From the inside of the Yukou space, Tang Chunming could see the outside scene clearly. Tang Chunming stayed in the space for ten minutes. After confirming that no one had appeared in this alley, he left the space with A Lin in his arms, and suddenly appeared in the alley. In the middle, Tang Chunming, who had changed back to his original attire, put down A Lin, took his hand and walked out of the alley.
"A Lin, tell my mother that if you want to eat, my mother will buy it for you." Tang Chunming waved his other empty hand imposingly, and there was more than fifty taels of silver in the space. Once the local tyrants have a hand, they must first meet the needs of their sons.
Ah Lin was very happy when she knew that Grandma had bought the vegetables. She raised her head and asked with sparkling eyes, "Mama, can I buy candied haws for Da Mao Ermao?"
"He's really my good son, of course, mother will buy it for you right away, and you can give it to Da Mao and Er Mao when you get home, okay?" Tang Chunming immediately affirmed his son's generosity, and he didn't want to train him to be a stingy man stingy brother.
"Okay!" Brother Zhao Lin pounded his little head like a chicken eating rice.
The big one and the young one went back to the West Market again. Seeing that the weather was getting closer to the time agreed with Shen Fulang and the others, Tang Chunming bought three more candied haws for A Lin and put them in the back of his back, and then he was going to start shopping.
When he came to the meat stall with his son, his eyes were almost swollen. Although he had big bone soup and occasionally ate some pork liver to satisfy his cravings, the days of eating big pieces of meat have become a thing of the past since he came here. A kind of extravagant hope, this time with a full wallet, Tang Chunming decided to enjoy his addiction to eating meat. With a wave of his hand, he asked the butcher stall owner to cut him twenty catties of pork belly. On the liar.
Tang Chunming readily paid two hundred and eighty renminbi for pork belly at fourteen cents a catty, and the meat stall owner smiled after receiving the money. The lotus leaves were wrapped for him and put into the back of the betel. Of course, when Tang Chunming picked up the back of the betle again, the meat inside had already been transferred into the space.
Then, sugar, salt, vinegar, flour, rice... Tang Chunming took his son to search all the way. I hurried to the agreed Liangji Food Shop, but before I got to the door, I ran into Li Feng who came out to look for them because he was worried.
The faces of one big and one small were flushed, it was because of the heat of running, and also because of the excitement, A Lin was infected by Grandma's actions, and he was no longer as timid and afraid as he was at the beginning.
Seeing Li Feng's gloomy face, Tang Chunming quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot the time when I was watching something. Did you guys wait too long?"
Ah Lin shouted happily: "Uncle Feng!"
Li Feng didn't know how to describe his feelings. After leaving the two mother and child alone, he couldn't feel at ease. The West Market was crowded with people, and Tang Chunming could easily get separated with a child. Besides, what kind of people were there in this area? There are all of them, including human traffickers, big and small, they are not bad in appearance, it is easy to be targeted by such people, if I knew it earlier, I should have brought Yu Mu with me, since he is watching the big and small, I don't have to worry about them getting into trouble.
Of course, Fulang Shen wouldn't be able to see his intentions unless he exposed them himself, but fortunately, Fulang Shen also knew that it would not be safe to leave the big and small outside, so he didn't delay too much in the school. left for a long time. When the two of them parked the ox cart and came to Liangji Food Shop, they couldn't find the big and small figures at all, Li Feng couldn't help clenching his fists. When Shen Fulang was also anxious because he couldn't find anyone, Li Feng took the initiative to take up the task of finding people.
Now seeing the person standing in front of him intact, Li Feng secretly let go of his clenched fists, but knowing that he had no position to criticize, he bent down and patted A Lin on the head and said, "Good boy." He stretched out his hand to Tang Chunming.
Tang Chunming didn't know why, and looked at a big hand stretched out in front of him in confusion. It was as big as his current two, and it was very rough.
"Carry the basket." Li Feng's low voice sounded, and Tang Chunming finally understood what he meant. It turned out that this man wanted to help him carry his things, but he was a kind person. Well, even though he was a man, he put most of his things into it. In the space, only a part of the outside was left as a cover, but after working for a while, the body was well recuperated and the time was limited, so I was a little tired, so I handed my back to the man unceremoniously, and said: "thanks."
Li Feng held the beetle in one hand, bent down and hugged A Lin, and then answered Tang Chunming's initial question: "Not long ago, Mrs. Shen was inside." After speaking, he turned and led the way.
Seeing him turn around and walk in front, Tang Chunming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, when Li Feng stood in front of him and looked at him with those bottomless black eyes, he felt a lot of pressure. , Now look up and look at the height of the person in front, maybe it is the pressure brought by the big difference in height, such a height and physique are specially designed to hit him, don’t you know it’s easy to make him drool
Tang Chunming followed Li Feng empty-handed, walked into the Liangji food shop, and saw Shen Fulang looking up at a glance. When he saw Li Feng and the child in his arms, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Feng walked over and handed the child to Shen Fulang, and conveniently put the back bean that he had been carrying on the ground next to their table, Shen Fulang saw that there was a lot of stuff in the back, and said with a smile: "Look. You bought a lot of things here."
"There are candied haws." Alin held up a small piece of candied haws still left in his hand.
The three of them were talking here, and Li Feng put down the things in his hands and went to feed them. When a big bowl of broth noodles was served to each of them, Tang Chunming raised his head in surprise and said thanks. Unexpectedly, in this society where men are respected, masculinity prevails, and there are not many people who serve their brothers silently. In particular, he carefully asked the boss for an empty small bowl to serve Ah Lin with noodles. Fulang Shen jokingly said: "I didn't expect that Boy Feng would be quiet, but he would take care of others. In the future He is also a brother who loves me, I don’t know who has this blessing.”
Tang Chunming was pouring noodles into an empty bowl, a large bowl would be enough for mother and son to share, and he took a pair of chopsticks for A Lin to eat by himself, and put away the candied haws in his hand first. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stare at Li Feng. At first glance, although he couldn't see any abnormality on his bronze-colored face, Tang Chunming felt that his face was blushing, and couldn't help but feel happy.
Li Feng ate the noodles wheezingly, as if he didn't hear Fulang Shen's joke, and Fulang Shen didn't think it different, knowing that this person looked scary on the face, but he was kind-hearted, so he could treat A Lin with his attitude. see.
Although the taste of the noodle soup was mediocre, Tang Chunming ate it with relish, and the portion was very large. He shared a big bowl with Ah Lin, and both the big one and the small one were full. But men are different, after eating a big bowl of noodles, they stopped after eating two big steamed buns. Tang Chunming guessed that he was not completely full.
After eating the noodles, everyone paid their own bills. Tang Chunming paid five cents, but Li Feng refused politely. This made Tang Chunming find it easier to accept. Taking advantage of others for nothing.
After leaving the restaurant, Shen Fulang and Tang Chunming acted together, while Li Feng went to do his own business. Fulang Shen hugged Ah Lin and told Tang Chunming, "Boy Feng also needs to buy some things at home. Some things are cheaper in the county. Besides, our place is not too far from the county town." It takes more than an hour to ride an ox cart in the town. The animals in Lizheng’s family are big green mules, which are faster than the ox cart. It takes two hours to get to the county town, but of course it takes more time to ride an ox cart. Yes, I really have to go to the county town, I'm afraid I can hurry back and forth in a day, and I can't stay in the city for too long, Li Zheng's family also bought this head because of the two boys who are studying in the county. Big green mule.
According to Fulang Shen, the cloth in the county is cheaper than the cloth in the town, so when he comes to the county, sometimes some acquaintances will ask him to bring some cloth back. On the way here, Fulang Shen mentioned This matter, so Tang Chunming bought a lot of things before, but Buzhuang didn't go in and look at it.
A Lin lay on Shen Fulang's shoulders, his eyelids were almost raised, and the two adults slowly walked to the cloth village where Shen Fulang often went. Tang Chunming needs a lot of cloth in his plan, and the cotton clothes will not be considered for the time being until the second half of the year. When the weather warms up, he and A Lin's single clothes will need to be replaced inside and out, and the ones in the stomach cannot I really ignored it, and the quilts and sheets at home, in his opinion, it's best to change them all.
Auspicious Cloth Village is not a high-grade cloth shop. It mainly targets the ordinary people in the surrounding areas and the rural villagers around the county town. Therefore, after seeing Mr. Shen and Fulang come in, Xiaoer was very enthusiastic and introduced the cloth shop to them. The newly arrived fabric. Mrs. Shen often came, and the old rules asked Xiaoer to cut some pieces of material, and picked out another piece of fine cotton cloth with better quality for the two sons.
"Brother Ming, this fabric is pretty good. I plan to make two singles for the two boys in my family. Didn't you say you want to buy it for Alin? I think this kind of texture is good. You might as well choose a brighter color. "A Lin is still young, and the requirements for keeping filial piety are much more relaxed than adults, so Shen Fulang said so, and he would not recommend brightly colored fabrics for Tang Chunming.
The cotton cloth in Mrs. Shen's hand is blue. Tang Chunming thinks this color is good. He doesn't like to wear pink bright ones to dress up in a fancy way like other brothers. Of course, Alin is still young, so of course he is so cute. How come. So according to what Shen Fulang said, I cut a few pieces of softer material for A Lin, and also ordered blue and white fine cotton cloth, and bought some linen. Grind some.
These fabrics cost Tang Chunming nearly a tael of silver, not to mention Mrs. Shen, even Tang Chunming felt his eyelids twitch a few times. In addition to the previous shopping, he spent more than six taels of silver this day, especially Those brushes and ordinary rice paper are the most expensive. Before, I thought I was a rich man, but now I realize that at this speed, the money in my hand will not last long.
Shen Fulang couldn't help persuading: "Brother Ming, you have to save some money, you will have a baby again, and you will have to pay taxes in the second half of the year. By the way, the corvee will also come down after the spring plowing. Get ready."
Tang Chunming had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to him: "I put away the money separately, it won't be bad, you know, I'm going to plant vegetables in the yard earlier, and the vegetables can be produced sooner. There are also chickens at home. If they are raised well, I plan to raise some more. At that time, picking eggs or selling chickens will also be a source of income. I have thought about it. It is impossible for us mother and son to live well by saving money alone. .”
Listening to Tang Chunming's arrangement, Mrs. Shen knew that Tang Chunming had a plan in mind, so he patted his hand with confidence and said, "I think these ideas are good. Anyway, you won't be able to plant those fields yourself this year. It's really better to put your energy into it." They are all put in other places, but more chickens need to be taken care of carefully.”
In the afternoon, with a cart full of things, Alin fell asleep in Shen Fulang's arms and was woken up by Tang Chunming when the mule cart stopped in front of Tang Chunming's house.
As soon as the door opened, Xiaohua rushed out first. When A Lin was still rubbing his eyes, Xiaohua was already circling around his feet, and the big one and Ermao also ran out.
