Yoyo Farming

Chapter 20

After a while, the bird eggs were sold, and so were the rabbits. Uncle Qin counted the money and said to the siblings: "We are going to eat, let's go together."

"No, we still have to go shopping and hurry back." Fu Niu politely declined, not knowing the price of the restaurant, if it is too expensive, I can't afford to eat other people's food, and I can't afford to invite others. It's better not to go.

Uncle Qin didn't make things difficult for them, so he left with Xiaomi.Fu Niu pulls the tie, so she can take a good stroll in the market to see how much it costs to build a comfortable home.

A wooden basin can be used for bathing, and the price is ten yuan, which is more expensive than embroidery work with bolts. Think about it, people still have the price of wood, and they are not willing to buy it;

A kitchen knife costs [-] cents for a sharp one, and after asking for daily necessities all the way, I have spent all the money in my hand, and it is almost there.Fu Niu cheered herself up in her heart, telling herself not to be discouraged, but she only had seventy coins in her bosom, and she was not willing to buy anything.

Hiding under the shade of a tree, the siblings ate cornmeal pancakes and a bird's egg each, and then worked together to figure out what was most needed at the moment.

A kitchen knife is not very necessary. There is no vegetable to be cut at present, and the bamboo whip is twisted by hand. It seems that Fu Niu thinks that what Fu Niu needs most is a set of clothes and a pair of shoes for each person.

Go ask, the price is even more scary.Youshuan hesitated and said: "Sister, let's go buy food first. We'll see how much money is left." This was a good idea, and Fu Niu agreed, so he went to buy food first, and bought the food that was dancing in Fu Niu's eyes. cornmeal.

The two siblings went to the grain shop together and asked about the price. A catty of cornmeal cost three Wen per catty. Fu Niu finally understood why Youshuan was stingy in the first place.

If there is an embroidery that cannot be tied, it can only be rounded with cornmeal.First buy ten catties of cornmeal and put Fu Niu on her shoulders, and then she will get rid of thirty Wen, leaving only forty Wen in her hand.

Youshuan agreed to buy a knife at this time. The reason was: "Sister, you are going into the mountains. You can't do without a knife. How can you go hunting." The kitchen knife used is not a long hunting knife, and we can't afford it at any price.

But since Youshuan had said it, he decided to fish in troubled waters and get a kitchen knife first. At this time, Fu Niu only thought about going to the mountains more, and then farming well, so that she could spend whatever money she wanted next time she came.It's a pleasure to spend money casually.

I bought a kitchen knife and only had 28 Wen in my arms.The siblings went home like this, at least Youshuan thought it was good, and talked a lot along the way: "Sister, we have a kitchen knife, sister, we have another ten catties of cornmeal."

This made Fu Niu even more determined to earn a lot of money and let Youshuan go to school, otherwise, she would be like this when she grows up, and she would only think about cornmeal.

The two siblings talked and laughed, with 28 Wen in their arms, ten catties of cornmeal on their shoulders, a new kitchen knife in their waist, and a bamboo basket carried by a tie, and they walked home together.

After walking a few steps, Youshuan stopped suddenly and looked into the grocery store by the roadside. It was a grocery store selling oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, as well as candy.

Fu Niu got it wrong, looked at the candies on the counter, they were just ordinary rock candies, and said to Youshuan: "If you want to eat, sister will buy it for you." Youshuan, who has always been careful and budget-conscious, did not hesitate this time He readily agreed: "Okay, sister, let's buy a packet of brown sugar."

For such a small request from a child, Fu Niu would of course agree. This brown sugar is not cheap. It cost ten Wen to buy a pack and put it in a bamboo basket. The siblings continued to walk home.

A voice came from behind: "Fu Niu." Looking back, they were two strong young men who looked alike. At first glance, they were brothers. They were both dark and tall.

The older one has the darkest face and is holding his younger brother by the side, as if to prevent him from calling Fu Niu.Youshuan reversed his flattery to Xiaomi just now, dangling the bamboo basket in his hand, looking up at the sky with his nose turned up, and pretending not to care about his voice.

"Brother Da Gen, Brother Da Zhuang, you are also here for the fair." With the blessing of Youshuan, Fu Niu can also guess that the younger Da Zhuang, who is a little excited when she sees her, is the former People who like Fu Niu.

At least Fu Niu likes Dazhuang, at least the current Fu Niu doesn't feel it, so when it's dark and the lights are turned off, you can't see people, and if you are white, at least you can barely count as a luminous body at night.

Fu Niu is also picky about her height, although Fu Niu likes tall people.But facing Youshuan's disdainful look, Fu Niu also criticizes in her heart, she is tall and wears clothes to take up space on the kang, and she seems to eat more than short people, this is unfounded up.

Dazhuang pushed away his big roots, came over with a smile on his face, and said to Fu Niu, "I'm so happy to hear that you can go into the mountains. Tomorrow I will go into the mountains too, do you want to come with me?"

Youshuan, who was pretending to be contemptuous, immediately had a little hesitation on his face when he heard such words. Of course it would be better to go with Dazhuang, a ready-made strong laborer.

But Fu Niu has figured it out, You Shuan despises her so much, it must be that Da Zhuang has disliked Fu Niu's illness, and Da Gen looks at Da Zhuang and herself nervously, as if he is afraid that he will eat Da Zhuang.

Fu Niu proudly said to Da Zhuang: "No, I have made an agreement with Old Uncle Qin and Xiaomi, we will go with them, and we will take care of each other." You Shuan on the side immediately parroted, and followed: "Yes, we are with Old Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin agreed, let’s go into the mountains together.”

Hearing what Fu Niu said, Da Zhuang was a little embarrassed. Standing in front of Fu Niu, Da Zhuang who was a head taller than Fu Niu said, "Fu Niu, I know..." The next sentence: "You hate me." Words have not yet been uttered.

Youshuan quickly pulled Fu Niu away, and said to Dazhuang in relief, "We have to hurry home." Fu Niu also cooperated with You Shuan once, and the siblings left together, except for the one left behind by You Shuan. One sentence counted as a reply and farewell, and no more words came out.

Dazhuang looked sadly at the figures of Fu Niu and his brother, who didn't look back, with a very sad look on their faces. "Da Zhuang." The older brother Da Gen came over to pull the younger brother: "She is not in good health, don't think about it anymore, when we have saved enough money, I will tell you a daughter-in-law first, and if I don't want it, can I tell you first?"
