Jiang Yan didn't know how to tell the time by looking at the sky. She could only guess that after sitting for almost half an hour, that is, nearly an hour, the ox cart drove slowly onto a road paved with blue bricks. This was the official road.

The road to the official road was finally not so bumpy. After about half an hour, the ox cart finally stopped in Yong'an Town.

Jiang Yan jumped out of the car and led her son to the street. She came to town every once in a while, so Jiang Yan knew exactly where and what things were sold.

At this time, the street is busy. Various small stalls have been set up on the street, most of which sell food. Various aromas waft into the nose.

Jiang Yan carefully looked at the food stalls on the street, wondering what kind of food stalls she could make in the future, and lamented the liveliness of Yong'an Town, as the people coming and going seemed not to be affected by the drought.

She was thinking about the copper in her arms and figuring out what to buy. She probably couldn't afford fabrics now. Although the clothes on her family were full of patches, they were still wearable, but the rice at home was gone, and the oil and salt were also needed.

Buy some.

"Mom, what are we doing in town?"

"At this time, there is not much work to do in the town."

The two sons watched their mother wandering back and forth at the food stall. They really didn't understand what her mother was going to do. Instead, they just wandered around like this. The gluttonous food in their stomachs was enticed by the scent of the vendors.

They had always followed the villagers to work for wealthy families in the town before, but this was their first time walking on the street.

"There is no salt at home, so we can't borrow it from others every day, right?"

Jiang Yan took out 6 Wen from her pocket and handed it to Lin Nan, "You take the third child to buy 6 Wen of salt, and I'll go to the grain store to buy some rice."

Lin Nan carefully took the copper plate and was a little surprised: "Mom, do we still have money?"

If you have money, why would you ask the village chief to borrow money?

"Mom only has a few copper coins left with her. If all of them are given to the Liu family, our family will have nothing to eat. Is it possible that you will take your new wife to drink the northwest wind!" Jiang Yan said with a deliberately straight face.

She came to town this time just to check out the market and see what kind of small business she could do. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain it to the Lin family just by selling things in the mall to make money.

When the two sons saw that their mother was about to lose her temper, they immediately stopped talking and went to buy salt with the 6 copper coins given by their mother.

Jiang Yanzhi took away her two sons, and then went to the grain store to buy rice. Several large vats of rice were placed in front of the store, with wooden boards stuck on them. The price of the rice was written clearly in red paint.

Polished rice is 18 Wen per catty, ordinary rice is 13 Wen per catty, brown rice is 8 Wen per catty, white flour is 8 Wen per catty, and corn and buckwheat are 5 Wen per catty.

Jiang Yan frowned, the price of rice had increased too much. In the original memory, brown rice was usually 5 cents per pound, but not long ago, it actually increased so much.

Jiang Yan gave up her plan to buy rice at the grain store. She quickly walked to a deserted place and bought thirty kilograms of brown rice and five kilograms of white flour from the plane mall. The prices in the mall were much cheaper than those in the grain store, totaling 73 Wen.

The mall also gave me a discount, which works out to 70 Wen. If you go to a grain store, you can’t even buy ten pounds of brown rice!

Jiang Yan paid the money in pain and sighed. She only had 24 copper coins left. She was really poor!

She was carrying a heavy rice bag and was out of breath after walking a few steps. Lin Nan and Lin Xi had to carry both baskets. If she had known she would have carried one.

These few kilograms were a bit difficult for Jiang Yan, so she had to wait there for a while. Lin Nan and Lin Xi came back soon.

Lin Nan took out a piece of salt in his hand: "Mom, I bought the salt."

Looking at the small piece of salt in Lin Nan's hand, it was almost enough for them to eat for a week. Fortunately, the price of salt has not increased. I will go to the mall to buy some. The salt in the mall is cheap, and one copper plate can buy a large pack.

Jiang Yan put the heavy rice bag in Lin Xi's basket. Lin Xi smiled happily. He liked the feeling of having a lot of food at home!

The three of them were walking on the street. Jiang Yan originally wanted to buy some sugar, but she went over and asked about the price. It was really expensive, so she might as well try it next time.

I had to pick and choose in the grocery store and bought a few items that were not expensive but could be used at home.

When passing by a stall selling steamed buns, they smelled the aroma of steamed buns coming from the stall, and Lin Nan and Lin Bei couldn't help but look over.

Jiang Yan paused, and the three of them stopped in front of the bun shop.

The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop saw a customer and quickly greeted her: "Auntie, would you like to buy steamed buns? There are two vegetarian ones and three meat buns. They are all thin-skinned and full of fillings. You will still want to eat them after you eat them!"

Jiang Yan's face twitched a few times. It was really hard for her to get used to being called aunt! She touched a few coins in her arms. She just spent 7 pennies at the grocery store. She had to leave three pennies to ride on the bullock cart. She only had 14 cents.

Written.

Looking at her two eager sons, Jiang Yan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing shopping. She nodded to the proprietress and said, "Here are three vegetable buns and two meat buns!"

The price of steamed buns has increased. In the past, vegetable buns cost one penny and meat buns cost two cents. Jiang Yan had to buy three vegetable buns for the three of them to eat, and the remaining two meat buns were taken home for the two youngest children at home.

"Okay, Auntie, take it and go slowly!" The proprietress quickly packed the buns in oil paper, handed them to Jiang Yan, and took the copper coins from Jiang Yan's hand.

Jiang Yan took the steaming buns and handed two to Lin Nan and Lin Xi, "The three of us will eat the vegetable buns, and the remaining two meat buns will be given to Xiaodouzi and Xiaowu."

"I know, Mom." Lin Xi took the bun and took a bite carefully. This was his first time eating buns! Mom bought them for him!

Lin Nan was different. His eyes were red, and he held the buns for a long time without eating. Finally, he wrapped them carefully and put them in his arms. This was the first time that his mother bought him something, so he had to put it away properly until he and his little one would meet him in the evening.

Dream together!

Jiang Yan ignored them, finished the buns in several bites, quickened her pace, and prepared to go to the town gate to find Uncle Gui.

The three of them were about to take the bullock cart when a young child suddenly appeared on the street. He ran in a panic and bumped into Lin Nan!

Lin Nan stumbled and fell to the ground, his backpack was crushed, the vegetable buns in his arms rolled out, and were crushed to pieces by the fallen child!

Lin Nan, who got up from the ground with a hoarse grin, didn't care, pushed the hairy child away, looked at the bun that was crushed into mud, his eyes turned red, and tears fell down!

"This is my first time eating steamed buns! My mother bought them for me... my steamed buns... wu wu wu..." Lin Nan cried heartbreakingly, as if he had lost more than just a vegetable bun.

…

Jiang Yan watched this scene, and the veins on her forehead jumped. In her original memory, Lin Nan had been a good child since she was a child. Although she was a little stubborn, she would not cry. She remembered that Lin Nan was bitten by a snake and beaten by a man from a wealthy family.
