Cui'er carried a burden on her shoulders, and at both ends of the burden hung the wicker baskets that Lian Qingshan had recently knitted, and while it was still early, she walked with Aunt Lu and them on the path to the town.

The flat burden on Cui'er's shoulders is a round wooden flat shoulder with the thickness of her arm, smooth and strong, but it is quite weighty to start, plus two stacks of wicker baskets, Cui'er didn't feel too tired at first, but after walking on this mountain road for a quarter of an hour, she felt that her shoulders were very heavy, and her skin was grinding pain from coarse cloth clothes, and she couldn't bear it.

"Qingshan's family, you have a lot of picks for this thing, give a few to the eldest lady to help you hold!" Aunt Lu held a basket in her hand, looked at Cui'er's body and bones were very weak, and picked out so many wicker baskets, so she said a little unbearable.

"That's it, my aunt will help you get a few too!" The weather was slightly cool, but Cui'er's forehead was already sweating, thinking of the situation in Qingshan's house, as well as the good temperament of Cui'er's daughter, Aunt Chunzhu couldn't bear it.

"Sister-in-law Qingshan, I'll take it for you too!" Huazhi, who has been in a state of excitement, heard that he also wanted to help, this Huazhi is tall in life, although there is less gentleness and grace of some girls, but his personality is refreshing, and he has the style of Aunt Lu.

"It's okay, I can hold it now, and when I really can't hold it anymore, I'll ask you for help." Cui'er replied with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her cuffs.

Cui'er knows in her heart that she doesn't have any way to make money now, if this wicker basket can be sold for money, she can't say that she has to rush to the market like this to sell the basket, and then use the silver money from the sale of the basket to buy grain.

"Qingshan's family, this is the ...... of your head" Aunt Lu still wanted to persuade again, but suddenly found that Cui'er's head was white, compared with the color on her face, the white and clean place on her head looked like a boiled egg, white and delicate.

"Ah, I forgot...... It's the ash at the bottom of the pot...... "Cui'er heard Aunt Lu ask, and suddenly remembered that her face was smeared with ash from the bottom of the pot, and now she is sweating and then wiped it just now, it is estimated that this face is very wonderful now." Cui'er hurriedly fanned her face with her sleeve to let the sweat go down a little, and then wiped the ash on the bottom of the pot on her forehead with her hands.

"Ash at the bottom of the pot? You girl......" Aunt Lu looked at Cui'er's crystal clear skin, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Cui'er meant, she sighed, she didn't know whether to say that Cui'er was smart, or that she was so talented, but she could only fill the house for Lian Qingshan.

Cui'er looked at Aunt Lu sighing, naturally just by looking at her expression, she could guess seven or eight points what she thought in her heart, she stood still, picked up the flat shoulder with a different shoulder, and put her hand on the flat shoulder, reducing the shaking of the flat burden, and then smiled at Aunt Lu again, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

There was nothing to say all the way, and after less than half an hour, the mountain path gradually became wider, and the road that could only take a narrow carriage was slowly wide enough to be able to run two carriages in parallel, and the people on the road gradually increased, pushing the wheelbarrow and carrying the burden, it seemed that they were all people from the nearby villages who were ready to go to the market.

"Qingshan's family, this is the town in front of us, our backing mountain is still close to the town, if it is a nearby village, it will take more than an hour to get there!" Aunt Lu pointed to the front and said, and what came into Cui'er's eyes was the town.

Cui'er and the others stood on the mountain, and the town was looked down by Cui'er, only to see that this town was built on a large piece of rare flat land in the mountains, rows of houses were scattered, and several roads in the middle were in the middle of the town, with people coming and going, bustling and lively.

"It's a lively town." Cui'er looked at the crowd of people, her eyes lit up, more people mean more customers, if there are more customers, her wicker basket should be able to sell, Cui'er's heart quickly calculated, thinking about how to sell this wicker basket well, in exchange for a few months of rations.

"That is to say, although this town is in the mountains, there are a lot of people coming and going, there are a rich grocery store, I heard that there are three or five times, and there are fresh materials brought back from outside, we came early today, we have to hurry up to take a look, maybe we can buy fresh materials, and when the time comes, it is the best to use the yam as a dowry!" Aunt Lu said with a smile, and after drinking with Aunt Chunzhu, she took Cui'er and Huazhi to the Qian family's grocery store.

What Cui'er was thinking about was to sell the basket in her hand, "Auntie, if I don't go, I want to find a place to see if I can sell this wicker basket." ”

"This ...... It's okay, then you and I go to the grocery store first, there are a lot of people over there, and you can find a place to put a basket, maybe it can be better to sell. "Aunt Lu is not reluctant, Cui'er sells baskets to make a living, Aunt Lu knows very well.

"It's okay, then I'll go with my aunt!" Cui'er heard Aunt Lu say this, nodded immediately, and suddenly thought that this wicker basket doesn't know whether the grocery store can accept it or not, if the grocery store can collect it, it is the best, if you can supply the grocery store for a long time, then you can put your heart in your stomach.

With Aunt Lu and Aunt Chunzhu, who are familiar with the way, they crossed two streets and arrived at the door of the Qian family's grocery store.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!" Aunt Lu and Aunt Chunzhu saw that there were not many people in the grocery store, but there were three or four women in the piece selling cloth, so they hurriedly went in together, Huazhi took a step behind, and saw that her mother and aunt had entered, but they did not follow directly, but walked to Cui'er.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to go in and have a look?" Huazhi's big eyes were shining, and her slightly dark skin was shining in the sun, obviously full of anticipation for this grocery store.

"I'm ......" Cui'er quickly swept around the things in the grocery store, and saw a wicker basket for sale in a corner, Cui'er's face showed a little excitement, "Huazhi, you follow Aunt Lu to take a look, I'll go in and ask if the wicker basket is accepted in this shop." ”

"Hey!" Huazhi listened to Cui'er's words, responded with a smile, and followed Aunt Lu and their footsteps into the grocery store.

A tall and thin woman of about twenty was walking across the street, it was Lian Qingshan's younger daughter-in-law Dong, with a happy look on her face, and she was carrying a large strip of pork in her hand, swaying and shaking, looking like she was three or four pounds.

"This Dong family is willing to spend money to buy so much meat?" Cui'er watched the Dong family walk away, didn't care, and walked into the Qian family's grocery store.
