Qi Sanshun saw that the three of them were sitting on the bare kang, and they didn't even have a kang table, so they were holding the bowl and were about to have breakfast. The little guy couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't know what to do next.

Ye Xinyan put down the bowl and said to him with a smile: "It's Sanshun, we've already boiled the paste, so we won't go over to eat." Do you remember telling my uncle and grandfather that my second grandfather and I are going to the county to buy some household things in a while, and when we come back late at noon, let my uncle and grandfather not worry. ”

Qi Younian greeted Sanshun and said, "Has Sanshun had breakfast?" The second grandfather's bowl hasn't moved yet, so you use the second grandfather's bowl to drink some mush. ”

There are only three bowls for the road at home, but they have just served them and have not yet started to eat. Otherwise, it's really embarrassing, and I'm embarrassed to let people eat.

Sanshun hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, our family is also drinking mush, I'll go back and eat." My grandfather is still waiting. After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

The second grandfather's family is too poor, there is nothing, not even a nest, how can you drink enough just to drink wild vegetable paste?

Ye Xinyan watched Sanshun run away and said with a smile: "It's good to still have relatives to worry about." ”

Qi Younian was also relieved that he finally returned home. Although I have been away from home for so many years and now I have returned rashly, the feeling of being in my hometown is still down-to-earth and warm. Yesterday, the three brothers had already discussed, and when they were busy with farm work in the past few days, the three of them went to their father's grave to pay respects and told their father and mother that he had come back as an unfilial son.

Ye Xinyan drank the mush, remembering his uncle's dissatisfaction with the fourth aunt Pang yesterday, and asked casually: "Grandpa, yesterday my uncle and grandfather seemed to be not very satisfied with the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, do you know why?" ”

"I didn't look right yesterday, and since your uncle didn't mention it, I didn't ask much. Let's take a look at it later, if it's something on the surface, maybe you can know without asking. ”

Qi Younian also saw that the eldest brother was dissatisfied with the third brother and the nephew in the third room, but he only came back, and the eldest brother didn't say anything, he didn't want to inquire much, and he really didn't know what the reason was.

Yesterday I was in a hurry, and only two rooms were cleaned up, and the yard was still cluttered. After breakfast, leaving Mama Jin to continue to clean up the yard, Qi Younian drove the donkey cart and went to the county seat with Ye Xinyan to buy things for daily use at home.

Qingyuan County is not a small county seat, Qi Younian drove the donkey cart, walked for more than an hour, and when he arrived at the county seat, the market in the county town was already very lively.

Leading the donkey cart, although it is not very convenient to walk, but I am not afraid of not being able to hold things when I buy things.

Ye Xinyan looked at the seller's eyes, and was not afraid of death and went through the price of the items that needed to be bought. In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought all the things he planned to buy in the first batch.

While taking out the money, she muttered distressedly: "I think those things we have in Miyi County are all good, so I sold them for a few dollars." Now it costs dozens of times more money to buy it again. ”

Qi Younian followed her funny, and didn't persuade her, just watched her stingy bargaining with others, and knew a little more about her granddaughter in her heart.

It is said that Ye Zi is the eldest lady of a big family, and just looking at her ex-husband who met on the road, she knows that her family should be regarded as a wealthy family. On weekdays, you can see that Ye Zi really has everyone's demeanor, but sometimes the little family spirit that he shows is really not like a woman who grew up living a luxurious life.

Pots and spoons, bathing utensils, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables, plus cotton and lining noodles for three more bedding, cost more than six taels of silver.

Ye Xinyan helped Qi Younian tie the things he bought tightly in the car, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't spend too much silver." ”

Qi Younian smiled when he heard it: "More than six taels of silver, it's not much." Looking at the way you grit your teeth when you buy something, I thought that when you settled the account, you might not know how to be heartbroken. I didn't expect to open it all of a sudden, and I actually said that the silver didn't cost much. ”

Ye Xinyan blinked, "I, did you grit your teeth when you bought something?" "No, that's a shame.

Qi Younian felt funny, "Why not, and muttered that people are black-hearted, and the things they sell are expensive to death." ”

"That...... It's not like I've never bought something seriously, how do I know what the market is? I thought it would cost us a lot of money to buy so many things. ”

Ye Xinyan was very embarrassed, she was just subconsciously, feeling that she was very poor and had no security. In fact, there is no concept when spending money, you know, you can't save the money you have to spend.

Qi Younian put a small bag of broken rice on the car and asked in surprise, "What are you buying this for?" Although it is broken rice, it is much more expensive than mixed noodles, and the cooked rice is not very good. Do you want to drink white rice porridge, but you are reluctant to buy serious white rice? ”

It seems that Qi Younian is still living a good life, if it is an ordinary poor family, where can he understand the difference between the taste of broken rice and serious white rice.

"What did Grandpa say? I'm so greedy. Ye Xinyan rolled her eyes at Qi Younian in disgust, and then whispered, "I thought of a snack, let's try it with these broken rice, if the taste is still good, I think, we can set up a stall in the county seat to buy breakfast." ”

She is so quiet not because she is a child, but she is really afraid that people will hear that broken rice can be used for food, and what should I do if the price of broken rice rises at that time?

Qi Younian watched Ye Xinyan bargain with the shopkeeper of the rice shop and bought these broken rice. This broken rice is left from the bottom of the warehouse, and it is really broken. This kind of thing, the poor dislike it expensive, the rich don't look down on it at all, and what is made from it, where is anyone willing to spend money to sell it and eat it.

His leaves gritted his teeth and disliked that other people's things were expensive, but he also mysteriously bought a small stone mill. I grinded and chirped where people sold stone mills, and I found this smallest stone mill in the corner and bought it.

The stone mill was so small, it looked like an ornament, and I didn't know what she was going to do.

Qi Younian didn't want to hit his granddaughter either, so he only thought in his heart that when the family settled down, he would take over the work of a mason in the town. I have good craftsmanship, as long as I do it with my heart, I can always feed a family of three, and if I save a little, I can save more dowry for Yezi.

The purchase plan is quite satisfactory and does not cost too much money. Ye Xinyan was happy, and bought a few baked cakes at the bazaar stall, planning to go home and eat them together with the vegetable batter.

It was too late to drive the donkey cart back to the village, and seven or eight children were running and playing at the entrance of the village. There is nothing new in the village, and the old / second brother, who ran away in the early years of the Qi family, has returned, even if it is a major event in the village, the children naturally know about it.

At this time, when they saw the donkey cart and the two people on it, the children felt fresh and laughed with the donkey cart.

Qi Younian slowed down the speed of the donkey cart, smiling and shouting at the donkey all the way, and told the children to be careful not to fall.

When I raised my eyes again, I saw a three- or four-year-old child on the path not far away, dragging a basket, looking around with his head down as he walked, and suddenly walked a few steps to the side, waving a shovel, and shoveling something into the basket.
