Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 44
Buy rouge?
The ancient rouge was equivalent to Mo Qianrui's cosmetics in her previous life. Unfortunately, although she used various skin care products in her previous life, she was not very interested in cosmetics.Thinking about it carefully, even if she put on light makeup on her wedding day, Mo Qianrui usually didn't even wear lip gloss.

Firstly, it was because she never felt that she had to rely on makeup to go out and meet people.

Secondly, thanks to the working environment, even if the kitchen in my previous life was not smoky, the temperature was extremely high all year round. If I entered with heavy makeup on, I would definitely be able to pretend to be a ghost and scare people when I came out.

Mo Qianrui felt that in her previous life she hadn't used those troublesome things, and it was probably even more impossible in this life.After all, such things as makeup are purely tormenting oneself to benefit others.

But obviously, the little aunt didn't think so.

"Brother, you have bought me food a few times since I was a child, but you have never given me a decent gift. Buy me a box of rouge today, okay?" The little aunt didn't care what Mo Qianrui was doing at the moment. expression, just keep pestering Father.

"What to buy? With your ugly appearance, you would be equally ugly if you put gold on your face!" Father waved his hands impatiently and shooed the little aunt out like a fly, "Go, don't get in the way here. "

Dad's words were too straightforward, and the little aunt's face immediately turned black.

In fact, it's not that the little aunt doesn't know that she looks very ordinary. After all, her eyes are not for decoration.Even if she didn't care much about beauty and ugliness when she was a child, now she is 14 years old, how can she not understand?Besides, the eldest cousin married a wife last year, and the eldest cousin's sister-in-law is not a few years older than her, but she looks much more handsome.If she doesn't understand this comparison, she is really stupid.
"Brother! How can you say that about me? I don't look good because the clothes I wear are old and torn, and I don't wear rouge. If I dress up, I will definitely look better than sister-in-law!" The thing is, with my little aunt's temperament, all the mistakes are caused by others, and she is absolutely not wrong.

Father was entangled so helplessly, seeing that someone brought the child over to buy candy, he cruelly took out some big money from his pocket: "Here, hurry up and leave."

"It's only five cents? What can I buy?" The little aunt snatched the money from Father's hand, counted it carefully but was annoyed.

"You think it's too little? Then you give it back to me." Dad only has ten coins in total, and he is willing to give half of it, which is already very generous.How could he have thought that the little aunt didn't appreciate it at all, and also disliked how little he gave, so she immediately became annoyed.

Seeing that Dad was really angry, the little aunt hurriedly took two steps back, holding on to the money in her hand: "Where is there any reason to take back the things you gave away? Forget it, you guys are busy, I will go play."

Mo Qianrui raised her head slightly, watching her little aunt, who had money in one hand and candy in the other, go away.Shaking his head with a wry smile, he continued to do his own business.

However, to her surprise, the sugar painting business was not as good as expected.After placing it for almost half an hour, only seven or eight of them were sold.

"Father, why are there so few people in this town? It's not as crowded as the market in the countryside."

Earlier, Mo Qianrui went to the Liujiazhuang market and Wangjiaji, which had a lot of traffic.Even if it is not crowded, there are hundreds of people in at least one market.But there are fewer people in this town, Mo Qianrui made a rough calculation, they are at the entrance of the market, but there will never be more than fifty people passing by the stall.

"Silly girl, the market in this town is held every day. In our country, we only go to the market every few days. Like our Yangliu Village, the last time we went to the market was two months ago."

Mo Qianrui didn't quite understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally figured it out.

The town is different from the countryside, the streets are full of various shops.People in the town want to buy something, just go to the street.Unlike their villages, if you want to buy some oil and salt, even if you want to buy a flower head rope, you have to wait until the market to buy it.This is probably also the reason why her business is good every time she goes to the market. After all, those villagers have been holding back for a long time. The purpose of going to the market is to spend money. When they see candies, even if they don’t eat them, they will bring some for their children. .

It seems that in the future, you will have to go to the market to do business.

Thinking of this, Mo Qianrui simply made some sugar paintings, and put them densely on the straw targets: "Father, why don't we sell them as we go?"

"It's okay, next time Dad will make a grass target for you that you can carry on your shoulders."

Mo Qianrui's face froze. Could it be that the one that Dad was talking about sells candied haws?Well, her sugar paintings are essentially the same as candied haws, but she really doesn't want to carry such a thing on the street.It's not that she has a good face, but that kind of straw target always reminds her of Zhu Bajie's rake.

Father didn't know what Mo Qianrui was thinking, so he swiftly put away the other things and put them on the cart.He turned the back basket upside down, put the square grass target on the back basket, and called Mo Qianrui to get on the bullock cart.

Not to mention, this way is more conspicuous than before.

Sitting happily on the bullock cart, Mo Qianrui held down the target for fear that the grass target would fall over.Fortunately, the roads in the town are wider than those in the countryside. Even if the bullock cart stops in the middle of the road, it will not hinder others from walking.When someone looked at her twice more, Mo Qianrui called Tang Hua loudly for two cents a piece, but they sold some.

Of course, Mo Qianrui did not forget his purpose of coming to the town, to buy condiments and bring some pear syrup for Liniang.

These two items were really not available at ordinary stalls, so Mo Qianrui only bought a few catties of pears and a basket of loquats.Afterwards, Dad took Mo Qianrui to a shop specializing in condiments. Mo Qianrui picked out a dozen common and cheap condiments and spent nearly a hundred Wen, but she felt that the money was worth it. .By the time of the next fair, her trolley will be ready, and the variety will be more complete. Is it not easy to make money?
As for the pear syrup, it really made things difficult for Dad.

"This is the biggest vegetable market in the town. In the past, we used to buy things here when we came to the town. As your little aunt said, the east of the town is where rich people go." Dad didn't say anything. He said that although he had been to the town more than once, he had never been to the east side of the town, and he had no idea what was going on there.

Mo Qianrui was a little embarrassed, if she wanted to buy a rare item, it would be fine if she couldn't find it, but it was brought for Liniang, and she had already agreed to it before.

At this moment, the little aunt suddenly came out from the slanting eyes, and then complained to Dad: "Brother, why did you leave? I can't find you when I go back. If I knew you were still there How can you leave me when you can go shopping in such a comfortable way?"

Dad's eyes lit up, he ignored little aunt's complaints, let her climb into the bullock cart, and said: "Little sister, do you know where there is pear syrup?"

"What? Pear syrup? Do you have a sore throat? You have to buy this at the pharmacy on the street."

Mo Qianrui's heart moved. In fact, when Liniang asked her to bring pear syrup, she vaguely thought of something, but Liniang's greed left a deep impression on her, and she said that Liniang was greedy again. Other snacks.Mo Qianrui had already thought of it when little aunt mentioned her sore throat.Pear itself has the effect of relieving cough. After adding some medicinal materials to make pear syrup, it has a miraculous effect on relieving cough and asthma.

Coincidentally, she also remembered the recipe of pear syrup. She also bought several catties of pears before. If she had the corresponding medicinal materials, she could make them herself.

Of course, Liniang's share had to be bought first, but by the way, he could buy some medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and later Mo Qianrui planned to make it himself and sell it in the market.

Under the guidance of her little aunt, Mo Qianrui finally bought pear syrup, but the medicinal materials were too expensive.Fortunately, she didn't have too many pears, so buying a small amount was almost enough.

After everything is done, it is natural to go back.

Father intends to send the little aunt back first, and then go out of town, but unexpectedly, he meets grandma at the entrance of the alley.

Grandma was standing at the entrance of the alley with a bag in her hand, her face was so heavy that ink dripped out, but she scared the little aunt quite a bit, and she was still angry, so she was waiting here to deal with her Woolen cloth.

"Dashan, take your sister home first, and I will go to the village to pick her up in a few days." Throwing the burden in her hand onto the ox cart, Grandma didn't wait for Father's reaction, turned around and left .

Dad was very surprised, but he didn't refuse.The main reason is that Grandma didn't give him a chance to object at all. He came here purely to inform rather than discuss.Besides, if it's true, the Mo family in Yangliu Village is my aunt's home, and my father has no reason to object to letting her go home to live for a few days.

As a result, the original return journey of two people became three people. Although Dad didn't object, he could see that he was very unhappy.

When he was about to leave the town, Dad bought two steamed buns for four Wen at the bun shop at the entrance of the town, and handed one to Mo Qianrui: "Big girl, you can eat one too."

Mo Qianrui was actually very hungry, but he didn't take the steamed buns: "Father, let's eat. When I get home, my mother will definitely make something delicious for us. I want to keep my stomach."

Father didn't say anything, just swallowed the two steamed buns in two bites.

The little aunt was so angry that she pounded the oxcart desperately. After seeing that Dad didn't respond at all, she finally couldn't help it: "Brother, I'm hungry too, why don't you buy me a meat bun!"

"Do meat buns beat dogs?" Dad muttered angrily, "I know how to eat all day long, I'm lazy and greedy, and I don't know who will be so unlucky to marry you in the future."

"Brother, you don't love me at all. Let me go, so I don't want to go to that wretched place in the countryside with you! Let me go, I want to go home!" The little aunt was really going crazy. To take care of her, he kicked his legs and shouted.

Mo Qianrui quickly hugged the basket that contained all her belongings, for fear of being knocked down.

Unexpectedly, her actions caught the attention of my little aunt, and the little aunt kicked Mo Qianrui in a rage.Mo Qianrui quickly dodged, but the bullock cart was only so big, and she fell out of the cart even with the back basket after dodging like this.
