Farmer’s Blessed Girl
Chapter 13 Not enough money
When Feng came over with a bowl of boiled eggs, a group of children had already finished the candy, and were surrounding Man Bao looking at her four cents.
Feng shi was still stunned when he saw the money, and asked, "Little aunt, where did you get the money?"
Man Bao raised his head proudly, "We earned it ourselves, we earned it by selling sugar."
Feng Shi thought it was the candy that her husband bought for Man Bao before, and said helplessly: "Why don't you eat it, but sell it instead, it's for your health."
Every time Tuesday Lang came to the market, he would buy a penny of candy when he went back, and only took one out for the children to turn into sugar water to drink, and the remaining four would be full of treasures.
It's not that they dote on their treasures and don't hurt the children.
It was a sentence that the doctor said when Man Bao was a child, "This child has a weak spleen and stomach, shortness of breath and fatigue, eat more eggs and honey."
At that time, the family situation was not very good. Man Bao was only a few months old and could not eat the bitter concoction, so he could only pour egg water and honey water.
That honey was bought by Lao Zhoutou after begging several nearby villages to spend a lot of money. That thing is hard to find, rare, and extremely expensive.
Later, the doctor said, "Without honey, maltose is also fine. They all belong to the lung meridian and strengthen the spleen and stomach."
It can be said that Man Bao can grow so big and so white and fat, and the eggs and sugar at home are particularly credited.
Also because Manbao has been getting healthier in the past two years, the Zhou family felt that the doctor's words were really right. They couldn't give Manbao other good things, but the eggs were laid by their own chickens, and there was still money to buy sugar.
One episode for three days, she can get four candies every time she goes to the market, so in Man Bao's heart, she is really not short of candy, so that when Keke and her first officially met and used candy to bribe her, she Not very buying.
Later, she ate the candy given by Keke, but she also disliked it too sweet, and finally shared a little for her nephews and nieces as before.
Seeing that their eyes narrowed with joy, Man Bao became good friends with Keke who suddenly appeared.
Manbao is not short of sugar, because in addition to the ones bought at home, Keke also rewards her from time to time, but Feng doesn't know.
She glared at Wuwu Lang and Saturday Lang who didn't know how to persuade them, and handed the bowl to Man Bao, "You're hungry, the second sister-in-law boiled eggs for you, eat them quickly."
Man Bao held a bowl and asked Feng Shi first, "Second sister-in-law, you can take a bite too, you didn't eat the cake just now."
Feng Shi smiled and pushed back: "I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat with them when your eldest brother and second brother come back."
Man Bao has no doubts, because she also likes to eat with her family. Hey, why did she eat the cake without waiting for the eldest brother and the second brother?
Seems a little sorry for them.
Man Bao thought, and gave the eggs to the big head and them.
Everyone shook their heads and gave them candy, but they didn't want to eat eggs. Although they wanted to eat them, they knew that the eggs were not eggs, but medicine for my aunt.
Man Bao ate all the eggs, and then asked Feng to take her to buy medicine for her mother.
Feng rubbed her head and smiled: "Second sister-in-law has no money on her, we will go when your elder brother and the others come back."
Man Bao handed over the handkerchief and said, "I have money!"
Feng sighed, "That's not enough."
My mother-in-law takes medicine all the year round, but she is actually taking the cheapest medicine. It can only cure the symptoms but not the root cause. She can only take care of it slowly.
There are two prescriptions that Qian often drinks. One can be bought from a doctor in Dali Village. This is the only doctor in the four nearby villages. Except for some of their medicines, they come from pharmacies, and most of them come from doctors. Harvested from the mountain.
Buying from him, a pair of medicine only costs eight cents, and their family has already saved a lot of money. A pair of medicine will be fried four times, which is Qian's medicine for two days.
If Qian's condition worsened, he could only go to the pharmacy in the county town to buy another prescription medicine. There was a more expensive medicine on that medicine, and it cost twenty cents a pair.
Feng really has no money. The people who come to buy baskets and dustpans today are all bartering, but they have received a lot of eggs and food, but they have no money.
No way, everyone could only squat behind the booth and wait for Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang to come back.
After noon, Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Langcai pushed the cart back with unsightly expressions, and the two large bags of grain were still on the cart.
Feng Shi was startled, trotted forward to help push the car over, and asked, "Why didn't it sell?"
On Tuesday, Lang said with an ugly face: "The price is too cheap, only eight cents per bucket of grain."
Feng shi couldn't help but shout, "Only eight wen? Wasn't it ten before?"
Zhou Dalang squatted on the ground and said, "The grain has come down. This year's harvest is not bad. It is said that there is no shortage of grain in the grain shop."
They are all from the villages. Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang talked with each other for a long time, but they could not raise the price. The family was really short of money. The brothers were not willing to sell the grain so cheaply, so they pulled it again. return.
Feng shi couldn't help blushing, "What should I do then?"
On Tuesday, Lang squatted on the ground for a long time and said, "Someone wants to change hemp cloth at the market. We can exchange grain for cotton cloth for shoes, but mother's medicine must be bought with money. , the food still has to be sold, no, we will go to the county town tomorrow to see, maybe it will be better than the market price."
Man Bao immediately took out his four cents, "Big brother, second brother, I have money!"
Seeing the four coins, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang were stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Sell candy!"
Zhou Dalang took it, sighed and said, "I still lack four cents."
Man Bao wondered if she had to peel 20 more candies and sell them, and Tuesday Lang had already stood up and said, "I'll take something and exchange it with someone."
On Tuesday, Lang had many acquaintances in the market. He took some from the wheat harvested by Feng's family, and left after a few ounces.
It didn't take long for him to come back with five pennies.
Zhou Dalang was very curious, "Who did you exchange with?"
Everyone came to the village market for very little money.
"I exchanged it with Pharaoh who sells sugar. He uses wheat to make sugar. I sold it to him at full price."
Zhou Dalang breathed a sigh of relief and handed him the money from Manbao.
On Tuesday, Lang used the money to buy a pair of medicines, and the number of people in the market began to decrease, and everyone was in no mood to set up stalls anymore. Everyone is home.
The cloth was handed over to the old lady, who assigned the task to cut the clothes, while Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang went to talk to the old Zhoutou.
Man Bao stepped in and followed behind.
When Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang saw her walking behind their hands behind their hands like their father, they couldn't help sweating a bit. They simply carried her to their lap, and then reported to the old Zhoutou about the situation in the market.
Hearing that the grain could not be sold for a price, Lao Zhoutou wanted to smoke again.
He sighed and said, "I need some cash at home, not to mention that your mother needs to take medicine, do you occasionally need it urgently?"
On Tuesday, Lang also nodded, "During this period of time, I went to the market and accumulated a lot of eggs, and I had to get them in the county town."
Although there are occasional people buying eggs at the Dali Village Market, most of them are exchanged for grain. In the end, on Tuesday, Lang had to sell the grain to a grain shop to make money.
Therefore, on Tuesday, Lang rarely sells eggs at the market, but he takes them to the county seat, where eggs are better sold than grain.
Old Zhou nodded, rubbed his old smoking gun and said, "The day after tomorrow, you two will follow me to the school tomorrow."
Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang should go.
Only then did Man Bao express his opinion, "Father, I'm going to the county too."
The editor likes you to praise her, in fact, I also like you to praise me
