The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 5 Trading
  "You know, something happened to the old Zhao family." The person next to him immediately asked: "What's going on? What happened."

"You still don't know that Boss Zhao was hit by a cart while he was working in the fields. I heard that he fainted on the spot and was covered in blood!"

A group of people gathered around started talking. The Zhao family's popularity was not bad in the village. Several people immediately expressed their intention to go to Zhao's house to see if there was anything they could do to help.

The leper spat on the ground with a sound, and then he knew how to hold the stinky feet. You thought you could get something good, so you just tossed your sleeves and left. This time I see how proud you are of having spent all your money.

The four little ones who walked away did not hear these discussions. The four of them first came to the village chief's house, knocked on the door, and walked in.

"Grandpa, cousin, aunt, is there anyone at home?" Zhao Yunxi called in the yard.

The voice came from the backyard, and then a man walked out and replied as he walked: "Who is it?"

"Hello, auntie," the three of them said.

"Hey, why are you here with your cousin?" the fat woman asked. While wiping the water off the patched clothes.

"My cousin is fine. My sister and I just went to the woods to look for mountain products and picked some chicken feet fruits. We sent some to my uncle's house. I thanked my cousin for sending my dad to the county yesterday," Zhao Yunxi said.

"You kid, it's no trouble for your relatives. Your cousin came back and said that your father is much better, so I felt relieved. Just pick some fruits and keep them for yourself. There is no need to send them to my family."

"Auntie, just accept it! It's not a valuable thing, so just pick some wild fruits, and when my father comes back, I'll invite my aunt's family to our house for dinner." Zhao Yuntong said.

Zhao Yunxi placed the chicken feet fruit she was holding on the table in the yard, then took her two sisters and ran away.

After running out the door, the three of them walked towards Dr. Sun's house. After walking for a quarter of an hour, he stood at Sun Qing's door. The smell of herbal medicine wafted out in waves, and he shouted towards the yard: "Dr. Sun, are you at home?"

A loud male voice came from the yard: "Who is it? Come in."

When you walk into the yard, there are bamboo shelves on the left and right sides with many dustpans on them. All the Chinese herbal medicines in the dustpans are drying. Doctor Sun was drying herbs in the yard.

"Hello, Second Uncle Sun." The three of them said in unison.

Sun Qing turned around and saw the three girls from the Zhao family: "It's you. Is your father feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, Uncle Sun. My sister and I went to the woods to find some wild fruits and give them to you to eat," Zhao Yunxi said again.

"Hahaha, you girl, you are so polite. Let me see what you picked." He said and walked out from behind the shelf.

"Hey, chicken feet fruit, this is a good thing. Where did you find it?"

The three of them looked at Sun Er in surprise, and Sun Er continued: "This chicken claw fruit looks very old, and it needs some medicine."

Zhao Yunxi's heart moved when he heard this, and he was so sleepy that he encountered a pillow. Solved Zhao Yunxi's sales difficulties.

"Uncle Sun, if you need them, I'll give these to you. Anyway, they're just wild fruits, so we'll put some effort into bringing them back instead of spending money to buy them."

Sun Er looked at the serious-looking three sisters and said cheerfully: "You have worked so hard to move back here, how can I do that?"

Zhao Yunxi interrupted Sun Qing with a smile on his face and said: "Second Uncle Sun, there are still some in the forest. Let's pick them back. Can you find a shop to help sell them, and we'll pay 50-50 by then."

"Hahahahahaha, you are so smart! You are much smarter than your father. I'll do as you say, but only 30 to 70 points will be fine. You have worked so hard to pick it." Sun Qing said straightforwardly. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Sun." After saying that, he thanked Dr. Sun and walked out of the yard.

Sun Er looked at the three people walking away. Looking at Zhao Yunxi, who was dressed in floral cloth, he could see that this child dealt with people well. The family tradition of the Zhao family is really different.

Zhao's courtyard.

Mrs. Zhou and her three daughters-in-law were sitting together mending clothes, and the sound of laughing and joking passed through the courtyard door and reached their ears. Yang heard her daughter's voice, raised her head and looked towards the door, and saw three people running into the yard with smiles on their faces and many wild fruits in their hands.

When Zhao Yunxi saw his mother in the courtyard, he jumped over and said, "Mother, grandma, second aunt and third aunt." Then he sat down next to Yang with a small stool. May and June also came over and said, "Mother, grandma, second aunt and third aunt." , grandma, eldest aunt, (second aunt and third aunt)"

Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter and said angrily: "You haven't even washed your clothes. Where did you go? Why don't you go and wash your clothes?"

Zhao Yunxuan kept picking her fingers with both hands, lowered her head and whispered: "Mom, I'm going to wash it right now."

Zhao Yunxi said: "Third aunt, the second sister just took us to find a wild fruit in the woods. Dr. Sun said it was a medicinal material. He said he wanted to buy it, so I gave him some as a gift."

"Xiao Jiu, the third aunt is going to talk about you. This can be sold for money, how can you give it away for free? Why do you, a child, make your own decisions without consulting the adults." Wu said regretfully and depressedly.

"Third daughter-in-law, if you don't understand, don't speak. How can you be a good person and do things like a child?" Ms. Zhou glanced at Ms. Wu and said.

"Grandma, Uncle Sun said this can be used as medicine. I thought that since it can be used as medicine, we can pick the remaining ones from the tree and sell them. Uncle Sun helped us go to the drugstore to sell the chicken feet fruit, and the money was divided between our two families." Zhao Yun Xi said.

"Since we sell it to the drug store, why don't we just pick it and sell it ourselves? He will help sell it and share half of the money. Xiaojiu, you can tell Sun Er later that we don't want his help. Yes, go sell it yourself." Wu said.

Zhao Yunxi looked at the third aunt with a calculating face and said: "Third aunt, even if we know it is medicine, it is one thing whether the drug store will accept our chicken feet fruit. Even if they accept it, they will definitely bully us who don't understand. Low price."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the aggrieved Mrs. Wu and said, "My third daughter-in-law, you must learn to be grateful. Go and prepare dinner!" Then she said to Zhao Yunxi, "Since you and Sun Er have already discussed it, let's follow your instructions. It’s a matter of discussion, Grandma believes in Xiaojiu.”

Wu dropped the cloth in her hand and pulled Zhao Yunxuan away when she stood up to leave. As he walked, he cursed: "I'm wandering around all day long. I don't have to do any work at home. I haven't even washed the clothes I changed. I'm so lazy every day."

"Grandma, my second sister and I are also here to help." Zhao Yuntong said.

Seeing her granddaughter's pleasing appearance, Mrs. Zhou smiled kindly and said, "Okay, grandma knows you are all good children."

"Grandma, why doesn't the third aunt like the second sister? The second sister is obviously very diligent, the eldest sister doesn't do anything, and the third aunt doesn't talk about her." Zhao Yuntong said.

"Your third aunt is partial. Please take care of your second sister. Your second sister is a good one." Ms. Zhou said as she looked at her granddaughter walking away.

This Mrs. Wu really doesn't look like a mother.

Zhao Yunxi looked at the Wu family leaving and thought: She will definitely do some business in the future, but since her brothers have to take the scientific examination, their family will definitely not be able to become a merchant. The third aunt is a bit unclear about the situation, so she is definitely not someone to cooperate with.

Zhou took her granddaughter's hand and whispered: "Xiaojiu, grandma knows you are smart, but you are still young, so there are some things you don't need to worry about. Even if you are smart, you have to learn to hide your clumsiness, you know?"

Zhao Yunxi's heartbeat accelerated sharply when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhou. The old lady touched her head and smiled kindly.

She finally understood why the old lady's eyes were full of worry when she looked at her just now. She suddenly thought of a word: a wise man has a long life, but a wise man will be hurt.
