Chapter 19 Catch up with the big set
Early the next morning, Meng Hongyuan went to work after breakfast.
After he left, Cui Xiaoyan moved the green onions that were bundled yesterday to the door, and specially found a big bamboo basket to put the green onions in, and then held the child to cool off under the white fruit tree in front of the door.
Considering that the summer sun is still quite poisonous, and the child is small, Cui Xiaoyan also specially brought a goose-yellow woolen hat to her daughter, which looks very cute!
She thought that if these green onions could be sold, of course, it would be good, and if they could not be sold, she would give them to relatives and friends, and it would not be wasted after all.
So the mentality is not very anxious, leisurely holding the red calf in his hand to make his daughter happy.
However, I don't know if it was because of the rain just after the rain, and the crops in the field did not need to be watered, so there were not many pedestrians coming and going on the road.
In addition, their village originally had the habit of gathering in large places, and as far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of goods sold on this main road, although it was not as lively as the vegetable market in later generations, but it was also a unique scene in this era.
Her mother's teasing of the baby really attracted a few passing aunts to come together in front of the door and talk non-stop.
"This child is so white, and his big eyes are pleasing to look at, is your family a boy and a girl? How old is it? ”
An aunt in a sweatshirt asked, she was holding a big basket in her hand, she should have made a special trip to catch the big set.
Cui Xiaoyan looked at her staring at the little daughter in her arms with a face full of affection, and the people at that time were also simple and had no bad intentions, so she said, "It's a girl, it's been more than six months, and because she rarely takes it out, she looks white." ”
I don't know if it's because Meng Yufan has been taking spiritual spring water since he was a child, so he looks smarter than ordinary children, and it is easy to arouse the favor of others.
Hearing her say this, a trace of envy flashed in the aunt's eyes, she gave birth to two boys in succession, and she wanted a girl with all her heart, but when she gave birth to her youngest son, she was fined a lot of money, so she would not have any more children.
Thinking that she will not have a daughter in the future, she may like what she lacks, every time she sees a beautiful little girl in someone's house, she is envious, and she wants to look at it twice.
After glancing enviously for a few times, he turned his eyes to the bamboo basket in front of him.
The green onions, with their leaves still standing upright, look like they have just been plucked from the ground.
It's just raining now, so the fresh green onions on the market haven't come down yet, and every household eats dried green onions.
Seeing that the green onions were all washed clean, and there was not even mud underneath, I couldn't help but feel more satisfied.
"How much is this green onion a pound?"
Hearing that she was interested in buying it, Cui Xiaoyan also knew the price in advance, so she said conveniently, "Three cents a catty." ”
"Okay, let's get a pound."
Hearing that the price she sold was not expensive, the aunt was also very cheerful, and asked for a pound very neatly.
Because their green onions are relatively thick, there are about five or six pieces per catty, and her mother didn't count them too thin, so she asked the aunt to pick six of them directly from the bamboo basket.
may be the reason for having the first customer, and many people came to ask one after another, some of them thought this and that, and some of them paid and left very neatly.
In less than a morning, a basket of green onions was sold.
Seeing the scattered banknotes in her hand, Cui Xiaoyan probably calculated, there should be three or four yuan.
In the era when pork was only eight cents a pound, three or four yuan could actually buy a lot of things.
Seeing that it was still early, he simply put the bamboo basket in the yard, closed the gate, and then took the child in his arms and planned to go to the market to buy some poultry.
The land in their yard is already full, but they can come out around a small corner and raise some chickens, ducks and geese.
However, small poultry are generally not easy to meet, and if she can't buy them at the market, she can only try her luck at her mother's house.
It may be that the heavens are more favorable, and they really let them meet the seller of poultry in the market.
Looking at the fluffy chick in front of him, Meng Yufan also had a rare return to his childlike innocence, and giggled.
After successfully buying a pair of geese and four or five chickens, Cui Xiaoyan took her daughter home satisfied.
But I didn't think about it, I just sold a green onion, which caused a lot of turmoil.
Meng Yufan has been more than six months, and Meng Rui has been more than three months, and when he heard that Fei Juan was going to catch up with the big set with the child, he immediately choked Zhu Juan.
When she gave birth to her eldest daughter, she had a good physical foundation, and she was the first child, so she was very careful when she was confined, and she basically didn't dare to go out.
But this time she finally gave birth to a big fat son, how could she bear it, plus she thought it was a second child, so she didn't take it seriously, and sat down for the whole month, not to mention that her figure had changed, and even her face was much uglier.
It looks like the whole person is several years old, and I don't know why, the body is like even the bones are exposed to the wind, and the whole body hurts when I see the wind.
"Xiaojuan, your younger brother and sister didn't think they looked so good-looking before, how did they give birth to a child, but they were beautiful again, didn't you see that group of people praised her today, they all gave birth to babies, how good-looking they can be!"
Hearing her best friend say this, Zhu Juan glanced at Meng Rui on the bed, and lowered her voice.
"Where did you see that? Doesn't she always go out? ”
Hearing her ask, Zhang Guihua opened her mouth and said, "It's right at the door of her house, selling green onions, if you want me to say Xiaojuan, you were still stupid, how good the location of the house next door is, close to Daji, it's convenient to sell something or something." ”
Hearing her say this, Zhu Juan's heart was also shocked.
But the house was chosen by their family first, and they also thought that it was far away from the main road and more secluded, so they chose this house, and now when they heard that Cui Xiaoyan could sell things at the door of their home, their hearts began to feel uncomfortable.
She is used to taking advantage of everything, and now she feels that she has suffered a loss, and it is strange that she can feel comfortable.
When Zhang Guihua was not married, she played with Zhu Juan, and it happened that the two of them found the object of the same village again, and the relationship became closer in the past two years.
Thinking of what her friend said, Zhu Juan couldn't sit still, picked up the child and prepared to go back to her hometown, Cui Xiaoyan didn't send the extra green onions to her hometown, but sold them herself, she had to go over and say a few words.
And it's getting dark, so I can go back to my hometown for a meal.
didn't think about it, just when I arrived at the door, I saw Cui Xiaoyan who came to deliver green onions.
When I saw her, I saw her white and tender face, wearing a long cotton dress, her hair was casually caged, and the whole person looked very radiant.
Before, Cui Xiaoyan was thinner than her, but her face was a little yellow, and she didn't look outstanding.
I didn't think that after giving birth to a child, I would look even more beautiful.
I looked down at my stomach that had not yet disappeared, and suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.
