Chapter 12: Entering the City (3)

Next to the grain and oil shop is a small road of about 100 meters, gathering some farmers and small craftsmen to sell some daily necessities, Rui Xue squatted on the side of the road to pick up some dishes, raised his eyes to see that there is a wooden box on the inside of the stall with a set of white background blue and white tea sets, it looks very elegant, so he asked the stall owner, "Boss, how to sell this tea set?" ”

The stall owner glanced at her and said with a smile, "This tea set is my old father's handiwork, I can't make such a good thing, if it weren't for the children in the family who didn't have enough money to go to school, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." This little sister-in-law bought it back, it was to give it away, not that I bragged, as soon as this tea set was sold, it was absolutely decent, and I didn't want a high price, just five taels of silver. ”

Rui Xue frowned when she heard this, pouted and smiled, "Brother stall owner, you are not kind, this tea set is worth two taels of silver, why do you want five taels?" I still have something to do, and I won't talk to you too much, if you sell, even these dishes will be counted together, and it will be enough for your children. ”

Today's business is not good, this stall owner picked up the dishes and put them for a few hours, only to wait for Rui Xue to be such a big buyer, this stall owner is really reluctant to get the silver soon, so he was ruthless, nodded and said, "Okay, I sold it, a total of two taels or three dollars." Ruixue secretly paid the silver, and the stall owner checked that the silver was in good condition, and put on an extra set of chopsticks.

Rui Xue went in again and bought fifty eggs and a plate of small stone mills with a diameter of more than one foot, gave the stall owner who sold the dishes a few pennies, asked him to take care of it for a while, and then immediately ran to the butcher shop opposite, bought five catties of pork belly, five catties of posterior, and spent a full one or two halves of silver,

When she turned around to go out, she saw more than a dozen pork bone sticks on the edge of the board out of the corner of her eye, and she was cut to no trace of flesh, I was afraid that the puppy would shed tears when she saw it, she casually asked the price, and the proprietress of the butcher shop was also stunned, or the first time someone wanted to buy a bone stick, so her eyes rolled and she asked for two pennies and a pound.

Rui Xue was overjoyed, and she bought ten catties in her heart, and the proprietress got a windfall, and enthusiastically helped tie her with hemp rope and send her to the door. There is a tea house not far from the side, Ruixue bought two taels of Biluochun and two taels of Longjing, and was afraid that it would be stained with blood in one place, so she carefully stuffed it into her arms. The street vendor shouted loudly, causing her to buy two more packets of fried noodle fish and half a catty of peanut candy.

The coachman who had already rented the carriage had very sharp eyes, and when he saw that she had a lot of things in his hands, he looked around, so he ran over to ask, and said a few words and decided to send her back to Yunjia Village, and the sundries bought in the market were directly loaded into the car, and went all the way to the cloth village, the grain and oil store, and the wood shop, loaded a bunch of things, thanked those bosses and guys, and went straight to the south city gate.

Sister-in-law Zhang was standing by the city gate with an anxious face and looking around, with a big bamboo basket at her feet, and when she saw Ruixue jumping down from the carriage, she shouted in surprise, "Oh, sister, you are here, where have you been, but I am in a hurry, if I lose you, how can I explain to Mr. Zhao when I go back." ”

"I'm tired of my sister-in-law waiting for a long time, I bought a lot of things, so I delayed some effort, let's get in the car first, let's take the car back." As she spoke, she moved the bamboo basket and threw it into the car, and took Sister-in-law Zhang to sit in the back of the car together.

The carriage clattered out of the city, walking on the dirt road, from time to time bumping so that the objects in the carriage collided, Sister-in-law Zhang looked at the bowls, stone mills, cloth, grain and oil, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, why did you suddenly buy so many things, where did you get the money?" ”

Ruixue ran around all morning, and her stomach was unbearably hungry, so she turned out a bag of fried noodle fish, divided half of Zhang's sister-in-law, and threw a big munch while saying, "When I was a maid, I was in charge of the lady's meal, and I knew a lot of dishes and snacks, and I wrote two novelties last night, and I sold them to the restaurant today, but I didn't expect the boss to be very generous and gave me twenty taels of silver." My sister-in-law also knows that there is a shortage of everything in my yard, so I just need to add some to this opportunity, and besides, the body of our shopkeeper is not good, so we must eat some good food to make up for it. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled when she heard this, "I just see that my sister is a capable person, she can't say anything, she just writes a recipe and changes so much silver, if her sister is developed in the future, don't forget to bring her sister-in-law one or two, and let me also earn some dowry silver for the third girl." ”

Rui Xue remembered that if she opened a tofu workshop, she would definitely need someone to help, so she responded, "Okay, I should be my sister-in-law, and in a few days I will think about two snacks to eat, do some small business to supplement the family, and if the business is good, I must ask my sister-in-law for help." ”

Of course, Sister-in-law Zhang knew that what she said about helping, it couldn't be for nothing, there would definitely be wages, so she immediately thanked her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, sister-in-law can't do anything else, but she has the strength to do it, and you can tell me when the time comes." ”

While the two were talking and laughing, Rui Xue had already eaten up the noodle fish in her hand, but when she saw that the half of the pack in Zhang's sister-in-law had not moved, she guessed that she was reluctant to eat it. A pack of noodles and fish costs ten cents, the farmer is already bitter, it is not easy to eat a full stomach, I rarely buy these snacks on weekdays, and today I accidentally got half a pack, of course, I have to leave it to the child.

Rui Xue couldn't help but pantothenic acid in her heart, and unconsciously remembered her mother in her previous life, strictly speaking, her mother was a little incompetent, blindly immersed in the grief of losing her father, and forgot that there were three children waiting to be fed, so that she had to drop out of high school and go home to take on the livelihood of the family, her mother was bedridden for more than ten years, and her temper gradually became irritable, and in the last two years of her life, she even often beat her, but occasionally when she was clear, she would hold her hand and cry, nag and say sorry to her, and asked her to find a good man to marry, At that time, I was really tired, and I didn't hope for early liberation in my selfish heart, but when her mother really died, she suddenly realized that her mother's home was empty...

The carriage ran over a small stone, pulled Rui Xue out of her memories in the bumps, barely cleaned up the sourness in her heart, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Zhang, don't save it, first eat the noodle fish to pad your stomach, I just bought an extra pack, and peanut candy, all of which are prepared for Da Zhuang and them." After speaking, she took out two large oiled paper bags from the clay pot and stuffed them into Sister-in-law Zhang's hand.

Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly pushed, "Sister, this is unacceptable, you teach Dazhuang to read every day, and your sister-in-law doesn't thank you, how can you let you spend money to buy food for the children." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite to me, it's worth a few pennies! How many days you cared for me when I was seriously ill, and if you counted carefully, I owe you more. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang heard her say this, thought about it, then accepted two oiled paper packets, and said with a smile, "That sister-in-law accepted it, don't mention anything you owe in the future, but it's just to send food and rub medicine, but it's all a trivial matter, and anyone can help it." ”

Medicine? Ruixue suddenly heard this word, and immediately exclaimed, "Oops, I forgot to go to the pharmacy." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was taken aback, thinking that she was going to give Zhao Fengnian medicine, so she comforted, "Don't worry, sister, Mr. Zhao's illness doesn't need to take medicine." At the beginning, when the people in the village had just saved Mr. Zhao's household and came back, he was not injured, but he was unconscious, the villagers invited Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse, and Lang Zhong could not diagnose what the disease was, everyone thought he could not live, but he did not expect him to wake up by himself, and he could teach the children to read, but this less than two months, he was in class and fell into a coma, this time it was the goddess of Dongshan Ao, the goddess said that he was rushing to the black god, and he wanted to become a relative and rush to the joy, and it would be good to wash away the evil spirit, and it happened to save you again. The elders of the clan will be the masters and marry you. No, Mr. Zhao woke up, and the people in the village said that Mr. Zhao was ill before, and it was useless to drink medicinal soup, and besides, you have blocked the black evil god for him, and it will be smooth in the future, rest assured. ”

Rui Xue secretly stuck out her tongue, feeling a little guilty in her heart, in fact, she exclaimed because she forgot to buy some fine stones for tofu, and she didn't remember to buy medicine for Zhao Fengnian at all.

In her previous life, she received an atheist education, so naturally she didn't believe in any black gods, but he did not heal himself, which was really a bit weird, but she didn't plan to ask anything from him, he looked gentle and silent, but he was actually very stubborn, and he didn't necessarily tell her the reason honestly.

However, it can also be seen from this incident that she is not qualified to blame Zhao Fengnian for not thinking about her in everything, because she also didn't take him, the nominal husband, to heart, and only felt that taking care of his diet and clothing was considered to be responsible, but in fact, it was perfunctory.

Since the two are destined to get married, live together together, and sleep in the same bed every night, do you also have to learn to treat each other sincerely, after all, life is going to get better...

In the afternoon of late autumn, the sun is not as blazing as in summer, nor has it become as cold as winter, warm and soft shines on the earth, the harvested land outside Yunjia Village is like a mother after giving birth with a quiet smile, so peaceful, the small courtyards in the village are close to each other, adobe, green bricks, strange neat and harmonious, the smoke drifts to the sky with the companions, a good and beautiful pastoral scenery.

Rui Xue and Sister-in-law Zhang looked out of the window, and couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money, it took an hour in the morning, and they were so tired that their legs were filled with lead, so they rushed to the city, and the return trip only cost thirty yuan, and the joke was about to arrive.

Sister-in-law Zhang stretched out her head and tried to look towards the entrance of the village, and said with a smile, "We're going home." ”

"yes, it's home." Rui Xue let out a long sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth also smiled, no matter what time and space it is, it is a happy thing to have a home.

Da Zhuang and his younger siblings were standing and squatting beside the stone pier in front of the door while playing, while waiting for his mother to come back, he saw a carriage coming from a distance, and several children did not dare to step forward.

Sister-in-law Zhang stuffed the oiled paper bag in her hand into Da Zhuang's hand, and said with a smile, "Take it first, this is the food that your master and wife bought." The three children cheered and saluted and thanked him, and Rui Xue waved his hand and smiled and asked the coachman, together with Zhang Dahe, who heard the movement and came out, to help move the things into the house, and then paid for the car.
