Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 13 Not enough money

   When Feng brought a bowl of boiled eggs, a group of children had eaten up the sugar early, and they were looking at Man Bao for her four cents.

  Feng was stunned when he saw the money, and asked: "Sister, where did you get the money?"

  Man Bao proudly raised his head, "We earn it ourselves, and sell sugar."

  Feng thought it was the candy that her husband bought for Man Bao before, and said helplessly, “Why didn’t you eat it, but sold it instead, it’s for your health.”

  Every time Lang came to the market on Tuesday, he would buy a penny of candy when he went back. He only took out one to give the children a drink, and the remaining four would be full of treasures.

  It's not that they are so pampered with treasures, and then don't hurt the children.

  It is a sentence that the doctor Man Bao said when he was young, "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 he couldn't eat bitter concoction, so he could only pour egg water and honey water.

  The honey was bought by Lao Zhoutou with a lot of money in nearby villages. It is hard to find, rare, and extremely expensive.

  Later, the doctor said, "There is no honey, maltose can be used, it is all in the lung meridian, which invigorates the spleen and stomach."

  It can be said that Manbao can grow so big and grow so white and fat. The eggs and sugar in the family are particularly credited.

  Because Manbao has been getting healthier in the past two years, the Zhou family thinks that the doctor’s words are really right. They can’t give Manbao other good things, but the eggs are made from their own chickens, and there is still money for buying sugar.

One episode for three days, every time she goes to the market, she can get four candies, so in Man Bao’s heart, she really doesn’t lack candies, so that when Keke and her formally met for the first time, she bought her with candies. Not a big buy.

  Later, she ate the sweets given by Keke. She still thought it was too sweet. Finally, she shared a little bit with her nephews and nieces as before.

  Seeing that they were so happy that their eyes were closed, Man Bao became good friends with the sudden appearance of Ke Ke.

  Manbao is not short of sugar, because in addition to what she buys at home, Keke also rewards her from time to time, but Feng doesn’t know.

  She glared at Wuri Lang and Zhou Lang who didn’t know the advice, and handed the bowl to Man Bao, “I’m hungry. Ersao has boiled eggs for you. You can eat it quickly.”

  Man Bao holds the bowl and invites Feng first, "Second Sister-in-law, you can take a bite too, you didn’t eat the cake just now."

  Feng pushed back with a smile: "I'm not hungry yet, I will eat with them when your eldest brother and second elder brother come back."

  Manbao has no doubt, because she also likes to eat with her family, hey, why did she eat biscuits without waiting for the eldest brother and the second brother?

  It seems to be a little sorry for them.

  Man Bao thought, while giving the eggs to Datou.

  Everyone shook their heads and gave them sweets, but they didn’t eat eggs. Although they wanted to eat them, they knew that this egg was not an egg for my sister, but a medicine.

  Man Bao ate all the eggs, and then asked Feng to take her to buy medicine for her mother.

  Feng touched her head and smiled: "Second sister-in-law doesn't have any money with him. We will go when your eldest brother and them come back."

  Man Bao handed over his handkerchief and said, "I have money!"

Feng sighed, "This is not enough."

  My mother-in-law takes medicine all the year round, but in fact, she takes the cheapest medicine. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only be raised slowly. I don’t know how much it will cost to cure it.

There are two prescriptions that Qian often drank. One can be bought from the doctor in Dali Village. This is the only doctor in the four nearby villages. Except for some of the medicines in their family, they come from the drugstore, and most of them are from the doctor. Picked from the mountain.

  Buy it from him. A pair of medicine only costs eight cents. Their family is already very economical. A pair of medicine will be decocted four times, which is Qian’s two-day medicine.

  If Qian’s condition worsens, he can only go to the drug store in the county to buy another prescription medicine. There is a more expensive medicine on that medicine, and it costs 20 cents a pair.

  Feng really didn't have any money. The people who came to buy baskets and dustpans today bartered things. They collected a lot of eggs and grain, and they didn't have any money.

  There is no way, everyone can only squat behind the booth and wait for Zhou Dalang and Tue Lang to return.

  It has been past noon, Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Langcai pushed the car back with ugly faces, and the two big bags of grain in the car were still there.

  Feng was surprised, trotting forward to help push the car over, and asked: "Why didn't it sell?"

  Tuesday Lang said with an ugly face: "The price is too cheap. You can only pay for it."

  Feng couldn’t help shouting loudly, “I only have eight texts? Wasn’t it ten texts before?”

   Zhou Dalang squatted on the ground and said: "The grain has come down, and the harvest this year is not bad. It is said that the grain shop is not short of grain."

They are all from the villagers. Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang talked to each other for a long time, but they failed to raise the price. The family was really short of money. The brothers were not willing to sell the valley so cheaply, so they pulled it again. return.

  Feng couldn't help but red eyes, "What should I do?"

On Tuesday Lang squatted on the ground for a long time and said, "Someone at the market wants to change hemp cloth. We can change it with grain. The cotton cloth for shoes can also be exchanged with grain, but the mother’s medicine must be bought with money. , The food still has to be sold, no, we will go to the county to see it tomorrow, maybe it can be better than the price in the market."

  Man Bao immediately took out his four cents again, "Big Brother, 2nd Brother, I have money!"

   Seeing these four pennies, Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang were taken aback and asked: "Where did you come from?"

   "Sell sugar!"

   Zhou Dalang took it, and sighed: "I still lack four pennies."

  Man Bao wondered if she had to peel another twenty candies and sell them. On Tuesday Lang had already got up and said, "I'll take things and exchange them with others."

  Tuesday Lang had many acquaintances in the market. He picked up some of the wheat harvested by Feng's family, and left after a few catties.

  It didn’t take long for him to take five cents back.

   Zhou Dalang was very curious, "Who did you trade with?"

  Everyone comes to the market in this village and spends very little money.

   "Exchange it with the sugar seller. He uses wheat to make sugar. I sold it to him at the regular price."

   Zhou Dalang breathed a sigh of relief, and handed him Man Bao’s money.

On Tuesday Lang used the money to buy a medicine. The number of people in the market began to decrease. Everyone didn’t want to set up a stall anymore. Everyone went home.

  Bou was handed over to the old lady, and she assigned the task to go down to cut the clothes, and Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang went to talk to Lao Zhoutou.

  Man Bao followed behind and went in.

  Zhou Dalang and Tue Lang saw her walking behind them with their hands on their backs like their father, they couldn't help but sweat, and they simply hugged her on their laps, and then reported to Lao Zhoutou about the market situation.

  I heard that food is not sold at a price, and Lao Zhoutou wants to smoke again.

  He sighed, "I need some cash at home, not to mention that your mother needs to take medicine. Do you occasionally need it?"

  Tuesday Lang also nodded, "During this time I went to the market and accumulated a lot of eggs, and I had to get it in the county for shots."

  Although people occasionally buy eggs at the Dali Village Market, most of them are exchanged for grain. Finally, on Tuesday, Lang had to sell the grain to the grain shop to make money.

  So Lang seldom sells eggs at the market on Tuesday, he always takes them to the county town, where the eggs are better to sell than grain.

  Lao Zhou nodded, rubbing his old pipe and said: "The day after tomorrow, you two will follow me to bring Manbao to the school."

  Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang should play.

  Man Bao then expressed his opinion, "Father, I also want to go to the county seat."

  　 editor likes you to praise her, in fact, I also like you to praise me
