Even if it was an illusion, Zhang Xiulan still didn't move, let alone make a sound, she paid attention to the movement outside the window, and sure enough, while waiting, the sound of digging things came again, Zhang Xiulan was sure that someone was making the window.She couldn't help but think about it, and shouted out the window, "Who's outside?"
The old lady will cut you with a knife now. ”Thinking of what happened all the way out of the house, and being remembered again when she arrived here just after earning some money, Zhang Xiulan's anger suddenly ignited, and she strode to the stove, picked up the knife sent by Song Xiaohua yesterday and went straight to the door.When Zhang Xiulan opened the door from the inside and stood barefoot outside the door, it was quiet all around, where was there a figure, it was pitch black, even if someone was stealing not far away, I couldn't see it.Zhang Xiulan scolded, "I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, you listen to the old lady, the old lady dares to do business here alone, it means that the old lady is not a good bully, this is the first time, and the second time, the old lady will let you take the blood away." ”In the quiet night, Zhang Xiulan scolded like this, causing the dogs in the town to bark too, one after another, several close ones also opened, and it didn't take long for a man to poke his head out and look at Zhang Xiulan.Zhang Xiulan took the opportunity to scold again, "You black-hearted, come to pick my window in the middle of the night, I curse your whole family not to die well, the children and grandchildren born will not live to be more than a year old, let you choke to death when eating, fall to death while walking, if you are a man, you will be cuckolded, and if you are a woman, you will become a slut." ”Zhang Xiulan's scolding was ugly, and it was at night again.The sentences clearly fell into the ears of a few people who came out, and Zhang Xiulan didn't say much, turned around with a knife and entered the house.She went back, and everyone who watched the excitement was closed.Zhang Xiulan returned to the house and locked the door first, leaned against the door, touched her chest with one hand, and felt that her heart was about to jump out, she did such a move just now, and she did not regret it.Some people just bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and the horizontal are afraid of death.This is the first time, if you don't do something powerful, I really don't know what will happen in the future.made such a fuss, Zhang Xiulan didn't have the heart to sleep.It is estimated that it has been an hour since she scolded people, and she leaned against the window and lifted a piece to look outside, but there was no one, it seemed that she was scared away.Zhang Xiulan took out the key to open the door, and dug a pit under the window with the knife in her hand by the moonlight, digging from one end of the window to the other, one step wide and two fists deep.Then he went back to the house and took out the wooden stumbling blocks he bought from Gao Yunbao and piled them under the window, and the excavated soil was also moved to the house, so that he could not tell that he had dug it.Then I went back to the house.Lying on the kang for less than an hour or two, the sky was also bright, the carriage outside listened, Zhang Xiulan sat up, knew that it was Xu Laohan who came, got up and went to open the door.Xu Laohan held the basket of shortbread yesterday in his hand."
Girl, what happened in the middle of the night yesterday?
I've heard people say something has happened?
”Zhang Xiulan took the basket and thirty yuan.didn't hide it, "I didn't know who came to pick my window last night, and my uncle also knew that I lived here with a girl's family, so what good thing could it be to come and pick the window in the middle of the night?"
Why is this town not big, and you can't see anyone when you look up, and you are not afraid of dying if you do this kind of thing. ”Xu Laohan was shocked, "Who is this who has a bad heart, doing such a lack of morality, I'm afraid it's also a moment of confusion, don't take it to heart, but it's really not safe for a girl's family to be outside, uncle ask more, don't think about it, why don't you see your family?"
”This is probably a place that everyone in the town is curious about, right?
Zhang Xiulan was accustomed to seeing the old man Cao's coolness before, and she was not annoyed when she saw Xu Laohan's hypocritical face, "My brother is in the army here, he said that this place is good, I just came to do a small business, my parents are farming at home, how can I think that this kind of thing happened, I am afraid that I have never seen my brother, I think I am alone, and I don't want to think about it, I am a girl's family, if I come out alone, how can the family rest assured." ”"Ah, it turned out to be in our army, it's good to be a soldier."
Xu Laohan inquired, and didn't ask any more, there were still people waiting in the carriage outside, so he left.Sent Xu Laohan away, and Gao Yunbao also came after a while, and when he heard Zhang Xiulan say what happened last night, he looked annoyed, "Sister, you move to my house to live, my house has two rooms, you sleep one, and I sleep with your sister-in-law." ”"Brother Gao, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiulan had an idea last night, so she didn't worry about it, "It's just that I have to trouble my brother for something, can you help me buy a few big iron clips for hunting to clamp prey?"
”"This thing is easy to do, we have a lot of woods, every family has it, my family has it, how many do you want?
I'll get it for you right now. ”Gao Yunbao patted his chest and turned around to leave.Zhang Xiulan hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Gao, I'll go with you." ”Zhang Xiulan didn't wait for Gao Yunbao to say more, turned around and went back to the house, took the basket out and locked the door again, before she smiled, "Let's go." ”If Gao Yunbao is sent with a swagger, she is afraid that she will be seen by someone who cares, then she will prepare in vain, and the other party will be vigilant.Gao Yunbao didn't understand what was going on first, no one wanted to go to his house, he couldn't help but welcome it, until he watched Zhang Xiulan put the four big iron clips in the basket and covered them with a piece of cloth, that he faintly understood.Song Xiaohua also persuaded her, "Or move to my house and go back to work during the day." ”Although there are not many people in the town, some of them are also outsiders, and they are all busy with their own business, who knows who is who."
Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine alone, if I really move here with you, I will make the other party proud, the other party just doesn't want me to make money, I want to earn."
Zhang Xiulan also felt that the other party was not trying to beat her.It's just to scare her.Song Xiaohua saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she left Zhang Xiulan to eat at home, Zhang Xiulan couldn't shirk it, so she stayed, sorghum rice and two rice from Dabai Lane, beaten leek sauce, seeing leeks, Zhang Xiulan paid attention to it again, and ate angrily, and then went home with the basket on her back.When she got home, Zhang Xiulan packed shortbread and locked the door and went to the train station, and sold it until it was dark before going home, a basket filled with 200 shortbreads, and in the end, Zhang Xiulan sold more than ten shortbreads for a dime, and bought a basket of shortbread.At the intersection, a few old ladies set up stalls on the ground, with leeks and green onions, and some eggs."
Auntie, how do you sell these leeks and eggs?"
Zhang Xiulan stopped.In the morning, Xu Laohan returned thirty yuan, plus it was sold during the day, and now she has more than seventy yuan, when Zhang Xiulan saw leeks at Gao Yunbao's house, she thought of making leek boxes to sell, and in the future, shortbread will be wholesale, so that there are many types, and business will always be done."
Leeks are grown by my own family, and they are not expensive, five catties a dime, and eggs are a dime."
Zhang Xiulan always sells shortbread in the town, and the old lady knows each other, so she doesn't ask for much.The tea eggs at the train station cost two cents a piece, how can it cost a dime and two cents if it is not cooked, Zhang Xiulan also knows that the old lady has no high demand."
That's okay, auntie, bring me thirty eggs and five catties of leeks."
Zhang Xiulan put down the basket and squatted down.The old lady smiled and agreed, counted thirty eggs for Zhang Xiulan, and weighed five catties of leeks for her, "Girl, do you still have that cake?"
If you don't see if this will work, I'll take you less money and exchange this egg for a few cakes. ”The old lady has a grandson at home, and the grandson has been shouting all day long to eat shortbread, but he is reluctant to take the money, this leek is grown by his own family, and the eggs are also under his own chickens.Zhang Xiulan responded with a smile, "Of course, if the eldest lady wants to change a few shortbreads, I'll give you a dime and a half." ”In this era, rice and eggs are mostly used for food, and Zhang Xiulan is just going to use eggs, so it is also a good thing for her to be able to use money."
No more, no more, just change two, then I'll charge you two dollars eight."
Three eggs for three cents, just in exchange for two shortbreads."
Okay, but I don't have it in my hand now, I have it at home, so my aunt can go home with me and get it."
Zhang Xiulan got up with a smile and counted two pieces and handed them over.The old lady's basket of eggs was only more than thirty, and Zhang Xiulan bought thirty, and there were not a few, and it was getting dark, and the old lady was going home, packing her things, "Okay, I'll go with you to get it." ”The two arrived at Zhang Xiulan's house, and Zhang Xiulan wrapped three shortbreads, "Auntie, I may use eggs and leeks more in the future, and I have to ask you to take care of me more then." ”The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Okay, well, I have more than ten chickens at home, don't worry, there are enough eggs for you." ”Zhang Xiulan took the canned bottle of oil and sent the old lady out, locked the door and went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and when she walked all the way, she had to be looked at with strange eyes, thinking of the words she scolded last night, Zhang Xiulan smiled secretly in her heart, looking at her small body, I'm afraid I really can't imagine that she can scold people so hard, right?
Zhang Xiulan went to the supply and marketing cooperative, loaded five catties of peanut oil, bought a bag of salt, and had the knife sent by Gao Yunbao at home, so she didn't need to buy a kitchen knife.Zhang Xiulan looked at the past, how many years have passed, the most memorable thing is the people who come to the village from time to time to pop popcorn, looking at the steaming rice that is poured out and bursts of aroma, Zhang Xiulan's brain lit up, why didn't she think of this.Turning around, Zhang Xiulan went back to the supply and marketing cooperative, discussed, bought a bag of rice for people to send home, and bought ten catties of sugar and a concave aluminum tray with a length of 80 centimeters and a width of 50 centimeters, and then went to the place where popcorn jumped.
