Chapter 186 Take the car to town

After a while, Wen Zhuqing finally calmed down the heat on his face.

"Auntie, I came here to ask, will you go out to buy new year's goods tomorrow?" He said solemnly, explaining his purpose simply and crudely.

Xu Yourong was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he refused: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, but maybe later."

"The latter one? Okay, I'll go back first then."

Wen Zhuqing didn't say much more, and left after a while of greetings. He never met Jiang Zhimiao's appraising eyes from the beginning to the end.

Later, Jiang Zhimiao embroidered flowers for a while, but couldn't hold it any longer, so she went to sleep.

At noon the next day, Xu Yourong woke her up: "Miaomiao, it's noon, get up and eat soon."

Jiang Zhimiao fell asleep in a daze. He opened his eyes and looked at the beams above his head. Then he came back to his senses. As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, it was already noon?

She looked at the light shining through the clear paper beside the kang, and was stunned. She woke up in an instant, and hurriedly got up and went out to wash up.

Xu Yourong looked at her hurried back and smiled helplessly.

Fortunately, she wasn't going to the market today, otherwise, she might not have had enough sleep.

Of course, she could do the shopping for the New Year by herself, but Miao Miao forced her whole family to go out. It didn't make sense, so she had to compromise. Thinking of this, she sighed deeply.

Xu Yourong had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Jiang Zhimiao to serve it.

There are still leftovers from yesterday's cooking, and it would be a waste to throw them away. Except for the stir-fried Chinese cabbage, the rest are all leftovers that were not eaten at night and reheated.

Jiang Zhimiao had no objection to this, picked up the egg pancake, put a piece of braised pork on it, and started eating it.

Seeing this, the others were not polite and started eating too.

"Mom, you have been embroidering this handkerchief for a long time. How about selling it on the street tomorrow?" Jiang Zhimiao suggested after finishing his meal and sitting on the kang while embroidering.

Xu Yourong smiled and nodded, "I thought so too. After working for so many days, didn't I just want to sell it to make money for the family? It just so happened that this batch of embroidery is almost finished and can be sold."

"Mom, your embroidery is so beautiful, it will definitely sell for a lot of money." Minghuai picked up a handkerchief, looked left and right, and praised with a smile like a flower.

He didn't know whether it would be sold tomorrow, but his mother had been embroidering for so many days and wasted so much effort. In his heart, it was the best. Even gold, silver and jewelry couldn't compare to this small handkerchief.

Xu Yourong hid her face and smiled, nodded her nose, and said angrily, "Hey, your little mouth is so sweet. What I said made my mother feel so sweet."

Minghuai wanted to say something else, so she smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you some good advice. If I sell it tomorrow, I'll take care of the sugar haws."

Jiang Zhimiao turned to look at Xu Yourong, and said with a straight face, "Mom, they are still young and cannot eat so much sugar. Too much sugar is not good for their teeth, and you don't want them to have one bite at such a young age. Rotten teeth."

Xu Yourong was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "Yes, you are right, then... let's have sex one by one, just to enjoy ourselves."

Mingzhu looked at them and turned the candied haws into a bunch with just two words. She was more sad than her heart was dead. She lay on the kang, frowned and said with a look of despair, "My heart aches."

"What, your heart hurts?" Jiang Zhimiao glanced at her jokingly, then put down the handkerchief and came to her to scratch the soles of her feet. "Hahahaha." The sudden itch on the soles of her feet caused the pearl to roll left and right, and she laughed uncontrollably.

Minghuai said nothing knowingly, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Xu Yourong looked at the scene of their sisters' deep love and harmony, and laughed softly.

Buying new year's goods is a major event of the year. Besides, the family already has some spare money, so Jiang Zhimiao did not prepare dry food like other families.

Although the dry food was good, it was freezing in the cold weather. Even when we arrived in town, it was hard to eat because of the cold. Not to mention the tooth decay, it was not delicious, so she said it would be better not to bring it.

Of course, such a willful decision is based on her family's financial conditions. If she has no money, let alone lose her teeth, she will still eat even if she knocks out her teeth.

He didn't even have dry food ready, and naturally he wasn't ready to pay for the car. This time, Jiang Zhimiao was going to take the car.

I feel numb after walking every day. Besides, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and it’s time to enjoy myself.

At dawn, the family got up refreshed and put on the clothes they carefully selected last night.

Originally, Xu Yourong was going to go there with a cart. After all, it cost two cents for one person and eight cents for four people. Every time he came back, he spent sixteen cents before the handkerchief was sold. It felt a little strange. Worth it.

Today is different from the past. Even though she has more than 1000 taels of wealth in her hand, she still wants to break all the money into two petals.

Of course, then again, money is a dead thing. If you don’t spend it on your children, who can you spend it on?She was saving money just for her children, so when they looked at her eagerly, her heart softened and she immediately agreed.

As soon as everything was done, the family happily went out.

Outside the courtyard gate, Wen's father, Wen's mother, and Wen Zhuqing's brothers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them coming out, a smile spread across Jingming's young face: "Hello, aunt, sister Miao, brother Minghuai, Mingzhu." Hello sister."

Although Mr. Wen was in good health, he was still not young after all. He immediately refused to go shopping for new year goods, which was a laborious and laborious matter. Except for Mr. Wen, all the Wen family members were present.

Jiang Zhimiao touched his head and replied with a smile: "It's good for you too." After a few words of greeting, the group arrived at the entrance of the village to wait for the bus.

When Uncle Lao Zhuang drove up, he saw a crowd of people waiting at the entrance of the village. He was stunned and felt happy. In winter, no one likes to go out on the street. These days, his business is very bleak. .

Not to mention that business was bleak, and his son at home wanted to study, and the day of spring closing was approaching. He was not eating well, could not sleep, and the money hanging over his head made him almost breathless. Fortunately, As the Chinese New Year approaches, life is getting better.

He drove the bullock cart quickly to them, holding on to the rope, his old face burst into laughter, "You are riding in the cart, right?"

He couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when he got closer, he realized that the girl standing at the front was actually the one who made trouble before. He was stunned, and a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.

The most important thing in business is the word "harmony". If she makes trouble again this time, he lowers his eyes and his expression changes instantly.

Jiang Zhimiao raised a smile and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, we are all riding in the car. This is sixteen cents. Please keep it." She took out sixteen copper coins from the cloth bag she carried with her and handed it over.

Uncle Zhuang was stunned for a moment and took the coin she handed over. After confirming the number, a smile appeared on his face, "Hey, why are you so polite? You're in a hurry. Come on, get in the car." he greeted.
