Smallholder Farmer

Chapter 161 Meeting an old friend on a distant journey

ps: This is the third change, the pink ticket is 100 plus change, thank you everyone!

On the way, Yuyue looked at the hard chair and had a new idea, and decided to buy some cotton to make a soft chair cushion, which was obviously necessary.

"Young master, I have been the waiter of this woodware shop for three or four years. This is the first time I have met you, a customer who only bought one chair!"

"Is it weird?"

Yuyue walked and watched, wanting to find a cloth shop: "Xiao Er, is there any cotton for sale around here?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know what is the use of the young master?"

The three words "little son" reminded Yuyue that I am a man now, young master! Buying a pile of cotton is not justified!

"Buy it to make a mat!"

"Can you still make cushions? What are you trying to do? Believe me, I'll take you there. My sister works in a cloth shop in front. Her shop has finished clothes, finished cushions, finished bedspreads and so on. Handwork is amazing. Fine!"

There are ready-made ones and bad ones. Yuyue is a person who prefers to save trouble in his bones. The two of them turned a corner and arrived at an embroidery shop, a big embroidery shop with fabrics. Compared with her small chair, Yuyue Bought a nice mattress.

Because it's for men, naturally I bought an Eagle Picture, not to mention how much I don't like it in Yuyue's heart, but there is no way, who told you that you are a boy? Yuyue was struggling, but she heard a familiar voice in the room separated by the curtain, talking about something, and the voice became louder because of anxiety!

Yuhuan? The world is so big that it can't accommodate two girls passing by? The person Yuyue wants to see the last time in her life is not Zhenniang but Grandma Eight and her family.

"Little girl. It's not that I'm unreasonable. Think about it, every time you take away the embroidery work, it always gets dirty. I forgive you time and time again, but I can't afford to pay for this book!" A gentle but sure tone When Yuyue heard this voice, she was in the same tune as Miejue Granny (a female professor at Xiaoqian University, who is accepted as a student every year, if not 100, or 80. What she teaches is a compulsory course). The one and only Lord.

"Shopkeeper, you can do me a favor, give me this last chance, this is really careless, dripping lamp oil!"

"I can't. This is your wages, and this is the deposit. You can take it!" The lady shopkeeper insisted.

"What's going on?" Yuyue understood a little bit, but she was sympathetic. Yuyue was doing embroidery for money, and of course she had done it before. But later I heard that she has been embroidering dowry all the time. How difficult is life? Dozens of taels of silver that my father respected. Didn't get the point? Then I asked the younger sister.

"Hey, these are not the refugees fleeing famine in the north. The shopkeeper is kind-hearted, so he does the work for them. As a result, the work is often dirty. This is the fifth time. It's really a loss!" Xiaoer's sister said.

"Where do these refugees live?"

"Beside the west gate, a shed along the city wall. They all live there!"

"The porridge shed is located in Ximen?"

"No, this is the county lord's rule. The refugees all go to the west. It's convenient to give porridge and medicine!"

Yuyue didn't make a sound, and didn't want Yuhuan to know that she was here, so she used the excuse to pick up something, and she found a good thing, a set of blouse, made of serious silk and satin, a summer shirt, and wearing an apron cap.

"Hey, why are you hanging out your summer dress at this time?"

"What, this is a model that was handed down from the south last year. It was made for the lady of the magistrate's family. In the end, the lady said that she wanted pomegranate flowers, and the ones embroidered with peonies came out more. The price was high, and they have not been sold. Lose!"

Yuyue took a look. When it was hot, she would definitely be able to wear it. It's about the same length and size!

"How much silver, I'll buy it and give it to my cousin!"

"Young master, it's the most cost-effective to buy summer clothes in winter. It only costs ten taels of silver. Look at the workmanship, look at this middle coat! This coat, this skirt!"

The shopkeeper dismissed Yuhuan, then lifted the curtain and walked out. After taking over the conversation, he was full of praise. Yuyue knew the price, if it was expensive in the current season, let alone it was out of season, she shook her head. The embroidered Yuhuan went through the side door, so Yuyue bought two of these purses, carrying the cushions, and prepared to take Xiao Er back to the car factory.

"Five taels, how about five taels, young master!" The shopkeeper was heartbroken, and offered a reserve price. Originally, this dress can only be worn by little girls, so it is impossible for someone who is willing to pay money to make a dowry for the girl. I bought the clothes worn by this ten-year-old girl, and they have been hanging here for almost half a year, and the year is not good, so I just sell them!

Yuyue stopped her feet, handed over five taels of silver, and didn't say anything more! This is the second time the old lady Juejue said, which is equivalent to the last warning, if you think about it, you have to pass it, otherwise...it is the same here, if you want to buy it, you have to buy it, Yuyue likes this suit, this peony is really beautifully embroidered. I have beautiful shirts to wear next year.

"It's really for sale, young master, alas, we are trying to sell the goods quickly!" The shopkeeper folded the dress and wrapped it up, and whispered to show that he had indeed lost a lot of money.

Yuyue carried the dress, and Xiao Er carried the chair and cushions to the car factory. After receiving the reward, Xiao Er went back to the shop. The boss of the car factory had already arranged for the master to install the awning and the small hanging ladder , I was about to wait for the chair to come, so I saw how it was installed!

"Hey, this chair looks good and solid!" Yuyue's eyes were praised by the shopkeeper, and she was very happy to get a compliment!

After making two gestures, he sawed off the legs of the chair, and used four wooden sleeves to pull it under, and then fixed it to the side of the wheel. Sure enough, the length of the sawed leg was not what Yu Yue imagined, and then the small hanging ladder was installed and fixed, it's simple! The same effect as imagined!

Yuyue paid her wages and drove out of Nancheng. I was still a little curious after thinking about it, so I stopped under a tree on the side of the road, and entered the space without seeing anyone. In the space, drive towards the west gate.

I don't know where the eighth grandma's family will live. The thatched huts along the road make Yuyue unimaginable, and she walks with confidence! I'm going to go to Ximen for a turn, just take a look if you can see it! It's also a lively event, no, it's not that friends don't get together, this old saying is too predictable. When Yuyue saw the eighth grandma, she probably didn't see it, but heard it first, and then saw it later. The eighth grandma's always loud and clear voice showed her existence, and the eighth grandpa was still holding the cigarette bag that he didn't leave his mouth very often. Sitting at the edge of a shack with a height of one person, smoking a cigarette in a muffled voice, Mrs. Chen was scolded bloody for some reason, and her son and daughter around her scolded her, especially Yuzhen, who was no more than two years old. The three-year-old baby, the three of them were scolded to shame, Yuyue suddenly had an epiphany, is the eighth grandmother sick, there is a kind of disease called schizophrenia?

Yuyue drove by in a carriage, and saw Mrs. Chen holding the two babies, crying silently. With Yuyue's understanding and mastery of the rhythm of the eighth grandma's cursing, she quickly figured out that this Yuzhen had eaten too much Things, not only ate the whole bowl of porridge that was coming, but also Qianwu's share, the eighth grandma cursed, and wanted Chen to sell Yuzhen! In Ba***'s original words, it would be good to eat it with two liters of Baogu noodles! Isn't it just two bowls of porridge, but Yuyue has seen a spoon for serving porridge. A spoonful is almost a large flat bowl of porridge, and one spoonful per person. You don't give one bowl when you serve a sea bowl, but you also get a bowl when you serve a middle bowl . For a two-year-old baby, eating two flat bowls of porridge is too much,

There are more and more people watching the fun, and the rhythm of Eighth Grandma's swearing is also accelerating. Yuyue listened with confidence and boldness, and slowly understood, this porridge feeling, Eighth Grandma has redistributed it?

Chen sobbed and couldn't figure it out, and Yuyue couldn't figure it out either, the family is separated, why are you running away together? Yuyue didn't know that the eighth grandma owed the harvest this year, but no matter what, the four sons had to pay the filial silver that they had to pay. If not, just be filial by their parents! The Chen family has no private money, and there is no way to hand over the filial money this year, so they will accompany their parents in this house to do their filial piety! Wen and Ye paid money and left separately. Qian Wu wanted to save money, but he really didn't dare to hand over all the money he had on him, so he had to go with the eighth grandma, and Qian Gong, Not to mention, I must follow my mother!

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Yuyue knew that the Eighth Grandma was still as powerful as before, so she sighed in her heart for Mrs. Chen, shook the reins, and left! Leaving this family behind, the scolding was turned upside down. Everyone has their own debts, we can't control them! When she was about to leave the resettlement area for the victims in Ximen, Yuyue caught a glimpse of Yuhuan, why, didn't they live together? Pausing for a while, I saw Yuhuan with her head down, busy washing clothes in her hands, looking at the water on the stove from time to time, her hair a little loose, really capable! Yuyue shook the reins slightly and walked over, Yuhuan raised her head inadvertently, stared at the boots on Yuyue's feet, looked up at Yuyue again, and shook her head slightly.

Meeting the eighth grandma's family here also gave Yuyue a new understanding of the flow of people fleeing from famine, where life does not meet each other, and along the way, she kept her eyes sharp, looking at the people along the road, maybe there will be acquaintances Yes, the bamboo hat is on the head, so it doesn't leave, it's a bit of a cover, and it's safer.

All the way south, she didn't meet her old friend again, and Yuyue was relieved. She didn't expect that just because she didn't meet her, didn't mean her brother didn't meet either.

Jinyan said that now that he has money, he felt more at ease, so he discussed it with Uncle Gang. He often goes to the horse market to buy horses and carriages. Uncle Gang naturally knows why he should go to see it often. You are in a hurry to buy. Well, it’s easy to buy and expensive, and there may not be a suitable one! When he was free, he went to the mule and horse market. During this journey, Uncle Gang also knew what must be on the carriage! I looked at the car more carefully, and even wanted to order a car, because it was estimated that it would take more than two months to start again, and there was no rush to buy a horse.
