    ?

    Yunjing closed the door and looked out through the crack in the door. He saw the salesman staying at the door of his house for a moment, then he picked up the load again with a dumbfounded look on his face, and left, surrounded by a group of children, shaking his rattle and shouting.

    After scratching his little head, Yun Jing thought to himself that he was too cautious?

    However, he does not regret his action of shutting the other party out. There is nothing wrong with putting his own safety first.

    The salesman shouted and walked away. Yunjing thought for a while and opened the door and came to the yard to look in the direction where the salesman left.

    I saw him arriving under a big apricot tree in the middle of the village a few hundred meters away. Then I don¡¯t know what method he used, and the group of children surrounding him suddenly dispersed.

    What kind of trouble is this?

    After a while, a little boy of four or five years old stumbled over with a runny nose.

    When passing by the door of Yunjing's house, Yunjing immediately asked: "Brother Maverick, why are you running?"

    That is Yun Xiaoniu from the third uncle¡¯s family in the village. Yun Jing knows him. Country people are not very educated and they choose names very casually. There are not ten but eight people in Xiaoxi Village named Xiaoniu

    Hearing Yun Jing's words, Yun Xiaoniu seemed very anxious and said: "The salesman uncle said, let us call the adults. If any adults buy something from him, they will give us a candy as a reward, Xiao Jing."  You should also go and call your uncle and aunt. If the salesman is gone, you won¡¯t have this chance"

    After saying this, Yun Xiaoniu ran away like a gust of wind.

    It turns out that this is what happened. Yunjing looked at the salesman stationed in the middle of the village, and probably understood that he came to trade sincerely, otherwise there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

    ¡°Tsk, I guess I¡¯m really overly cautious. Could it be that I have delusions of being persecuted?

    It has to be said that the salesman was a bit clever. He made a bunch of little kids scream and scream after making a promise that he didn't know whether it would be realized or not.

    As expected, it didn¡¯t take long for adults to come back one after another in the village, and the village suddenly became lively.

    ¡°Obviously, it¡¯s too far from the village to the town, and usually the villagers would hardly go there if there was nothing important. Now it¡¯s rare for a salesman to deliver goods to their doorsteps, and the villagers don¡¯t want to miss this opportunity.

    It is undeniable that the goods sold by the salesman are definitely a little more expensive than those in the town, but he takes the initiative to deliver the goods to the door, saving the villagers a lot of effort, and it is impossible to say who loses and who gains.

    As the salesman said, the things he traded could be bought with money or exchanged with grain. From a distance, the trading scene seemed quite lively, with a large group of villagers surrounding him after hearing the news.

    It is rare for the village to be so lively, and the peaceful days seem to come alive all of a sudden.

    The transaction was still going on over there, and soon Yunjing¡¯s parents and family members came back.

    "Is Xiaojing good at home?" Yunmu first held Yunjing in her arms and kissed her.

    Although it was obvious that she came back early because she wanted to trade something with the salesman, but in her eyes, her children came first.

    With a grin, Yunjing said, "Mom, I'm very good and I didn't run around."

    "Well, my Xiaojing is the best, can you take me to see the fun later?" After saying that, she looked back at Yunshan who put down the hoe and asked: "Head of the family, how much money do we have left?"

    "There are still thirteen copper coins," Yunshan replied after thinking for a while, and then asked: "What are you going to buy, kid? I don't know if it will be enough."

    Jiang Susu thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy some needlework. Xiao Jing is two years old now and has no new clothes to wear. If conditions permit, I would like to buy two feet of cloth to make him a new clothes. What do you think?"

    As she said that, she subconsciously hugged Yunjing tightly and looked at Yunshan with some anxiety.

    Yunjing has really never worn new clothes since he was born. All he wears are grown-ups¡¯ old clothes that have been downsized. He still has several patches on his body.

    The word "poverty" of poor people can be said to be vividly reflected, which is beyond the imagination of those people in Yunjing's previous life who picked up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to curse.

    Hearing this, Yunshan glanced at Yunjing and gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, our family's life will get better and better in the future. It's time to give Xiaojing some new clothes. I just don't know if I have enough money."

    "If it's not enough, just use grain to exchange it. Just pretend that the extra harvest from that acre of land last year doesn't exist, and the hundred or so kilograms of grain that weren't produced in previous years didn't starve to death," said Yun Lin, who was walking into the yard at this time.

    In this lean season, Yunjing is well aware of how precious food is. At this moment, he smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, I don't want new clothes."

    "Our grandson is now sensible. Okay, okay, that's all."It's time to give him a new set of clothes." Yun Lin heard this and said with a comforting smile. He didn't know if he really believed Yun Jing was sensible.

    Then, he urged Yunshan Jiang Susu: "What are you still doing standing here? Hurry up, it's too late and all the good things have been picked up by others."

    So, the family got busy. Yunshan rummaged through the boxes and took out the thirteen copper coins left at home. Yunlin went to prepare food that might be used in exchange. Jiang Susu hugged Yunjing and looked at the trading place in the middle of the village.  .

    Seeing this cloud scene, I said nothing more.

    "My family would rather tighten their belts than buy themselves a new set of clothes. The grace of upbringing cannot be fulfilled even if they spend everything they have"

    The next transaction went smoothly. Amidst the commotion of a group of villagers, the Yunjing family bought two needles, some thread and three feet of coarse cloth from the seller. They could barely make Yunjing a set of clothes, and there was probably some cloth left.

    ¡°For this reason, his family not only spent all thirteen copper coins, but also spent seven kilograms of rice on it.

    Yunjing observed that when trading with the salesman, it was actually a time for the villagers to compare themselves secretly. Whoever bought something good would attract the envious eyes of a group of people. The envied people would often sigh and say that they were impulsive.  What a day.

    By the way, Yunjing¡¯s family bought three feet of cloth and was envied by others.

    The most enviable thing this time is that a family bought a bronze mirror from a salesman for eight coins, which made people jealous.

    Bronze mirrors are a luxury item that most villagers in Xiaoxi Village cannot even imagine. Almost no one has that thing, and it is too expensive if it cannot be eaten. Now someone bought a bronze mirror in person and suddenly became a villager.  their focus.

    The family who bought the bronze mirror is the richest man in the village. The only tile-roofed house in the village belongs to his family, and his family also has cattle

    No matter what, whether they are envious or just showing off, the villagers don¡¯t have any bad intentions. They are just having fun. After a short period of noise, the days will return to calm.

    During the transaction between Yunjing's family and the salesman, the salesman clearly recognized Yunjing and said with a smile that you are so funny, you little devil. You wanted to beg for a bowl of water and you turned me away with an excuse. Now you call me uncle.  I'll give you a candy to eat.

    ¡°Obviously he didn¡¯t take Yun Jing¡¯s teasing to heart to heart. Also, how petty could he be to be angry with a two-year-old baby?

    When he said this, the villagers asked what was going on. After what happened to the salesman Daoqing at Yunjing's house, there was a burst of laughter. They all praised Yunjing for his cleverness, which made him feel embarrassed and turned red in the face.  .

    Then, under the envious eyes of a group of drooling children, Yunjing called uncle and was rewarded with a candy.

    The so-called sugar is about the size of a fingernail.

    Yunjing held it in his hand, glanced at it and curled his lips secretly, not to mention eating it, he wanted to throw it away.

    The small yellowish-brown grains are clearly flour grains mixed with a little brown sugar (sucrose). Not to mention whether they are sweet or not, they also have a slight odor.

    Just this, a group of children were so envious that their saliva was drooling.

    The noise is always short-lived. After half a day, the villagers completed their transactions and dispersed. The salesman processed less than half of the goods and got some money, and more was the grain in exchange. He left with the load, and the pole was bent.  , and his waist was also bent.

    Life, in fact, is not easy for anyone (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
