Chapter 9 Helping Others
Fu Ciyi glanced aside, she had fair skin and a delicate profile.
Soon, he calmly looked away and said indifferently: "What mother meant."
"Oh."
Yan Funing responded and walked away Memorize the route so you can go to town alone next time.
The two of them were silent all the way.
After another half an hour, we finally arrived in the town.
The streets in the town are paved with bluestone slabs, with gently raised eaves on both sides. There are many shops and pedestrians and traders in an endless stream.
Fu Ciyi's eyes roamed the street, and when he saw a bookstore, he turned his head and said, "We will meet here in two quarters of an hour."
"Okay." Yan Funing nodded. .
Seeing him walking away, her eyes moved to the street. There were many people squatting on the ground, with different vegetables placed in front of them.
It was a good idea to set up a stall like this, but she soon discovered the problem. People who came and went usually only asked questions, but rarely bought anything.
If she were like them, it would be difficult for her to sell out all the oyster mushrooms in her basket within two quarters of an hour, so she would have to find an inn or tavern to ask.
After making up her mind, she walked towards a restaurant ahead.
Halfway through, a little girl’s cry caught her attention.
She followed the sound and saw a man in his twenties holding a little girl at the door of the hospital. His voice was choked with sobs: "My daughter is crying like this. Can you please help her first?"
< br>The people in the hospital shouted back to him: "Look at you, whether you can afford a small amount of money is a question. What if you can't afford it?"
The man comforted his daughter and asked for help. : "Please treat my daughter's arm. I will make up for the consultation fee later!"
At this time, the doctor in the library slowly came out: "Your daughter's arm will be useless if you don't look at it. If you have money, , go back and get it first.”
When he heard this, the man almost cried: “If you don’t look at it, it will be useless. Please help me look at it as soon as possible.”
Just when he was about to kneel down and kowtow to request, Yan Funing bent down slightly and held the little girl's arm.
With just such a touch, she knew that the little girl had just dislocated her joint.
Then he held the little girl's wrist with one hand, supported her elbow with the other, pressed the radial head with his thumb, and stretched it with skillful force, and a slight popping sound was heard.
The doctor sitting in the hall glanced sideways at Yan Funing and said to the man: "Your daughter's arm was touched like this by an unrelated person, and it will be more difficult to treat her again."
Why did the man say: "This Girl, my daughter’s arm..."
Yan Funing touched the little girl's face and asked warmly: "Raise your arm to see if it still hurts?"
The little girl blinked her teardrop eyes, raised her little arm, and suddenly laughed. : "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
The man asked happily: "It really doesn't hurt anymore?"
The little girl shook her head and said in a sweet voice: "Daddy, it really doesn't hurt anymore." "
The man pinched his daughter's elbow in disbelief to confirm that it really didn't hurt anymore, and then he remembered to thank the girl who was carrying the backpack just now.
The father and daughter looked around. Where was the figure of the girl?
At this moment, Yan Funing has entered a restaurant.
"Boss, these are wild oyster mushrooms picked in the mountains. Can you get a better price?"
She put down her basket and took out an oyster mushroom to show to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took it, pinched it, nodded and praised: "Not bad, fresh and tender." He then compared the numbers and said, "Since this is wild, I will give you twenty-five cents per catty."
Yan Funing didn't know what the level of twenty-five cents was. She recalled the part about spending money in the book. There was very little description of prices, so she had to ask: "How much is a pound of rice now?"
The shopkeeper looked at her and looked at her. He didn't dress like someone who had no money. He thought, maybe the daughter of some family came here to experience life in order to be in charge of her husband's family in the future.
Then he quoted a price frankly: "Ten cents per catty."
"Then do you want all my wild oyster mushrooms?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "They are indeed wild, I want them all."
Yan Funing discussed with him: "I picked these oyster mushrooms with my own hands. Considering the hard work, can it be counted as thirty cents per catty?" How can there be such a bargain? It can be seen that the girl in front of me does come from a wealthy family and has no idea about money.
The oyster mushrooms in this basket were probably picked by her servants.
The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: "It's five cents short, girl."
Raised his hand and ordered the waiter to weigh it. Excluding the basket on his back, the net weight of the oyster mushrooms was seven catties and eighty taels.
Yan Funing discussed again: "Let's calculate it as eight catties. It's easier to calculate this way. It's a total of two hundred cash."
"The girl knows how to settle accounts!" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's up to you. Calculate eight catties. Next Remember to bring your family to my store for dinner.”
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to collect the oyster mushrooms and counted two hundred cash to Yan Funing. Seeing that she had no money bag, he gave her a red string.
Yan Funing thanked her, tied up the copper plates one by one with a red string, and put them in her sleeve pocket.
The sleeve pockets suddenly became heavy. With an empty basket on her back, she took the sleeve pockets to the grain and oil store across the street.
I bought rice and flour at the grain and oil store, along with some seasonings. I almost used up the two hundred cash, but still had ten cash left.
Guessing that the appointed time had arrived, Yan Funing walked quickly to the street.
At this moment, the backpack contained twelve kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, and seasonings. It was so heavy that her shoulders ached.
The female protagonist’s delicate body could never carry such a heavy object on her back. After only taking a few steps, she was out of breath.
Fu Ciyi had been waiting for a while and saw that her breathing was very unstable when she came over, so he quietly glanced at the basket on her back.
The items in the backpack are packed in cloth bags, such as rice and noodles.
This woman really sold the oyster mushrooms.
He coughed lightly: "Want to take the bus?"
At this moment, the driver who had just met when he came shouted to them: "Young couple, please take the bus, they are ten cents each." Money. "
The pain on Yan Funing's shoulder made her unable to care about what others called her or someone.
Besides, they are indeed husband and wife now.
She quietly squeezed the remaining ten copper coins in her sleeve pocket. These ten coins can buy a pound of rice.
The driver patted the two empty seats next to him: "The young couple already saved money when they came here, do they have to save money when they go back? Life is not so economical."
Yan Funing is really carrying it on her back. He stopped moving the basket full of rice and noodles, pursed his lips and was about to speak, when he heard a refreshing voice.
“We, husband and wife, paid copper coins in advance when we came here. My husband-in-law gave you two more copper coins. How could you give up our seats to others?”
The driver smiled and said: "Since you are so late, I just want to rush back first and take you with me on the next trip."
The young woman snorted, turned to Yan Funing, and held out five fingers. Turning over a few times: "Fifteen cents, if you give us fifteen cents, these two people will be given to you."
Yan Funing said: "We will not sit in the seats you have reserved."
The young woman sneered: "Can't you get fifteen cents?"
Fu Ciyi stood next to Yan Fu Ning and asked quietly: "Want to sit down?"
"No."
Yan Funing pinched the copper coins in her sleeve pocket again. She really couldn't get out fifteen cents.
If you can walk forward, you can naturally walk back.
Not wanting to see the young woman's face anymore, Yan Funing walked away.
Suddenly there was a light touch on her back. She quickly looked sideways and saw someone holding the handle of the backpack.
"I'll carry it," he said.
