Pan Di is a girl, only twelve years old. How dare she come to the black market alone?
Li Xiyue was a little impressed by the little girl's courage and determination.
Since I have seen her, I can't just watch her being bullied.
"Auntie, how can you bully this young man?"
"Who are you calling auntie?" The woman looked at the man in front of her who was a few years older than her and greeted his ancestors for eighteen generations.
What a stupid man! He actually dared to call her "Auntie". Does he have any manners?
The man Li Xiyue disguised himself as this time had a hoarse voice. He yelled at the top of his lungs, loud and unpleasant, "Of course I'm calling you. What kind of place is this? How dare you pick a fight?"
"Why am I looking for trouble? This young man is trying to cheat me out of my money. He sold me this broken basket made of rattan from the mountains for two cents. It's broken and can't even hold anything." The woman yelled.
Two cents?
Li Xiyue rolled her eyes. She thought it was so expensive.
Xu Pandi said, "Even if the materials for weaving baskets are free, you still have to go to the mountains to cut them, and then you have to process them, and then you have to weave them. Do you know how to weave?"
Li Xiyue secretly applauded her and said well.
"If I could weave, why would I buy yours?" The woman said angrily, "I don't care anyway. Just give me back the money for the basket and the pumpkin."
Xu Pandi was not to be outdone. "Why should I pay you? You broke the basket and the pumpkin yourself. I think you're just trying to blackmail me."
"You little bastard, I think you're looking for a beating!" The woman cursed and was about to attack.
Li Xiyue stopped her. At this time, the person in charge of the black market also came over and directly drove the woman out.
"You dare to cause trouble in the black market? I think you don't want to live anymore!" After driving him out, he beat him up.
The woman didn't gain any benefit and was beaten, so she ran away crawling.
Xu Pandi said gratefully, "Uncle, thank you for speaking up for me."
"It's nothing. You're doing business at such a young age, just like me when I was young." Li Xiyue waved her hand rudely and squatted down to look at her basket.
It is well woven and relatively sturdy. As long as it does not exceed the load, there will be no problem.
I didn't expect Pan Di to have this skill.
"Uncle, let me give you a basket." Xu Pandi said.
Of course, Li Xiyue couldn't accept the basket that the child had worked so hard to weave, so she said, "You worked so hard to weave this, how can you give it to me? I'll buy a few, and you can give me a discount."
"No problem, just buy three and give me five cents."
Li Xiyue picked out a fruit basket, a vegetable basket, and a hand basket, paid, and left.
After leaving the black market, she entered the space and did not return to the village. Instead, she waited for Xu Pandi in the space.
Xu Pandi's baskets have many varieties and are beautifully woven, so they are sold out in no time.
She held on to the one dollar she earned, wrapped her head with a rag, and braved the heavy snow on a winter night to go home, taking one step at a time, walking with great difficulty.
Li Xiyue followed from a distance to escort her.
Li Xiyue felt bad seeing the child wrapped in thin clothes and struggling to move forward.
She thought about it, took some cotton and cloth from the warehouse, as well as some money, put them in a bag, and threw it on the road in front of Pan Di.
As Pan Di was walking, she found the bag covered with snow. She looked around and saw no one. She hesitated for a few seconds, then opened the bag out of curiosity and found cotton, cloth, and ten yuan.
So much cotton and cloth was enough for her and her sister to make a set of cotton-padded clothes, and there was still ten dollars left, which was the money she could earn from selling five hundred baskets.
Who dropped it?
If someone loses something, they will definitely be anxious, right?
She couldn't pick the things up.
But when she thought about how she and her two sisters had their hands bruised from weaving baskets, and how they had worked for a long time to earn only a little money, and how her sister was shivering with cold, she gritted her teeth, picked up the bag and ran away.
Li Xiyue in the dark breathed a sigh of relief. She was just worried that Pan Di would return the lost items. If Pan Di didn't want these things, she would have to find another way.
Fortunately, the child took the things away. If nothing unexpected happens, the sisters will not have to suffer from the cold this winter.
After watching Pan Di enter the village, Li Xiyue returned to the clinic and fell asleep in the space.
At Pan Di's home, except for her parents and younger brother who had already gone to bed, her younger sisters Zhao Di and Laidi were still waiting for her.
When they heard she came back, her sisters got up quickly, one poured hot water and the other wrapped a quilt around her.
The three sisters lived in a very small room, sleeping on one bed with a very thin quilt. Fortunately, they could keep each other warm.
"Sister, are you frozen? Drink some hot water to warm yourself up." Zhaodi is ten years old, but she is also very skinny.
Lai Di touched her sister's face. Her hands were frozen, and she felt distressed. "It must be very cold, right?"
"I'm not cold, Zhaodi and Laidi, let me tell you, I sold all the baskets today and made a dollar." Pandi said excitedly.
Her face was red from the cold, but when she got home and saw her sister, she didn't feel cold at all.
Zhaodi and Laidi were both delighted and said, "Sister is so amazing."
"And more." Pan Di whispered, "On the way back, I also picked up a big bag of cotton and cloth. We have cotton clothes to wear."
"Is this it?" Zhaodi opened the big bag that her sister brought back, and there was indeed warm cotton and soft cotton cloth inside.
Lai Di's face was full of joy, and she touched the cotton with her little hands, "It's so warm."
"Not only that, my sister also picked up ten dollars." Pan Di said.
The two sisters exclaimed, "Ten dollars!"
"Shh!" Pan Di gestured to her sister to speak in a lower voice. If they woke up their parents, they would be finished.
The two sisters quickly covered their mouths, listened for no sound, and then sat down next to their elder sister, whispering happily, "Sister, we've made a fortune."
"Zhaodi and Pandi, God must be helping us because we're having such a hard time." After drinking a cup of hot water, Pandi felt much less cold. She wrapped her two sisters in a blanket and said, "I believe we'll have a good life in the future."
"We believe that too."
The three sisters hugged each other and laughed, feeling that this winter was not so cold.
The next morning, Li Xiyue got up and opened the door, only to see snow all around.
Smoke from cooking fires rose in the village, and children who were not afraid of the cold had already run out to play in the snow.
Xiaobai jumped out quickly, with most of his body sunk into the snow.
What a thick snow.
Li Xiyue was just about to shovel a path when Zhou Yunze came with a shovel and helped her shovel the snow in no time.
Recently, Zhou Yunxia has been able to bring back some prey from the mountains every day, either to exchange for money or to eat herself, and the brother and sister have seen some weight gain.
The main thing is that they are very energetic and look full of vitality.
"Thank you, Zhou Zhiqing." Li Xiyue thanked with a smile.
Zhou Yunze said cheerfully, "These are just small matters. Don't be polite. Doctor Li, if you need anything, just ask. Don't be polite with us."
"good."
Zhou Yunze went back, and Li Xiyue was about to make breakfast. At this moment, Lai Di rushed into the yard crying and fell to the ground in the snow. She ignored the pain, got up, and cried out, "Sister, please save my elder sister!"
