A Story of a Little Village Girl Getting Rich

Chapter 71
Before going out, Miao Da took out what he thought were better clothes and changed into them, combed his hair, washed his hands and face, and then went out.

Xiaocao laughed at how grand his father was, and Miao Da said that this was the first time he did a small business after entering the city.

Nodding her head, Xiaocao agreed with Miao Da's approach, but the clothes Miao Da put on were also patched and patched, but compared to other clothes, this one had slightly fewer patches.

After Miao Da left the house, he went straight to the grocery store and bought some greased paper.More than a dozen cakes were sold in the streets and alleys. Some people opened the baskets covering the big cakes to look at them, smelled them, and said to buy one to try. A lady proprietress of a jade shop bought one and took a bite. He said it was not bad, so he ate another bite, and soon he finished one big pancake. He felt that it was not enough, so he asked the staff to chase after Miao Da to buy it. He bought five at once, and brought out eighteen pancakes, only two.

Miao Da heard the sound of crying from a distance, looked up and saw a group of people around, walked over to see, it was an old beggar with her little granddaughter, the little granddaughter cried and said she was hungry, but the old beggar didn't get anything all morning What, my granddaughter was so hungry that she cried.

The thin little girl was malnourished at first glance, and the old beggar's face was even yellowish and pale.

A farmer's heart became sour.Squeezing through the crowd, he wrapped a big cake in oiled paper and handed it to the little girl. The little girl stopped crying and took the big cake with both hands. The old beggar kowtowed to say thank you.The little girl didn't bite the pancake, but brought it to grandma's mouth, and said in a childish voice, "Grandma, you eat."

The old beggar shook her head and said she was not hungry, and stretched out her hand to return the cake to the little girl's mouth.

This scene made Miao Da's heart rippling again.After thinking about it, he wrapped the last piece of cake and handed it to the old beggar woman.

Everyone looked at the man who was holding the pancakes. He looked like he was not from the county by his clothes.

Miao Da saw that everyone was looking at him, and the old beggar also looked at him, and said with some embarrassment, "I sell flatbread, and there are only two flatbread left, you can eat."

After speaking, he turned around and left.Everyone looked back at his limping appearance and didn't find it ugly at all.

Back home, Xiao Cao Niangqin and Xiao Cao and his wife were waiting in the yard.

"Father, so fast!" Xiaocao happily took the bamboo basket from Miao Da's hand.

Thinking of giving away the last two cakes just now, Miao Da shook his head and said: "It's not sold out, the last two cakes are for human beings. The old beggar on the street took her granddaughter to beg, and they didn't get anything all morning. My granddaughter was crying from hunger, so I gave her a piece of cake, and she gave it to her grandma first, and I felt really sad after seeing it, so I gave them another one."

The little grass girl said: "Her father, is it not very good for you to give out big cakes for the first time?"

Miao Da was a little hesitant, Xiaocao hurriedly came over and hugged his mother's arm and said, "Mother, this is a good sign. Our pancakes can not only be sold, but also be used to help people. It's a good thing. Daddy did a great job." Yes, although our family is in a difficult situation, we can still fill our stomachs, so it’s okay to send two big pancakes.” The little grass mother turned her head and asked Xiao Si, “Xiao Si, your father gave the big pancakes to humans, what do you have? Any ideas?"

Xiaocao sighed in her heart, she was married to Xiaosi, and her mother would ask Xiaosi about such a trivial matter.

"Mother, I support what Dad does." Xiao Si didn't say much, and his voice was gentle.

Parents always think about more things, such as Xiao Si's thoughts after doing this good deed now.

"Okay, let's have lunch. Mom, I'll help you." Xiaocao didn't want to get entangled in this matter. She understood her parents' good intentions, and she also hoped that Xiaosi could fully integrate into their family and have a good time in their home. Stay here, sincerely treat Xiaocao well.

When he arrived in the kitchen, Miao Da took out sixteen copper coins and put them on the table, "You take the sixteen copper coins sold today, you need to buy flour and things."

The first time I earned sixteen copper coins, it was already pretty good.

"I'll make some more after dinner, and I'll try selling them." Xiaocao looked at the copper coins happily.

Xiaosi shook his head and said no, Xiaocao couldn't show his face, it would be bad if the Li family found out.This means that neither Miao Da nor Xiaocao Niang support Xiaocao to sell.In the end, it was decided to let Miao Da sell it outside, but Xiaocao was reluctant to let his father go out to walk around the streets with a limp in the cold weather.Xiaosi said he was going to sell, but Xiaocao blocked him immediately, the reason was that Xiaosi was too fresh, and he was afraid that he would be dragged home by an unscrupulous woman.After saying this, Xiao Si's face turned red, and it wasn't his fault that he looked good.

Both Miao Da and Xiaocao Niang laughed, saying that Xiaocao started to worry after only two days of getting married.In the end, of course Miaoda went out to sell pancakes, while Xiaocao and Xiaosi made them at home.

After eating, Xiao Cao made twenty of them, and Miao Da started selling them with a dustpan.One way in the morning, another way in the afternoon.The fresh gadgets made by the newcomers were quite easy to sell, and they were sold out within two hours.

Not long after Miao Da returned home, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.This gave Xiaocao some headaches, because it was snowing and Dad couldn't go out.

Xiao Cao Niang saw that the sales were pretty good today, so she asked Xiao Cao to make more.Xiaocao and Xiaosi inquired about the nearby market, took the money from selling pancakes today, and took some of the money saved before to go shopping.

I bought a big bag of flour, bought a lot of salt and some miscellaneous things, and asked the guys to send them home together.I went to buy a lot of Chinese cabbage.

The snow was falling more and more heavily, and the street was so gray that it was hard to see clearly, Xiaosi held Xiaocao's hand tightly, protecting her by his side.

A galloping carriage made Xiaocao scream, and a trembling old man was crossing the road with a cane.

In just a split second, Xiao Si carried the old man to the side of the road before the carriage arrived.

Seeing the carriage go away and the old man and Xiao Si standing on the side of the road, Xiaocao's heart fell to the ground.

Xiaobu ran to the two of them, Xiaocao pulled Xiaosi to look left and right, "Are you okay?"

"My wife is fine." Xiaosi comforted Xiaocao, and said to the old man, "Old man, where do you live? Come home, it's snowing heavily."

"Thank you, my house is in the back street, I will go back now, thank you young man." The old man also knew that it was dangerous just now.

The old man didn't wear a bamboo hat either, and his body was all white.Xiaocao took off the bamboo hat from his head and put it on the old man's head.Xiao Si immediately took off the bamboo hat on his head and put it on Xiao Cao's head.Xiaocao smiled at him, and leaned against him, but Xiaosi was much taller than Xiaocao, Xiaocao put the bamboo hat on Xiaosi's head again, and she leaned against Xiaosi's arms, so that the two of them could get along with each other. Even though Xiaosi's shoulders can still get snowflakes.
