Chapter 10: The First Entry into the City
Early the next morning, Su Aimin dug Su Qingyun out of bed.
"Dad, you let me sleep a little longer." Su Qingyun tried to open his eyes, it was dark outside, what time was it!
"It's not that you want to go to the county with me, if you don't get up, you won't be able to catch the car." Su Aimin urged.
"Right now, right now."
She resigned herself to her feet and put on a blue shirt with floral flowers and a simple pair of black pants underneath.
"When you're so old, you have to be braided by your mother, I think you are getting smaller and smaller." Qin Ying was fiddling with her hair, but there was a smile in her mouth.
"I don't know how to make it up." Su Qingyun pursed her lips and enjoyed her mother's craftsmanship with peace of mind, the original owner's hair was so many and long, she felt that it was okay to wear her hair a few days ago, but she couldn't wear it when she went into the city today, right?
In order to facilitate her experiments, she basically has short hair styles, and she really can't handle all kinds of braids that are fashionable in this era, either an extra lock here, or an extra pinch there, and in less than ten minutes, she gave up decisively and asked her mother to help.
"Alright! We're so beautiful! Qin Ying said with satisfaction.
Su Qingyun looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, yes, this little face is so tender that it seems to be able to pinch out water.
Su Aimin urged on the side: "I really have to go, otherwise I won't be able to catch the car." ”
"Let's go, Daddy." Su Qingyun hurriedly followed.
The figures of the father and daughter disappeared in a hurry, and Zhang Xinlan, who got up early to prepare for a fire and cooking, pouted, these two people, big and small, didn't do anything serious!
"Yunyun, can you still go? No, let's just take a break. Su Aimin looked at his daughter with concern.
"Let's take a break." Su Qingyun made a bitter face and sat on the stump on the side of the road.
No wonder, her father said that he couldn't catch up with the car, from Luoshui Village to the county seat, she could only walk to the town first and then take the car to the county, and it was ten miles to the town.
I don't know how long I walked, and finally arrived at the station where I was waiting for the train, saying that it was a station, but it was actually a street sign on the side of the road, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully.
There are not many people waiting for the bus, and many farmers have never even been to the county seat in their lives, and have been nesting in the place where they were born and raised.
"Yunyun, the car is coming, you be careful and go up with your father." Su Aimin greeted when he saw the car from a distance.
Su Qingyun followed him into the car, Su Aimin took out a gross ticket from his pocket to pay the fare, and took her to find a place to sit down.
In addition to people, chickens, ducks and geese were all in the car, and the sounds of "clucking" and "quacking" were endless, mixed with the smell that rushed into the nasal cavity, and there were still two hours to go to the county, Su Qingyun could only grit his teeth and endure it.
The car was going to stay for ten minutes, and before it started, Su Qingyun closed his eyes and tried to ignore his surroundings.
"Eldest sister, your chicken looks so well fed." It was her dad's voice.
Su Qingyun opened his eyes and watched his father talking to an eldest sister wearing a straw hat, she was carrying a hen tied with straw in her hand, and she looked extremely fat in a pile of wilting chickens.
"Of course, my chickens grew up eating insects, and they can be fed carefully, and they can lay at least two eggs a day." The eldest sister looked proud.
"Two eggs?!" Su Aimin's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Then why don't you raise such a good laying hen?" ”
Now, although it is not possible to buy and sell freely on a large scale, no one cares about secretly selling one or two chickens.
The eldest sister's face was visible to the naked eye, "It's not that my daughter-in-law gave birth and has no milk, so I'm going to sell the chicken to her and buy some of that...... Oh, yes, milk powder, otherwise who would want to sell it? ”
"That's right." Su Aimin nodded in agreement.
He smiled on his face, "In that case, eldest sister, your chicken was originally going to be sold, can you sell it to me?" ”
"You?" The eldest sister looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes." Su Aimin nodded firmly, pointed at Su Qingyun and introduced, "This is my daughter, she just had a serious illness a while ago, and I was about to buy her an old hen to stew to replenish her body." ”
"Obediently, you bought chicken for your daughter to make up for her body?" The eldest sister was shocked, repeated his words again, looked at Su Qingyun's pale face, and believed it a little.
Su Qingyun: ......
What kind of body to make, her father is using her as a shield.
"That'...... How much can you come out? The eldest sister asked hesitantly, "I won't sell it if I don't have it." ”
"Look at what you say, eldest sister, don't worry, I will never cheat you."
Su Aimin took a closer look at the chicken, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, eldest sister, the price of a chicken is about three yuan and five now, I see that your chicken is well raised, I will give you four yuan, and you will definitely not lose." ”
"Four?" The eldest sister was a little dissatisfied, "I'll go to the county to ask more about this price, and if I can sell it higher." ”
"Eldest sister, it's not like that." Su Aimin slowly analyzed her, "When you go to the county, first of all, it takes a lot of time to ask people everywhere, and secondly, people in the county have many choices, and they don't necessarily have to buy your chickens at a high price." ”
Su Aimin pointed to the pile of chickens and ducks around, and the eldest sister was silent.
"Also, eldest sister, the fare to go back and forth to the county adds up to almost three cents, and the bus has not yet departed, you can still refund the ticket, you sell me this chicken, won't this save again?"
The eldest sister's eyes lit up, yes, how did she forget about it!
"Brother, otherwise, look at my chickens, they are no worse than hers, and I am cheaper." A black man who had been listening to it for a long time couldn't help but say.
"That won't do! If you say it's okay to buy mine, you'll buy mine. "The eldest sister is in a hurry, how can someone cut off the beard with the money in hand?
She hurriedly stuffed the chicken into Su Aimin's hand.
Su Aimin smiled on his face, and slowly took out four yuan from his pocket and gave it to the eldest sister.
Seeing that the eldest sister counted the money and went to the driver to refund the ticket, the black man's eyes were red with envy.
"Brother, do you still want it?" He didn't give up on selling it.
"This ......" Su Aimin looked embarrassed.
"All I need is three dollars and five!" The black man gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
"Dad, this one is not bad, buy it, I can eat it." Su Qingyun began to cooperate with her father.
"Okay then." Su Aimin hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed, "Then buy one more and make up for my daughter." ”
"Young man, would you like to see my chickens too?" The uncle in the front seat turned his head, his wrinkled face full of eagerness.
"And mine!"
"Big brother, do you want a duck? Duck soup can be replenished! ”
"And the goose, the goose is also a big supplement, do you want it?!"
Su Aimin "reluctantly" picked a few more in the midst of a sales pitch, and a few more refunded tickets to get off the bus.
The driver glanced faintly and looked away.
Su Qingyun sat on the side, singing and harmonizing with her father, her face was full of laughter, but she was complaining in her heart, so many chickens and ducks she had to make up for heavy bleeding!
She now knows where the family's watch and alabaster came from, and with his father's acting skills, it's a pity that he was born in this era and couldn't be an actor.
The car finally started and slowly drove towards the county seat, the engine roared, and it was a dirt road again, Su Qingyun was bumpy and grinned, and finally arrived at his destination.
"Dad, get out of the car." She couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't worry, wait a while, there are a lot of people now, crowded." The old god Su Aimin is here, sitting firmly.
Two minutes later, Su Qingyun watched as her father calmly stuffed a dollar into the driver's hand.
The driver didn't just stop a little longer, right? Su Qingyun looked incredulous.
Good guy, she called her good guy, she was wrong, her father shouldn't be an actor, her father is simply a business ghost!
