Chapter 50: Learning from the Natives

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Yes, this sister-in-law." My master moved back to his hometown from the north, and we were the servants they bought in the north, and the accent was not here, which made my sister-in-law smile. ”

"Oh, I see!" This sister-in-law has a bit of smugness in her eyes, she is a good citizen, and she is superior to a slave.

But when I think that the other party has a master, it is a big family, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, you can't bully, and you have to be polite when you speak.

Just in line up, the sister-in-law chatted a lot with Liu Paner.

Liu Paner inquired about many things, such as buying vegetable seeds, buying oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and going to the grocery store not far away; If you want to buy and sell grain, cattle and sheep, you have to go to the East Market; If you want to buy cloth, you have to go to the West Market.

When chatting with this sister-in-law Zhao, Liu Paner also found that the people in the south are really rich, even if ordinary farmers only have a few acres of land, they are enough to live and have a surplus. If you are diligent at home and raise silkworms, your family will have an extra income and live quite richly.

Liu Paner has strong language skills and can basically understand Sister-in-law Zhao's words. She then inquired about how to grow rice and various vegetables.

Sister-in-law Zhao bought a few catties of grain and left.

Liu Paner carefully observed the local dialect spoken by the locals when they were buying grain seeds, and practiced in a low voice.

Li Dabao watched his mother learn the local language seriously, and he actually learned it very similarly.

What surprised Li Dabao even more happened, by the time it was their turn to buy grain seeds, his mother was already able to buy grain seeds proficiently in the local language.

The young man was very busy, and he thought that Liu Paner was a local, so he didn't dare to bully, and he didn't dare to lose two catties, so he weighed a thousand catties of good seeds in full and packed them in ten hemp bags.

Six bags of hemp were placed on the ox cart and four bags were placed on the ground, waiting for Village Chief Li and Li Dashan to come.

Li Dabao gave a thumbs up, "Mother, you are so good, you can speak the local dialect so quickly." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "If we want to stay in the local area, we must learn to speak locally, otherwise we will never be able to integrate here and be rejected by the locals." You're still young, so you're better at learning, but don't be lazy. ”

Li Dabao nodded and spoke to Liu Paner in the local dialect, "Mother, I know." ”

Liu Pan'er praised, "It's not bad, let's listen carefully and learn while the village chief hasn't come yet." ”

The mother and son, both smart and studious, quickly learned a lot of sentences, and the two of them also talked to each other.

Village Chief Li and Li Dashan drove the ox cart back, and both of them were a little angry, feeling that it was too expensive to buy, but they had to buy it.

Li Dashan and Village Chief Li sighed while carrying the grain to the cart, "Village Chief, we don't know how to speak the local dialect, we suffer a loss." ”

Li Dabao nodded, "Grandpa the village chief, we can't speak the local language, it's really not good, we have to learn it often in the future." By the way, my mother has a good way, even if you don't speak the local dialect, you won't be bullied. ”

Village Chief Li was curious, looked at Li Dabao, and asked, "What is your mother's good way?" ”

"My mother said that we are servants who go south with our master, and we can't speak the local language. For the sake of big families, the locals don't dare to bully us openly. Li Dabao replied, he heard it from the conversation between his mother and the sister-in-law Zhao.

Village Chief Li suddenly realized, "Yes, I'll say so in the future." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "That's also something that can't be helped, so I have to do it as a last resort." When we settle down in the local area, we must learn the local language. Okay, uncle, you watch the ox cart, I'll go buy some vegetable seeds, and buy some salt. ”

The people in the village asked her to bring things and come to the county seat once, and buy everything she could.

Because Liu Paner learned some local words from Zhao's sister-in-law, plus the names of various oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and vegetable seeds, she was not discriminated against or bullied when she bought seeds at the grocery store.

Li Dashan couldn't help but praise, "This Yuanqing family is smart, and he can speak the local dialect in such a short time after coming to the county seat." ”

Village Chief Li also sighed, "Along the way, thanks to the Yuan Qing family." Literate and arithmetic, but also martial arts, the background must not be simple, Yuan Qing is lucky, married such a good daughter-in-law. ”

"It's just that this Yuanqing family used to be very bad, very fierce, and it was not good for children." Li Dashan whispered, very curious about Liu Paner's changes.

Although Village Chief Li had heard of what Liu Paner had done before, he rarely saw it with his own eyes after all, "Yuanqing's family, she became a stepmother at such a young age, and she is not happy to be replaced by anyone." Coupled with Yuan Qing's parents, they treated others harshly.

It's difficult for a woman with four children to farm. You see that now you can raise the child well, escape all the way, and keep the child, it is not easy. How it was before, let's not be demanding, just look at the future. ”

Li Dashan also nodded, "What the village chief said is that the Yuan Qing family has already bought it, let's go back quickly." ”

Liu Pan'er put a bag of things on the ox cart and personally drove the ox cart out of the city behind the ox cart of Village Chief Li.

Because the ox cart was pulling hundreds of pounds of things, and there were still people sitting, the speed was very slow.

The old scalper was tired and panting with his mouth open, and Village Chief Li had to stop and let the scalper eat some grass and drink some water.

Liu Paner took advantage of the rest time to collect a lot of colorful flowers on the roadside and weave them into several garlands.

Because she was busy with her journey today, Liu Paner didn't have time to go to another street to buy a red head rope and break her promise to her daughter Ah Rong, so she used a garland instead.

After resting for a while, Village Chief Li hit the road again.

In order to reduce the weight, except for the person who drove the cart sitting on the ox cart, the other person had to get down and walk.

In this way, he finally returned to the place where Lijia Village was settled before dark.

Zhou Cuihua was relieved and urged her eldest son to come to the village entrance and wait.

"Daddy, you're back!" Li Yuanjia hurriedly shouted excitedly and ran over to help push the ox cart.

The old scalper is tired today and is exhausted now.

Li Yuanjia shouted at this voice, and the people in the village came over to help.

The sacks of rice seeds on the ox cart were carried to the bamboo shed.

Li Nan and Li Xiaobao were very happy when they saw their mother's return, and rushed to Liu Pan'er, "Mother, mother!" ”

Liu Paner held a garland in her hand and put it on Li Nan's head, "I was busy traveling today and didn't have time, I didn't have time to go shopping, so I only made a garland for you." When I go to the county seat later, I will definitely buy you and your sister a red head rope. ”

Li Nan wore a garland and turned around in front of Liu Pan'er, "Mother, the garland is very beautiful." Are these for the sisters? ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Yes, take it and put it on for my sister!" ”

The child is sensible, Liu Paner is very happy, but also a little sad.

She wants to work hard to earn money and improve her life. Not only do they have to eat, but they also have to buy new fabrics to make clothes, buy beautiful headflower jewelry for their daughters, and let their sons study.
