Chapter 50 The world is in chaos
At noon in the heat, Yan Laoer rode away on the ox again, taking away the big and small bags.
The people in the village are used to him running outside every day.
Probably because they ate meat early in the morning, the big guys were not very hungry, so they ate steamed buns casually, and the fire didn't start.
Li Xuemei also brought Da Ya in to work together.
Weaved a lot of straw sandals, enough to wear for a while, they decided to weave straw mats.
The mats of each family were tied to the car for shade during the day, and they were used to pave the floor at night, and holes were worn out.
"Sister of the Hu family, I'm really sorry, your second brother Yan somehow took that straw hat that you lent to Erya." Li Xuemei said with an apologetic expression: "When he comes back, I'll find it and return it to you."
"What did my sister-in-law say? What is a straw hat worth? I gave it to Erya." The youngest daughter of the Hu family hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law and Brother Yan have a relationship, and they insist on borrowing it, which makes me ashamed." gone."
A sister-in-law joked beside her: "Hahaha! The second brother Yan was taken away? Sister Hu, just wait, maybe I can get you an egg later."
Everyone chatted and laughed, no one really thought that Yan'er could bring something back just by chance.
Didn't expect Hey! Really made everyone wait.
"Are those straw sandals sold?"
"It's sold!" Yan Laoer's face was flushed, "I happened to meet the peddler from the village, and saw that I sold it cheaply, so I took it all away. I thought I could sell a little bit, and I didn't care too much about the lesser one. Two texts.
There are still those old clothes, and the peddler also bought them. I asked him what they were for, but he didn't say...
Turning around, I collected some grain in the nearby village.
The people from Tieguo Village stayed behind, saying that it would save them a trip to town.
Today is a lucky star. I saw a little green when I went out here. I rode a bull and took a look. Good guy, there was a lot of strings hanging from an old elm tree, and I pulled them back. There was no leaf remain.
The medicine pack that my elder brother Cui made came in handy. The weather is hot, maybe he ate something unclean. There is an old man in the village who has a stomachache. There are all kinds of medicinal materials, and those who understand in the village will keep them..."
Yan’s second child, Balabala, what he said was like a mouthful of froth.
He used his prehistoric power to convince everyone in a village.
Take out half a bag of rough noodles and share it with everyone. No one thinks about whether it is reasonable or not. All they see is the joy of getting food.
The youngest daughter of the Hu family got a little more. It is said that the shopkeeper saw the delicate straw hat and bought it too.
She was dizzy all over, can straw hats be sold? !
Yan Er Er secretly wiped off his sweat.
In order to exchange stutters for the villagers, it was really difficult for them.
Don’t talk about it secretly, you have to make up a reason, thinking about whether it can be believed.
Fortunately, such a thing does not need to be done every day.
Cui Langzhong felt that he could go farther during the daily rest time to see if he could find some herbs and store more, and he might sell Yan Lao Er to him at any time. In his wife's words, Yan The second child can really do it!
The women in the village have tasted the sweetness even more, and plan to return to their old business after weaving mats, continue weaving straw sandals, um, and add straw hats.
"You said, what does the peddler want old clothes for?" Someone thought of this.
Someone took it for granted: "Old clothes can be used for many purposes. They can be pasted on the soles of shoes and made into hundreds of clothes..."
"If we make shoes, I don't know if Yan Lao Er can sell them for us."
"What are you thinking? Our water is so tense, how can we boil the pulp."
"It's not a problem to make a few insoles."
"I can prepare a few, if we can't sell them, we can keep them for ourselves."
"Yan Er's family, what do you think?"
"What are you going to do?" Someone asked after seeing the work she was doing.
"It's no wonder that her father always packs big bags when he goes out, which is inconvenient. I want to make him a bigger bag and put it on the back of the cow, so as to save him the trouble of carrying it."
"It still looks like a picture? Yo! What is this? It looks like... like a cloth bag we carry on our children's back."
Li Xuemei smiled and said: "I just saw you carrying children and thought of making a few bags that can be carried, so that both hands can be free to do other things."
"It's really good, if it's good when you make it, we will each make one.
Is this drawn by Erya? I see that Erya of your family is learning to read characters at Xiucai Public School recently? "
"His uncle has nothing to teach a few words when he has nothing to do. Erya is just passing by, mainly my eldest nephew. His uncle is watching closely and is not allowed to relax at all."
…
Yan Yu is on the upper bunk, keeping accounts with the book her mother sewed for her.
The price of the goods on the shelf, how many things were sold, and what was traded in the free market, and what was received from the folks, all had to be recorded.
"Look at what I brought you?" Li Xuemei climbed up and showed her what she had in hand.
"This is a charcoal strip, wrapped in cloth like this, you can write on paper. They use this method to draw flowers. I think it is better than that brush. Try it."
When Yan Yu got excited, Mo Dianzi almost slapped her face.
"Mother, you really saved me, let daddy modify my shape, wouldn't it become a charcoal pencil, woo woo woo, mother, why didn't you bring it so early."
Your daughter's little wrist is about to break!
"You still need to practice brush calligraphy, otherwise your uncle will not be able to pass the test."
Li Xuemei agrees with her uncle's practice of training her daughters.
"This is what your sister-in-law Luo said when she saw the picture of the backpack you drew, otherwise how would I know there is such a thing?"
Yan Er Er quietly touched over and waved at the two of them.
Yan Yu packed up her pen and ink, and kept her notebook in her bosom.
The family of three tacitly walked towards the place where people carried people.
"I really found out that there is a town nearby. It's not small in size, it's bigger than our town." Yan Laoer whispered.
Yan Yu: "Don't we have to avoid the people in the yamen? There are yamen guards at the entrance of the town, right? They go in and ask for money."
"The town is quite chaotic. I don't think the yamen servants care about things, and they don't care about the people coming in and out."
Li Xuemei's expression became serious: "Why don't you care? Tell me carefully? What are the people who go in and out like?"
"That's...that's..." Yan Lao Er thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The people who came in and out, old and young, had a lot of things with them. I'm in a hurry.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yu blurted out: "They are not like us, they are all fleeing famine, right?"
Seeing that her parents were staring at her and not speaking, she felt nervous: "I guessed randomly!"
Li Xuemei said seriously: "According to the time, it should be that the grain tax has just been paid, and the grain collected by each family has gone to pay the tax, and there is not much left.
If it were us, what would happen? "
Needless to say, isn't it obvious that they are here?
Definitely have to flee famine!
