114 Brother and Sister
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly said: "How can you return the things that have been sold to others, Ning An, Ning Ping, don't make trouble. Sister bought it, you can eat it quickly!"
"Sister, we don't eat it. My sister is a child, so I can eat it. My brother and I have grown up. Let's not eat this!" Gu Ningping said a little aggrieved when he saw that his sister was unhappy.
"You two little radishes, why don't you eat them!"
"Sister, you can buy a pound of sorghum noodles with two strings of candied haws. It's too expensive!" Gu Ning'an whispered. These two strings of candied haws can be exchanged for sorghum noodles that can be eaten for several days. They are really reluctant.
I see! It turned out that the two brothers didn't eat candied gourd, they thought it was too expensive and they were reluctant to eat it.
"And, sister, if you don't eat it, we won't eat it either!" Gu Ningping muttered softly, looking at the candied gourd in his hand, with a conflicted expression of wanting to give up and not wanting to give up.
It is said that a child's heart is on his face, and Gu Xiaowan felt that this sentence was true. Looking at the expression on Gu Ningping's face, Gu Xiaowan suddenly felt that these children were so sensible, they were really the most precious treasures she had gained from passing through another world.
In the previous life, due to the national family planning policy, a family could only have one child. Gu Xiaowan was the only child in the family. There were no older brothers and sisters above, and no younger siblings below. Most of the toys and snacks at home were eaten by herself, and there were no siblings to share or compete for. But now, with three more brothers and sisters, Gu Xiaowan feels very satisfied with the kind of brotherhood that has never been seen before.
"It's okay, then I'll buy another one. I finally brought you out to play today. My sister must make you have fun and eat!" Gu Xiaowan said half-jokingly and half-promisingly. The look in those eyes was eclipsed by the stars in the sky.
"Brother, get me another one!" Gu Xiaowan said to the hawker.
When the peddler heard it, he quickly took one out of the target and handed it to Gu Xiaowan. After Gu Xiaowan took it, he would give him the money. Unexpectedly, the hawker waved again and again: "Little sister, I don't charge you for this one, I give it to you. you!"
However, Gu Xiaowan was reluctant: "Then how can you do it? You are also doing a small business, and a candied haws are only two cents. If you give it to me for nothing, you will do it for nothing today!"
"No, no." The hawker said: "This hawthorn is grown in my own home, I just bought some candy and asked for money. I don't want a few dollars. Your younger brothers and sisters are very obedient and sensible, it just reminds me of it. My brother, when I was a child, my brother would also bring me to the town, and then buy me something to eat, if I don’t eat it myself, just watch me eat it!”
The hawker had a look of nostalgia on his face, and he was delighted: "Okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to call it a day and go home, it's just early, go see my brother!"
After he finished speaking, he waved to Gu Xiaowan and the others, and hurriedly left. Gu Xiaowan looked at the two cents in her hand that had not been spent, and then looked at the big sugary candied haws in her hand, and took a light bite. It was sweet, sour, and the taste was better than that of modern candied haws. Much better.
Gu Ning'an and the others saw that their sister also ate it, and then they ate the candied haws in their hands, and they all smiled.
A few people walked to the town while eating candied fruit.
Gu Xiaowan has been here several times, and she is relatively familiar with this town.
Gu Xiaowan held Gu Xiaoyi with one hand and followed closely behind the stone. Shitou is much more familiar with this town than Gu Xiaowan, and, in previous years, Shitou followed his parents to the town to buy a pair. This time, Aunt Zhang felt that Shitou had grown up and could come out on her own, so she gave some money. Give the stone, let the stone go out.
Those who are familiar with the stone go to the grocery store. Gu Xiaowan pulled Gu Xiaoyi and followed along. When Gu Xiaoyi entered the town for the first time, everything was so curious, the streets were already full of items.
All of them are small stalls and hawkers who come to sell things, hoping to make some more money during the Chinese New Year, so that they can go home for the Chinese New Year.
Either there is a basket of eggs on one side, and on the other side are some handmade products made of bamboo, such as baskets and baskets. The basket is similar to the one used at home, but it looks a little more updated.
Seeing that Gu Xiaowan was looking at the things that Zhu Miao made up with great interest, Shi Shi said, "Xiaowan, my father will make up this stuff too!" After a while, he said in a low voice, "And my father made it much better than him!"
"Really?"
"That is!"
"Sister, it's true. Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship is much better than this." Gu Ningping often went to Uncle Zhang's house, so he naturally knew that Uncle Zhang would make up this stuff at home every day, and then Aunt Zhang or the stone would be brought to the town to sell. Because the baskets made by Uncle Zhang are made of sufficient materials and strong, the people in the town like them very much. It's just that this basket is too sturdy, so it can't be used badly. It can only be made two or three times a year, and it doesn't make much money.
When Gu Xiaowan was a child in the countryside, she had seen other people pick millet and used this kind of bamboo basket made of bamboo stalks, but it was rarely seen later. This kind of big basket is usually only bought and used by the farmers in the village, and it can be used for many years, and there are not many people who buy it. However, if it is made into such a delicate and small one, it can be used to buy vegetables and make it small. What about the crates or baskets of objects?
Gu Xiaowan knew that the biggest market for selling things was those rich people. As long as something was new, those rich people would be willing to buy it no matter how expensive it was. Especially something that has never been seen before, buying is a chic and trendy one.
Gu Xiaowan secretly had an idea in her heart, and planned to go back and draw some good-looking styles to ask Uncle Zhang if she would make it up. If you can make it up, maybe you can make some money.
The five continued to walk forward, Gu Xiaowan looked left and right, she came back to town and planned to buy some paper
Going back to the pen and the like, Gu Ning'an can already write a lot of words, and it is not an option to always squat on the ground to write. Moreover, Gu Xiaowan also planned to buy a book to go back, and then let Gu Ningan write according to the writing, and she would just teach him to read. When the spring begins and the school starts, Gu Ning'an will be sent to the school.
There is also Gu Ningping, although there is no improvement in writing, but Gu Ningping studies with intentions. In the future, whether or not to take the exam as a scholar will be discussed separately, but he must read more books.
Only reading can change one's destiny. This is a well-known saying that has been established since ancient times.
