Chapter 509 Buying Eggs

"Not at home." Mrs. Xia looked at the green bamboo and said, "His father and Dabao went to the field early in the morning. If the spring plowing is not busy, in autumn, the field will only be full of light." .”

Said, Xia Wang's tone was slightly sour, and he said: "We are not like you, one big and one small, all of them are promising, and now they have become nobles and eat the emperor's food. Didn't come back, maybe..."

"Mother, what are you talking about!" Hearing that her mother's tone was not right, Xia Xiaobao raised her voice and interrupted her.

Mrs. Xia also noticed that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said, so she changed the subject, tapped Xia Xiaobao's forehead and said, "What are you talking about? You don't make progress all day long, and you're too lazy to talk about it. That's the point." I just got up, not to mention going to the field to help your father and brother, but just asking you to help me light the fire. You didn't come in after all these three reminders, why did I give birth to you such a lazy boy..."

"Oh, mother, don't talk nonsense, Sister Qingzhu is still here, she came here early in the morning, not to listen to your nagging." Xia Xiaobao turned his head dissatisfied, and said to Xia Wangshi.

"Hey, look at me, this mouth can never be idle, Qingzhu, don't take it to heart." Xia Wangshi smiled at Qingzhu when she heard the words, and said.

Saying that, Xia Wang glared at Xia Xiaobao again, and said, "It's all about you, if you hadn't been so lazy all day long, would I be able to talk about you like this? And you said that I was just raising you for nothing." You are so big, tell me about you, you are also the same size as Qingshan, and you are so promising, why do you..."

Qing Zhu was a little embarrassed at first, but now she became more and more helpless, so she simply interrupted Xia Wang's words, and said: "Auntie, I have something to do with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me, auntie, listen." Mrs. Xia looked at Qingzhu and said, and then yelled at Xia Xiaobao: "Stinky boy, your sister Qingzhu has something to do with me, why don't you go into the kitchen and look at it?" On fire? When your father and brother come back later, the meal hasn't been cooked yet, let's see how your father will deal with you."

When Xia Xiaobao heard Xia Wang's words, he nodded in response: "Understood." Then he said to Qingzhu: "Sister Qingzhu, I'm going to light the fire, you have something to tell my mother."

"Well, good." Qingzhu looked at Xia Xiaobao and nodded.

When Xia Xiaobao went to the kitchen, Qing Zhu looked at Xia Wang and smiled and said, "Auntie, I just have no eggs at home, so I came to see you, if there are any eggs, you can sell me some."

"Eggs, yes." When Xia Wang heard Qingzhu said that he wanted to buy eggs, he nodded quickly and said, "It happens that I don't have time to go to the market to sell eggs these days, and I have saved dozens of them. How much do you want for Qingzhu?"

"I'm just baking a cake, and it doesn't cost much, I can buy five or six." Qingzhu said, looking at Xia Wangshi.

"It's only five or six..." When Xia Wang heard Qingzhu's words, his face showed some regret, and he said, "I thought you wanted a lot..."

Saying that, Xia Wang looked at Qingzhu again and said: "Qingzhu, there are so many people in your family, don't you eat eggs or something on weekdays? Otherwise, you might as well buy all the eggs from your aunt's house Now, my aunt doesn't have time to go to the market these days, so why don't you do me a favor?"

"You also know that if the eggs are stored for a long time, they will go bad. The bad eggs can't be eaten, and they can't be sold. Isn't this stealing your aunt's heart?"

Xia Wangshi is telling the truth, she always likes to be greedy for petty gains, and is also frugal on weekdays, if this really ruins the eggs in the house and cannot be sold, then she doesn't know that it will be a catastrophe. What is it like to cry?

Qingzhu thought that he would live for a few more days anyway, the eggs are not inedible, and it is okay to buy them, so he nodded, looked at Mrs. Xia and said, "Okay then, how many eggs do you have at home, auntie?"

Hearing that Qingzhu promised to save all the eggs he saved, "not too many, just forty or fifty, with so many of you, you can eat them all in a few days."

"That's okay, auntie finds something to help me put it on, and I didn't bring anything to put it on." Qingzhu looked at Xia Wangshi and said.

"Okay, green bamboo, wait a minute." Xia Wang said, found a basket, pulled a handful of straw, and cut it with a hatchet in the yard, and then went to Went to pick eggs in the house, and let Qing Zhu enter the house with her, watching her count while picking.

Qingzhu shook her head, looked at Wang Xiashi and said with a smile: "Don't look at it anymore, can't you still trust your aunt?"

"That's true." Mrs. Xia also nodded, and said, "Auntie, although I'm always greedy for petty gains or something, I'm not the kind of person who can cheat. Okay, Qingzhu, since you can rest assured, then Auntie will I went to pick it up for you by myself. Come on, sit down for a while and wait for auntie in the yard first.

Saying that, Xia Wang helped Qingzhu bring a small bench over, wiped it with the lapel of his clothes, and then handed it to Qingzhu.

Qing Zhu took the bench and thanked Mrs. Xia, just sat down when suddenly he said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Xia Wangshi turned to look at Qingzhu and asked.

Qingzhu stood up from the bench, looked at Mrs. Xia and said, "Auntie, I'm in a hurry to make pancakes. Otherwise, you can help me get five or six eggs out first, and I'll take them back first. The rest, I'll come back to get it later, do you think so?"

"Sure, Auntie will go get you a few first, and the rest will be counted by Auntie later, and Xiaobao will bring them to you." Mrs. Xia nodded and replied.

"Well, thank you, auntie." Qingzhu nodded and said to Xia Wangshi.

Mrs. Xia entered the house, and soon came out of the house, dragging a bundle made of old handkerchiefs.

Walking in front of Qingzhu, Mrs. Xia handed the burden to Qingzhu, and said: "My aunt's chickens lay good eggs, and you can eat bugs these days, so they are all bigger. Your hands are not good either." Take it, Auntie will wrap it for you with an old handkerchief, so that you can take some more. Later, Xiaobao sent eggs over, and you just ask Xiaobao to bring this handkerchief back to Auntie."

"Okay, thank you, auntie, should I give the money to you now, or to Xiaobao later?" Qingzhu nodded, thanked Xia Wangshi and asked.

"Give it back to Xiaobao. Anyway, I'm not afraid that the boy will be confused by this rare thing." Xia Wang said with a smile, and then said to Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, the eggs from my aunt's house are good. Go to the market to sell it, and you can sell it for three pennies apiece, look at this..."
