The whole village is suffering from tuberculosis, but I have 10,000 acres of top-quality medicinal f

Fifty cents? ! It’s almost the price of two tubes of roasted pears!

The siblings' eyes widened in unison, even Duan Qingqiu was shocked.

She glanced at her younger brother who couldn't hide his excitement and eagerness to try, thought for a moment, and said: "Since it's not far away, fifty cents is not necessary. A tube of pears is twenty-three cents, plus five cents for running errands. It's a total of Twenty-eight coins, pay first and then send it away, no kid can be deceived."

The driver was stunned, thinking there was something wrong with his ears.

Are there such stupid people in the world? You don’t need fifty coins, but only five coins? !

At this time, two knocks came from the inner compartment, and the coachman suddenly came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Okay, please, miss, please, little brother."

Duan Qingqiu finished packing with mulberry paper and fine hemp rope and sent it to his younger brother. He warned: "Don't run too fast, be careful of spills. Also..." He lowered his voice and added, "If you find something wrong, just shout. Just run away."

Maybe it's because modern society is too complicated. Even if she doesn't feel the other person's malice, she still maintains the necessary vigilance.

After asking for the route, Xiaodong disappeared at the intersection in the blink of an eye like a loach.

The driver smiled, nodded, and drove away.

After turning into an alley, a deep male voice came from inside the car.

"This stall owner is a bit interesting."

In recent years, I have not seen many such well-behaved businessmen, especially this kind of... woman who is very short of money at first sight.

The coachman was worried about another thing: "Master, tell me, will the tube of roasted pears be returned or thrown out on the spot?"

After a period of silence, the man seemed to sigh and said, "Afu, please shut your crow mouth."

Coachman: "..."

"Hold it and walk slowly."

Duan Qingqiu saw off an old guest and was about to take a drink of water when the sound of whirring came from far away and became closer.

"Sister! Sister! I'm back——!"

The people gathered around talked and laughed: "He's Miss Duan's brother. Come on, kid, come here to hide from the wind. Look at his face, it's as red as a fruit!"

"Hey, this little brother is out of breath. Where did he go?"

She pulled her brother over, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, handed him the water bag, and then replied with a smile: "I'm sending roasted pears. There was a family who just couldn't go back, so they asked us to help. "

"Eh? Can you give it away?" Someone immediately became excited.

"Yeah, but of course you have to pay for the errands. After all, it's not easy to go back and forth in this winter, and it's too far to deliver." She added unhurriedly.

As soon as these words came out, many people stopped thinking.

But there were also people who asked with great interest: "For example, how much can I give away over there in Sunmiao Lane?"

After roughly understanding the distance, Duan Qingqiu reported the number.

"Is this the same price for two bottles?"

"Correct."

The man gave a high-five and said happily: "Great, let me book it for ten days first. From now on, as long as you go out to sell the stall, you will send two tubes to my house every day. If there are special circumstances, I will tell you again! "

Duan Qingqiu collected the money and wrote down the other party's address and needs.

This person brought today's weight and happily squeezed out of the crowd. As he walked, he said to himself: "It's just a few extra bucks. If I had known that I could give it away, I wouldn't have to run out to buy it in the cold wind." , Hey, now my wife has no reason to call me lazy!"

Around midnight, the stove was completely empty.

Duan Qingqiu said hello to those who didn't buy anything as usual, and then started to pack things.

Seeing that his younger brother had been standing nearby, looking around, trying to help but not knowing where to start, he couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly something occurred to him, he paused, counted five copper coins from the money bag, and waved: "Here, this is your."

"Huh?" Xiaodong was stunned, looking confused.

He has never received so much money in his life. He still remembers that when he was a child, his mother-in-law would rarely find a penny and let him go to the village entrance to buy sweets. This was already the most luxurious thing.

But what is currently being held in the palm of my hand is a full five cents!

"mine?"

"That's right, yours." Duan Qingqiu patted his brother's hand and motioned for him to put it away, "I used to treat you and Xiaoxia as children. After this period of time, I finally understood that you are already half-grown. As a human being, if that’s the case, you can’t work for nothing.”

"If nothing happens in the future, I will leave all the delivery and errands to you, and I will also record it here. The more you do, the better, the higher the commission, and you will be paid monthly. Today, I will give you these five This article is to encourage you, and it will be deducted from your salary for that month..."

"B-but..." Xiaodong couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister, we are a family, I just want to help you..."

"There is no conflict." She smiled, "I will also pay monthly wages to Xiaoxia, but you are not my associates. These meager coins are just to affirm your ability, understand?"

"Able... ability?" The boy murmured, and the joy on his face gradually expanded, "Can I buy whatever I want?"

"of course."

"Then...sister, wait a minute, I'll be back right away!"

On the way back, Xiaodong kept protecting his bulging skirt. Duan Qingqiu asked him what good things he bought, but the boy kept smiling shyly and refused to answer.

Later, she stopped asking, thinking that they were just some gadgets. She was reluctant to buy them before, but now she finally had pocket money and bought them as treasures.

Unexpectedly, after returning home, the boy ran straight to Xiao Xia, took out a long stick-like object from his arms, unwrapped the oil paper, and turned out to be a candied haws.

It's not the most ordinary kind, but it's sprinkled with crushed peanuts and walnuts. It's just been covered for a long time, and the caramel has melted slightly, making it look a bit unsightly.

Xiaodong frowned, looking very annoyed. After struggling for a while, she met Xiaoxia's puzzled eyes and immediately laughed again. She handed over the candied haws and said happily: "Second sister, I got my salary today. This I bought it for you!"

"Give...give it to me?"

"Do you still remember the year when you celebrated your birthday? My mother-in-law bought you a candied haws for the first time. At that time, I was ignorant and insisted on eating it. As a result, I dropped the candied haws on the ground. You didn't get a bite that day, and later you hid. Crying secretly under the quilt...Second sister, I'm sorry, I have always remembered this, but then my mother and father left, I, I really can't help it...I can finally make up for you today, I let the old man do it All the ingredients that can be added are added, it will definitely taste very delicious!”

At this moment, Xiaoxia was choked with sobs, biting her lips and crying silently.

The boy's eyes were also red, and he asked in a low voice: "Second sister, can you... forgive me?"

"Silly brother! I have never blamed you!"

The young lady and brother hugged each other and burst into tears, as if they wanted to cry out all the pain they had suffered for so many years.
