Chapter 26 It’s time to purchase again

 Lin Erlai's eyes felt sore and uncomfortable. When he was making money with Xiaoman's parents, he also ate meat every meal.

Until the house collapsed and the wife died, I spent all the money I saved to treat the wife's leg after the funeral. Now that the leg has not been cured, the family is almost too poor to open the door.

Although the clan took good care of their mother and son, life was still very difficult, and seeing the two children suffering in front of their grandparents was of little help.

But for the two children, when life gets better, I think about their mother and son, who are as kind as their parents.

"Uncle Second Lai, please don't cry. Your tears will fall into the cake and I won't eat it."

The sadness that had just surged up was wiped out by Lin Erhu's words of disgust. Lin Erlai glared at him angrily, "Who is crying? The children's eyes are not all right."

He turned around and secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Lin Erhu quietly stuck out his tongue at Lin Xiaoman. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise he would have cried so hard.

The pancakes are white flour pancakes with chopped green onions and eggs. Lin Erlai baked more than ten pancakes. Grandma Si mixed some shredded pickles and rolled them into the pork head meat that the siblings brought.

Lin Xiaoman had a larger appetite than the average person and couldn't finish three cakes. Lin Erhu ate a few more pieces of pig head meat and only ate one cake.

On the other hand, the fourth grandma kept pushing cakes and meat in front of the siblings, "Eat more. When you are growing, you can grow taller only when you are full."

Lin Erhu patted his round belly, "Fourth Grandma, can we still be polite to you? We're all full!"

The Fourth Grandma grabbed his hand and said, "Hey, you kid, you just had enough to eat and you don't want to take pictures!"

After dinner, while sipping the brown sugar water cooked by Fourth Grandma, Lin Xiaoman explained their purpose of coming, "Fourth Grandma, Second Uncle, we have opened a hot pot restaurant in the city, and the business is very good.

We don't have enough manpower, so we just made an agreement with the clan leader to ask the village to provide a few people to help, and the money earned will be shared with the clan. The few people the clan leader found are all safe. Erhu is going to study next year, and I have others.

We have something to do, and the store needs someone who can take care of the accounts. I can’t trust anyone else. I just happened to have almost harvested the mushrooms, and I won’t be harvesting them anymore. Is the second uncle coming over to help us?”

Lin Erlai lowered his head to look at his lame foot and smiled bitterly, "In the past, as long as Xiao Man opened his mouth, I would not say anything. But now you have also seen, my uncle's legs and feet..."

Lin Xiaoman knew that he would refuse, so he had already thought out his words of persuasion, "I don't want uncle to help carry the dishes. As long as uncle sits there collecting money and keeping accounts, Erhu and I will have the backbone. Otherwise it's so big."

There is no one in charge of the accounts in this store. Even if we are relieved, the fourth grandma and the second uncle are not worried, right?"

Lin Erlai was a little moved by what she said, "Is it just accounting?"

"The job of accounting is not easy. Just counting money at the end of the day will make my hands cramp. I am afraid that I will tire my second uncle."

Lin Xiaoman had already said it to this point, how could Lin Erlai refuse to agree, not to mention he didn't trust others to take care of the account.

He raised his hand and hit Lin Xiaoman on the head, "Is your uncle a person who is afraid of getting tired? I will go to the city with you to help for a few days and wait until you find the right person."

Lin Xiaoman didn't say that he was the most suitable person. Seeing that he agreed, he hurriedly said: "Then it's settled. Erhu and I will go back first, and we'll pick up the cart tomorrow morning to pick up Uncle Erlai. Grandma Fourth, you should also pack a few things."

If I can’t make it back in time for clothes, I’ll stay in the city. My fourth grandma will go with me, so she can take care of Uncle Erlai and help us look after the store.”

Before Fourth Grandma and Lin Er could say anything, Lin Xiaoman pulled Lin Erhu and ran away.

Lin Erlai sighed softly, "Why are these two children so kind-hearted?"

There were tears in the eyes of the Fourth Grandma.

For more than a year, he has been frowning all day long and sitting in the cemetery for a whole day. She knew that he felt that he was useless and did not want to hurt her as a mother.

But she only has him as her son. No matter how much hardship she endures, no matter how tired she is, she is not afraid, but she cannot bear to see her son continue to be depressed.

Xiaoman wanted to find something for him to do. Not only would he have an income that could support the family, but he also wanted him to forget his pain when he was busy.

"Secondly, don't say anything. From now on, we will keep the kindness of the children in mind and let them take care of our home."

After saying that, Fourth Grandma had already gotten up to pack a change of clothes, and also packed two pieces for Lin Erlai.

In the past, when the family was in better times, we made a lot of things, and there was no shortage of clothes for the family.

When I got home, I turned on my phone there and replied to the messages from Grandma Liu and Grandma Xu. I also checked the logistics status of the clam oil. It would only be delivered the day after tomorrow. It would be the day after tomorrow to get the goods and send them to the city.<

But in addition to the five taels of silver given by Mr. Qingshan, there is not much left in the copper coins after paying for the iron pot. The money to buy bricks and the wages of hiring people, all these must be earned as soon as possible.

The wholesale market opened at three o'clock in the morning. The siblings decided to get up early tomorrow and go to the wholesale market. Since they couldn't buy clam oil, they could wholesale some cosmetics that could be sold here and sell them to Shopkeeper Feng.

The alarm clock was set on the phone, and it was dark outside when they woke up. The siblings changed into clothes from there. Lin Xiaoman tied his hair into a high ponytail, and put a hat bought there on Lin Erhu's head.

Put on the big backpack and get into the closet.

At the same time, the world behind the closet was brightly illuminated by street lights, and the pebbles on the ground were clearly visible.

The siblings ran all the way out of the park, got into a taxi parked on the roadside and went straight to the wholesale market.

The wholesale market in the morning was much busier than when they came before. It was full of people and vehicles coming to load goods, especially the meat and cooked food areas where the most people came to load goods.

From the vegetable wholesale greenhouse outside, you can hear the noise from across the two halls.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu had never seen such a lively scene before. They were so noisy that they became dizzy. It was not until they entered the place where pottery bowls, pottery stoves and pots were wholesaled that they last calmed down a little.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu bought some more earthenware pots and asked the boss to help them install them. Lin Xiaoman asked: "Boss, do you sell those small pottery pots for rouge?"

Looking at Lin Xiaoman's comparison, the boss said: "I remember that I shipped a batch of goods before. It may be what you want, but it was never sold and I couldn't remember where it was. If you guys

Don’t worry, I’ll go look through it right away.”

Lin Xiaoman checked the time. They still had to go to the cosmetics area. They were not in a hurry, so they agreed to come back later and went straight to the cosmetics area.

After finding the store where she bought clam oil for the first time, Lin Xiaoman asked: "Auntie, do you still have clam oil?"

The aunt said helplessly: "No one uses that now, and I don't even think about stocking it again."

Lin Xiaoman felt regretful and asked again: "Is there anything good for wiping your face? It can't be worse than clam oil."

The aunt looked at her up and down, "You're talking about the old-fashioned cream, right? I have several kinds of bagged cream in my store, do you want to take a look?"
