Chapter 272 Buy a silver hairpin for her
People in the village go shopping in a car as a small group. They have to follow the car and do everything together, so only those who are close to each other will go to the same car. Hu Wenhua, Li Wen, Xu Laosan, Fan Xiaoliu and the four of them can chat better. When traveling, Often together.
It's the same this time.
Fan Xiaoliu stretched his head and looked outside the alley again and again. Fucheng was obviously much noisier than the last time he came here. He turned to Hu Wenhua who was counting coins and asked curiously: "I see something has obviously happened in Fucheng. Why don't you go into the city?" Just ask when the time comes?”
Hu Wenhua didn't say anything and kept counting all the copper coins he deserved. After making sure there were no mistakes or omissions, he put them into a cloth bag. Then he looked up at Fan Xiaoliu and replied: "My sister said you can't talk to the sheepherders when cutting firewood." Chat, because you can’t cut firewood if you chat. When it gets dark and the sheep are full, where is your firewood?
I thought we were just cutting wood today, and we came to Fucheng just to sell rabbits! As soon as I got here, I asked around, what should I do if I delayed my business? If I couldn’t sell the rabbit and make money, what would I buy to take home? "
Li Wen is the oldest and most stable among the four. Hearing Hu Wenhua's words, he agreed with Hu Wenhua's words and kept nodding.
Who doesn’t know something is going to happen as soon as they enter the city? But he doesn't care even if the big boss distributes money!
After all, the money distributed by the old man may not reach his hands, and he may not be able to grab it, but the rabbit is really his. If he sells it, he will make money, and he can sell it for a long time. Compared with illusory things, Real money is the best.
Xu Laosan was not as steady as Li Wen, nor as jumpy as Fan Xiaoliu. He was also curious about what happened, but now after hearing what Hu Wenhua said, he immediately fell in love with Hu Wenhua.
That's right, my family didn't give me any money this time, so I was counting on the income from selling the rabbit to buy things to go home. If the rabbit hadn't been sold, wouldn't the things I wanted to buy have been lost? The people at home who are looking forward to it must not be disappointed.
You can watch the fun at any time, and it’s not too late to ask around now, and with money in hand and confidence in mind, the feeling of walking on the road is completely different!
"That's right, Brother Wenhua is right, we can't just ignore the main business and hit here and there with a hammer, and then we won't get anything."
This was the first time that Fan Xiaoliu heard the saying of cutting firewood and herding sheep. After thinking about it in his mind, he found that it was indeed true!
"What my second sister-in-law said is really good, I can understand it."
Hearing Fan Xiaoliu, who is also from the Fan family, praise his sister, Hu Wenhua was extremely proud, "That's right, my sister is the best.
But we sold the rabbit and have some money with us. We can stop by and ask about it later. "
When it comes to money, the four of them are very happy.
Last time it was the first time to sell rabbits, most of them sold two or three, but this time there were five or six more, and three or four less. A fat rabbit cost more than a hundred yuan, which meant that the least they had was four. Five hundred cents!
One rabbit cost Hu Wenhua 5 cents, and even six rabbits only cost 30 cents. The copper coins received from six rabbits amounted to more than 700 cents!
Thirty articles are nothing compared to more than 700 articles.
Li Wenxu and Fan Xiaoliu, the third child, were very satisfied. Their rabbits were not too many but not too few among the team. Each of them had about 500 silver, and half a tael of silver could buy a lot of things. They were satisfied.
Hu Wenhua is also very satisfied.
This time the people in the village sold more rabbits, nearly twice as much as last time, and he counted them on a per rabbit basis, and his income was nearly twice as much as last time.
Last time it was more than 300 Wen, this time it was more than 600 Wen, which added up to almost one or two silver coins.
One time he overheard her chatting with her sister and said that she wanted to buy a hairpin. Aunt Ding said that her hairpin was not broken and she didn't need to buy it, but she didn't agree.
He and his mother had inquired, and found that a silver hairpin weighed about three or four cents, and including the silversmith's wages, it would not exceed five hundred cents.
He bought her a gift.
Jiang Hehu was clamoring for candy last time. She said the five-color candy balls at Xuji Pastry Shop in Fucheng were delicious, but a bit expensive, costing 70 yuan a serving.
He thought about it and bought three portions, one for Jiang Hehu to share, one for Yan Qiuxing to return to Late Summer, and one for her. Now that the weather is not as hot as before, she can keep it and eat it slowly.
Another time she gave Yan Qiuxing a few pieces of jujube paste cake, saying that she liked eating this kind of cake very much, and her father would bring it to her every time he went to Fucheng.
Uncle Ding hadn't been to Fucheng for a long time. She was afraid that she might have run out of jujube paste cakes, so she happened to buy some and take them back with her. She also brought some for her sister and grandma...
Li Wen pulled the cart, Hu Wenhua walked on one side of the cart, thinking about what he needed to buy, and Xu Laosan and Fan Xiaoliu walked on the other side of the cart.
The streets are full of people, tattered and dirty everywhere.
Although the clothes of the three men except Hu Wenhua were clean and tidy, they were patched one after another and were no better than those of the refugees.
People in the village have indeed earned some money in the past year, which is better than before. However, they were really poor in the past. The money they earned was needed to build houses and buy gray tiles, stock up on grain and salt, and buy farm tools, pots, pans, etc. Waiting for necessities, in the end it falls to oneself so little that there is none.
Fabrics have always been in short supply and expensive. It takes most families several years to buy a new set of clothes. They discard the old ones to wear for the children underneath, and then layer them down until the clothes they wear next are no different from the rags they wear.
Fan Xiaoliu's body was like this. The hem of his short clothes was torn into whiskers, and his elbows and knees could not be mended, and they were clearly exposed.
Fortunately, he is not from a girl's family. Otherwise, if his elbows and knees are exposed, what reputation would he have?
He didn't care, and followed behind Li Wenxu's third son Hu Wenhua, muttering excitedly: "My mother told me to buy some cloth and make me a new dress! I will wear it when I meet someone!"
In the first half of the year, their family planted potatoes with their second cousin, and they had enough food to eat without having to buy food. Most of the money earned from delivering potatoes to Mr. Bai was used to buy coarse salt and farm tools, and the remaining half was saved by his mother, saying that it would be saved for him to meet a girl.
And if he met someone, he would need a new set of clothes, and he had new clothes to wear!
Hearing about the matchmaking, Xu Laosan's eyes lit up and he joked: "You've been looking for a girl so early? I remember you're only sixteen, right?"
"Well, my mother said it's September now, and the Chinese New Year will come in a few months. I'll be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If I don't like her, I'll be one year older. I have to get married earlier. If I'm late, the good ones will be gone." Fan Xiaoliu didn't say anything, but his mother said that if he didn't look for a girl earlier, if other girls didn't like him, it would be even harder for him to be liked when he's older, and he'd end up being an old widower.
He didn't want to be an old widower!
Li Wen turned around and said: "We men have to get married earlier, otherwise other girls won't like him and he's older, and it's even harder to get married, and he'd end up being an old widower."
Fan Xiaoliu:... Why did Big Brother Li say exactly the same thing as his mother? Did Big Brother Li's mother say the same thing to him?
