Chen Miao knew that the four carpenters were having dinner at home at noon. They had brought food with them, so they still had to cook it for them.
"Okay, mom, what do you want to buy?"
"Nothing. I have everything at home."
Chen Miao saw that the cabinet was ready and the paint had dried. What she requested was two vertical cabinets, with a three-section cabinet in the middle. The other main room was the same, and the remaining two rooms had one vertical cabinet and one panel cabinet.
Cabinet, the rest is a large bookshelf.
"I'll move it over for you this afternoon."
"Dad, this cabinet is really nice."
"It's okay, but you don't want to paint it, it's all wood grain."
"Dad, don't you think it looks better this way?"
Chen Dongsheng sighed. "I don't think it looks good."
Chen Dou came back happily with his third sister. The two brothers had finished practicing.
They were unwilling to wear cotton wool, so they had no choice but to hold it. It was already mid-November and it was still quite cold.
This time Luo Bingyuan was with us, and he was responsible for looking after the car.
Zhao Xiaoyun was also driving a carriage with two children.
There were a lot of people going to the market at this time. Chen Miao told the four children to be careful not to get lost.
In fact, most of them came to watch the fun. Even Zhao Xiaoyun didn't have anything to buy. He just told his mother-in-law that he would accompany Chen Miao to buy a kang mat.
In fact, she never came out. That means she was lucky enough to meet such parents-in-law. Otherwise, which daughter-in-law would not be collecting shoe soles to make cotton shoes at home?
Chen Dou held Yunshan's hand and refused to let go. "Auntie is scared, afraid of getting lost. Yunshan, you have to hold my hand, what if I get lost?"
Chen Miao almost laughed out loud. The little girl is really pretty good. She should be taught how to read. She should be able to turn her head fast enough and it would be a bad idea if she was buried.
Zhao Xiaoyun bought a piece of fried cake for each of the four children.
"Are you making money by yourself?" Chen Miao teased her.
"Of course, I will deliver three pairs of soles in two days."
"sharp."
"Of course, I want to treat the children to delicious food today." In fact, the money was given by her mother-in-law. In the past, Chen Miao bought food for her children when she went to the market. And the last time about the wolf bones, how could she be so embarrassed?
Are you taking advantage of others?
She would definitely not accept it from other aspects, so it would be good for the children. Besides, the two brothers Yun Shan and Yun Xin were also lovable.
"There are people selling candied haws. When will we go up the mountain? You have brought back so many wolves this year that they are scared and are waiting to go up the mountain with you."
"Aren't you in a hurry? My sweet potatoes haven't been removed yet?"
Zhao Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at Chen Miao and said, "You are the only one who has not been eliminated from the village yet. Your eldest brother and I will follow you to do it tomorrow."
"That's great."
The old seedlings were removed deliberately late. As long as they don't freeze.
Children are very thoughtful. No one wants candied haws, everyone knows it is sour.
When they arrived at the meat pie stall, Chen Miao asked them to go in together.
"Let's go to the market first. It's almost time to eat when we get back. I'm not hungry yet."
Chen Dou also said the same thing, he doesn't want to eat it now.
In this case, we continued. When we saw Chen Miao who was selling baskets and cages, he insisted on buying them, but Zhao Xiaoyun took him away. "Your elder brother brought back a lot of branches, soaked them, and waited for a while to weave them. I will weave them for you."
."
This was a wedding gift that the couple wanted to give to Chen Miao. They really couldn't think of what to give her. She has money and a lot of food. In the end, she decided to give it to these guys who didn't spend any money and she still needed it.
"Then I won't buy it. You ask my elder brother to make me two big baskets, four baskets, and four cages."
"Medium, there must be no problem."
In fact, Chen Miao just came to buy meat and Kang mats, and didn't need anything else.
We have discussed with the kang mat seller and asked for two big ones and two smaller ones. I will give them away.
If you can buy four yuan at a time, of course I will give it as a gift. I also gave Chen Miao a reed curtain. Anyway, it was a gift, and I might be able to use it in the future.
When we arrived at the food store, we bought ten jins of millet, ten jins of red beans, and five jins of rice beans. We agreed to give them away.
When I see cotton sellers, I buy them all, and cloth buyers do the same thing. Buying at the big market saves you going to the county town.
They all told me to come over after a while and asked them to be taken to the car together.
Further ahead was a meat stall, and I ordered half a fan of pork. I didn’t see anyone selling beef or donkey meat today, but there was one selling mutton, and I bought a sheep.
"Xiao Feng's family, what are you doing?"
"As a moving gift, I need to treat you to dinner."
"Then you bought too much, right?"
"It's not much, I need to eat it at home." Actually, I wanted to give my father half a sheep and some pork.
After buying a cage of eggs, I asked the seller to follow me.
Chen Dou led Yunshan and led the meat and grain sellers from the back of the market.
When Chen Miao went to hawk cloth and cotton and kang mats, he did the same thing. Their speeds were about the same and they arrived near the carriage together.
Luo Bingyuan looked at what Chen Miao bought and thought that he really bought a lot.
Now that the money is clear, there is no need for banknotes in the countryside. There are still a lot of Chen Miao copper coins, which is good. In fact, I am afraid that the banknotes will be too rough and the people will be wronged.
"Shall we go back to Xiaofeng's family?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "Let's go eat meat pie."
"I'm not going. Go home and bake meat cakes to eat. Don't spend money blindly."
I didn't give any money when I was selling things just now, so I didn't think anything was wrong. Just watching her pay for it made Zhao Xiaoyun feel distressed.
"You don't have anything to buy?"
"We just came to watch the excitement. We have nothing to buy. Go home quickly. You spent so much money in just a short time." After Zhao Xiaoyun finished speaking, he dragged her into the car.
Chen Miao twitched the corner of her mouth. She really had no choice but to go back.
Chen Miao looked at the girl who was coaxing her sons to play, "Are you going to school?"
Chen Dou was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "I won't go."
"why are you not going?"
"Where are the girls going to school?"
"Why not? Aren't we advocating equality between men and women now? If you don't believe me, just ask Chen Tong, there must be girls in their class.
Don’t worry. I’ll go talk to my parents. You still need to be educated. You won’t be trapped in this small mountain village in the future. You can go outside and have a look.”
"Yes, my aunt is right. I will also go to school in the future, and my grandpa asked me to go."
Chen Miao smiled and touched Jiaojiao's head. "You know this even if you look at a child, go ahead."
"But what about the work at home?"
"Can't you just take the time to do it?"
How could Chen Dou not want to go to school? Now he has learned a lot of Chinese characters from his younger brother and can also write. Even if he thinks about going to school by himself, his mother will do all the work at home.
"Don't think too much. How old are you? Go to school. I'll tell my parents when I get back."
"From the Xiaofeng family, is Jiaojiao old enough to go to school?"
"I don't know either. You can go to school and ask. I think it should be possible. Jiaojiao will be seven years old during the Chinese New Year."
