Shopkeeper Liu asked Feng Laoer to nod, and Feng Laoer smiled and said, "I trust Shopkeeper Liu to do things. Now that the money and goods are settled, we will take our leave. My family is here, so I will take them out for a walk."
Manager Liu did not try to keep them and sent them out of the shop.
After walking a long way, the family members were still in shock. They didn't expect that a single ginseng could be sold for so much silver.
Lao Liu Fengjie said, "Oh my God, will we be able to eat meat every day in the future? Will we have endless new clothes to wear?"
He looked at Old Lady Feng with sparkling eyes.
Feng Lao Er knocked his son on the head and said, "You only think about eating. This money is for you boys to study and build a house. You only think about eating every day."
Fengjiu was also happy, watching her third uncle and father each holding a large box in their hands, looking around as if they were afraid that someone would come to snatch it away.
Feng Jiu held her forehead with her hand. Seeing that her father and third uncle couldn't go shopping like this, she pulled Feng Laosi's sleeve with her little hand, pointed to the alley not far away, and started babbling to Feng Laosi.
Feng Lao Si seemed to understand what his daughter wanted to do, so he asked Feng Lao Tou to hold his daughter and walk towards an empty alley.
A few people entered the alley nearby, and when they saw that there was no one there, they waved their hands and put the box into the space.
Feng Lao Si was fine, but Feng Lao San looked incredulous. The box he had just been holding disappeared in the blink of an eye.
With his mouth wide open, almost screaming, Feng Lao Si covered his third brother's mouth with one hand.
Feng Lao San came back to his senses and touched Feng Jiu's little hand to see where she was hiding. How could she disappear with just a wave of her hand?
Fengjiu did not explain. When the family saw that the boxes in the hands of the third and fourth sons were gone, they were not surprised at all. They must have known that Fengjiu had put them away.
The family had never gone shopping together before, and Fengjiu stared at the ancient street intently.
Feng Zhan said, "Grandma, let's buy a bunch of candied haws. My brothers and I can each have one."
The other boys were also watching intently, and two of the younger ones even licked their lips.
Seeing that her grandchildren were greedy, Old Lady Feng waved her hand and bought one string for each of them. Now everyone, young and old, had a string of candied haws in their hands.
The old man selling candied haws was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. He sold twenty strings at once and was so happy.
He also generously gave a string to Feng Zhan. He just heard that this kid bought it because he wanted to eat it.
Feng Zhan was also very happy. He thanked the old man and gave the candied haws to his mother.
Zhao: "Zhan'er, eat it yourself. Mother has her own!"
"Mom, you need to eat more. Son, just one string is enough. Eating too much will cause toothache."
Feng Lao Si patted his son's head and said, "My son has grown up and knows how to care for his mother. He has become a real man."
Feng Zhan smiled proudly: "Since the day my sister was born, I have become a man. Not only do I have to protect mother, I also have to protect my sister."
The three uncles also praised him: "Brother Zhan has always been the most mischievous one in the family. Now that he has a sister, he has become much more obedient. He is a real man."
The other brothers were crying in their hearts, and let the fifth brother and the fifth brother pretend to be good. Yesterday, they scared the dog of the clan leader's grandfather and made it fall into the toilet. Today, they are pretending to be good. Humph~
The owner of a nearby wonton stand saw the family chatting and laughing, so he called out to everyone, "Come and have a bowl of wontons. Our wontons have thin wrappers and big fillings, and the broth is made with bone broth. Grandpa and grandma, please buy a few bowls for your grandchildren to try!"
Old Lady Feng looked at her grandchildren and said, "Anyone of you who wants to eat can go and I'll give you some money."
The boys all shook their heads: "Grandma, we don't want to eat it. There is still meat at home. Let's go home and ask mom to make some for us. It's a waste to eat it outside."
Seeing that her grandchildren were so sensible, Grandma Feng felt very relieved.
A few of them walked along the way, and at the beginning each of them bought a string of candied haws. Even if they saw something they wanted to eat, they did not pester the adults to buy it for them.
Fengjiu thought her brothers were too sensible. What child wouldn't pester their parents to buy things when shopping with them? But her brothers were different. When their grandmother wanted to buy something for them, they would stop her from buying it.
As they were walking around, they saw a bookstore in front of them. Feng Zhong thought about it and told his grandmother that he wanted to go in and buy two books.
Old Lady Feng: "If you want to buy something, go in with your fourth uncle and bring your brothers with you. We women will be waiting for you outside."
Feng Laosi carried his daughter and the boys into the bookstore. The clerk greeted them and let them choose for themselves.
Feng Zhong had just picked up a collection of poems when it was snatched away by a fat and big-eared boy who came over.
Feng Zhong knew this person. He was his former classmate in private school and the son of the richest man in Nanshan County. His name was Han Jiabao.
When Fengzhong was in private school, he was jealous of Fengzhong's favor from the teacher and opposed Fengzhong in every way. After not seeing each other for several years, he met him here today.
Han Jiabao couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Hey, isn't this the talented Feng Zhong? How come he doesn't have money to go to a private school, but has money to go to a bookstore? Don't tell me he came to the bookstore to get something for free under the guise of buying books!"
Feng Zhong ignored him and picked up the book next to him and started reading.
Seeing Feng Zhong ignoring him, Han Jiabao got angry. No one in Nanshan County could be so disrespectful to him.
So he shouted loudly: "Boss, there's a freeloader in your store, do you want to do anything about it?"
At this time, the boys who came with Han Jiabao also came over. Seeing that it was Feng Zhong and the others, they also said in a tone of anticipation: "Yes, boss, this man has no money to buy books. I heard that his family can't even afford to eat, how can he have money to buy books?"
At this time, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, and several brothers of the Feng family also came over.
Feng Zhong looked calm and just glanced at a few people coldly.
Seeing that it was the Han family's kid causing trouble again, the shopkeeper said: "Whether he has money to buy books in my shop or not, he is welcome to buy them. It's not a big deal to take a look. Gentlemen, please go and pick out your own books."
Feng Jiu felt that the shopkeeper had good character and was not a snob. Han Jiabao was relentless: "This man reeks of poverty. If you don't kick him out today, I will never patronize your shop again."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I won't chase you away. If Mr. Han thinks my shop is not good, you can go buy from other shops."
Seeing this, Han Jiabao was so angry that he cursed: "You know I am a member of the Han family. How dare you speak to me like that? I'm afraid you don't want to open this shop in Nanshan County anymore!"
The shopkeeper said: "Don't say you don't have the ability. Even if your father came, he wouldn't have the guts to make me close the shop. If you want to buy books, buy them. If not, get out."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so tough, Han Jiabao didn't dare to make trouble anymore and left in disgrace with a few followers.
The shopkeeper patted Feng Zhong on the shoulder and said, "You can read whatever book you want, as long as you don't take it out with you."
The Feng family had a very good impression of the shopkeeper. They picked out a few books and went to the counter to pay.
The shopkeeper was surprised to see that several people wanted to buy books, but he didn't say anything. After they paid the money, they left the bookstore.
None of them talked about what happened in the shop and just followed behind Old Lady Feng.
