Don't underestimate the managers of this tile market. Under the sky of tile market, they are running rampant and shouting. No stall owner dares to resist!
"I admired your courage earlier." Kang Xiaozi continued.
Li Laoer just smiled faintly, "There's nothing to admire, because you have been doing business here for a long time. This is the source of your livelihood. Try not to offend me as much as possible."
"But I'm different. I don't expect this to make a living. If I'm unhappy, I'll have to fight with them and then go home to farm."
"Besides, everyone is from the Mianniu Mountain area. You can tell who lives in which house. If I suffer a loss in the fight this time, I will go home. My elder brother will know about it. I will have to call out a few cousins and other people in the village." People, let’s go to that brother and sister’s house together, I’m barefoot and not afraid of them wearing shoes.”
This was the first time Li Lao Er's scornful remarks had been heard by Kang Xiaozi.
This made Kang Xiaozi have to look at Li Laoer again.
Although He'er on the side was peeling potatoes for customers, his ears were raised high to catch the movement here.
Li Laoer's words sounded quite domineering in He'er's ears.
This is quite different from his usual image of an honest and courteous banker.
He was now, and he was before, with such a manly sense of responsibility and fearlessness that He'er couldn't help but look at him secretly.
The more she looked at her, the gentler her eyes became, and the admiration in her heart that she had been trying to suppress began to rise again.
But He'er still held it back, lowered her head and looked away.
Because she knows that others are kind, have a good heart, and are enthusiastic and like to fight against injustice.
But this does not mean that he will accept his love.
After this period of reflection, He'er finally understood that love and other things cannot be confused.
Kang Xiaozi also returned to his stall to help He'er attract business.
As for Li Laoer, it's really strange.
He had been squatting here for a while and no one came to buy his glutinous rice. Even if someone came to look at it, he would give up after asking about the price and comparing it a little.
So he hadn't sold a single pill for so long.
And after just now, when he stood up for He'er in a fight and angrily criticized the fat woman, and even ignored the fat woman's brother, one of the small managers in Wa City, many people suddenly surrounded him. I walked over to the temporary stall and began to look at the ten kilograms of glutinous rice in the rice bag in his basket again.
After a while, you have one pound, she has two pounds, and he has three pounds, and the rice bag is emptied.
An aunt at the stall next to her secretly stuffed Li Laoer with a handful of vegetables and whispered to him: "Young man, you are so good, you have made us feel bad today!"
Li Laoer was stunned, and when he reacted, he laughed dumbly.
He didn't expect that he would generate a wave of business because of what happened before.
Looking at the empty rice bag and the more than two hundred coins in his pocket, Li Laoer felt that today's trip was worth it.
Not only did he get money in exchange, he also helped He'er and prevented her from being bullied by that fat woman.
Since everything was sold out, he couldn't stay here longer. When he came, he promised his elder brother and younger brother that he would go back to work in the fields as soon as everything was sold out.
He got up and came to He'er and Kang Xiaozi to say goodbye to them.
"Do you need me to help you sell it?" Li Laoer asked politely before leaving.
"I don't know much about the market, but I can help with weighing, or doing some hard work or something." Li Laoer added.
He'er looked at him with a smile and made a gesture.
It means "No need, they are busy."
Kang Xiaozi said with a smile: "There's no need for Brother Li. Let's just stay busy for a while. We'll wait until the sun gets a little brighter and we'll basically buy all the groceries we should buy and go home."
He'er gestured to the side again.
Kang Xiaozi and Li Laoer looked at He'er's sign language together.
This time, He'er was urging Li Laoer to go home quickly, while the sun wasn't too bright at the moment.
Kang Xiaozi also nodded and echoed He'er's words: "Li Laoer, you should go back as soon as you sell out. My eldest sister and I have to wait until the sun goes down to finish the work."
Selling from early morning to evening?
Li Laoer looked around at this noisy city filled with all kinds of strange smells. In such hot weather, the two of them had to stay here all day?
And it's still like this every day?
This money... is earned too hard!
Just Kang Xiaozi, he is a man. He has to support his wife and children at home, and he can’t do it without working hard.
But He'er, a weak-minded woman, was like this, it was so miserable.
Li Laoer's eyes looked at He'er with a hint of distress.
For a woman, it is worth staying at home and doing housework, raising chickens and ducks, etc. It is the man's job to make money to support the family.
He'er is like this, it's too hard.
"Okay, I'll go back first."
Li Laoer turned around and left, and soon disappeared from He'er's sight.
While Kang Xiaozi was greeting customers, he kept an eye on his sister from the corner of his eye.
Seeing the eldest sister's look as if she had lost her soul, Kang Xiaozi felt a little complicated.
The eldest sister looks like this... Most likely she still hasn't completely let go of missing Li Laoer.
This is Li Lao Er. You can't blame him for provoking trouble.
She came to town for serious business, and when she went to install the wooden cart earlier, if Li Laoer hadn't been here, I would have been bullied by the fat woman again.
Mr. Li and Mr. Li are really good people. It's no wonder that the eldest sister misses him.
If she were a woman, she wouldn't be able to help but be tempted when meeting a man like Li Laoer.
But what about the eldest sister’s unilateral temptation?
The concubine has a good intention and the husband is ruthless. It is destined to be a fantasy.
Kang Xiaozi continued to be busy.
At the same time, he also reminded He'er: "Sister, put your mind on serious things. Making money is the most important thing!"
He'er was a little embarrassed, nodded with a red face, and began to get involved in a new round of busy work.
Let's say that after Li Laoer left, he first used the money from selling glutinous rice to buy two kilograms of wheat flour and cut a kilogram of pork belly. These were the ingredients for the dumplings that the third brother had been thinking about for a long time.
When he was done, he brought his eldest brother a jar of five kilograms of sorghum wine.
Passing by the street in front of Wa City, I happened to see someone selling iced mung bean soup.
Li Laoer went up and asked the price.
The price is a bit expensive, a bowl costs five cents.
Li Lao'er looked at the little money left in his pocket and thought that He'er would have to stay in such a sweltering city for a whole day. Li Lao'er bargained with the boss and bought two bowls for nine cents.
Holding two bowls of ice-cold mung bean soup, he turned back to Wa City.
Speaking of the stall, He'er was already sweating profusely after working for a while, and the clothes behind her were soaked and stuck to her back.
The handkerchief she brought to wipe away her sweat was hung around her neck, and it was already so wet that she could squeeze water out of it.
