After the four members of the Lu family left the Chen family's embroidery shop, they went straight to the vegetable market.

Gu Yunxi was thinking about buying meat and polished rice. The brown rice she had eaten at the Lu family these days was too hard to swallow. She felt like she had lost weight due to hunger.

The original owner was already thin, but if he continued like this, he would really be skin and bones.

What Mr. He was thinking was that Lu Jianan and Lu Qingqing were growing tall. Before, the family really didn't have any extra money to buy meat. This time Gu Yunxi's tricks sold for a lot of money. It was worth celebrating and giving some money to the little ones. Relieve cravings and replenish the body.

Several people went to the shop where they bought meat last time and cut two kilograms of pork directly. They also bargained with the pork stall owner and bought a lot of pig bones with scattered pork for three cents.

The pork originally cost sixteen cents per catty, but the Lu family bought two catties and bargained with the stall owner. In the end, it cost fifteen cents per catty. Including the pork bones, the total cost was thirty-three cents.

Then we went to the grain store. The store selling grain in town happened to be on the street where Fang's shop was smashed last time.

When I passed Fang's shop, I found that the door was closed.

He glanced at it and said nothing.

When we arrived at the grain store, there was only one person in the store. When he saw that they were all wearing patched clothes, he did not come over to greet them. Instead, he stood on the side of the cabinet, glanced at them with his eyelids raised, and then lowered his head. , pulling the abacus.

Seeing this look, Lu Jianchuan tightened his lips and frowned again.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The shopkeeper obviously saw that they were poor people at first glance. He looked down on these poor people, which made Lu Jianchuan feel a little uncomfortable.

He studied so hard at the beginning because he wanted to escape the fate of poverty. Studying was the only way out for poor families.

But now, since the accident, my legs have become lame when walking, and I can no longer take part in the imperial examination. The family's conditions were considered decent at first, but in order to treat his leg, his parents spent most of their life savings, but they couldn't cure it.

Later, in order to find him a wife, he spent all his family's last savings.

It has been a long time since my family bought cloth or made new clothes. Lu Jianchuan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about his experiences in the past two years, and there was a little sadness in his eyes.

Just in time, Gu Yunxi, who was standing next to him, noticed it, patted his shoulder, and said softly: "Look at me!"

"Seller, what's the matter with you? Didn't you see the customer when he came? Is this how your grain store does business?" Gu Yunxi stepped forward and said to the man standing inside.

The shopkeeper stopped holding the abacus, raised his head and glanced at Gu Yunxi, looking at her patched clothes, which looked like mud on her legs. The man was a little angry and said: "What kind of food should I buy? Can you afford it? What I have here are all fine rice noodles. You can't afford it even if you look like this!"

"I didn't know that you can't afford fine rice noodles even though you are wearing patchwork clothes? No wonder you didn't see so many of us coming in just now. It turns out you are just looking down on others!" Gu Yunxi was offended and didn't want to bear with him. He immediately shouted back.

If in modern times, customers are God, no matter how you experience something like this, if you encounter this kind of waiter's attitude, your store's sign will be ruined.

"You stinky bitch, how dare you call me a dog!" The store owner was furious.

Gu Yunxi replied: "I didn't say it, it was you who made the decision! You have to admit that you are a dog! Then I can't stop you!"

The store owner was completely angered and wanted to rush out and beat Gu Yunxi.

Fortunately, Lu Jianchuan reacted immediately, grabbed his hand and pushed him, so that he didn't succeed.

This store owner is a whole head shorter than Lu Jianchuan. You know, Lu Jianchuan's figure looks like he is 1.8 meters tall.

The store owner didn't give up and wanted to rush forward. Lu Jianchuan's cold eyes swept over him, and he was actually like a bull, trying to rush forward and beat him.

Gu Yunxi hid behind Lu Jianchuan and said, "My man is a scholar. If you dare to give it a try, we will report it to the official now and let the official administer justice."

When the shopkeeper heard the words "Xiucai" and "Reporter", his arrogance finally subsided and he did not dare to step forward.

In the end, instead of buying food here, a few people went to the food store opposite and bought a whole big bag of rice, twenty kilograms of flour, and some scattered household items.

Because he bought too many things, He asked Lu Jianchuan to hire an ox cart and spent ten cents to move everything to the ox cart.

When the bullock cart arrived, the shopkeeper of the shop he went to first was standing at the door. He saw his rival in the opposite shop with an enthusiastic look on his face, asking the shop assistants to help him move things to the bullock cart. There were so many things. Things, you can get a lot of money!

The owner of the store I went to first had his face distorted. I don’t know whether it was because he looked down on others, or because of the warm smile of the store opposite.

Gu Yunxi and the others laughed happily when they saw his appearance.

Lu Jianchuan also laughed from the bottom of his heart for the first time since his leg became lame.

On the way back, everyone sat on the bullock cart, Lu Jianchuan next to Gu Yunxi. The cart was bumpy, and the two of them were still a little apart from each other. After a few bumps, the two of them gradually got very close to each other.

Lu Jianchuan noticed it, but he didn't move.

At this time, Gu Yunxi didn't notice at all. Her heart and eyes were full of food. Thinking of finally having a good meal when she got home, she felt as excited as a wild horse running wild.

Gu Yunxi felt that he was so worthless. He had only been in this era for a few days, but he was so excited just because of a few bites of food!

As the oxcart passed the big banyan tree in the center of the village, he heard Sister-in-law Lian and a few women discussing something. He was curious and asked.

It turned out that what a few people were talking about was about Mrs. Li’s family, saying that the Li family had not been seen out in recent days. I heard that something happened to her eldest son-in-law's family in the town, and all the shops were closed.

Some villagers saw this morning that the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Fangrou, came back with her child in her arms, but after a while, she left again with red eyes.

Gu Yunxi just listened to these. She was more concerned about what to eat tonight than these gossips.

After arriving home, Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing went to the fields to pick vegetables, Lu Jianchuan made a fire, and He said he would make dumplings tonight.

This made Lu Jianan very excited. Hearing his mother say this, he was so happy that when he went out to play with his friends, he showed off that he would have dumplings to eat tonight.

In this era, dumplings are a rare commodity, and ordinary people would only be willing to make a meal of dumplings during the New Year and festivals.

This made the friends envious, so they all went home crying and clamoring for dumplings.

After the publicity of these little dolls, everyone in Xijiang Village knew that the Lu family was eating dumplings tonight.
