From farming to business

Carpenter Qin's son was named Qin Shan, a dark-skinned man in his thirties, and on weekdays, besides helping his father with carpentry work, he drove a bullock cart to and from town, and he collected three copper coins, which was not expensive.

When Yu Feng arrived at the entrance of the village, the other party was already waiting beside the bullock cart. Besides him, there were some villagers who were going to the town, some of whom he had met and some of whom he hadn't.

"Hey, isn't this Yu boy, what's the matter, you want to go to town too?"

As soon as he approached, the aunt who had met a few times before called for someone, beckoned to him and motioned him enthusiastically to come over.

There were a few people standing beside the other party, besides the older aunts, there were also young girls. He was a little embarrassed to join the crowd of women, but he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to pull the corners of his mouth and move closer. "Hello, aunts."

He was handsome and courteous to others, and the elders responded with smiles on their faces, but the girls were too shy to start a conversation with him, and just quietly raised their eyes to look at him.

"I've heard that brother Yu's body has recovered in recent days. Seeing him today, he is really different from before. He is much more energetic."

The boy's voice that suddenly came to his ears made Yu Feng pause for a moment, and then he looked over and found that there was a Shuang'er standing among the girls, a Shuang'er who could tell that he was not a boy even if he couldn't see the red seal behind his ear .

It's really a bit too... Damn, besides some too bright clothes, there seems to be a little makeup on her beautiful face, her lips are a little unnaturally rosy, and her eyebrows are neatly trimmed. Can tell him from the girls.

Yu Feng raised his hand and touched his nose with a slight smile, but he didn't respond. Su Yongyue was the one who had the most contact with him. He wore gray clothes all day long and had a temper like a kid. Even the Su Cao he had met before was just delicate. Some, this is... the first time I see you.

In comparison... Brother Yongyue looks more comfortable. Although he knows that Shuang'er's behavior is considered normal here and is more attractive to men, but in the army for so many years, he has come into contact with very masculine soldiers. , he is still not used to it.

Li Liu didn't find it strange at all that he was looking at him, and felt a little proud in his heart. He was good-looking since he was a child, and the boys usually looked at him more often, and he was used to their gaze.

This person surnamed Yu was really good-looking as everyone talked about, but it was a pity that he was a poor ghost, and his bones looked thin and weak, so what's the use of having a superficial appearance.

Thinking of the recent rumors in the village, he curled his lips in disdain, that tomboy Su Yongyue was afraid that he would not be able to get married, so he hooked up with this man desperately.

But with his tough appearance, I'm afraid people still look down on him. Look, he is still so fascinated by his size that he can't look away.

But he is destined to be lovesick, and he has already booked a good husband's house a few days ago, which is a well-known and wealthy family in the neighboring village. , and someone like Su Yongyue... Hey, no one wants to be a favorite.

But if someone belongs to someone else, it doesn't mean that I can't be disgusted with that guy. Who let him hold his collar against the edge of the well last time, which made him feel ashamed.

Thinking of this, he slightly raised his eyes and showed a bright smile, he gave the tall man a look with a shy look, and lightly wrapped his fingers around the hair hanging on his chest.

His ambiguous expression immediately made Yu Feng's eyes widen slightly, as if he had seen a ghost, his pupils trembled and he quickly looked away, this pair may mean something serious to him, but please don't , he is a very pure straight man, only interested in girls.

Yu Feng, who was in a hurry to avoid his gaze, didn't know that in Li Liu's eyes, his flustered expression could turn into a bewildered feeling caught by his sweetheart, and he raised his hand to cover his lips and let out a chuckle.

Because of this small situation, Yu Feng didn't want to stay here any longer, so he casually responded to a few questions, and then quickly slipped to the other side where the men stood, feeling cold sweat all over his body when he stood still.

When everyone arrived, Qin Shan arranged for them to get into the bullock cart. After all, men and women had to avoid suspicion, and sat on both sides separately, where they had to be next to each other due to constraints, separated by an older aunt.

Yu Feng sat at the rear of the car on the man's side, the farthest position from the pair just now. He didn't have any prejudice against him, but he always felt uncomfortable.

The ox cart drove swayingly for a while, and the outline of the village gradually faded away, and the voices of aunts and girls chatting in my ears, discussing which one in the town has cheap cloth and which one has good-looking rouge.

He shrank his legs to avoid kicking the ground. After all, the bullock cart was a bit short, and it was very bumpy. It was far worse than a car, and the speed was also slow.

He had asked Qin Shan before, and the other party said that it would take more than an hour to get to the town, that is, more than two hours. If he walked, it might take more than half a day.

Because it is relatively far away, people in the village don’t go there often, usually they only go there when they need something, and they come back after shopping, and they never stay for fun. money.

When Yu Feng was in the army, he rarely went out. He had no relatives, no reason, no girlfriend, and no desire to buy. Usually, even if the team gave a vacation, he would stay for training, and occasionally go out to eat something he wanted Things to see the lively streets.

But at this time, he would feel more and more lonely. Even if he walked in a bustling area with people coming and going, his heart would be empty.

Seeing that his companions bought a bunch of special products and novelties and said they would send them home, parents or wives and children all had warm smiles on their faces, of course he was envious in his heart.

As I got older, this sense of loneliness became more and more intense, so I had the idea of ​​retiring from the army. Who knew that I lost my life before I had time to enjoy life, and came here in an unimaginable way.

But it's also very good. It can give him the opportunity to experience the most ordinary life, which he hasn't had for a long time. He should also find a woman here to give him the family he wants.

"Yeah, it's here!"

The excited female voice woke up Yu Feng who was distracted. It must be the first time for the other party to come back to the town. He stretched his neck and looked into the distance, his eyes sparkling.

He followed to look over, and the tall town gate made of blue bricks appeared in his sight. He was used to seeing the simple mud houses in the village, and he couldn't help being a little dazed when he suddenly saw such a majestic building.

When the bullock cart approached the gate, its speed gradually slowed down, and it swayed past under the gate, entering another scene that seemed to be separated.

Vendors stand behind various stalls on both sides of the street, and they all introduce their products to passers-by with pleasing smiles. It feels good to listen.

Yu Feng felt that he was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. Everywhere he saw was fresh, and his eyes were not enough. He had only seen these scenes on TV before.

Qin Shan drove the car to a slightly remote place, stopped the old scalper in front of him, jumped off the shaft, and told them to wait here by himself, and they could go by themselves if they wanted to buy something.

Seeing everyone jumping out of the car one by one, Yu Feng, who was still dizzy, quickly got out of the car and moved his hands and feet along the way. The ox cart was very bumpy, and he felt that his bones were about to fall apart on the way. up.

Most of these people from the village are familiar with the town, and they know where the things they want to buy are. He dared not walk around with his eyes darkened, so he had to stop an aunt and said, "Auntie, can you Do you know where there is a shop that sells cloth and cotton?"

The one who was grabbed by him was the one who greeted him earlier. He has always been warm and easy to get along with. Hearing what he said, he directly grabbed his wrist with his backhand, "It just so happens that I also bought some fabrics and went back to make clothes for my grandson. Let's go together." go."

Of course, Yu Feng would be very happy to have someone lead the way. He doesn't know how big this town is, so it's best to follow someone when you come back.

It was only after walking for a while that he realized that the previous Shuang'er was also walking behind with an aunt, apparently also going to buy cloth, and when he saw his eyes, he smiled sweetly, which made him turn his head quickly in fright.

Seeing that man secretly looking at him again, Li Liu felt more complacent. Although he is a poor ghost with nothing to lose, he really has a good face. Such a person admires him and naturally feels happy.

The most important thing is Su Yongyue who can be angry, who would like a twin who looks like a kid every day, even such a poor and white person can't look down on him.

The town is bustling, there are many people coming and going, and you can see all kinds of more beautifully dressed twins, Yu Feng feels that he can get used to it a little bit, and do as the Romans do, he can't always look at it from the old perspective Look at these special groups of people.

Having prepared himself psychologically, he has the leisure to look around again. Several people have left the street just now. There are gradually fewer vendors on this street, and more shops are next to each other. They sell everything.

During the period, he also passed several shops with cloth, but the aunt who was walking in front of him didn't stop. Although he felt strange, he didn't ask, thinking that he probably had a shop he often visited.

This time he made a good guess. They finally stopped at the door of a shop with a simple and unpretentious look. Previously, those shops sold some expensive fabrics, and only rich people went there. They couldn't afford them. .

Yu Feng followed into the store and looked around, and saw that most of the goods on the shelves were coarse cloth, cotton and linen, and a small part of brocade, but the color looked ordinary, but he didn't know much about these.

"Boy Yu buys fabric and cotton for bedding, so he doesn't need any good fabrics. These coarse fabrics are fine, and the price is also affordable. My family usually makes some clothes and so on. It's also cut here."

The aunt dragged him to a counter and patted the cloth piled on it. People in the village didn't pay much attention to their clothes, as long as they could cover their bodies. Only children would be willing to cut a few soft cotton cloths.

The rough cloth here costs three pennies a foot, and he can make a set of quilts by cutting about ten feet. After thinking about it, Yu Feng still asked for fifteen feet. If there is more, he thinks he can make a few sets of clothes by the way. He is wearing it now. The two suits of Su Dezhi are still the same, they don't fit well.

Cotton and other things are also available in stores. They are also divided into colors and prices are somewhat different. This thing is light in weight but bulky, and it comes in a big bag when it is packed.

When the store was settling accounts, Yu Feng turned his head and glanced, the aunt leading the way was still picking cotton cloth, but the twin was kissing his mother at the place where the brocade was placed.

He watched the other party touch those silky fabrics, his eyes were full of liking, and his heart moved slightly. Since he woke up, the Su family has helped a lot. Should he also buy something in return?

If you give it to your uncle and aunt, I'm afraid they won't accept it. Su Yongyue is considered a younger brother at a young age, so it shouldn't be too much for an older brother to buy him something.

He doesn't know much about the minds of the twins, but there is always a love for beauty, and maybe he will buy some beautiful brocades and go back to cut clothes for him.

But most of the materials in this shop are fancy, and with Xiao Shuang'er's personality, he probably wouldn't like them. He frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

While he was thinking about it, the shopkeeper who had settled the bill called him, and he looked away and counted the copper coins to pay the bill, thinking about going out later to see if there were other things suitable as gifts.

Thinking of this, he directly opened his mouth to discuss with the store, put the bought cloth and cotton here first, and come back to pick it up later, the other party readily agreed.

After setting up his things, Yu Feng looked at Shuang'er who was picking materials in the distance again, and turned around to go to his aunt who was asking the shop assistant to cut cotton cloth, he really couldn't deal with that person.
