Chapter 8 Small Town Life
Wei Zi and Wei Dahu followed their uncle Sun Shouyi in a donkey cart and came to Luoxia Town before it was dark.
It was too late, and the merchants and vendors had already closed their stalls, and they didn't see any lively scenes, nor did they eat sugar gourds, but the blue brick and big tile houses that can be seen everywhere in the town have made the two ignorant fishermen grow a lot of knowledge, diluting the regret of not eating sugar gourds.
In fact, Liu Yifan has traveled south and north for decades, and he has seen a lot of cities, if Wei Zi seriously recalls, he will definitely not feel how rich and prosperous Luoxia Town is.
It's just that Wei Zi always feels that what he hasn't experienced is not his own, and he is only willing to rummage through Liu Yifan's memories when he is studying, and then really make these memories his own.
Wei Zi and the others walked through the streets and alleys and came to the back of their uncle's shop, and their uncle Sun Shouyi jumped off the donkey cart and ran to knock on the door, "Da Chun, open the door quickly, I'll pick up the child and come back." After a while, the wooden door creaked open from the inside, and Wei Dachun beckoned the two nephews and nieces who had jumped out of the car to enter the house.
Sun Shouyi went to settle the donkey cart without mentioning it, Wei Dachun asked as he walked, "Why didn't your brother come, just the two of you?" Wei Dahu looked around and didn't answer, Wei Zi looked up and said to his aunt, "Grandma said, the two of them are too small and very noisy, let them come when they are older." ”
Wei Dachun wanted to tease her when he heard his niece's answer, "The two of them are small and noisy, so you are an obedient and sensible adult?"
Wei Zi nodded affirmatively, "That's natural, if my aunt has something, just tell Ah Zi, Ah Zi promises to do it for you properly." After hearing this, Wei Dachun couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Dachun took the two children to meet his mother-in-law Sun, Sun was sitting in the hall at the moment to settle the accounts, the abacus crackled, and when he saw his daughter-in-law coming in with the two children, he put the account book aside, "This is your mother's nephew and niece?
Wei Dachun pushed the two children, "Call grandma," and then turned to her mother-in-law and said, "My mother was afraid that the two little ones would be too noisy and not easy to coax, so she didn't let the two of them come, and only let the two older ones come over for two days." ”
Wei Zi saw that her aunt and her mother-in-law had finished talking, and took two steps forward, "Hello grandma, my name is Ah Zi, I am my aunt's niece, I have lived at my grandmother's house for the past two days, and I have disturbed my grandmother." ”
Mrs. Sun saw that she spoke so fluently and didn't recognize life, she was beautiful and smart, and she liked it very much at once.
Sun urged Wei Dachun to hurry up and cook for Wei Zi and them, don't starve Xiao Azi, and found brown sugar to come out, and made brown sugar water for Wei Zi and them to drink.
Wei Zi ate the sugar gourd that her uncle specially bought the next day, she ate half of it, and hid the remaining few to take back to give the plug a long insight.
After two days of freshness, Wei Zi felt that this town was not as fun as the village, there were people everywhere all day long, and he couldn't find the opportunity to practice the magic whip method, so he could only move his cultivation until the night.
During the day, Wei Dachun and his wife detained their two children, fearing that they would run away and be taken away by traffickers.
Wei Zi and Dahu were playing in the shop, and the Sun family's shop specially collected some seafood from fishermen, and sent them to the county restaurant and big households every two days.
Early this morning, Wei Dahu was helping out in the shop with Wei Zi, and a fisherman came to the store, carrying the seafood from the family to sell, and the two children helped classify and place the goods with the title of uncle Sun Shouyi.
Wei Dachun settled the account for the fisherman, but the guy didn't leave immediately, hesitated to touch it in his arms for a long time, and finally took out a bead and quietly handed it to Sun Shouyi, asking him to help see if the bead was worth anything.
Sun Shouyi carefully looked at the pearl, the bead was not big, but the luster was good, the shape was round, and he handed the bead to the young man, "This bead is good, it can be worth some silver money." If you want to exchange money, you have to send it to a jewelry store, and they will accept these beads. ”
The fisherman was grateful for the pearls and left.
Wei Zi saw that the kid was gone, so he tugged at his uncle's clothes, "Uncle, I also have a few beads of this, can mine also be exchanged for money." ”
Sun Shouyi looked down at her, "You also have that bead, where did it come from, I'll help you see it first." ”
Wei Zi ran back to the house and showed the pearls hidden in the bag to his uncle, the beads Wei Zi brought were slightly larger than the fisherman's boy, the luster was more dazzling, the shape was round, there were almost no flaws, and the quality was quite good.
Wei Zi actually deliberately searched Liu Yifan's memory before picking out these beads from his hands that were worth some money but could not be called treasures. She wanted to help her family improve their lives, but she was worried that things that were too good would be remembered, and she remembered her mother's sentence that good things were easily refused to be known.
Sun Shouyi returned the beads to her, found his daughter-in-law Wei Dachun again, and asked Wei Zi to show the beads to Wei Dachun again. After the two knew that Wei Zi wanted to exchange the beads for money, Wei Dachun took the matter away, "If you want to believe your aunt and uncle, let your uncle go and exchange money for you, don't come forward, you little girl, don't come forward, so that others will know that you have changed a lot of money and be remembered." When the beads are sold, the money will be quietly given to you. ”
Wei Zi naturally believed that his uncle Sun Shouyi would not be greedy for her money, so he nodded in agreement. When Sun Shouyi came back with a happy face, Wei Dachun and Sun Shouyi secretly told Wei Zi that those pearls were sold for twenty taels, which was far higher than the price estimated by Sun Shouyi. It's just that there is so much money, and the two of them don't worry about her little girl holding it, and tell her not to shout, and when they go back, let her uncle Sun Shouyi personally bring the money back to her.
Of course, Wei Zi agreed with her aunt's opinion, her aunt was afraid that her child would not know the importance of the child and lose so much money, and she was not greedy for her money, her aunt's character Wei Zi was quite trustworthy.
