Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 51

Liu Ya also put the small bag of rice in the basket, and said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, when I get home, pour out the rice bag and the basket, and let Xiao Shuer bring it back to you."

"Okay, there's no rush. It's okay to drop by and send it back, or bring it back next time you buy something. If your family can use it, don't rush to send it, just use it." Aunt Li spoke very straightforwardly, while collecting the money In the pocket, while sending Liu Ya out.

When Liu Ya went out, she picked up the two bamboo poles that were left outside the door just now. Aunt Li was surprised when she saw it: "Yo, Ya'er, you are really capable, and you actually came back with such a long bamboo pole."

"Well, my dad said he wants to weave baskets. Actually, I don't expect him to do much work. I just think he's bored in the house, and I just want to find him a job to relieve boredom." Liu Ya didn't expect Liu Dacheng to rely on weaving baskets. make money.

It's just that seeing the self-blame and helplessness on that man's face, Liu Ya would think that it's better to let him do something than to treat him like a useless person.

"What a good boy. The Liu family, you are blessed this time." Aunt Li praised and helped Liu Ya stabilize the bamboo.

At this time, Chun Niu came out of the house, and seeing Liu Ya was about to leave, she hurriedly chased her out the door and said, "Ya'er is leaving? With so many things, and a bamboo pole, I'll give it to you." Thinking of Aunt Li who was still standing beside her, Chun Niu turned her head and said, "Sister-in-law, can I go see Ya'er off?"

"Why not, let's go." Aunt Li nodded in agreement, but added: "Come back early for dinner."

"Hey." Chunniu agreed, and had already taken the basket of vegetables and rice from Liu Ya, and picked up the small basket that Liu Ya took with her when she went out in the morning, and followed Liu Ya away.

After walking a few steps, Liu Ya looked back quietly, and saw that Aunt Li was still standing at the door, her eyes could not stop looking at Chun Niu beside her.

Liu Ya understood a little bit in her heart, and she didn't say anything, but her pace was a little faster.

After walking far away, Liu Ya said to Chun Niu: "It's getting late, Chun Niu, don't send it away, go back and cook for your sister-in-law."

"What's the hurry? It's still so far away. If you want to carry bamboo and two baskets by yourself, how can you do it? I'll take you home." Chun Niu is honest, and she didn't recognize Liu Ya's words. mean.

Liu Ya reckoned that Chun Niu didn't understand what her sister-in-law meant at all.Although Aunt Li is generous to herself, getting along with sister-in-law is the most difficult.Maybe Aunt Li thinks that Chun Niu should help cook and tidy up at home instead of running out with her in such a hurry.

But after all, it's not their own business, and Liu Ya can't tell the truth, let alone gossiping behind her back.What's more, Aunt Li treats her well, she can't talk about those family affairs.

Walking all the way, Chunniu didn't notice Liu Ya's thoughts at all, and she didn't even think about going home to help.Walking to the door of a house, he reminded Liu Ya: "Ya'er, I just heard you say you want to buy oil in the house? It must be too late to go to Xiaopo outside the village now, isn't it just at the door of Chen's house?" , why don’t you go in and buy some oil by the way? Or come back later to buy it?”

In fact, Liu Ya didn't know which one was the Chen family at all. Hearing Chun Niu's reminder, she nodded and said, "Well, since you passed by, let's buy it back. There is indeed no oil for cooking at home."

"Come on, I'll help you hold the bamboo pole, you go." Chunniu said, putting down the basket in her hand, and helping Liu Ya put down the bamboo pole on her shoulder.

Liu Ya pursed her lips, looked in the direction of her home, and saw that there was not much to go, so she said to Chun Niu: "Chun Niu, you go back. I don't think it's getting too early, you should go back and help your sister-in-law Pack up. Don't make your family wait for you. "

Chunniu was startled again when Liu Ya asked her to go back, and seemed to understand what Liu Ya meant.Immediately, his complexion was not so good, he seemed a little worried, and there was grievance in his eyes.

Liu Ya looked at Chun Niu's appearance, but she didn't understand whether she still had something to tell her, or she just didn't want to go back.

Liu Ya had no choice but to say: "I'm not driving you away, it's too late for you to see me off. I'm just thinking that Aunt Li will cook for the whole family by herself, and I'm afraid she won't be too busy..."

"Well, I know, it's because I'm shallow-minded, and I haven't thought about it that much." After Chunniu finished speaking, she set the two bamboo poles next to a tree and put the basket away, and said, "Then I'll go back. gone."

"Go back, I'll find you to play when I have time." Liu Ya said, and waved to Chun Niu.

Chun Niu smiled, looking a bit reluctant.But still turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, Chunniu turned around again and said to Liu Ya, "Ya'er, I'm not lazy, in fact, I usually help my sister-in-law with work."

Liu Ya felt that Chun Niu didn't need to explain this to herself.Could it be that I reminded her repeatedly to go back and help, making Chun Niu think too much?
Liu Ya could only shake her head and said, "I know, it's getting late just because of the sky. Come back quickly, otherwise I won't worry about you being alone. I bought oil and went back."

Only then did Chun Niu turn her head and leave, as if she was reluctant to leave.

Liu Ya always felt that Chun Niu should have something to say, but she also felt that it was just gossip from parents, which she didn't want to hear.It's fine if Chun Niu leaves.

After Chunniu was gone, Liu Ya stepped forward and knocked on the door of Chen's house.

There are a pair of copper rings on the door of Chen's house. The door panel looks greasy, but it really looks like an oil seller's house.

After knocking on the door, there was a reply from inside. It sounded like a woman, who should be quite old, and the reply sounded weak.

"Who is it?" The woman asked after opening the door.

Liu Ya said: "I'm Ya'er from the Liu family, here to buy oil."

"Oh." The person who opened the door was a woman in her 60s. Her gray hair was tied into a loose bun at the back of her head. There were not many wrinkles on her face, but her complexion was black and yellow, and she looked very tired.

The woman seemed to be taken aback when she saw Liu Ya, and then asked: "You are the second girl of the Liu family? The one who just got well?"

"It's me." Liu Ya didn't know how to address this woman, so she could only nod politely.

The woman asked again: "Come in. Buy oil?"

"Well, the house is out of gas. But there is not much money left. How can I sell this oil?" Liu Ya followed the woman into the yard, and saw a pile of sacks as tall as a person in the small yard. It is soybean or rapeseed, which is used to extract oil.

The woman led Liu Ya into a hut, where there were several large black tanks.The woman pointed to the tanks one by one and said: "Rapeseed oil costs 25 renminbi a catty, and soybean oil costs 35 renminbi a catty. There are also two kinds of mixed oil, more rapeseed oil and less soybean oil. Usually, your family buys this kind of oil. It's thirty Wen a catty."
