Chapter 497

After eating the wontons, Si Zhengping asked Si Qing to wait at the stall for a while while he went to deposit the ox cart.

Si Qing nodded in agreement.

After Si Zhengping left, Si Qing chatted with the old man who made wontons.

Ask him if he hasn't been out of the stall for a while.

After hearing this, the old man sighed, with a hint of melancholy on his face: "Yes, my old lady was ill, and I took care of her for a few days."

"Then is she better now?" Si Qing asked.

The old man shook his head, his eyes flushed slightly: "She went to reunite with the children."

Si Qing heard that there was something in his words, and seeing his sad expression, he guessed that his old lady had passed away, but why did he say that he was reunited with the children?

Could it be that the old man's children are all dead?

Si Qing couldn't help asking one more question, and the old man gave Si Qing a surprised look: "You little girl is quite smart."

In the past, when he and others answered this way, everyone didn't understand what he meant, but this little girl actually understood it.

The old man took a careful look at Si Qing, and suddenly remembered that he had seen her before: "Are you that young but very senior aunt?"

Si Qing nodded, and said in a childish voice, "That's right."

The old man chuckled, and his slightly sad expression was slightly diluted.

The two chatted for a few more words, and it wasn't until Si Zhengping came back that Si Qing got up and left, and waved goodbye to the old man before leaving.

The old man looked at Si Qing with a smile, and his eyes became sore for some reason as he watched her disappearing figure.

"If my granddaughter was rescued at that time, she should be as old as her, right?"

The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and continued to wrap the wontons.

Si Qing and Si Zhengping went all the way to South Street. It is said that there is a well-known carpenter's shop in Yang County in South Street called "Mengji Carpenter". The furniture made by this shop is very exquisite.

Si Qing had money in his hand, so naturally he wouldn't treat him badly, and the soft couch was of course better.

So two people, one big and one small, went to South Street and went straight to the "Mengji Carpenter" shop.

Xu is well-known and has a good business. This carpenter's shop is very easy to find. As soon as you enter South Street and walk 500 meters ahead, you will see the "Mengji Carpenter" shop.

The front of this shop is very delicate. Compared with the ordinary carpenter's shops nearby, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

It is a person who stands in these carpentry shops and subconsciously thinks that "Meng Ji" must have the best craftsmanship.

Si Qing and Si Zhengping are no exception.

The two of them entered "Mengji Carpenter" almost without stopping.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few pieces of furniture placed in the shop, all of which were made of high-quality mahogany, with exquisite styles and exquisite patterns, which made people like it at first glance.

However, there is no soft couch or other furniture inside, most of them are Taishi chairs, wooden boxes and other light and common things.

Si Zhengping stepped forward and asked the clerk in the shop: "My little brother, do you have soft couches in your shop?"

The guy was busy wiping the Linglong box in his hand, when he heard the question, he raised his head and glanced at Si Zhengping.

With just one glance, disdain appeared on his face instantly.

"Go, go, we only have expensive furniture here, can you afford it as a country bumpkin? Do you know what a soft couch is, just come up and ask? If you want to buy furniture, go to another place, don't lower the grade of our family !"

"Why do you speak so meanly? You are just a guy. Why do you drive away the guests?"

Si Zhengping's face turned livid from anger. He knew the world, and many merchants liked to praise the high and depress the low, and looked down on ordinary farmers.
