Lin Xiangrong didn't like to eat alone, which didn't mean that everything had to be shared. Everyone had it, but if she was the only one who was given goodies secretly, she would share half of the food.
But instead of giving it to the public to let everyone know that she was being favored, she gave it to the person who gave it to her.
Wang Cuilan smiled lovingly, and touched Lin Xiangrong's head. Her slightly curved eyebrows were kind and kind, which neutralized the harshness and cunningness on her face, and she actually looked kind-hearted.
"My dear grandson, you eat alone and don't want to drink milk."
Parents in this era have a common problem. If they have any delicious or good things, they give it to their children first, and themselves last.
"It's okay, let's eat together. I just ate something and I'm not hungry now." Lin Xiangrong shook her head and handed half an egg to Wang Cuilan's mouth, urging her to eat it.
Seeing her granddaughter's stubbornness, Wang Cuilan sighed helplessly and could only swallow the egg. She whispered: "There is another egg. I will make an egg custard for dinner tonight. Several kids can share a few bites. Remember to eat it quickly." "
"good."
The heavy rain continued for almost half a month, and the crops in the fields were all soaked with water. Those who were not afraid of water grew wildly, and those who were afraid of water were already soaked to death.
Lin Dawei has aged a lot in just half a month. He counted on his fingers how much food he would have for the winter. The more he counted, the louder he sighed. He rolled a leaf cigarette, his old face full of exhaustion.
It's already mid-June, and logically speaking, it's already summer. It's the right time to harvest crops once and plant the next wave of crops in the autumn harvest. However, the heavy rain in the past half month has directly canceled the harvest. The heat in everyone's heart.
Look at this, God, I'm afraid the heavy rain won't stop for ten days and a half!
During this time, Lin Xiangrong had also been sick. Although she did not have a high fever, the low-grade fever kept making her stay in the room without going anywhere.
Lu Xiao came to visit twice and brought her meat pies bought from the town: "It has been raining heavily in the town, and not many people came out of the stall. My uncle wrote a letter saying that he would postpone his arrival for a month."
He spread out the paper bag and returned the textbook handed over by the third rich man. He was already familiar with the contents of those books and could even recite them by heart. When the third rich man asked, he humbly said that he had only read them once.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Xiao." Lin Xiangrong got up with a pale face, wiped his hands with paper, grabbed a meat pie, took a bite, and asked in a low voice: "Have you contacted the merchant?"
The purpose of going to town these few times was to get rid of the blue and white bowl. Even though Lin Xiangrong was not in a hurry, she started to become anxious when she saw that the food at home was gradually declining. , has always been frail and sickly. He usually looks lively and full of energy, but in fact he is never-ending when he is sick.
"It's not very suitable. I've asked Grandpa Jiang to help build the bridge."
Grandpa Jiang is the old man of Fanxiang Pavilion.
He had no children in his life. His wife left early and he never married. He spent his whole life clinging to his legacy and a shop, and he didn't have an heir when he got old. But looking at Grandpa Jiang's affection for Lu Xiao, he probably wanted to He raised Lu Xiao as his heir.
Same thing again.
It seems that Lu Xiao is really the villain Jiang Yan.
Lin Xiangrong's mood was complicated; "That's right, I'm sorry to trouble Grandpa Jiang and Brother Xiaoxiao."
"It's no trouble. By the way, help me take a look at this."
Lu Xiao wiped his head with a towel and took out a black purse from a small broken bag behind him. Inside was a red jade pendant. The dark carvings on it were not delicate but the lines were very smooth.
In addition, the jade pendant is hollowed out and carved, with a blooming plum blossom in the middle. The edges are made with angular textures, and the connections between some thin lines and dark carvings are very natural.
"It's a good thing."
She played around with it: "The fish should be of the ice species, right?"
He didn't have any good tools at hand, so he could only use a magnifying glass to observe carefully. Lin Xiangrong thought about the contents of the "Appraisal" book and evaluated it for a while: "How much does it cost?"
Lu Xiao grinned: "Do you still remember the uncle who sold you the blue and white bowl?"
"Ah, remember."
Lin Xiangrong, who was very impressed by the decadent uncle, nodded: "Did he sell it to you?"
"Yes, uncle has cheered up. When I was looking at the goods, he took it away. He took out this jade pendant and asked me if I would keep it." Lu Xiao stretched out a slap: "Fifty yuan."
How many?
Fifty dollars?
This is too expensive.
Lin Xiangrong's eyes widened, and she looked at Lu Xiao in disbelief. Then she lowered her head to look at the jade pendant spread out in her palm. After she hesitated for a while, she asked with a complicated mood: "You didn't bargain?"
This jade pendant doesn't look like it's worth the price.
I didn't expect that although you look very smart with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you are actually a fool on the inside, and you would be tricked into buying a jade pendant that costs one to fifty yuan and is not very well made.
"No." Lu Xiao shook his head.
Lin Xiangrong looked at her with a look that said, "Are you a fool?" She became slightly annoyed and said, "Do I look like someone who will be cheated?"
He explained what happened in detail.
It turned out that the uncle was leaving the town to work hard in another place, and his wife was pregnant again. After being depressed for a while due to the death of his last daughter, he cheered up again, so he was ready to get rid of everything he could. .
Then I met Lu Xiao.
The uncle took fifty yuan and told him a piece of news: "The black market is in the abandoned street in the south of the town. Just look for it. You will definitely be able to find it. But I tell you, you have to follow." Tell me some rules."
"In this black market, you can't talk, let alone show your face. Everyone has to wear a mask or a hat. You can't regret what you took off, and you can't regret after receiving it. Because there is a supervisory bureau in charge, it's not too chaotic here. "
After all, the leaders of the country and the small town are keeping an eye on it, fearing that something will go wrong in the black market. After all, there are a lot of cultural relics in this generation, and the black market can be considered a serious channel. There are petty thefts. And the whole conflict is normal.
In order to prevent chaos, someone from the Supervision Bureau will keep an eye on the situation.
When Lu Xiao heard this, he immediately felt that it was worth it.
"Well, I made a profit." Lin Xiangrong had a serious face. After coughing several times, Lu Xiao patted him on the back: "As expected of you, Brother Xiao Xiao!"
Your luck and ability are so good!
This kind of good thing can happen to him, and other people don't want it. He just met the uncle once and bought something. It's really admirable.
Lu Xiao brought the words and chatted with Lin Xiangrong for a while. Seeing that the rain had subsided a little, he put away the jade pendant and left in a hurry.
He heard from Ruan Qing that Liu Meng was coming as a guest today!
He had to go back and keep an eye on it.
