Yuqin and Xiao Gangzi also came to see the piglet, since Grandpa bought a sow last year, Yuqin has repeatedly expressed the meaning of buying the piglets of the Di family, but Grandpa only smiled and did not answer the call.
This time, Grandpa did not show up, the price quoted by Grandpa Zhangnu, the couple also could not accept it, did not talk a few times, and then lifted their feet and left.
Yu Qin also muttered as she walked, "Sanmazi is really dark-hearted, so expensive, who can afford it?" In two days, let's go to the pig market! ”
Pig Market
Lai Di followed behind, but his heart was relieved. Fortunately, Uncle Persisted, if he was not afraid of being a piglet, he would at least be "cut" by Yuqin to have four legs.
Every time someone came to see the pigs, as long as she came to Di's home, she would always follow like this, hoping to sell the pigs quickly. But the ending always disappointed her, Lai Di was a little anxious, watching the pig's dial after a wave, but as soon as she entered the negotiation link, she was carrying a bloody knife, eager to "cut" only a pig's head.
Aunt Zhang has been unmoved, letting go of three dollars at most, and no matter how much she dies, she will not let go. When those people saw that there was no hope of cutting again, they all retreated. If this continues, these pigs will not be able to sell.
However, the food in the family is almost empty, what should I do then?
Grandpa was in a very good state of mind, and when he heard Lai Di say, which family in the village came to see the pigs, the result was not sold, and he always sighed lightly, "It's okay."
bargain
On the surface, Aunt Zhang nu looked unfazed, but privately she was in a hurry, and she already had two fire sores on her mouth, but she was not willing to reduce the price of pigs to the way people hoped.
In his own words, it was, "If it were my own family, we would all be from a village, and even if we didn't give money, I would let you drive the pigs away." But this pig is my brother's, still waiting to sell the money to open the knife, you cut not the price, it is my brother's life! ”
There is no secret in Dongtou Port, after seeing the pigs from He Yunlong, the people in the village basically know that Grandpa's illness has to be saved by surgery, so Grandpa Zhang will not hide it.
Whether it is really not enough money, or want to take the opportunity to buy pigs at a low price, when you hear Lady Zhang's aunt say this, you are embarrassed to bargain again. However, at the price of twenty or thirty yuan of pigs, they really can't afford it, or they don't want to bear it, so they can only buy and sell without benevolence.
Slash
Tomorrow, Dacheng Bridge opens, which is the official debut of the pigs who came to the Di family. In the evening, Lai Di specially gave each pig a warm bath and cleaned it, hoping that they would be caught and taken home tomorrow.
Aunt Zhang and Lai Di came to Lai Di's house together, and he came to discuss the sale of pigs with Grandpa. Aunt Zhang was ready to borrow the production team's ox cart and pull all the piglets to the set to try their luck.
Grandpa listened, thought about it for half a day, didn't say anything, just asked, "Can you do it alone?" ”
Aunt Zhang nu was not quite sure, "Almost, I just don't know if anyone else will want it." ”
"Uncle, why don't you pull half of it first?" Lai Di suggested.
After so many disappointments, she no longer had much hope for these pigs, rather than pulling them and pulling them back, it was better to pull them halfway and save some effort.
Waste of effort
She actually hoped to go with Zhang Nu's father, not only can help push the cart, but after arriving, she can also help take care of it when Zhang Nu's aunt negotiates, but she was rejected by Zhang Nu's father, "Come, you are still young, these things don't worry about you, there is Uncle Zhang, you can read the book well." ”
At this time, Aunt Zhang was about to say something, but the door opened, and Dongzi was standing in the doorway.
Dongzi entered the door and said embarrassedly to Grandpa and Lady Zhang, "Uncle Mazi, the Emperor said that he was going to greet you." My grandfather said that the team must use cattle these days, I am afraid that I will not be able to lend you the ox cart. ”
Aunt Zhang was stunned and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I just asked that." What about flatbed trucks? Is it used in the flat convoy? ”
Dongzi shook her head, "The flatbed truck is not needed, it can be lent to you." As he spoke, he smiled at Grandpa again, "Uncle Mazi, my Grandpa said that if the piglet is not easy to sell, leave one for my family, and the price will be set by you." ”
Flatbed
Grandpa smiled and waved his hand, "Tomorrow, thank you Grandpa for me first." ”
Lou Wang'er was indeed a good person, and since Grandpa fell ill, he had given great care to the Lai Di family. Although the ox cart could not be borrowed this time, it made Dongzi send such good news. In fact, just after the End of the Year, Lou Wang's second family bought a piglet, and now the piglet that does not grow up to the Di family is slightly larger.
This should be that Lou Wang'er also heard that although there were many people who came to The Di family to see the pigs, none of them really paid for it, so they let Dongzi come and spread the word. In this way, Aunt Zhang Nu ate a reassuring pill, because no matter what, at least one pig already had a place to go. At the same time, this is also a good sign, have not officially sold it, has been ordered, tomorrow must be prosperous business.
But this is only the kindness of the Lou Wang's second family, but the Lai Di family can't accept it calmly, because everyone knows that no matter how rich the dongtou port is, there is no grain enough to maintain two pigs at the same time. Therefore, Grandpa did not immediately accept this kindness, but said that he would talk about it tomorrow.
kindness
Sending Dongzi away, Grandpa looked at Grandpa Zhang, "No cattle, are you still pulling them all over?" ”
Grandpa Zhang gritted her teeth, "Pull! ”
Grandpa asked again, "Or will you let your sister-in-law follow you?" ”
Aunt Zhang's gaze swept over Mu Ma's figure and shook her head, "Forget it, it's not heavy, or I'll go alone." ”
Mu Mama is already pregnant at this time, but for women in the rural areas of Jiangnan, don't say that they have just appeared pregnant, they are about to give birth, and the work that should be done still has to be done. Aunt Zhang refused to let Mu Ma follow, but simply felt that it was unnecessary, for him, using a flatbed truck to pull two or three hundred pounds was a piece of cake.
Moreover, the sister-in-law's mouth is not good, and she often says inappropriate things, so it is better for him to go alone, so as not to be dragged down.
Pull it all away
Grandpa was not at ease after all, "Then I will go with you?" ”
After all, this is the first time they have sold piglets, if Brother Can go, even if he doesn't say a word, he will feel more bottomed in his heart. What's more, with Brother's lips and tongue, which one can be overwhelmed?
However, after glancing at Brother Ah's withered and thin figure, Lady Zhang shook her head again, "Forget it, I'll go alone." Brother, don't you mean that these two families will depend on me in the future, I always have to, I always have to practice! ”
Yes, although Grandpa is sick and weak, he has always been the backbone of the two families. Don't look at the zhang girl's aunt who was born tall and has good craftsmanship, but if you really want to do anything, you must first listen to her father's opinion. In the future, if Grandpa is really gone, if Grandpa Zhang wants to set up a house, I'm afraid that she will have to practice now.
