Wouldn't this make Aunt Su suffer?

I have been a little presbyopic since I retired, and these small words look like little bugs. Aunt Su can see them, but Aunt Su can't see them.

Aunt Su had no choice but to take out a crystal mirror from her small bag.

This crystal mirror was one of the gifts given to me when I was in the capital.

I think he knows that Madam Su is old and this thing is of great use.

It's actually just a small magnifying glass.

But this thing only costs a few dollars in modern online shopping. If it comes here, there is no glass, so can it only be polished with crystal? Therefore, it is worth at least 100 taels of silver, which is considered a valuable gift.

Aunt Su turned on the charging light and used a magnifying glass to look at the information carefully.

Although Su Juanjuan did screen it a little when printing, wasn't it Aunt Su who needed it urgently, and the call time was only fifteen minutes?

Even though the mother and daughter kept their conversation short, Su Juanjuan even printed while talking, making full use of the time. There was still a lot to say that would have to wait until next time.

Aunt Su copied the useful information bit by bit into the small notebook she carried with her.

When I finished copying, I found that the sky was almost bright!

I went to bed after finishing copying, and slept until dawn.

Aunt Su was an old lady, so no one in the group dared to wake her up early.

So when Aunt Su opened her eyes, she looked at the time and it was already half past nine.

Sumei brought breakfast. The conditions on the road were limited, so they could only have some porridge, flatbreads, egg custard, and vegetables with oil, salt, and salt.

Aunt Su had been busy for half the night and was really hungry. Although the breakfast was simpler than usual, she ate a lot more.

Lin Laoer was still waiting for Aunt Su to say to set off, but he didn't expect that after Aunt Su finished her meal, she was not in a hurry at all. She said that the scenery of the village was nice and asked everyone to go for a walk.

As for Aunt Su herself, she asked someone to invite the old lady from the landlord's family to come and chat with her.

Madam Jiao was watching on the side, just listening to her own old lady talking about a lot of random things with a smile on her face.

What? The sun is a bit hot today. It seems to be hotter this year than last year. There is not much rain. It is also so hot in Beijing. How many acres of land and cows does the landlord have? How is the harvest?

The landlord also has several sons and daughters, who are not married yet and have several children.

Look, when it comes to her children's marriage, the old landlady is particularly excited.

After the first few talks, they started talking about the little girl in the family who was going to get married in a few days.

The harvest from the land we farmed this year is not as good as in previous years, otherwise I could have made an extra pair of official hat chairs for my little girl as a dowry.

When Aunt Su heard this, she turned around and looked at Aunt Jiao with a smile.

"I remember we bought some new jewelry in the capital, and planned to take them back to give to the children of our relatives and old friends. Go look through the luggage and find a pair of hairpins to give to the young lady as a make-up."

The old woman hurriedly tried to stop him, "Oh, you can't do that!"

Aunt Jiao responded with a smile and left, and soon came back with a pair of gold-covered and silver-covered hairpins.

There was a struggle in the old woman's eyes. She pushed it away with Aunt Su for a long time, but finally she accepted it.

Her family entertained passing merchants, so life was not difficult. They also prepared some silver head ornaments for their daughter.

But how can it compare with the new style hairpins in the capital that are covered with gold and silver?

How glorious it would be if this were added to the dowry?

He immediately thanked her profusely and called his little daughter to kowtow to the old lady.

Aunt Su chatted with the old landlady before starting to set off.

It is this speed that is really worrying.

Before we had walked a few miles, we would stop to enjoy the scenery.

Get off the car and walk around here and there. If you meet villagers working in the fields, ask them to come over and talk to them.

After finally reaching Caodian Town before dark and finding a decent inn to stay in, Lin Laoer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Su was still busy after dinner. Before it got dark, she took a few people out for a stroll in the town.

The terrain of Caodian Town is flat, with a river to the east, a gentle grassy slope to the north, and fertile fields and crisscrossing paths to the west and south.

Therefore, the roads in Caodian Town are paved with bluestone, the houses are neatly arranged, and the people walking in the town are dressed no differently from the common people in the capital, so it seems that they live a good life.

The townspeople have money and there are many shops in the town. In such a small town, there are more than 20 shops.

As for small vendors and those setting up stalls with carts, there are even more of them.

The last time Aunt Su came to Beijing from Tongcheng, she stayed in this small town for one night.

At that time, the servants bought some wild vegetable buns and fermented rice wine roast duck in the town, and Aunt Su found them very good.

This time, she didn't need a servant to buy things for her, she bought them while she was walking around.

Madam Jiao smiled and said, "Wait until tomorrow morning and ask someone to buy more for us to eat on the way!"

The weather is still hot now, and food will go bad the next day, so we can only buy and eat it now.

A few people were talking and laughing as they were about to walk towards the inn when they saw a few men on the roadside pushing a beggar to the ground and kicking and beating him.

Aunt Jiao was startled and tried to protect Aunt Su and leave quickly.

Who knows who are the people fighting? Be careful not to bump into the old lady.

Aunt Su looked at the ones she had with her.

In addition to her and Nanny Jiao, the two old ladies, there were four middle-aged male servants.

Moreover, this place is only a few hundred steps away from the inn.

Even if something happens, I can run over and call for help.

He walked a few dozen steps before he stopped and told two servants to go over and see what was going on.

These two male servants were trained as guards in the capital. Both their strength and voices are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

So he was not afraid and went up to her and asked loudly, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting someone for no reason?"

The men who were beating the man stopped for a moment when they saw that the group of people were well-dressed and seemed to be from important backgrounds.

They all shouted, "Sir, this beggar is not from our town. I don't know where he came from today. He just keeps begging for food. He asks for food from this house and that house. We have clearly given him a lot of food, but he is still greedy and stops people to ask for money..."

"That's right, how can we find such idle people in our town? With hands and feet, he can't even support himself?"

"If we leave him in town, what if he steals something?"

Aunt Su gave Aunt Jiao a few instructions.

Madam Jiao stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, please stop for now. My old lady wants to call him over for questioning."

Aunt Su returned to the inn and sat down to rest.

Not long after, the servant brought the beggar over, tidied him up so that he didn't look so dirty, and then brought him to Aunt Su.

After the beggar cleaned it up, it looked presentable.

He was just a boy of about sixteen or seventeen, but one of his eyelids was droopy, and he was obviously half blind.

Aunt Su asked him, "Hey young man, where are you from?"
