The news that Western soldiers were attacking Huangcheng spread throughout the city. As a result, prices in the city suddenly rose.
Since Yan Zhenzhen stayed with Lieutenant General Long Dong to take care of him, his mother has treated her as a virgin daughter-in-law, and specifically entrusted her with the responsibility of purchasing ingredients for three meals a day.
"There are obviously so many servants in the house that can be used, why do you always ask me to buy them?" Yan Zhenzhen reached out angrily and squeezed the arm of Lieutenant General Long Dong.
"Oh, are you here to give me medicine, or are you here to take out my anger?" Lieutenant General Long Dong said in pain.
"After venting your anger, give me some medicine. Drink it!" Yan Zhenzhen held the whole bowl in front of his mouth, with clouds of hot smoke still rising from the soup.
A little cold sweat broke out on Lieutenant General Long Dong's forehead, and he said: "I will make it clear to my mother and tell her not to be so impatient. Can you feed me something calmly and slowly? If my tongue is burned if it is so hot, my tongue will be burned."
Yeah, it’s not good if you can’t explain clearly.”
Yan Zhenzhen took it back and blew it slowly with a spoon. At this time, the old lady came in.
"Zhenzhen, you don't need to feed him, I'll do it. The servant came back and said that there are pumpkins to buy at the market. You go and buy a big one for me quickly. Long Dong likes to drink pumpkin soup." The old lady said.
Said very kindly.
"My servant saw the pumpkin and didn't buy it. Instead, he asked me to buy it when he came back. This is not good, Madam." Yan Zhenzhen suppressed her anger and said emphatically.
Lieutenant General Long Dong saw that Yan Zhenzhen's face was starting to look ugly, and he immediately said to his mother: "Mother, Zhenzhen is feeding me medicinal soup, why did you ask her to buy some pumpkin? Just call her.
People ran back to buy it."
"Really, she is smarter. She can cut the price to the lowest every time and let the servants buy it. The price is several times more expensive. Now the price is so much more expensive. After you were injured, your share of military rations has been destroyed.
Soon, the servants in the family will still need to support the family. What if we can't afford the wages? Do we have to use the money for my coffin as well?" The old lady wiped her eyes with tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Eye.
Lieutenant General Long Dong immediately turned to Yan Zhenzhen and begged, "Zhenzhen, just go and buy it. Don't embarrass my mother."
"Am I in trouble?" Yan Zhenzhen was so angry that he couldn't speak. She vented her anger on his waist and pinched him hard.
Lieutenant General Long Dong endured the pain and smiled at Yan Zhenzhen, sandwiched between them, in a dilemma.
Finally, Yan Zhenzhen had no choice but to go out to buy pumpkins.
in the room.
Lieutenant General Long Dong wanted to have a private word with his mother.
"Mother, you are getting more and more excessive. Didn't I tell you that Zhenzhen and I have just started? Why do you treat her like a servant and order her around? You made her angry." Lieutenant General Long Dong said depressedly.
"Silly boy, I am training her on how to serve you in the future. As a woman, you must be able to leave the living room and enter the kitchen. She seems to be able to leave the living room, but cannot enter the kitchen. This is a big problem. I think
It will take a lot of time to teach her how to cook, so let her learn how to save money to support the family first. You also know that you can't make a lot of money, and you still can't be promoted to general even if you get seriously injured, you are still a small lieutenant general." Old lady.
said.
"Mother, you are not only embarrassing her now, but you are also attacking me. I know I am useless. Mother, you don't have to say it." Lieutenant General Long Dong said unhappily.
"It's because you are useless, so my mother has to help you teach your wife well." The old lady said matter-of-factly.
Lieutenant General Long Dong said silently in his heart: It turns out that I was the one who harmed Zhenzhen.
Yan Zhenzhen came to the market and bought more than a dozen times. She already knew the habits of the stalls very well.
"Buy pumpkins, they are freshly picked, big and sweet." A proprietress shouted selling melons.
"Overnight pumpkins, you can choose whatever you want. They are delicious and affordable. Come and have a look!" The second-tier uncle shouted in the same way.
These are the only two stalls that buy pumpkins.
"The melons on the left are big, but the color is average, and any words that say they are sweet are lies. The melons on the right are small, but the color is better, so they should be sweet enough. Let's just go with the melons on the right." Yan Zhenzhen said.
Analyze it in your own words.
As soon as she passed by, Wu Yangjun walked two steps faster than her and said directly to the boss: "I bought all your melons."
"Auntie, can you give me a pumpkin? I have an old man at home who loves to eat and needs a pumpkin." Yan Zhenzhen said to Wu Yangjun.
"Girl, you can go to the stall next door. They also have big pumpkins there." Wu Yangjun obviously disagreed. Hua Qingcheng at home loves pumpkins, so she must buy sweet ones.
Yan Zhenzhen approached Wu Yangjun's ear and whispered: "The pumpkin next door is not sweet. The old man likes his food to be sweet, so give me one."
Wu Yangjun saw that she kept saying it was for the elderly, so he reluctantly gave her a larger one.
Unexpectedly, the melon seller lion asked a huge price.
"Thirty taels for a pumpkin, if you don't go and grab it! Ten taels is about the same!" Yan Zhenzhen said.
Wu Yangjun thought it didn't matter. Hua Qingcheng had a mine at home and could afford it. After all, with prices rising now, it was not uncommon for melons to be several times more expensive. However, seeing Yan Zhenzhen bargaining, she also helped. She said:
"Yes, ten taels is about the same. Boss, just make it cheaper."
"Thirty liang per piece, I won't negotiate the price." The uncle saw that all their clothes were of high quality, so of course he wouldn't reduce the price.
Yan Zhenzhen pulled Wu Yangjun closer again and whispered: "Let's pretend to buy from the stall next door. He will definitely be willing to reduce the price."
Wu Yangjun nodded and cooperated with her.
"Boss, you are too expensive, we can't afford it." The two pretended to leave.
The uncle saw that they really didn't want to buy them. His own pumpkins had been stored overnight. If he couldn't sell them, it would be even harder to buy them tomorrow.
"Okay, just twenty-two pieces each. Come back! If you have anything to say, tell me slowly. Do you want to buy it?" The uncle quickly called them.
"Twelve taels for each, uncle, don't hesitate anymore. If you can't buy this melon today, it will be even harder to buy tomorrow. Ten taels is already a very reasonable price. And you bought it overnight, so it's not fresh." Yan Zhenzhen
said.
"Okay, okay, just one dozen each. Come back!" The uncle asked them to come back angrily.
Yan Zhenzhen and Wu Yangjun looked at each other, smiled, and walked back to pay.
Yan Zhenzhen was holding one pumpkin, which felt very heavy. But Wu Yangjun could easily carry six of them with both hands, each weighing at least five pounds, and he could still walk easily.
"Auntie, you are so powerful, don't you think it's heavy?" Yan Zhenzhen asked curiously.
"Hahaha, I am a martial arts practitioner. I have a foundation in martial arts and am much stronger than you." Wu Yangjun said with a smile.
"You must be a very good wife." Yan Zhenzhen said thoughtfully.
"That's not true. I often quarrel with my mother-in-law, so my husband and I moved to Huangcheng to avoid quarreling with his mother when we met." Wu Yangjun said helplessly.
"I am also being embarrassed by my mother-in-law. She always wants me to go out to buy groceries. There are many servants in the house who can be used, but she always asks me to come out." Yan Zhenzhen said sullenly.
"I'm probably teaching you how to be a daughter-in-law. I was taught like this by my mother-in-law before. It's okay. She has no ill intentions. She is doing it all for your own good and for her own son. Just treat it as your own lover.
But doing this feels like it’s nothing.” Wu Yangjun, as an experienced person, gave her some guidance.
"I don't blame her for anything, but her son and I have just started. If he hadn't been seriously injured, I might have to take it slow with him." Yan Zhenzhen said worriedly.
"I can't give you any advice on this. However, everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious. This is what my husband taught me. Get along well and communicate slowly. You will be able to solve the problem at hand quickly." Wu Yangjun said.
"Okay, thank you, I understand." Yan Zhenzhen nodded.
The two chatted, and when they reached the next intersection, they left separately.
Wu Yangjun returned to the courtyard, and Hua Xiaodie made Hua Qingcheng angry again in the room.
"Hua Xiaodie! Come back here—! I haven't finished training you yet! You girl, you are paying less and less attention to me as a father!" Hua Qingcheng's voice reached Wu Yangjun's ears
side.
After she handed all the pumpkins to her servants, she hurried back to the room to see what the father and daughter were arguing about.
"Smelly daddy, your crippled leg is not healed yet, so please save your energy! It's hard to catch me!" Hua Xiaodie made a naughty face to annoy Hua Qingcheng.
The reason why Hua Qingcheng was angry was that Hua Xiaodie scribbled a piece of his treasured picture album and even tore off a corner. Even if he ran after her, he still wanted to catch this little girl and teach her a lesson.
Unable to catch up with the clever Hua Xiaodie, his injured foot hit the table leg instead, causing him to burst into tears from the pain.
Wu Yangjun came in and saw Hua Qingcheng leaning on the table in pain, while Hua Xiaodie was still making evil faces.
With a bang, Hua Xiaodie covered her head and squatted on the ground in pain.
"How are you?"
"it hurts......"
Wu Yangjun hugged Hua Qingcheng with heartache and carried her to the bed to look at his foot injury.
"Mom! Why are you so partial? You punched me in the face and you only care about your stinky daddy!" Hua Xiaodie pointed at them angrily and said.
"Didn't you see that your father's foot was injured? You bullied him and made him chase you. Do you want to punch him twice more?" Wu Yang Junxun said.
"I don't want to. If you are strong, you win. I won't argue with you, hum!" Hua Xiaodie cheered and went out to play.
"You just let her go and play. She just painted my picture album." Hua Qingcheng said sullenly.
"Child, I want to buy another picture album of yours. Don't be angry." Wu Yangjun coaxed.
"My picture album is a set. The first few books have been painted by her, and I didn't even miss the last one just now. It is out of print and cannot be bought. Why is she so difficult to teach? It's all your fault!
She always bullies me in front of her, causing me to have no status in her heart. She is no longer afraid of me." Hua Qingcheng became angrier as she spoke.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, don't be angry. I will slowly teach her to respect you. This girl is indeed too naughty. It would be great if Ruocha was here and she could bring Xiaoling over to teach her.
Teach her. If she likes Xiaoling so much, she will definitely listen to him." Wu Yangjun said with a sigh.
"Xiao Ling will run away immediately when he sees her." Hua Qingcheng uttered something.
