"Brother, look, this is originally 15 wen per jin, but they want to sell it to us for 35 wen per jin. Why do you think this is?"
Su Ningan glanced at the people in the vegetable market and said, "Second brother, we should wear clothes that are half-worn and half-new."
Su Ningjie remembered what Xiao Lingyu said, that chili peppers are rare ingredients and are only sold to people who know the value of them.
On the other hand, if he is the buyer and he thinks pork is worth 35 cents per pound, he will buy it. If he thinks it is not worth it, he will not buy it.
"Brother, no matter what we wear, we may be cheated, as long as we think it is worth the price."
Su Ning'an nodded. "Second brother, you're right. Since we don't appreciate this thirty-five cents per pound of raw pork, then we won't buy it. We have enough wild boar meat left at home for tonight anyway. Let's go buy some beef and fruit."
"good."
A quarter of an hour later.
Fifteen pounds of beef, twelve pounds of apples, and sixteen pounds of oranges were placed in front of Xiao Lingyu.
"Mother, beef cost 40 wen a pound, apples cost 10 wen a pound, and oranges cost 5 wen a pound. I spent 800 wen in total, which is just enough to leave me with no money left."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Ningjie and found that he really didn't have any money left.
Great, he's a walking computer.
"Why didn't you buy raw pork?"
The two brothers looked at each other, and Su Ningjie said, "Mom, we felt that 35 wen per pound of raw pork was too fat and too lean, so we didn't buy it."
"Oh, well then, Mom will make you tomato beef brisket and candied apples tonight. We'll go back now."
When passing by a pastry shop, Xiao Lingyu thought that the children would have a hard time studying now, so he spent 100 coins to buy five big bags of walnut cakes.
Looking at the walnut cake in his hand, Xiao Lingyu thought of the sensible and pitiful third brother.
"Boss, hurry up, we have to be home at 5:00 PM."
"Okay, mother."
Seeing that it was already 3 p.m. and Su Ningwen had not come to find him, Zhang Dazhu went directly to the Su family's yard.
Zhang Dazhu saw from afar that Su Ningwen was holding a small bamboo tube in his hand and applying fertilizer to other people's vegetable fields with his butt sticking out.
"Third brother, why don't you ask Uncle Dazhu to come and help?"
Su Ningwen shook the empty bamboo tube in his hand, then closed the lid and pulled Zhang Dazhu into the yard.
He wanted to tell him that he and his son had just woken up, but he couldn't say it, so he had to pull him back to the Su family yard.
A moment later, Su Xingyi was pushed out of the yard.
Zhang Dazhu took a close look at Su Xingyi's eye mask and smelled the faint scent of herbs. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
"Okay, I'm going back now. Madam Su didn't make it back before dinner, so I'll bring another dinner over."
Su Xingyi quickly said, "Brother Dazhu, that's not necessary. We usually don't eat dinner."
Su Ningwen nodded repeatedly in agreement and decided not to eat at Zhang's house.
If you want to eat, eat the food cooked by your mother.
Zhang Dazhu asked doubtfully, "Is this true?"
"Of course this is true, Brother Dazhu, you should go back and get busy."
Seeing this, Zhang Dazhu said no more and left the Su family yard.
Su Ningwen sat at the gate and looked at the village entrance.
Not long after, Su Xingyi noticed that Su Ningwen had rushed out of the yard, and he hurriedly straightened his eye mask, which was originally not crooked.
“Cold… air… ah…”
When Su Ningwen saw the carriage in the distance, he opened his mouth excitedly and tried hard to call out "Mom", using a lot of strength.
My throat feels like it's being pulled by something and it hurts when I exert force.
He heard his voice. It turned out that what his mother said was true. If he took care of his voice, he would be able to speak again.
When Xiao Lingyu saw Su Laosan running towards her, touching his neck, she quickly got off the carriage, ran over, squatted down and hugged her third son, who was so sensible that it made her feel distressed.
"Third brother, Mommy bought you some books, lots of paper and pens, and some walnut cakes. Tonight, Mommy will make you some tomato beef brisket and some sweet caramelized apples. Okay?"
As soon as the words fell.
A gurgling sound came from Su Ningwen's stomach.
Xiao Xier hurriedly took out a piece of walnut cake from the carriage and said, "Third brother, you can eat something first. You can have the meal made by mother in the evening."
Xiao Xier knew without guessing that the Zhang family's food was not as delicious as her mother's. It was impossible for the Zhang family not to send food. The only possibility was that the third brother didn't eat much.
Humph, she knows her third brother best.
Su Ningwen happily picked up the walnut biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing a few bites, he pulled Xiao Lingyu to run towards the Su family yard.
Xiao Lingyu and her son left early in the morning, and the villagers did not notice any changes in the Su family's children.
At this time, the villagers saw that the four brothers and sisters of the Su family were all wearing nice clothes. Not only did they look whiter, but they also gained weight.
The villagers were only surprised for a moment and then continued to busy themselves with their own affairs. Ever since Zhang Sanzhu was beaten with a stick, they didn't dare to speak about the Su family in private.
They knew very well that Madam Su was kind-hearted, otherwise the Zhang family would have been enslaved, and becoming enslaved would have been a real disgrace to their ancestors.
The four children of the Su family can be said to have met a good mother.
"Dad, we're back."
Su Ningxi happily walked into the yard with a bag of walnut cookies, took out a piece of walnut cookies and handed it to Su Xingyi.
"Dad, this is the walnut cake that Mom bought. Come and try it."
After Su Ningxi finished speaking, she lay on Su Xingyi's body and listened carefully. After a moment, she grinned.
"Dad, you eat first. I'll go help my brothers move their things."
As soon as Su Ningjie entered the yard, he took the key and opened the kitchen and backyard doors in turn. Then he took a large backpack and started picking chili peppers and millet peppers in the vegetable garden. He couldn't let others buy them all in two days, otherwise it would delay him from selling ingredients to more stores.
