Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 14
"Father said that I should go with you today, to the food store and the restaurant, and I will accompany you there. If you have any other ideas, please tell me, and I will promise to help you do it properly."

"Father, just send it here, I can do it myself, you go back, or my grandma will be nagging again."

Already able to see the shadow of the market street, Lan Lingxue blocked her father's footsteps and refused to let him see her off again.

"Father, I know you are worried about me, but you have to trust me, I can handle these things by myself, and there will be no danger. If there is any danger that cannot be avoided, I will hide in the space. No one will be found there, so you should rest assured."

I don't want my father to follow me, as if I haven't grown up, I'm an adult in my bones, and one more thing, I'm afraid that the grandma at home will use this matter to cause trouble for my mother again.

"It's not that Dad is worried about you going alone. Dad is thinking that you may have more and more things to do in the future, right?"

"Yes, I will do a lot of business in the future and make our family richer and richer."

"You have fallen into the eyes of money, girl, why have you become a little money fan?"

"There's nothing wrong with losing money. It's better than starving. I'm going to be a little money fan."

"Okay, little money fan, then you have so many things to do in the future, do you think you can handle it by yourself?"

At this time, Lan Lingxue was a little quiet, and she was so excited that she forgot to think about it. She still has a lot of plans in the future, and she really can't do it alone. With those big barking eyes, the father of the daughter-in-law naturally raised his hands in surrender. I have to say that although Lan Lingxue was starved and thin, those big eyes were really watery and beautiful.

"So, girl, since you can't do it alone, why don't you join in with Daddy, at least Daddy is the person you trust the most, right?"

That's right, who else can trust me so reassuringly like my father, besides, my father still has the same secret with me, that kind of closeness is so close, it's just——

"The house—"

Lan Lingxue'er was still worried that grandma would wear small shoes for her mother. Although being scolded was not painful, but the feeling of being aggrieved was really uncomfortable.
"Give you two more money for milk, everything will be settled."

Yes, there is an old money fan at home, hehe...

Being tightly held by her father, as if she was afraid that she would sneak away, Lan Lingxue smiled warmly, knowing that her father was still worried that she would face it alone, and being worried by others is really not much The experience, but ever since I traveled to this time and space, I have always been worried and missed by others. This feeling is really great.

"Father, do you think the two of us should buy some bags and baskets first, or what else should we use to store grain and vegetables?"

We have already entered the market street. Although there is no market today, the shops on both sides have opened their doors early.
"Yes, I need pockets, baskets, baskets and so on, but it's a bit expensive to buy ready-made ones, girl, why don't we buy some white cotton cloth, go back and ask your mother to sew some for you, and Dad will go up the mountain to pick some wicker, we How practical it is to weave a few big baskets."

"Daddy, do you think I have mother's time to sew my pockets, do you have time to weave my baskets, besides, if my grandma sees those few feet of white cloth, do you think our family can keep it?"

"Yeah, what can I do then?"

Lan Erzhuang scratched his head anxiously.

"What should we do? It's not like we don't have money. Let's go, let's go buy it now."

Lan Lingxue dragged her father to a grocery store,

"Little basket, let's find a way to make it ourselves. It's really expensive to buy ready-made ones."

Hearing the price given by the boss, Lan Erzhuang lay beside his daughter's ear, afraid of being heard by the boss, and whispered to Lan Lingxue in a low voice,

"Father, it's okay, it's not short of these few dollars. At worst, I'll sell him an extra basket of vegetables today, and I'll get all the money back. Besides, we're in a hurry to use it now, and there's nothing we can do about it, without this day. more money, more losses.”

Whispering back to her father, seeing her frowning but still nodding her head, Lan Lingxue secretly clenched her small fists in her heart, knowing that scaring her father with money would be the most effective.

"Shopkeeper, help me get ten noodle bags and six wicker baskets, the ones with handles, thank you!"

Seeing this eight or nine-year-old girl ordering the goods boldly, the owner of the grocery store was very happy.

"Brother, your daughter is not simple. Other people are still acting like a baby at the age of eight or nine. Your daughter can come out to negotiate business."

While counting the shipments, the boss chatted with Lan Erzhuang,

"Hey, this girl looks small. She's already eleven. It's also because the family is poor. She has to work hard on the child and can't keep up with the meal. No, she looks so small, and she is sallow and thin."

"Hey, at this time, whose family is not like this, just asking for food and clothing."

The owner of the grocery store also looked helpless,

"It's not easy, brother, these are 120 and 120 Wen in total, let's count it as [-] Wen for both of you."

While doing the calculation, he swiftly put the wicker basket together, fixed it with a thick straw rope, and put the white cloth bag in it.
"Then thank you boss, this is money, you count it."

Watching the girl count out the money, Lan Erzhuang took it, bowed and handed it over,

"Brother, come here often in the future. If you need anything at home, feel free to come to me. I'll make it cheaper for you."

"sure."

While being polite, Lan Erzhuang carried the wicker basket on his back, and walked out of the shop holding his daughter's little hand.

"Father, there is a grain shop in front of you. You can control the wind for me. I will go into this alley and pack the wheat in the space."

Lan Lingxue placed her father at the entrance of the alley, and walked towards the alley alone,

"Well, Dad is here to guard, girl, you should be careful."

Lan Lingxue turned around and waved to her father to reassure him,

"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be back in a while."

Lan Erzhuang concentrated all his energy and looked around the alley, but subconsciously looked back into the alley, where it was empty, and Lan Erzhuang's mind flashed at once.

Lan Lingxue entered the space, came to the side of the bundle of wheat, held the bag in her hand and opened it, just about to use her mind to move the wheat grains into the bag, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, why did she have to move the wheat grains in? Yeah, it’s not more troublesome to move the flour in directly, but I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it’s feasible,
"All the flour comes in my sack."

Carefully trying to call out with her mind, Lan Lingxue fixed her eyes firmly on the bundled ears of wheat, seeing balls of white flour floating directly from the bundles into the pockets in her hand, Lan Lingxue I was so excited that I wanted to scream, it was indeed possible, it saved me a lot of effort, fortunately I had to bundle the grains first, then brush off the grains, and then put them into bags for others to help grind, I was so stupid melon.

Seeing that the wheat grains on the ground were only empty shells, they only filled three and a half sacks. Adding the bag of wheat grains given to Uncle Li, it should be half a bag of flour after being ground. Bags of flour, this is the harvest of two crops. Calculated in this way, one crop should be able to harvest two bags of white flour, which is quite enough. If two bags of white flour are filled, it must weigh a hundred catties, not to mention our wheat The harvest is still continuous, just thinking about it, Lan Lingxue snickered, tied up the three pockets, and looked at the wheat husks and straws, all of them had disappeared, and they should all be turned into fertilizer for the field Yes, such a cycle of self-sufficiency is really too labor-saving, which is economical and environmentally friendly.

Coming out of the space, Lan Lingxue saw her father looking around nervously, turning her head from time to time. Sure enough, before Lan Lingxue called him, he had already noticed that her daughter had come out, shaking Running over, she looked at her daughter nervously, looked up and down for a long time, and saw that Lan Lingxue was also nervous,
"Why, Dad, what's on my face, or on my body?"

"Nothing, nothing, dad just saw that you disappeared just now, a little worried, as long as it's okay."

Avoiding his daughter's eyes, Lan Erzhuang lowered his head and reached out to pick up the noodle bag on the ground, just as Lan Lingxue also reached out to help, touched his father's hand, felt the sweat in his hand,
"Dad, what's wrong with you, why are you sweating so much?"

The weather in late autumn is not too hot, Lan Lingxue hastily held her father's hand,

"it's okay no problem."

Lan Erzhuang pulled out his hand, wiped the skirt behind him, and then picked up his pocket,
"father--"

Suddenly understanding why her father was doing this, Lan Lingxue hugged her father's arm tightly.

"Girl, dad is fine, let go, we have to go to the restaurant later, don't stay here for too long, if the restaurant finishes shopping again, then we both got up early and rushed late set."

Lan Erzhuang didn't know how to comfort his daughter for a while, so he could only pat her on the back gently with his hands, so that she could feel at ease, knowing that her daughter was smart, and her behavior at this time must have guessed what she just thought It's just that, the moment he saw his daughter disappear, Lan Erzhuang really panicked. The fear emanating from the bottom of his heart is beyond words to describe. If his daughter just disappeared, Lan Erzhuang felt, I was afraid that I was really going crazy. At that moment, my thoughts were, go to the goddamn food, vegetables, and money, and I only want my daughter.

"Father, I won't disappear, I just went to the space to store food."

I hugged my father's waist with my hands, and even used my strength, feeling that I couldn't hold him tightly.
"Well, Dad knows."

I know, but I'm still afraid, I can't control myself, Lan Erzhuang said to himself in his heart, I'm really worthless,
"Next time if you are worried again, just call me, I can hear you in the space, and I will come out to see you right away."

"Well, okay, next time Dad calls you."

"father--"
