled and said goodbye to Pork Rong. Picking up the oil he bought, he turned around and walked out of the vegetable market.
