"Uncle Wu, these are the soaps I just made recently."
Lift up the cloth on the top of the backpack to reveal the colorful soap inside.
The pigments added to the soap are all extracted by Duan Juan from plants, and they either have a faint floral scent or a fragrant grass scent.
Su Qianfan really likes the improved version of soap. He even puts a piece of it on the bedside table so that he can take a few puffs of it when he has nothing to do.
This quirk has been teased by family members many times, but every time Duan Juan develops a new soap, she lets Su Qianfan try it first.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll sell all this soap for you in less than two days."
Worried that the children would be affected in their studies, Xiao Wu took the initiative to take on the job of selling soap.
But most of them were sent to the black market, and only a small part was kept for retail.
Every day he walked around the streets to listen to gossip, and when inspiration struck he would stay in the house to write his own storybook "Folk Tales". At a certain time, he would go home to cook for his children. Gradually, his life became less dull and boring.
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry. Take your time selling it."
On several occasions, Xiao Wu came back after dark, and Su Qianfan and others thought that Xiao Wu was busy with the soap business.
"I know. No rush, no rush."
How could he not be anxious?
There has been no follow-up to the gossip he heard last time he went to the steel plant’s staff quarters. He wants to go and ask what the situation is now. He is still waiting to finish his storybook.
"By the way, when do you start school so I can pick you up."
"Uncle, we will start school next Monday. We will come here a day early by ox cart. You don't have to go all the way to pick us up."
"We'll talk about it later. Be careful when you come back later."
Seeing that it was still daylight, Xiao Wu did not send the children away and let them ride the donkey cart by themselves.
Only Qian Fan and Daya came to deliver the goods this time.
After delivering the goods, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
"Brother Qianfan, do you think the color of this cloth is beautiful?"
Daya asked, holding a piece of dark green cloth.
"Why buy cloth when there is nothing to lose? Why buy such green cloth? If the clothes made from it don't look good, you will become a walking vegetable leaf." Su Qianfan answered in a straight man's way.
Under Su Qing's brainwashing, he felt that green was unlucky, even though he didn't have a wife now.
The image of the leaf-shaped clothes was lingering in Daya's mind.
"What about this one? This one is dark red, it's festive enough, isn't it?"
"Goodbye, sister Daya. Don't you think this color is exactly the same as pig's blood that has been left for a long time? Then swarms of flies will swarm around you. How disgusting."
Daya was so angry that she wanted to wrap Su Qianfan with cloth.
Forget it, dear cousin, just keep enduring.
Besides, she is also responsible for not letting Su Qianfan develop into a warm man.
"What about this one? It has small floral patterns. It will definitely look great as a skirt."
Su Qianfan frowned, "But these flowers are too scattered. I feel dizzy after looking at them for a while. If you really like flowers, I will pick a few for you when we get back."
Straight men’s thinking: liking floral dresses means liking flowers.
The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Perhaps infected by the laughter, Daya also laughed out of anger.
"So what color of cloth would you buy?"
Daya asked, putting her hands on her hips and pointing at the cloth on the shelf.
Su Qianfan pointed to the most eye-catching piece of cloth with phoenix and peony flowers, "This one looks good."
He saw that many families had bed sheets and quilts of this color in their new homes after getting married. It must have a good meaning and should look good when worn.
Daya gave up asking a straight man for his opinion.
Ask the salesperson to cut two feet of dark green cloth.
"Brother Qianfan, do you want to buy anything else?"
"I don't know what we need at home. How about buying two cans of malted milk? We're almost out of it."
"OK."
After buying the things, the two were about to leave, but the hairband in the corner attracted Daya again.
"Brother Qianfan, which of these hair ties looks good?"
Girls always have the highest passion for beautiful things.
"This one."
Su Qianfan couldn't choose, so he pointed to one at random, and it happened to be the one that Daya disliked the most.
Forget it, Daya gave up completely and started to choose silently.
After paying the bill, the two of them excitedly went to the town entrance to ride a donkey cart.
Suddenly, a man with a face full of flesh appeared in front of them, grabbed Daya and ran away.
He was stopped by Su Qianfan.
"I'm taking my daughter home, why are you stopping me? Everyone, come and take a look. Some people can't find a wife, so they kidnap my daughter and take her home. They are absolutely unscrupulous and insane."
Relying on the disparity in physical strength, the man covered Daya with one hand and blocked Su Qianfan's outstretched hand with the other.
Although Su Qianfan is only twelve years old, he is already 1.69 meters tall and looks like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone began to condemn Su Qianfan.
"Let go, don't block people from taking their daughter home."
"That's right, you look like a decent person, but I didn't expect you to do something like kidnapping someone else's daughter."
"We'll help you catch him, you take your daughter and run."
Su Qianfan looked with bloodshot eyes at these people who knew nothing but started talking nonsense.
Daya broke free from the man's hand that was covering her mouth.
"He's my brother. He brought me to town to visit relatives. It wasn't an elopement. I don't even know this man."
"Uh-huh...I need to call the police. I don't know this man."
Daya's words made the onlookers a little shaken.
For a moment they didn't know how to stand in line.
