Chapter 158 Buying New Year's Goods
Looking at Chun Niang, who was in despair, Fat Miao'er took her hand and comforted her: "Auntie, don't be sad, the world is so big, there is always a genius doctor who can heal Auntie."

"Fat Miao'er is right. Sister-in-law Wu must not be discouraged. I heard about it when I was in the Tongsan Mansion. The magistrate's wife was also infertile, and she was cured by a cloud wandering god." Fang Zhu on the side also Speak out to persuade.

After hearing what the two of them said, Chun Niang's face looked a little better, thinking about what the master said just now, hope was rekindled in her heart.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Chun Niang shook her head, pulled Fat Mao'er, and walked down the mountain with Liu Ye'er and Fang Zhu.

When they came to the donkey cart at the foot of the mountain, Wu Yong had already tied Lu Liang up with the spare rope on the donkey cart.

He raised his head and said: "There are too many people to sit down, you go back to the city first, I will escort him and follow behind."

After a few sentences, Wu Yong let everyone go first.

……

within the county.

Fat Miao'er and the others led the donkey cart and walked on the street.

There are many shops on both sides, and the noon sun pours on the surrounding brightly colored pavilions, creating a bustling scene.

It may be because of the approaching Chinese New Year, there are also a lot of hawkers on the street, selling all kinds of things, and the noise of hustle and bustle is endless.

"Selling frozen pears! Big and sweet frozen pears!"

"The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, drive away the beast of the year to bring good luck, and sell firecrackers!"

"Sell brooms, sell brooms, sweep away the bad luck this year..."

"..."

"Sister-in-law, it's almost Chinese New Year, let's go to Yipinxuan to get some good material and make some new clothes, shall we?"

Fang Zhu suggested to Chun Niang.

"I won't buy it, you guys should buy it. This padded jacket was made last year, and it's still very new." Chunniang lost interest, and the sadness between her brows and eyes hadn't dissipated.

Seeing her like this, Fang Zhu felt uncomfortable.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

So does she.

I haven't figured out my own affairs, let alone how to persuade them.

Only Fat Meow and Compass still have the habits of a child.

Cheerfully running at the front, looking left and right curiously, excited.

"This place is much better than the town." Fat Miao'er sighed.

This is the first time she has come to the county seat, and she is attracted by the bustling scene in front of her. The roads are spacious, straight, clean and tidy.

The ground of the commercial street where they are located is paved with bluestone, showing its prosperity.

Fat Miao'er stopped in front of the firecracker stand, her big eyes sparkling.

She has seen firecrackers before and never let them go. She has wanted to try them for a long time.

"Little girl, I want to buy firecrackers, where's your adult?" An old man looked at Fat Miao'er kindly and asked.

"behind."

Fat Miao'er pouted in the direction of Fang Zhu and Chun Niang.

"Grandpa, how did you sell these firecrackers?"

Fat Miao'er asked, wanting to reach out and pick it up to have a look.

The old man quickly stopped: "Little guy, don't move around, this thing is very dangerous."

Dissuaded, Fat Miao'er pursed her mouth unhappily.

Li Xiaodao came over and gently rubbed Fat Miao'er's head.

He was tall and strong, and when the old man saw that it was her elder brother, he immediately said, "This firecracker is a hundred cents."

"One hundred coins? So expensive?"

Fat Miao'er opened her mouth in surprise.

I knew that a catty of cornmeal costs only four Wen, and a catty of meat costs only a dozen Wen.

Such a set of firecrackers can be exchanged for 25 catties of cornmeal.

"Grandpa, one hundred pennies is too expensive, you can buy it cheaper." Fat Miao'er recovered from the shock and said with a smile.

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not acceptable. Who in Yulin County doesn't know that my firecrackers are the loudest."

"Grandpa, you should be cheaper. We are from Dashi Village, and we don't have that much money." Fat Miao'er blinked her watery eyes and said softly.

The old man saw that Fat Miao'er's chubby face was white and tender, very cute, it reminded him of his little granddaughter.

Gritting her teeth, she said in a low voice, "I never pay twice for firecrackers. I'm in love with you, and I'll give you ten or ninety cents cheaper."

"You have to tell the outside world that you bought it for a hundred yuan, or I won't be able to do this business."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Fat Miao'er smiled sweetly, took out her purse, counted out ninety cash and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the copper coin and looked at Fat Miao'er in surprise. He didn't expect a five or six-year-old child to have so much money in his hands.

It is estimated that the condition of the home is good.

No wonder so fat.

The old man smiled, he withdrew his thoughts, handed the firecrackers to Li Xiaodao, and told him to pay attention to moisture-proof, shock-proof and other matters.

After buying the firecrackers, Fat Miao'er happily ran towards Liu Ye'er and Wei Shu.

At this time, the two were buying red paper, and they were going to take it back and cut some window grilles, and write Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters on the rest.

After paying the money, several people bought some chicken, fish, meat for the New Year's Eve dinner, and other items needed for the New Year.

This is the first year that the five of them spent together, which is of great significance and must be celebrated grandly.

After two hours, the donkey cart was fully loaded, leaving only room for seven people to sit.

After a simple meal at the bun shop, the seven of them greeted Wu Yong and drove the donkey cart back to Dashi Village.

On the donkey cart.

After buying the new year's goods, Chunniang's mood improved a lot, and she was chatting with Fang Zhu about the family.

After an hour of driving, with the afterglow of the sun, they returned to Dashi Village, and Fang Zhu got off the car early at the entrance of her own village.

The five of them were exhausted on this day, and they collected the New Year's goods they bought by category. After a simple wash, the five of them went back to their houses.

On the Kang in the west room, Liu Ye'er covered Fat Miao'er with a quilt, and asked softly, "Fat Miao'er, can the illness you have caused Aunt Wu really be cured?"

"Definitely!"

Fat Miao'er answered confidently, turned her head, and fell asleep beautifully.

Hearing this, Liu Ye'er thoughtfully, blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep slowly.

……

Early the next morning.

Fat Miao'er had just had breakfast when Li Hongzao came running with a big basket and a rope.

"Fat Meow, let's catch sparrows!"

Catch sparrows?

Fat Miao'er's eyes lit up, and he happened to be at home with nothing to do.

The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time in winter. Due to the heavy snow cover, it is very difficult for sparrows to find food.

They are cold and hungry, which is the best time for children to catch them.

Fat Miao'er was fully dressed, packed two handfuls of cornmeal, walked out of the main room, and went into the barn.

Zhou Zhoulang, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, saw him and asked, "Hongzao, what are you doing?"

"Go to the threshing ground to catch sparrows."

Li Hongzao raised the big basket and rope in his hands.

"I'll go as well."

Said Zhou Zhoulang stood up, ran out of the yard with a thud, and went home to get his things.

Xiao Hei and Erdan looked at each other, stood up one after another, and ran out of the yard.

Only Qian Dazhuang remained unmoved, still gaiting in a well-behaved manner.

Fat Miao'er came out of the barn, holding a broken basket and rope in his hand, looking at Qian Dazhuang, the only thing left in the yard, with admiration in his eyes.

Only those who are persistent and resilient can succeed, and hard work is a necessary condition for success.
