I don’t know if it’s because it’s open, or because Lu Shege’s way of selling is so different.

After shopkeeper Li left, someone else came up to ask the price to buy rice dumpling leaves.

When Lu Xiaoli came back with the rice dumpling leaves, there were only two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves left in the basket in front of Lu Xiange.

Lu Xiaoli stared at the basket on the ground: "All sold out?"

"No."

Lu Sheige pointed to the basket in front of him, "There are two handfuls left."

What do you call leftovers when there are two left?

Lu Xiaoli glanced at Lu Sheige's arms holding the money bag. He wanted to ask something, but he couldn't ask, so he could only squat down next to Lu Xiaoqing and asked in a low voice: "Sister, how much money did you sell for?"

Lu Xiaoqing had not yet recovered from the turmoil just now. She looked at Lu Xiaoli blankly: "Ah, I don't know!"

Seeing the stupid look on the elder sister's face, Lu Xiaoli felt itchy with hatred.

Lu Xiaoyu, who was still the youngest, spoke: "A lot of money."

"How much does a lot of money cost?" Lu Xiaoli continued to ask, but he was calculating quickly in his mind.

Shopkeeper Li bought 20 coins and left half of it, so he could probably sell it for around 20 coins at least.

Lu Xiaoyu shook his head obediently: "I don't know."

She saw the waiter collecting the money and the eldest sister passing the rice dumpling leaves, and soon the rice dumpling leaves in the basket were sold out.

The garlands on the heads of the elder sister and the younger four were all taken away by people buying rice dumpling leaves.

It was only hers. Someone wanted it at the time, but Xiaosi didn't agree. The woman was so angry that she didn't even buy the rice dumpling leaves, and only two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves were left.

Otherwise, they will all be sold out.

Hearing Xiaoyu say that because someone asked for a garland, Lu Xiangge didn't even sell two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves. Lu Xiaoli was so angry that he filed his teeth.

There are wicker sticks and wild flowers everywhere, just give them away, at worst, you will have to weave another one for Xiaoyu later.

It's fine now, there are only two left.

That’s a penny, a penny!

A penny can buy many things, but they are no more useful than these wild flowers and weeds that should not be eaten or drunk.

"It's all you," Lu Xiaoli angrily got angry at Xiaoyu, "Just give away a broken wreath. You must be reluctant to part with it..."

"Second sister..." Xiaoyu blinked his big eyes in grievance, tears of grievance welling up in his eyes.

At that time, the aunt regretted not buying the reed leaves, but Xiaosi made this wreath for her. It was so beautiful, so she was just a little reluctant but didn't say she wouldn't give it to her!

"Xiaoyu likes it, so of course I won't give it away."

Lu Sheige glanced at the wreath above Lu Xiaoyu's head indifferently. The sun was rising, and the flowers were a little wilted, and they were not as beautiful as they were at the beginning.

But Xiaoyu has been touching it again and again with his little hands since he put it on his head, and he can't even take it off for fear of falling apart.

It can be seen that she really likes it.

"Why would you give something you like to others?" Lu Sheige asked Lu Xiaoli.

Lu Xiaoli became anxious upon hearing this and retorted: "If you give it to her, won't she just buy our rice dumpling leaves?"

"Second sister," Lu Sheige's face darkened, "If she doesn't buy rice dumpling leaves, others will buy them. Even if no one buys them, it's okay to throw them away. But this garland is what Xiaoyu likes..."

"But rice dumpling leaves can be sold for a penny, and garlands are not worth a penny."

Lu Xiaoli was still unconvinced. She felt that she was not wrong. Of course, being able to sell for an extra penny was more important than liking her.

"Then ask Xiaoyu if she wants a penny or a garland."

After Lu Xiangge finished speaking, he did not look at Lu Xiaoli, but turned to the bewildered Lu Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, tell me."

"I……"

Lu Xiaoyu was a little confused for a moment. Does she want a penny, or does she want to keep this wreath?

Seeing that the eyes of the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister were all on her, she became more and more panicked and asked with a cry: "Did I do something wrong?"

Of course a penny is very important, but when Xiaosi asked her which one she wanted more, she was confused.

"You did nothing wrong. What's wrong with leaving something you like?" Lu Xiangge raised his hand and flicked Lu Xiaoyu's wreath, and his tone became gentler, "No matter how much money you have, it's not as important as what you like."

Lu Xiaoli didn't care about Lu Xiaoyu's mood. She raised her hand and pulled Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, just say whether you like garlands or a penny."

"I...I like garlands." Lu Xiaoyu firmly avoided Lu Xiaoli's pull and stood next to Lu Sheige.

Xiaosi protects her like this, so of course she has to stand with Xiaosi.

"you……"

Lu Xiaoli wanted to talk more, but when he saw that the aunt who was holding his granddaughter just now came back, he could only give Xiaoyu a fierce look. She was really ignorant.

That’s a penny, a penny!

The aunt walked in, looked down at the empty basket, and asked in surprise: "Have you sold out all the rice dumpling leaves?"

After just a moment of effort, it was all gone.

"And, and more." Lu Xiaoli hurriedly grabbed the remaining two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves in the basket: "There are two handfuls left, and they are both good. Madam, do you want them?"

The aunt frowned: "Two handfuls are not enough."

Lu Xiaoli felt regretful and annoyed when his aunt found it too little. He should have picked more.

In the morning, the eldest sister asked me to pick more, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sell it and refused to pick it. Now it's not enough. Two handfuls cost one penny, and ten more handfuls cost five cents.

Lu Xiaoli felt really uncomfortable this time and wanted to slap himself twice.

"Mom, how much do you want? I'll pick it up and bring it to you later." Lu Xiangge looked up at the sun, "If you're in a hurry, I'll deliver it to your house before lunch so you can make rice dumplings in the afternoon."

The child, who is eight or nine years old, speaks like an adult, talking to you every time, which makes the aunt feel much more comfortable.

"It has to be as good as the one you sold this morning. If it's not good, I don't want it."

But she saw that the rice dumpling leaves sold by these children were big, good and clean. Such good leaves could not be picked nearby.

Lu Shege showed a big smile: "That's for sure. I'll deliver it to your home when the time comes. If it doesn't work, don't want it."

"That's okay."

The aunt is also a refreshing person. After hearing this, she immediately pointed to the alley not far ahead.

"My house is right in front. When you get to the alley, you can find it by asking Ding, the pig butcher. My old man's surname is Ding, and the biggest pork stall in the town is mine. You can give me eight... ten handfuls.

"

"That's great." Lu Shege agreed readily.

"The pig-killer."

Lu Xiaoyu spoke in a low voice: "Is it okay to eat meat every day?"

She couldn't even remember when her family had eaten meat. The meat must be delicious.

Seeing the little girl's envious face, the aunt's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she couldn't help but remind her: "You can pick more when the time comes, and I'll help you ask other families if they want it."

In their alley, everyone was doing business, and they had some spare money, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to ask for help when the time came.

Perhaps because she was afraid of saying too much, she added: "I can't guarantee that I'll sell it to you..."

Lu Shege hurriedly smiled and said: "We understand, thank you, Aunt Ding."

Seeing how smart this black boy was, the smile on Aunt Ding's face became much deeper.

She just likes smart kids.

Seeing the aunt leaving, and not selling the remaining two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves, Lu Shege took the initiative and gave them to the aunt selling vegetables next to him.

It made Lu Xiaoli feel heartbroken. That was only a penny.

However, thinking that Aunt Ding had ordered ten for five cents, she held back.

Xiaosi said that she must listen to him, otherwise she won’t make money with her next time.
