Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 90

Since the last time I said that to Chang Man by the Qingling River, Zhang Yun felt a little more relaxed, and soon it was the tenth day of the lunar new year. The family members discussed it the day before, and they were going to let Zhang Youqing bring the charter, Zhang Yun took the utensils woven with cattail grass and went to the town market to sell them.

In the early morning of the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, when it was just dawn, all Zhang's family got up, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Zhou, the three of them went out.

Last year, they sold tea oil and stinky tofu at the market for a long time. Zhang's family knew the way well. After taking a boat from Bailidu to the town, they went straight to the market.

The weather will be hot and the dawn will be early, so the people in the market are also early. When the three of them arrived at the market, there were already many stalls set up, so they didn't dare to delay any longer. The utensils woven with cattail grass are all placed on the ground.

This trip, Zhang’s family only had the mentality of trying. They didn’t plan how much they would sell, but they didn’t expect that the business would be so slow. No matter how hard Zhang Yun tried to attract customers, the folks just looked at it. I bought it with money, but after a whole day, I only sold 23 yuan, and I only sold five pieces in total.

No one in the Zhang family expected that the first sale would be so bleak. When the sun was in the west, they could only pack up the utensils and rush back.

The three of them felt a little unhappy, and along the way, they didn't say much, and when they rushed to the outside of the courtyard, the sun had already set, and there was only a ray of sunshine in the sky.

Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhang came into the yard carrying a load, Zhang Yun followed behind, Zhou had been waiting outside the kitchen, and when he saw them coming in, he hurried up to meet them, and wanted to ask how the sale was, but at a glance, the load was on The hanging cattail utensils are almost the same as when I went out in the morning, and I can count them in my heart immediately.

"Father, put your things away quickly, wash your hands and eat dinner." Zhou's mind was settled, so she didn't ask any more questions, but took it to another place, and stretched out her hand to take the burden from Zhang Youqing's shoulders, and helped him put the utensils away. Put it back in the main room, and then followed the regulations to the main room to put it down.

Everyone was not in a good mood, so no one said much, and they went into the kitchen together. After washing their hands, Mrs. Zhou came in and took the food to the main room, and the family sat down to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Zhang Liangen asked a few words, and after getting the answer, he didn't ask any more questions. After the meal, Mrs. Zhou cleaned up the dishes, while the rest of the Zhang family went to the yard.

In the ancient countryside without air-conditioning or electric fans, after eating on summer nights, everyone basically went to the courtyard to enjoy the shade, sit down for a while to take a breather, chat a few words, and then go back to sleep when it gets dark. not excluded.

When we arrived in the yard, we moved small benches, sat down in front of the hall, fanned ourselves with palm-leaf fans, drove away mosquitoes from time to time, and listened to the chirping of insects, frogs, and sparse cicadas from afar.

Zhang Yun raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky had already darkened, with turbid blue gray, and the stars were shining faintly, and it would be completely dark in about an hour.

After Zhang Liangen sat down, he was still smoking dry tobacco. After taking two puffs, he started talking to Zhang Youqing who was sitting beside him.

"Daqing, the business is so bad today, I'm afraid these gadgets won't sell well in the future." Zhang Liangen really didn't think much of the cattail utensils, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Zhang Youqing has never been a businessman, and he doesn't know much about these things, so he can only whisper: "Father, it's only the first day, let's not be too anxious, maybe it will get better in a few days."

Zhang Liangen frowned, shook his head slightly, and said, "Tell me, should we think of a way, if it's not easy to sell, we can have some way out."

After saying this, Zhang Zhang and Zhang Xing, who were sitting on the side, turned to look at Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun was the only one who had the most ideas in the family. When it came to ideas, she was naturally the first to think of.

Zhang Yun glanced at his eldest brother, and then looked over, even Zhang Youqing and Zhang Liangen cast their gazes on her at some point.

To be honest, Zhang Yun has thought about how to sell it if the market is not easy to sell, but she just has an idea, thinking that she can use it to sell and distribute goods in warehouses everywhere, will it actually work? Makes sense, she hasn't figured it out yet.

"Grandpa, father, brother, I have an idea in my mind, but I'm not sure, let me think about it carefully, we are only the first day, don't rush to go another way, or wait for the fifteenth, When I am twenty, I will go to the market to sell and see if it can get better, and if it doesn’t improve, I will make another plan.” The idea in Zhang Yun’s heart is only a rudimentary form, and if he really wants to go this way, he must It took some time to work out the steps. During this time, I still had to go to the market as usual.

Before there is a definite solution, the Zhang family can only take one step at a time. Several people chatted in the courtyard for a while. After Zhou finished cleaning up, the night was already dark, and everyone dispersed and went back to their houses. rest.

Except for the opening of the La market every day at the end of the year, the rest of the time the market is on Fridays. The next day, Zhang’s family will no longer carry the burden of going to the market. As usual, the young and old are still carrying farm tools to the field. Busy at home.

After the mother and daughter had breakfast, Mrs. Zhou went to the field with her basket, while Zhang Yun was going to the vegetable field. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she looked up and saw Chang Juan coming in from outside the courtyard.

Chang Juan hadn't been here for several days since the threshing day. Zhang Yun was naturally happy to see her, hurriedly greeted her, and called, "Xiaojuan."

Chang Juan stood there without moving, her head lowered slightly, and she looked a little unnatural. When she saw Zhang Yun approaching, she took a peek at her and found that she was smiling, so she felt relieved and pulled up. She held her hand and said: "Yun'er, last time I spoke harshly, don't take it to heart."

Zhang Yun quickly shook her head. She knew that Chang Juan was doing it for her own good. Only a true friend would be anxious for you and wish to scold you to wake you up. You are angry, but you should not take it to heart."

"Huh." After hearing this, Chang Juan let out a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face immediately, and she resumed her usual demeanor, "Then none of us should remember what happened last time."

Zhang Yun smiled and nodded. Chang Juan hurriedly took her arm, turned around suddenly, and dragged her to run outside the courtyard. Zhang Yun was caught off guard and staggered, almost fell. No embarrassment.

"What is the purpose of running out so suddenly?" Zhang Yun asked loudly as soon as he stood firmly on his feet.

Chang Juan pursed her lips and smiled secretly, but didn't return her. She still dragged her to run outside, and Zhang Yun had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that Chang Juan didn't answer, Zhang Yun asked again while running, but Chang Juan just replied: "Don't ask so many questions, you will know if you come with me."

Originally thought that Chang Juan was going to drag herself to the village, but unexpectedly, she bypassed the fenced courtyard and ran straight to Qingtunling.

At the foot of Qingtunling Mountain, Chang Juan still didn't stop, and continued to drag her up, turning around for a while before she realized that Chang Juan wanted to drag her to that thatched cottage.

Zhang Yun only thought that she wanted to go to the thatched hut to play, so he cooperated and ran there. As soon as the two of them walked around a bush, an open space appeared in front of them, and the thatched hut was right in front of them.

However, after bypassing the bushes, the first thing Zhang Yun saw was not the hut, but Chang Man standing in front of the hut.

Zhang Yun stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Chang Juan, and saw that she had a wicked smile on her face, so he knew that she already knew about the affairs between him and Chang Man.

As a result, Zhang Yun lowered his head instead. Last time in the hut, he made such a phone call and asked Chang Juan to pass it on to reject Chang Man, but now it has completely changed, so how can she not be embarrassed.

"Yun'er." Zhang Yunwu was embarrassed, but when Chang Man saw her, he hurried up and called out.

Zhang Yun blushed suddenly, lowered her head and didn't answer, Chang Juan naturally had eyesight, she quickly pulled her hand out of Zhang Yun's arm, and said, "You two are talking, I'll go to the mountain to have a look, Pick some wild fruits here." Then he turned his head and burrowed through the bushes, and ran away quickly.

Hearing what Chang Juan said, Zhang Yun instinctively wanted to grab her and not let her run away, so as not to leave only the two of them, who didn't know how to get along with each other. It's a pity that they didn't move as fast as her, and when they reached out to grab someone At that time, Chang Juan had already run away.

All of a sudden, there were only Zhang Yun and Chang Man left in the open space. Zhang Yun couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and his neck and behind his ears couldn't stop burning red.

Chang Man didn't step forward, just stood still, looking straight at Zhang Yun, feeling like he had never seen her like this before, she was so shy and lovely, just looking at her like this, his heart thumped Bang jumped so hard that I couldn't help becoming nervous, my mouth was pursed, and my palms were covered with sweat.

"Didn't I say...wait until I think it through." Standing opposite each other, no one spoke, only feeling that the atmosphere was more ambiguous, Zhang Yun had no choice but to speak first.

When Chang Man heard it, he quickly stretched out his hands and shook, and said anxiously: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not forcing you, I just want to discuss something with you." Chang Man was afraid that she would misunderstand, and felt that he couldn't wait and wanted to force her After making a decision, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

Only then did Zhang Yun look up at him, and saw that his face was full of anxiety, and his palms were rubbing on his body. He didn't expect to make him so anxious with a word of his own, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you."

After hearing this sentence, Chang Man breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the thin sweat that came out of his forehead, thinking in his heart, when Zhang Yun ignored him back then, he was holding back his energy, just wanting to let her know My own mind, but now that it's really here, why do I worry about gains and losses, for fear that something bad will make her angry, and the two of them will go back to the way they were before.

Chang Man was thinking about it, Zhang Yun asked, "You are looking for me, what do you want to discuss?"

As soon as Zhang Yun mentioned it, Chang Man remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly replied: "I heard yesterday that you, your father, and Cheng Zi picked straw baskets and baskets to sell, and I was thinking about it. Waiting for you to come back at the entrance of the village, but I watched from afar, and it seems that the things you picked did not sell much, did they sell well?"

"Yeah." Zhang Yun nodded, and when she mentioned this, she felt a little annoyed.

Seeing that the smile on her face gradually faded away, Chang Man hurriedly said, "Yun'er, don't worry, I have a solution, let me tell you, see if it works."
