Chapter 19 Seeing the Little Sister
The sisters also discussed this issue last night.Su Yunxue is already capable among children of her age.Every day he helps his family fetch water and cook, helps Xu Xiumei clean up, and follows Su Genliang to catch the tide.However, after all, she had no contact with procurement matters at home.She only knew of one place that sold blocks of rock salt, but he didn't know how to get them.

"Are you really going to make salted eggs?" Xu Xiumei asked in surprise.

"Of course!" This was Su Yunman's reply.She drank the porridge in the bowl, "Mother, salted eggs are delicious."

Like Su Yunxue, Xu Xiumei also dotes on the "lost and found" Xiao Yunman very much.Because his little girl wants to eat, and she does. "Let's cook less first. When your sisters have saved enough duck eggs, Mother will make them for you."

Xu Xiumei's trick is to drag words.Children are very forgetful and may forget in two days.

It takes about half an hour to walk from Haiming Island to Sujia Village where the Su family is located.Before reaching the village entrance, she saw a group of children rushing into the village.Su Yunxue's eyes lit up, and she took Yunman's hand. "Quick, quick, quick, it must be the peddler."

These peddlers come from the villages upstream.They are usually under a tall camphor tree in front of the village chief's house.There is a large yard in front, which is used for drying rice in the village.

Su Yunxue ran to the side of the yard panting with Yun Man.He saw many people crowded there, asking questions.

"Li Merchant, what good things do you have this time?"

"Shopkeeper, I heard that you went to Fucheng and brought back a lot of good things?"

"This, this, this head flower, show me."

Merchant Li is not tall.His jacket was not new but it was clean.He wore a little hat askew.A mole on his left eyebrow is impressive, and a pair of smiling eyes add a bit of kindness.A rope hangs around his neck.A rope was attached to a small light wooden box and tied around his waist.Both sides of the wooden box were opened.There are various head flowers, thick rouge and some needlework inside.Both Huatou and Rouge are not exquisite, but they are very popular among village girls.

The crops in Jiangnan are ripe twice a year.Most people living in Sujia Village are surnamed Su and Liu.As long as they have land at home, they can't live too badly.Su Yunman's grandfather has the land passed down from generation to generation, and they have always lived a good life.Even if there is no land, he can be a long-term worker for Liu Yuanwai.After the separation, Mrs. Su directly drove Su Genliang's family out of the village.

The young daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter who surrounded Merchant Li slowly dispersed.He unloaded another wooden box from the gray mule tied under the camphor tree, opened the wooden box with a key he found in his arms, and shouted to the children waiting beside: "All kinds of delicious food, if you If you miss it, it's gone!"

The children who were waiting nearby rushed up and stepped on their feet to look into the wooden box.Su Yunxue hurried forward, but was hugged by Su Yunman: "Sister, do you think that is sister-in-law?"

"Where?"

"The one standing by the camphor tree." Su Yunman pointed.

"Yes, you don't recognize my sister-in-law anymore." Su Hexiang's clothes were different from yesterday's.She was wearing old clothes and had no hairpins on her head.He just tied it with a hair tie.Today doesn't look as bright as yesterday.No wonder Su Yunman didn't recognize it.

The girls who bought flowers and rouge were chatting together, but she was there looking at Mr. Li, who was surrounded by children.

"Yunman," Su Yunxue hesitated, "Shall we buy food for my sister-in-law now?"

"Sister, you can't buy it here." Su Yunman hurriedly waved her hand, walked up to Su Yunxue and whispered, "We all know that our family is poor. If grandma knew that we had money to buy food, she would have asked for more than ten taels of silver." .”
