The Lu family looked at the chubby steamed buns, and their hearts were mixed, they thought that the people who came to leave did not leave, but bought rations for them.

After Xiao Yeqing distributed the steamed buns to everyone, he took Lu Youyou aside and gave three-fifths of the steamed buns to Lu Youyou: "Let's eat together." ”

Lu Youyou pointed to the steamed bun in Xiao Yeqing's hand: "Sister-in-law, I'll eat your share." "If you are sensible, your sister-in-law will not want to leave.

Xiao Yeqing looked at his steamed buns, and then took a bite: "I'll eat this, you eat this." ”

Lu Youyou lowered his head and twisted his fingers: "Sister-in-law, are you leaving?" ”

Xiao Yeqing broke a piece of steamed bun and fed it to Lu Youyou's mouth: "Sister-in-law has already told your eldest brother that if you don't leave, we will always live together in the future." ”

Lu Youyou raised his head, and his eyes were as bright as a little sun: "Really? ”

"Really." Xiao Yeqing put the steamed bun in Lu Youyou's hand, "Eat quickly, and we'll pick wild chrysanthemums again in a while." ”

The little girl was in good spirits: "Okay." ”

Lu Jinzhang walked over with half a steamed bun, and after coming over, he gave half of it to Xiao Yeqing: "You have worked hard, eat more." ”

Xiao Yeqing didn't leave, but went to make money to buy food, which really surprised him.

Xiao Yeqing raised her head, her eyes were very good-looking, watery, like two pools of clear springs: "You haven't eaten for a day, let's eat, let's go pick wild chrysanthemums together in a while, and we can exchange money." ”

Lu Jinzhang's eyes flashed in surprise: "These foods are exchanged for wild chrysanthemums?" ”

Xiao Yeqing nodded: "Yes, I originally thought that I would eat steamed buns for a while and then tell you that these steamed buns are all exchanged for wild chrysanthemums." ”

Lu Jinzhang's eyes had a touch of brilliance: "Let's go pick wild chrysanthemums together in a while." ”

He is not a young master now, and he is old and young, he must shoulder the responsibility of supporting his family, and now he is willing to do anything that can make money.

Xiao Yeqing glanced at Lu Jinzhang, this person is really good, not only does he not care about the original owner running away secretly, but he is also willing to put down his body to work, you must know that the person in front of him is a rich young master from childhood to adulthood, and he has never touched the spring water with his fingers.

Lu Youyou hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go too." ”

After eating the steamed buns, Xiao Yeqing said to everyone: "Wild chrysanthemums can be exchanged for money, let's go pick them together?" ”

"I—I can't wipe my face."

"We used to be the richest man, but now we are down to this point, and we have to pick wild chrysanthemums, and I can't do it."

"I don't want to go either, if people see it, it will be embarrassing."

Sang Zhujun, the eldest daughter-in-law in the second room, walked towards Xiao Yeqing: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you, since you know that you have fallen to this point, and you still want to save face, you can only suffer alive." ”

Some people want to go, some don't want to go, and finally five people are willing to pick wild chrysanthemums: Xiao Yeqing, Lu Jinzhang, Lu Youyou, Sang Zhujun, and Lu Mu.

Carrying two broken baskets and an old cloth bag, the group walked towards the village.

When they came to the place where Xiao Yeqing picked wild chrysanthemums, everyone scattered and began to pick wild chrysanthemums in silence.

Lu Youyou followed Xiao Yeqing all the way: "Sister-in-law, let's pick a little more this time, buy a pot, and we cook by ourselves, so that we can save some money." ”

Xiao Yeqing said while picking wild chrysanthemums: "If you buy a pot, it will cost a few taels of silver, and wild chrysanthemums can't sell for much." ”

Lu Youyou blinked his watery eyes: "Then what can I buy?" ”

"I can buy some rations." Xiao Yeqing soothed, "It's okay, as long as we work hard, we can turn over sooner or later." ”

Lu Youyou clenched his fists and said with confidence: "Sister-in-law, I believe in you." ”

Xiao Yeqing touched Lu Youyou's head: "Good." ”

Lu Jinzhang next to him listened to the words of the two of them, and couldn't help but look over: Xiao Yeqing didn't look so cold, a little more angry, and seemed to be more beautiful than before.

Mother Lu looked at Xiao Yeqing: Her daughter-in-law has always been cold, but now that she is in trouble, she has a little more true feelings.

Sang Zhujun came over with a basket of wild chrysanthemums: "Sister-in-law, pour the wild chrysanthemums into the cloth bag?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Yeqing stretched the opening of the cloth bag open and asked Sang Zhujun to pour the wild chrysanthemums into it.

"Sister-in-law, what you said just now is very true, as long as we work hard, we will always turn over." Sang Zhujun smiled and continued to pick wild chrysanthemums.

In a short time, the five of them finished picking this piece of wild chrysanthemum, and the cloth bag was also full.

Xiao Yeqing said to everyone: "I'll sell wild chrysanthemums, you continue to pick, pick a little more, and strive to buy a pot as soon as possible." ”

The language is very simple, but it warms everyone's hearts and gives them a little more hope in their eyes.

Xiao Yeqing went to the county seat alone.

is still the same pharmacy before, Xiao Yeqing sold all the wild chrysanthemums, there were twelve catties, and he bought sixty wen.

With the money, Xiao Yeqing hurried home, this little money can only buy some rations, nothing else, let's save it first.

……

Sang Zhujun frequently looked in the direction of the entrance of the village: "There are so many wild chrysanthemums this time, will my sister-in-law come back?" ”

Lu Jinzhang maintained: "Ye Qing will definitely come back." He believed that Xiao Yeqing didn't leave the first time, and he wouldn't leave the second time.

Lu Mu chose to believe Xiao Yeqing: "Ye Qing will definitely come back." ”

Lu Youyou hurriedly said: "I also believe in my sister-in-law, she will definitely come back, she will definitely come." ”

Sang Zhujun didn't say anything more, and he would know the result in a while.

Xiao Yeqing's figure appeared in front of several people not long after, wearing coarse cloth clothes, like a pearl wrapped in sand: "I'm back,"

Lu Youyou happily rushed over and hugged Xiao Yeqing: "Sister-in-law, it's good that you're back." ”

The corners of Lu Jinzhang's thin lips hooked up a smile.

Lu Mu's face was full of smiles.

Sang Zhujun glanced at Xiao Yeqing, smiled slightly, and asked, "Sister-in-law, how much did you sell?" ”

Xiao Yeqing took out all the copper plates and showed them to everyone: "Twelve catties, sixty wen." ”

Sang Zhujun was pleasantly surprised: "Sell so much? ”

"That's right, five cents a pound." Xiao Yeqing took Lu Youyou to pick wild chrysanthemums together, "Pick more, and we will have a steamed bun for each of us in the evening." ”

Lu Youyou nodded heavily: "Mm-hmm." ”

In the afternoon, they all picked wild chrysanthemums here, and when they were full of a cloth bag, Xiao Yeqing took them to the county seat to sell, and by the evening, they had earned three hundred and fifty-eight dollars.

On the last trip, Xiao Yeqing went to buy steamed buns, one for each person, bought seven steamed buns, returned to the village, and went home with Lu Jinzhang and them.

Back home, Xiao Yeqing gave the steamed buns to everyone, and the buns to the five people who worked for them and their grandparents, and no one had any objections.

Everyone ate, Xiao Yeqing walked towards Grandma Lu: "Grandma, I still have some money left here, do you want to give it to you?" ”
