Chapter 50: The world is in turmoil

At noon on a hot day, Yan Lao Er rode away on a bull again, taking away a large bag and a small bag.

The people of the village have become accustomed to him running outside every day.

Probably because I ate meat in the morning, the big guys were not very hungry, and they ate steamed buns casually, and the fire didn't start.

Li Xuemei also pulled the eldest girl in to work together.

There were a lot of straw sandals, enough to wear for a while, so they decided to weave straw mats.

The mats of each family are tied to the car to shade the sun during the day, and they are used to spread the floor at night, grinding out holes.

"Sister of the Hu family, I'm really sorry, your second brother Yan somehow brought the straw hat you lent to Erya." Li Xuemei looked apologetic: "When he comes back, I will find out and return it to you." ”

"What my sister-in-law said, what is a straw hat worth, I gave it to Erya." The youngest daughter of the Hu family hurriedly said: "When my sister-in-law and Second Brother Yan see each other, they have to say that they will borrow, but they will kill me." ”

There was a sister-in-law next to him who quipped: "Hahaha! The two Yan brothers were taken away? Sister of the Hu family, you wait, maybe I can get you an egg when I turn around. ”

Everyone talked and laughed, no one really thought that Yan Lao Er would be able to bring things back in such a hurry.

I didn't expect hey! It's really making everyone wait.

"Are all those straw sandals sold?"

"Sold!" Yan Laoer's face was full of red light, "I happened to meet the merchant who went to the village, and when he saw that I was selling cheaply, he took it all away, I thought that I could sell a little bit of it, and I didn't care too much about the one or two pennies."

The merchant also bought those old clothes, and I asked him what they were for, but he wouldn't say anything......

Turning around, he collected some grain from the village on the side.

The people in the iron pot village stayed, saying that they would save a trip to the town.

Today is simply a lucky star, I saw a little green from our first out, riding a bull to see, good guys, there is an old elm tree hanging a lot of strings, all let me come back, not a single leaf left.

The medicine bag that my eldest brother Cui prepared also came in handy, the weather is hot, it may be that he has eaten something unclean, there is an old man in the village who has an uncomfortable stomach, hehe, as soon as I say what symptoms our medicine treats, what herbs are in it, and those who understand it in the village will stay......"

Yan Lao Er's Balabala, what he said is called a foaming mouth.

He used his best to convince all the people of a village.

The small half bag of coarse noodles was taken out for everyone, and no one thought about being reasonable or unreasonable, and there was only the joy of exchanging food in their eyes.

The youngest daughter of the Hu family gave a little more, and it is said that the merchant saw that the straw hat was delicate and bought it.

She's dizzy, and straw hats can be sold?!

Yan Lao Er secretly wiped his sweat.

In order to change the stuttering food for the villagers, it was too difficult for them.

Sneaking around, you have to make up reasons, and think about whether you can make people believe it.

Fortunately, you don't have to do such things every day.

Cui Langzhong felt that he could go farther in the daily rest time, see if he could find some herbs, save more, and maybe when Yan Lao Er would sell them to him, in his mother's words, Yan Lao Er can really do it!

The women in the village even tasted the sweetness, and planned to return to their old business after weaving mats, and continue to weave straw shoes, well, add straw hats as well.

"You say, what does the merchant want old clothes for?" Someone thought of this stubble.

Someone answered as a matter of course: "Old clothes are useful, they can paste the soles of shoes, and make hundreds of clothes......"

"If we make shoes, I don't know if Yan Lao Er can help us sell them."

"What do you want? Our water is so tight, how can we boil the pulp. ”

"It's okay to make a few insoles."

"You can prepare a few, if you can't sell them, let's keep them and wear them ourselves."

"Yan Er's family, what do you say?"

Li Xuemei was asked, and said with a smile: "I listen to the words of my sisters-in-law, it makes sense, prepare a few more things, and I can't prepare what people want." ”

"What are you going to do here?" Someone saw the work at hand and asked.

"It's not a child, her father always has a big bag when he goes out, it's inconvenient, I think about making him a bigger blanket and putting it on the back of the cow, which also saves him the trouble of holding it."

"And the picture? Yo! What is this? Looks like ...... Like a cloth bag for our children. ”

Li Xuemei smiled and said: "It's just that you think of it when you carry your children, make a few bags that you can carry, so that your two hands can be free to do something else." ”

"That's good, if you make it, let's make one for each of us.

This is drawn by Erya? I see that your second girl has been learning to read and write with Xiucai recently? ”

"His uncle has nothing to do to teach a few words, and the second is a piggyback, mainly my eldest nephew, his uncle watches it closely, and he is not allowed to relax at all."

……

Yan Yu was on the bunk, using the notebook that her mother sewed for her to keep accounts.

The price of the goods on the shelves, how many things are sold, and what is traded in the free market and received from the villagers, all have to be recorded.

"See what I brought you?" Li Xuemei climbed up and showed her what she was holding.

"This is a charcoal strip, wrapped in a cloth like this, you can write on paper, they use this to draw patterns, I think it is better than that brush, you try."

Yan Yuyi was so excited that he almost shook his face.

"Mother, you really saved me, let my father repair my shape, didn't it become charcoal, woo woo, mother, why didn't you bring it earlier."

Your girl's little wrist is going to break!

"You still have to practice calligraphy, otherwise your uncle won't be able to pass it."

Li Xuemei agrees with the uncle's training of his daughter, and she is not pressed by her art.

"This is still your sister-in-law Luo saw the backpack picture you drawn, otherwise how would I know that there is such a thing."

Yan Lao Er quietly came over and beckoned to the two.

Yan Yu packed up his pen and ink and held the book in his arms.

A family of three tacitly walked to the place where they carried people.

"I really found out that there is a town nearby, and the scale is not small, much larger than ours." Yan Lao Er whispered.

Yan Yu: "Don't we have to avoid the people of the yamen?" There is a guard at the entrance of the town, right? I went in and checked and asked for money. ”

"That town is very chaotic, I don't care if there are few officials, and they don't care if the people go in and out."

Li Xuemei's expression became serious: "Why don't you care?" Do you elaborate on it? What are the people who come in and out. ”

"That's it...... It's just ......" Yan Lao Er thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, the people who came in and out, old and young, dragged their families and brought a lot of things, he was far away, he couldn't see it really, but he felt that these people were quite anxious.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yu blurted out: "They can't be the same as us, they are all fleeing the famine, right?" ”

saw that her father and mother were staring at her and didn't speak, and her heart was furious: "I guessed!" ”

Li Xuemei said seriously: "Calculating the time, it should be that the grain tax has just been paid now, and the grain collected by each family has gone to pay the tax, and there is not much left."

What would have happened if it had been us? ”

Needless to say, isn't it obvious that they appear here?

I'm sure I'm going to run away!
