On the morning of the 21st, Xu Hongping and Shitou arrived at the market early in the morning.
Shitou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: Mom, the market is so busy so early...
Xu Hongping responded: It is summer now, the sky is getting brighter quickly, and everyone gets up earlier. For example, those restaurant owners, they are preparing for the next day's business in the middle of the night, and some even stay up all night.
Shitou then said: Yes! Life is not easy for everyone.
"Mom, let's put the stall here!" Shitou continued:
Xu Hongping replied: If you want to put the stone here, put it here. I have no objection.
Shitou put down his burden and slowly pulled the shed.
Xu Hongping pulled the factory shed and shouted: Shitou, please pull that shelf over.
Shitou pushed the shelf and said: Is this okay?
Xu Hongping replied: Okay, you hold it down and I will tie the rope.
After saying that, she came over with a rope.
After she tied up the shed, she walked into the shed and shouted: Shitou, come and sit down!
Shitou replied: I'll just stand.
Xu Hongping sat on the stool and argued: No guests have come yet.
After a while, you don’t have time to sit down even if you want to.
"Look what mom said! You're afraid you won't have time to sit down! When we go out to do business, we just hope that the business will be prosperous..." Shitou continued:
"That's true, but these are two concepts." Xu Hongping said:
"Boss, I'll buy two handkerchiefs."
Shitou said: Sister-in-law, what kind of handkerchief do you want to buy?
The guest officer said awkwardly: I don’t know how to read, so I’ll just buy those embroidered handkerchiefs.
Shi Shi picked two embroidered handkerchiefs and handed them to the guest officer.
The guest officer put his handkerchief in his pocket and gave Shi Shi a penny.
Shitou glanced at Xu Hongping, took the money with one hand, and said thank you, sister-in-law!
The guest officer turned around and walked straight forward.
Shitou put one hand on the factory scaffolding, threw the money in his hand with the other, and sighed: Money! For you, I have put people through a lot of trouble.
"Shitou, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so emotional?" Xu Hongping looked at Shitou and asked:
Shitou walked up to Xu Hongping and said: Mom, didn't you just say that! Some people work from dawn to dusk in order to make a living, and they do not hesitate to work all night. In the final analysis, it is not just for that - money.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Shitou, your mind is moving fast enough.
Shitou then said: Mom, you are just making fun of Shitou. Shitou likes to eat eggs.
Xu Hongping said blankly: If you like eggs, I will cook them for you when I go back.
Shitou responded: No need to cook it, I usually eat too much.
So, I became a big fool.
"Hahaha!! Don't try to act poor on me!" Xu Hongping laughed.
"Hey! Speaking of the word money, I thought of a few days ago, when Sister Sulan and I went to buy food!" Shitou sighed with a slumped face:
Xu Hongping asked: Shitou, what happened when you and Sulan went to buy food?
Shitou said: "Money" itself is not easy to come by. Sister Sulan treated me to two bowls of dumplings.
"I thought something big had happened! It was just two bowls of dumplings!" Xu Hongping replied:
Shitou asked back: Mom, what do you think happened between me and Sister Sulan?
Xu Hongping whispered: I thought...
"Mom, listen to me. The time Sister Sulan and I were eating dumplings, Sister Sulan ordered two bowls of dumplings. As a result, I ate both bowls of dumplings. After that, she paid the bill, in my heart!" Shitou said:
Xu Hongping muttered: Two bowls of dumplings total 8 cents, which is not 1 cent or 2 cents.
Shitou replied: Another day, I will return the money to him.
Xu Hongping responded: No, Su Lan is a girl. I think you can understand her thoughts without saying more. To say the least, it would save the uncle and the others' face!
Shitou said helplessly: I can't just let it go and follow her!
Xu Hongping called out: This matter needs to be discussed in the long run.
"How can we plan for the long term?" Shitou said in confusion:
"Boss, give me 4 handkerchiefs."
Shitou came to the stall, grabbed two handkerchiefs, and asked: Auntie, are these handkerchiefs okay?
The guest officer at the door said, "Okay, okay, okay."
"Boss, give me 6 handkerchiefs."
"My guest, which style do you want to choose?" Xu Hongping shouted:
The guest officer said: Give me two "embroidered" handkerchiefs, two "heart to heart" handkerchiefs, and two "rich and noble" handkerchiefs.
Shitou picked 6 handkerchiefs and called out: Sister, you are sure to pick them up.
The guest officer held a handkerchief and asked: Boss, how much is the total?
Shitou said: "The 6 handkerchiefs just now cost 3 cents in total."
The guest officer stared into Shitou's eyes, smiled and said: 3 cents.
"Boss, give me 6 handkerchiefs."
Xu Hongping replied: Guest, you make your own choice.
The guest officer shouted: I want two embroidered handkerchiefs, two health handkerchiefs, and two wealth handkerchiefs.
Shitou held the handkerchief and said: Uncle, here it is.
The guest officer took out 3 pennies and called out: Who do you want to give this money to?
Shitou looked at Xu Hongping and said: Give the money to my mother.
Xu Hongping took the money and said with a smile: Sir, please go slowly.
Shitou said politely: Uncle, walk slowly.
Xu Hongping saw the guest officer walking away and said: Shitou, Sulan comes to find you later. You try to follow her. We will find a way to solve her matter.
Shitou responded: I can't handle it.
Xu Hongping replied: You pretend to follow her.
Shitou scratched his head and shouted: I can't pretend.
Besides, if Sister Erfeng knew about this, she would have random thoughts.
Xu Hongping then said: You are just thinking nonsense, my daughter, I know it! Erfeng's thoughts are all about you, how could she care about such a trivial matter with you!
Moreover, you are on the passive side in the whole process.
Shitou argued: Sister Erfeng is very affectionate to me, and my parents are extremely kind to me. I dare not show any intention of slacking off. People's hearts are made of flesh, and the principle of exchanging hearts with hearts - I understand. On the road of love, I can't afford to waste it, and I can't waste it...
"Stone is really straightforward..." Xu Hongping praised:
"Boss, I'll buy 4 handkerchiefs."
Xu Hongping said: The guest officer chooses himself.
The guest officer responded: I don’t know how to choose!
Shitou pointed at the handkerchief and called out: We have many styles of handkerchiefs here. You can choose whatever style of handkerchief you like.
The guest officer deliberately leaned against the stone, reached out and grabbed a "good health" handkerchief, and praised: This handkerchief is good, these words are embroidered with full charm...
Shitou said: Miss likes it, just pick it!
"Don't panic." The guest officer put down his health handkerchief and replied:
The guest officer casually took an embroidered handkerchief, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and sighed: The embroidery looks just like the real thing, it is so mesmerizing.
"Let's do this! I will choose two embroidered handkerchiefs and two healthy handkerchiefs..." Shitou responded:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." the guest officer shouted:
"Stone, don't sell it to her. She is obviously playing a trick on you."
Shitou raised his head and shouted: Sister Sulan, you are here!
Su Lanli said: Hello, aunt!
Xu Hongping waved her hands and shouted: Sulan, come here, come and sit.
The guest officer faced Sulan and said: I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless and hypocritical person, bitch.
Sulan turned around and asked: Who are you talking about?
The guest officer replied: You can't control anyone I say.
Sulan said: You didn’t come here to buy handkerchiefs at all, you came here to...
"Sulan, come over and sit down, don't talk nonsense." Xu Hongping shouted:
Sulan said angrily: She has bad intentions.
"Sister Sulan, please sit on the stool. Don't affect our business." Shitou called:
Su Lan glanced at the stone and walked into the shed angrily.
The guest officer looked at the handkerchief and muttered: He said that I had bad intentions. I think it was someone who had bad intentions and became jealous as soon as he arrived here.
Sulan glared at the guest officer and said angrily: You!
The guest officer said disdainfully: What about me!
"Miss, what kind of handkerchief do you want?" Shitou asked:
The guest officer turned his head and said: Because of her interference just now, I have lost interest in looking at handkerchiefs. Just follow what you just said and help me pick 4 handkerchiefs.
Shitou picked two health handkerchiefs and two embroidered handkerchiefs and handed them to the guest officer.
The guest officer put his handkerchief in his pocket and was about to pay.
Xu Hongping shouted: "It's two cents in total."
"Shitou, give me two heart-to-heart handkerchiefs." Su Lan shouted:
The guest officer next to him took two pennies and called out: "How much does a handkerchief cost for me? I will give it to you - I will never default on it. This old woman just talked nonsense. I can't wait to slap her twice."
"Please figure it out for me! Who is the old woman!" Su Lan responded:
The guest officer said: Of course it’s you!
Sulan continued: I am 17 years old this year, in my prime of youth, how can I not look like you! There were eight or nine wrinkles on his face, and he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
"It's a joke, let everyone see! My girl's skin is moist and smooth, and water will ooze out when touched lightly. It's not like you! Just like a menopausal woman, her skin is as dry as withered skin." The guest officer replied:
Suddenly, people on the side also gathered around.
Shitou yelled: Stop arguing! Shut up, please...
"Sister, what are you doing here!" Hao Long squeezed over and shouted:
The guest officer pointed his finger at Su Lan and shouted: Brother, that woman is bullying me.
When Shitou saw Hao Long, he took advantage of the situation and retreated into the crowd.
Hao Long glanced in the direction his sister pointed and said with a smile: Miss, we meet again.
Su Lan didn't say a word and quickly hid behind Xu Hongping.
The guest officer said: Brother, it turns out you know this old woman.
"Shut up, this lady is young and beautiful, how can you slander her!" Hao Long argued:
Hao Long continued: "Miss, please feel aggrieved. Come back home with me and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord."
Su Lan stuck her head out and replied: Shameless, who wants to go to your doghouse!
Hao Long shouted: "Young ladies, please be careful and escort this young lady back to her home."
Hao Long's men stepped forward and said in unison: "Miss, let's go!"
Xu Hongping shouted: Who are you! He even came to my place to act wild.
"Are we acting wild? No! If you want to go to your house! Then come together." Hao Long said with a evil smile:
Xu Hongping responded: You are so presumptuous, in public...
"Aunt, he is just a scoundrel." Su Lan grabbed Xu Hongping and whispered:
"Brother, why did you bring that old woman back? She is good for nothing, she is just a waste." The guest officer commented:
Sulan said: You are the waste.
Hao Long shouted: Why are you standing there! Take them all away to me.
"Master Hao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your domineering spirit is still there." Shitou called:
Hao Long turned sideways, looked around carefully, bowed and said: Hello, little master, hello, little master.
Master Hao's men panicked and quickly retreated behind Hao Long.
The guest officer faced the stone and said: Brother, you know him.
Master Hao tugged on his sister's sleeves and shouted softly: "Quickly salute the young master."
Shitou stretched out his hand and interrupted: "No need."
"Master Hao is in good spirits. He comes to stroll around the streets when he has something to do. Today he grabs this, and tomorrow he robs that. He will have people coming to visit him at every turn." Shitou continued:
Hao Long bowed and said: My Lord, I have learned from you! The villain does not rob, let alone dominate. The villain responds with affection and reason, and sincerely invites.
"Shitou, he's talking nonsense, he's a scumbag." Su Lan pointed at Hao Long and said:
Xu Hongping took Sulan's hand and called: Sulan, don't get excited.
Shitou said: Master Hao, I remember! I once told you that I don't like the kind of arrogant and arrogant people who only know how to consider their own interests and never think about others.
Master Hao knelt in front of the stone and bowed: "My Lord, please forgive me. Since I was scolded by my Master last time, I didn't go out to the streets until today to find the whereabouts of my little sister. I have been thinking a lot at home and have been affected by it." Thanks to the enlightenment of his father and uncles, the villain has learned from the experience and has changed a lot.
Shitou shouted: "Get up, let's talk, I won't hold you accountable, it's hard to say..."
"You are a great hero, a person even the police are afraid of. I thought you had three heads and six arms. It seems that you are about the same age as me." The guest officer walked back and forth and shouted:
Shitou was stunned and said: Miss, you!
Hao Long introduced: "Little Master, she is the little man's sister. She is 16 years old this year. Her name is: Hao Feng."
Shitou then said: Hao Long, Hao Feng, dragon and phoenix are auspicious.
Hao Feng smiled and said: Brother, it’s funny!
"Shitou, let's go over to eat. We don't need to talk to them." Su Lan called:
"Yes, let's eat. I sincerely ask my master to show my favor and let me serve as a host to make up for the sin of blasphemy just now." Hao Long responded:
Su Lan replied: No.
Hao Long faced Su Lan, bowed and said: The villain knows that the girl has hatred in his heart, and hates that the villain has been scornful of the girl many times. He also hopes that the girl will be upright and honest, and can put aside her past resentment and not be as knowledgeable as the villain.
"That's right! This girl hates my brother very much, so there's no need to go. Brother, please take us there!" Hao Feng shouted:
"Who said I won't go! I insist on going, and I'll make you mad." Su Lan replied:
At this time, the crowd on the street gradually dispersed.
Shitou said: It's better that you go, I won't go.
Hao Long asked: The little master refuses to forgive the villain?
Shitou lowered his head and said nothing.
Hao Feng walked to Shitou and said coquettishly: Brother, come with us!
Shitou responded: I won't go, I want to stay and look at the stalls.
Hao Feng smiled and said: This is easy to handle. You and this sister go there first, and my brother will deal with the aftermath.
Sulan muttered silently: Fairy, I want you to turn into pus.
Xu Hongping said: I...
"Aunt, let's both go. It's more interesting if there are more people." Su Lan put her arm around Xu Hongping and said:
Hao Long ordered: You guys are waiting here, and you must help the owner keep an eye on the stall, and sell when the sellers come...
"Half a penny for a handkerchief." Xu Hongping interrupted:
"Did you hear it clearly? One piece for half a penny, two pieces for one penny." Hao Long continued:
"Listen clearly."
Hao Long asked: "My lord, please!"
Shitou looked around and called, "Lead the way."
Hao Long stepped forward quickly and called: My little master, you go this way.
The stone held its feet and strode forward.
Su Lan took Xu Hongping and followed closely...
