Chapter 124
After Zhang Shishi left, several people suddenly felt that the air around them was much fresher.
After walking for a short distance, I found that Uncle Ma had just driven the oxcart farther away and stopped, and was still soliciting business.
Seeing them, Uncle Ma felt a little embarrassed and said in greeting, "Ahem, you guys are walking pretty fast."
Realizing that the girl covered in shit was no longer there, Uncle Ma loosened his tight grip and said, "My car is an empty waste, why don't you guys get on it? I'll give it to you for free today!"
The boy jumped up first.
You would be a fool not to ride in a car.
Qin Zhuzhu was also so tired that her back ached and her arms ached, so she jumped on it immediately.
Zhao Jin'er took out three copper coins and said, "It's not easy for my uncle to be out in the cold weather, so he has to pay for the carriage."
Uncle Ma is also from Xiaogang Village. He has no children and only has a bedridden wife. He does not work in the fields at home and relies entirely on this bullock cart to earn a living.
Where can I take advantage of him?
When Uncle Ma saw that Zhao Jin'er would not get in the car unless he accepted the money, he had to accept the coins and said, "This girl, how can you be so stubborn?"
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived home.
The person who opened the door was Mrs. Qin. Seeing that Zhang Shishi didn't come back, but there was a strange young man, she couldn't help but wonder, "Where is Shishi? Who is this?"
Qin Zhenzhu quickly explained to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin jumped up and said, "In the clear sky, we actually meet bad people again? Oh my God! This world is simply unbearable! You girls are not allowed to go out on the streets again without adults accompanying you!"
He thanked the young man again and again, "Thank you young master for saving me! Jinya, please show me if your arm is injured!"
While talking, he brought tea and took out a few pastries that had been hidden for a long time. "Young master, you haven't had lunch yet. Let's have a light meal here at noon."
The young man just wanted to come and read a book, but unexpectedly, he thanked him sincerely and even invited him to dinner so politely that he felt a little embarrassed.
Everyone doing business in town is having a hard time this winter. How could he not know how hard it is for people in the countryside?
Rice is so valuable!
If you don’t have enough to eat yourself, who will easily leave others to eat?
"Grandma, please don't bother me. I'm not hungry. I'll leave after looking at my arms. Don't call me a young master. Although my family is in the town, it's not as well-off as yours. Where is this young master? My name is Pei Feng.
Just call me Xiao Pei."
Old Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Xiao Pei, you are the savior of our little girl Jin. We cannot thank you enough. You must keep something to eat from this meal."
With that said, he went to work in the kitchen.
Seeing Pei Feng's embarrassed look, Zhao Jin'er smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, please stay for a simple meal, otherwise my grandma will feel that she owes a huge favor and has not repaid her, and she will not be able to sleep well at night.
I'm going to call my husband out. You are both scholars, so we should be able to chat."
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to do this to keep someone to eat, but now she has three hundred taels in her pocket.
Her husband-in-law, Ah Xiu, earned three hundred taels based on his ability!
She is confident and has straightened her waist.
Keeping people for a meal is nothing.
When Pei Feng heard that she wanted to call her husband out, he seemed to have seen several moving human-shaped manuscripts. He was delighted and did not refuse.
While talking, Zhao Jin'er checked Pei Feng's arm, "Fortunately, the bones are not injured, but the bruise is quite serious. You need some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. I'll get it for you."
The medicine I picked up a few days ago happened to contain Panax notoginseng, which is the best for treating trauma.
