Chapter 33 Encounters with Bandits on the Road

In the autumn of the leap month year, the frost fell relatively late, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for more than ten days, and the corn in the field is still verdant and green. It is the season of crop filling, but the weather is unpredictable, I don't know why, this year's rain to the autumn but extra diligent, and directly extend the growth period of crops, it is these excess rain, with thick moisture, one after another, day after day, the villagers are upset.

When I went out in the morning, the sky was still clear, and the sky became cloudy halfway through the carriage. Fortunately, Xiaohong's mother thought of bringing an umbrella, and as soon as the carriage entered the entrance of the neighboring village, before she could open the scale to buy vegetables, it was raining heavily in the sky. The autumn rain is just in time, as fickle as a child's face, it will fall as soon as it is said, and it will stop when it is stopped. The people of the village hurried into their houses to hide from the rain, and the rain was falling so loudly that in the blink of an eye, there was not even a single figure on the street.

Sun Guodong saw that no one came out to buy vegetables, so he grinned, led the horse's halter, and drove the car to the eaves of an empty house to shelter from the rain. He looked at a cart full of vegetables, not a pound was sold, and he was very anxious. But what's the use of being in a hurry, people don't come out to buy vegetables, and you can't go door-to-door to deliver them, no matter how hypocritical you are, you have to wait for the sun to come out before you can do business. In contrast, Xiaohong's mother sat in the car, but looked calm, today's car of vegetables, she picked out by herself, the quality is very good, even if it is a bad rainy day, she does not worry about selling at a good price, she has been selling vegetables for half her life, and she is still quite sure in her heart.

The rain was still falling, Sun Guodong looked up at the sky, the rain went with the wind, and the rain fell here. It's really not raining across the road, don't look at the dark clouds here, but there are no clouds at home and the sun is shining. By this time, Sun Xiaohong had sold all the leeks and peppers on the tricycle, and there were only some cucumbers and eggplants left waiting for the buyer to come and choose.

It didn't take long for the rain to stop. As soon as the sun comes out, the scales are opened. As expected, the carriage parked under the eaves was surrounded by a group of villagers before it could move. Everyone was pointing and pointing, and they bought all kinds of vegetables, radish, cabbage, eggplant, persimmon. You pack a bag, she packs a bag, and seeing that there are fewer and fewer vegetables in the car, Xiaohong's mother finally has a smile on her face.

Some of the villagers were still repeat customers of Xiaohong's mother, and they helped to promote the food while loading vegetables in their pockets, and after a while, they attracted many buyers.

A cart of vegetables, within two hours, was almost sold out. After these people finished buying the food, they dispersed satisfied. When Xiaohong's mother packed up the car box, she saw that there were still a few handfuls of shallots in the vegetable basket that had not been sold, and she saw that there was an old lady with bad legs and feet picking up vegetable leaves on the ground, so she gave her a few handfuls of shallots, and also gave her the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates that everyone picked.

The old lady was not polite, she put the vegetables in the bag, and said a lot of words of thanks, and said that Xiaohong's mother is good at doing business, never short of catties or two, and there will be good fortune in the future.

The old lady is really good at talking, Xiaohong's mother just smiled when she heard this, she nodded, and did not answer. She has been working in the fields since she was 14 years old, and she has been working at home and outside for more than 30 years, and she has never stopped seeing herself one day. When I really enjoy the day, I'm afraid I will soon stop eating the fireworks in the world.

By the time they came out of the neighboring village, it was already noon. The carriage walked slowly on the boulevard, and Xiaohong's mother sat in the trunk, took out a large handful of colorful gross tickets from her purse, and counted them slowly.

"Do you know how much this cart of vegetables sold? I'm telling you, I'm going to scare you! After Xiaohong's mother checked the money, she asked Sun Guodong triumphantly.

"Money in your hands, how do I know how much? What you said made me startle, did I have such an eye for money? Today's cart of vegetables, even if it sells three heads and five hundred more than usual, it is also a normal phenomenon that beads of sweat fall on the ground, which is a normal phenomenon, what do I have to be excited about. Sun Guodong sat on the wheel and said unhurriedly, he raised his whip and gently whipped it on the big white horse.

The big white horse threw its neck back and scurried forward, and it ran easily, and the carriage immediately followed the sound of the horse's hooves, and flew quickly.

"Fortunately, I planted a crop of autumn vegetables in the field, and if the price of vegetables hadn't risen like this, I wouldn't have dared to think that I could sell them for so much money. It seems that this little bit of tiredness has not been in vain, so I can see the money back! ”

Sun Xiaohong's mother said, carefully put the money ticket in her hand into her wallet, these money are hard-earned money, she is not reluctant to spend it, but every time she spends, it should be used on the blade. Because, when you have money in your pocket, you have confidence, and those who don't want to be tired and have no money to spend will look down on those who ask for food when they stand in front of people.

"It's hard to make money these days, so how can you do it without a little effort. Let's take our family as an example, one has no backing, two has no power, and there is no way, so I have to work hard, earn a little money, and my heart is steady. Sun Guodong said, flicked the whip again, and the carriage continued to run forward.

"I'm not worried about being a little tired, I'm worried about our family Xiaohong. Look at this child, usually no one in the family likes to talk, she is twenty-three or four, she stays at home all day, she can do whatever she wants, and I don't know what she thinks in her heart? After Xiaohong's mother closed the zipper of her wallet, she covered her hands with a sad face.

"It's okay, don't look at her not being admitted to college, it's also a little wronged temporarily, and it will be fine after a while. She is not three or five years old, what does she want to do in the future, she naturally knows in her heart, what are you worried about? Sun Guodong said slowly.

"How can I not worry, this is not high, it is not low, it will be a problem to find a partner in the future, you look at Reiko in the backyard, she is a year younger than her, and she has not studied for so many years, so she will go to work in the city at fifteen or sixteen. Now I earn five or six thousand a month, and a few days ago, everyone brought the object back. She's good, she doesn't make a sound at home all day long, as if she is so clear and high, she worries people to death, it doesn't matter if others are not in a hurry, you say, I am her mother, she is like this every day, can I not be in a hurry? ”

"When children are older, they all have their own ideas. She didn't get into college this year, and she didn't feel good. Let's put pressure on her again, and make her unable to live. I think, let's just talk about this behind our backs, don't say it in person! ”

"Xiaohong is like this today, it's all what you're used to. I dare to say that there is something wrong with her. If she is obsessed like this again, she will hurt herself sooner or later! Xiaohong's mother didn't mean to nag, she just hated that iron doesn't make steel, she had a way to cheer Xiaohong up, or whatever, even if she wanted to repeat high school in school, she, as a mother, would not object. However, she didn't say a word every day, and some things were difficult to do.

"You don't have to be angry, you have to be patient in everything, Xiaohong is not stupid, even if she has any plans in her heart, she can't rush it, she has to give her a period of time to think about it. I see, don't that useless heart? ”

The two people were talking, Liu Congxin's truck galloped from the opposite side, when it was about to reach the carriage, the driver of the car deliberately honked the horn, the big white horse was suddenly frightened, like a truck rushed over, fortunately Sun Guodong's eyes were fast, he held the reins of the horse in time, and the horse did not knock down the truck.

The truck driver originally wanted to play a prank, but he didn't expect the carriage to rush madly in front of him, he braked suddenly, and after the tires of the truck rubbed against the asphalt floor, he made a terrible sound, and then a black smoke flew up under the wheels, mixed with the smell of lavender leather, straight to the mouth and nose.

Sun Guodong's hand pulling the reins has not been released, maybe it is too tight, I saw the big white horse put the two front legs upright, tilted his head, and screamed in the ashes, if it was not for the reins pulling behind, it is estimated that it will definitely fight to the death with the truck.

Now, although the carriage and wagon are safe, Xiaohong's mother fell into the trunk one by one, her face was as frightened as dirt, her heart was beating suddenly, she gasped for breath, and clung to the trunk tightly. This sudden scene frightened her all over and her heart beat suddenly.

After the truck stopped, the driver got out of the car brutally, he took off the sunglasses on his face fiercely, and walked towards the carriage with a fierce look.

"Hey, old man, is it because the horse doesn't have eyes or you don't have eyes, in broad daylight, let the carriage and the wagon collide together, why don't you die?" The driver's words were very impolite, so angry that Sun Guodong trembled, he raised his horsewhip and said angrily at the driver's nose.

"Look at you young man is very good, you are so young, you open your mouth and scold, how do you talk? I still want to ask you, I drove the carriage and walked my way, where did I provoke you. If you don't honk, can the horse be afraid? I know that you are wrong first, why do you still complain about me? Sun Guodong faced the unreasonable troubles of the market gangsters, and his face was not afraid.
