"A family heirloom for a tael of silver!"

Brother Hui stuck out his tongue, very disdainful, Pan Jinlian leaned over and took it, very moved in her heart.

She naturally understands Wu Dalang's intentions, he is thrifty, the last trip to Dongping Mansion, he didn't spend a penny, but he bought a jade bracelet for himself, not that he didn't want to buy a good one, the last time he spent two hundred taels of silver, he bought a jade bead hairpin and caused a big disaster, he was a relative, so he didn't dare to spend a lot of money.

The three of them were busy for an hour, and Pan Jinlian said with a smile: "Brother Hun, close the shop early today, the eldest brother just came back, I will buy some food to wash the dust for him, and you can also come to eat." ”

Brother Hui naturally agreed, Pan Jinlian went to buy vegetables by herself, Brother Hui accompanied Wu Dalang to go home, Brother Hui asked Wu Dalang with great interest along the way about the grand occasion of Qingyou Street in the West Gate of Dongping Mansion, but Wu Dalang complained along the way why Pan Jinlian closed the shop an hour early.

The so-called words are not speculative, after two or three sentences, Brother Hun is reluctant to chat with him.

"Da Lang, I haven't seen you for many days, where have you gone?"

Wu Dalang looked up and saw that it was the owner of the timber seller, he was very happy in his heart, and saluted: "The villain arrived in Dongping Mansion for a few days before coming back." ”

"Da Lang is different from the past, he should go outside to see it. The boss smiled and said: "Hehe, I have some planks on my trumpet for Da Lang these days, and it seems that I don't need it at the moment, how can Da Lang look at it." ”

"Eye-catching, eye-catching. Wu Dalang was in high spirits.

Brother Hui covered his mouth and smiled: "Of course you can see it, just now the heartache is missing an hour of trading, and at this moment I want to be greedy and cheap to come back and make amends." ”

"It's just that this plank is a little out of the way, and Da Lang's identity today is different from the past. "The boss is embarrassed.

Wu Dalang only heard the word "send", and his eyes lit up: "What kind of wooden plank, it's not burned." ”

"A few days ago, the aunt of the Zheng family in the East Village, please let me find some wooden planks at a fair price for her, make a coffin and put it at home, but she has a short body, and my buddy is not sensible, so I bought a lot of it at once, and it is useless to put the rest there, and I can only make a woman's coffin in total....."

"That's very good, I'm not tall, so I can use it as a coffin to keep at home. ”

"Poof! Da Lang, other people make coffins when women are generally fifty, and men are sixty before they think about it, and they do it in advance, they are all poor families, you are less than forty, and you are the proprietor of Wu Dalang's baked cakes, why do you need those things. Brother Hun couldn't help but say.

"You know what? It's called being prepared!"

Wu Dalang didn't care about Brother Hui, followed the boss to his shop, and sure enough, a few wooden boards were put behind the store, and the materials were passable, Wu Dalang was very happy, and the boss simply did it to the end, and borrowed a unicycle to pull him back.

Wu Dalang pulled a cart of coffins with a smile and walked home, and Brother Hun shook his head and followed behind.

"Dalang, what are you doing with the good planks in this car?" asked a man walking up to him.

Wu Dalang didn't recognize him, it was estimated that he had come to Wu Dalang to patronize the cakes, so he stopped the car and said politely: "This is a good coffin, take it back to make a secondary coffin." ”

"How big a coffin can this wooden board make? It's made for a woman, right?" The man raised his voice, and passers-by looked sideways, but Wu Dalang didn't think it was angry.

After walking for a while, he was confronted by a person and asked, "Da Lang, what are you doing pulling a cart of planks?"

"Use it to make a coffin and put it at home. ”

"It's good to make a coffin for a woman with such a little plank!" his voice was a little high-pitched, and Wu Dalang nodded and smiled at the passers-by who cast their eyes.

As the saying goes, many people in ancient times, when they were old or in poor health, they would save a sum of money and make a coffin in advance and put it at home, which is a major event in life.

Wu Dalang made a coffin, it was not a bad thing, but a happy event, he didn't understand, along the way, there were seven or eight people who asked, and they were all very surprised and shouted loudly, he wanted to make a coffin for a woman.

Back on Zishi Street, Wang Po's teahouse was closed, and Wu Dalang asked: "Brother Hun, when I left Yanggu County, my godmother's teahouse didn't open, and the same is true when I come back, did it open in the middle days?"

"Shhhh ”

"I see, then I won't ask. ”

Wu Dalang didn't care whether Wang Po opened the door to do business or not, and happily stacked the wooden planks in the back, put them together with the previous miscellaneous wood, and told Brother Hun to return the unicycle to the boss.

Pan Jinlian came back, went to the kitchen and was busy for a while, served the food, poured wine for Wu Dalang, and poured a glass herself, she looked at Brother Hui's eyes staring at the wine jug, and said with a smile: "Brother Hui, you are so young, do you want to drink too?"

"Hehe, I once secretly drank Daddy's wine, and it tasted a little. ”

Pan Jinlian smiled and gave him her glass of wine, and went to the kitchen to get another glass.

When he came back, he said, "Big brother, why are there so many planks on this back door?"

"Second aunt, you don't know, it was given to Da Lang by the owner who sold wood, and it was the leftover materials for someone else to make a coffin, and Da Lang said that he would make a coffin by himself. ”

Pan Jinlian knew Wu Dalang's temperament, and he was the most willing to do this kind of thing that didn't cost money, so he didn't think it was angry, and said with a smile: "Big brother, put the plank outside the door, and when it's done, carry it into the room." ”

"Hey, look at what you said, what if you put it outside the door and steal it from someone?"

"Who will steal the coffin board?" Pan Jinlian quenched.

"Oops!" Brother Hun suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's Ximenqing!"

Pan Jinlian's face was full of displeasure, and she scolded: "Brother Hui, you are not allowed to say this ghost name in the martial arts. ”

"Second aunt, listen to me. Brother Hun drank the wine, his face was flushed, and he said with the strength of the wine: "I just came back all the way, and some people asked Da Lang what this wooden board was used for, Da Lang said that he made a coffin by himself, but those people shouted loudly that Da Lang wanted to make a woman's coffin, and I only remembered now that I have seen several of those people in the west... I've been in and out of that ghost's house. ”

"Since you're with that.... Related, big brother, the planks are gone, and I'll give you the money to make a better coffin. Pan Jinlian said simply.

"Why don't you want it, that's the heart of the boss, what does it have to do with that ghost name, don't throw my plank. Wu Dalang underestimated: "Your money is kept to live a good life with the second brother, since you have a coffin, why spend that money, we are not a big family..."

Pan Jinlian was most afraid of Wu Dalang's chatter, and she was willing not to speak, this dust washing banquet, she was unhappy in her heart, Wu Dalang was worried that his plank was thrown away, and he ate very perfunctory, but Brother Hun's head fell asleep.
