But the dwarf came to Aoshan Village this day and set up baskets at the intersection in the middle of the village as usual, and started shouting: needles, buttons, floral heads, cooling oil, ten drops of water, rat poison!
People in the countryside are honest. If the owner is not there, they can only take a look at it. They will not take it away privately. If they really need it and have no money, they will only use credit to the dwarves and will not cheat.
When the dwarf shouted back and forth, he returned to the burden, several women had already gathered there to watch the goods.
Two bamboo mats on the basket were turned over, and inside were a box of sewing needles, several stacks of floral cloth heads, and cooling oil (local called Wanjin Oil), ten drops of water, sewing needles were placed in a wooden box, and they were divided into one grid according to different sizes. The cloth heads were big and small, and there were lattices and monochrome. The Wanjin Oil was a small red iron box with a thumb surface as big as a small, and ten drops of water were small plastic bottles.
Rat poison is poison, but it is still placed in the basket if it is not placed
There is no price order, but everyone knows it very well. The price has not increased in many years. The needle is a few cents per piece. The most expensive one is rat poison. But it is only two or three cents. It is best if you have money, you can pay. If you don’t have money, you can also pay on credit. You don’t charge interest. You can also exchange dried chicken gizzards for things.
Broken copper and iron soles and toothpaste skin are what people need
Because it is too heavy and the dwarf is too tired to carry it, so he will not accept it. He would rather let you take credit and when will you pay back when you have money?
When everyone bought things and the crowd dispersed, it was already after lunch. Usually, if you arrived in a village, if someone had a wedding or funeral, people would specially invite him to have a meal. Today, no one in the village did a wedding or funeral, so no one invited him to have a meal.
In this case, dwarves will go to fixed families in each village and pay them to cook for themselves. They also have fixed families in each village.
The dwarf stayed in the village of Aoshan, next to Songgen's house
Unfortunately, this family has been helping their relatives build a house in the past few days and has not been at home.
Seeing that the door was closed and no one was at home, the dwarf lifted his feet and was about to leave. When he passed by Songgen's house, he saw Songgen holding an empty bowl in his hand. He thought Songgen's house was still eating, so he carried a basket and asked if there was any extra food to give him a bowl of food and paid for it after eating.
Song Gen naturally knows the dwarf. He always asks him hello when he sees him. He knows that he is having a meal and staying at the next house.
Actually, he had eaten the pine tree for a long time this day, but he went to the village to see the crops in the fields while eating. After eating, he pulled out the grass for a while, so he came back late.
Listen to the dwarf asking if there was any leftover rice, Song Gen did not answer directly, but answered the question irresponsible: Brother Dwarfs have not eaten yet? As long as you have enough food, you will have to sit in and drink a glass of water first, and I will arrange it for you.
The dwarf was very happy after hearing this and thanked him quickly
Song Gen opened the lid and saw that the rice was still there, but it was not enough. At most, the burnt ones were only half a bowl of rice. Besides, they said they were paying money. Whether they were charged or not in the end, it was obviously not good to give them a burnt rice.
Now that people have come in, there is only one who can make a fire and eat it.
At this time, Shuye and Qiulan had eaten and went to work in the field. Songgen had no choice but to do it himself
The soil stove in rural areas is not like the current induction stoves and gas stoves. It takes half a day to heat the torch pot.
The pine root was not easy to neglect the dwarf, so he had to let the dwarf beside the stove and wait for an opportunity to talk.
It turns out that although the dwarf is short, he has a family. His parents are tall and old, and he is still alive. The dwarf has grown up since childhood due to a serious illness without timely treatment. However, other brothers and sisters are very normal.
Although the dwarf's wife is inconvenient to walk, their son is not affected by their husband and wife at all. In other words, the dwarf's shortness is acquired, not congenital genetic inheritance.
While talking, a bowl of gnocchi was prepared with a bowl of pine roots, a large bowl of males were full of green ones, the leeks he grew, the white ones were gnocchi, and the golden ones were fried eggs.
It was too full and the soup could not be served. Pine root was afraid that the dwarf would eat too dry and then served a bowl of noodle soup alone.
I also went to my room and made two spoons of rice wine from the wine jar.
In fact, Songgen's family rarely has guests throughout the year, and it is not very good to treat guests. But he thinks that since he is a guest, he should try to make the guests have fun and not just eat as much as his family members.
But the dwarf felt flattered while eating dough and drinking rice wine.
If you don’t tell me how to cook and give you another money, they cook some things in a normal way. They think it’s good to eat enough when they go out. There is no need to eat so much. Maybe you want to let the cook for you to eat, but you know you will give it money. Some people can’t cook it without any dry goods.
So the dwarf also felt that in addition to giving money, he also had to thank them for it.
Messenger, you are a good person. I’m so grateful for cooking such delicious food! The dwarf’s words are sincere
Haha, brother, you are a person who has seen the world and has never eaten anything. You want to thank me so much for just a bowl of gnocchi?
Song Gen didn't expect that a bowl of gnocchi would be said to be a sumptuous thing, and he thought the dwarf was talking nonsense.
The fellow villager, whether it is rich or not depends on what age or what family belongs to. The Dwarf says
Oh, how did you say this? Songgen has never heard of this before
When the dwarf heard this, he sipped the rice wine and continued: Some families are rich, and they give me a bowl of rice for feeding pigs. I think they look down on me. If it is a poor family, they will give me half of the bowl of sweet potato rice, and I will also give me a bowl of money. As for the bowl of dough dumplings just now, it was because I didn't specifically ask you to cook delicious food, but you naturally cooked it out. So you are a good person. Good people will definitely be rewarded and blessed.
Hehe, brother, you are a person who travels around the world after all. You can tell that a bowl of dough is good and bad. Song Gen felt a little embarrassed to be said
Really, fellow villager, good people will be rewarded! The dwarf once again thanked him sincerely
Alas! Listening to the dwarf's good rewards over and over again, Song Gen suddenly remembered the experience of his leaves and couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, I have never expected this good reward but bad reward. There is one thing now. If there is a way, it will be considered as the Bodhisattva's blessing.
As soon as he spoke, Songgen talked about his troubles. He never thought that the dwarf was a completely irrelevant outsider.
…………
After hearing Song Gen's words, the dwarf said thoughtfully: Maybe the problem is really the foot of being trampled by a cow. What you said is that the tendon of the life root was broken, so he felt pain and no bleeding at that time.
Who knew it would be so serious at that time? But it's too late to know now. How can I connect the thing if it breaks? It's not that Songgen doesn't understand, but how many people know in the corner of the mountain in their lifetime
Did the fellow villager think of any way to make up for it now?
The dwarf naturally knew that it was impossible to connect to it.
(If it were now, it shouldn't be a major operation, but I haven't even heard of surgery in that era)
Now? Now that I know that the problem lies with my son and cannot be compensated, I want my daughter-in-law to secretly get along with other men. As long as I can get pregnant, others will not point fingers behind my back. This will reduce the number of discussions about my daughter-in-law.
(In fact, if it is the current technology, even if the surgery cannot be treated, internal fertilization will be a trivial matter) But in that era, even the dwarf who had seen the world was shocked and opened his mouth wide. For nothing else, the dwarf was surprised that Song Gen actually endured asking his daughter-in-law to find another man. You must know that even if he is pregnant, he is not his real child or grandchild. To put it bluntly, he is a wild breed. This is quite uncomfortable for his grandson in the countryside.
However, Songgen took the initiative to find a way to ask his daughter-in-law to find another man, in order to get pregnant with a child to block others' mouths. No longer said that Qiulan is a hen that does not lay eggs. It can be seen that people's words are terrifying, but people's words are terrifying.
Even his grandson was a wild breeder and he even encouraged his daughter-in-law to find another man. It can be seen that Song Gen has undergone a fierce ideological struggle and is definitely not a joke. He also believes that this is the most desirable method at present.
Then, Songgen didn't want to look for him in his village, for fear of being embarrassed when he met often in the future, and for fear that his daughter-in-law would have a real relationship with the man. He wanted to find a man from another village, so he would not contact him after the incident, at least it would not affect both families.
I'll tell you all the ideas to the dwarves one by one
After hearing this, the dwarf felt that Song Gen thought very carefully
But he couldn't come up with any idea. You should know who else you suggested to look for?
But no matter which one it is, people are actually reluctant
When Songgen saw that the dwarf was listening and didn't say anything, he had to ask himself: Guest, who do you think is suitable for?
The dwarf was thinking about how to comfort him, but he didn't listen carefully: I, I... The dwarf wanted to tell Songgen what the problem was that he didn't hear clearly.
But Songgen was stunned when he heard this and thought, no, he doesn't look young anymore, but fortunately this?
Guest, are you sure you can?
The dwarf then understood what the problem was from the other person's eyes and tone, but no matter how many men are, they have dignity. Although he also wanted to explain that he did not mean this, he was even less willing to be considered as not good at that.
Why can't I do it? Brother, is it because I look very old? The dwarf said, Yes, I am not young anymore, but I have four sons myself, and the youngest is only three years old. Do you think I am okay?
What the dwarf said was true. Although he was short, he was stronger than ordinary people in that aspect. However, at this time he was not speaking to show off, but wanted to tell Songgen that although he was a little older, he was still normal in that aspect.
However, Songgen was uneasy after hearing this. No matter how young this dwarf is, he will not be younger than him. He is so outstanding in that aspect?
As the saying goes, God closes a window and will definitely open another door for you. This has never been heard of by Songgen. However, there is another saying in the countryside that a blind man cannot see things, but he can cultivate extraordinary hearing.
Could it be that the dwarf is born short, and God has compensated him with that aspect?
It seems to be true to what he said
But Qiulan has to agree with this himself. Songgen said
To be honest, Song Gen was really a little moved, for three reasons. One is that the dwarf himself said that he was very good at that aspect, and the probability of being a son is very high; the second is that the dwarf is a foreigner, so there will be much less chance of leaking the news from now on; the final thing is that the dwarf himself looks like he absolutely has no possibility of two people making fakes to be true.
No, no, fellow villager, it's better to think clearly! The dwarf suddenly found that Song Gen was safe and misunderstood his meaning
Guest, I think clearly is just a reference, and the main thing is that my daughter-in-law nodded. Song Gen didn't listen to the dwarf at all, so he still wanted to follow his own ideas as usual.
People in the countryside are honest. If the owner is not there, they can only take a look at it. They will not take it away privately. If they really need it and have no money, they will only use credit to the dwarves and will not cheat.
