Chapter 14 Yang Ermei
The mother and daughter each carried a basket in their hands and first went to the nearest house.
The door of the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences was open, and when I approached, the sound of children babbling could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.
"Is anyone home?"
Lian shouted outside the courtyard, and then took her daughter into the courtyard. A persimmon tree was planted in the yard, this season is the time to draw branches and grow leaves, a straw mat is laid under the tree, a small mattress is placed on it, and an eight- or nine-month-old doll is lying on the mattress, and a woman dressed as a woman is doing needlework on the side, perhaps when she hears the movement of the courtyard gate, she will stop her hand and look at the courtyard door.
"...... you?"
"My surname is Lian, this is my daughter, we moved to Yujia Village last night, and we live in a house at the end of the village."
Usually the women in the village are either the Zhang family or the Li family, and the topic of outsiders is relatively fresh, when Yang Ermei went to the river to wash clothes early this morning, she had already heard that a family surnamed Su came last night, but she didn't care much, but she didn't expect that people would come to their door today.
"It turned out to be Aunt Lian and the sister of the Su family, sit down, my husband's surname is Xu, my mother-in-law and her husband have gone to work in the fields, they are not at home, are you doing something?"
Yang Ermei asked this for no reason, there must have been a lot of things in the house just now, and she came to the door on the first day, could it be that the mother and daughter in front of her were the lazy people, but they didn't look like them.
"It's not a big deal, didn't we just move here, we want to buy a few eggs and duck eggs, I don't know if there are any?"
Thinking about the hundreds of chickens and duck eggs to buy, Lian's thought about it was a little bit of a thought, and he didn't know how many to run next.
Hearing that it was to buy eggs and duck eggs, Yang Ermei was very happy, the eggs at home were usually saved, and the town was brought to the town by her mother-in-law to sell when she was in the market, and she had to walk ten miles from here to the town, and her mother-in-law was reluctant to take an ox cart, and it was very hard to go down a trip, and someone came to the house to collect it, Yang Ermei was of course happy.
"I have eggs here, but duck eggs don't, I'll get you as many as you want."
"How many you have in the house, I want them all."
"Then you wait, I'll get it for you."
When the two were talking, Su Yu kept looking at Xiao Douding lying on the ground, the little guy's skin was not particularly white, his body was very strong, his eyes were black and bright, and he was also curious to look at Su Yu, Su Yu was so cute that she was born with no resistance to the child, but thinking of coming to the door for the first time today, she had to endure the urge to come forward and hug the child.
Soon Yang Ermei took out a small basket of eggs from the house, and seeing that there were more than ten of them, Lian's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. My daughter said that not every egg can hatch chicks, but when she thought of inquiring about things, she decided to buy all the eggs of the Xu family, and kept them for her son and daughter to make up for her son and daughter.
There were eighteen eggs in total, and Lian counted thirty-six copper coins and handed them to Yang Ermei, asking while putting the eggs in the basket he brought.
"I don't know which family in the village has more chickens and ducks, but I still want to buy some."
All the eggs in the house were sold, and Yang Ermei was in a good mood.
"Auntie, there are three families that raise more chickens in our village, one is the Liu family at the end of the village, one is the Yu Pozi family in the village, and the other is the village chief's family, and the ducks are raised by the village chief's family, and other families do not raise them, if you want to buy them, it is estimated that you have to go to the Zhuangzi next to the village to ask, that Zhuangzi is a member of the town's family, and we have dozens of ducks within a radius of a few miles."
In the interval between Yang Ermei's words, the Lian family had already put away the eggs, and the three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard.
"Okay, I'll go to the village and ask, you go back to take care of the children quickly, and I'll go to your house again when I'm free."
"Auntie walks slowly, I often come when I have time."
After leaving the Xu family and entering the village, some people looked at the mother and daughter from time to time, and felt that the two were face-to-face, but soon someone guessed the identity of the two, it must be the Su family who moved to the village last night, but I don't know if the two of them are not at home today, what are they doing in the village, is it possible that they are going to the village chief's house to give gifts? The villager who had that good thing stretched out his head to look at the basket that the two were carrying, and when he saw the eggs in the basket, he believed the guess in his heart a little more.
After going to the Liu family and Yu Pozi's house that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family said just now, the mother and son went to the village chief's house, and after the Lian family explained their intentions, the daughter-in-law of Yu smiled a lot more sincerely.
Lian's and Yu's daughter-in-law are about the same age, and the two of them will sit on a small bench to pull the parents, while Su Yu will take the basket in his hand to pick eggs. Today's sun is good, a little under the sun, just pick the eggs you need to the side, during the period did not hit a little stumbling, Yu Da's daughter-in-law was stunned did not see that Su Yu was picking eggs.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the village chief's family, and there are seventy or eighty eggs in a basket at hand, and Su Yu picked out more than fifty eggs, and the remaining twenty or so are not going to be bought.
"Look at me, I didn't know that your family had saved so many eggs when I first came to the village, we bought them all the way from the end of the village, and now we have almost bought them, and when we want to buy them next time, I will definitely come to your house first."
Lian's daughter was picked and explained to the daughter-in-law of the Yu family on the side.
Yu's daughter-in-law did not doubt it, and saw that there were two large baskets of eggs on the ground, not to mention two or three hundred, plus more than fifty of them bought by herself, and she didn't know what the Su family was doing when they bought so many eggs?
After leaving the village chief's house, the mother and son first sent the eggs in their hands home, and then led the basket to the village next to the village. Zhuangzi is built next to the village and is particularly conspicuous, so you don't need to ask anyone.
Now there are almost enough eggs, but there are no duck eggs, although the village chief's family has ducks, but his ducks have not laid eggs during this time. If there are ducks in Zhuangzi, then there must be chickens, and it would be great if the chickens and duck eggs in Zhuangzi could be bought all at once. Thinking of going to the villager's house for most of the day, although he didn't need to say too much, he kept accompanying the smiling face, and Su Yu felt that the smile on his face was about to become formulaic.
