In the yard, under the jujube tree.
Niu Caohua tucks the corners of her clothes around her waist, holds on to the tree trunk as thick as a bowl, braces her horse, and starts swinging.
The dates fell all over the sky like rain, falling to the ground, and there were also baskets, baskets, and dustpans.
Niu Xiaodi and Niu Ergou were standing under the tree, stretching out their little hands and looking up at the red jujubes on the top of the tree. Suddenly, he was hit in the face by these dates falling from the tree, and ran away with his head in his hands.
Running and laughing at the same time.
Niuergou has become a frequent visitor to the house. He comes here whenever he has nothing to do, and eats and drinks. He even brings his friends from the village over. The previously silent courtyard is now often filled with laughter.
Niu Ergou came early this morning, bringing two eggs and a small snack.
The snacks were shaped like plum blossoms, only as big as a palm, and smelled slightly sweet of plum blossoms. The snacks were eaten by three people, and they were quite delicious.
I heard that the daughter of the Li Zheng family who married into a wealthy family was sent here. It was some snack from Hefangzhai, which was ridiculously expensive.
The jujubes on the tree have long been ripe. The jujubes below were picked and eaten when they were just a little red. The jujubes on the top of the tree escaped. Until now, they are completely red. A bunch of little sparrows were jumping around.
When the cow grass flower was shaken vigorously, most of the red dates on the top of the tree fell off. There were also a few die-hards who poked them with bamboo poles a few times and all fell off.
Not to mention, this year's jujubes are not as abundant as usual. I picked up more than ten kilograms of the ones on the top of the tree.
Even if these dates were sent to the market, they would not be sold for much money. Niucaohua decided to keep them and make them into snacks.
Red date cake, candied dates, dried dates.
This year our family has a good harvest, and we have received a lot of money. The money from selling pigs a few days ago was also divided among Li Zheng. According to households, each household received 744 cash, and the extra 4 cash was kept in Li Zheng's hands. Next time I wait for the salesman to come, buy some sweets for the children to eat.
Niu Dadu got the money, took it home and gave it to Niu Caohua.
Very conscious.
744 Wen, not all the Cow Grass Flowers were kept, 4 Wen was given to Niu Xiaodi, 40 Wen was given to Niu Dadu, and the remaining 700 Wen was kept by myself.
Now Niu Caohua has more than eight taels of silver in his hands, which is already a huge sum of money.
As for the two brothers who stole the money, they were sent to the government that night and sent to prison. Anyone who finds a human trafficker like this will punish him.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong..." The rhythmic sound of rattles sounded in the village.
"It's the salesman, the salesman is here~" Niu Ergou's eyes widened, and he pulled Niu Xiaodi and ran out.
Niu Xiaodi ran after him for a few steps, thought of something, broke free from Niu Ergou's hand, ran into the room, and soon ran out covered in ashes.
Seeing this, Cow Caohua knew what he was going to do.
I gave Niu Xiaodi four cents a few days ago, but he was so happy that he was cheerful all day long.
Originally, he kept the copper coins close to his body, but he was dishonest when sleeping. When he woke up, the coins scattered everywhere. Some were on the bed, and there was still one that could not be found alive or dead. Finally, Niu Xiaobai helped and found it under the bed.
After this incident, Niu Xiaodi became wiser. He hid the copper plate and did not tell anyone, thinking that he was very hidden.
In fact, Niu Caohua had discovered it a long time ago. Niu Xiaobai even took out the small rag bag from under the bed and later secretly put it back.
After taking the money, Niu Xiaodi ran and danced away with Niu Ergou.
Niu Caohua thought for a while, then took a few copper coins and followed.
Without him, I was just curious about what novelty the salesman had.
Of course, Niu Xiaobai couldn't miss such excitement and nestled in Niu Caohua's arms.
There was a lot of excitement under an old locust tree in the village.
Not only the children in the village, but also the adults came out to surround the salesman.
After squeezing for a long time, Niucaohua finally squeezed into the front of the crowd and saw the salesman.
Salesmen come here every year, and the salesmen are different every year.
This year's salesman is a lean young man, about in his twenties, with ordinary appearance and dark complexion. He has a smile on his face and greets everyone enthusiastically.
There are two baskets placed next to me, and two wooden boxes are placed on the baskets, and various small things are placed in the boxes.
There are snacks, hair flowers, toys, and some facial grease and other items.
The most popular ones are snacks and headdresses.
The children were all drooling around the snacks, and the older girls were discussing them around the headdress.
Red headbands cost one penny for two pieces, but hair flowers are much more expensive, five cents each, and you can choose any color.
Niu Caohua looked away after a few glances, turned to look for Niu Xiaodi and the others, and soon saw several people of about the same age drooling around the candy bars on the other side of the vendor.
If the salesman hadn't been keeping an eye on them, they would have drooled all over the candy bars.
The light yellow candy cubes are cut into square shapes, about the same size as a copper plate, and cost a penny each, which is quite expensive.
Niu Xiaodi looked at the candy bar, squeezed the copper plate in his hand, and was reluctant to buy it.
"Give me, let me..." A tall figure squeezed in. Those who were squeezed to the back wanted to curse, but when they saw this man's appearance, they stopped swearing. Went back.
The person who came was none other than the youngest son of the Li Zheng family, Niu Shanma.
He stretched out his hand, holding four polished copper plates: "Seller, give me four pieces of candy."
The salesman looked up with a smile on his face, found a big leaf, and put the candy on it: "Okay, your four pieces of candy."
While passing the candy, he didn't forget to pick up the four copper plates.
"Come on, little guys, come with me." Niu Shanma greeted, and all the children followed.
"Oh~ share the candy~"
"Uncle~ You are so kind~" This dog-legged voice sounds like a cow or a dog.
