Chapter 35: Why Are Flowers So Red?
"Knock knock!" Fang Yuan slapped the door.
"Who's that? Sambo, go open the door. A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.
Needless to say, it should be the little fat man's mother, Fang Yuan hadn't seen the little fat man's mother yet, because she didn't need to go to work, so she didn't need to go out.
"Oh!" the little fat man agreed, and ran to open the door.
When he saw Fang Yuan standing at the gate, the little fat man asked in surprise, "Boss, why are you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
"No, that's not what I meant, I mean, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for your dad!"
"Looking for my dad, boss, what are you looking for my dad?" the little fat man looked at Fang Yuan with a confused expression.
"What do you care about so much, little kid? After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he went in.
Leaving the little fat man in the back to close the door, he scratched his head and thought: "Call me a little brat, aren't you the same?"
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, he could only think about it in his heart, because he was afraid that Fang Yuan would clean him up.
After the little fat man closed the door, he hurriedly ran inside, shouting while chasing Fang Yuan: "Dad, someone is looking for you." ”
"Who?" asked the fat uncle, coming out of the house.
"Hello uncle!" Fang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.
"Oh, it's you, what's the matter?"
"Uncle, I want to buy some bones. ”
Fang Yuan actually has a butcher shop in his hand, even if he buys meat, he can buy it, but it is not possible at the moment, at this time, he takes out the butcher shop, and there is no way to explain it.
"Buy bones?"
"Well, give me ten pounds of bones! I'll give you money. Fang Yuan took out a dollar from his pocket and said.
The bones are very cheap, because there is basically no meat on them, and a pound is only four or five cents.
In addition, after eating this bone, you can buy it to the acquisition station, and you can buy about three cents for a pound of bones, so if you calculate it, you will lose two cents for buying a pound of bones.
"So much?"
"Well, our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and we don't have meat tickets, so we can only buy bones. ”
Fang Yuan didn't sell badly, because what he said was true, there was indeed no butcher shop at home, and this month's butcher shop was sold by my mother.
"Okay, you wait, I'll get it for you. ”
In fact, at this time, the butcher shop is also going to open, and of course the meat to be sold today is ready, and the bones are also removed.
The fat uncle went and came back quickly, and the bones were wrapped in oiled paper and tied up.
"Here you go, it's ten pounds in total. ”
Fang Yuan hurriedly took it, then handed over the money and said, "Give you the money." ”
"Then I'll take it. ”
This money must be given, because the butcher shop is not the fat man's family, but the state-run, and the amount of meat that comes in every day and how much money it sells is counted.
"Hmm!" Fang Yuan nodded.
Ten catties of bones, the fat uncle charged five cents for a square circle, this is the real price, no more and no less.
"Thank you, uncle. After the fat uncle accepted the money, Fang Yuan hurriedly thanked him.
You know, this bone is a sought-after commodity, let's put it this way! Open the door here, and someone will buy it out there.
The reason why Uncle Fat was able to give Fang Yuan a bone that day was because Uncle Fat dropped it when he was picking the meat.
There is only one left, sell it, just one is not worth it, and if you don't sell it, you can't eat it, because they have more families.
It just so happened that Fang Yuan came over to buy meat, his mouth was sweet, and the fat uncle gave it to him as soon as he was happy.
"When you go back, go from the back, don't pass through the butcher's shop. ”
"Knowing uncle, don't worry! ”
"Hmm!
"Good. ”
Fang Yuan came out of the little fat man's house with a large bag of bones, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and walked to the back of the little fat man's house.
Because there was a butcher shop in front, the fat uncle had already said just now, let him not go to the door of the butcher shop, of course Fang Yuan would not leave.
In fact, the distance between walking from the front and walking from the back is about the same, even if it is far, it is only ten or twenty meters, which is nothing at all.
"Little brother, why are you going? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Seeing Fang Yuan coming back, the eldest sister hurriedly said.
The eldest sister didn't see what Fang Yuan was carrying, because Fang Yuan put it behind her back.
"Sister, what do you think this is?" Fang Yuan said as he took out the large paper bag from behind his back.
"What?"
"Go in and say. Fang Yuan went over and pulled the eldest sister into the house, and then put the paper bag on the table of the Eight Immortals.
"This ...... So many bones?" and when Fang Yuan opened the paper bag, the eldest sister shouted in surprise.
The second sister and the third sister were still washing their faces there, but when they heard the voice of the eldest sister, they threw the towel into the basin and ran over quickly.
"Wow! bones, and meat on them. The second sister and the third sister shouted exaggeratedly.
It's not an exaggeration, right? That's exactly what they were trying to say.
The second sister and the third sister shouted, and Fang Yuan realized that it was true, there was obviously more meat on this bone today.
The second sister and the third sister focused on the bones, Fang Yuan was about the same, only the eldest sister pulled Fang Yuan aside and asked, "Little brother, what's going on with these bones?"
"Sister, I bought it!"
"Where did you get the money?" asked the eldest sister with a look of surprise.
Because in this family, all the money is kept by the mother, not to mention the second and third sisters, even the eldest sister has no money.
"My own. Fang Yuan said.
"Your own?" Hearing Fang Yuan say this, the eldest sister nodded and said, "Junior brother, the money your mother gave you is for you to save, not for you to spend indiscriminately." ”
The eldest sister thought that this money was given to Fang Yuan by her mother, because this was the only one to explain, otherwise where would Fang Yuan get the money.
"Sister, it's not my mother's money, it's my own money, I still have some here, give it to you, eldest sister." Fang Yuan took out a handful of money from his pocket, almost four or five yuan, and handed it all to the eldest sister.
"Ahh......h So much!"
The eldest sister is not a person who has never seen money, you must know that her monthly salary is ten yuan!
The reason why she reacted this way was because so much money was taken out by Fang Yuan's child, how could this not surprise her.
Seeing the money handed over by Fang Yuan, the eldest sister hurriedly took it, then folded it and put it in Fang Yuan's pocket and said, "Don't want this money, eldest sister, you keep it for yourself, but you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately." ”
"Uh-huh!" Fang Yuan nodded hurriedly.
"Brother, why do you have so much money?" the third sister walked up to Fang Yuan and asked.
"Listen, you two, don't ask your little brother for money, or I won't be able to spare you. ”
"Got it, big sister. ”
In fact, the third sister is also curious, not because she doesn't want money, because she can't buy things even if she has money, such as the candy cubes that children like to eat, and they don't sell them at all without sugar tickets.
There are also peach cakes that children like to eat, and they also have to have a non-staple food ticket, so to speak, as long as it is eaten, except for bones, everything else needs a ticket.
"Eat, I'll go and wash the bones." "Now that I've bought it back, it's impossible to return it.
Just when the eldest sister walked out holding the bones, she ran into her mother who had just come back from work.
"Where did the bones come from?" asked Mom, frowning.
"I bought it. Before the three of them could speak, the eldest sister said first.
The eldest sister was afraid that her mother would blame Fang Yuan, so she took this matter on herself.
But what a shrewd person my mother is!
"Where did you get the money?" the old mother glanced at Fang Yuan.
In this family, apart from her, it is estimated that Fang Yuan has money in his hands.
"Mom, I bought it from Uncle Fat. Fang Yuan stood up and said.
"I know it's you, okay, hurry up and go to dinner, finish eating and go to school. ”
Mom didn't blame Fang Yuan, don't say that Fang Yuan bought it with her own money, even if she bought it with her money, she wouldn't blame Fang Yuan.
The difference between boys and girls in this matter, there is no way, this era is more patriarchal, especially in this family, Fang Yuan is now the only boy in this family.
After eating, Fang Yuan and the second sister and the third sister went to school, and the eldest sister also went to work with them, as for the bones, my mother took over.
Of course, in the evening, Fang Yuan's family had a beautiful meal around the Eight Immortals table, although it was said that they still ate sweet potatoes and wowotou, but today they had meat to eat, and bone broth to drink.
Ten catties of bones, half of which I ate this time, my mother put the other half away, ready to eat it again next week.
Everyone was full of food today, and it was unprecedented full, the second sister and the third sister both rubbed their stomachs, sitting there and not wanting to get up.
Although there is more meat on the bones today, there is not much in fact, mainly to drink soup, and Fang Yuan alone drank two bowls.
Of course, this is talking about a blue-edged bowl, not the kind of big bowl in Central Plains Province, if it is that kind of bowl, Fang Yuan doesn't want to drink two bowls, one bowl is estimated to be enough for him to eat two meals.
Originally, Fang Yuan was going to pick up something after school this afternoon, but he was pulled back by the third sister for bone broth.
Tomorrow is Saturday, there will be classes in the morning, and the afternoon will be the week, so Fang Yuan is going to go down tomorrow to pick it up, and then start working on Sunday.
After eating the next morning, Fang Yuan ran first, he didn't wait for the second and third sisters, he had already been in school for a few days, Fang Yuan was also familiar with the school, there was no need to follow the two sisters every day.
The main thing is that Fang Yuan has some secrets that he can't let the two sisters know.
"Boss. As soon as he walked to the butcher's shop, the fat man was already waiting for him, and when he saw him, he hurriedly shouted and ran over.
"Let's go. ”
"Hmm!"
It was very close to the school from the butcher's shop, and just when the two of them were about to enter the school, the fat man pulled Fang Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yuan asked, turning his head.
"Boss, isn't that Cao Xianren?" the fat man pointed back.
Fang Yuan glanced back, it was really, not only that, this kid was still alone today.
"Boss, Cao hasn't been to school for a few days, and I heard that he doesn't want to go to school. When the little fat man said this, he kept looking at Fang Yuan.
In fact, the little fat man already knew what Fang Yuan had done that day, but he didn't say anything about it, so so far, no one knew that Fang Yuan did it.
"Well, I heard. Fang Yuan nodded, then pointed at Cao Xianren and said, "Stop him, today I want to let him know why the flowers are so red." ”
