Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 358
Xiaobai has seen this person?Li Zhu couldn't help but look at that person a few more times, but still couldn't remember who it was.

The middle-aged man also noticed Li Zhu's attention on him, and he was chatting with Yang Laoshi at this time.

"Brother, I am a grain seller. I wonder if there are any grain sellers in your village?"

Before Yang could answer honestly, someone on the ox cart said: "There must be some, this year's grain harvest is bumper. However, the price is too low to sell." The man said a price, and everyone heard that it was cheaper than the grain store. Gao couldn't help but beam with joy, saying that they had it at home.

A villager asked again: "Brother, how much grain do you want to buy?"

The middle-aged man replied with a smile: "Of course, the more the better, I'll explore the way first, negotiate a good price, and have a special person come to pull."

"Great. You go to see my house first."

A group of people were talking, and after a while, they became familiar with each other.Then someone suggested to move the things and let this person squeeze in.

The middle-aged man thanked him and gave way to the car.He wanted to squeeze next to Li Zhu, but Aunt Li felt it was inappropriate, so she let him squeeze next to her.

Li Zhu looked at the man from the corner of her eyes, and she quickly saw the flaw. The man's fingers were long and slender, and although they had calluses, they looked like they were trained in martial arts, not the rough calluses of a farmer.Although he tried his best to look like a merchant, his eyes didn't look like that at all.The middle-aged man noticed that Li Zhu was looking at him, and suddenly stopped the topic of buying food, and boasted to Aunt Li: "This is your daughter? She looks like you." Aunt Li hurriedly said that she was a niece.

The man laughed again: "This little girl is really shy, she dare not look people in the eye."

The crowd laughed for a while.

Li Zhu no longer had to guess, this person was Ning Ximai.Did he come to buy grain because he was at the end of his rope?Aren't the three brothers always inseparable?Why did you come out alone this time?

If he buys grain, he can just buy grain, but can she stop the villagers from selling grain?Just don't mess with yourself.

Li Zhu suddenly thought again that he once wanted to force Jiang Jinglei to join the gang and intercept their family of three, so he couldn't help feeling an extra layer of indignation towards Ning Ximai.

For the rest of the journey, Li Zhu never looked at him again.

Ning Ximai talked and laughed happily with everyone.From time to time, his eyes always glanced at Li Zhu's side.

Aunt Li noticed it, and felt a little displeased, so she asked, "Brother, at your age, the child must be in his teens, right?"

Ning Ximai laughed and said, "No, I'm only a few years old. I look old. I'm a businessman who comes and goes in the wind and rain."

"Oh. If you go outside all day, the mother-in-law and children at home must be nagging."

"That's that."

"I also have a brother who is [-] years old. He passed by your village a few days ago, and when he came back he couldn't stop boasting to me that the girls and wives in your village are beautiful. He also said that if he wants to marry a wife, he must go to your village."

Hearing what he said, the woman in the car felt very relieved.

Aunt Li was taken away from the topic by him, and seeing that his eyes were open and not obscene, she let go.

After a while, Yangjiaji arrived.Everyone carried their own things and got out of the bullock cart.

Ning Ximai kept his promise, and immediately went to their homes to buy grain with the villagers he had agreed with.

As soon as they weighed the grain and gave the money, the villagers helped to transport the grain to the side of the reed marsh. Ning Ximai blew a loud whistle, and after a while, several small boats rowed across the water like arrows.Everyone loaded the food into the boat.

After the food was loaded, Ning Ximai also jumped on one of the boats and waved to everyone.Li Zhu silently watched the boat drifting away in the reeds, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.She thought that this was the end of the matter, so she immediately took Xiaobai home.

The weather was still sunny and sunny in the morning, but it suddenly picked up wind in the afternoon.The cold wind howls outside the window.Li Zhu sat on the warm kang and began to draw red.
