Girls of the Qing family are short of money

Chapter 21 Going to the City with Grandma

After this incident, Qinghua didn't go to the city for a long time, and she didn't deal with the pancakes anymore, and now she has enough money to do it with five liang of silver in her pocket. She would teach Tian Shan and Wu Wan their homework if she had nothing to do, or else she would just talk to Qingxin The two were busy making the dress.

Time is not urgent, Qing Hua wanted to earn a business selling stitches, so she asked Qing Xin to sew thinner, and she also took a torch to iron the interlayer cloth and light gauze, and ironed the soft material neatly. Pleated, this can make Qingxin sew better, and this dress gives people a different feeling, more exquisite.

When she was free, Qing Hua played with the scraps of fabric that Qingxin had cut, gesticulating there to think of something new, but Qingxin didn’t allow her to touch those scraps of gauze, saying they were too expensive, and only let her play with other fabrics. .

The weather is fine today, and Wu Luo's legs are still hurting, but he was a little impatient when the snow was about to fall, so he said to his wife, "Why don't I sell some in the city?"

Aunt Wu was still busy, so she just gave her a look, "No."

Wu Luo's other good leg shook on the ground a little impatiently, and he really couldn't take it easy, "You're too busy, I'm going to the city, and I'm going to buy some things for the house. It should also be dealt with.”

Although the family is now earning money, Wu Luo just can't take time off, thinking that Aunt Wu has to take care of other things when she's busy, and as a wife, she can't sit still.

Seeing that her grandma wanted to go out, Wu Wan said in a crisp voice, "Grandma, I will go with grandma, and I will help grandma."

Aunt Wu made Wu Wan laugh and said, "How can you, a little girl, help?"

Wu Wan puffed out her small chest, and said with great air, "I can count, and those who can collect money for grandma will not be wrong! I can also write big characters, and write a few big characters for grandma to attract guests! I will also take good care of grandma."

Wu Wan knows quite a few now, and she is so proud of her childlike words. Wu Luo looked at her little girl with joy in her heart, and said along the way, "I also brought Wu Wan to make a new jacket along the way, and the old one is not good. It’s shirting, buy a bigger one, and add some cotton.”

Cotton is not cheap, but Wu Wan is too small to use much. Aunt Wu agreed after thinking about it, but she will not give Wu Luo too many pancakes, only 20 yuan, in case she wants to sell them and walk too much, and her foot injury will aggravate "No, just sell these few, and I will teach you to buy the money after selling them."

Aunt Wu didn't know the price of goods in Jiuhong City, so she took another [-] Wen to Wu Luo, fearing that she would lose face if she didn't have enough money.

Wu Luo then took Wu Wan out, and Aunt Wu said to Tian Zhen, "You will keep an eye on Aunt Wu and Wan'er for me when you go out this time. One injured and the other insist on going out, so I have to ask you to watch more."

Tian Zhen nodded in agreement, and let Wu Luo not have to carry the pole by herself, and put the pancakes on her stall to take with her.

It was the first time Wu Wan went to the city, she was so curious, she looked here and there, but she was very obedient and didn't dare to run around. She grabbed Wu Luo's clothes with one hand and hawked with her tender voice.

Wu Luo stopped her with a smile, because she was afraid that Wu Wan's voice would be broken when she was young, so she only asked her to help wrap the cake, and gave her a piece to eat.

The two of them didn't go far, when Tian Zhen ordered them to sell cakes at the corner of the street. There was a stone pier on the side of the street where Wu Luo could sit and rest, but he was yelling loudly to sell cakes.

Wu Wan carefully ate the pancakes. She enjoyed eating the ghee and butter, and even broke a piece into Wu Luo's mouth for her to eat. After eating, she saw that there were still pancakes left, so she squatted on the ground, Scribble and write on the bluestone ground with a stone. The stone in hand is softer than the bluestone road, leaving a layer of faint traces of stone powder.

Yan Yu happened to pass by here. Recently, there are more and more thousand-layer oil cakes in the city. At noon, people in the streets and alleys can smell the overbearing aroma of oil.

She didn't plan to buy it, because there are often many people queuing at this time, Yan Yu doesn't like snacks, and often goes to restaurants to eat at noon.

Passing by the entrance of the alley, she saw a little girl, Moyue, who was only five or six years old. She looked so cute. She squatted there and looked like a ball. Incomparable.

I didn't think much about it, but when Yan Yu passed by, he took a second look and stopped in his tracks.

Wu Wan happened to finish the last stroke, and the four characters "thousand-layer oil cake" were neatly listed on the ground.

The handwriting was a bit jerky and delicate, but it was indeed a mistake in the four big characters. Yan Yu was very surprised, Wu Wan had already run back to Wu Luo and said happily, "Grandma, I wrote you pancakes to invite guests, look Am I writing well?"

How could Wu Luo know how to read? He just kept smiling and said to Mimi, "Okay, well, the writing is really good!"

Yan Yu looked at those two people, an elderly lady with a lame leg, and a young girl, both of them were poorly dressed, with patches all over their bodies, they looked like poor families, young but Can you write?This, how is this possible?

"Little girl, this word..." Yan Yu couldn't help asking, "Have you ever learned Chinese characters?"

Yan Yuchang's ice and snow are proud, today is good, and the white robe is surrounded by a soft vest, Wu Wan took a step back nervously and hid behind Wu Luo, her eyes timidly whispered "Xi, Xi .”

Yan Yu nodded and asked again, "Which gentleman is it?"

Wu Wan blinked a pair of round and pure eyes and said, "It's sir."

After all, Wu Luo is an adult who knows how to be on guard, and smiled back, "It's a gentleman from our village, and he doesn't teach much, just a few words."

Although Wu Luo said so, Yan Yu knew from Wu Wan's handwriting that she knew a lot, so she imagined a university scholar who lived in a small village. That gentleman's heart of admiration was that he was tired of the stalking of the capital at the beginning, so he was transferred to Jiuhong City, and he respected the teaching of not caring about the poor and the noble.

Knowing that Wu Luo didn't want to talk about it, she stopped asking, Wu Wan asked in a low voice, "Do you buy cakes? A piece of twelve cents, very fragrant."

Yan Yu's affection for the great scholar was transferred to the little boy in front of him, Yan Yu looked at the remaining cakes and asked, "How many pieces are left? I bought them all."

Wu Luo happily calculated for her, "It's six yuan in total, thank you, Ma'am!"

Wu Wan also shook her head happily, "I want seventy coins."

Yan Yu paused for a moment while holding the money, and corrected Wu Wan in a low voice, "Six yuan, it's 72 yuan." But it's not Wu Wan's fault, it's good that the little boy can be counted so close in such a short time up.

But Wu Wan said, "That's right, our three yuan is only thirty-five cents. If you buy it for six yuan, you can get a two-cent discount." She remembered the price Aunt Wu told her.

To be cautious, she flicked her little hands in the air. This is an action she only had after learning the abacus. She mentally counted up and down for a while before nodding "That's right!"

Yan Yu watched from the sidelines, never thinking that the bachelor taught the children in the village even arithmetic, he really had nothing to hold back, even the children in her school only learned poetry and calligraphy, Yan Yu never thought about it Teaching the children arithmetic, he immediately respected the anonymous bachelor even more, took out a bunch of money and handed it to Wu Luo.

For a whole hundred coins, Wu Luo said, "That's a lot!" He said, and wanted to give her the change.

But Yan Yu said, "Let's take the ones that are too much, and treat them as New Year's money for this kid." She likes reading children, Wu Wan sees that she has to write big characters at a young age, she is a good seed.

As for the six cakes, she took them back to the school and distributed them to the children, and she only kept one piece for herself.
