Chapter 216: The mother and son went to the county seat
Qiao Huaping parked the carriage on the side of the road.
The father-like old farmer, supporting his daughter, saw Qiao Huaping stop the car, and hurriedly came over to say hello.
"This lady," the old farmer hurriedly greeted when he saw that Qiao Huaping was a woman's bun, "My daughter's leg was not very injured by the beast a few days ago, and it was originally a traveling doctor who passed by to help see and treat the wound, but when I changed the dressing in the past two days, I saw that the wound was getting more and more serious, so I thought about taking my daughter to the county medical hall to have a look." It's just that the mule carts in the village are pulling goods outside these days, and there is nothing nearby that can be rented; My daughter's injury couldn't be delayedβI had to take her to the side of the road. β
The old farmer pleaded a little, and took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, "I don't know if I can bother the lady to give us a ride?" I'm willing to pay the lady's fare. β
Qiao Huaping looked at the peasant girl who didn't dare to land with one leg in vain, and said very simply: "You don't have to pay, I was going to the county seat, and it's not a big deal to take you on the way." Come on. β
When the old farmer heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked Qiao for painting the screen again and again.
The children of the Mei family were very sensible, and the four of them sat together, leaving a lot of space for the father and daughter.
It's just that the old farmer waved his hand and refused, and sat on the other side of the board, which was exactly the same as Qiao Huaping, who was driving the car: "It's full of dolls, I'm a bad old man, just sit outside." β
Qiao Huaping didn't persuade him, waved his horsewhip, and drove the car again.
The old farmer was very good at talking, and he talked to Qiao Huaping on the way.
said that in fact, his daughter was really blessed, and she was caught in the leg by a beast trap in the forest before, and a kind person rescued her; This time I went to the county, and she was a kind person who gave her a ride.
He sincerely thanked Qiao Huaping.
When he arrived at the county seat and was about to get off the car, he took advantage of Qiao Huaping's failure to leave, and ran to the side to quickly buy four sugar gourds and gave one to each of the four children of the Mei family.
Qiao Huaping didn't shirk this, and asked the four children of the Mei family to thank the old farmer surnamed Fan.
The peasant girl pouted: "Dad, I want it too." β
The old farmer was very spoiled: "When you finish watching your legs, it's not good to look at your legs with a sugar gourd." β
Qiao Huaping went in to say hello to Uncle Kun, the shopkeeper, and made up a few medicines that were not very sufficient, and borrowed the backyard from Uncle Kun by the way, and parked the carriage in the backyard of the Good Doctor's Hall.
It's all trifles, of course.
Uncle Kun responded, and even enthusiastically took out candy and snacks and stuffed them into the hands of several children of the Mei family.
Qiao Huaping smiled: "Thank you, Grandpa Kun." β
That's what it means to let them pick up.
The children of the Mei family thanked Uncle Kun for taking it.
Qiao Huaping took a small cloth bag, put the candy and snacks given by Uncle Kun into the small cloth bag, and asked Mei Qingyao to carry the small cloth bag on her back, so that a few children could eat at any time.
Uncle Kun's face was full of love: "I know your mother very well, in the future, when you come to the county, remember to come to Grandpa Kun to play." β
"Good~"
Several children responded in unison.
Uncle Kun asked the medicine boy to park Qiao Huaping's carriage in the backyard, and instructed the medicine boy to feed the grass and water; Qiao Huaping smiled and said goodbye to Uncle Kun, Old Farmer Fan, and the girl of the Fan family, and left with the four children.
Old farmer Fan and the girl of the Fan family were stunned.
It was the first time for the four children to come to the county with Qiao Huaping, and it was interesting to see anything.
For a while, they squatted to watch the old man who sold the candy man painting the candy man flying there, and then they looked at the man lying on the ground with a big stone on his chest with a look of amazement, and then they ran to see the wandering artist leading the monkey on the street.
However, they didn't forget Qiao Huaping's entrustment, the elder brother took the younger brother, the younger brother took the younger sister, and the four brothers and sisters must not leave her sight.
Several children are also very well-behaved, even if they have fun, they will look around from time to time, and they do not run too far because of playfulness.
By noon, Qiao Huaping and a few children ate almost from the street to the alley, and tasted all kinds of snacks.
Mei Qinghuang's greedy little thing is like going to heaven, and the light in his eyes has never dimmed from the beginning.
It's just that when he ate to the end, when his stomach was round, he didn't forget to say to Qiao: "It's still the best food cooked by my mother." β
Qiao raised his eyebrows: "My little mouth is so sweet." β
After eating, Qiao Huaping took a few little guys to the ready-to-wear store to buy some ready-to-wear.
Qiao Huaping buys things only the right ones, not expensive ones.
In terms of clothing, the so-called "right" naturally includes the comfort of clothing.
But this comfortable thing is usually not cheap. Qiao Huaping was very bold and picked out three clothes for each of the children, and even bought a few comfortable small clothes for Bai Feiye, who was not present.
Mei Qingyu counted the silver coins, and her eyelids jumped.
He whispered to Qiao: "Mother, you just asked Aunt Song to make me a padded jacket before. I don't wear out my clothes like my eldest brother and third brother on weekdays, so I don't have to buy me new ones. You just buy clothes for you and your eldest brother, third brother, younger brother and sister. β
As soon as Qiao Huaping heard it, he knew that the good cub was distressed about the money.
She rubbed Mei Qingyu's little head with a smile, approached Mei Qingyu, and whispered, "Yuyu, I know you're smart." My mother will tell you the truth, my mother made a lot of money by selling the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng dug in the mountains before, and the body strengthening pill made by my mother was also sold very well, and I could get a hundred taels of silver every month. You don't have to worry too much about money. Clothes, let's buy them when we should. β
Mei Qingyu's eyes widened, only to feel that the blood flow all over her body accelerated, and her heartbeat also accelerated a lot.
He suddenly had a ...... The feeling of being treated with respect as an adult.
My mother is telling him about the situation at home!
He nodded heavily.
After buying clothes, Mei Qingyao volunteered: "Mother, I have a lot of strength, I'll hug me!" Don't get tired. β
Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "Where to use your villain to help." Just let the store send it directly to your grandfather Kun. β
The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store smiled and said, "Naturally. Don't bother the little boy. β
Qiao Huaping bought so many ready-to-wear clothes and spent dozens of taels of silver, which can be called a big customer.
Naturally, the ready-to-wear store is very willing to help Qiao Huaping deliver it to your door.
Coming out of the ready-to-wear store, Qiao Huaping thought for a while, but took a few children to the pen and ink shop.
"The house at home is almost built, and you should also put the matter of reading on the agenda." Qiao said with a picture.
Mei Qingyao actually doesn't like to study very much, he wants to be a general in the future, and he is a little sad when he hears this.
On the way to escape from the famine, he followed Mei Qingyu's enthusiasm for literacy and learned quickly, but if he really wanted to be confined to a good student to study, the little guy was still a little worried.
Qiao Huaping knew what he was thinking, and frowned: "But no general is illiterate." Reading can be through the past and the present, can be reasonable, and can open up the mind. Don't you want to read military books? Don't you want to read the book? β
Mei Qingyao was a little ashamed to say something, and lowered his head.
