Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 10 Chapter [-]: Make money
The things in the town are naturally better than those in the Ping'an Daji. Old Yuan Shi thought about home, so he went to the grain and oil store to buy some brown rice and coarse salt.

There is still some soybean oil at home, so I won't buy it for now.

After buying these, it was getting late, and without delay, the grandfather and grandson hurried to the town and returned to the village.

Wu Jin would only return to the village in the middle of the afternoon when he ran out of goods. At this time, of course, he couldn’t ride in his ox cart. Fortunately, the things on his back were not heavy, so he could walk home.

After walking not far, I got off the official road and took a small road, so that I could travel another quarter of an hour faster.

When I got home, it was almost time to apply.

Today was too tiring, and Song Qiu didn't want to continue going up the mountain to face the fungus, so he drank half a bowl of cold boiled water and sat down to rest.

In the kitchen, the old Yuan took out the money bag and happily talked to Song Qiu about today's income.

"The chicken fir fungus sold for 75 renminbi, a basket of mountain mushrooms sold for 69 renminbi, and the memorized vegetables also sold for 32 renminbi, which is quite a lot!"

"It cost two renminbi to ride an oxcart, five renminbi to stand a stall, four renminbi to eat noodles, 27 renminbi to buy cloth, and 35 renminbi to buy five catties of brown rice and a catty of salt. I paid back the money, plus yesterday’s money, Aqiu, do the math, how much do we have left?”

Song Qiu listened, and quickly figured it out in his head, "I sold 170 Wen for 73 Wen today, and I have 61 Wen left, after deducting the 64 Wen we gave to Grandpa Zhang's family, plus the money we bought yesterday. My son's income of [-] articles, there are still [-] articles!"

Old Yuan Shi listened, nodded, and put aside the one hundred coins that were strung together in his hand, and put all the remaining copper coins into the money bag.

"I'll send your grandpa Zhang's 54 cash to his family in a while, and I'll give you another [-] cash as a present for dinner tomorrow. We still have [-] cash left, and your uncle's family's [-] cash is about the same."

"When the repayment is over, I will save a dowry for you by selling a few more mushrooms."

Song Qiu is already thirteen this year. According to the customs in their area, thirteen can already start talking about kissing. If the girl stays for two more years, at most seventeen will have to marry the girl, otherwise, she will be an old girl.

Speaking of saving dowry, Song Qiu shrugged his brows.

She wasn't married at 26 in her previous life, and she's only thirteen now, so where is she going? She wanted to say that she was in no hurry.

But seeing her nanny chattering, all her heart was taking care of her, so she didn't say anything.

Having rested enough, old Yuan went to Zhang's next door with a bunch of money in his hands.

Mrs. Deng is teasing her little grandson in the main room, Mrs. Miao also has to do some housework, and Mrs. Deng usually takes care of the children.

This is her youngest grandson, who was raised next to her, so naturally it hurts a little more.

"I haven't watched it for a few days, Shidan'er is going to leave on the stool now!"

Old Yuan Shi also teased a few words, and then sent the copper coins in his hand, "Aqiu's illness is really thanks to Brother Zhang and sister-in-law."

"We have been dating for decades, who is with whom? Don't be polite to me. I said that I am not in a hurry for the money, so you won't take it? If you don't just take it, you can pay it back at any time." Old Deng Seeing her coming to pay back the money, she said right away.

Her words were not out of politeness, the Zhang and Song families had nothing to say, and they lived so close together.

"Why would I be courteous to you, sister-in-law? Ah Qiu was lucky yesterday and picked up some chicken fir mushrooms. You watched them too, and I sold them all today. I happen to have the money. I keep it as it is, and pay it back first." It's the same with you." Old Yuan said.

Old Mrs. Deng listened, and then she didn't say much, and took the money, "Your Aqiu has nothing to say, she's a good one, and I've liked her since I was a child."

Parents are happy to praise their own children, and the old Yuan smiled in his heart, and he still wanted to say something, and by the way, he praised Zhang's children.

When they got home, before it was dark, old Yuan Shi simply asked Song Qiu to check her figure, and cut the cloth bought today to make clothes for her.

Old Yuan's needlework is not very good. It is no problem to make a thick suit of clothes, but there is no need for embroidery.

Nowadays, the little girls in their place all wear the same styles, summer clothes, the top is a small sleeved shirt with cross-collar, and the bottom is a long long skirt.

The old Yuan quickly got started, grabbed the purple cloth and started making Luoshan.

Song Qiu watched from the side, the purple was made into the upper garment, and the remaining piece of black cloth was used as the skirt.

Purple and black.

Ok.

Song Qiu wanted to cover her eyes, but she couldn't bear the dirt anyway. The short clothes she was wearing now, the skirt was black. After all, she had to work, dragged around, and the color was not dark, so she couldn't wear it.

Now that she is poor, she can't be particular about it. She had just seen it in the cloth shop. The cheap coarse cloth is not only black and gray, but also red and purple, green, blue and brown.

If you want to have a beautiful light color, you can only get better cotton cloth.

Song Qiu imagined for a long time what this purple top and black skirt would look like, but he really couldn't imagine it, so he simply didn't want to.

Forget it, her body is like a skinny crake, she won't look good even in a phoenix robe.

Wear whatever you want, right now it's still about making money.

With surplus, let's think about beautiful things.

……

Before dawn, taking advantage of the dew, Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua went to the mountain to collect mushrooms.

After the sweetness of selling chicken fir fungus, Song Qiu opened his eyes wide and searched carefully, hoping to meet another chicken fir mushroom, even a clump.

Zhang Lihua also wanted to find the Gallus pilosula, and she looked for it very carefully.

It's a pity that this thing is hard to find, and I have been picking it up all morning, but I haven't seen it yet.

The sun gradually came up, and the dew on the mountain melted away. Song Qiu packed up the mountain mushrooms and went down to Liu Caigui's house for dinner with her grandma.

In addition to the old Deng family and Zhang Laodou, the Zhang family next door was going to have a banquet. Generally, two people went to the family.

The four of them went to the village together, and when they arrived at Liu Caigui's house, there were already people sitting in the courtyard.

Old Yuan Shi and old Deng Shi handed the accompanying gift to Liu Caigui's daughter-in-law Huang Caihua, and then went to sit at a table.

There are eight seats at a table, the men sit with the men, it is good to drink, and the women sit with the women, which is just right.

Everyone greeted each other, and when it came to leisure, Song Qiu just followed old Yuan Shi honestly.

In a blink of an eye, there were not many little girls who came to eat.

There are only 24 families in Songshan Village, and they all have a good relationship. Naturally, every family has to go to this kind of banquet.

In addition to the villagers, there are only Liu Caigui's relatives in other villages, and there are not many of them. At most, they can sit at seven or eight tables.

So there are only eight tables in the yard.

No one in Songshan Village owns any land, so they talk about things that have nothing to do with the land when they get together.

The men talk about the mountains, and the women don't leave their parents behind.
