An hour later, Liang Zhaoyi was in town.

Following the direction of the boy's finger last time, she walked towards his house.

Come to the door and raise your hand and tap on the door.

I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for anyone to open the door.

She estimated that the person was not at home, so she didn't wait any longer, turned around and was about to leave.

I'll check back later when I get back in the evening.

She threw her umbrella into the space and went to the residential area to the west.

This is the first time she has come to the residential area where she sells rice, and it has been several days since she first came to sell rice, and she estimates that the rice that the aunts and aunts bought should have eaten about the same.

She came to the residential area with a basket full of rice and flour on her back, opened her mouth and began to shout.

Before she could shout a few times, the gate of the courtyard opened on the side, revealing a smiling face.

"Kid, tell me to wait, I've been waiting for you for two days!" The eldest lady stood up with a smile and beckoned to Liang Zhaoyi.

This lady is the lady who bought rice for Liang Zhaoyi at the beginning, it seems that she should be eating very well, and she is going to buy rice again.

"Didn't I buy five catties of rice from you last time? When I got home, my son, daughter-in-law, and daughter all said it was delicious, isn't this just waiting for you to come? The eldest lady smiled and said, "How much did you bring today?" Don't give it to anyone else, give it all to me, do you think it's okay? ”

Liang Zhaoyi listened to her words, and immediately nodded with a smile: "I brought a lot of them today, can you have them?" ”

In this basket, she opened a bag of fifty catties of rice, and if she bought it all, it would cost more than a dozen yuan at one time.

The eldest lady waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, you just give it to me!" ”

Liang Zhaoyi was even more happy in his heart, put down the back basket, opened the rice bag and let the eldest lady look at it.

Wuchang rice, which is in good condition, can be sold for more than ten yuan a pound in the supermarket.

In this era, it can only be sold for a few cents.

"Can I still believe what you're selling?" The eldest lady smiled, "Auntie, I am old and my waist is not good, please help me carry it in, do you think it will work?" ”

Liang Zhaoyi nodded in agreement.

The eldest lady watched Liang Zhaoyi effortlessly carry the back basket to her body, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face.

"You little girl, do you have so much strength in your hands?" The eldest lady said out loud.

Liang Zhaoyi smiled slightly: "I'm used to it, I practiced it since I was a child." ”

Anyway, she can talk big now without blinking.

Her current strength is not a problem to carry a thinner adult man, let alone this little fifty pounds.

The eldest lady seemed to understand a trace of sourness from these words.

"The family is gone, you are very hard alone, right?"

Liang Zhaoyi nodded, but did not respond.

After all, the eldest mother is also such an old person, and when she has the eyesight to see her child, seeing that she doesn't speak, she naturally knows that she doesn't want to speak, so she keeps her mouth shut and doesn't ask anymore.

followed the eldest lady into the yard, Liang Zhaoyi asked the eldest lady to borrow a rod and scale, and weighed the rice in front of her.

The small scale she brought over could only weigh a dozen pounds, and it couldn't weigh so much.

Fifty pounds, no less.

The eldest lady held the scale away from her, looked at it carefully, and then said to Liang Zhaoyi with a smile: "Can I still believe you?" ”

Liang Zhaoyi looked at her and only smiled slightly.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go into the house and get you the money!" The eldest lady said.

So saying, he went into the house.

Liang Zhaoyi didn't move, just stood in the courtyard and waited.

When the eldest lady came back with the money, she saw that she was still standing in place, and the smile on her face became more sincere.

"You count, twelve dollars and five cents!" The eldest lady smiled.

Liang Zhaoyi stretched out his hand to take the money, and counted it carefully in front of the eldest mother.

After counting, he handed back a note from Wu Jiao to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady looked at her with some puzzlement.

"You bought a lot today, give you a zero." Liang Zhaoyi said.

As soon as the eldest mother heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "It's easier for me to make money than you, my children all go to work to earn wages, and I myself have a retirement salary, you can take the money that belongs to you!" ”

The two shirked each other, and in the end Liang Zhaoyi accepted it.

"Thank you then!" Liang Zhaoyi looked grateful.

The eldest lady chuckled: "Thank you, you deserve it!" ”

Liang Zhaoyi collected the money and helped the eldest mother move the rice to the kitchen and pour it into the rice bowl.

"Child, my surname is Zhu, you also know my family, come and send me rice once a month in the future, do you think it's okay?" Aunt Zhu asked.

Liang Zhaoyi naturally nodded in agreement.

If you come once a month, it is equivalent to having a stable source of customers.

said goodbye to Aunt Zhu, came out of her house, and seeing that it was still early, she continued to fill the basket with rice and continued to walk the streets.

In one afternoon, although I didn't meet a big customer like Aunt Zhu again, a lot of them were sold out in a few pieces, and there was only a little left in the back basket, and more than ten catties of flour were also sold.

After a rough calculation in my heart, it should have been sold for more than twenty yuan today.

Seeing that it was not early, she bought some braised pork head meat and brought it back.

When I passed by the entrance of the vegetable market, I saw someone selling fish, so I bought two fish.

The fish was bought for Chen Qiaoyun to eat, and she was going to put it in the creek of the space and keep it in captivity, and then cook the soup for Chen Qiaoyun to drink after the two masons left.

I found a place where there was no one, and kept the fish in the stream with a net, and took out the boy's umbrella, and went to his house to return it to him when I was going back.

Came to the boy's door again.

I knocked on the door, but still no one came to open it.

Looks like I'm not at home today.

Liang Zhaoyi can only go back first, and then come over to return the umbrella when he has the opportunity.

Before he had taken two steps, he heard a voice coming from the alley next to him.

When he turned his head to look, he saw that the boy was lying on the ground, and he was standing up with difficulty supporting the wall with his hands.

It's just that the injury may be too severe, and as soon as he was supported a little, his body fell down again.

Seeing this, Liang Zhaoyi took a quick step, came to him, and stretched out his hand to help him.

It's just that as soon as his hand touched the boy's arm, he pulled it back forcefully.

The young man turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was her, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then coughed twice, and asked aloud: "Is it you?" ”

Seeing this, Liang Zhaoyi reached out again to help him.

This time, he didn't refuse again, and stood up with Liang Zhaoyi's hand.

When he stood up, he leaned against the wall and gasped for air.

"They're beating you again?" Liang Zhaoyi asked.

The boy didn't look at her, but said in a cold voice, "It's none of your business." ”

Liang Zhaoyi withdrew his hand.

She is not a nosy person, but she and the original owner have experienced such a thing, and she knows that it is useless to blindly endure such violent treatment.
