17 major purchases
The plate oil was bought, the clothes were also ordered, and in addition to the cloth village, Li Changhui also bought three strings of sugar gourds for them.
Well, Lin He also has a share.
Lin He is the cook he bought, and he says to the outside world that he is his daughter-in-law and the mother of the children.
But for Li Changhui himself, looking at Lin He, who is only fifteen years old and looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, is similar to looking at Li Yu.
Li Yu is a male baby, although he eats rough and wears tattered, he is full every day, plus the Shen family has Li Changhui's salary and silver subsidy, the family is not short of money, Li Yu and Li Hao are naturally not as bitter as Lin He.
It can even be said that it is a very leisurely wave of little children, and the most common thing to do in the village is to tease cats and dogs, and they are also very fast.
Fifteen-year-old Lin He, compared to seven-year-old Li Yu, is only a head taller, in Li Changhui's eyes, is he not the same as a child?
So when he bought sugar gourds, he bought a bunch for Lin He too, which was a matter of course.
Of course, eating snacks makes Lin He more comfortable.
It wasn't until there was only one sugar gourd left that I found that many people on the street were staring at me, and their eyes were a little strange.
Be all abroad.
Lin He muttered in his heart, eat the last one, it's really delicious, sweet and sour.
Throw the bamboo stick on top of a small pile of garbage on the side of the road, step on a stone, and stumble.
Lin He's mind flashed, and he hurriedly turned around: "By the way, Brother Hui, shoes!" We're going to buy shoes too! ”
Her voice was not small, and many people around heard it, and they all looked sideways at her, "What are you doing with this little woman?"
Li Changhui kept walking: "I told the shopkeeper, when I was in Buzhuang just now, didn't Aunt Chen measure the size of her shoes?" ”
Hey? Have you measured it?
Lin He thought about it carefully, as if when she leaned over to look at the things that Aunt Chen had written, Li Changhui had indeed said something to Aunt Chen.
It's just that she didn't hear it.
Later, I remeasured them, and she didn't care.
"The grocery store has arrived, aren't you going to buy a clay pot? See how big it is, you can also ask about cotton seeds, there are few cotton plants near us, if you want, you can ask the shopkeeper to help ask when you buy outside. ”
Li Changhui motioned for Lin He to follow.
As for the other two small ones, although they were scurrying around on the street, their eyes were always staring at their parents, and at this time, they saw Lin Changhui running towards the grocery store and had already run back quickly.
"What do a few customers want to buy, don't look at the small shop, but there are a lot of things, even if the store is not available for the time being, you can go outside to collect it for the guests."
As soon as they entered the door, a young man hurriedly greeted him, smiling, waving his hand, and showing the two of them the things in the store.
It's all things for daily use, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous things, and they are placed on various shelves.
Lin He glanced over, and there were many things that he hadn't expected, and he decided to buy them back at this time.
There was also a row of spices in the corner that she had only seen yesterday, but she didn't expect such a small shop to sell spices.
"I'll take a look first, take one of these brooms, the big broom won't be needed, there is a big bundle of bamboo strips behind the house, just tie two."
Lin He said and picked out a broom with sorghum ears, this is to clean the room, the family is already bald, and it is not easy to use.
The big broom is tied with a large handful of thin bamboo leaf branches, tied to a suitable wooden stick, and dried for two days, the leaves fall off, and it is very convenient to use it to clean the yard.
"This clay pot is good, take a small one, and buy a larger stew."
When I picked up the clay pot, I saw more than a dozen brightly colored shuttlecocks in the bamboo basket next to it, which were clearly made of pheasant feathers.
Lin He turned his head: "Brother Hui, can you catch live pheasants and hares, if you can catch them, we can try to raise them ourselves." ”
Lin He's eyes were shining, hunting was not a long-term solution, and he still had to find something else to make a living.
"By the way, there are still chickens and piglets who haven't seen it in the market today, ask Chen Changsheng when you go back, they have been living in the village and know a lot of people, let your uncle help inquire."
For the sake of the pheasant last night, presumably the uncle will not refuse.
Li Changhui handed over the broom and clay pot that Lin He had taken a fancy to the young man guarding the shop, and nodded: "Okay." ”
When the young man saw that it was opened, his face was also smiling: "Pheasants and hares are not so easy to raise, they can easily die, so it is better to sell them directly for money." ”
Lin He hasn't refuted it yet, she has spiritual power, and she will definitely be able to support her.
However, Li Changhui glanced at the young man: "If you die, you will die, how can you know if you can feed if you don't try." ”
Li Changhui's faint glance, the young man instantly smiled awkwardly, and with a stiff expression, he went to the counter with his things, so that it would be convenient to check out later.
After that, I also selected a few bamboo sieves and small baskets, etc., and it is best to replace all the shabby things at home.
Most of the men in the village can weave, and the women can sew, weave baskets, dustpans, and make clothes and shoes, all by themselves, and do not have to spend money outside to buy them.
But none of them will be able to.
After turning around, I felt that everything I wanted to buy was almost done, and I took it all to the counter at the door.
"Do you have any cotton seeds in your store?"
The seeds of other grains and vegetables, when they were separated, were divided, and there was no need to buy them for the time being, only she wanted to grow cotton on a whim, but there were no seeds.
"Cotton? There are very few people in Yonghe Town who grow cotton, and if you want seeds, you are afraid that you have to go to the county seat. ”
"The county seat, is that gone?"
She didn't even know where the county seat was.
Li Changhui asked him to settle the account: "Since there is one in the county, the boss will help bring some back, you can pay the deposit first, and I will pick it up in a few days." ”
"No problem, I'm going to the county seat tomorrow to buy goods, about six days, you can come and get it in six days."
After settling the account and putting all the things in the basket, the few people went straight to the grain farm, there was still a lot of grain at home, but what they wanted to buy was polished rice and refined flour.
Li An is still young, he can't eat brown rice, it is not easy to digest, and he can only eat boiled soft rice porridge, or fried rice rice, ground into a fine powder, and brewed with boiling water.
I bought a few more eggs, and adults can also eat pheasant and rabbit meat, Li Ang can't, but it's so big, it's time to eat something nutritious, egg custard is a good choice.
"This egg costs a penny, it's not expensive, buy it directly in the village after eating, I just came to Xiang'an Village, you haven't been in the village for ten years, the people in the village are very unfamiliar with us, a little trade, and we can get closer to the village."
When they raise their own chickens and have eggs, they don't have to buy them.
Lin He explained to Li Changhui, but Li Changhui didn't have much reaction: "It's good if you decide." ”
Lin He muttered, this really doesn't matter.
But it's good to think about it, listen to her, there is no conflict, and it saves disagreement and quarrels.
The family walked around the town a few times, bought everything that should be bought, and bought a lot of what shouldn't.
For example, after buying a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, a bag of mung bean cake, and carrying two sugarcanes, it was estimated that Li Changsheng's ox cart was almost here, so the family hurriedly went to the town to wait.
