Chapter Ninety-Three: Where to Go
"Auntie, I can't think of a way to come for a while, I have to lack water and food to go back, go forward, the more I go, the colder it gets, the winter in the north is very cold, we are still wearing so thin... What can I do? ”
Xia Qiyue was stumped for a while, and she didn't know what to do, she was just a traverser, with a golden finger, but she was not Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she couldn't help so many people.
"Alas... Your patriarch uncle is worried, he can't eat the food he is worried about, By the way, July girl, you said that you can sell the basket, can you help your aunt sell it tomorrow, if this basket can't be sold, it will become a burden when you leave. ”
"That's no problem, auntie, you can send me all the baskets, and I'll help you sell them tomorrow!"
Xia Qiyue agreed happily, it just so happened that she didn't buy a basket today, so she knew that the patriarch's family might not be able to sell so much, and she was ready to buy it tomorrow if the patriarch's family didn't have it.
"Okay, you kid, but you've done my aunt a great favor!" An Wang nodded, grinned happily and smiled a little embarrassedly, "By the way, July girl, here is the silver that sells you fifty catties of ballast!" You count, my aunt sold it for you for a pound and five cents! ”
It is impossible to say that one catty and five wen are in Liulin County, but this time there is no famine, there is no shortage of food, and the price is already very high.
"Thank you, auntie, you have also helped me a lot!" Xia Qiyue nodded, fifty catties is two hundred and fifty copper plates, she counted one hundred and eighty out of the two hundred and fifty copper plates and handed them to An Wang's family.
Auntie, this is the money for the basket, I will pay you first, you can bring the basket to me! ”
An Wangshi waved his hand, "Don't pay in advance, you can sell it and give it to me, and we don't sell it really expensive, just sell it for fifteen yuan!" ”
Xia Qiyue didn't follow, and shook his head, "Don't worry, auntie, I sell it for twenty yuan, and I can sell it for twenty yuan if I take it in the past, you just keep it, anyway, I can sell it tomorrow as soon as I take it!" ”
The two of them didn't push too much, An Wang took the money and hurried to get the basket.
It's not certain when to go, tomorrow I will wait for the father and son to go to the mountains to have a look, if you can find the prey, it is the best, if you can't find it, you have to find wild vegetables or something.
If you don't have anything to eat on the road, you can fill your stomach.
Xia Qiyue took the nine baskets and put them directly in the shed, and just pick them up early tomorrow morning.
After An Wang's family left, Xia Qiyue suddenly remembered the rice planted in the space, and she didn't have time to see it after sowing the seeds, and she didn't know if she could plant them.
Climbed onto the wooden shelf, and looked inward when she entered the bed, which made her extremely excited.
I saw that the rice planted in the space was ripe, and the yellow-orange-orange ears of rice drooped their heads, and they were fruitful.
She was so excited that she almost jumped up, and she could finally be free of rice.
The sugar cane in the eight-point field next to her is also ripe, but she doesn't dare to enter the space to harvest now, if she wants to say that this space is not good, that is, this can't be controlled by the mind, the mind can only take out the original things, put the outside things in, and nothing else can be done.
Originally, she thought that she would be able to upgrade the space, but she tried it and it still didn't work.
The smoky atmosphere at the patriarch's house improved a lot as King An took the nine baskets and came back with the silver.
Originally, the patriarch had been complaining, saying that his family was not a business material, and it was not as important as An'an's sharing of firewood.
Now that the basket has finally been sold, he has taken the lead in weaving it again, saying that he has bought all the rags, and it is a pity that he will not use them.
"Then I will make it up overnight, do it overnight, and I'll give it to the July girl tomorrow morning, and let her bring it over to sell it, I don't know if I can stay here the day after tomorrow..."
They lit a fire in the shed, the family gathered together, the man was weaving baskets, Liu Jiajia was already asleep, and An Wang was doing needlework.
"Zichen's family is really capable, and they can sell so many baskets." The patriarch spoke.
"That girl is a good one, and she is also a capable person, look at it, there will be times when Lao Anjia regrets it in the future!" An Wang's boasting kept coming.
"If it weren't for the fourth sister-in-law, we wouldn't have six big cakes a day!" An Youde also interjected.
Among the brothers, he was the most skillful, and he was almost finished weaving a small basket.
"By the way, there is no fire over there in July, they just came back, and they didn't collect firewood, you can send some over and light the fire!"
"You old woman, can you go if you are virtuous? There is also a younger sister in the Zichen family, you let your son go now, and you will ruin the reputation of other girls! ”
The patriarch kept moving his hands, reminding his old wife.
"Oh my brain... Then I'll go. As he spoke, he stood up.
"Mother, you better do your own thing! I'll go, I'll just call Xinghe out to get it! An Youde got up quickly, picked up the firewood on the side and walked out.
Xia Qiyue hadn't fallen asleep yet, and similarly, his younger brothers and sisters hadn't slept yet, and when they heard An Youde coming, the three of them sat up at the same time.
An Youde asked Xia Xinghe to go out and carry the firewood in, and after lighting the fire, he immediately felt warm.
The three siblings sat by the fire and pulled the two children to the fire, feeling extra warm.
Some people are comfortably roasting on the fire, while others are suffering.
At the end of Shanxi Zhuangzi, Xia Wu sprinkled all the day's troubles on the old Xia Pozi and the old couple, especially after the two of them begged for a day and didn't get anything.
"Old woman, what bracelet did you give your eldest daughter-in-law? Actually secretly gave her a bracelet, do you say I'm not good to you? After so many years of serving the old and serving the young, you didn't give a single chicken feather after doing the work at home and outside! Is your conscience gone? ”
This kind of complaining and scolding sound resounded from time to time in Zhuangzi, Shanxi, and many people have become accustomed to it.
At first, Mrs. Xia couldn't stand her status being shaken, but her mother-in-law, who was originally high, was scolded by her daughter-in-law.
But I slowly realized that because of her, I lost the son of the second family, and when the mountain bandits came, the old couple was still dead and followed behind the second son.
Now that she has confessed to these crimes, she doesn't dare to speak when Xia Wu scolds her with a dirty mouth.
The second child doesn't care, this son also hates her for losing his son, and the old man has no strength to teach his son a lesson, what if she doesn't recognize it? Can you still beat others?
"I didn't give her any bracelets, you must have been deceived by that Liu Mei! In July, that girl brought two three-year-old children, and her younger brothers and sisters, and she could still earn so much silver, do you believe it? Something that only has a head but no brain! ”
Although the old lady has restrained her temper, this mouth is still powerful, not to mention how smooth it is to excuse herself.
