The sun-dried locusts cost two hundred cents per catty. After removing the weight of the basket, there are still eleven catties and eight taels left.
"A total of 2360 Wen." The old doctor fiddled with his abacus.
"Thank you." Niu Caohua took the silver and copper plates and thanked her repeatedly.
After going out, the cow's belly returned to normal. The father and daughter found a deserted place and counted the money.
Honey is 7600 Wen, and locust is 2360 Wen. Together they are 9960 Wen.
Niu Caohua took out all the copper plates and handed them to Niu Dadu. As for the silver, she kept it herself.
Niu Dadu looked at the copper plate handed over by his daughter. His hands were trembling, his heart was trembling, and his eyes were filled with tears. In his whole life, he had never seen such an old man with so much money.
Not even on the day I got married!
After calming down, he swallowed his saliva and started counting the money.
A copper plate, hehe.
Two copper plates, hehe.
Three copper plates. Hey hey hey.
…
Sixty coppers, hey hey hey hey...
There were a total of 960 copper coins. The cow squatted there for a long time and counted them, while making a weird laugh, which was quite impressive.
Taking the money bag handed over by Niu Caohua, Niu Dadu stuffed all the coins into it, making the money bag bulging.
Grinning widely.
"Dad, be careful, you are easy to be stolen." The bulging money bag was placed on his chest, and it was difficult not to let the thief miss him.
"Then, what should we do?" Niu Dadu covered his chest tightly with his hands, his face full of panic.
If this was stolen by a thief, he would not be alive!
"You put it in the basket and put it on the top of the cloth. Yes, that's it. This way it won't be conspicuous."
The Cow Grass Flower commands, and the Cow Pot Belly obeys.
"This way, it won't be stolen?" Niu Dadu was still worried and couldn't help but stare at the basket, looking at it twice every second.
"Don't look at it. I'm watching from behind. It won't be lost."
After persuading him for a long time, Niu Dadu finally relaxed a little bit, and the father and daughter hurriedly went shopping.
It was already afternoon after I finished my shopping. I was carrying a heavy load and hurried back.
They returned to the village in one go. It was already dark and they were both extremely tired.
The village was dark, no one lit a lamp, and there was no sound. Only a crescent moon hung high in the sky, lighting their way home.
Cow Caohua's legs were sore and swollen when she walked, and she wanted to lie down on the spot and sleep for three days and three nights. Looking at the cow's belly next to her, she was already panting like a cow, and her hair was wet with sweat. After all, he was still Carrying a load.
"Dad, we're almost home, let's take a rest." Niu Caohua felt that she would die suddenly if she didn't rest.
Everyone has unlimited potential. Obviously Niu Dadu is such a thin person with well-defined ribs, but he walked all the way without much rest and kept urging Niu Caohua to walk faster.
"Dad, you're not tired." Niu Dadu took a deep breath and kept walking.
Niu Caohua had no choice but to follow.
Dragging my almost useless legs, I finally arrived at the door of my house.
The door to the courtyard at home was actually open, and Niu Xiaodi was sitting on the steps, his little head twitching little by little, becoming drowsy.
As soon as I heard the noise, I immediately opened my eyes and saw my father and sister. I was so happy that I jumped directly into my sister's arms.
Niu Caohua was already extremely tired, and when she couldn't bear it any longer, both siblings fell down.
"Come down quickly." Niu Caohua said with difficulty. Unexpectedly, Niu Xiaodi looked like a little carrot head and was not light. It seemed that the recent food was indeed useful.
"oh."
"Have you had dinner?" Niu Caohua slumped on the chair, as if she had no bones.
"No, Mom said we would eat together when dad and sister come back." Niu Xiaodi shook his head.
"We bought meatloaf. It's in the basket. Mom, go find it out and eat it hot at night." Niu Caohua said without forgetting after taking the cold water Xiao Cuier handed her and drinking it down in one gulp.
She took a look at the kitchen just now. It was white porridge and pickles at night.
Niu Caohua hates eating porridge.
If you eat a bowl, you will definitely feel hungry in the middle of the night.
After eating two bowls, I couldn't eat at all and it was easy to go to the toilet.
The pickles were not tasty either. They were pickled by Lao Caibangzi and were salty and hard.
"Hey!" Xiao Cuier and Niu Xiaodi began to pick up the things in the basket.
The bag of patties was quickly found.
A dozen patties.
Xiao Cuihua took out five meat patties and put the rest back in their place.
"Sister, I miss you so much." Niu Xiaodi turned around and hugged her sister's legs again. With the little light from the oil lamp, you could see his admiring eyes.
"Are you good at home today?" Niu Caohua smiled and reached out to touch the furry little head.
The feel is getting better and better.
"I'm very good. I help my mother sweep the floor, and I even light the fire." Niu Xiaodi puffed out her chest and looked proud.
"That's great. My sister will take you out to play tomorrow."
"Okay~"
****
In the kitchen, the cow belly was sitting on the fire. Xiao Cuier held the pancakes on a stick and slowly baked them on the fire, turning them over a few times for fear of burning them.
"Tui'er, here you go." Niu Dadu took out a small piece of red floral cloth from his arms and handed it over.
"!!!" Xiao Cuier's eyes lit up and she almost lost her grip on the pancake in her hand.
The cow belly took the pancake and baked it skillfully.
Xiao Cuier, who had freed her hands, was just about to catch the flower cloth, but suddenly stopped, went to fetch water from the jar next to her, carefully washed her hands clean, then dried her hands, and then came back to pick up the flower cloth. .
Put it on your head and gesture back and forth: "Brother Du, do I look good?"
"nice."
"hey-hey......"
In Niu Dadu's eyes, Xiao Cui'er was dazzlingly beautiful at this moment. He seemed to be back when he was young again, seeing the girl washing clothes by the river with a bright smile.
Just eating meat pie with white porridge, Niu Caohua ate a whole big pancake by herself, and also drank a bowl of white porridge. Her stomach was so full that she couldn't help but loosen her belt.
Niu Xiaodi also drank half a bowl of white porridge and ate most of the pancake. He was full now, but he still didn't put down the pancake in his hand and ate every bite.
Xiao Cuier also ate a pancake and a bowl of white porridge, which made her burp.
Niu Dadu finished the remaining two pancakes and a small half of Niu Xiaodi.
When she came out of the kitchen, Niu Caohua's sharp eyes noticed that there was a piece of red floral cloth on her mother's head, which was really pretty.
I didn’t expect his father to be quite romantic.
So people who are afraid of society go shopping for floral fabrics alone.
After dinner, Niu Xiaodi was put to sleep. Niu Caohua took the needle and started to pick up the water.
I walked too much today, and I developed several blisters on my feet. Some of them were worn out and painful, and I didn’t even feel them anymore.
There are still two very strong blisters on the heels, which were not broken until we got home, and are shiny.
The cow grass and flowers are like this, and the cow belly in the next room is even worse.
There were also blisters on one foot, and there were purple-brown marks all over the shoulders and back, which were very swollen.
