Lu Zhen.
It was another market day. Like the people in the deserted village, Uncle Hua got up early. Because he was so excited, he didn't even have time to wash his face, so he headed straight for Luzhen. Originally, I just went alone, because it was quite convenient to visit the kiln.
However, maybe God was not good to me, and my little flower had to follow me, and for a while I no longer felt like visiting a brothel. But what can I buy for Xiaohua here?
I spent a day shopping around Lu Town with Xiao Hua. As the sun set, it was time to end the show, but the street was still bustling with people. The woman who was coming to see her off made Uncle Hua dazzled and wanted to talk to her. He was talking, but Xiaohua was following him, which was very inconvenient and helpless for a while. After wandering on the street for a day, Xiaohua suddenly saw a luminous pearl on a street stall. It was really glowing, but the vendor asked for a lot of money. He couldn't even touch it without tens of thousands of dollars.
Xiaohua's room was already quite dark, but with this thing, it was quite good. Moreover, this night pearl seemed to have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, so when she saw this thing, Xiaohua was stunned and couldn't bear to leave. , Uncle Hua must buy this thing. However, the cost of this thing was so high that he was definitely not able to afford it, and for the time being he could only look at it with dismay.
"This is good, buy this." The boss pointed at a bunch of pearl necklaces and said to Uncle Hua.
"How much does it cost?" Hua Bo asked.
At this time, Xiaohua took the pearl necklace in her hand and hung it around her neck. She looked very beautiful for a moment. With this pearl necklace, she would no longer be so worthless in front of the people in the deserted village. . People will think highly of themselves, and ordinary bad people, after seeing their own string of pearls, will feel ashamed and dare not think anything wrong about themselves.
At this time, the boss saw Xiaohua holding her pearl necklace, so he snatched it away. He seemed to be very afraid that she would rob him of his treasure. Seeing this, Xiaohua was speechless for a moment. This requires my father to get this pearl necklace for him no matter what, otherwise, he may even say that he doesn't want to live anymore.
"How much does it cost?" Uncle Hua looked at the boss and asked.
The boss remained silent, because inadvertently, he saw the Jiefang shoes worn by Uncle Hua. The person wearing these shoes wanted to buy these shoes, so go ahead and dream. I ignored it for a moment, just lowered my head and kept taking care of my stall. Although my stall was a bit small, it was not a fake. Every one of them was genuine. Last time, it was stolen by some criminals because of my carelessness. Quite a few.
"Let's go," the boss said casually without even looking at Uncle Hua. He continued to smoke cigars and take care of his stall, "You can't afford it."
"How much is it?" Hua Bo was almost angry. How could this man look down on others so much?
Hearing Uncle Hua's urgent question, the vendor glanced sideways at him and stretched out a finger in front of Uncle Hua, but the look on his face was still so contemptuous of him. Xiaohua glanced at her father and knew that he didn't have much money, so she was not ready to buy it at the moment. She, who was usually very sensible, could not embarrass her father, who was a good person at this time.
"Let's go, we won't buy it." Xiaohua persuaded her father.
"One dollar?" Uncle Hua broke away from Xiaohua's hand and asked.
"One dollar?" The boss smiled disdainfully. Then he looked at the sunset and saw that it was getting late, and the people going to the market in Lu Town were gradually dispersing, so he was ready to close the stall and go home, otherwise In other words, if gangsters come out, my own family property is not enough to rob him.
"How much is it?" Hua Bo asked again.
However, the boss had already put away his pearl necklace, put everything into a leather bag, and left without saying anything to Uncle Hua. For these shameless people with little money, the boss has never been very cold, and it is a waste of words to talk to them.
"How much is it?" Uncle Hua got a little angry when he saw that the boss had already walked away.
"If you can't afford it, it's all in vain." The boss spat and left like a gust of wind.
Seeing the boss leaving, Hua Bo and Xiao Hua no longer feel comfortable staying in Lu Town, because night is about to fall, and Lu Town is already quite unstable these days, with unscrupulous gangsters often taking advantage of the night to rob money. Although Uncle Hua doesn't have much money, he can't let others take it away for nothing. Otherwise, how will the living expenses of such a large family be raised?
"I like that pearl necklace so much. All the daughters of wealthy families in deserted villages wear it, but dad, can't you buy one for me?" Xiaohua looked at her father and asked.
"No, I bought this because I had no place to spend it. This thing can't be used as food, so why buy it? It's better to buy a few kilograms of meat to eat." Uncle Hua said to his little flower.
"Dad," Xiaohua shouted, "don't you have any money?"
"It's not that I don't have money, it's just that the crops in the mountains are not harvesting well. It's a drought today, so the crops can hardly grow. Therefore, I really can't afford it," Hua Bo said.
At this time, several girls walked past Xiao Huazhi and put their pearl necklaces under the sun. They shone brightly and were dazzling. Xiaohua couldn't help but look at the pearl necklaces hung on the chests of the girls. She liked it very much for a while, but they didn't let Xiaohua see it. Seeing Xiaohua looking at her baby intently, she took her baby away. Put away.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to wear it and buy it yourself?" a girl said.
"I have no money." Xiaohua lowered her head and replied softly.
"I want to wear this even if I don't have money, just go ahead and dream." The girl said.
"Hey, we really don't have any money. Don't wear that pearl necklace. Let's go back and eat more meat, ah?!" Uncle Hua looked at Xiaohua and asked.
After saying this, Uncle Hua put a string of shells around Xiao Hua's neck. Although it was not as good as a pearl necklace, it was still very beautifully polished. In terms of craftsmanship, it was really nothing to say. But facing the shell necklace, Xiaohua said nothing and threw it away, as if wearing it was a shame.
The father and daughter returned to the deserted village again, but Xiaohua was in a very bad mood without the pearl necklace. Uncle Hua had put a lot of meat slices in her rice bowl, but Xiaohua wouldn't eat any of it. I have no appetite for this meat.
The news that Uncle Hua could not afford the pearl necklace soon spread throughout the deserted village. People laughed at Uncle Hua, saying that he had no ability to make their daughter look beautiful. However, Hua Bo also had a plan to deal with these rumors. What was the use of that Lao Shizi? Hanging it around the neck was quite heavy, and it was also extremely disadvantageous in a fight. If the enemy caught it, what would it be? Pearl necklace, this is equivalent to hanging yourself, right?
But when Shaoqiu heard this, he stood on his patio and sighed, wondering if he could buy Xiaohua her favorite pearl necklace? But as a scholar with a poor family, how could I have the spare money to buy this pearl necklace?
I don't study much anymore. I want to work hard in the mountains and plant these cold potatoes. It seems that there will be enough rain this year and a bumper harvest should not be a problem. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can plant sweet potatoes in such a large field and sell them all. It can be said that you can make a lot of money, right?
As long as you have money, you will immediately go to Lu Town to buy the pearl necklace for Xiaohua and give it to Xiaohua as a gift. This can be said to be quite good. But I don’t know how. It seemed that Hua Bo knew his intention. When he was busy on the mountain, he sat aside and couldn’t get angry for some reason, and he kept scolding his mother.
For the sake of Xiaohua's sake, Shaoqiu didn't care about it. He knew that he was disturbing him and wanted him to scold him and waste a lot of time on his work. If you don't listen for a while, you put a lot of dirt in your ears, and you can almost hear nothing at all.
The weather is quite good and there is plenty of rain. Once you plant the sweet potato, it will grow into a large length within a few days, and the sweet potato under the soil will continue to expand. It won’t take much. Over time, this has grown. It was also because time waited for no one. Otherwise, Shaoqiu would not have worked so hard to buy Lu Zhen's pearl necklace for Xiaohua.
Of course Uncle Hua knew his intentions. Wasn't he working so hard just to sleep with his daughter? It could almost be said that he was quite angry for a moment, so he rushed forward and slapped Shaoqiu on the back, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious.
When Shaoqiu woke up, he found that it was already night, but why was he lying on the mountain? At this time, he thought of Uncle Hua, but there was no real and credible evidence, so he did not dare to say anything nonsense. , maybe it was because he was too tired that he fainted? Looking at the land I planted, I saw that it was quite different from the plan I had made. It can also be said that it was quite inappropriate to not complete the task on this day.
So he kept working under the moonlight. When it was completely dark, there were no people on the mountain. It seemed that I was alone on the mountain. It would be quite inappropriate if I didn't go back.
But remembering that Xiaohua didn't have a pearl necklace, it was almost impossible to hold her head up in front of the people in the deserted village. For a moment, I didn't care about my hard work, and started working desperately again.
