Seeing Zou running away, Xu Zhengxiang finally got rid of the bad breath in his chest.
Yang Feng quickly stretched out her hand to help Ye Luoxin up. Ye Luoxin turned around and asked, "Mom, how do you know about my family's past?"
"My second brother told me about it after asking about it." Xu Zhengxiang said.
"He was afraid that I would think you were a disaster, so he went to inquire about this information and told me that he was really right. That Mr. Zou is not a good person at first glance. I am so old and I can't even understand this little thing. ?"
Xu Zhengxiang said that she was just and awe-inspiring, but she still refused to admit that her attitude toward Ye Luoxin changed because of the two wild geese that fell on the wedding day.
Her words reminded Ye Luoxin of the man who had been away from home for many days. It was already the twelfth day, and Ye Luoxin suddenly realized that she had been counting the days silently since he left.
…
There was not much money in hand, and Xu Zhengxiang had no intention of buying new clothes.
Besides, Yang Feng and Ye Luoxin are both daughters-in-law. Although Ye Luoxin is newlywed, Yang Feng has always been obedient over the years and cannot be partial to one or the other.
But just now Mr. Zou actually laughed at their shabby clothes!
snort! Even if Xu Zhengxiang eats one less bite, she cannot be underestimated.
With this idea in mind, she took Yang Feng and Ye Luoxin into the clothing store.
It is spring, and the clothes in the store have changed to new styles, and they are all in colorful and beautiful colors.
The three ladies were dazzled by the sight and thought every piece was beautiful.
Finally, when I asked about the price, the cheapest set of ready-made clothes cost 200 Wen, and buying two pieces cost 400 Wen. Xu Zhengxiang still couldn't bear the money.
"Mom, I don't need to buy clothes. I still have three or four sets at home, and they are not worn out." Yang Feng said.
Ye Luoxin also said: "Mom, I don't need it either."
"I'll buy it if I tell you to." Xu Zhengxiang's stubborn temper also grew.
But she couldn't afford ready-made clothes, so she took her two daughters-in-law to a nearby cloth shop.
The fabrics in the fabric shop are also very new, but most of the good-looking ones are not cheap.
The landlady saw that the three of them had been choosing for a long time without making up their minds about what to buy, so she knew that these were patrons who didn't have enough money.
She took out a piece of light cyan material from under the counter and said to Xu Zhengxiang: "Sir, would you like to take a look at this piece of material? This piece of material is of good quality and bright in color. The pattern is a bit old, but it's cheap. It's not worth it." For twenty feet of material, just give me 200 Wen."
"200 Wen!"
Xu Zhengxiang calculated in his mind that 200 was exactly the price of a piece of ready-made clothing. If she makes it herself, she can still have some left over to make two sets of clothes out of these materials, so it's still a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
Seeing Xu Zhengxiang's hesitation, the landlady persuaded her again: "If you can buy this material at this price, it is already very cheap. If you don't like the old patterns, I have some rags here. This pile costs you five cents. Go back and fight for it." Wouldn’t it look better if you put a little more on it?”
Xu Zhengxiang looked at the so-called rags. They were actually as wide as a palm. It was enough to get some shoe soles back, so she said, "Then I only need these."
"These rags can't be put together into one piece of clothing." The landlady said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I bought it for other uses." Xu Zhengxiang finally made the decision.
The landlady's face didn't look so good.
The big business was not done, and in the end I sold some rags.
But fly legs are also meat and can be sold for 5 cents.
She packed the rags together and sold them all to these three people.
Xu Zhengxiang carried the fabrics packed by the landlady and took her two daughters-in-law to buy 8 chickens and a small bag of brown rice, then drove back in the car.
"I don't have money to buy clothes, but it's not a problem to buy soles for one person. There are a lot of good materials in this pile of rags. I can make two pairs of good-looking shoe uppers. I'm really lucky today." Xu Zhengxiang said on the way back. think.
But she didn't expect that there would be better news waiting for her at home.
…
The three of them returned home, and Ye Luoxin noticed at a glance that there were many things in the yard.
"Is Xiao Mu back?" she thought.
When he walked into the main room, he saw that, as expected, not only Xiao Mu was back, but also Xiao Song and Xiao Changhe were in the room.
The three of them were gathered together and didn't know what they were looking at.
"What are the three of you doing, chattering together in a mysterious manner? Did the second child get another treasure?" Xu Zhengxiang was very curious.
"Shh!" Xiao Changhe raised his head and extended his middle finger towards Xu Zhengxiang, looking mysterious and solemn.
"What?" Xu Zhengxiang rarely saw Xiao Changhe like this, so he immediately lowered his voice and leaned forward to take a look.
Yang Feng followed closely behind.
Ye Luoxin did not dare to step forward, so she stood at the door and looked around. She happened to see Xiao Mu raise his head with a smile in his eyes, which was much livelier than his usual cold face.
"Come here." Xiao Mu waved towards Ye Luoxin.
Ye Luoxin stepped lightly and walked over with full curiosity.
When she came closer, Xiao Mu deliberately stepped aside to let her get closer.
"Look." Xiao Mu's deep voice sounded in Ye Luoxin's ears, making her ears feel numb.
She lowered her head and saw that the bamboo basket was covered with thick moss. On top of the moss, a human-shaped plant thicker than a finger was lying there. Its body was white, with a few green leaves on its head, and the bottom of the leaves. Tie a red thread.
"This... this is ginseng!" After all, Xu Zhengxiang knew a lot and could tell what the humanoid plant was at a glance.
"Ginseng?" Ye Luoxin couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
I have often seen it in books before, and I have also eaten it sliced, powdered, and dried in boxes. This is the first time I have seen it so fresh.
No wonder this thing has a red rope tied to it. According to tradition, a red rope must be tied when digging ginseng, for fear that it will run away when it hears people talking.
"This thing must be worth a lot of money!" Yang Feng's eyes widened.
"Yes." Xiao Mu nodded, "My master dug up one of similar size before and sold it for 50 taels of silver."
"Then isn't this also..." Yang Feng covered her mouth and did not continue.
"Not only this one, there's another one underneath." Xiao Mu said, opening a layer of moss, and there was a ginseng of about the same size lying underneath.
"Old man." Xu Zhengxiang trembled at the sight.
She shook her hands and groped for support on Xiao Changhe's body. After finally getting over the tension, she continued: "Isn't this a dream?"
"Mom, it's true! It's really ginseng!" Yang Feng pinched her thigh and shouted out.
"Shut up!"
Xiao Song covered Yang Feng's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down."
"Oh, yes, yes, keep your voice down so that no one else can hear you."
Yang Feng ran out as she spoke. Ye Luoxin was wondering what she was going to do when she saw Yang Feng quickly inserted the door with her hands and feet, and even locked it inside.
