A small peasant girl

Chapter 21 Price Conversion
Wenzi stepped on a country road paved with loess and small stones, and stood beside Liu Meihua, but his eyes kept looking at Liujia Village, as if he wanted to capture everything in his eyes like a camera.

Liujia Village is not considered a wealthy village, no matter in terms of population size or overall economic status, it can only be regarded as a middle-lower village.

Most of the villagers still live in houses made of loess and wood, and those with gray tiles on the roof are considered to be in a good family.The mud wall is more than one meter high, the old wooden gate is pasted with faded couplets, and a stone bench is made at the door. When the weather is good, every family will sit on the bench and chat.

In the distance, a house with blue bricks and blue tiles, against the background of the loess house, is particularly eye-catching. It stands out from the crowd and catches people's eyes, so Wenzi can't help but ask: "Sister, who is that house?" Home? It’s so stylish.”

"Why, you even forgot the house of Landlord Liu's house?" Liu Meihua looked at the third sister next to her with a slightly puzzled look. Wenzi used to like squatting at the door of Landlord Zhou's house the most, especially when his house had guests. Landlord Liu has a good face, so he will pretend to be generous and let his servants share candy.

"Sister, I just want to ask again to make sure." Wenzi couldn't move her eyes from Landlord Zhou's house, and she had already set a short-term goal in her heart.

"Hehe." Seeing the direction Wenzi's eyes were heading to, Liu Meihua smiled, as if Wenzi didn't want to mention the past illness, after all, she was a ten-year-old girl, and she was gradually sensible.

"Sister, my parents told me that people should look forward in life, and they can't keep thinking about unhappy things, otherwise they will lose the meaning of living." Wenzi said seriously, this is her life. one of the rules.

An inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time. Babies who fall to the ground are like people in their seventies and eighties, and happiness is their priority.

"Wenzi, did father and mother really tell you this?" Liu Meihua was shocked by Wenzi's words. She has been living a careless life, and she has never even thought about her own marriage. The boring days, life has no fun and hope at all.

"Well, the father and mother in the dream also asked me to say this to my eldest sister, second brother, younger brother and younger sister, saying that we should not easily bow to difficulties." If it was a white lie, Wenzi would be more than happy to say a few more words, Anyway, she has basically spent her life in a lie from time to time.

Liu Meihua's eyes turned red, she hurriedly turned her head away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said in a choked voice, "Father and mother still remember me."

"We are all the treasures in the hearts of father and mother. They will always remember and will always remember." Wenzi calmed Liu Meihua's fluctuating mood, and felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he changed the matter and said: "Elder sister, if you build a Zhou landlord's house How much is the blue tile house, estimated to cost?"

Liu Meihua glanced at Landlord Zhou's house, made some calculations in her heart, and said, "I'm afraid it can't be built without one or two hundred taels of silver."

"Big sister, how much is an egg?" Wenzi has no concept of money in this world, so it's faster to measure it in terms of things.

"One of the big ones costs one penny, and the three small ones cost two pennies."

"Then, how much is a catty of vegetables? What's the price of pork?" Wenzi continued to ask, and he could only use more species to understand the prices more clearly.

"We grow our own vegetables, and we usually don't spend money to buy them. Pork, on weekdays, costs fifteen cents a catty, but during the Chinese New Year and holidays it will rise to twenty cents." Once the New Year comes, Zhao Chunliu will say something about it at the dinner table. How much money he paid, it seemed that Liu Meihua had eaten all of it, and he wished he could poke a hole in her body with his eyes.

"What about rice and flour?" Wenzi Haowen continued to ask.

"Coarse rice costs three or four yuan a catty, fine rice is more expensive and costs five or six yuan, and flour is unaffordable on weekdays, so it costs ten yuan a catty." Liu Meihua told all the things she knew. It's rare that her third sister is interested, so she can answer any questions she asks.

Wenzi calculated in her heart by comparing prices, and she knew a little about the blue-tiled house of Landlord Zhou's house. It seemed that she had to find a way to make money, otherwise, with the financial situation and attitude of the Liu family, she might be careless one day. Get kicked out.
