9 Go to the county seat
By the time my sister and brother came back, it was already dark, "Third sister, I'm going back." ”
Chen Miao was also afraid that he would be beaten when he went back. It's all cleaned up, and it's completely dark. While eating, I thought that I could breathe a sigh of relief for a while.
Thinking that I have to go to the county seat tomorrow, it is too uncomfortable to have no time. There is nothing else missing, so I'll ask the village chief tomorrow.
There is also a way to surround the courtyard wall, and if you have money in your hands, you can directly spend money to hire someone to do it. I just don't know if it's enough?
The hot kang is comfortable to lie on. Still a dreamless night.
The next morning, Chen Jiang just cleaned up, and Chen Jiang came over.
"You sit down and eat."
"Third sister, I've eaten."
"Eat more."
This time, a little oil was put in the porridge, and the taste was immediately different.
"Chen Jiang, I want to go to the county seat."
"Third sister, I'll go with you."
"Okay, I won't go with the village chief."
The two finished the set. "Third sister, do you know where the county seat is?"
"You know what?"
Both siblings shook their heads. "Then let's go and ask the village chief."
Chen Miao followed behind Chen Jiang, and next time he would know where the village chief's house was.
Shen Wufu looked at the two sisters and brothers who came in, "What's the matter?" ”
"Fifth uncle, when are you free? I want to go to the county to buy some seeds, but I don't have any seeds at home. ”
"What are you missing?"
"Fifth uncle, I want to plant half an acre of cotton, otherwise I won't be able to survive the winter."
"Okay, I'll go today, and I'll buy two scythes too."
"Fifth uncle, I'll go back and set up the car."
After the two sisters and brothers left, Shen Wufu's daughter-in-law came out, "This Chen Miao is different, she always lowered her head when she used to speak. ”
"In the future, I will have to support this family alone." Not an easy task.
"The owner bought some salt and lamp oil."
It's a necessity, and you can't buy it.
With Shen Wufu following, of course he was the one who drove the car.
"Fifth uncle, I want to enclose the courtyard wall, it doesn't matter if the house is broken, but I live alone, and I am really afraid of the little donkey.
Fifth uncle, Shen Jianfeng left me money, can I ask someone to fence the courtyard wall? ”
"You don't have a soil embryo in your house, so if you put up a courtyard wall, you will have to use a lot."
"Well, I wonder why the courtyard walls should be higher."
Shen Wufu understands that it is true that a woman lives and is afraid.
"Okay, I'll ask."
Chen Miao knew that the more than five yuan left for him was not enough to do anything, but even if he spent all the money on the courtyard wall, he was really afraid to sleep at night.
The little donkey is not fast, but it is faster than a human walk.
Rushed directly to the grocery store, "Third sister, fifth uncle, you go in, I'll watch the car outside." ”
Chen Miao followed Shen Wufu into the grocery store, and the pungent smell of vinegar came over.
"Shopkeeper, give me two catties of salt and two catties of lamp oil."
"Okay, let's see what else you want?"
Chen Miao looked around the grocery store, which was similar to a small store.
I already know that grocery stores buy seeds, and of course grain stores also have seeds.
Seeing that Shen Wufu had paid, Chen Miao leaned over, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy half an acre of cotton seeds and half an acre of sorghum seeds." ”
"You've come to the right place, let me tell you, I got this cotton seed from the Central Plains, and one acre of land over there can produce seventy or eighty catties of cotton."
Shen Wufu was also very moved when he heard it, his family has a large population. There will be some cotton in the yard, but there is not much production.
"Shopkeeper, cotton seeds must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's the same price as ordinary cotton seeds."
After buying two seeds, Chen Miao gave fifty copper coins painfully, which is not expensive? I didn't want to buy anything else, and the courtyard wall said that it would cost money.
When the two came out, Chen Jiang had already fed the little donkey. also put away the donkey dung, Chen Miao knew that this was to be base fertilizer, to be honest, he was really not used to this.
"I'm going to the blacksmith shop, do you have anything else to buy?"
"Fifth uncle, Shen Jianfeng has bought the hoe, pickaxe, and sickle at home, I want to go to the train station to have a look."
"What are you doing at the train station?"
"Just look, look at the train."
"There are a lot of people at the train station, so you have to be careful." Shen Wufu felt that this girl just missed Shen Jianfeng. Also, the marriage just left one day ago.
"Third sister, I want to go and see it too."
"Okay, you two go. I was outside watching the car. ”
Chen Miao didn't want Chen Jiang to follow, but this kid hadn't been to the county seat either, forget it, just look at the time himself. You can't take the watch out, but you can use it yourself.
The train station is a very crowded street. "I'll stay here and wait for you, hurry. The boss here is not easy to mess with. ”
Chen Miao nodded, "Fifth uncle, I'll go in and take a look." ”
In Chen Miao's consciousness, there must be time at the train station.
The two siblings ran into the train station. But I didn't see where there was time. What can I do?
Suddenly seeing a beautiful young lady, Chen Miao gritted her teeth, "Beautiful young lady, can you tell me what time it is?" ”
Zhao Manfei looked at the country girl with a headscarf in front of her, do you still know the time? But he didn't say anything, raised his wrist and looked, "It's eleven twenty." ”
"Thank you, beautiful young lady."
Chen Jiang was quite puzzled, how could the third sister still know the time?
Chen Miao already knew the location of the toilet just now. After saying that, he ran over. Count in your heart.
went around to the toilet, quickly took out his watch and squatted down to adjust the time, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of coming to the county this time has been achieved.
Running to the donkey cart, Shen Wufu was already in a hurry. "Let's go, let's go to the blacksmith's shop and we'll go back."
When he got here, Chen Miao felt that he could use everything, but because he had no money, he could only look at it.
Out of the county seat, Chen Miao took out the cake, "Fifth uncle, Chen Jiang, you two eat." ”
"If you don't eat it, you'll go home." Where is Shen Wufu embarrassed to eat?
Chen Miao stuffed it into his arms, and put a lot of wild vegetables in the cake, as well as salt, and it was not so hard to eat when it was cold. In fact, as long as they can eat enough, the taste is not in their consideration.
Back in the village, Chen Jiang went home halfway, and Shen Wufu didn't enter the yard, just a little daughter-in-law living by herself, so it was better to pay attention.
"Fifth uncle, please ask about the courtyard wall, I know that every family has soil embryos. I thought I wasn't busy yet, if only I could fence it up. ”
Shen Wufu nodded, "Okay, I'll ask you tomorrow." ”
Chen Miao has been busy for three hours, and the kang is also hot, so he takes a bath and lies down. Although I sat on the donkey cart on this day, I also felt quite tired.
There was no dream all night, and after getting up the next day, it was still a repetitive job, Chen Jiang still came over early, but let him eat and say that he would not eat.
