Chapter 70
"Hurry up, the food should be cold." After the negotiation, Xiong Qingshan said with a straight face.

It was only then that Lin Xiu remembered that she hadn't finished her meal, so she hurriedly picked up the soup bowl in front of her, and left it there for a while. By now, the soup bowl was no longer hot, so Lin Xiu lowered her head and took a sip of the clear soup.

"Is it cold? There's still some in the pot. If it's cold, I'll make another bowl for you."

The soup was still warm, Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, she shook her head, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the noodles in the bowl and ate them.

Fearing that the soup would be cold, Lin Xiu speeded up, but after all the delay was a bit longer, even if she speeded up, Lin Xiu only felt a chill in her belly when the last mouthful of soup entered her stomach.Xiong Qingshan didn't speak, got up silently and went to the kitchen, brought her a bowl of hot water, "Drink some hot water to keep you warm."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Lin Xiu thanked her, picked up the water with both hands and blew it a few times, and took a sip carefully.

Lin Xiu sat on the bed and drank some water, Xiong Qingshan put away the bowls and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen to wash them, and then came back to remove the box on the bed that was used as a table.

Lin Xiu drank the water and drank a bowl of warm water, which finally warmed her up.

She handed the bowl to Xiong Qingshan, got dressed and got out of bed.

The weather was fine today, and when the sun warmed up, Lin Xiu moved a stool to the yard and sat in the yard basking in the sun while making shoes for Xiong Qingshan.

It's winter now, so she made Xiong Qingshan a pair of cotton shoes.After a whole day, the shoes were finally made, and she handed the shoes to Xiong Qingshan for him to try.Xiong Qingshan picked it up and tried it on, and it was very warm, so he imitated Lin Xiu and said: "Thank you Xiuer, you have worked so hard to make my shoes."

Lin Xiu laughed out loud, "You and I are husband and wife, I should make shoes and clothes for you, how can I afford to thank you."

Seeing her flowery smile, Xiong Qingshan also smiled lightly.

……

Two days later, there was a fair in the neighboring village. In the middle of these few days, there was nothing to do, so Lin Xiu packed up.

Although she had tidied it up before getting married, things were a bit messy these few days, so she tidied things up, put away the things that were not used frequently first, and put the things that were often used in the room where the two lived.There was no more food at home, so Lin Xiu went to the field with Xiong Qingshan and pulled some cabbages and radishes.

After two days of busy work inside and out, it finally came to the day of the market. In the morning, Lin Xiu went to Xiong Qingshan to cook the meal, and he brought the meal to the bed. After the two had breakfast, they packed up and went out. , called Shangjinhua to go to Jishang.

Yesterday Jin Hua came to visit and asked Lin Xiu if she wanted to go to the market. When Lin Xiu said she wanted to buy a bowl, the two made an appointment to go to the market together.

Today's market was a little far away from Xujia'ao, the three of them walked for a while before finally arriving at the head of the market, without any pause, the three of them entered the market directly.

There were not many small vendors in the market, the three of them walked and looked all the way, Jin Hua wanted to pull some cloth, but soon saw the cloth stall, she pulled a few feet of cloth, then followed Lin Xiu and the two to continue walking .Seeing that he was about to walk through the market, he finally saw a stall selling bowls.

Although the stall is small, it sells a lot of things, not only the rough pottery bowls and basins commonly used in farmers' homes, but also some porcelain bowls and plates.

Lin Xiu only glanced at the porcelain bowls that were as white as jade, and then continued to look for the larger bowls on the stall.

"What do you want to buy, little lady?" the stall owner asked enthusiastically.

The locals call married young women "little lady". This is the first time Lin Xiu has been called that. She is not used to it, but she still returns: "I want to buy a bigger bowl, do you know if there is one?"

"Yes, yes, all sizes." The stall owner said, while bringing several larger bowls piled up on the stall to Lin Xiu.

These bowls vary in size, but the same thing is that Xiong Qingshan didn't nod.

"How?" Lin Xiu asked him.

"It's not much bigger than an ordinary bowl."

"Hey, no matter how big the bowl is for eating, how big can it be? If this gentleman really wants a big bowl, then I only have a basin here."

"A basin is also fine, take a look at it."

The stall owner took out the pots on the stall, Xiong Qingshan scanned it, and pointed at the biggest one: "This one, how many are there?"

"The big pots are rarely used, but I still have a few here. How many do you want, sir?"

"I want three." Xiong Qingshan said, and he was about to pay.

Lin Xiu tugged at his sleeve and asked the stall owner, "How much is this pot?"

"Fifteen Wen for one, if you want three, I only want you forty Wen."

Today’s copper coins are more valuable. In the past, when Lin Hongyuan sold vegetables, he sold vegetables for less than a copper coin. Although Lin Hongyuan sold vegetables in summer, the price of vegetables was the cheapest. .This pot is only about the size of Lin Xiu's head, but it costs fifteen Wen each, which is really expensive.

"It's cheaper. It's made of rough pottery, and it's not a good thing. We want so much. If you pay seven cents a piece, we'll buy it."

Xiong Qingshan paused, and only then did he realize that Lin Xiu would also bargain.

The last time he saw someone bargaining was when Mother Xiong was still alive, and now hearing Lin Xiu's voice of bargaining, he vaguely remembered that there is such a thing as bargaining.

Lin Xiu said seven cents a piece, but the stall owner refused to accept it, and Jin Hua also helped. The three of them went back and forth several times, and the stall owner finally agreed, but it was not the price Lin Xiu had originally offered, but It's ten coins a piece.In this way, three of them only cost thirty cents, which is ten cents cheaper than what the stall owner said at first.

Lin Xiu was in a great mood for spending less than ten cents, Xiong Qingshan counted the copper plates, while Lin Xiu stared at the stall owner as he wrapped the three pots.

……

This basin is not very light, let alone three stacked together, it is very heavy, Xiong Qingshan held it with one hand, and held Lin Xiu's hand with the other hand, and asked: "Do you want to buy something else? "

Lin Xiu said: "Buy some more tofu?" Just now when she thought of tofu, she became a little greedy for tofu.

She thought about it, then looked at Jin Hua again, "Does Aunt Jin want to buy some tofu?"

Jin Hua smiled and waved her hands, "There is no one in our family who likes tofu, you just buy it yourself."

The three of them turned back and went to the tofu stand to buy some pieces of tofu.

Lin Xiu watched the stall owner cut the tofu, and said to Jin Hua: "In my opinion, there is no food in the world that people don't like, only the food is not good enough. When I go home, I will make this tofu , give it to Mrs. Jin to taste."

Jin Hua said: "Okay, you are good at cooking, and the tofu you make must be delicious, so I will put on a shy face and wait to eat the tofu dishes you made."

Lin Xiu lifted the tofu in the other hand, chatted and laughed with Jin Hua and headed home, while Xiong Qingshan just listened silently as before, except when the two mentioned himself, he would only speak out in response The last sentence indicates that I am listening.

 Ah, it’s this kind of transitional chapter again, Mazhu
