Chapter 14

"Why buy that? It's not delicious, and it's more expensive than sorghum rice noodles." Qi Hairui was a little anxious when he heard that, and quickly objected.

"Second brother, I was thinking that we should make some big sauce by ourselves. Although there is a lot of old sauce, it is only enough for us to eat for one winter. We will have no sauce when spring begins." Qi Yuanyuan grabbed Qi Hairui's hand The forehead sleeve explained.

"My little girl is more thoughtful, Hai Rui, let my little girl decide when it comes to shopping, and girls are more thoughtful than us." Qi Haicheng said, originally he didn't quite agree with Qi Yuanyuan buying soybeans, but now he It is a hundred willing.

"Yeah!" Qi Hairui nodded, and said again: "However, the new soybeans are coming soon, and there are quite a few in the village. We can go back and buy from the villagers."

Qi Yuanyuan disagreed, "Second brother, people want to ask us where the money came from, what shall we say?" It's not that Qi Yuanyuan is stingy. Don’t reveal it.” Although their family doesn’t have any money, it’s best not to let outsiders see a copper coin just for their children.People's hearts are separated from each other, who knows which one will have bad thoughts.

"Second Uncle Sun's house grows beans, let's go buy them at his house." Qi Hairui thought for a while, and then said.

Qi Yuanyuan can see that her second brother's personality is not only a bit stubborn, but also a bit too budget-minded, "Second brother, I dare say we go to Uncle Sun's house to buy beans, he won't even take money from us, Second Uncle Sun's family I have already helped us a lot, and I don’t want to take advantage of others. We have no parents, and most people in the village look upon us as pity, but we can’t just rely on people to take care of us, we have to rely on our own efforts to live So that the three brothers and Guoguo can stand up in front of people in the future."

After hearing Qi Yuanyuan's words, Qi Haicheng and Qi Hairui felt a little hot in their eye circles, and they fought back to keep the tears from falling. It wasn't because of grievances, nor was it all because of being moved, as if they were still full of this kind of indescribable heroic spirit.

"Little sister, you're right. The second brother was thinking about it before. We have to rely on ourselves. When Mother was around, she always said that asking for others is better than asking for yourself." Qi Hairui said in a soft voice.

When Qi Hairui said this, Qi Yuanyuan remembered the gentle, well-educated woman in her dream, the mother of this body, that woman did not think of ordinary rural women at all, she not only knew how to embroider, but was also literate, When I have nothing to do, I will teach a few children to read and recite simple "Disciple Rules" and "San Zi Jing".Qi Yuanyuan had always wondered about the origin of the original owner's mother, but there was no such thing in her dream, all she knew was that she was an orphan who had no father when she was young, and no mother when she grew up.

Qi Yuanyuan didn't linger for long, thinking of looking for an opportunity to ask her eldest brother and second brother, they are older, and they may have heard what their parents said. "Then buy soybeans?" Qi Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"Buy it!" Qi Hairui gritted his teeth and agreed.

Qi Yuanyuan decided to buy three catties of soybeans, ten catties of sorghum rice noodles, five catties of large-grain salt, and a pack of seasonings, which cost a total of 220 Wen. Seeing Qi Haicheng take out the money, Qi Hairui closed his eyes in distress.

When she was about to go out, Qi Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that there were red chili peppers in the store. According to her memory, chili peppers should have been introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty, but she always felt that this place was a bit like the Song Dynasty described in the history books. Could it be that the history is biased? , It is not impossible, you must know that the Dakang Dynasty has never appeared in the history of China.

"Brother, I want to buy some more." Qi Yuanyuan pointed at the pepper and said.

"What is this? I haven't seen it before." Qi Haibo picked up a red pepper and asked curiously.

"This is chili pepper. It was consigned here by a relative of the owner, who said it was brought back from a far away place." They bought so many things, the young man was very happy, and enthusiastically answered Qi Haibo's doubts.

"Brother, how do you sell this pepper?" Qi Yuanyuan asked with a smile.

Seeing that Qi Yuanyuan really wanted to buy it, the smile on the boy's face became more sincere, "It's not expensive, if all the girls have it, it will be sold for ten cents."

"Little sister, let's buy this and we don't know how to eat it, so we better not buy it." Qi Hairui pulled Qi Yuanyuan aside and said.

"Second brother, this is of great use to me! You just have to wait and see!" Qi Yuanyuan knew that Qi Hairui cared about money again, so she explained amusedly.

"Brother, your chili looks a little dark in color. It should be old goods, right? You can buy it cheaper, and we will have it for six cents." Qi Yuanyuan turned around and approached the little guy again, and began to lower the price.

"Little girl, it's so much cheaper at once. I can't explain it to the owner. In this way, I think you are buying it sincerely. If you give Jiuwen money, I will make the decision." The boy returned the price with a slightly tangled expression.

"Up to seven characters!" Qi Yuanyuan said with her five fingers together.

"Seven Wen is too little! If the little girl adds one more, it will be auspicious."

Qi Yuanyuan turned around and called out to his elder brothers, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, let's go!"

"Don't you want to buy chili?" Qi Haibo reluctantly put down a chili in his hand and asked.

"No, we don't know what to do with it anyway." Qi Yuanyuan replied.

"Don't go, since this little brother likes it, let's just take Qiwen!" The little guy watched Qi Yuanyuan stepping out, and shouted quickly.

After paying another seven Wen, Qi Yuanyuan happily put a large bag of peppers into the basket.

"This money is really expensive. In a short time, I spent more than 200 cash." Qi Hairui couldn't help but said after leaving the grocery store.

"Second brother, if you earn money, you have to spend it. If you don't learn how to spend money, you won't make money." Qi Yuanyuan was happy because she bought chili peppers, and she spoke much more cheerfully.

"Little sister, it's wrong for you to say that. If you don't make money first, there will be money to spend. It's not easy for us to make money, but we can't spend money indiscriminately. Every copper coin has to be spent in useful places. You just say you just bought it. These chili peppers, I don't know what to do with them, so I have to buy them." Qi Hairui retorted in disapproval.

"Second brother, do you really believe it? I told that boy, otherwise he would not sell it to us cheaply." Qi Yuanyuan knew that the theory of spending money would be difficult to explain to the second brother for a while, so he could only talk to the second brother. Subtle influences in later life, it does not lie in his arguing, but just explaining the problem of pepper.

"So little girl, do you know what the peppers are used for?" Qi Hairui was curious again.

"Did the second brother forget my dream?" Qi Yuanyuan reminded.

"How did I forget about this!" Qi Hairui patted his head, "Little sister, I'm sorry, it's the second brother who misunderstood you."

"Second brother, what did you say, my brothers and sisters, there is nothing you can't say." Hearing Qi Hairui's apology to herself, Qi Yuanyuan was still a little embarrassed.

"I just said, let my little sister decide what to buy, but you just don't listen!" Qi Haicheng patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and the old god said.
