Chapter 158 Buy New Year’s goods

Looking at the devastated Chunniang, Fat Miaoer held her hand and comforted her: "Aunt, don't be sad. The world is so big, there is always a miracle doctor who can cure her aunt."

"Pang Miao'er is right. Sister Wu must not be discouraged. I heard that when I was in the Tongzong Mansion, the wife of the prefect was also infertile and was later cured by the genius doctor Yiyunyou." Fang Zhu, who was standing beside him, also advised him.

After hearing the two of them, Chunniang's face looked better. Thinking about Master Lan Ran's words just now, hope rekindled in her heart.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Chunniang shook her head, pulled Fat Maoer, walked down the mountain with Liu Yeer and Fang Zhu.

When he arrived at the donkey cart at the foot of the mountain, Luliang had been tied up by Wu Yong with spare ropes on the donkey cart.

He looked up and said, "There are too many people and I can't sit down. You guys go back to the city first, I will escort him and follow behind."

After explaining a few words, Wu Yong asked everyone to go first.

...

In the county town.

Fat Miaoer and others walked on the street with a donkey cart.

There are shops on both sides, and the noon sun shines on the bright pavilions around it, making a prosperous scene.

Perhaps because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many vendors setting up stalls on the street, and they sell a variety of things, noisy and hawking sounds that are not up to the ears.

"Sell frozen pears! Big and sweet frozen pears!"

"The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, drive away the beasts of the New Year, and sell firecrackers!"

"Selling brooms, selling brooms, sweeping away the unsatisfactory year..."

“…”

"Sister-in-law, it's the Chinese New Year. Let's go to Yipinxuan to pull up some good materials and make some new clothes?"

Fang Zhu suggested to Chunniang.

"I won't buy it anymore, you can buy it. This cotton jacket was made last year and it's still very new." Chunniang was in a lack of interest, and the sad face between her eyebrows and eyes had not yet dissipated.

Seeing her like this, Fang Zhu felt uncomfortable.

Every family has its own difficult sutras.

The same goes for her.

I haven't figured out my own affairs yet, and I don't know how to persuade me.

Only Fat Meower, a compass, and also has the habits of children.

Running happily in the front, curiously looking left and right, excited.

"This place is much better than in the town." Fat Miao'er sighed.

This was her first time in the county town, and she was attracted by the prosperous scene in front of her. The road was spacious, straight, clean and tidy.

The ground of the commercial street where they are located is paved with bluestone, highlighting its prosperity.

Fat Miao'er stopped in front of the firecracker stall, her big eyes flashing.

She had seen the firecrackers, but had never let them go, so she had wanted to try them.

"Little girl, I want to buy firecrackers, where is your elder?" An old man looked at Fat Miaoer with a kind face and asked.

“In the back.”

Fat Miao'er was nude in the direction of Fang Zhu and Chunniang.

"Grandpa, how do you sell this firecracker?"

Fat Miaoer asked, wanting to reach out and pick it up and take a look.

The old man quickly stopped him: "Don't move around little guy, this thing is very dangerous."

After being dissuaded, Fat Miaoer pouted her mouth unhappily.

Li Xiaodao walked over and gently rubbed Fat Miao'er's head.

He was tall and strong. When the old man saw that it was her brother, he immediately said, "This firecracker is one hundred times."

"One hundred cigarettes? That's so expensive?"

Fat Miaoer grew up with her mouth in surprise.

I knew that a pound of cornmeal cost only four cents and a pound of meat cost only ten cents.

Such a firecracker can be exchanged for twenty-five kilograms of cornmeal.

"Grandpa, one hundred cigars is too expensive. You are cheaper, let's buy a cart." Fat Miaoer came back from the shock and said with a smile.

The old man smiled and shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Who doesn't know in Yulin County? My firecrackers are the loudest."

"Grandpa, you should be cheaper. We came from Dashi Village and don't have that much money." Fat Miao'er blinked her watery eyes and said softly.

The old man saw that Fat Miaoer's chubby little face was white and pink, very cute, which reminded him of his little granddaughter.

He gritted his teeth and whispered: "My firecracker is never a bad price. I will make you more favorable. I will give you ten cents or ninety cents cheaper."

"You have to say that you can buy it for 100 yuan, otherwise I can't do this business."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Fat Miao'er smiled sweetly, took out her purse and counted ninety pieces and handed it to the old man.

The old man took the copper plate and looked at Fat Miaoer in surprise. He didn't expect that a five or six-year-old child would have so much money.

Probably the family is in good condition.

No wonder he is so fat.

The old man smiled. He took back his mood, plated the firecrackers and handed them to Li Xiaodao, and told him to pay attention to moisture prevention, shock prevention and other matters.

After buying firecrackers, Fat Miao'er happily ran towards Liu Ye'er and Wei Shu.

At this time, the two were buying red paper and preparing to take it back to cut some window flowers, and write the remaining couplets and the characters "Fu".

After paying the money, several people bought some chicken, fish, meat, and other items needed for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This is the first year the five people have spent together. It is of great significance and must be lived.

After two hours, the donkey cart was filled with full loads, leaving only seven people sitting.

After a simple meal at the bun shop, the seven people greeted Wu Yong and drove the donkey cart back to Dashi Village.

On the donkey cart.

After buying the New Year's goods, Chunniang felt much better and was chatting with Fang Zhu about homework.

After an hour of rushing, accompanied by the afterglow of the sun, several people returned to Dashi Village, while Fang Zhu got off the bus early at the entrance of his own village.

On this day, the five of them were exhausted. They sorted the New Year’s goods they bought. After a simple wash, the five of them went back to their houses.

On the kang in the west room, Liu Yeer covered the quilt for Fat Miaoer and asked softly: "Fat Miaoer, can your Aunt Wu's illness be cured?"

"Definitely!"

Fat Miaoer answered confidently, turned her head and fell asleep beautifully.

Hearing this, Liu Yeer thought to herself and blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep slowly.

...

The next morning.

Fat Miao'er had breakfast, and Li Hongzao ran over with a big basket and a rope.

"Fat Meow, let's go and catch sparrows!"

Catch sparrows?

Fat Miao'er's eyes lit up, and she was free at home.

The twelfth lunar month is the coldest time in winter, and it is very difficult for sparrows to find food due to heavy snow.

They are cold and hungry, and it is the best time for children to catch them.

Fat Miao'er dressed neatly, put two more handfuls of cornmeal, walked out of the main hall, and entered the warehouse.

Zhou Silang, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, met him and asked, "Hongzao, what are you doing?"

"Go to the threshing farm to catch sparrows."

Li Hongzao raised the big basket and rope in his hand.

"I'll go, too."

As he said that, Zhou Silang stood up, ran out of the yard and went home to get things.

Xiao Hei and Erdan looked at each other, stood up and ran out of the yard.

Only Qian Dazhuang was unmoved and still stole his horse in a regular manner.

Fat Miao'er came out of the warehouse, holding a broken basket and rope in her hand, and looked at Qian Dazhuang, who was left in the yard, and her eyes showed a little appreciation.

Only those who are persistent and resilient can succeed, and hard work is a necessary condition for success.
