CHAPTER XVI
Su Mo took his three children through the streets and alleys to a remote street.
The outside of the shop is filled with all kinds of furniture, as well as bamboo baskets and other things.
Su Mo took a fancy to a low bamboo bed at a glance, and it was cool to lie on the bamboo bed in the hot summer.
Just ask the price, it takes three taels of silver, not only that, but the cheapest wooden bed also costs two taels of silver, Su Mo is staggered, she only has one or two taels of silver left on her, which is not enough at all.
In desperation, Su Mo had to leave with his three children, Gu Ping'an followed behind with his things, and asked with some doubts: "Mother, why do you want to buy a bed?" ”
This will be the end of the day, the hottest time of the day, Su Mo's back basket is also heavy, not to mention still holding Gu Xingnian, sweating profusely.
But hearing Gu Ping'an's question, she still patiently explained.
"Men and women don't sit at the same table at the age of eight, you and Jinnian have grown up and can't sleep in the same room with your sister anymore.
Mother is thinking about buying you a bed, so that you can sleep in the east side room, and Xingnian will sleep with me. ”
Gu Ping'an seems to understand.
Gu Jinnian glanced at Gu Xingnian, his eyes darkened, and he still didn't open his mouth to refute after all.
The group soon arrived at the place where the ox cart was parked, and Wang Taoqing was also there, which surprised Su Mo.
Wang Taoqing is specially guarding here, when she went back in the morning, she found that Su Mo and they were not there, recalling the Gu family's trouble a year ago, so she kept an eye on it, ate a meal, and came to the county in an ox cart.
She wanted to go over, but she was afraid that Su Mo would think she was too attentive, and after thinking about it a thousand times, she still sat on the ox cart and said a few words with Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai scratched his head, and he didn't understand why his sister-in-law asked him not to say that she had just come to the county as an ox cart, but when his sister-in-law spoke, he still listened.
"Look at this sweaty man, give me the apricot year, you sit down and rest."
Su Mo and the others had already arrived at the side of the ox cart, Wang Taoqing hurriedly got up with a smile, and reached out to help take Gu Xingnian.
is so enthusiastic, Su Mo is still a little uncomfortable, but Chen Cihai and his wife are warm-hearted and known to the entire Luoshan Village, so Su Mo didn't think much about it, and returned a grateful smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
She put the basket aside, carried Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian into the ox cart, and then sat on it herself.
The shed shaded the scorching sun, and the breeze blew, bringing a trace of coolness, and Su Mo exhaled a long breath.
The ox cart will not go back until six o'clock in the Shen hour, not far from the shed, this sundial is placed, Su Mo glanced at it, and the shadow of the sundial needle fell between the end of the time and the time of Shen.
That is to say, he had to wait for six quarters of an hour, and it was a little embarrassing to sit dryly, Su Mo's eyes swept over the nearby shops, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't bought honey locust liquid.
She hurriedly stood up, and Wang Taoqing on the side saw this and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There are some things that still need to be bought, sister-in-law Wang, can you please take care of the three children?"
The sun is too hot, take it with you, for fear of getting heat stroke to the child.
Wang Taoqing heard Su Mo's words clearly, and nodded with a smile: "It's a big deal, you can rest assured." ”
Su Mo smiled and thanked him, and then told the three children to stay here obediently and not to walk around, and then left.
Acacia liquid can be used for laundry, bathing, and hair washing.
It is considered a necessity of life, so every grocery store sells it, and the price is no different, so Su Mo picked a nearby shop and bought a large can.
Clouds suddenly accumulated in the sky, blocking the scorching sun, Su Mo walked towards the ox cart with the jar in his arms, and when he passed by a pastry shop, his steps were ......
……
"Mother~"
Gu Xingnian stood up and waved his hand at Su Mo, who was walking slowly, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Su Mo smiled, walked over, put the jar down, and put the pastry into the basket.
There was really no one in the afternoon, and he waited until six quarters of an hour in Shen Shi, and no one came, Chen Yuanhai pondered that there should be no one, so he helped Su Mo put everything on the ox cart.
Just as he was about to whip people away, someone ran from the street: "Wait for us ......"
Chen Yuanhai glanced back, it was the village's mother-in-law Wang and her daughter Wang Yingying, he quickly stopped and waited for the two to come over.
When Mrs. Wang saw that the car had stopped, she breathed a sigh of relief, took her daughter's hand, and the two of them slowed down.
walked leisurely and leisurely, and when he arrived at the ox cart, Mrs. Wang's inverted triangular eyes swept over the ox cart, not hiding the disgust on her face at all.
The smile on Wang Taoqing's face froze, and she shouted a little reluctantly: "Uncle." ”
Mrs. Wang raised her chin and said "um".
"Taoqing, it's not my uncle who said you, this business also divides people, how can anyone be allowed to take our ox cart!"
After that, she also looked at Su Mo with disdain, as if she was looking at some kind of plague god.
Wang Yingying on the side did not hide the disdain in her eyes at all, her delicate little face was a little hideous, and she found that Su Mo was looking at her and glared at her viciously.
Su Mo was confused, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized.
It's an old thing.
Gu Dalang is a good-looking person, different from other men in Luoshan Village, he is tall and strong, and he is the object that many girls in the village want to marry.
This Wang Yingying is also one of them.
Her family originally looked for a matchmaker, and went to Gu's house to talk several times, but was cut off by the original body.
Zhuyu is in front, and Wang Yingying can't look down on the family affairs mentioned later, resulting in being twenty years old now, and they haven't married yet.
Mrs. Wang is another spicy person, and since Gu Dalang's death, she has slandered her original body in front of the villagers.
between the two families, so enmity.
Wang Taoqing's face was a little ugly, Mrs. Wang pretended to be her uncle, and she never gave money when she took an ox cart on weekdays, but now she said it even more ugly.
But it's not good to talk back, her father gave birth to her, but it is her uncle's family, in addition to Wang Yingying, there are three sons, and her father and mother are thinking about succession to their name, and they tell her to have a good relationship with her uncle's family every New Year's holiday.
But they didn't want to think about it, if this uncle and mother were willing, they would have passed away as early as when the cousins didn't remember, and it wouldn't be that the three cousins were about to get married, and they didn't have any words yet.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, swept her gaze over the sundial, and changed the subject: "Uncle and mother took Ying Ying to see it?"
I heard that my mother said that the man's family opened a shop, and this marriage will be blessed in the future. ”
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she said it, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of the pot, and Wang Yingying's eyes suddenly turned red.
If Wang Taoqing couldn't see this, she would live in vain, she smiled and moved to the side.
"What, uncle and Yingying come up quickly."
Mrs. Wang sat down with a calm face, she was already fat, and when she sat down, there was no vacancy on the ox cart.
Wang Yingying's eyes became even redder, and when she thought that the good marriage that originally belonged to her was intercepted by Su Mo, she was so unmarried that she was still not married, and she was humiliated today, and her heart was panicked.
She looked at Su Mo viciously, pointed to the things on the ox cart, and opened her mouth to scold:
"This ox cart is for people, not for pulling goods, take so many things to occupy a position, do you want face?"
