Chapter 7 7 Opportunity to go out
Xu Xiulian went into the house and took out a few small paper bags, "Here are leeks, onion seeds, and pepper seeds. Let's plant them. I went to deliver vegetables to the host's house in the twelfth lunar month last year. The housekeeper gave it to me."
Listening to her proud tone, one knew that she would be loyal to the Xu family for the rest of her life.
Yu Min thinks that peppers should be grown as seedlings for later planting, but she won’t say anything. If you plant it, it should be able to sprout.
There are still few rapeseeds, and there are still ten vegetable patches in half of the yard that have not been planted.
"I'll go to the master's house again tomorrow."
Yu Min really wanted to go out and have a look, but it was hard to make a request.
Looked at Cheap Daddy. Yu Junshan said, "Xiulian, why don't we go to the town and buy some vegetable seeds ourselves? Didn't you say we don't have much salt at home? We just happened to buy some, and we also took a few children to let them go out and have a look."< br>
When Yu Junshan said this, the five fifth girls all raised their heads, and they also wanted to go out and have a look.
He said this because the town was relatively safe and he also wanted to know what was going on outside.
"Xiulian, you don't have to worry about money. I still have some in my hand."
"Zhong. Take them out for a look, and you will also go to the master's house to salute the gentlemen."
Yu Min doesn’t want to, but as long as he can go out. This is a rare opportunity to at least let yourself know what time it is. If you miss it, you may not have the chance to go out in the future.
In the evening, Xu Xiulian had all five girls cleaned up, "If I can make the ladies like her, I won't have to farm at home."
Yu Min felt guilty. Why does this sound like ancient times? Is this true in four or five years?
Anyway, I might have a chance to find out tomorrow.
The two little girls were lying on the bed chattering, yearning for the master's house very much.
In fact, they should be the thoughts instilled by their mothers. Get up in the middle of the night and feed yourself again. Nothing is as important as a good body, the rest is just a cloud.
After tidying up in the morning, I followed behind.
Yu Junshan didn’t want to go to Xu’s house, but he still couldn’t dissatisfy her.
"Xiulian, did you tell us what happened?"
Xu Xiulian shook her head, "I haven't seen the master and his wife yet."
"Then it's not good for me to rush over like this, right?" Otherwise, tell me, I will come over next time?”
Xu Xiulian didn’t want her noble man to kowtow to the master and his wife. Although she was just a maid and didn't have much experience, the man she was must have been more noble than the master and his wife.
"Zhong. You two go for a walk, and I will take them to kowtow to the master and his wife."
"Okay. We'll be waiting for you near the grocery store." He agreed.
“Do you know the grocery store?”
“I don’t know, but there must be a grocery store in the town.”
“I will send you there, and you will wait for me there. ”
Yu Min was listening to Wu Xiaoxue chattering from behind. She was very yearning for it.
I guess I walked for two hours before reaching the town. It still looks lively. But everyone was in a hurry. Isn’t it said that this era is full of slow-paced life?
I am curious about everything, buildings, people’s clothes, it should be from this era.
"Junshan, you two are waiting for me here."
"Okay. Don't worry, we can't lose it."
Xu Xiulian called the five girls to leave. Yu Min relaxed a lot now. "Dad. Where are we going? Want to go to the post office?"
"That's okay." Yu Junshan wanted to read the newspaper, but he didn't know what was going on outside. It's like being isolated from the rest of the world in this small place, but it's actually pretty good here. There used to be planes circling in the sky every day, and I was always on tenterhooks. After being here for so long, there was only one plane passing by.
Both of us are literate. After entering the post office, Yu Junshan immediately changed. Although the clothes are shabby, the temperament is different.
After buying the newspaper, the two men left. I found a remote place to read the newspaper.
Yu Min is really not used to this kind of vertical format. Moreover, many traditional Chinese characters were unknown, so Lian Meng had to guess again to understand them. She looked very quickly and was already sure that it was four or five years ago. However, I have never heard of the names of the big shots here, and the place names are also different.
While waiting for her father to see this side, she can see the other side.
After reading both sides, Yu Min sat aside and let out a sigh of relief. The times were right. Big events are similar. This should be a parallel space, right?
Actually, it’s nothing. Life is everywhere, as long as it is stable.
Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly. How could there be stability in this turbulent era? Sometimes even if you want to be alone, you may not be given this opportunity.
Looking at Cheap Daddy, his current expression is indescribable. Not having the heart to disturb him, the father and daughter sat here.
After a while, he sighed and stood up, "Let's go and buy you two pieces of underwear."
"Dad, it's better to buy two pieces of cloth and make it yourself."
Yu Junshan nodded. There are five girls in the family. Although they don't call him father, it is not uncommon, but they cannot be treated differently. After all, we have to live together in the future, and that woman is really nice.
The wife is a sentimental woman. Being together for so many years is really tiring.
Although this woman is not as good as my wife in anything, there is one thing that is good about her, that is, she is strong and optimistic. Such talents are suitable for surviving in troubled times.
The father and daughter went to the cloth store and bought a piece of fine cotton cloth. Then each of the eight of them had two inner clothes. Yu Junshan bought a piece of coarse cloth. They will wear single clothes soon, and the daughter does not have suitable clothes yet.
The father was too embarrassed to buy underwear for his daughter. He hesitated, but Yu Min still understood.
"Dad, no need, I can just do it myself."
"Xiao Min, don't worry about money. By the way, here are two goldfish, hide them for you."
“Dad, you better keep it.”
"I still have thirty yuan in my hand, and I don't need the money to live in the country."
Yu Min took it and put it carefully into his pocket, actually keeping it in the space.
"Dad, I want to buy two books and pen and paper."
"Okay. I'll take you there."
"Dad, are books special? It’s expensive, just buy me the cheapest one. I just want to look through it when I have nothing to do.”
Yu Junshan nodded, he was unwilling to wrong his daughter. When the two of them arrived at the door of the bookstore, they happened to see a down-and-out man being kicked out.
He was carrying a basket and staggered almost falling.
Yu Junshan helped him.
“Dogs look down on people, don’t they just see me down and out? I tell you. These are all ancient books.”
Yu Min is not tall and can’t see the basket What book is in it.
Yu Junshan knew from the look on his daughter's face that he was attracted. My wife likes books, and so does my daughter.
"Brother, how do you want to sell this book?"
