Chapter 18: The Jade Pendant and the Silver Ticket
Seeing that the eldest brother was a little hesitant, Xu Xiaoxi immediately took a string of potato skewers to him: "Big brother, you taste it first, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it after you taste it." ”
"Then try it."
The eldest brother took it, took a bite of the potato chips, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Big sister, you are really baked potatoes, why are they so fragrant?"
"It's potatoes baked, I'm not liaring."
The eldest brother ate quickly, and then took out the copper plate and gave it to her, "It's delicious, give me ten cents." ”
"Okay!"
Xu Xiaoxi immediately responded, took the money and brought him a skewer, and wrapped a potato and egg sesame cake for him with lotus leaves.
"This is a potato egg sesame cake for delivery, you can take it!"
The eldest brother may have been hungry, so he took the cake and ate it, and then he was even more surprised, "Big sister, your cake is also delicious, how do you sell it?" Shall I buy some more? ”
"Big brother, this cake is not sold today, only sent."
"Okay, give me another ten cents!"
Many people were attracted by the aroma of the skewers, and when they saw that this big brother bought it for 20 yuan at once, they paid for it one after another.
After a while, Xu Xiaoxi's stall was crowded with people.
Lin Yuli and Lin Yucheng had nowhere to stand, Lin Zhan protected them and stood behind, and at the same time helped Xu Xiaoxi neatly.
Originally, Xu Xiaoxi wanted to attract children to buy, but most of the people around the stall were adults, and children couldn't squeeze in, so they could only squeeze in adults to buy them, and then take them out for children to eat.
Before the morning was over, Xu Xiaoxi had already sold out the things he had prepared in the morning.
Someone wants to come and buy it, but it's gone.
Someone came stupidly, Xu Xiaoxi promised that he would still sell here tomorrow, and he would bring more cakes to sell.
As soon as the words fell, there were many people who wanted to buy them at that time.
Xu Xiaoxi didn't expect that his first business would go so smoothly, everything was sold out, but fortunately, Xu Xiaoxi brought the cakes in advance, and the family of four could still fill their stomachs.
When he went back, Xu Xiaoxi bought more materials, and the ox cart pulled a small half of the cart.
On the way, Xu Xiaoxi counted the money in his pocket, and after buying what he wanted to do tomorrow, he still had two hundred wen left.
She said happily to Lin Zhan, "Lin Zhan, we earned two hundred wen today, and we only did it for half a day today, and there were not many things, so I didn't expect them all to be sold out." ”
Lin Zhan snorted, and there was a bright light in his eyes when he looked at her.
At this time, Lin Yuli and Lin Yucheng also applauded her, "My mother is the most powerful, and she can make money as soon as she gets out of the horse." ”
"Mother's so good!"
Xu Xiaoxi took out ten copper plates from his pocket, and each person divided five of them.
Lin Yucheng and Lin Yuli hurriedly refused, "Mother, we don't want money......"
Before she finished speaking, Xu Xiaoxi said, "Take it, my mother's money is for you, I will go to the city tomorrow, buy whatever I like, and ask my mother to get it if the money is not enough." ”
The two children were very moved, Xiao Li'er cried directly, threw herself into Xu Xiaoxi's arms, and hugged her tightly, "Mother is so good!" Li'er likes her mother the most. ”
Although Lin Yucheng also wanted to cry, he always remembered his father's words, he was a boy, he couldn't cry.
He clutched the copper coin in his hand tightly, and swore fiercely in his heart that when he grew up, he must be filial to his mother and never let anyone bully his mother!
When Lin Zhan heard Xu Xiaoxi's words just now, his heart was also shocked, but he was not like two children, he hid all his emotions in his heart and did not leak anything.
After going back, Xu Xiaoxi started making clothes after packing up the things she was going to use tomorrow.
After two and a half days, Xu Xiaoxi finally made the first dress.
This one is Xiao Lier's, and after it is done, Xiao Lier can't wait to try it on.
After Xiao Li'er's hair was tied up, her round face looked very cute, and she was originally white, but when she put on a light red dress, the lining was even whiter.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Xiaoxi is really the first time to see such a beautiful female doll.
"My mother's clothes are so beautiful!"
Lin Yuli kissed Xu Xiaoxi heavily on the face, and immediately ran out to show off.
Before Xu Xiaoxi walked out, she heard her talking to Lin Zhan.
"Daddy, look, are the clothes my mother made for me look good?"
Lin Zhan stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Yuli seriously, as if he didn't know the girl in front of him.
"It's good-looking, Xiao Li'er is the best-looking."
"Hmph, it's my mother's clothes that look good!"
Xu Xiaoxi walked out, Lin Zhan's eyes immediately locked on her, he looked at her with heavy eyes, Xu Xiaoxi suddenly understood, and there was gratitude to her in his eyes.
I am grateful to her for giving her two children a warm and happy home.
Facing his gaze, this time Xu Xiaoxi did not avoid it in fear, but smiled gently.
After making Lin Yuli's clothes, Xu Xiaoxi also measured Lin Yucheng's size, and after the family took a bath, Xu Xiaoxi saw that the two children were asleep, so he looked at Lin Zhan, who had taken a bath, and said with a red face, "The size of the city has been ripped up, let me help you measure it too!" ”
Lin Zhan snorted and walked directly in front of her to stand still.
Xu Xiaoxi took the cloth ruler and measured it a little bit, this time it was not only three measurements, Xu Xiaoxi even knew how thick his thighs were.
Especially when measuring his shoulders, Lin Zhan was too tall, Xu Xiaoxi could only ask him to bend over, and when he measured the size, his breathing was extremely clear in her ears.
It was the first time for the two to have such intimate contact, although it was just to make clothes, but it also made Xu Xiaoxi blush, and the hand that touched Lin Zhan's back was faintly hot.
After finally finishing the measurement, Xu Xiaoxi hurriedly walked to the side of the bed to sort out the fabric.
When she touched it, she was afraid that she was going to go off.
Lin Zhan looked at her back, pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked to the side, took something, and then turned back.
"I have something for you!"
When Xu Xiaoxi heard the voice, she straightened up and looked at Lin Zhan, with some doubts in her eyes, "What is it?" ”
Lin Zhan raised his hand and handed her a small red cloth bag.
Xu Xiaoxi took it, "What?" ”
Lin Zhan said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxi really opened the red cloth, and inside was a jade pendant, which was very exquisite, and there was also a word 'Zhan' engraved on it, which was worth a lot at first glance.
There was also a silver ticket under the jade pendant, and that silver ticket turned out to be a large silver ticket of five hundred taels.
Xu Xiaoxi's hands trembled, "This-so much silver, what do you do for me?" ”
"This jade pendant was given to me by my mother when I was born, and it is engraved with my words. This was the only money I had with me when I came here. ”
Lin Zhan looked at her and said in a deep voice, "I want to find someone who really lives with me and helps me take care of Cheng'er and Li'er, at first I thought you were unwilling, so I said that I could let you go if I made enough money." ”
"But now it seems ......"
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaoxi looked at him and smiled slowly, "Do you think I'm quite suitable to be a good wife and mother?" ”
Although she was laughing, Lin Zhan still nodded very seriously.
If he hadn't thought she was good, he wouldn't have given her all his net worth.
Xu Xiaoxi clenched the jade pendant and silver ticket in her hand, and when she thought that Lin Zhan handed her not only silver, but also her net worth, a sour feeling surged in her heart
Because she clearly remembered that Lin Zhan's identity in the book was not simple, and he was even wronged, if this jade pendant was known by someone with a heart, it would kill him and his two children.
But even so, he was willing to hand it all over to her for safekeeping, and this heart and trust moved Xu Xiaoxi's heart.
