Ding Xiaobing was a good and polite boy. Even though the other party looked like a rural woman, he still asked politely, "Auntie, Mao Dan Gou Dan is a nickname, I've never heard of anyone with that name."

When the rural woman heard this, she was very worried, "Dayong's father told me his address, but I forgot it. I only remembered the name of the child."

If you don’t even know about cats and dogs, then you don’t even know about the father of cats and dogs. "

A young woman wearing a green headscarf next to her frowned at her mother-in-law and asked cautiously, "Kid, Mao Dan Gou Dan's names are Chen Weixing and Chen Dazhai, do you have any impression?"

Chen Weixing and Chen Dazhai?

These are all good brothers of Ding Xiaobing, so they must be impressed.

It turns out that the nicknames of these two brothers are Mao Dan and Gou Dan, which are really down-to-earth.

Ding Xiaobing suppressed his laughter and said, "Auntie, it turns out you are looking for Weixing and Dazhai. I know where they are."

In this way, Ding Xiaobing led the two rural women into the Little Man Bookstore.

When grandma saw them, she exclaimed, "Guizhi, Dayong's wife, why are you here?"

It turns out that these two are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. One is the old captain's wife He Guizhi, and the other is Chen Dayong's wife Xiaoxia.

"Dayong's father wrote a letter, saying that Dayong's illness can be cured, but what if he has to stay in the capital and there is no one to take care of him? So we came too."

He Guizhi looked excited. No matter how he said it, he finally found his fellow villagers.

Chen Dayong's wife Xiaoxia looked at the Little Man Bookstore curiously, where is this place?Why are there so many villain books?What are the children doing?

Grandma exchanged a few words with grandpa, then greeted He Guizhi and Xiaoxia with a smile, "Dayong and his father are helping next door. I will take you over."

He Guizhi and Xiaoxia really followed Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, and they followed her closely for fear of getting lost.

As soon as they arrived next door, they saw the old captain and Chen Dayong. Unfortunately, the two of them were working, and their hands were very busy.

The old captain said loudly, "Guizhi, why are you here early? You lead Xiaoxia to sit in the room first. I'll talk to you after I've been busy for a while."

He Guizhi had no choice but to agree.

Ding Xiaobing said politely, "Auntie, I'm leaving then."

He Guizhi didn't expect that the child kept following him, so he hurriedly grabbed a handful of dates from the bag and stuffed it into Ding Xiaobing's pocket, "Thank you, child, otherwise I would have been lost."

Ding Xiaobing thanked him and hurriedly went to find Maodan Goudan. He had to ask the two brothers how they got their names in the first place.Why are their names so interesting?

There was a long queue outside the bicycle repair shop, but there was no one inside. Grandma asked her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sit down, then picked up the big teapot on the iron stove and poured water for them, and asked them how they found it.

Green trains are never very punctual. They are usually late, a few hours late, or even a day or two late.

The train that He Guizhi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took happened to be ahead of schedule, and it was a full four hours ahead of schedule.

After getting off the green train, they were surrounded by a sea of ​​people and arrived at the exit. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were confused. They couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north.

Fortunately, He Guizhi held the note tightly in her hand. The old captain had written to them in advance, and it contained the current address of Yuanni's home.

Relying on this note, a kind-hearted fellow traveler took them to the bus. Unfortunately, the note could not be found as soon as they got off the bus.

So the two of them could only ask blindly, but they didn't expect to find it.

"Thanks to the kind people, otherwise we would still be squatting at the train station." He Guizhi said with emotion.

"You've all arrived at the bus stop. It's almost there. You can definitely find it. You haven't eaten yet? I'll make some hot dumplings for you."

"No, no, why is it so grand? We can just eat some dry food."

"No big deal, we'll have this for lunch too."

Steamed dumplings are stuffed with cabbage, vermicelli and tofu. They can be eaten as soon as they are heated in the pot.

After having a full stomach and admiring the good life at her grandma's house, He Guizhi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked cautiously, "What store is next door? Why are there so many little books? Is there such a thing as this in the city?"

Grandma introduced the situation of Little Man Bookstore, "Nier said that she was afraid that her grandpa would not be able to stay idle, so she found him an easy job."

This is also Yuan Nier's true thoughts. Long before she opened the Little Man Bookstore, she had made an agreement with her grandfather that if the Little Man Bookstore's business was good, she would let her grandfather get up early to collect garbage. tired.

"Nier is such a filial child. By the way, what does this shop do? I think it repairs bicycles. Why are there so many people repairing bicycles?" Xiaoxia stared at the crowd outside the window, very interested. .

Grandma smiled and introduced the shop again, "Did you see the basket on the front of the bicycle? That was made by your family Dayong."

Weaving such a basket only requires a small amount of bamboo pieces and iron wire, and the cost is only a few cents. After adding handwork, it can be sold to the fourth uncle for one yuan and two cents.

Xiaoxia was immediately excited, "It's so easy to make money in the city. I can also weave bamboo baskets. Can I help Dayong weave them together?"

"Yes, Dayong is worried that no one will help him. You two can still make mats next summer. This stuff is easy to sell in the city."

Grandma said, putting away the bowls and chopsticks and preparing to scald them with boiling water. He Guizhi quickly grabbed them and finished the job neatly.

According to grandma, the old captain and Chen Dayong and his son lived well in the city. No wonder the hospitals in the city were so expensive, and the two father and son never said they wanted to go back.

He Guizhi was thinking in her mind that she would have to ask the old man if she could do some work later.

After entertaining He Guizhi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, grandma said she had to go to the Little Man Bookstore to keep an eye on her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were full of curiosity about life in the city. One stayed at the bicycle shop to help, and the other followed her grandma to the Little Man Bookstore.

After a busy day, it wasn't until dark that the two shops closed.

There are still some children who are reluctant to leave.

"The bookstore will open at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Come over early then." Grandpa said with a smile.

"Grandpa, you must keep this book for me and don't lend it to others." The child just saw the key link and was reluctant to put down the book.

"Okay, I won't lend it to anyone else."

I have to say, children’s money is really easy to make.

After finishing the work, grandma warmly invited the old captain and his family, "Come to my house and let my fourth wife cook something good for you."

Just as Xiaoxia was about to agree, she was pulled by Chen Dayong, who rushed to say, "Aunt, no need, it's been a busy day, you should rest early."

The city is different from the countryside. Their family of four has to rely on Yuanni's family for everything, so they can't ignore it.

A new store is opening. I'm tired after a long day's work. How can I come to disturb them at this time?

There were only four members of the family left, and He Guizhi asked the old captain excitedly, "Master, how much does the fourth son of the Chen family earn in a day?"

He Guizhi had been at the bicycle repair shop all day. She could clearly see that the yellow satchel that her fourth uncle collected money from was full.
