Chapter 39

An old lady was walking around in front of the stall, her eyes wandering from cucumbers to tomatoes and back again.

"Auntie, what do you want to buy?" Coriander glanced at her and asked kindly.

"Girl, how do you sell cucumbers and tomatoes separately? There are also such cut ones."

"Cucumber is 40 cents a piece, tomato is 45. Cucumbers with sugar are more expensive, 45." Coriander looked at the woman, looked at her eyes, and asked her about each item, guessing that she was here to inquire.But Coriander still answered patiently.

"Yo, so expensive? Are you going to grab it?"

"Auntie, that's not what I said. My out-of-season vegetables are delicious." Coriander just smiled, not annoyed.

"Hey, girl, tell my aunt, how did you grow your tomatoes and cucumbers?" The aunt suddenly said kindly.

"I'm sorry, auntie. It's a business secret and I have no comment." Coriander was still smiling, but she was not polite at all. What can I tell you, even if I tell you the vegetables in the greenhouse, can you get them out?

The aunt thought that the little girl was a good talker, but she didn't expect that she would be blocked by a quick sentence.The aunt turned around and left with a smug expression on her face.

The old lady was anxious while listening, and almost chased the woman away, but she was relieved when she heard that Coriander replied beautifully.

Soon the baskets and baskets were full of sales. Those who came down from the mountain, some passed by and bought something to quench their thirst, and some bought it to cook at home.

"Sister!" Er Dan quickly ran over.

"Ah, bum. You're here to play too."

A group of people came over, and Coriander took a look. Besides Er Dan, there was also her father, a friend of her father who was studying, surnamed He, that friend's son, and a little girl with a pointed chin and slightly raised head.

Xiangcai knew her father's friend, who was also a scholar, but his son was a bit of a stranger, he was a handsome white-skinned boy, cleanly dressed, and looked gentle.As for the little girl, I have a little impression that she seems to be Li Xinghua, the daughter of Carpenter Li at the west end of the village.These two have been studying and playing together with Erdan, so Coriander knows a little.

"Oh, my son, it's a coincidence that you came here. They are all sold out." The old lady was holding a big tomato and chewing happily.

"I'm not thirsty. It's just that the girls set up a stall." Frowning, a little displeased.He always felt in his heart that his family was a scholarly family, and the stench of money in business would stain the clean family tradition.

Coriander flat mouth, your sister, what's the matter with the stall?As long as I can make money, this family is dying of poverty. Is it wrong for me to make some money to subsidize it?Pedantic.

"Son, don't be angry. I think this girl is right. She can't enter school anyway, and she can't read. Wouldn't it be a good thing to earn some money to subsidize the family?" The old lady didn't think so, money is a good thing, who Have a grudge against money.

"Yes. Mother." He replied muffledly, and dropped his hands in silence.

"The old lady is right!" His friend looked at the coriander with a smile, "Isn't it good to have such a capable daughter? If you don't want it, hehe——Why don't you send it to my family? Anyway, my family Shuyun also lacks a wife, haha. "

Coriander was teased in front of everyone, her face became slightly hot, and she looked at the boy who was about twelve or thirteen years old.

It just so happened that those quiet eyes also looked over, collided suddenly, and suddenly panicked.

But she pretended to be calm and refused to look away, and simply stared at him openly.Only then did she know his name - He Shuyun.His eyes are quiet, his white coarse robe is quiet, and his eyebrows are quiet.

There is a quiet landscape in his whole body.

The strange thing is that it is obviously very quiet—but it is an existence that cannot be ignored.

He also looked directly at her, surprised in his heart, shouldn't he have lowered his head, blushed, stamped his feet in embarrassment, turned his head and ran away, afraid to look at him?Why is she different? Just look at yourself straight, with bold eyes.

"Ahem—that girl is still young." Chen Shi hurriedly smiled and turned away, turned around to help Xiangcai smooth the messy hair on her forehead, and said softly: "You have been tired for half a day, go and talk to Er Dan Let's play for a while! Your grandma and I will take care of things."

"That's great, Sister Xiangxiang, let's go play together!" Er Dan dragged Coriander's hand and ran away.

Xinghua's eyes fell on Erdanla Coriander's hand, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.The three of them were used to studying and playing together, so she could see that Erdan was making out with that bumpkin girl. "Shuyun, wait for me." He hummed softly, raised his chin, and ran forward a few steps quickly, joking with He Shuyun.

"Oh, slow down." Coriander broke away calmly, after all, she is no longer a child. In ancient times, girls in their teens were going to get married, so it's better to avoid it.What's more, Xinghua's unhappy expression just now fell into her eyes.

While talking and laughing, Xinghua quickly glanced at the coriander with disdain from the corner of her eyes, and kicked the small stone vigorously and viciously under her feet.Small stones "Blu Bru" roll forward.

Coriander could vaguely hear them talking about themselves.

"Hmph, she doesn't know a single character. Look at that dress..." Xinghua groaned, but her voice was not low, and she intentionally let the coriander hear her.

"She just didn't go to school like us."

"You are not allowed to call me Miss Xiangxiang! I, Miss Xiangxiang, didn't go to school, but she is smarter than you! I can also cook all kinds of delicious food, can you do it?" Doe Dan rushed over and said loudly.

Seeing Erdan defending herself, Xiangcai felt warm in her heart. Although the brat was a little impulsive, she was still towards herself after all.

Xinghua's thin skin suddenly turned red, biting her lower lip tightly, Xingzi's eyes blinked in disbelief, full of grievance and anger, usually the two boys treat her very well, and she feels like a princess, Er Dan had never talked to himself so loudly before.Immediately stomping her foot, she said in a sharp voice, "Why are you comparing me to that bumpkin! I know she will! You scolded me so loudly just because of an outsider!"

"When did I scold you? I'm telling the truth. She's not an outsider, she's my sister Xiangxiang." Seeing that Xinghua was annoyed, Erdan didn't dare to provoke her, her voice lowered a little.This little girl is very powerful, if she is in a hurry, she will jump up and beat and bite, but it's good.Mother said that he is a boy who stands up to the sky, and he can't care about it like a girl.

"Just scold, scold, scold, scold!" Xinghua desperately bit her lip, stomped her feet, and a cloud of wanton dust flew up.

"Okay, okay, let's each take a step back." He Shuyun stood up and dissuaded in a gentle voice: "You two! Everyone is here to play, not to fight."

"Erd, you have to give up the girl." Coriander also came over, tugged on Er Dan's sleeve, and whispered.

"I listen to my sister and don't fight with her." Erdan curled her lips, raised her thick eyebrows, and turned her face away from Xinghua.

"Okay, look—the kite over there is so beautiful!" Coriander pointed to the blue sky, and said with a smile on her face, "It's a good time in spring. Let's fly the kite! Let go of all the unhappiness!"
