25 Sugar Balls

"I'm sorry to ask Childe, is there a woman named Zhao San here? We've got something to look for her. ”

I heard that there have always been abductors in the capital, and my favorite is a single child who is a few years old, and Aunt Xue's house in front of Lixiangyuan bought a girl called Xiangling by mistake, the girl was born neatly, and she was always coquettish and innocent, but she was quite puzzled by the sophistication of human feelings, and she only treated people everywhere gentle, as innocent as a child.

If you want Yunzhu to say, that child is good, it is how to look at it, how to make people feel a little like a fool, the maids all spread it in private, and it was because she was abducted when she was a child and her fate was displaced.

At first glance, seeing this strange man with five big and three thick, Yun Zhu subconsciously took a step back, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at many officials, indicating that the man in front of him was not alone.

Liu Ping stood outside the steps, seeing that the other party looked vigilant, the man dressed in brown coarse cloth moved the corners of his mouth, and then put down the sleeves that were rolled up high, covering his tanned and powerful hands, and then arched his hand and said: "The girl is looking for Neizi, what is the matter?" ”

Oh, not a crutch.

Still, Uchiko?

Sure enough, Yun Zhu sent away many officials, raised his forehead and looked at Zhao San, who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and was busy sweeping the seat, after sweeping the seat, he pulled her up and down, and after a while, his eyes were red, and he took out a bag of fried wheat tea from the cabinet step by step and handed it into Yun Zhu's hand.

After a year and a half, Zhao San, who is in his teens, is obviously childish, but he combs the woman's hair in a bun, and his sallow little face shows that life is unsatisfactory, and the 'Liu Lang' outside is the person she married.

It's just that it's not so much about marrying as about selling.

After all, Zhao San did not escape the fate of being sold for a few taels of silver, and after the harvest in the autumn of last year, the Zhao family moved south, but Zhao San did not heal because of a foot injury, so he became the daughter-in-law of the Liu family because of a five-tael 'dowry'.

The Liu family's family background is not good, the naked eye can see the four walls of the family, five taels of silver is estimated to be all the family's savings, Liu Ping is an orphan, Zhao San married and had a hard life, but there is no pressure on the side, there are clan elders in the clan, but they never ask about the husband and wife on weekdays.

Then as Zhao San slowly confided, Yunzhu went from being at a loss at the beginning, to knowing where Zhao San's lameness came from, and then hearing that after the Zhao family's parents only took Zhao Qi's sister and brother to move south, he was so angry that his stiff body sat on the threshold, pinched the teacup, and made a clicking sound at the joints, and gritted his teeth and roared: "Livestock!" ”

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, this Zhao family is even worse than the devil's cave!

It's not enough to sell oneself, even the injured daughter is so casually abandoned, how can they still be called individuals?

Zhao San's lame foot was to go up the mountain to dig kudzu for food, accidentally stepped on the hunter's trap, looked along the corner of the other party's skirt, and looked at the flesh-red scars on the ankles, which were so hideous that they almost penetrated the entire calf, which was enough to imagine the pain at that time.

She also has a big tongue when she speaks now, and the crux of this is not only the psychological damage caused by the foot injury, but also because she repeatedly bit her tongue in the middle of recuperation.

After hearing this, Yun Zhu couldn't suppress the anger around him, the red eyes of the two were filled with tears, Yun Zhu stood up angrily, and swirled back and forth in the room like flies. Seeing this, Zhao San had no choice but to step forward and take her hand, and said slowly: "Mo ...... I'm angry, I'm not angry. ”

Zhao San now speaks very slowly, not at all as neat and bright as more than a year ago, she strives to bite the words clearly, and strives to pronounce the same as ordinary people, and the green tendons on her tense neck appear, it is not difficult to see the great effort she has made in order to speak well.

"They, gone, gone, Liu Lang and I have moved three times, and we will never see them again." Zhao San's words were rapid, and when he talked about the urgency, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, and his resolute tone was even more distressing.

Zhao Liu couldn't help it for a long time, and Yu Guang saw that Liu Lang went out with a bamboo basket, and the two little girls, one high and one low, hugged each other here, regarded each other as their own salvation, hugged and cried, crying hoarsely, and then slumped on the earthen kang.

Yun Zhu sobbed and talked about what happened in the past year or so, but deliberately only picked up some small things to make Zhao San laugh. She always complained in her heart that her fate was uncertain, and the people who were used to freedom were trapped in that small world, waiting for the sledgehammer of fate to come again.

She was depressed, depressed, depressed, and woke up in the middle of the night, but she didn't know where the road was going, waiting for the dawn, and once again began to do repetitive and careful work. Struggling to learn a craft, imagining that he can settle down in the distant future, so he took the trouble to ask Qingwen for advice.

The Q version of the animal pattern is drawn a lot, Qingwen likes to play with her more and more, in this rich nest, she has seen three generations of housewives wrestling wrists, and also seen the intrigue between them, every time she is clean, she hesitates and doesn't know where the road ahead is.

But when he saw Zhao San at this moment, he suddenly drew a blueprint for the future again in his heart, and suddenly felt a strong force running through him.

"I can't always lose! You can't always tell me to endure! I ......" Looking at Zhao San's frowning brows, Yun Zhu realized that he was full of resentment and followed this roar out of his heart.

"I know what I'm going to do!" Glancing at Zhao San's expression, the original goal in my heart is even brighter, I want to make money! To break free from the mire, to see the sun rise and grass trees grow and flowers bloom, the world will pour cold water on me, and I will mix it all up!

Yun Zhu stood on the kang with his head upright, his eyes were extremely clear, and he opened his mouth to draw a big cake: "Zhao San, if you believe me, we will definitely live a good life of freedom!" ”

Looking at the little sister who only knew that she was behind her ass in the past, and now she is full of pride, Zhao San was unconsciously taken by her to look forward to it.

It's just that after looking up at the starry sky, you have to be down-to-earth, Yunzhu pulled Zhao San, who was five points similar to herself, and asked her ear in a doggy manner: "You two holes... Roundhouse? ”

Shicai's reverent gaze at the little sister turned into fright, and then the blush began to rise slowly from the neck, until his face was flushed, and then he shook his head slightly in Yunzhu's calm gaze.

Although no one has taught her, she probably knows the process of getting married, but Liu Lang only uses his hands to pull her...... Although Zhao San didn't understand it carefully, he didn't have a reason to talk nonsense about such embarrassing things, even if he was a sister.

"Excellent, keep it like this, I'll tell you, girls ......" Yun Zhu pulled Zhao Sanzhi and said dryly, broke the knowledge in the physiology class and crushed it into Zhao Liu's brain, and when he talked about it, he also drew a wooden stick on the ground and drew a schematic diagram, and even tested several small questions in class.

Zhao San went from the beginning of the period Ai Ai to the back with a red face and stumbled to answer eight or nine points, which was exchanged for the approval of Yun Strict Master Zhu.

In fact, there is no need for Yunzhu to say, Zhao San also knows that he can't have children now, but in the past, he only knew that he couldn't raise children with a short amount of money, but now Yunzhu said in detail, she is clear and clear, not only to be responsible for children, but also to be responsible for herself.

Thinking of his parents' first behavior, he took Zhao Liu's words as Gui in his heart, chewed it repeatedly, and then turned into a deep agreement.

"Big families, it's really different, even these things are taught, don't worry, I must plan for myself, and I will definitely persuade Liu Lang to wait until I am seventeen or eighteen years old, after some furniture, I will discuss this matter with you." Although Zhao San blushed, he also had a firm face to agree.

She stroked Yunzhu's bun, thinking back to when the two were separated, Liu'er was still a stupid little girl, but now it is only a little more than a year, and she has grown so much, although it is light and light, she doesn't know how much she has to suffer in that house: "Have you suffered a lot?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao San hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Eat something, didn't the man who drove the carriage at noon say that he would come to pick you up in the evening." ”

With that, he got up and took out a small bag of flour from the cupboard, and went out to the kitchen with Yunzhu.

"It's not bitter, I'm not bitter, you don't have to worry about me, you're ...... What does my brother-in-law do for a living now? How is the livelihood? Yun Zhu followed behind him, his tongue turned twice, and he remembered Zhao Santong's red face again, and it took a lot of effort to call out the word brother-in-law.

"It's not a big business, now your brother-in-law is a merchant, walking the streets and alleys to sell some gadgets and seasonal snacks, I help people wash clothes outside, and occasionally send some food and old things in the clan, and life can go on." Zhao San lit the fire on the stove and instructed Yunzhu to look at the fire, while he was busy kneading the multigrain noodles.

Thinking of the highly sought-after sugar seller he saw when he went out, Yunzhu's heart moved, and he said softly: "West Street is prosperous, and I see that fresh sugar balls are easy to sell." ”

Lollipops, I don't see a child who doesn't like it.

Zhao San pondered for a moment, showed a sour smile, shook his head and said: "I heard Liu Lang talk about the sugar ball, and I heard that it can also make a fresh style with bright colors, but the maltose we buy now is only yellow and brown, compared to the bright one, our sales are mediocre." ”

In this era, maltose is to be extracted from wheat sprouting, wheat in the northern region is a life-saving staple food, there are not many people who have surplus grain for sugar, refined sugar is rare, and then want to make tricks on the basis of refined sugar, which is the ingenuity of rich and noble people.

In the era when there are no artificial colors, bright colors are even more difficult to find, what spinach green, garnet red, chrysanthemum yellow......

Ordinary people don't even think about it.

Xu is flour is not enough, Zhao San leaned over and found two sweet potatoes under the board, washed and peeled them and put them in the pot to boil, and saw Zhao Liu's gaze on the sweet potatoes: "This is a sweet potato, our family has also planted it in the past, Xu is variety is different, the sweet potatoes in the capital are sweeter and softer, although the price is cheap, it is a pity to eat too much bloating, and people don't like to buy it." ”

After a while, the water vapor on the side of the pot was steaming, Yunzhu sat in front of the stove, her little face was red, Zhao San saw it, and couldn't help but pick up her sister's style: "Let's eat sweet potatoes and hemp food tonight, your favorite when you were a child." ”

Hemp food is the cat ears in the past, and in some places it is also called dough sheets, which is not an amazing food, but in the poor homes of expensive food, a bowl of carbs is a rare delicacy.
