Hearing his sister's voice, Uncle Shen hastily pushed open the courtyard door which was half hidden.

He was shocked when he saw the mule cart parked outside the door, "Where did this cart come from? Is it the cart of the production team? Why did it stop at our house? Where is the driver?" Said he was looking around.

"It's not from the production team. I bought it at the market today."

After saying this, ignoring the surprised and surprised looks of everyone, Shen Su'e asked: "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet. Why did you mention Lingbao just now? What did Lingbao eat from you? Tell me clearly. .”

"No...that kid in Dexi is just talking nonsense."

After Uncle Shen finished speaking awkwardly, he turned to look at his granddaughter, "Dexi, hurry up and apologize to your eldest aunt and your cousin, hurry up!"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Dexi put his hands on his hips, and said confidently, "It's just us kids in the house, if it's impossible for adults to steal something, then it must be her stealing it, or the dirt root next to her!"

"The egg pancakes were originally made by your aunt. Lingbao and Tugen can eat as much as they want, so what are you stealing?"

After hearing what grandpa said, Shen Dexi was stunned for a moment, with a sour and jealous feeling in his heart, and he curled his lips unhappily, "Aren't the egg pancakes made by my aunt? Why are they made by my aunt again?"

"Your aunt gave it to your aunt," after explaining, Uncle Shen grabbed her hand and walked to his sister, "Hurry up and apologize!"

"No! I don't want to apologize to them!" Dexi said willfully.

Shen Su'e frowned and listened to their conversation, she probably knew what happened, probably the egg pancake she gave to Gui Sheng's daughter-in-law in the morning was stolen by the child.

This matter is not a big deal and has nothing to do with her.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, she was still in a hurry to make dinner for Lingbao, and she was too lazy to argue with Dexi, a spoiled child, "Forget it..."

Not bothering about apologizing anymore, Shen Su'e asked her elder brother: "Where can this car be parked? Can the backyard fit in?"

"Yes! Of course I can. I'll open the door to the backyard for you."

As Uncle Shen spoke, he hurried to the backyard to open the door. Others rushed to the backyard at this time. Even Shen Guisheng and his wife couldn't help but walked out of the house and looked around the mule curiously.

"Auntie, is this really the mule you bought? How much did you pay for it?" Shen Baosheng asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, a mule seems to cost two or thirty yuan, right?"

"This mule is cheap. I bought it for eight dollars."

"What?" Even Shen Guisheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "How can it be so cheap? How old is this mule? It still looks very young."

Shen Su'e replied: "Five years old."

The average lifespan of a mule is 35 years old. If it is well-raised, it can be raised up to 50 years old. A five-year-old mule is equivalent to a 15-year-old person, which happens to be young and strong.

"A five-year-old mule only sells for eight yuan? Does this mule have some hidden disease? Otherwise, it's impossible to sell it so cheaply?"

Shen Su'e nodded, "It's true that there is something wrong with this mule. It has kicked people madly before. You'd better stay away from it, especially those children. If you get kicked, you will be in trouble. Go to the health center It's not curable."

After saying this, she tied the reins to the tree trunk in the backyard, and then carried Lingbao and Tugen off the cart behind, "Okay, don't talk about mules, I bought a lot of things , you help me move into the kitchen."

It was only then that everyone noticed the various steamers on the car, and wondered, "Auntie, what are you buying these for? Such a big steamer..."

"Mom, I want to make steamed buns and sell them at the market!" Xiao Lingbao said with a smile.

As soon as she said this, the Shen family was too shocked to speak, "Sell?"

Uncle Shen was stunned for a while, and asked his sister, "Su'e, do you want to sell steamed buns? Do you have so much white flour? Even if you have, it would be a waste to make steamed buns and sell them. There is still some time before the wheat harvest. What do you do when you're done eating?"

"Yes, Su'e," Zhao Cuilan nodded in agreement, "You can make money by making steamed buns from white flour, but you can't buy white flour with money."

"Auntie, we farmers are not like those workers who can go to the grain store to buy commercial grain. We have to grow all the grain by ourselves. After eating it, it will be gone. If we have money but no ticket, we can't buy anything. It's really hard to sell white flour. It's not worth it."

Everyone chatted for a long time to persuade Shen Su'e not to sell steamed buns. Among them, Wang Chunmiao suggested, "Auntie, if you have a lot of white flour left, you can sell it to us or exchange it with us. This year we will grow rice in the village. You can give us the white flour on credit first, and we will pay you back the rice when the time comes, what do you think?"

Shen Su'e was dizzy from their quarrel, and interrupted impatiently: "Okay, don't talk about it, I don't lack white flour, and I don't want rice, I just want to make white flour into steamed buns and sell it for money, and then I will give it to San Lei son for marriage."

"Getting married?" Zhao Cuilan was stunned for a moment, "Don't we rural people only need a few buckets of rice to get married? After all, we still need food."

"Now it's not the same as it was a few years ago. I heard from the matchmaker that many girls are very demanding. They have to buy furniture first when they get married. The gift money is not only food, but it is always right to have more money. "

After saying this, Shen Su'e didn't want to delay any longer, "Are you going to help me move things? If you don't help, all of you should step aside, don't get in the way, I will move it myself."

"Help, of course we have to help," Shen Guisheng said anxiously after recovering, "Auntie, let me help you."

When he was moving things, his daughter-in-law came up to him and said, "Let me tell you, that Lingbao is a lucky star. Look at how my eldest aunt is now. The white flour can be made into steamed buns and sold at will. She How much flour do you have at home?"

"Indeed, I estimate it weighs several hundred kilograms."

"The dozen or so members of the Jiang family have so many mouths to eat every day. A few hundred kilograms is not enough. I estimate it is at least several thousand kilograms."

Not only Shen Guisheng and his wife, Shen Baosheng and his wife are also discussing secretly at the moment, "Did the harvest in Baihe Village last year be so good? The wheat grown in our village is not enough to eat, so we have to replace it with coarse grains. The eldest aunt has two children. It’s okay to eat noodles and pancakes every day, but can you still make white noodles into steamed buns and sell them?”

"Is it really because of that child Lingbao?"

After Shen Baosheng's words fell, his wife shook her head, "What does it have to do with Lingbao's child? Apart from being rounder, she is no different from ordinary children. She is not like our family's Dexi, Dexi There is a red mark on the forehead, just looking at it makes you happy, and it will definitely attract wealth and accumulate blessings in the future, so that we can live a good life."

When the adults got together to whisper, Lingbao found Dele and Dehuan, and according to the previous agreement, gave each of them three dottos.

"It's really Dingding candies!" The two girls were pleasantly surprised. "Lingbao, are you really willing to give them to us? There are so many of them?"

"Well! Take it, Lingbao is going to help mother with work."

The little milkman waved his hand, bid farewell and left, Dexi, who was peeking from the side, came out from behind the wall, and asked his two younger sisters aggressively: "What did that stinky girl give you? Hurry up and give it to me." !"
