Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 27 The Heartwarming Xiao Chu

Xia Qinghe felt a pain in her heart when she heard this, if it wasn't because she had promised Zhu Xiaochang to treat Zhu Xiaochang to eat steamed buns, if she hadn't wanted Zhu Xiaochang to help her with things in the future, she wouldn't be so generous, no, it's not easy to make money.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, pretending to be free and easy: "If you want to eat buns, you have to do things for me. Remember the yam you carried today. It was sold for fifty yuan in total, enough for you to eat ten buns, but you have to Just work hard to dig the yams, how about you take a hoe and go up the mountain with me tomorrow to look for yams."

In Zhu Xiaochang's view, the yam is definitely not as important as the steamed stuffed bun. He didn't expect that those yams can be exchanged for steamed stuffed buns. It's good to eat steamed stuffed buns. It would be better if you can eat steamed stuffed buns every day, so he immediately got motivated and patted himself on the chest and said: "Qinghe, don't worry, I will go up the mountain with you to dig yams when I get back."

Seeing Zhu Xiaochang's confident appearance, Xia Qinghe didn't feel so hurt, and felt that the dozens of pennies he had spent were not in vain.

It was only then that Xia Qinghe thought about looking at the shops on both sides of the street. Although the town is small, it has all the internal organs. This kind of remote town has no city walls. Except for the two streets that look a little more orderly, the rest of the place looks chaotic. of.

There are only sweet potatoes and no other food in the house, so I have to buy rice, as well as oil, and a few eggs. Thinking of this, she patted her bag, and felt that the remaining dozens of copper coins were not enough flower.

She didn't plan to use the broken silver, it had to be saved. When she walked into the rice shop, she saw the white rice in the sack and almost drooled, thinking of the sweet taste of the rice she ate before. I have never felt that rice is so delicious.

Swallowing her saliva, she raised her head, only to see the waiter at the rice shop looking at her strangely.

Well, she was indeed a bit embarrassed just now.

She pointed to the white rice and said, "How much is this per catty?"

The shop waiter didn't answer, but looked at Xia Qinghe contemptuously. From top to bottom, he felt that Xia Qinghe must not be able to afford rice.

Xia Qinghe was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the waiter, but when he thought that he was a customer, he was angry at being looked at like this, so he couldn't help raising his voice: "How much is this per catty."

The waiter was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he looked ordinary and nothing special, but his eyes showed disdain and disdain for Xia Qinghe.

Xia Qinghe was a little annoyed, the waiter's attitude was really bad.

"Can you afford it? This is high-quality fragrant rice for [-] Wen a catty, and there is corn for [-] Wen a catty over there."

The shop boy's words were full of arrogance.

Xia Qinghe took a blank look at the shop waiter and didn't care about it with the shop waiter, but secretly thought that the steamed buns he ate just now were really too expensive and cost five cents a piece, and it hurts to think about it now.

Twenty cents a catty, she frowned and thought for a while, "Give me a catty of fragrant rice, and five catties of corn." She really wants to eat white rice, so let's be willful for a while, at least let her five internal organs feel comfortable first. I'll talk about it later.

The waiter in the shop couldn't believe it when he heard that Xia Qinghe wanted to buy it, but when he saw Xia Qinghe's clothes, he knew that she was a girl from a poor family. Can a girl from a poor family be so determined to buy this fragrant rice?He couldn't help reminding: "Don't be angry, if your adults know that you have spent so much money to buy this rice, they might beat you up. Let me tell you, the rice we sell here is not back."

Xia Qinghe felt that the waiter in the shop was too restless, and urged: "If you are told to call you, do it. It's not that I won't give you money."

Six catties of grain should be enough for three days, and it will be delicious when cooked with fragrant rice. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that she should do this.

The sixty cents were gone, Xia Qinghe thought about the remaining ten cents and decided to buy a few cents of salt and some oil along the way.

After buying all the things, she had nothing left on her, and she couldn't spend any broken silver, so she took Zhu Xiaochang back with some unfinished business.

The market had already dispersed, and there were only a few sparse people walking on the street. She had planned to buy some meat before, but now she had no money to buy meat.

He wanted to go back along the river, but he saw Xiao Chu sitting on the bow of the boat fishing before he walked too far.

She was overjoyed and hurried up with Zhu Xiaochang: "Xiao Chu."

Xiao Chu, who was fishing, "hush" at Xia Qinghe, and pointed to the river.

Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang were both quiet, and they walked slowly, but happened to see the float move, Xiao Chu put away the fishing rod, and a fish the size of three fingers was pulled up, Xiao Chu's movements were quick, and the fish was released directly Into the fish basket.

Xia Qinghe smiled and quickly took out the buns she bought from her back basket. Originally, the shopping did not take much time, but now the buns were still warm, so she handed them to Xiao Chu and said, "Eat the buns I bought for you while they are hot."

Xiao Chu was a little surprised, raised his head and glanced at Xia Qinghe, then looked at the bun in Xia Qinghe's hand, couldn't help but smiled and said: "This bun is not cheap, did you really buy it for me?"

Xia Qinghe and Xiao Chu have been together for a long time, she has long regarded Xiao Chu as a friend, and said into Xiao Chu's arms: "I didn't buy it for you, who else can I sell it to, let alone whether it is expensive or not What, the rabbit meat and pheasant you hunted on weekdays are not cheap, why don’t you still give them to me?”

She felt that Xiao Chu was too polite, she had long regarded Xiao Chu as a friend, and she didn't want Xiao Chu to be so polite at all.

Xiao Chu smiled cheerfully: "Well, I won't be polite to you anymore, let's get on the boat and let's go home."

Xia Qinghe was surprised, could it be that Xiao Chu was waiting for them here?

"Did you not go back?"

Xiao Chu gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun, and said vaguely: "Anyway, I'm fishing here because of something, you hurry up and get on the boat, I still have to do business, and the people in the village are probably going to the opposite side of the village soon."

Xia Qinghe's heart was warm, and she hurriedly yelled at Zhu Xiaochang to get on the boat, and as soon as she put the basket on her back, Xia Qinghe sat in the middle of the boat. She was in a very good mood, and told Xiao Chu what happened today: "I thought that neither herbs nor yams could be sold. It turned out that I was lucky, and now I really feel that there are still many good people in the world, such as you, for example, shopkeeper Liao and shopkeeper Yao that I met today are all good people."

Xiao Chu smiled faintly. He was very happy in the past few days, and even the people in the village said that the smiles on his face were increasing.

Listening to Xia Qinghe talking happily, he was also happy for Xia Qinghe.

Zhu Xiaochang was very sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze after getting on the boat. It was also this baby who had a big heart and was not afraid of falling into the water by accident.

Xiao Chu was very interested in the jelly that Xia Qinghe said, and asked doubtfully: "I haven't heard you say that there is such a thing as jelly before, are you sure you can make it?"
