Chapter 3 Buying Eggs

In the morning, when Su Yu got up from the bed, she was the only one left in the house, and Su Yu was not surprised, anyway, it has been like this for the past few days.

After washing and eating the breakfast left for her, she went out of the yard and locked the gate and walked towards the village.Their home is near the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, and most of the villagers would not take the path behind her house to go up the mountain, so it is very quiet here. He is the only one in Orion's family, usually most of them go into the mountains and are usually not at home.

As soon as Su Yu entered the village, several boys gathered around under the plum tree next to a small courtyard. When he saw Su Yu coming, Wang Da, the leader, shouted at Su Yu.

"Su Xiaoyu, what are you doing these days?"

When Su Yu saw a few people, she recognized them. She came here with the memory of the original owner. The original owner usually had nothing to do, so he just hung out with these boys in the village. He didn't like playing with the girls in the village and thought they were boring.She also couldn't figure out why the original owner of a girl's family wanted to be with these boys. She was either going up the mountain to collect bird eggs or going down the river to catch fish all day long. She didn't look like a girl at all. And these boys, or rather the people in the village, People didn't regard Su Yu as a girl, they all regarded her as a tomboy.

Su Laoer and his wife have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, but Su Yu has already realized that she is ten years old this year. In ancient times, the age of [-] or [-] was the age to propose marriage. I am afraid she will not be able to get married in the future. However, Even if she knew, she was not afraid. She never thought that she would meet a man she liked in ancient times. She just thought that if she met her in the future, she would marry her. If she didn't meet her, it would be okay to make some money and live alone. At that time, her parents did not agree, and the worst she could do was to go out and set up a female household. Although there were very few female households in ancient times, it was not impossible. It was just that the road ahead would be more difficult. This was not a problem for her at all.

Thinking about how many people Su Yu walked up to.

"From now on, you can play your own games, and I won't play with you anymore."

"Su Xiaoyu, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Wang and others thought they heard it wrong. This was not something Su Xiaoyu could say.

"You heard me right, I won't play with you anymore."

"Tch! If you hadn't been running behind me every day, I would have treated you like a tomboy, tsk tsk tsk, Su Xiaoyu, your face."

Wang Da is one year older than Su Yu. He is eleven years old this year. People in the village hate dogs, but a few naughty boys in the village like to follow him, including Su Yu. However, Su Yu is a girl. At that time, Wang Da Da Ye was very annoyed by Su Yu, like a dog-skin plaster that he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried. As time passed, he stopped caring and just followed him. But he didn't expect that Su Yu would say that he didn't want to play with him anymore. I won't follow them. They feel more comfortable without Su Yu following them.

After Wang Da finished speaking, he didn't even look at Su Yu, and they left with their arms around their shoulders.

As for Su Yu, in her eyes, these people were just brats. She would leave alone when others left. Not long after, she arrived at the door of Fat Aunt's house. Seeing that the courtyard door was wide open, Su Yu walked in.

"Is Aunt Fat at home?"

Aunt Fat's family name is Li, but because she is fat, most people in the village call her Fat Niang, and most of Su Yu's generation call her Aunt Fat, and Li doesn't care.

Then, Li's loud voice came from the kitchen.

"Who is it? It's early in the morning."

After saying this, the person walked out of the kitchen.

"Hey, it turns out you're the girl from the Su family. Why did you come to my house?"

"Fat aunt, my mother asked me to buy some eggs from you. The money will be given to you when she comes home at night. Let me come and get it first."

"I'm here to buy eggs, how many do you want to buy?"

"Fat Aunt, can you let me pick one, and I'll buy it after I pick it."

"Okay, come with me."

Mrs. Li led the people to the kitchen, but she was a little confused. She was thinking about how Mrs. Lian asked her girl to come over to get the eggs. To be honest, she didn't really believe in Su Yu's character. What kind of good people could they be after following Wang Da all day long? , but she still trusted Mrs. Lian’s character. Today, the girl of the Su family took eggs from her. Regardless of whether she asked her to buy them, Mrs. Lian would accept the deal in the end, so she didn’t Nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Li took Su Yu to the kitchen, opened a low cabinet on the side, and took out a basket of eggs from it.

"These are saved in the past few days, how many do you want?"

"Fat Aunt, can I pick it up in the yard, it's too dark to see clearly."

"You girl, buying an egg is a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Li said goodbye and went to the yard with the basket.

"It's spacious and bright here, so you can choose here."

"Thank you, Aunt Fat."

After Su Yu thanked him, he picked up the eggs and looked at them one by one. First he looked at the size, and then he put them under his eyes and looked at them hard. Li looked at them for a while, thinking about whether he could pick the eggs according to Su Yu's method. After a while, vegetables were cooking in her pot, so she went to take a look. Anyway, she knew how many eggs there were in the basket, and she was not afraid that Su Yu would get confused.

Seeing that the person had left, Su Yu picked up the eggs seriously. Just now, they were all ostentatious, but now there is no one, so she picked out the ones she wanted and put the rest back into the basket after a while.

When I was young, I lived in my grandmother's house for several years. My grandfather and grandmother sold chickens for a living. Over time, she also learned how to pick eggs and hatch chicks.

"Fat Auntie, I've chosen, and I want 29 of these, a total of 58 essays, don't you think so?"

"That's right, you girl didn't expect you to be good at settling accounts."

Su Yu showed a big smile at the fat aunt.

"Fat Aunt, I bought so many, can you give me one as a gift?"

Li Shi has never been a stingy person, so he agreed without thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll give you one, but why did your mother buy so many eggs?"

"My mother is going to visit relatives in a while, so I bought some eggs."

Su Yu would not tell others her purpose, and others would not doubt her if she said so.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li had no doubts at all. Su Yu happily left with the basket in her hand. The basket was brought when she came here, and it just came in handy now.

She originally planned to buy fifty eggs, but now she was still short of twenty. Su Yu went to Grandma Liu's house again. Grandma Liu's family lived at the west end of the village, and Aunt Fatty's family lived at the east end of the village. The two families were in opposite directions, and the distance was a little longer. Su Yu walked for a short while before reaching Grandma Liu's house. At this time, the courtyard door of Liu's house was closed, so Su Yu had no choice but to knock on the door.

"Grandma Liu, are you at home?"

No one answered in the yard, but Su Yu knew that she was at home. She just heard the sound of Grandma Liu feeding chickens in the yard. Thinking of Su Yu, she shouted again into the yard, but this time the sound was louder than before. It’s more than doubled, but there’s nothing you can do about it. Grandma Liu has a hard-of-hearing problem. If you shout too softly, she won’t hear you, and she didn’t think of it just now.

"Hey."

After a while, the courtyard door opened. Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes and looked carefully before she recognized that she was the daughter of Mr. Su's family.

"It's Sanya, why did you come here?"

"Grandma Liu, my mother asked me to buy some eggs from you. She is going to visit relatives in a few days."

"Then come in. I just saved some money these days. I planned to take it to the city to buy it. Now that you are here, I will sell it to you."

After talking, the two entered the yard, and Mrs. Liu took out a basket of eggs from the house.

"How many do you want, I'll get them for you."

"Grandma Liu, can I choose it myself?"

"Okay, which one do you like?"
