Biography of Wei Zixiu Xian

Chapter 8 Small Town Life
Wei Zi and Wei Dahu followed their uncle Sun Shouyi to Luoxia Town in a donkey cart before dark.

It was too late, and the merchants and hawkers had already closed their stalls. They didn't see any lively scenes, and they didn't eat candied haws. However, the blue bricks and large tiled houses that can be seen everywhere in the town have already given the two ignorant fishermen a lot of knowledge, diluting It's a pity that I didn't eat candied haws.

In fact, Liu Yifan has traveled all over the world for decades, and has seen many cities. If Wei Zi seriously reminisces, he will definitely not feel how rich and prosperous Luoxia Town is.

It's just that Wei Zi always felt that what he didn't experience personally was not his own. Only when he was studying was he willing to look for Liu Yifan's memories, and then truly make these memories his own.

Wei Zi and the others walked through the streets and came to the back of his uncle's shop. Uncle Sun Shouyi jumped off the donkey cart and ran to knock on the door, "Dachun, open the door quickly. I'll pick up the child and come back." After a while, the wooden door creaked and was knocked People opened it from the inside, and Wei Dachun greeted the two nephews and nieces who had already jumped out of the car to enter the house.

Sun Shouyi didn't mention it since he went to set up the donkey cart. Wei Dachun asked as he walked, "Why didn't your younger brother come, and you two came?" Wei Dahu looked around and didn't answer. It's very annoying, let them come when they are older."

Wei Dachun wanted to tease his niece when he heard her answer in a decent manner, "They are both small and noisy, so you are an obedient and sensible adult?"

Wei Zi nodded affirmatively, "Naturally, if Auntie has something to do, just ask Ah Zi, and Ah Zi will take care of it for you." After hearing this, Wei Dachun couldn't help laughing.

Wei Dachun took his two children to see his mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun was sitting in the main room to settle the accounts, and the abacus was crackling. Your nephew and niece? They are really clever, don’t you mean there are two younger ones?”

Wei Dachun pushed the two children, "Call grandma," then turned to talk to his mother-in-law, "My mother was afraid that the two young ones would be too noisy and difficult to coax, so she didn't let them come, but only let the two older ones come and stay for two days. .”

Seeing that her aunt and her mother-in-law had finished talking, Wei Zi took two steps forward, "Grandma, my name is Azi, and I'm my aunt's niece. I'm staying at grandma's house for the past two days, so I'm bothering grandma."

Mrs. Sun saw her speak so fluently, she was beautiful and smart, and she immediately fell in love with her.

Mrs. Sun urged Wei Dachun to cook for Wei Zi and the others quickly, so as not to be hungry, little Ah Zi found brown sugar again, and made brown sugar water for Wei Zi and the others to drink.

Wei Zi ate the candied haws that her uncle specially bought back the next day. She ate half of them, and hid the rest to take back for Shuanzi to taste and learn.

After being fresh for two days, Wei Zi felt that the town was not as fun as the village. People were everywhere all day long, and he couldn't find a chance to practice the whip technique, and even practiced at night.

During the day, Wei Dachun and his wife detained their two children, fearing that they would run away and be picked up by traffickers.

Wei Zi and Du Hu were playing in the shop. The Sun family's shop specialized in collecting seafood from the fishermen, and delivered it to restaurants and rich families in the county every two days.

Early this morning, Wei Dahu and Wei Zi were helping in the shop together. A fisherman boy came to the shop and brought the seafood he brought in from home to sell.

Wei Dachun paid the fisherman's bill, but the boy didn't leave immediately. He hesitated for a long time and touched his bosom, finally took out a bead, and quietly handed it to Sun Shouyi, asking him to help see if the bead was worth anything.

Sun Shouyi carefully looked at the pearl. The pearl was not big, but it had a good luster and a round shape. He handed the pearl to the young man, "This pearl is not bad, and it can be worth some money. If you want to exchange money, you have to take it to a jewelry store. Their Take this bead."

The fisherman left with his pearls in his hands.

Wei Zi saw that the kid was gone, so he tugged on his uncle's lapel, "Uncle, I have a few of these beads too, can mine be exchanged for money?"

Sun Shouyi looked down at her, "You also have that bead, where did it come from, let me take a look for you first."

Wei Zi ran back to the house and showed his uncle the pearls hidden in the bag. The pearls that Wei Zi brought were slightly larger than the fisherman's, with more dazzling luster, round shape, almost no flaws, and the quality was quite good. .

In fact, Wei Zi deliberately searched Liu Yifan's memory to pick out these few valuable but not treasured beads from his own hands.She wanted to help her family improve their lives, but she was also worried that people would miss something that was too good. She tried to remember her mother's saying that it was a crime to be pregnant, and good things were easily hidden from people.

Sun Shouyi returned the beads to her, and asked his daughter-in-law, Wei Dachun, to let Wei Zi show the beads to Wei Dachun again.After the two of them knew that Wei Zi wanted to exchange the bead for money, Wei Dachun took the matter away, "If you want to trust your aunt and uncle, let your uncle go and exchange the money for you back. You little girl, don't show up, lest others know that you exchanged money." There is a lot of money, and people miss it. When the beads are sold, I will give you the money quietly."

Wei Zi naturally believed that his uncle Sun Shouyi would not be greedy for her money, so he nodded in agreement.When Sun Shouyi came back with a happy face, Wei Dachun and Sun Shouyi secretly told Wei Zi that those few pearls were sold for a total of 20 taels, which was far higher than Sun Shouyi's estimated price.It's just that with so much money, the two of them were worried about her being held by a little girl, and told her not to make any noise, and asked her uncle Sun Shouyi to bring the money back to her personally when they went back.

Of course Wei Zi agreed with her aunt's opinion. Her aunt was afraid that her child would lose so much money because she didn't care about it. It wasn't because she was greedy for her money. Wei Zi was quite trustworthy in his aunt and uncle's character.
