Chapter 12: Enter the county seat
Not to mention anything else, Chen's cooking is much better than Liu's, Liu's cooking! It's really a non-squeaky eat.
Li Yunlan taught for several days and finally gave up, and only let her cook later, and she made all the dishes herself, and now that the two of them take turns cooking, she can't help the Liu family.
When Liu's was on duty, Mingyue really couldn't stand it, and the little man stood on the bench ready to cook, and Liu's said angrily: "Even you don't like your mother's cooking?" ”
Mingyue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I said, don't be angry, I didn't think before, since grandma cooked, not only are the dishes you cook not delicious, but the dishes of the second aunt are not so delicious." ”
Liu Shi asked his son again: "Do you think so about Chengcai?" ”
Chengcai said expressionlessly: "A little! ”
Liu sighed and said: "Then you don't need to be used, you are still young, this stove is not for play, in case it is hot, my mother will be distressed to death, go and take my sister to play!" ”
Mingyue had to get off the bench and go to the upper room to play with her sister.
Li Yunlan asked her eldest son's nearest town and county seat how far away from Xiaoliu Village.
Qiu Degui asked rhetorically: "Mother, why are you asking this?" If you want to buy something, you can go to the big market in the next village. ”
Li Yunlan only felt tired: "You will tell the truth what the old lady asks you, where is there so much nonsense." ”
Qiu Degui heard the old lady's voice raised, so he replied: "The nearest is Twenty Miles Road in Songjiang County, it takes about an hour to walk, and there is an ox cart in the neighboring village in the morning to sit there." ”
After hearing this, Li Yunlan nodded: "Tomorrow you will accompany your mother to a trip." ”
Qiu Degui swallowed the words he wanted to ask, and then went out to do his own thing.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Yunlan opened the box and wrapped the plain silver hairpin, bracelet and ring into the pocket of her clothes, and the mother and son walked all the way to the county seat.
The high city gate, the big word Songjiang County, there are small officials guarding the city gate, the people who enter the city line up, and the carriages and ox carts line up in a line.
When Li Yunlan and the others stepped forward, the little official stretched out his hand to stop them: "Enter the city for one person and one penny." ”
Still want money? Li Yunlan turned his head to look at Qiu Degui, and Qiu Degui also had an expression that he didn't know.
Li Yunlan has no money left, and the people behind him have already begun to urge: "Can't go!" I don't have money to get into the city. ”
Qiu Degui was embarrassed and took out two pennies from his arms and gave them to the officials guarding the city.
When the mother and son entered the city, Qiu Degui was already sweating profusely: "Mother, I don't know if I want money to enter the city, I haven't been here." ”
Without saying anything, it can be seen that Qiu Degui is nervous to death, and he does not forget to tell the old lady to follow him.
Li Yunlan ignored him, raised his feet and left, this county should be quite big, all kinds of guigns are floating, and all kinds of hawkers on the street are shouting and shouting.
"It's expensive, do you still have any money on you?"
Qiu Degui thought that his mother was going to settle accounts with him and quickly explained: "Mother, there is still a penny, which is left over from the things you bought for me before, I forgot for a while, it is definitely not private money." ”
Originally, Li Yunlan felt that it was nothing, but seeing that her eldest son was so nervous, she wanted to tease him: "Isn't it private money?" If you don't hand over the rest of the money, keep it for yourself. ”
"Mother, no, mother, it's not what you think."
"Okay, my mother doesn't want to hear it."
Qiu Degui rubbed his hands in a hurry, Li Yunlan looked around, and finally saw a half-sized beggar around a corner.
She stepped forward: "Little brother? Are you familiar with the county? ”
The beggar brushed away his messy hair and looked at the old lady in front of him, then turned his head back again, still sitting still.
"I have a penny here, if you tell me about the layout of the county, I will give it to you."
The corner of the beggar's mouth tugged: Huh! A penny, too lazy to pay attention to you.
Seeing that the beggar didn't move, Li Yunlan stood up straight, forget it, let's wander around by myself!
