Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 48

Bumping all the way into the town, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan decided to go to the tooth store first and then go to the livestock market to buy animals and go home. The two asked questions all the way, but they didn't expect to pass Jinxiufang first on the way to the tooth store. .Because he had dealt with him before, Fang Dachuan subconsciously took a look into the store, and then heard shopkeeper Mo's surprise and joy: "Brother Fang!"

Shopkeeper Mo's recent life is really good. When the embroiderer Wen Yue taught was sent to the main store of Jingli Jinxiufang by him, he soon received unstinting praise and encouragement from the old shopkeeper. Monetary rewards.If his family hadn't lived in this town of Kangping from his ancestors, he would have already been transferred to a bigger store as the shopkeeper by this time.But even so, from the day Mo Laosan hit him, he was the only one among the more than 30 shopkeepers in Jinxiufang, and he was always looked at by people wherever he went.

And everything he got today came from Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue, so when shopkeeper Mo saw the couple, he was naturally extremely enthusiastic.The Seventh Lady has been transferred away from here, who can say whether Miss Wen has any unique skills that have not been revealed, maybe this will be his own chance.Even without all these things, he, Mo Laosan, is also a kind person, and this young couple is not someone who knows how to advance or retreat, so there will be no harm in making friends with them.

In the store, Fang Dachuan didn't see the little girl who was flirting with them, so he asked casually out of curiosity. After hearing this, shopkeeper Mo stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile, "I've been fired a long time ago. How can we afford a person whose eyes are higher than the top? To open a door for business, the most important thing is to make money with harmony, since I know what kind of person he is usually, how can I use him again. "

Seeing Fang Dachuan and the others again, shopkeeper Mo's cheerful heart began to ache again, and when he mentioned the little girl who had caused him such a great loss, his anger surged again.If it weren't for his dog's eyes, how could Qin Niangzi take advantage of it? If he had it all by himself, then his current life would definitely be better.

Not wanting to bring up the little girl any more, shopkeeper Mo asked Fang Dachuan with a smile: "Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time. What's the matter when you come to the town this time? Or is it because Miss Fang has a new embroidery?" Want to sell it? Don't worry, this old man will definitely give you a fair price."

Fang Dachuan shook his head: "When my daughter is naughty, my wife has already worked very hard to take care of the child every day, and it has been a long time since I have picked up a needle and thread. We came to the town this time to find a dental dealer, to tell the truth. Shopkeeper, after we got the money last time, we have been wanting to buy more fields. After all, we are farmers, and we only have land to be at ease. This time, we came to the town to find a dental shop in spring, and have a look. If there is a suitable place, we, the husband and wife, are going to buy it, and it can be regarded as leaving some inheritance for our children and grandchildren."

Fang Dachuan only thought of it when he saw shopkeeper Mo. If he wanted to be familiar with the things in this town, who else could be familiar with shopkeeper Mo?If shopkeeper Mo is willing to help introduce a reputable dental firm, it will be much better than their own visits to inquire.But he heard that there are many doorways in this dental shop. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether shopkeeper Mo helps or not, it doesn't matter if you say a word first. If they really help, isn't it because they met a noble person?
Sure enough, Shopkeeper Mo pondered for a moment, and then said to Fang Dachuan: "Brother Fang, if you trust me, I happen to have a place here that is more suitable for you."

"Oh!" Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue's eyes lit up at the same time, looked at shopkeeper Mo Fang Dachuan and said with a smile: "Treasurer Mo, what are you talking about, we husband and wife can't trust anyone, and we can't trust you, shopkeeper Mo. If it weren't for your insightful eyes, our husband and wife would still be living in such a difficult life."

"Hey..." Shopkeeper Mo waved his hands again and again and said, "That's not what I said. It's your wife who really has a good skill. After a while, he looked at Fang Dachuan and said: "This is not a dental business, this is an old friend of mine. He had no choice but to make such a plan because he met an unfilial descendant. "

Fang Dachuan raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands at shopkeeper Mo and said, "Say a few words to shopkeeper Mo."

It turned out that the shopkeeper Mo mentioned was a good friend who grew up with him when he was young. When he was young, he went to the mountains as a hunter and had a great luck digging two thousand-year-old ginseng trees and got a lot of money. Since then, I have lived a prosperous life.It's a pity that the good times don't last long, perhaps because money is too easy to get, the younger generations are not as good as the previous generation, and all of them are lazy and do not want to make progress.

He had three sons in total in his life, the eldest son died early, but left him the only grandson, and the two living sons did not know what happened, but they only had daughters but no sons, which caused him to be very concerned about the only one. Du Miao Miao dotes on her very much.The result is that when the grandson grows up, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, and soon the family business is almost wiped out.

Seeing that shopkeeper Mo's friend is getting older and his grandson is so unbelievable, the two sons are arguing about dividing up the family. Leave a Zhuangzi as a personal use.

The old man Zhuangzi didn't tell anyone when he bought it, in order to leave a way out for himself, but now seeing the children after the separation of the family lose their only money one by one, the old man Feeling distressed, he decided to sell his Zhuangzi, and planned to take his wife south to join his daughter.Stay away from here, just pretend to be out of sight and out of mind, and let them go.

Shopkeeper Mo sighed for a long time and said, "I'm old, but I want to go far away, maybe I have to bury my bones in a different place, alas!"

Seeing that shopkeeper Mo was in a bad mood, Fang Dachuan didn't open his mouth even though he had doubts in his stomach. He just waited for shopkeeper Mo to adjust his mood before continuing.Wen Yue really felt that shopkeeper Mo was obviously embedding emotions. His sad look seemed to be like he was going through all this, but it was understandable. Most of the elderly people were like this, and they were prone to sigh and feel sad.

It took a long time for shopkeeper Mo to recover from the silence. He was a little embarrassed when he realized his gaffe, but when he saw that Fang Dachuan and his wife had been silently accompanying each other without any expression of impatience, he admired them even more in his heart. people.Not arrogant or ashamed, and not eager for quick success and quick benefits because of the influence of foreign things, you can hand it over, you can hand it over.

"Oh, it's easy to lose your mind when you're old. Brother Fang, don't take offense." Shopkeeper Mo smiled and said, "Is there anything you didn't understand?"

Where did you not understand?Wen Yue smiled dumbly. After talking for a long time, he only explained the basic situation of the seller, but he didn't mention the specific details of where the land is, how many acres, and how much he wants to sell.Glancing at Fang Dachuan, seeing that there was helplessness in Fang Dachuan's eyes, Wen Yue raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Shopkeeper Mo, I still have a few things that I'm not clear about. I want to trouble you to explain them in detail. I don't know where your old friend's village is located, how many acres of land in the village, how many paddy fields and how many dry fields are there? How much does each of the other fields occupy, and most importantly, how much money does he want to sell?"

Fang Dachuan's series of questions made shopkeeper Mo stunned for a moment and then laughed loudly: "Look at me, I'm really old, I just talked so much and didn't get to the point at all. It's like this, he That Zhuangzi is in Lijiagou, with about two to three hundred acres of arable land. As for how many paddy fields and dry fields, I don’t know. Those lands are cultivated by five or six tenants in Lijiagou.

What my old friend meant was that those tenants have been with him for so many years, and I only hope that the person who bought his farm can continue to use those tenants, which can be regarded as fulfilling their love for so many years.Oh, by the way, he also has a two-entry house there, which was just built the year before last, and he hasn't lived in it much yet. "

Fang Dachuan said "oh", then turned his gaze to Wen Yue, Wen Yue thought for a while and asked, "Da Chuan, do you know how far Lijiagou is from our Zhoujiabaozi?"

Fang Dachuan thought for a while and said, "It's not very far. It takes about half a day to walk west from our village."

"That's quite far." Wen Yue nodded and said casually.

Shopkeeper Mo can tell that Brother Fang really cares about his wife, and he will ask his wife for her opinion on everything. It seems that if you want to get along well with the Fang family, you really can't underestimate this woman. .Shopkeeper Mo thought about it, and said to Wen Yue: "Isn't it better to be farther away? I think you two mean that you don't want too many people to know that your husband and wife have such a large amount of money now, otherwise you won't come to look for it. It’s too old, it’s better to buy it directly in this village, I am an old man, right.”

After being guessed, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, this is the truth. For ordinary people like them, of course their wealth is not revealed. Do they want to announce it to the world?Shopkeeper Mo originally wanted to see something on the faces of their husband and wife, but when he saw the two extremely calm faces, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and laughed at himself and said: "You young people don't know how to respect you too much. I'm old, it's rare for me to guess this once, old man, so why don't you show some surprise if you want to save face?"

After finishing speaking, he was the first to laugh heartily, and Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan were also amused by his self-deprecation, that is, this knowing smile also diluted the sense of distance that had always existed between them, and there was a little It means that you can share your heart.Shopkeeper Mo stroked his mustache habitually and said, "Well, if you don't have anything to do today, why don't you just go to the Zhuangzi with me to see if it can be done or not? How about it, if you agree, I will send someone to invite my old friend here."

"This... Fang Dachuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wen Yue again: "Yue Niang, what do you think? "

Wen Yue also wanted to go, but she was a little hesitant when she thought that they still had to buy livestock today.Seeing that the days to plow the land are not long, the newly bought animals have to be fed for a few days to get used to them before they can be used to work.The next big collection will be in a month, and it will be too late to buy again.

Speaking out the doubts in his heart, this is exactly where Fang Dachuan hesitated. After hearing this, shopkeeper Mo said indifferently: "Hey, this is not a big deal. You husband and wife will go to choose animals first, and I will find me here." It takes time for old friends to come. Let’s gather here, and we’ll go to my old friend’s village after you’ve bought the animals. I have a carriage here, and the journey is fast, so there won’t be any delays. What do you think?”

Fang Dachuan was very moved by this proposal, "Yue Niang, I think this is okay, anyway, we have one day, what do you think?"

"Okay, then let's not delay, let's go now." Wen Yue said happily.

When the two had walked some distance away from Jinxiufang, Fang Dachuan said in a low voice: "Yue Niang, why don't we go to the dental shop to have a look? I haven't inquired about the market price of this kind of Zhuangzi, and I don't know what it is, and I'm always afraid that I will suffer a loss."

Fang Dachuan's words woke Wen Yue up, she was still imagining what Zhuangzi was like, and how to bargain if she really liked it, Dachuan's words woke her up.That's right, her eyes are completely dark right now, she doesn't know anything, and she doesn't even have a reference point, just thinking about how to bargain, how can she get the most benefit?Why are you so stupid all of a sudden?

It seems that she has been too slack recently, dependence will become a habit and people's mind will become lazy.Wenyue, Wenyue, you can't do this. We agreed to work together and grow together, but if we continue to relax like this, Dachuan grows up and stays where he is. This is not a good phenomenon.

"What's the matter, Yueniang, don't you agree?" Seeing that Wen Yue was silent, Fang Dachuan thought that Wen Yue had other ideas.

Wen Yue shook her head, and subconsciously wanted to hold Fang Dachuan's arm. Fortunately, she did not forget this feudal ancient times, and she secretly thought it was a pity.He whispered: "I have no other opinions. You are right. I thought it was simple just now. I was too happy to go, but I forgot such an important thing. What should I do, Dachuan, because you are doing well now. I feel like I've become stupid."

It was rare for Wen Yue to talk to Fang Dachuan so delicately, which made Fang Dachuan's heart feel numb. With a deep smile, he couldn't help but use his wide sleeves as a cover to quietly hold Wen Yue's hand.

"I'm your man." Wen Yue, who was obsessed with the warmth of Fang Dachuan's palms, bent her lips after hearing his firm answer. She felt so happy that she didn't notice Fang Dachuan's blush and the roots of her ears, otherwise she would definitely Will praise in my heart, "You are so cute".
