Orion's favorite little wife

Chapter 37 No.30 The Butterfly Who Wants to Fly

Passing through the market, I came to the edge of the northern part of the town. I was greeted by a pungent smell, and the livestock market was right in front of me.

Seeing Han Lin approaching, several people stepped forward to strike up a conversation.When you ask what kind of animal you want to buy, you should know that you want to buy a donkey.

An old man said, "Young man, I have a donkey that has just grown up. I have to sell it because my son wants to prepare a bride price and needs money. If you buy it sincerely, take a good look at it, my lord." Negotiate an affordable price!"

Han Lin looked at the young man next to the uncle, who was about his own age.Leading a strong and sturdy black donkey, I couldn't help but take a second look.

Han Lin also didn't understand the importance of livestock.But what he thought of was that all living creatures have a common standard for measuring goodness, which should be "strong, strong and big!"

So he walked around the donkey and looked at it several times from beginning to end.The conclusion is that this donkey is strong, strong, docile, and active, so there should be no symptoms.

The uncle looked at Han Lin with a satisfied expression on his face, and he felt satisfied. "Young man, you're pretty satisfied!" "Not bad!"

"Since you have taken a fancy to it, sir, I can't force it. The best donkey here is five taels of silver, and this donkey is not bad, sir. How about you give it four taels of silver?"

"It's expensive, four taels!" "You boy, you are so chatty, but you can break up the chatter!" "Master, don't you always allow me to bargain!"

"You are too shrewd, so how about it, let's stop talking, four, two, five, can you buy it? No, I'll wait for the next one."

"Okay, just the price you always said!" After paying the bill and going through the formalities, Han Lin led the donkey and went to the shop selling seeds.

Han Lin inquired for a long time, and the shopkeeper told him that one mu of corn needed four to five catties of seeds.Half an acre of potatoes requires 150 catties.It also depends on the germination rate of the bud eye.Corn seeds cost thirty Wen a catty, and potato seeds cost two Wen a catty.

After some calculation, Han Lin bought five catties of corn seeds and 150 catties of potato seeds.It cost 450 Wen for the seeds of this acre and a half, which is quite expensive.He grinned and looked at the other seeds.Last night, I heard from my sister that there are peanuts and soybeans that are suitable for cultivation in mountainous areas, and they are still available here.

Gritting my teeth again, I bought peanut seeds for fifty renminbi. This one bears fruit and is used as snacks for my sister.After suffering from pain for a long time, Han Lin paid the bill.Pick up the bag containing the seeds and put it on the donkey's back.

Han Lin couldn't help sighing, it's because my sister had the foresight, otherwise this big bag of potato seeds, with ribs, would have crushed herself like a donkey.

The more I think about it, the smarter I feel!He led the donkey and walked to the butcher's stall.After observing for such a period of time, Han Lin found that Xiaoxiao likes to eat pork. Although she also eats other meats, she doesn't eat much.So since I found out, every time Han Lin came to town, he would try his best to buy some pork back home.

"Uncle, bring me two catties of pork belly, and add five cents of stick bones." "Okay! It's two catties tall, and I'll put all these stick bones for you today." "Thank you uncle!"

After buying these, seeing that it was getting late, I bought some steamed buns at a roadside stall and shared them with Heizi.Walk through the market and prepare to leave the town and go home.

It's already noon, and there are still some goods in the market that have not been sold.So there are still some people strolling around, just wanting to find a bargain.

A circle of people surrounded the front, blocking the street which was not considered spacious.Before I got to the front, I heard the sound of bargaining inside.

"Oh, you old lady is too hard-headed, it's all gone. You say, you can make it cheaper and sell it to us."

"My old lady, it's already a bargain for you. Buy ten and get one free! But you are too greedy, and you insist on giving one for four cents. That's definitely not possible!" Come on, let's see who she sells to!"

After speaking, the people around spread out, revealing an old lady with a face full of weather, with her back hunched, sitting on the ground.In front of her was a basket of chicks.Looking at the helpless old lady, she was looking at the bright yellow chickens in her basket.

Han Lin remembered his sister's order. "Auntie, how much is this chicken?" "Five cents a piece, buy ten and get one free. Young man, there are 23 more in total. If you buy them all, just give one hundred cents."

Look at the old man's clothes, "Old man, I didn't bring the guy with the chicken, I'm giving you an extra five pennies, and sell me this big basket, okay!" "Okay, okay, you're a good guy Child!" After speaking, the old man wiped his cloudy old eyes and handed the basket to Han Lin.

Han Lin also counted out one hundred and five copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man.The old man said happily, "Thank you! Young man, I have finally collected enough money for my grandson's medicine. Good people are rewarded!"

The few women just answered the words in a somewhat embarrassing way, "You are always the same. If you had said earlier that the money from selling the chickens would be used to buy medicine for the grandson, we wouldn't be able to lower the price!"

"Forget it, it's okay, I'll go buy medicine for my grandson." Looking at the old man happily walking away.Han Lin also picked up the basket and led the donkey. Heizi also happily snuggled up to him and started on his way home.

Every time I go home, I feel like returning home, and today I want to go home early.Look, my sister must look very good wearing the hairpin.

After trekking all the way, when I opened the gate of the courtyard, I saw my sister smiling and greeted me, my heart was sweet.

First hand over the basket containing the chicks, looking at Xiaoxiao's smiling face, I was a little surprised.Han Lin quickly unloaded the seeds, carried them into the shed, and put them away on the case.I took the donkey to the backyard and tied it up in the newly built donkey shed yesterday.Bring the forage and add water.After checking again and not forgetting anything, he washed his hands and stood beside Xiaoxiao mysteriously!

First, you ask me, you ask me!Xiaoxiao looked at him as if begging for praise.He asked wonderingly, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Han Lin take out a red cloth bag from his arms, he handed it to himself as if offering a treasure.Xiaoxiao accepted it suspiciously, opened it gently, and froze.

A silver butterfly hairpin lay on the red cloth.Small and delicate.Xiaoxiao, who doesn't like gold and silver jewelry very much, was really amazed!
Sigh the wisdom and creativity of the ancients.The silver butterfly that is about to fly, and the bright white pearls on the tassels are a perfect fit.

It embodies the freshness and elegance of the creator, but also does not want to be restrained, that sigh of wanting to fly?On this hairpin, the expression is vivid!
Suddenly I remembered a poem I read many years ago, because after so many years, I only vaguely remember those two lines.

"Cut my heart into a paper butterfly, unable to fly, but grows in the air, a pair of lovesick wings."

　A bit unsatisfactory, but...can't think of anything better!
