On the morning of the 21st, Xu Hongping and the others arrived at the market very early.
Xu Hongping opened her voice and shouted: Selling silk scarves and handkerchiefs! Purely handmade handkerchiefs, fun and beautiful handkerchiefs, handkerchiefs costing two for a penny, come and have a look!
Therefore, the weather was too hot and there were not many pedestrians in the market.
"Boss, bring me 4 handkerchiefs."
Xu Hongping said: Guest, you make your own choice.
The guest officer chose 4 handkerchiefs and praised them: The embroidery work is really good.
Xu Hongping replied: If you like it, you are welcome to come again next time.
The guest officer took out two pennies and said: I will definitely come again.
Xu Hongping took the money and said: Thank you!
The guest officer was holding a handkerchief and was about to leave.
Shitou called out: Sir, please go slowly!
The guest officer smiled and said: The young man is very polite. This boss is your mother! The boss is so lucky!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: No, no, no.
"Boss, don't lie to me!" The guest officer picked up his feet and walked away slowly.
"I'm really lucky today. I sold a few handkerchiefs just after setting up the stall." Xu Hongping said:
"Aunt Tang, that guest officer just now!" Shitou muttered:
Erfeng called out: It's such a hot day, it would be best if our handkerchiefs were sold out as soon as possible...
"Sister Erfeng, if you are afraid of the heat! Sit inside the factory shed, it is cooler inside." Shitou said:
Erfeng replied: It's okay now, the sun in the morning is not very strong.
Shitou said: The sun has just risen, and you are shouting that it is hot, and it is noon!
Erfeng continued: "Aren't you hot?" Your forehead is sweating...
"What are you two arguing about? There is water under the stall, drink it yourself." Xu Hongping shouted:
"Boss, give me two handkerchiefs."
Xu Hongping responded: The guest officer chooses himself.
The guest officer pointed to the embroidered handkerchief and said: I want two handkerchiefs like that.
Shitou took two embroidered handkerchiefs and called: Sir, take them.
The guest officer took the handkerchief, "looked at it" and said, "I want that kind of handkerchief that is of "heart to heart".
Shitou listened and stood at a loss.
Erfeng stood up.
She picked two handkerchiefs that were "similar to each other" and handed them to the guest officer.
The guest officer took a handkerchief and handed a penny to Xu Hongping.
Shitou blushed, bowed and said: Sir, please go slowly.
Erfeng saw this scene.
She held Shitou's hand and whispered: Shitou, I'll teach you how to read when I go back.
Shitou opened his hand and called out: Sister Erfeng, I'm pretty useless, right? I'm not even qualified to sell handkerchiefs.
Xu Hongping replied: Shitou, you can't say that! Everyone has their own strengths.
Besides, knowing two words is not a strength! As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely learn well.
Shitou responded: Aunt Tang, Shitou has not loved reading since he was a child, I'm afraid Shitou is!
"Stone, how long have you been here?"
Shitou turned his head and shouted: Sister Lin'er.
Lin'er said politely: Hello, aunt! Hello, Sister Erfeng!
Erfeng muttered: An uninvited guest is here.
Lin'er shouted: Sister Erfeng, what are you muttering about?
Erfeng replied: I said, sister Lin'er came early.
Lin'er continued: It's getting late, the sun is already so high.
Xu Hongping asked: Lin'er, didn't your aunt come with you?
"Here! She's right there." Lin'er pointed to the stall opposite.
Shitou asked: Where is Auntie squatting?
Lin'er replied: My aunt is there to help me pick apples.
Stone called out: If you want to buy apples, you can choose by yourself...
"My aunt knows the goods better than me." Lin'er interrupted:
"Ping'er, how many handkerchiefs did you sell today?" The aunt came towards me.
Xu Hongping replied: I sold five or six pieces.
Shi Shi said politely: Hello, aunt!
Erfeng called out: Hello Aunt Jue!
Lin'er walked up to her aunt and called out: Brother, give me the apple.
She shared the apples and said, "The weather is very hot right now. Let's eat an apple to quench our thirst."
Xu Hongping said: Lin'er, you can take it home and eat it yourself. We will buy it if we want to eat it.
Lin'er continued: Auntie, a few days ago, we ate the apples you bought. Today, you will eat the apples I bought.
Xu Hongping argued: I still want to eat an apple...
"In the future, please return the apple to me again." The aunt shouted:
"I want you to have vomiting and diarrhea." Xu Hongping joked:
"Bah, bah, bah! Your mouth stinks." The aunt said:
"Your mouth doesn't stink." Xu Hongping said:
"Aunt, Sister Erfeng, Shitou, you guys eat slowly. After you finish eating, there will still be some left here." After Lin'er distributed the apples to everyone, there were still six or seven apples left in the bag.
The aunt took a bite of the apple and said: After I bought the apple, I wiped it clean with a paper towel.
Shitou replied: There is no mud on the apple, it doesn't matter whether you wipe it or not.
Lin'er replied: You can't say that, there are bacteria on the skin of apples, you don't wipe or wash them!
Erfeng handed the apple and said: Sister Lin'er, you put the apple in the bag, I will eat it later.
Lin'er asked: Sister Erfeng, why don't you eat?
Erfeng replied: I don't want to eat it.
"Apples are very sweet." Lin'er shouted:
"Lin'er, if Erfeng doesn't want to eat, forget it." The aunt called:
"She doesn't plan to eat." Lin'er said:
"Lin'er, I have a very bad feeling. I always feel ignored." The aunt said:
"Boss, I'll buy 4 handkerchiefs."
Erfeng said: Sir, which one do you want?
The customer looked back and forth at the stall and said: I want the kind of "heart to heart" handkerchief, as well as this kind of peace and auspiciousness, good health, everything goes well, and unswerving love...
"Sir, which ones do you want?" Erfeng interrupted:
The guest officer replied: Every handkerchief here is good, especially this kind of embroidered handkerchief.
"Otherwise, you can choose among the embroidered handkerchiefs and choose a few handkerchiefs of different styles." The guest officer continued:
Erfeng picked four handkerchiefs and handed them to the guest officer.
The guest officer gave Erfeng two cents.
Erfeng handed the money and shouted: Mom, take it.
Xu Hongping took the money and asked: Sister Ju, who has ignored you?
The aunt said: Lin'er just took turns asking you to eat apples, but she didn't ask me, so I helped her buy apples...
Lin'er rushed to say: Auntie, we are members of our own family.
The aunt scolded: You can ignore your own family, right? You haven't gotten married yet. If you did, and I went to your house, would you kick me out? You want me to sleep on the floor?
Lin'er responded: Auntie, where did you get this?
"Boss, I want 6 handkerchiefs."
Xu Hongping called out: Sir, which one do you like? You choose.
The guest officer picked 6 handkerchiefs and said: Boss, the total is "3 cents", right?
Xu Hongping replied: Yes.
The guest officer took 3 pennies and put it on the stall.
"Aunt, Shitou, do you still want apples?" Lin'er shouted:
Xu Hongping waved her hand and said thank you: Thank you! No.
Shitou and the others shook their heads.
The aunt called out: Lin'er, they still have to do business, we will go shopping on the street.
Lin'er then said: Yes! We still have to go shopping.
Xu Hongping responded: Sister Ju, I am willing to spend money today.
The aunt replied: Can you not bear it? My niece traveled thousands of miles to come to my house, and the food she eats every day—can’t be less!
Xu Hongping replied: So! If your niece doesn't come, there won't be food in your house.
The aunt said: I "eat vegetables" as a family, and I can make whatever I want!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: According to your statement, it is a sin for your niece to come to your house. She cost you a lot of money.
The aunt said: I am too lazy to tell you, you are the best.
Lin'er shouted: Shitou, Sister Erfeng, can you go shopping with me?
Erfeng responded: We are not going, we still have to help here.
Lin'er shouted: Auntie, we are going to have dinner later, let's bring some food over!
Xu Hongping replied: Great!
"I'll give you a few cents." Xu Hongping took out the money and called:
Lin'er said: No, no, I have money in my pocket.
Xu Hongping continued: If you don’t take the money, we won’t ask for your food.
The aunt muttered: Ping'er, why are you so serious!
Xu Hongping argued: The "food" does not belong to Lin'er's family, and Lin'er has to spend money to buy it.
Lin'er glanced at Xu Hongping, took the money with one hand, and called: Aunt, we are leaving.
"Boss, I'll buy 5 scarves."
Xu Hongping said: Sir, we sell two silk scarves for one penny, and you want 5. It’s hard for us to settle the bill.
The guest officer said: I will give you three cents, and you can give me some banknotes.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Sir, you are right. The problem is that I didn’t bring any banknotes.
Shitou said: Grandpa, do you think this will work? You buy three cents, and I'll give you seven handkerchiefs.
The guest officer smiled happily and said, "Young man, what's your name!"
Shitou replied: Grandpa, my name is Shitou.
The guest officer then said: Young man, you are very good at doing business. I wanted to get one of you, but it would be better for you to force one to me.
Shitou said: We still gave you one.
The guest officer called out: "Stop it, I won't go around with you anymore, please give me 4 handkerchiefs!"
Shitou said: Grandpa, what kind of handkerchief do you want?
The guest officer thought for a while and said: I want 4 "good health" handkerchiefs.
Erfeng stood up, picked four handkerchiefs and handed them to the guest officer.
Shitou shouted: Grandpa, you are sure of it.
The guest officer handed over the money and said: Boss, your son is very polite and lovable.
Shitou replied: Grandpa, I am not!
Xu Hongping took the money and said politely, "Good riddance, sir."
Shitou shouted: Grandpa, welcome to come again next time.
Seeing that there was no one in front of the stall, Xu Hongping said: Shitou, let them explain the relationship between us. You don't need to explain to them.
Shitou continued: If I don't tell them, what should I do if they misunderstand!
Xu Hongping responded: There are tens of millions of people in the world, can you make it clear?
"Boss, I want to buy 6 silk scarves."
Xu Hongping shouted: Guest, you choose for yourself.
The guest officer pointed to the embroidered silk scarf and called out: I want 6 of those silk scarves.
Shitou stretched his hand in the direction pointed by the guest officer and said: Sister, do you want this kind of silk scarf?
The guest officer smiled and said: Yes, yes, yes, that's it.
Shitou took 6 handkerchiefs and handed them to the guest officer.
The guest officer took the silk scarf and turned around happily.
Xu Hongping shouted: Sir, you haven't paid yet!
The guest officer turned around and said with a smile: Yes! I forgot to pay. I was so happy that I forgot about it just now.
Shitou asked: Sister, what are you happy about?
The guest officer handed Xu Hongping three pennies, bowed and said: I'm sorry! sorry!
Xu Hongping took the money and replied: You are stingy.
The guest officer glanced at the stone and walked away with a smile.
Shitou asked: Aunt Tang, you just said you didn't have any banknotes. Are you really not bringing any banknotes?
Xu Hongping continued: I really didn’t bring those banknotes.
Shitou said: Aunt Tang, when we go out to do business, we still need to prepare more coins.
Xu Hongping argued: Shitou doesn't know something. The banknotes that the guest officer mentioned just now are basically not used in the market!
Shitou replied: That's it!
Xu Hongping said: "However, Shitou's suggestion is very good. Bring more coins to prevent people like just now."
"Stone, it's time to eat."
Shitou raised his head and saw Lin'er and Auntie walking over carrying rice.
Lin'er said excitedly: Shitou, do you like eating salted duck eggs?
Shitou replied: I like it.
The aunt shouted: Ping'er, come here and get some food.
Xu Hongping responded: The weather is so hot, the food needs to be cool before eating.
The aunt shouted: Erfeng, catch it.
Erfeng took the rice bowl and opened it. There were three salted duck eggs hidden in the rice.
She picked up two salted duck eggs, placed them on the stone bowl, and said, "Stone, you ate my salted duck eggs too. I don't want to eat them."
The aunt called out: Erfeng, you ate the salted duck eggs. The "salted duck eggs" were specially bought by Lin'er. Don't let her down.
Xu Hongping then said: You have to spend more money to buy "salted duck eggs"!
Lin'er responded: Money is not important, as long as you like to eat.
Xu Hongping took out the money and said: You tell me how much, I will pay you.
Lin'er rushed to say: Aunt, don't you want to see me outside! We finally got together, why don’t I treat you to a meal?
Besides: Auntie just gave me a few pennies.
The aunt frowned and whispered: That's it!
Shitou and the others lowered their heads one after another.
Lin'er shouted: Shitou, Sister Erfeng, I just heard good news...
"What good news?" Shitou asked:
Lin'er said emphatically: "I just met a circus on the street, and I heard from a member that they were going to perform on the street tonight."
Shitou was surprised and said: Real or fake.
Erfeng asked: Shitou, do you like theater?
Shitou replied: I like to watch.
I remember! This time last year - I went to the theater.
Xu Hongping asked: Lin'er, when will they start the show?
Lin'er responded: I didn't hear the specific time, I only heard - there will be a performance tonight.
Xu Hongping called out: There will be a performance tonight. Let's come over and watch the show together tonight.
Lin'er clapped her hands and said with a smile: That's great...
