Thinking of the money from selling hares before, Bai Xixin said, now I am considered the richest person, right?
Originally, Chen Daliu disapproved of my aunt selling dried sweet potatoes, but my aunt said that she couldn't eat so much by herself. Besides, it's not easy for people in the city, everyone is hungry, so selling some can save a little.
The generosity and kindness of my aunt are not comparable to those who care about their own one-third of an acre of land.
If Bai Xi had known what Chen Daliu was thinking, he would have been speechless.
She simply doesn't like to eat dried sweet potatoes. In this case, she sells them for money, and finds time to go to the city to see if there is anything to buy, then buy it back. If not, buy some melon seeds, peanuts or fruit candy.
On the first day of the new year, the villagers will definitely come to pay her New Year's greetings, and treat her as a little reward for the villagers for the New Year from her aunt.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Chen Daliu took the ox cart again, but instead of going outside the village, he drove the ox cart to the tree house.
Not long after, Bai Xi opened the door and came down from the tree house.
Xiao Hei followed suit.
While going down the stairs, Bai Xi told Xiao Hei: "I'll probably be back at night, you look at home, look at the village, don't run around if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Hei complied obediently.
"At noon, Chen Zhaodi will come to feed you."
The wild wolf brought back by Xiao Hei yesterday had a few catties of meat from it. Even if Bai Xi is not there, the villagers will never forget it.
Chen Daliu stood beside the ox cart, and when he heard his aunt's words, Xiao Hei responded with a low growl, feeling both surprised and amused.
Maybe my aunt thinks of Xiao Hei as a watchdog in the countryside?
Xiao Hei is a tiger, how can he let him look after his house.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei didn't know what Chen Daliu was muttering in his heart, otherwise, he would have thrown him down angrily.
It's a spirit beast, a spirit tiger, even a dog can look after the house, why can't it!
"Good morning, aunt!"
Chen Daliu greeted with a smile.
"morning!"
Bai Xi didn't need Chen Daliu's hug, but stepped on the small wooden bench prepared by Chen Daliu to get into the bullock cart.
The frame of this ox cart is not covered with straw as usual, but a mattress and a piece of animal skin are laid on the straw.
Although the straw was replaced with a new one, Chen Daliu's daughter-in-law thought about it, she had delicate skin and tender flesh, so she couldn't let her sit on the straw, so she dug out the mattress that hadn't been washed before winter and put it on the cow. In the car, the fur is for my aunt to block the wind on the road.
Before Chen Daliu left yesterday, he said that he would go to the city the next day because he wanted to pick things. When Bai Xi heard this, he was ready to go to the city to have a look.
Xiao Hei followed the ox cart to the entrance of the village, then obediently stopped under Bai Xi's wave, and turned back to the tree house.
There are villagers waiting in the big tree at the entrance of the village, including Chen Xiaocong, the son of Chen Daliu, who is about to go to the city to buy something for the Chinese New Year.
Bai Xi practiced until midnight yesterday, and before dawn, when the ox cart was on the road, she closed her eyes and napped on the animal skin.
The woman sitting on the side looked at it, and hurriedly signaled the people in the bullock cart to adjust their positions to shield Bai Xi from the strong wind, while she took off her cotton coat and covered Bai Xi.
Bai Xi opened his eyes with feeling, blinked his sleepy eyes, and said, "No, I have a cotton coat in the bamboo basket."
As soon as the woman heard this, she took out the cotton coat from the bamboo basket, covered Bai Xi, and then put on her own cotton coat.
Chen Daliu, who was driving the ox cart in front, heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw that Bai Xi was covered with a cotton coat, and immediately felt that he was not careful enough. Fortunately, my aunt brought the cotton coat herself.
"Grandma, you just need to rest, it's still early, I'll call you when I get to the city."
Because Bai Xi was resting, the voices of the people on the bullock cart were very quiet along the way. They only talked about family affairs and some things in the village. They occasionally asked Chen Daliu something. After all, he is the village chief, so he knew. Always more than others.
When approaching the county seat, Chen Daliu called softly, and Bai Xi opened his eyes.
She actually woke up for a while, but she didn't know how to get along with the villagers on the bullock cart, and she closed her eyes and pretended to continue sleeping for fear that they would be uncomfortable.
Hua Jing has been to Baizhou County before, but this is the first time for Bai Xi.
As the ox cart entered the city, she looked around curiously.
After entering the city wall, there are low-rise houses on both sides of the street. It is estimated that it is the time to go to work. People on the street are in a hurry. Some people will cast their eyes on the people on the bullock cart curiously, but more take a glance, thenContinue on your way.
How poor!
Bai Xi sighed softly in her heart, there are quite a lot of patched clothes in this city, and there are quite a few passers-by with disheveled faces.
At this time, the woman who covered Bai Xi with a cotton coat took out a rice ball from her bamboo basket, and handed it to Bai Xi thoughtfully.
"Grandma, please eat something."
It is said to be rice balls, but it is actually steamed steamed buns made of dried sweet potatoes mixed with sorghum noodles and wild vegetables.
Bai Xi glanced at it and shook her head. She knew that this woman must have saved this bun for lunch. If she ate it, the woman would be hungry.
"Grandma"
"You can eat." Bai Xi: "Let me see what can be eaten in Baizhou County. I want to eat something hot."
As soon as these words came out, the woman stopped persuading her.
After setting the time to go back, everyone else bid farewell to Bai Xi, and then they carried the bamboo baskets and left with their belongings.
When Chen Daliu took Bai Xi away, he did not forget to tell his son.
"Keep an eye on the bullock cart and don't run around."
"Father, don't worry, I'll just wait here and not go anywhere."
It was only now that Bai Xi knew why Chen Xiaocong went to the city together, because he wanted him to watch the oxcart.
"Grandma, there is a state-run restaurant ahead, shall I accompany you to have some breakfast?"
Bai Xi was really hungry, so she nodded, thinking of Chen Xiaocong, she looked back.
Chen Daliu seemed to know what Bai Xi meant, and immediately said, "Grandma, don't worry, we all had breakfast at home."
They are all vulgar people, they can just deal with food at home, and eat out wherever they can go to the city.
The two of them had just walked not far away, Chen Xiaocong naturally heard this too, grinned and nodded to Bai Xi: "Thank you, aunt, for your concern, you just go, I have eaten at home."
Seeing this, Bai Xi didn't say anything more.
The state restaurant was empty, except for a waiter sitting at the counter, there was no diner.
Bai Xi knew what was going on after thinking about it for a while. Now that food is in short supply, no one will go to the restaurant without incident. Save eating for two or three days.
Yesterday, Chen Daliu and the others happened to catch up with the steamed buns in the state-run restaurant, and they were buns made with mixed noodles and cornmeal. There was only a little bit of pigskin foam in the buns, which was not cheap.
Chen Weiguo paid for the food stamps for the buns. After all, he and Fang Ya were the only ones who worked in the city and had food stamps. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
