Chapter 43

Seeing the two people who had only come out for so long, Ali couldn't help asking, "Why did you go in for so long?"

"A little trouble, brother Ali, let's go." Xu Banxia put the four treasures of the study he bought on the ox cart.

Ali looked at the bulging bag, but didn't say anything, but asked Xu Banxia: "What else do you want to buy?"

"Let's go eat something first, I'm a little hungry." Xu Banxia said while rubbing his stomach.

"There is a stall not far ahead that sells chaos. I ate it once, and it tastes pretty good." Ali pointed to the front, then looked at Xu Banxia. "are you going?"

Xu Banxia didn't answer Ali, but looked at Liu Wenxiu. "Wenxiu, do you want to eat Chaos?"

Hearing that Ali said Chaos was delicious, Liu Wenxiu immediately didn't want to go. "Xia Xia, let's go eat something else."

Xu Banxia naturally followed Liu Wenxiu, if he said to eat something else, he would eat something else. "Okay, what would Wenxiu want to eat? I'll take you there."

"Xia Xia, let's go eat noodles." After thinking for a long time, Liu Wenxiu thought of this. It was his first time in town, and he didn't know what to eat.

Xu Banxia followed his will. "Okay, let's go eat noodles."

Ali spoke out at the right time. "Then I'll take you there."

Xu Banxia nodded. "Then thank you, Brother Ali."

Liu Wenxiu felt a little uncomfortable, but he and Xia Xia didn't know where noodles were sold, so they had to ask Ali to take them there.

Ali took them to the noodle stall.

Xu Banxia asked for three bowls of noodles, and after she finished eating, she asked Ali to take her to a place where she could make bows and arrows.

After arriving at the place, Xu Banxia looked it over, and there were bows and arrows of all sizes hanging on the wall.

"What kind of bows and arrows do you guys want?" the boss asked politely.

"Will the boss make crossbows?" Xu Banxia asked kindly.

The boss was stunned. "Crossbow? What kind? I haven't heard of any crossbow."

This time it was Xu Banxia who was stunned. "Haven't heard of it? How come?"

Oh, she forgot that this is a superficial dynasty, and there may be some things that are not in this place.

"Boss, wait a minute, I'll show you." While speaking, Xu Banxia took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he just bought, and planned to draw the blueprint of the crossbow.

After about half an hour, Xu Banxia handed the drawn drawings to the boss.

"Boss, just follow this blueprint. My drawing is also very detailed. Can the boss make it?"

The boss took the drawing into his hand and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he raised his head and said, "Little girl, I can make this, but it will take more than half a month, and the price...is a bit expensive."

"I can wait for time. Tell me the price, boss." Originally, her crossbow was time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and she was prepared for the price.

The boss didn't expect her to speak so simply, so he glanced at the drawings and quoted a price. "15 taels."

"No problem." She can still accept 15 taels, and there is still a lot of money for selling Ganoderma lucidum.

The boss was taken aback for a moment, then looked Xu Banxia up and down, can this little girl really spend so much money?

But after thinking about it, since she came here, she must have the money to do it. Thinking about it this way, the boss was relieved.

"Girl, please pay half of the money first, and the rest will be paid when I'm ready."

Xu Banxia took eight taels to the boss. "Here is eight taels, the boss has taken it."

The boss was a little surprised. "Girl, I took too much, I said half."

Xu Banxia didn't care either. "It's okay, the boss has put it away, and I will come to pick up the crossbow in half a month."

"Don't worry, girl, I will do my best to do it well." The boss said solemnly after accepting the money.

"Trouble boss."

After a few polite words, Xu Banxia, ​​Liu Wenxiu and others left.

Xu Banxia went to buy some rice noodles and put them on the ox cart, and finally went to the stall selling meat buns and bought five big buns.

One was given to Ali, and the rest was going to be taken back to eat with Qin Shi and the others.

Xu Banxia also bought a basket of small steamed buns, the small ones, and gave them to Liu Wenxiu to eat on the way.

Liu Wenxiu was very happy in his heart, but when he saw that Xu Banxia also bought a meat bun for Ali, Liu Wenxiu pursed his mouth and looked unhappy.

When he was about to go back in the bullock cart, Xu Banxia suddenly remembered that he forgot to buy something.

So, she asked Liu Wenxiu and Ali to stay where they were, and asked Ali to take care of Liu Wenxiu and go shopping for her.

When Liu Wenxiu was about to speak, Xu Banxia had already run away.

He looked at Xu Banxia's figure getting further and further away, and wanted to follow.

But Xia Xia left him here alone and asked Ali to look after him.

He didn't want to stay with Ali, he wanted to go with Xia Xia, why didn't Xia Xia take him with him.

The more Liu Wenxiu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he glared at Ali, and then looked back angrily.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Banxia came back with an extra burden in his hand.

Liu Wenxiu made a small face angrily, and Xu Banxia saw his unhappy face, so he asked, "Wenxiu, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?"

"Xia Xia, why don't you take me with you?" Liu Wenxiu said aggrievedly.

Xu Banxia was stunned for a moment before realizing why Liu Wenxiu was unhappy. It turned out that she blamed her for not taking him with her and leaving him here alone.

"Wenxiu, I went to buy some books for you. Didn't you say that you want to gain fame? You can't do it without reading books, so don't be angry, okay?" And she will send him to school in the future , Now reading a book does not affect anything.

Liu Wenxiu stared at Xu Banxia fixedly, he was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Xia to buy books for him.

"Xia Xia, it's a waste of money to buy books. In fact, I don't need to read books. I'm very happy that Xia Xia bought me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." He also bought meat buns for him, which he didn't dare to think about before. .

But now, it has come true.

He is already very content. His mother told him that one should not be too greedy, one must know how to be content.

When he has a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he is really contented, and he is also very happy.

"What's the waste of money? Wenxiu should study hard and become the person you want to be, understand?" Xu Banxia patted Liu Wenxiu's head habitually. "When you pass the exam, we can live a good life."

Liu Wenxiu nodded heavily, and the fighting spirit in his heart became more and more determined.

He must obtain fame and fame so that his family can live a good life!

He can't fail Xia Xia, and he can't fail his parents.

The three of them got into the bullock cart and returned to Taohua Village.

Listening to the movement outside the door, Mrs. Qin knew who was back, and hurried to open the door.

"Wenxiu, Banxia, ​​you're finally back!" She was always worried about the danger they would encounter in such a distant town, but fortunately, both of them came back safely.

The hanging heart in Qin's heart immediately let go.

"Mother, I bought some things back." Xu Banxia jumped off the bullock cart.

When Qin heard this, she noticed that there were many things on the cart.

She frowned and said, "Banxia, ​​why did you buy so many things again? It's a waste of money."

Xu Banxia sighed deeply, and the Qin family came again.

"Mom, I bought these for my family's needs, so how can it be a waste? I only bought them when I needed them."

Qin knows that Xu Banxia has a lot of money, but if she has money, she doesn't spend it like she does, it's a bit extravagant.

If things go on like this, if you marry Wenxiu in the future, how can you manage the family?It's good to be undefeated.

Qin finally sighed, and without saying anything, helped unload the cart and moved it into the house.

Ali has great strength and helps to carry heavy things.

After moving everything in, Ali was about to leave when Xu Banxia stopped him. "Brother Ali, why don't you stay at my house for dinner, I'm so grateful for your ox cart driving us to town today."

"It's not necessary for a small matter." Ali politely refused.

Qin Shi followed suit and persuaded him to stay and have a meal before leaving, but Ali still politely refused.

Xu Banxia then continued to persuade him. "Brother Ali, if you don't stay and have a meal before leaving, I won't have the nerve to ask you to help me in the future."

"You treated me to a bowl of noodles and a meat bun today, and these are your thanks to me." After Ali finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Xu Banxia didn't persuade him to stay, and let him go.

Liu Wenxiu didn't expect Xu Banxia to stay Ali down to finish the meal, and he felt upset again.

Fortunately, in the end Ali refused and did not stay. Seeing him leave, Liu Wenxiu's unhappiness disappeared instantly.

However, Xu Banxia didn't know these thoughts in Liu Wenxiu's heart. If he knew, Xu Banxia would probably "fill chicken soup" for Liu Wenxiu again.

Liu Dashan was not at home and went to work in the field.

Xu Banxia took out the steamed bun that Liu Wenxiu didn't eat. "Mom, I went to the town today to buy big meat buns, and I also bought small steamed buns."

"Originally, Xiaolongbao was bought for Wenxiu to eat, but he said he didn't want to eat it, and he wanted to keep it and bring it back for his parents to taste."

Qin's heart was very moved, but after she was moved, she couldn't help talking about Xu Banxia, ​​"Banxia, ​​don't buy these next time, it's too expensive and a waste of money."

Xu Banxia: "..."

When will Qin's idea of ​​wasting money be changed?

She used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, and she also lived a good life. Since she married Liu Dashan, why did she think so... Sigh, she said everything she bought was a waste of money.

No, she must change Qin's thinking!

It can't go on like this, or every time she buys something and comes back, she will say it's a waste of money.

In fact, she can also understand Qin's thinking. Although she has money now, she can't be considered a rich woman, but she has to buy what she should buy.

You can buy whatever you want to eat, anyway, you don’t often go to the town to buy things, just once in a while, two or three times.

"Mother, don't worry, our family's life will get better and better, so don't talk about wasting money in the future, mother, you have to believe me." Xu Banxia's eyes are firm, and people can't help but want to believe.

Qin Shi looked at Ban Xia's eyes and nodded unconsciously. "Mother believes in Pinellia, and our family's life will get better and better."

"Then mother, let's try a steamed bun." Xu Banxia returned to the topic just now.

Qin didn't reach out to take it, but said: "Ban Xia, let's eat when your father comes back."

"While it's still warm, let's try one first, there are so many more anyway."

Qin couldn't hold back Xu Banxia, ​​so he took one and ate it.

"The taste is very good, very fragrant." The kind that makes people want to eat again after eating.

She hasn't eaten this kind of food since the fall of their Qin family.

"Let's put the rest away, and take it out for dinner when your father comes back."

"Then I'll put it in the kitchen and heat it up when I'm making dinner."

"it is good."

Xu Banxia put the Xiaolongbao and four big meat buns in the kitchen.

Then I went to the place near the foot of the mountain and cut some tender grass to feed the cows at the door.

He also fed water to the cattle of Cao Lizheng's family. After the cattle were full, Xu Banxia led the cattle to Cao Lizheng's family.

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly chased Xu Banxia out. "Xia Xia, wait for me, I'm going too."

"I'm going to return Uncle Cao's ox cart, what are you doing with me?"

"I'm going, I have nothing to do anyway." Liu Wenxiu curled his lips.

"Come on, let's go."

Not long after, they arrived at Cao Lizheng's home.

Xu Banxia knocked on the door, and it was Cao Lizheng who opened the door.

"Uncle Cao, I'll bring you back the ox cart." Xu Banxia said with a smile.

Seeing Xu Banxia, ​​Cao Li was surprised. Ali sent the ox cart back before, but he didn't expect it to be Banxia this time.

"Ban Xia, why didn't Ali send it back this time?"

"I can't bother brother Ali all the time, and I'm the one who rented the ox cart, so I have to go there myself." Xu Banxia laughed twice. "I'm embarrassed to trouble Brother Ali every time."

Cao Lizheng nodded and said, "Why don't Banxia come in and sit for a while."

"No Uncle Cao, I have to go back and hunt pig grass to feed the pigs." Xu Banxia declined.

Naturally, Cao Lizheng couldn't keep her anymore. "Then be careful on the way back when you go back."

"Hey, Uncle Cao."

Afterwards, Xu Banxia took Liu Wenxiu back.

On the way, Xu Banxia met Yang Hua, she just walked around her as if she hadn't seen her.

And Liu Wenxiu completely ignored Yang Hua, not even raising his eyelids.

Seeing that Liu Wenxiu didn't say hello to her, Yang Hua felt a little uncomfortable, so she chased after her.

"Brother Wenxiu, why don't you talk to me when you see me?"

Yang Hua ran to Ban Xia and the others to block the way, and the two were forced to stop.

"I didn't see you, what did I tell you?" Before Xu Banxia could say anything, Liu Wenxiu spoke first.

When Yang Hua heard this, she was very angry. "Then... Brother Wenxiu sees me now, so he can tell me, right?"

"I have nothing to say to you." Liu Wenxiu replied abruptly.

Yang Hua was so angry that her face turned green. "Brother Wenxiu, you... why do you have her... and ignore me? You would have greeted me when you saw me before." While speaking, Yang Hua pointed to Xu Banxia next to her.
