Seeing a few people agreeing to the deal, Li Mo said: "However, there are a few things we need to agree on in advance for this deal. The first is that I only plan to supply goods to a few of you for the time being, because I can trust your character. If other people come to you, don't promise anything lightly, if you are not reliable, it will only increase unnecessary troubles; the second is, when you go out to sell, you'd better set a uniform price, don't set it arbitrarily, Otherwise, it may cause trouble in the end, what do the sister-in-laws think of these points?"
What Li Mo said has been carefully considered. The supplier must find a trustworthy person with guaranteed character. Once everyone supplies the supply, everyone may have disputes in order to seize the market in the end, and it is difficult to protect people with bad intentions. I will not secretly covet her prescription; and the price, there is a unified price, there will be no conflicts between everyone, and buyers will not have objections due to different purchase prices.
The three of Yang Lanhua were also sensible, and they felt that what Li Mo said made sense, so the three of them nodded in agreement. In the end, Qian Xianglian took out another 8 Wen and took two boxes, "My two older sisters must definitely I like it, I will give them two boxes first, and then I will look at it, and I will come to you if I want to buy it."
Yang Lanhua and Li Xiaofeng looked at each other, looked at Li Mo's remaining four boxes of balm, and decided to each take one box to recommend to her natal family, which would definitely be sold.
Li Mo now only has two boxes of balm left in her hand. If there are no accidents, the next few sister-in-laws should come to her to get the goods, so she will have to make a little more next time, and Uncle Zhang will also order more. Several boxes left.
After talking to Song Dashan, Song Dashan immediately went to Uncle Zhang to order another 30 boxes, and then planned to accompany Li Mo to the mountains tomorrow to pick some flowers.
Speaking of going to the mountains, Song Dashan thought about it, and told Li Mo that he wanted to visit his sister. He hadn't visited his sister since he came back. I don't know if she was affected by the rain this time. influences.
Li Mo was slightly surprised, it was the first time she knew that Song Dashan had a younger sister.
"I have a younger sister, but she was sold when she was 7 years old." Speaking of this, Song Dashan sighed. Living alone with our four brothers and sisters was very difficult, and later, when we could no longer live on, my mother sold my younger sister to someone else."
Li Mo remembered that selling children and daughters often happened in this era, but Song Dashan's younger sister was also sold. In this era, most people are reluctant to sell their sons and choose to sell their daughters.
"Then why is your sister in the mountains? Was she sold into the mountains?" Li Mo was puzzled.
"Back then, Ren Yazi wanted to sell his sister to the town, but I followed the carriage all the way, and I couldn't drive me away if Ren Yazi couldn't drive me away. I was scared, so I said that I only needed two taels of silver. I could take my sister away, but at that time I didn’t have any money, and I couldn’t find anyone to help me.”
When Song Dashan said this, there was deep guilt and powerlessness in his eyes, and he continued after a while: "My sister and I often went to play in the mountains since we were young, and there was a son of a mountain family who played with us. We have a very good relationship, but there was nothing I could do, so I ran to him to find a solution, and he begged his father. His mother died early, and his father was also in poor health because of hunting injuries. He was afraid that his son would be alone after death. So I agreed and bought my sister to be his child bride."
"and after?"
"Uncle and Tiezi are very kind to my sister. My sister doesn't want to go home anymore. Since then, I have stayed in the mountains. I often visit my sister. Before I went to serve in the army, the two of them were married. I don't know what happened now. .”
Upon hearing this, Li Mo asked, "What's your sister's attitude towards her family now?"
Song Dashan: "My younger sister has a strong temper. Since then, she has not recognized other members of the family, and only associates with me."
Li Mo nodded, feeling a little appreciative of this younger sister whom she had never met before.
It can be heard that Song Dashan and his younger sister have a very good relationship. In order to see this younger sister, Li Mo thought about it, went to Aunt Zhao's house, bought 20 eggs for ten Wen, and then took a box of ointment to pack In the basket, the family went to the mountains with the basket on their backs.
Song Dashan took Li Mo and Xiaobao on his back, turned over a mountain, and walked for an hour before seeing a house, which was the house of the mountain people living in this mountain.
The mountain people here have no land, and they all rely on hunting for a living. When they catch prey, they take it to the town to sell, and then buy some daily necessities. When they can catch prey, their life is good, but in winter or when the weather is bad If so, life will be more difficult.
Song Dashan led Li Mo to a thatched cottage, saw the door was open, and shouted inside: "Meizi, are you home?"
After a while, a woman with a woman's hair bun hurried out from inside. When she saw Song Dashan, her eyes turned red immediately, and she hurried towards the door, "Brother, are you back? Are you really back? "
Song Dashan smiled, and said to his sister: "Brother is back, I will bring your sister-in-law and nephew to see you today." He stepped aside and introduced Li Mo to Meizi.
Only then did Meizi see Li Mo behind Song Dashan, although she couldn't react, she immediately called out "Sister-in-law", and then invited Li Mo to the house, "Sister-in-law, come in quickly."
At this time, Xiaobao, who was in Song Dashan's arms, called Meizi "Auntie". He recognized this aunt. She had visited him before and gave him sweets, but she told him not to tell others, so he didn't tell anyone. Others have said it.
Meizi responded, hugged Xiaobao into her arms, and kissed her, "Xiaobao seems to have gained weight."
Feeling that he was being praised, Xiaobao smiled happily, and said to Meizi: "Auntie, Xiaobao is full every day, and his stomach is 'popping'." He patted his stomach as he spoke.
Several people were amused by Xiaobao.
Seeing that he is lively and his little face has grown flesh, Mei Zi has a general idea of what this new sister-in-law is like, and she is even more enthusiastic about Li Mo right now.
It's just that when she saw Song Dashan's lame leg, Meizi's tears still flowed out, and she choked up, "Brother, your leg, did you get this leg from the war?"
Song Dashan nodded, patted his sister's head to comfort her, "It's okay, brother is fine, don't be sad."
How could she be fine even if her legs were lame? Meizi couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of her brother's hardships in the past few years, and hated that family even more in her heart.
Seeing that Song Dashan couldn't help it, Li Mo stepped forward and held Meizi's hand to comfort him, "Meizi, your brother's leg can be cured. There is a doctor in the city who can cure it. We will give it to you and me when we save enough money. Look at your legs."
Li Mo's words made Meizi find hope, "Really? Can it be cured? That's really great." When she was happy, she remembered that it would cost a lot of money to cure her legs, and she became worried again, "Sister-in-law, my brother How much does this leg cost? I still have a little here, you can show my brother the leg first."
Li Mo looked at the worry in Mei Zi's eyes, and felt a little comforted. It seems that not all relatives are like those of the Song family, and there are still people who really care about Song Dashan.
Li Mo smiled and said to Meizi: "Meizi, don't worry, we will raise money for your brother's treatment soon, if you finally praise the money, just keep it and live a good life."
Song Dashan also nodded, "Brother can't help you, and your life is also sad, you and Tiezi live well, don't worry about brother." After finishing speaking, Song Dashan looked at the room and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he calmed down and asked : "Where's Tie Zi?"
Meizi wiped away her tears, "Tiezi went hunting early in the morning, and he will be back around noon. By the way, brother, you haven't seen your nephew yet, have you? He's still sleeping on the bed, so I'll show you." Go to the room to pick up the baby.
Li Mo quickly stopped her, "The child is still sleeping, let him sleep, it's the same when we wake up."
After hearing this, Meizi smiled embarrassedly, said "Hey", and didn't go to hold the child anymore.
At this time, Meizi saw Li Mo's basket on the table, and she was upset immediately, "Brother, what else did you and sister-in-law bring? You don't need to tell me, I know that family won't give you anything good, you live a long life." It’s also difficult, so why spend money on it!”
Song Dashan shook his head, "I didn't bring it, but your sister-in-law insisted on it." He said and looked at Li Mo.
Li Mo smiled, "It's not a good thing, I just brought a few eggs and a box of balm made by my sister-in-law, it's not worth much."
Meizi complained, "Don't come next time, or you won't come to see me."
Li Mo and Song Dashan both laughed.
After Meizi finished speaking, she was very interested in the balm that Li Mo said. She took it out to have a look, opened it and smelled it, and was slightly surprised, "Sister-in-law, you made this? I thought it was bought from a powder shop .”
"I made it. You use it. If you like it, I will bring it to you next time."
Meizi found that her sister-in-law was very different from ordinary village women.
At noon, Mei Zi insisted on staying with Li Mo's family for dinner, but they couldn't make it, so all three of them stayed.
The meal was ready, and Tie Zi, who had gone hunting, came back with two rabbits and a pheasant in his hand.
Seeing Song Dashan and Li Mo coming to the house, Tie Zi immediately greeted in surprise, "Brother, you are back!"
After speaking, he looked at Li Mo.
Meizi reminded him that she was sister-in-law, and the tall man immediately scratched his head and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Li Mo looked at the tall and strong man next to Meizi, and thought he was a good match for Meizi.
Meizi is unfortunate, but she is also lucky. Although her life is poor, she looks very happy.
Li Mo and Mei Zi brought the food to the table, and Li Mo caught the two little guys who were going crazy and brought them back to eat. Together, the adults who watched couldn't help laughing.
After dinner, Li Mo and Song Dashan were about to say goodbye, and they still had to pick flowers to make ointment in two afternoons.
Meizi took a rabbit and a pheasant beaten by Tiezi and stuffed them into Song Dashan's back basket. Song Dashan refused, resolutely refusing to take it, but Meizi insisted on giving it. The two saw each other, and finally Li Mo decided to accept it It's over.
This is my sister's wish, I accept it, and I'll just bring something better for my sister next time I come.
