Chapter 34 The Strange Man
After hearing what Lian Xiaoman said, Lian Ze couldn't help but nodded, and said to Lian Fangzhou, "Sister, why don't you let Grandma San come with us! It would be better if Grandma San was around."
Lian Ze's idea is very simple. He and his sister are children, and it is the first time they have entered the city. What should I do if they are deceived? The third aunt is an adult. When the other party sees that there is an adult, he has to weigh it up, right?
What's more, he suddenly found that the third aunt doesn't seem to be as annoying as before, even though he still doesn't like her.
"Yes, yes! Aze is right! With me here, you won't suffer from taking care of you!" Lian Xiaoman Dalue slapped his thigh and said indiscriminately: "That's it, let's all go to bed early, tomorrow, You can go earlier!"
Lian Fangzhou was helpless, so he nodded: "It's okay, but Grandma San, I can put my words first, in front of outsiders, don't interrupt when I'm talking, and don't tear me apart when I'm done. Taiwan, and also, the person in charge is still me!"
"I know! How can I demolish your stage? The family is not..." The third auntie went back to the room after muttering.
Early the next morning, the three of them went out. Lian Fangqing and Lian Che also got up and saw them off at the door. Lian Fangqing's eyes were wide-eyed, and he didn't forget to remind his sister and brother not to forget to bring something delicious.
Yesterday, Uncle Wang gave a simple lesson. This donkey is also very docile. Lian Fangzhou sat in front of the car while Lian Ze and Grandma Sangu sat behind the car.
Grandma Sangu couldn't finish talking along the way, she was very excited, Lian Ze replied without a sentence, and even Fangzhou thought she was noisy, so she just concentrated on driving the car and didn't hear it - isn't it just a trip to the city? Look how excited she is!
Everything went well, and the two large and perfect Ganoderma lucidum were sold for 10 taels of silver. But the third aunt and Lian Ze didn't know about it. It was Lian Fangzhou who hid it with a cloth wrap and found an excuse to sell it in a pharmacy alone.
She has to keep some money at home for emergencies, Lian Ze, but she can't let the third aunt know.
Three and a half bags of mushrooms were sold in the restaurant for nearly four or two. Grandma San was very excited, as if the money belonged to her. She smiled like a flower on her face, and kept rubbing her hands and laughing. "I can't think of it! I can't think of it!"
Although Lian Ze was not as exaggerated as the third aunt's grandmother, he was very happy in his heart, and looked at Lian Fangzhou with bright eyes and smiled.
"Fangzhou, let me hold the silver, you will take it off carefully!" Grandma Sangu couldn't help but said.
It was strange that Lian Fangzhou would pay attention to her, so he smiled lightly: "Don't bother Third Aunt, I have a lot of things to buy later, so it's easier to get money."
What else did Grandma San want to say, Lian Ze said, "Grandma San, sister, let's go shopping quickly, or go back early! The sun goes down early in winter, and it will be cold on the road in the evening."
"That's right, hurry up!" Lian Fangzhou smiled.
The third aunt has no choice but to do so.
The three quickly bought things, clothing, needles and thread, blankets, blankets, quilts, oil, salt, vinegar, flour, and other odds and ends.
Lian Fangzhou went to two or three blacksmith shops to inquire about the prices of farm tools, and the farm tools at home should also be replaced; he also inquired about the prices of the four treasures of the study; and then inquired about the prices of vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry, etc. in the market—these It's what she doesn't know and needs to know.
Then, I cut two kilograms of meat and weighed two big bones; I bought a small packet of hemp candy and a packet of melon seeds to satisfy the cravings of the two little ones.
When passing by a stall selling rouge gouache silk flower hair ropes, I bought two more hair ropes and three pairs of silk velvet flowers. The hair rope is his own, the three pairs of velvet flowers are for Lian Fangqing, and the other two pairs are for Zhao Shi and Li Juan respectively.
The third aunt thought it was a pair of Lian Fangzhou sisters and her own, and she was happy in her heart, and even reached out her hand and said, "I keep mine, so I don't break it."
Lian Fangzhou was taken aback: Didn't you say that widows can't wear red and green? Can you still wear such a bright head flower?
Moreover, when did he say that this has her share? She is so old...
Grandma San was startled when she saw Lian Fangzhou, and she laughed when she saw the flower, and said, "Look at you, how old I am, and I still buy such bright colors, how can I wear them after I buy them back! I'll change to a plain one! "
As he spoke, he picked and picked at the stall, picked out a pair of willow green ones, compared them on the bun, and asked the little boss if he looked good.
Of course the little boss smiled and nodded and said it was good.
The third aunt said to Lian Fangzhou: "I want this! It doesn't matter which pair you want to return!"
Lian Fangzhou smiled and didn't return it, and didn't say anything more to Grandma Sangu. He paid an extra pair of money and left.
The third aunt only cared about the beauty in her heart, but didn't pay attention.
"Let's have something to eat and go back later!" Lian Fangzhou said at a noodle restaurant on the side of the road that looked clean.
"Okay, okay! I've been hungry for a long time!" said the third aunt, and walked into the store first.
"Sister, in fact, we can buy a few steamed buns and a bowl of noodle soup on the side of the road..." Lian Ze said.
This sensible remark made people feel sour. Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Eating a bowl of noodles doesn't cost a lot of money, my sister knows it!" Then he pulled Lian Ze in.
As soon as the siblings sat down, the third aunt said, "I just asked for a bowl of pork noodles with sauce, what do you two want?"
Lian Ze wanted plain noodles, but Lian Fangzhou held him down and asked for two bowls of sauce meat noodles.
Today is the market day, the streets are crowded, and this small shop is also full of people, so it is very lively.
A carriage passed by the door. Because of the crowd, the carriage was moving very slowly. The driver kept shouting, "Let me go, please give me a go!" The tone was very gentle, without the slightest bit of fiery and domineering, Lian Fangzhou I couldn't help but looked at it twice.
Just when Xiao Er came over, he smiled and said: "This is the carriage of Mrs. Ding's family. If you say that Mr. Ding is really a good person, he is a person who has been the emperor's teacher. He has no pretence at all. The servants are also very kind and arrogant, never seen domineering!"
"Master Ding?" Lian Fangzhou laughed: "We Yuhe County has such a big official!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Er nodded and smiled, and said again: "Unfortunately, I have to return home!"
Xiao Er said and went to work on his own.
Grandma San aunt stretched her neck and glanced at the carriage, and immediately withdrew her gaze without the slightest interest, pouted and said, "Then Fu's family is probably not very good, this carriage is like this, it's not as good as our village's Li Yuanwai. The carriage at home is beautiful! What are you looking at, kid, hurry up and eat the noodles, or it will get cold later!"
Seeing that Lian Ze was staring outside, the third aunt smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I didn't watch..." Lian Ze took his eyes back and ate the noodles.
Lian Fangzhou followed his gaze and couldn't help but be startled. Lian Ze was indeed not looking at the carriage in Mrs. Ding's house, but a man sitting diagonally across the street.
