In the small courtyard of the Su family, the family already knew that Changdong had brought cotton back through Du Buguo's shouting.
After Du Bugui and Duan Dao had discussed what color material to buy for the cubs, the men had discussed how to change the cotton, and the women had discussed what styles to cut for new clothes... They turned around and found that the four cubs at home had disappeared.
"Tianbao, did Uncle Changdong really come back with such a big sack of cotton?" Su An took the lead and took his two younger brothers and sister to the door of the opposite courtyard, trying to slip through the crack in the door to see the "so big" thing. How big is the bag?
Tianbao squatted next to his brothers with his knees in his hands. He nodded and gestured with his hands, "It's so big."
Su Wen's eyes lit up, "Wow! That's a lot of cotton! I heard my father tell my uncle that they had an agreement with Uncle Changdong. If they can get cotton, they will make us new clothes!"
Su Wu's face was full of longing, "Then I will make a bigger one so that I can still wear it next year and the year after that!"
Growing up, they rarely wore new cotton-padded clothes. The previous cotton-padded jackets were made from old cotton batting at home, with only a thin layer.
When the weather is too cold, adults will stuff some straw or reed catkins into the layers of their thin coats, and that will be their winter clothes for the whole winter.
Tianbao held his little face and looked at his brothers' happy faces, but he couldn't quite feel their mood.
But a long time ago, she seemed to be happy if she had new clothes to wear.
At this time, there was a sound of pulling the door bolt from behind the courtyard door. The door was quickly opened. The little kid was startled and it was too late to run away.
It's so embarrassing to be caught peeping!
Su Wu had an idea and grinned at the person who appeared at the door, "Hello, Uncle Changdong! We are catching crickets!"
"Changdong" seemed to be frightened when he saw the children in front of the door. The boss pressed against the door panel and looked away, "You came to see the cotton...I heard and opened the door."
You three bastards, "..." It felt like the shame on Qiangpao was torn off again by Uncle Changdong.
Tianbao was completely different from his brothers. Hearing this, Xing'er blinked and grinned, "Uncle Changdong, can you see cotton?"
My brothers would be happier if they could see cotton.
"Changdong" glanced at her quickly, nodded quickly, and opened the courtyard door against the door panel, "Okay..."
"Wow! Thank you, Uncle Changdong!" The three boys were so happy that they jumped up from the ground and rushed into the yard.
Tianbao stood up, looked back at the yard first, then turned back to the man and said, "Thank you, Uncle Changdong."
The little kid has a soft voice and his words are waxy.
"No thanks." Chang Dong's eyes were half lowered, still not looking at the person.
When the little kid walked past him, and the weak air flow caused by it crossed the tip of his nose, "Changdong" frowned.
Has a herbal smell.
But not special.
It can be seen that this baby has nothing hidden in his arms.
Could it be that the large-leaf gentian she casually took out that day was really an accident?
Impossible, he had never strayed.
Hiding his expression, "Chang Dong" walked up to the children who had stopped after rushing into the yard.
The sack containing cotton was placed in the yard, and the mouth of the sack was tied with a cloth tie. The children did not untie it directly, but turned to look at him eagerly.
"Long Winter" untied the cloth bag.
The mouth of the bag opens, revealing the white and soft cotton inside, exuding the unique fresh smell of cotton.
"There's really a lot of cotton..." The three boys stared at the cotton with bright eyes, "Can we make more quilts?"
The children wanted to continue the discussion, but they saw that the mouth of the bag that had been opened just now was tied up again.
"???" The kids looked up.
"Changdong" avoided their eyes and muttered, "I can only take a look. I wanted to exchange something, but the shopkeeper said I didn't get anything in exchange. I will be punished."
"What do you want in exchange? Dried meat?"
"Cotton is expensive, and dried meat is not good enough. I need something better to replace it."
This puts the children in a difficult position. The best thing in their house is the endless supply of dried meat, and there are still more than half of the bags in the kitchen.
If Uncle Changdong doesn't want it, then he won't be able to get new cotton. They still want to make quilts for their grandparents, Grandpa Du, and Uncle Broken Knife!
Su An is the boss, and he has a boss attitude. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and ask my dad!"
Su Wen and Su Wu immediately obeyed the order and ran to the opposite house.
Little Sweet Baby was last again. She looked at the big bag of cotton, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked the man, "Want something nice in exchange?"
"Changdong" his eyes darkened and he nodded, "Yes."
Then I saw the little baby reaching into his arms to dig out.
He had seen this action before, and the narrow eyes hidden behind the mask narrowed invisibly.
"This, sell it for ten taels, one pill!" Wazi took it out with his little hand, holding a few small green pills in his palm, "I have five!"
Wa'er pointed to the big sack again, "Would you like to change it?"
"Changdong"'s narrowed eyes slowly returned to normal, and his tone was very soft, "The shopkeeper said that I don't want pills. If I have good medicinal materials, I can exchange them for more cotton, which is enough for your family."
No one came out of the courtyard opposite. From this distance, he didn't have to stutter when he spoke.
During this period, he kept his eyes firmly on the little baby to prevent him from missing anything suspicious.
The little kid said oh and left.
"..."
After a while, "Chang Dong" crushed the small stones under his soles to calm his anger.
He had a ridiculous feeling of being tricked just now.
Tianbao bounced back home. When she entered the door, she was picked up by the old man and hugged her. He pinched her little face and smiled, "Did you see the cotton?"
"See, Bai, soft." Tianbao was a little disappointed, and pursed his lips, "Uncle Changdong doesn't want jelly beans."
That was the most valuable thing she had.
The baby's little hand also pinched the old man's cheek, "Grandpa Du, the jelly beans are sold for ten taels, one?"
real?
"Of course, the things made by Grandpa Du are priceless! Everywhere I pick up cow dung and rub it into dung particles, there are people rushing to buy them! The guy across the street doesn't know what he's selling!"
Duandao stood two steps away from the old and young with his arms folded, and suddenly said, "Tianbao, you didn't exchange the treasure for it, did you?"
"No." Tianbao patted his chest to prove that he was good, "The treasure is not worth anything."
She's not stupid.
In my previous life, I turned into a pear and was locked up in a glass room.
In this life, things cannot be taken out to outsiders, and they cannot be taken away regardless of whether they are valuable or not.
Because Tianbao doesn’t want to die now.
After listening to Wa'er's words, Duandao tilted his head and coughed slightly to hide his smile.
Du Bugui was the most satisfied, "Let's go, Grandpa Du, go get the cotton!"
"Good stuff?" Do you have it?
"Tsk, when buying things in the Exile Land, the best thing to use is not money, but fists, Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
The Su family was still wondering how to get cotton, "..."
Headache.
Du Lao wanted to grab something again.
"Old Du, wait, let's go talk about this, let's go talk!" A group of people rushed out of the kitchen.
The poisonous old man had already climbed over the wall and flew to the other side, "What a waste of time!"
Landed and knocked on the door.
When the door opened, Du Buguo punched the person who opened the door, hitting the door directly.
