Xianggong farming

Chapter 110 Entering the Town 4
Ji Xinmiao looked at the shopkeeper and immediately understood that the shopkeeper was afraid that he had no money to save face, and he just wanted to see if he wanted to buy it.So she took out a money bag from her sleeve, poured all the broken silver on the counter and said: "Uncle, all I brought today is broken silver, and I didn't get any change. If there is a small change later, you should pay me less." A copper plate or two."

Hearing what she said, the shopkeeper felt that he had misjudged himself, so he quickly put up his two kinds of cotton and pointed to the introduction one by one: "This is the third grade, the price I just said. This kind of little lady will know it when she looks at it." , the color and silk length are better than the previous ones, and this one costs thirteen cents a catty, which one do you want?"

In fact, although the quality of second-class cotton is much better than that of third-class cotton, in the eyes of a doctor of agriculture and a learning genius, it is really inferior!But this is the only product here, and you have to wait until next year if you want to grow it. If you don’t want to buy it, you really can’t do it, unless you plan to have a cool year.So Ji Xinmiao pointed to the second-grade cotton and said, "Uncle, if you can sell this kind of cotton for twelve cents a catty, give me ten catties. As long as you choose a better one for me, I will give it to you next time." You buy a quilt."

The shopkeeper burst into laughter when he heard it: "Good class, let me give you a penny, even if the small shop earns less. Wait a moment, little lady, and the old man will pick it out for you right away."

A rural woman is ten catties of second-class cotton when she speaks. Except for those who marry their daughters, it is rare to meet this customer, and the shopkeeper is naturally happy.

Seeing that Ji Xinmiao only asked for ten catties of cotton, Qi Dalang felt that it would definitely not be enough.So he said to her: "Daughter-in-law, buy more. After you make two pieces, you will have more cotton. Make another one for your grandma."

Seeing that he still cared about his family members, Ji Xinmiao felt warm in his heart: "I have padded jackets myself, but I don't like Huzi and Linger's padded jackets, so I want to make them a new one. And yours A quilted jacket, can it still be called a quilted jacket? It can only be called Xu. I want to buy some back and make new ones for you. As for grandma, next time I come, I will buy another four catties and put it at Ergu’s place. Mei Er took it back and made it for them, my craftsmanship is really not very good. But you can't hold it back, because you have no choice."

The last sentence made Qi Dalang elated: "I don't dislike it, as long as it is made by my daughter-in-law, I will treat it as a treasure."

Qi Dalang was carrying a load of things, and Ji Xinmiao was about to go back with two big bags.As soon as he arrived at the door of the fragrant cake shop, a scent wafted over, and Ji Xinmiao swallowed uncontrollably.

When Qi Dalang had already placed the burden at the door of the fragrant cake shop, Ji Xinmiao blushed: "Sir, I have bought enough things today, and I can't put this down if I buy any more."

The snacks I bought just now are for the children, but my daughter-in-law didn't buy any.Thinking of the cotton that was used to make a new coat just now, she was reluctant to buy it. Qi Dalang said warmly in his heart: "You wait here, I will go in and buy it. Isn't it just two catties of cakes? Where can I get them? Could it be that you come to the town?" , anyway, the weather is not hot anymore, so I can store some for a few days when I buy some.”

Since he wanted to spoil her, she was welcome too.Anyway, two catties of pastries are not unbearable, what do you do with the money?It is earned to eat and wear.She is not the old man Grandet, she can only earn money but not use it.When Qi Dalang bought two catties of cakes that were her favorite red date cake and mung bean cake, she found that she was really happy.

After putting away all the things, the two got into the carriage. Seeing that they had bought so many things, Liu Fugui's daughter-in-law Chen Guizhu asked her enviously, "Daughter-in-law, have your husband and wife got rich? Why don't you come to the town?" Why is it like doing New Year’s goods?"

Aunt Liu Qi came to sell eggs, and she exchanged all the money for selling eggs for household necessities, and when she saw Qi Dalang bought half a carload of things, she also smiled and said: "Guizhu is right, Aunt Seven, I still want to Let me ask you, why do you buy so many things without festivals?"

Qi Dalang smiled genuinely: "The family has just been separated, and there is nothing in the family. The family needs to eat and drink, so they can't live without buying things."

Everyone laughed silently when they heard the words. Is there any family in the village who doesn't know about the Qi family?In fact, it's not just the Qi family, who in the village can live together with the stepmother and the ex-wife's son-in-law?Either the mother-in-law is too powerful, or the son and daughter-in-law are disobedient, and if they want to live, they have to divide the family. People in the countryside understand this.

At that moment, the atmosphere sank, and then Chen Guizhu joked again: "I can smell a cake smell, maybe Da Lang bought cakes and went home to coax his wife."

"Hahaha, Da Lang is famous for loving his wife in our Shangping Village. It's normal to buy pastries for his wife as snacks. I heard that Da Lang dug a lot of fruit trees from the mountains for his wife and brought them home. But it’s the first one in this town.” Liu Liushu, who was hurrying to the ox cart, answered the conversation with a smile, and the bus became lively again.

There were six people sitting in the bullock cart, and some goods were piled in the middle. Hearing Uncle Liu's jokes, they all started to laugh, and the journey home was lively.Ji Xinmiao is not stingy, nor is she a person who has never seen the world.Especially today she found two ways to make a fortune, thinking about the bright future, she let everyone make jokes, and sometimes she would play tricks with Aunt Liu Qi.This made the women in the same car in the village feel that Ji Xinmiao was getting closer.

At the entrance of the village, everyone heard that they bought the oilcloth to make clothes for the newly planted trees. Although they were surprised, they didn't ask any more questions.So Aunt Liu Qi got out of the ox cart and said, "Xin Miao, there is a jujube tree in the back room of my house, but it is quite old, and the tree is quite big. If you like it, come and chop one."

Ji Xinmiao immediately said politely: "Then thank you Seventh Aunt, I will definitely come to Auntie's house to ask for it then."

Qi Dalang walked forward carrying a load of things, Ji Xinmiao followed him, and the two talked one after the other about the use of the tarpaulin and walked home.

But before reaching the door, I heard Qi Erqin yelling: "Big brother, big brother, you are back, just now that kid Lin Chenghao came to look for you twice, came and ran, ran and came again, just kept asking you what Time to come back."

When Qi Dalang heard this, he felt a little anxious: "Erqin, why did he come to see me?"

Qi Erqin saw that her eldest brother was in a hurry, so she hurriedly told him: "Just now I heard that Lin's sister-in-law ran to Liu Shusheng's house with a hatchet to find his wife desperately."

Qi Dalang became even more anxious when he heard that, he put the things in his house in three steps and then went out: "Daughter-in-law, I'll go to the Lin's house, and I'll clean up here later, you're a little tired, you should take a rest first." .”

Before Ji Xinmiao answered, she went out and ran towards Lin's house at a trotting speed.
