Transmigration to become a peasant girl

Chapter 34
Yang Chan'er took the money in Zhao's hand, weighed it, and looked at it. There were more than two taels of silver in the sachet, and with the five hundred coppers, it was almost three taels of silver. Zhao really believed it. Myself, I actually gave so much money to a five-year-old child to spend. If it is in a rich family, the money is nothing, but for ordinary farmers, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn this money all year round. Yang Chan I thought to myself that this cheap mother Zhao has many shortcomings, such as being weak and deceitful, not being good at managing money, and being too loyal, but the only thing that makes Yang Chaner feel lucky is that Zhao loves her children very much and is willing to support her children unconditionally. Believe in your children, this is the biggest benefit compared to others.

Yang Chan'er walked around the market for a long time. The scene of going to a big market is different from that of a small market. It's already afternoon, and there are still a lot of people selling things, and there are many kinds of things for sale, such as fur and wild goods. , Wild animals, etc., whether they are used in daily life or other things scooped from the mountains that are usually hard to buy, there are all kinds of things, but there are not many seeds that Yang Chaner is looking for. Not the season for sowing.

Yang Chan'er was just thinking about luck, but although it was a common vegetable, because there was nothing at home, Yang Chan'er bought some Chinese cabbage and radish seeds, both of which are cold-resistant vegetables. Open a small piece of land in front of the house, plant it now, and the family will have vegetables to eat in winter. Since Uncle Sun kindly lent them the hut to live in, open a small piece of land in front of the house to grow some vegetables for food Probably wouldn't say anything, but it's better to tell Uncle Sun later, Yang Chan'er thought about it, then walked around and stopped at a bookstall selling used books.

Yang Chan'er wanted to squat down and read the books, but Goro stood motionless holding onto Yang Chan'er's wrist, with a hint of excitement and nostalgia in his expression, he only reacted when he saw Yang Chan'er struggling and recovered normal.

The book seller is a middle-aged man in a shabby Confucian shirt. The man looks very decadent, with a bookish atmosphere that is unique to a scholar. These old books seem to have been used by him, and some obscure parts are still there. It is marked with annotations, the pages of the book are a bit worn out due to repeated reading, but they are very neat. The middle-aged man reminds Yang Chan'er from time to time to read carefully for fear of breaking it. It can be seen that he is a book lover. I just don't know why it's being sold.But in fact, it is easy to guess. Generally, scholars will not sell their books even if they don’t need to read them for nothing or give them away. When such a thing happened, the middle-aged man looked like a failed scholar, and he made such a bad decision because of the family's need to make a living. The next chat between Yang Chan'er and the middle-aged man also confirmed Yang Chan'er's guess.

Yang Chan'er originally wanted to learn to recognize characters. The ancient characters were different from the Chinese characters she had learned before. She was considered an intellectual in modern times, but in ancient times she was illiterate. Yang Chan'er originally only planned to buy a thousand-character text or something to read and write, but when she encountered such a rare opportunity, she finally bought all the middle-aged man's books for a tael of silver. This price is not cheap It's not too expensive. If you continue to negotiate with middle-aged men, you may be able to suppress it a little more. After all, books and other things are rarely used by ordinary people who can read and write at home. Those who are really rich will not save them. When I buy old books used by others, I always go to the bookstore to buy them, even if they are more expensive, it doesn’t matter. Reading is not a matter of saving money.
