"Auntie, there are no children who are not greedy. You just bought two shit candies for each of them." Li Jie's ability to observe people's emotions has long been maxed out, and he quickly patted his aunt on the shoulder and said something to calm down the scene.
atmosphere.
Dog shit candy does not refer to candy made from dog shit, but maltose candy sold by salesmen when they go to the countryside to pick goods. It costs one cent a piece, but many people are so poor that they don’t even have enough to eat, so how can they have the spare money to buy it for their children?
He wanted to eat candy, so he coaxed the child by saying that it was shit candy and he couldn’t eat it.
The more people shout, the maltose becomes shit candy.
After hearing this, the aunt felt a little more relaxed. She is not an unkind person. The child lived a really hard life in the country. After finally going to the city, it was normal to buy some snacks.
The most important point is that the soda is not 15 cents, but 5 cents. Thinking of this, the anger in her heart gradually disappeared.
But she didn't intend to spoil the two little ones. If she didn't talk about them, she would definitely not be able to keep the remaining dime. She reached out and tapped Meng Xiaoxing's forehead and said angrily.
"You prodigal son, look at how I will nag you to your mother when I get home!"
Meng Xiaoxing smiled, and then ran to take back the bottle. Honghua took a look and ran after Meng Xiaoxing.
I can get a dime back!
The weather is so hot now. One cent can buy two cream ice creams. Then one for her and one for me. Enjoy!
"Hey! This kid." The aunt was angry and funny when she saw this.
"Okay, okay, auntie, don't be angry. I'll take care of her later." Li Jie comforted her with a smile.
"Well, that's pretty much it." The aunt replied with a smile: "Little Wuzi is still sensible."
Li Jie smiled and shook his head, pulling his aunt to the fruit stall next to him: "Come on, aunt, Xiao Wuzi will buy you some fruit to take with you."
The aunt struggled slightly, but not very hard, just as a reminder.
Li Jie turned around and saw that his aunt had a troubled expression on her face. She probably didn't have any money on her. He immediately understood that she had misunderstood, so he said tactfully.
"I'll pay the money. Auntie, you can hold it in your hand later."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" After hearing this, the aunt's face immediately changed, and she patted Li Jie's arm with a smile: "Good boy, such a good boy."
After living for such a long time, how could she not understand that you should not go empty-handed when visiting other people's homes? It's not that she is stingy, but that she really has nothing to give. There are nearly ten people in their family, including the old and the young.
, Xiaoxiao, the centimeters earned are simply not enough to eat.
Radishes and sweet potatoes grown in the ground are non-staple foods for modern people, but in the countryside, they are staple foods for them. It's not that she is rude, but she is reluctant to bring them.
Li Jie also understood this, so he didn't ask his aunt to bring anything next time. After all, she and Han's mother were sisters, and their homes were not far away. It would be helpful if she could help. Life in the countryside was really difficult these days.
.
The brothers and sisters in the family privately complained about the aunt's behavior of often hitting Qiu Feng. Although the aunt was from the country, she was shrewd. Li Jie didn't believe that she couldn't see this.
However, there was nothing she could do. She was so poor that she couldn't even eat enough to eat, so why did she care about face? She didn't know whether face was more important or appearance was more important.
If she was concerned about her face and brought some sweet potatoes, radishes, etc. every time she came to the house, it would be shameful to have less of these. She would need a small snakeskin bag anyway, and a snakeskin bag can hold more than ten or twenty kilograms.
This is enough food for their family of ten for two to three days.
Bring as little as possible, she is here to ask for help, not to bring warmth.
The brothers and sisters of the Han family said privately that at least they were respectful in front of their aunt, but it was different with their neighbors, who suffered from the cold looks from their aunt.
If you really can't survive, who would be willing to lick your face and come to your door again and again.
Qianmen Street is very prosperous. You can basically buy food and clothing here, and they are all at the same price. One store does not sell apples for 2 cents and another sells them for 10 cents. At most, the freshness is different.
"Boss, take the fifty-cent apple!"
After finding a relatively fresh stall, Li Jie took out fifty cents from his pocket.
The third set of RMB is now used. The smallest denomination is one cent and the largest denomination is ten yuan.
That's right, it's just ten yuan. There are no denominations of twenty, fifty, or one hundred. If you go to the bank to withdraw ten thousand yuan, the bank can only give you one thousand "Great Unity" cards.
The reason why it is called "Great Unity" is because the main scene on the front of the ten-yuan banknote is the picture of "People's Representatives Walking Out of the Great Hall", which symbolizes the people's participation in and discussion of politics. The representatives of the National People's Congress come from all provinces and have compatriots of all ethnic groups, so it is also called "Great Unity".
It's called 'Great Unity'.
I bought three kilograms of apples for fifty cents. The apples at this time were very small, weighing just over a hundred grams each. Ten of them added up to almost three kilograms. Although it was still a bit shabby, it was better than walking in empty-handed.
After buying the apples, Li Jie took out three and gave them one to each of them.
He didn't let the two little ones carry the remaining apples, otherwise they would have to go shopping and eat like in the show. By the time they got to the door of their house, they would have eaten all the apples.
.
…………
"Auntie, just make two more turns and we'll be there soon."
As Li Jie spoke, he handed the apples in his hand to his aunt. He finally saved the bag of apples, otherwise they would be eaten by two little ones. For a moment, he really didn't know where to find the money to buy another one.
In the original drama, 'Han Chunming' was borrowed from Su Meng. Li Jie didn't want to borrow money from her. He didn't like Su Meng's temperament. She was self-centered and too proud.
Before entering the dungeon, Li Jie decided that he would not provoke Su Meng in this world. Although he was confident that he could subdue Su Meng, why bother to do so? Wouldn't it be delicious if he had the time to find others?
As for Su Meng, let's leave it to Cheng Jianjun. The two of them are quite a match because they are both little bourgeois.
And if Cheng Jianjun can marry Su Meng, maybe he won't make so many troubles in the future. In the original drama, Cheng Jianjun started the darkening process precisely because he realized that 'Han Chunming' and Su Meng liked each other and that he had no chance.
road.
Let's leave this opportunity to be a dog licker to Cheng Jianjun and let him lick it. I'm sure he won't mind.
The capital has slowly started to get hotter in June, and today is another sunny day. After walking for nearly half an hour under the sun, my aunt couldn't help but sigh when she saw the familiar gate.
"Hey, I'm finally home. This road is really roundabout. Even if I walk eight hundred times, I still can't find the way."
At this moment, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old with twin tails walked out of the courtyard.
