Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 172 Stop Selling Firewood

When Uncle Liu saw Liu Ya, he was also taken aback for a moment.He should know that Ya'er was originally a silly girl, but suddenly she is no longer stupid, of course it is strange.

Xiao Shu'er immediately showed pride, pulled Liu Ya and said proudly: "Yes, my second sister is not stupid anymore. It has been better for a while. Even if you haven't come here, Uncle Liu, you don't know about it."

"Oh, that's really good." Uncle Liu said, and looked at Liu Ya.Seeing Liu Ya's clear and flickering eyes, she asked with a smile: "The second girl of the Liu family, what do you want to buy?"

Liu Ya has been squatting on the side of the shelf to look at those things, they are small daily utensils, and most of them are children's toys; there are also some rags and wires tangled into small balls, which can be regarded as emergency things.It looks quite complete, but there is nothing new, and I don't see what is needed.

Liu Ya shook her head and said, "No, my family is poor."

Hearing what Liu Ya said, Uncle Liu still had a smile on his face. It is estimated that this kind of smile is on his face as a street peddler.Then he turned his head and asked Xiao Shu'er, "Shu'er, Uncle Liu didn't push the cart today, so he can't collect firewood. Next time you come, collect more firewood and give you a good price."

Hearing Uncle Liu talk about collecting firewood, Xiao Shu'er turned to look at Liu Ya.Because Liu Ya had already told him that the firewood they collected would not be sold, so they would store it in the cave they found.So now that Uncle Liu said to collect firewood, he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing what Xiao Shuer was thinking, Liu Ya raised her head and asked, "Uncle Liu, I would like to ask where are you going to sell this firewood after collecting it? It would take a lot of effort to pull it out from the mountains with a cart." Well, what a waste of money."

What Liu Ya said was quite honest, and she was still an 11-year-old girl, so she didn't seem to have any intentions.Then Uncle Liu has no taboos, or someone else has asked this question, so he replied directly: "Take it to the city and sell it to a big restaurant."

Speaking of this, Uncle Liu said with a proud face: "It's not that uncle is blowing, the restaurant in the city is as high as three floors, and it is very grand. Don't say it is so much firewood, even if it is pulling a large They also want a car, and the price is negotiable."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Ya again, and asked, "Why, the second girl of the Liu family, can you also collect firewood for your younger brother? If you can also collect firewood, you can collect more, and Uncle Liu will take it later. The price is also easy to say of."

Liu Ya smiled and said, "My younger brother doesn't collect firewood anymore, he has to go to school."

"Study?" Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Shu'er and then at Liu Ya, and asked, "Then your family won't sell firewood anymore?"

"Even if my brother and I go up the mountain every day, how much firewood can we still collect. Uncle Liu, you must not only collect firewood from our family, right? It's not bad for our share, is it?" Liu Ya finished speaking, pulling Xiaoshu'er He stood up and said, "Uncle Liu, we went out for a walk early in the morning, and we haven't eaten breakfast yet. You should be busy, we're going back."

"Hey, hey... Shu'er, you won't collect firewood in the future, what will your family rely on for food?" Uncle Liu asked behind him without giving up.

Xiao Shu'er also knew that the second sister deliberately didn't want to sell the firewood to Uncle Liu, so she turned her head and said, "When I finish my studies, I will make money, and I will be able to let my father, my eldest sister, and my second sister live."

Hearing what Xiao Shuer said, Uncle Liu shook his head and murmured: "Children from poor families want to study? Do they have to be rich if they study? Can everyone be a housekeeper or bookkeeper? Can't do these things?" Well, what's the use of reading? Messing around."

After chanting, Uncle Liu took care of the adults and children around him who were looking at things.He was also afraid that some dishonest child would take things away or break them, so he ignored the siblings of the Liu family.

Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er walked home, and when they were far away from Uncle Liu's temporary stall, Xiao Shu'er smiled and said, "Second Sister, once you say you won't sell firewood, see if Uncle Liu is in a hurry. Let's The small water shop is quite profitable, so of course we don’t need to collect firewood.”

Liu Ya looked back again, and then smiled.Then he said to Xiao Shuer: "It's not that we don't stop collecting firewood. This is another way, and we have to take good care of it. It's just that we don't sell the firewood to him. It's so expensive to buy a fishing line. His things are not necessarily very good. If you want to earn money from a child like you, the price you pay for your firewood may not be fair. We don’t lie to others, and we can’t be deceived by others. Turn around and find a way for the second sister , let’s collect firewood and sell it ourselves.”

"Oh, so there is another way. Second sister, why do you have so many ways to make money?" Xiao Shu'er looked at Liu Ya with admiration again.

Liu Ya rubbed Xiao Shu'er's head, and said: "The way is all in the mind, the bigger the heart, the more thoughts, the wider the way. Let's go, go home for dinner, and the second sister has to go out later."

"Second Sister, it's going to rain today, where are you going?" Xiao Shu'er cared for Liu Ya from the bottom of her heart, and she even pulled Liu Ya's sleeve when speaking.

Liu Ya also looked at the sky, and said: "It won't rain even if it's making money. The second sister is indeed busy, and she has to run around for a few days. But maybe it will be fine after a while."

Xiao Shu'er suddenly looked disappointed, and said: "Then you still said that you taught me to write during the day. When you go home, it will be night again."

"Teach, teach now. Go home and have dinner, I will teach you first before leaving, there is still time." Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er were talking, and they had already arrived at the door of the house.

Liu Xu'er has already served the breakfast, although it is simple, it is still hot.

Liu Ya looked at it with a shy smile, and said to Liu Xu'er: "Eldest sister, you are really hardworking, you are the first to get up every day. I can't get up early, and I can't always help, so don't worry about it."

"Why don't I care? When you are asleep, I have to get up early. When can I sleep in and eat something ready-made?" Liu Xu'er said, stuffing the chopsticks into the hands of Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er, and The two glanced blankly.

Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er smiled, and said in unison: "When I make money, I'll hire a maid to serve you. Haha..."

"Trick me again. Eat quickly. If you earn enough money, you can eat a full meal and eat well. What else do you need to hire maids for? I can work and don't waste that money." After Liu Xu'er finished speaking, she held a large bowl The food was delivered to Liu Dacheng.

Both Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er were smiling, and this breakfast was even more lively.

After breakfast, Liu Ya promised to teach Xiao Shu'er to write, and the two of them squatted in the yard, and each broke a branch and started to write.It just happened to have rained, the ground was wet, and the written words were much clearer than before.

Liu Ya carefully watched Xiao Shu'er's writing stroke by stroke, and then carefully corrected the strokes and turns of his writing, and taught him how to use the strength of his wrist to write beautifully.
