Chapter 54
Lin Yanniang took out a shabby purse, poured a handful of copper coins from it, and counted the numbers and paid them to the sentry guards.
Seeing the whistleblower collecting the money, he took out a wax seal and sealed the envelope, and put it in a basket that was not very big.
There were also a few letters in the basket. Although she didn't know where to send them, she thought that it would definitely be delivered separately when the time came.
"Is there anything else?" The whistleblower turned his head and saw her staring at the letter basket in a daze, so he asked kindly.
"No, thank you two uncles." Lin Yanniang came back to her senses and quickly turned around and walked out.
But when I walked outside the station, I couldn't help but look back and stared at the letter basket again, with some random thoughts in my heart.
Just keep these letters?
What if it is lost?
Will you send it out today?
How long will it take to send it to friends in Yunsan Pass?
When she saw the whistle guard looking at her, she immediately turned her eyes away, pretending that she had just swept it accidentally, and did not dare to stop anymore, and walked back in a hurry.
Go back to the place where I separated from my father just now, and then turn to the grain store.
There was a group of people surrounding the grain business, all waiting to buy grain, as well as servants and managers from wealthy families.
Lin Yanniang didn't look at her much, but only found her father's side.
"Have you done it?" Lin Ping'an turned around and glanced at the big girl up and down, and then he smiled with peace of mind.
The big girl has a bad temper. Although she is wearing men's clothes, she still knows that she is a little girl. She just went to send a letter by herself, because she was afraid of conflicts with others on the way.
Now that the person has done the work well, he has almost understood the price of grain.
I immediately walked to the rice warehouse and asked for 100 kilograms of rice.
It’s just a handicap of two bags. The rice bags from the grain store are not something you want. One of them will be given after 100 kilograms of rice, but it will cost two cents extra to divide them into two bags.
Lin Ping'an didn't care about the two cents and just shouted: "One bag of twenty kilograms, one bag of eighty kilograms."
After the guy packed the rice and sealed the bag with a thick needle, Lin Yanniang had already emptied the basket, put the twenty kilograms of rice in it, and then placed the small bag of food and embroidered cloth and thread next to it.
The remaining eighty kilograms will be carried onto Lin Ping'an.
If Lin Ping'an hadn't had one leg lame, how could he need this? Two hundred pounds are a trivial matter.
But now, although it is troublesome to carry 80 kilograms with crutches, it is not a heavy burden.
I bought another twenty kilograms of salt and put it in the backpack, and two cans of sauce each. Lin Yanniang carried the hemp rope tied to the can.
Lin Ping'an had settled the money, but there were only a few left. He handed it over to Lin Yanniang and paid the car later.
The father and daughter went out of the food business and did not stroll on the streets. They planned to go directly to the town entrance to wait for the donkey cart, and then eat steamed buns on the donkey cart.
When they arrived in the town, they went up the mountain, walked for a while and did their own things. At this time, it was almost noon, and it was afternoon when they got home.
When passing by a restaurant, Lin Yanniang subconsciously looked up and saw that the Gaopeng restaurant was the place where the cousin worked.
Just as I was thinking about this, a guy suddenly saw the guest out, and his eyes flashed.
Lin Ping'an and Lin Yanniang had just walked past Gaopeng Restaurant and were more than ten steps away.
The guy has already run over.
"Second Uncle!"
"Learn good?" Lin Ping'an heard the sound a little familiar. When he turned around, he immediately showed a surprised look. He looked at the young man running over and couldn't help but smile.
"Uncle Second, you... are you buying grain, are you going back?" Lin Xueshan greeted with a smile, and glanced at Lin Yanniang again.
"Colonel." Lin Yanniang was carrying something on her back, and she carried a jar in her hands. She didn't salute, but just smiled and said hello.
The young man in front of him is Lin Xueshan, the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son. After Lin Jiang entered the house, he became a man in one fell swoop. Since then, he has been placing on the sister-in-law of the second wife for many years.
Lin Jiang obviously gave birth to a son, and then gave birth to three daughters, and his status was not too shaken and he was never bullied by the old lady.
It was her mother who was the daughter of her husband, and even if she had two sons later, she would never be favored by the old lady.
Sometimes things like fate are hard to say.
Lin Yanniang looked at her cousin and felt complicated for a moment. She didn't say much, so it was even more impossible for her sister to see her brother's enthusiasm.
After all, Lin Jiang's shrew gained power because of this son, while her mother was trampled for giving birth to her.
Stepping on the ground became a habit. Until she grew up, she wanted to kill Lin Jiang with a knife at one time, and this kind of shrew-like oppression was considered to be aborted.
"Uncle Second, please wait for a while. I have something to take for me to home." Lin Xueshan came over and called out to Uncle Second, and immediately said.
They were all poor families and there were not so many polite greetings that were not inconvenient, so Lin Xueshan hurried back to the restaurant.
After a while, he ran out of the side door and held two lotus leaf bags in his hand.
"This elbow was something the customer ordered just now. We stayed as a friend and planned to add food. I just said good things to everyone and asked me to take it home."
"Uncle Second, please help me take it back and be filial to my grandparents. And this... my mother likes to eat pork trotters the most. I only got two. Please help me get it back."
Lin Xueshan explained, and at the warning of Lin Yanniang's calm expression, she put it in the backpack.
"Thank you for your hard work, and... Yan Niang." Lin Xueshan bowed his fists to Lin Ping'an, and then smiled at Lin Yan Niang.
"One elbow, two pig's trotters, my cousin's bag, I'll just take it over like this. If there is anything wrong, my cousin will come back and talk about it. If the eldest uncle is thinking about anything bad, I hope my cousin will explain it clearly to her."
Lin Yanniang looked at Lin Xueshan, but she first said ugly words.
"Yan Niang." Lin Xueshan was stunned, then looked at her with a deep face.
"I know my mother is a bit arrogant, but she is your aunt. Today I asked you to bring something back, and my second uncle is there. What are you going to care about?"
"It's all a family, don't talk so hard." This girl is so fierce that she always makes a fuss with her slutty aunt.
Of course he knew what kind of person his mother was, but as a girl's house, could not give in?
"Haha, my cousin knows what's going on." Lin Yanniang didn't compromise and sneered coldly.
"I'm just afraid that we are kind enough to bring something for my cousin, but we are scolded and questioned. It's not a good feeling to be suspected of stealing a pig from your house halfway."
Lin Xueshan was choked by the words, his face looked a little ugly, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, Niang Yan, don't be upset with your brother. It's not easy for him to work in the town to go home, and don't bother him at home."
Lin Ping'an hurriedly tried to smooth things over and also glanced at Lin Xueshan.
"You go back quickly, don't let the boss talk about you. We'll go to the town entrance to wait for the bus. When we get back to the village, we'll send it to you first."
Lin Xueshan had the intention to deliver food to home because he had made him filial and they just followed suit.
