Chapter 17 Rare noise

Chapter 17 Rare noise

After closing the door, Yun Jing looked out through the crack of the door, and saw that the salesman stayed at the door of his house for a while, then picked up the burden again with a dumbfounded face, and left surrounded by a group of children shaking rattles and yelling.

Scratching his little head, Yun Jing thought that he was too cautious?

However, he did not regret the act of shutting the other party out. There is nothing wrong with putting his own safety first.

The shopkeeper yelled all the way away, Yun Jing thought for a while, opened the door and came to the yard to look in the direction the shopkeeper was leaving.

I saw him come to a big apricot tree in the middle of the village a few hundred meters away, and then I don't know what he did, the group of children who surrounded him suddenly dispersed.

What's going on here?
After a while, a four or five-year-old boy stumbled over with a runny nose.

When passing by the door of Yunjing's house, Yunjing immediately asked, "Brother Niu, what are you running for?"

It was Yun Xiaoniu from Sanbo's family in the village. Yunjing knew him. The country people had no culture, so they chose their names very casually. In Xiaoxi Village, there were eight people named Xiaoniu, if not ten...

Hearing Yun Jing's words, Yun Xiaoniu seemed very anxious, and said, "The peddler uncle said, let's call the adults, if any adults buy something from him, they will give us a candy as a reward, Xiao Jing You should call your uncle and aunt too, since the shopkeeper is gone, you won’t have this chance..."

After leaving such a sentence, Yun Xiaoniu ran away like a gust of wind.

It turned out that this was the case, and Yun Jing looked at the shopkeeper in the middle of the village, and probably understood that he came to trade sincerely, otherwise there was no need for such a big fanfare.

Tsk, I guess I'm really too cautious, maybe I have persecution paranoia?

It has to be said that the peddler was a bit clever, he made a promise that he didn't know if it would be realized or not, and it drove a group of little kids to mess around.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the adults in the village to come back one after another, and the village suddenly became lively.

Obviously, the village is too far away from the town, and the villagers hardly go there for nothing important. Now it is rare for a peddler to deliver goods to their door, and the villagers don't want to miss this opportunity.

It is undeniable that the goods sold by the peddler are definitely a little more expensive than those in the town, but he took the initiative to deliver the goods to the door, saving the villagers a lot of work, and it is hard to say who loses and who gains.

As the salesman said, the things he trades can be bought with money or exchanged for grain. From a distance, the transaction scene seems to be quite lively, surrounded by a large group of villagers who heard the news.

It is rare that there is such a lively time in the village, and the peaceful days seem to come alive all of a sudden.

The business over there was still going on, and soon Yunjing's parents and family all came back.

"Is Xiaojing good at home?" Yunmu first asked Yunjing as she held Yunjing in her arms and kissed her.

Although it was obvious that she came back early because she wanted to trade something with the peddler, in her eyes, children came first.

Grinning, Yun Jing said, "Mom, I'm very good, I didn't run around"

"Well, my Xiaojing is the most obedient, mother will take you to see the excitement later, okay?" She said, she turned to Yunshan who put down the hoe and asked, "Master, how much money does our family have?"

"There are still thirteen copper coins," Yun Shan replied after thinking for a while, and then asked again: "My mother, what are you going to buy? I don't know if it's enough or not."

Jiang Susu thought for a moment and said: "I want to buy some needlework. Now Xiaojing is two years old and has no new clothes to wear. If conditions permit, I want to buy two feet of cloth to make him a new clothes. What do you think?"

As she said that, she subconsciously hugged Yunjing tightly, and looked at Yunshan with some trepidation.

From birth to now, Yun Jing really hasn't worn new clothes. All he wears are adults' old clothes that have been resized, and there are still several patches on his body now.

The word "poor" of poor people can be said to be vividly reflected, beyond the imagination of those people in Yunjing's previous life who picked up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold their mothers.

Hearing this, Yunshan glanced at Yunjing and gritted his teeth, "Success, our family's life will get better and better in the future, it's time to put Xiaojing in new clothes, but I don't know if the money is enough"

"If you don't have enough food, you can exchange it with grain, as if the extra harvest from that mu of land last year didn't exist, and you didn't starve to death if you didn't have an extra hundred or so catties of grain in previous years," said Yun Lin, who was walking into the yard at this time.

In this lean season, Yunjing has a deep understanding of how precious food is. At this moment, he smiled sweetly: "Mom, I don't want new clothes."

"Our grandson is sensible, okay, okay, just for this, we should give him a new suit of clothes," Yunlin said with a big smile when he heard the words, and he didn't know if he really believed it. Yunjing is sensible.

Then, he urged Yunshan Jiang Susu: "What are you doing standing there, hurry up, I'm late and all the good things will be picked up by others."

So, the whole family got busy, Yunshan ransacked boxes and chests to get out the only thirteen copper coins left in the house, Yunlin went to prepare food that might be exchanged for things, Jiang Susu hugged Yunjing and looked around the middle of the village for trading .

Seeing this, Yunjing said nothing more.

The family would rather tighten their belts than buy a new suit for themselves. The grace of upbringing is endless...

The subsequent transaction went smoothly. Amidst the commotion of a group of villagers, Yunjing's family bought two needles, some thread and three feet of coarse cloth from the peddler, which was barely enough to make a suit of clothes for Yunjing, and there was probably some cloth left over.

For this reason, his family not only spent thirteen copper coins, but also took seven catties of rice.

Yun Jing observed for a while, when he traded with the peddler, it was actually the time when the villagers secretly compared each other. Whoever changed something good would attract a group of people's envious eyes, and those who were envied would often sigh and say that they were impulsive. What a day.

It is said that Yunjing's family bought the three-foot cloth and was envied by others.

The most enviable thing this time was that a family bought a bronze mirror from a peddler for eight qian, which made people envious.

Bronze mirrors are a luxury that most villagers in Xiaoxi Village can’t even think about. Almost no one else has that kind of thing. their focus.

The family who bought the bronze mirror is the richest man in the village, and his family owns the only tile-roofed house in the village, and his family also has cattle...

No matter what, whether it's envy or showing off, the villagers don't have any bad intentions, the great thing is just to have fun, and the life will return to calm after a short period of noise.

During the transaction between Yunjing’s family and the peddler, the peddler clearly recognized Yunjing, and said with a smile that you are so funny, you want to beg for a bowl of water but you still have an excuse to turn me away, now you call him uncle I'll give you a candy.

Obviously he didn't take the matter of Yunjing playing tricks on him to heart, also, how small is his heart when he is angry with a two-year-old doll?
When he said this, the villagers asked what was going on, and after the incident that happened to the shopkeeper Daoqing at Yunjing's house, there was a burst of laughter, and they all praised Yunjing for his cleverness, which made him feel embarrassed and blushed .

Then, under the envious eyes of a group of drooling children, Yun Jing called Uncle and was rewarded with a candy.

The so-called sugar is the size of a fingernail.

Yun Jing held it in his hand, glanced at it and curled his lips secretly, not to mention eating, he felt like throwing away.

A small yellow-brown grain is clearly a flour granule mixed with a little brown sugar (sucrose), not to mention whether it is sweet or not, and it also has a faint smell.

Just like this, a group of children are so envious that their saliva is drooling three feet.

The hustle and bustle is always short-lived. After half a day, the villagers dispersed after finishing their transactions. The peddler dealt with less than half of the goods, got some money, and more was exchanged for food. He left with a load, and the pole was bent. , was bent, and his waist.

Life is not easy for anyone...
