Early the next morning, Su Xiaofang came to the mountain quietly.

Before dawn, the courtyard of Wang Er's house was already busy.

"Sister-in-law Li, the fire is a little bigger...... Sister-in-law Cao, is the chili pepper finished? Lu Qingcao's voice sounded from time to time, people came and went in the house, and the bubbling aroma wafted out of the yard.

Su Xiaofang looked at the movement in the courtyard in surprise, and couldn't stop muttering in her heart: Could it be true? Did they really make a fortune selling beans?

Moo......

The ox chewed the straw and slowly came out, and several aunts worked together to transport a plate of tofu onto the ox cart.

The ox struggled and mooed twice, and the cow's hooves clattered on the ground.

Actually bought an ox cart?!

Su Xiaofang's eyes widened.

Few families in the village have ox carts, and the Su family has one, because the year is not good, the cattle are skinny, and they have to take a break after walking two steps.

Looking at the sturdy scalper, Su Xiaofang's heart was sour.

"Mother, the clothes are so beautiful." Lu Yihua and Lu Erli, you chased me and ran out, one of them wore new clothes, and there were new cloth shoes on their feet, and they clattered on the ground, which was very thick.

The children in the village can only put on new clothes during the Chinese New Year, and when they meet eccentrics, they can only pick up the clothes worn by their older brothers and sisters.

Su Xiaofang hadn't made clothes for several years.

The jacket on Lu Yihua's body is bright red that no one in the village has worn, and it is printed with an orchid style, which can be seen at a glance in the pile.

Lu Erli's body is light purple with silver lotus, all of which are brand new.

Su Xiaofang's heart was even more sour.

Before, they could only pick up her clothes to wear, but now they are wearing new clothes!

After the tofu was loaded, Lu Qingcao took out the copper plate and gave it to the aunts one by one.

And as usual, a piece of tofu was handed out.

The aunts smiled from ear to ear and thanked them again and again.

Su Xiaofang's eyes were straight, so many copper plates, all of them were given to outsiders?!

And that white and tender thing, they seem to say it's called "tofu"?

It's delicious when you look at it.

The hour was not early, Lu Qingcao got into the car sideways, and carried Lu Yihua and Lu Erli to the car, putting one on the side.

The two children giggled and threw themselves into Lu Qingcao's arms to be coquettish.

The old scalper snorted and led the group towards the town.

Su Xiaofang's teeth were about to crush.

The red orchid jacket on Su Yihua's body was red and piercing, and the red seemed to be engraved into her brain, and she couldn't forget it.

If only she could wear new clothes!

There are so many copper plates, they are all given to outsiders!

The second aunt's house is really wide.

No, why can the second uncle and aunt buy an ox cart to wear new clothes?

She wants it too!

Su Xiaofang's eyes cast two points of resentment, turned around and ran home.

……

This time, the tofu was white and tender, better than yesterday, and the shopkeeper Sun accepted all the orders and handed over three taels of silver to Lu Qingcao.

With a heavy amount of silver, Lu Qingcao always wanted to buy something.

Counting the days, the pots and pans at home have to be replaced, as well as the window paper next to the kang, which leaks at night, and has to be added.

Lu Qingcao took the two children to wander around the market, anyway, the ox cart was his own, and he was not in a hurry to return it.

"Sell spices, fragrant spices, brought from Persia!" At the corner of the street, a man in a robe looked up and shouted, with a box hanging from his waist, and dozens of boxes of spices neatly arranged inside.

Lu Qingcao took a look.

There is cumin powder!

If you look closely, there's also white cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and even pepper.

"How do you sell spices?" Lu Qingcao stepped forward and pretended to look at it casually.

The man looked at her excitedly, and his fingers swiped over the wooden box: "A pound of fifty yuan, all of them are the best Persian spices, and I personally brought back the ...... from Persia."

Fifty wen a pound, no wonder his business is not good.

Instead of buying unknown spices for fifty yuan, it is better to buy two catties of pork to eat.

But Lu Qingcao knows the goods.

Seeing that Lu Qingcao didn't speak, the man hurriedly added: "If you buy more, you can buy it cheaper, forty wen a catty." ”

Lu Qingcao saw his embarrassment, and simply spoke: "I want it all, thirty wen a catty." ”

All of them?!

The spices were sold for two months, and I didn't buy a single one, but I didn't expect it to be a big business!

The man's eyes widened, and he agreed: "Okay, I'll wrap it for you." ”

He reached for the vellum.

"No, give me the box too, and I'll give you another thirty wen." Lu Qingcao looked at his box very beautifully, with green flowers, and a circle of patterns similar to spring flowers on the side.

It's also good for stuffing.

The man couldn't hide the smile on his face, and immediately took off the box and handed it to Lu Qingcao: "Okay, I'll give it to you, a total of thirty catties of spices, plus the box, nine hundred and thirty wen." ”

The spices that had been backlogged for more than a year were finally shot, and the man couldn't stop smiling.

The lady who bought tofu twice passed by, and when she saw this, she persuaded her: "Girl, what are you buying this for?" So much has to be used in the Year of the Monkey? ”

Lu Qingcao laughed and haha: "Auntie, there are many people in my family, and I eat a lot, don't worry, I can finish eating." ”

The eldest lady smiled and left.

When I got home, the ox cart was full again.

……

After lying in bed for seven days, Zhao Hehua was finally able to get up and move.

Su Xiaofang flattered the corn paste to the side of the bed and held it to Zhao Hehua's mouth: "Milk, drink some porridge, be careful of scalding." ”

The house was quiet, Su Dazhuang got off the ground, Tian Xiao'e took Su Jiabao to play in the West House, and only Su Xiaofang stayed by the bedside.

Zhao Lotus is old, but her head is not confused and her eyes are not blind.

She snorted coldly and asked rhetorically, "What the hell do you have any ideas?" ”

Su Xiaofang and Su Jiabao were both pulled by her single-handedly, and as soon as they pouted their butts, Zhao Hehua knew what shit they were going to pull.

Su Xiaofang, like her conscienceless father, has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

The words had already been spoken, and Su Xiaofang did not hide it, with a look of grievance: "Milk, I went to my second aunt's house in the morning." ”

Hearing Lu Qingcao's name, Zhao Hehua came out like a spring of foul language: "What second aunt?!" She's a shameless slut! Goblin! The big guy didn't dare to speak, and he beat his mother-in-law with his momentum! When I'm ready, I'm going to the county government to sue her and let her go to prison! ”

Su Xiaofang "chuckled" in her heart.

If the second aunt squatted in prison, wouldn't the ox cart be his?

"Milk, you don't know, now the second aunt is making a lot of money! She bought an ox cart and paid her wages! I really saw it, twenty dollars for one person, and such a big piece of tofu! What a loser. Su Xiaofang added oil and vinegar and said it again.

Zhao Hehua's cursing stopped, and she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Really?" ”

"Really! I saw it with my own eyes. I don't believe you're going with me tomorrow morning. Su Xiaofang nodded heavily.

Zhao Hehua stopped talking.

Now Lu Qingcao can make money, but if he goes to prison, he will suffer a loss.

"She's got a guy at home? It's really a loser, and all the good copper plates are given to outsiders! Zhao Hehua's eyes were dripping, and she held back a bad idea, "You and your mother are going, go and be her buddy." ”

Su Xiaofang was stunned and muttered: "This is not good, the second aunt will definitely not give us a good look, maybe she will beat us!" ”

She stole a glance at Zhao Hehua's arm.

Zhao Hehua's arms were full of bruises, and the large bruises had not yet dissipated, looking strange.

"She didn't dare!" Zhao Hehua gritted her teeth, "Anyway, it's all about wages, and it's better to give it to outsiders than to give it to your own family." ”

Su Xiaofang didn't dare to squeak.

Tian Xiao'e from Westinghouse heard the movement and walked over with Su Jiabao in her arms: "Mother, is it really twenty a day?" ”

Zhao Lotus glanced at her and said coldly, "Aren't you deaf?" Can't hear me! ”

As soon as she heard that she could make money, Tian Xiao'e couldn't care about being sarcastic, and hurriedly lost her smile: "Mother, I'm too tired to take care of Jiabao every day, and I sleep to death at night, aren't you here now?" ”

When Su Jiabao saw Zhao Hehua, he opened his mouth and laughed, his saliva from laughter flowed, and he reached out to Zhao Lotus to hug him.

Zhao Lotus took Su Jiabao and kissed him twice on the face: "If it weren't for Jiabao, I wouldn't bother to care." ”

Seeing that she was angry, Tian Xiao'e hurriedly asked: "Mother, can the work be done?" ”

"I said it was done! You are her sister-in-law, does she dare to agree?! Zhao Hehua spat fiercely, her eyes were a little more poisonous than a poisonous snake, "You go to her house early tomorrow morning, she has to ask for it!" ”
