Traveling through time, those years as a traffic officer
Chapter 8 Small Harvest
The man glanced at Yu Junshan and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
"I am a book lover just like you. Although my life is not so good now, I still want to collect some."
Yu Min had a new understanding of this cheap father. He was definitely not a pedantic person who could not see things clearly.
These words touched the man's heart. He pulled Yu Junshan away, and Yu Min followed behind.
He quickly left the door of the bookstore and said, "Brother, these are real ancient books. If it weren't for the last resort, I would be the only one left at home with nothing to eat. These black-hearted people actually gave me fifty cents? I refused to accept it and argued with them, but they kicked me out." The man said with great grief and indignation.
Yu Junshan looked at the books in the basket. "Brother, let's take a look. If there are any books that we don't have, I can buy a few, but I don't have much money."
"Brother, don't buy more books. I'll give you all the books in this basket. Just give me one dollar. I don't want paper money."
Yu Junshan shook his head. "Brother, I don't have a dollar. I only have sixty coins left. I'm really embarrassed to take your basket of books."
"Just sixty cents?"
"Yeah, my life is only slightly better than my brothers'. I can still eat, but I really don't have any money."
The man looked unwilling, but no one bought his book when he left the bookstore. However, he met a sucker and he didn't look like he was lying.
"Brother, you are also a book lover, so sixty cents is sixty cents."
"Brother. If I give you all, I won't be able to buy salt anymore." Yu Junshan said with a wry smile.
"Brother, asking you for sixty cents is already very little. I'll give you this basket."
Yu Junshan smiled bitterly again. "Okay, I'll accept the scolding when I get home."
After giving him a string of copper coins, the man counted them and put down the basket. "Brother, I have some books at home. If you still want them, do you see that house? That's my home, just come find me."
"Brother, where do I get the money? My wife is so strict."
"It's okay, it's okay, you think of a way. Let me tell you, my great grandfather used to be a county magistrate, and there are many calligraphy and paintings in his house."
Yu Min was particularly moved as she listened to it, and glanced at her stepfather.
"Brother, I really have no money. I can only say that I have no chance to have these things."
Yu Min realized that this cheap father would not help, but that was okay, there was a basket of books, enough for him to recognize traditional Chinese characters and learn to write.
"That's such a pity."
After the man left, Yu Junshan carried the basket and asked his daughter to put the two pieces of cloth in it.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Take Xiao Min to eat something delicious."
Yu Min shook her head and said, "Dad, let's not do that. It would be bad if Aunt Xu knew about it. Let's go to the grocery store. I want to buy a pair of scissors and needle and thread."
"Go to the blacksmith shop to buy a pair of scissors, and I'll buy you a dagger as well." Yu Junshan was still worried about his daughter, and it would be best if she had something to protect herself.
Yu Min thought that their life must have been very good in the past, and that his cheap father really didn't care about spending money.
She picked out a small dagger and a pair of scissors, then went to the grocery store and bought needles and thread, thimbles, and awls for making shoes.
The bronze mirror was very beautiful. Yu Junshan wanted to buy it for his daughter, but was rejected. What's the point of looking in the mirror? That would be a waste of money. But he bought some vegetable seeds, such as spinach, water spinach, and even potato seeds. He really should buy more of them.
I bought too much, so I had to buy another basket. After much persuasion, the people at the store gave me shoulder straps.
After buying everything they needed, the father and son found a place to sit down and wait for them.
Yu Min took out a book. It was all thread-bound. She didn't know what kind of ancient book it was, she just wanted to recognize the words here as quickly as possible.
"Xiao Min, I'll go buy you some pens and ink."
"Dad, that's not necessary. It's too particular and I'm afraid Aunt Xu will be unhappy. It's not necessary."
Yu Junshan sighed. He felt bad that his daughter was living so cautiously now. This was his daughter whom he held in his hands.
"Wait for me here, I'll buy you two steamed buns." Although he couldn't bear to eat other things, white flour steamed buns were still okay.
"Dad, you have to eat too, otherwise I won't." He is so good to me. I feel sorry for my cheap dad because I eat secretly every day.
Yu Junshan smiled and said, "Okay. Buy a few more."
I bought twelve steamed buns in total and some candied sugar triangles for her.
Finally, the father and son each had a sugar triangle and a steamed bun. It was too dry and they didn't bring any water, so they had to endure the thirst.
People are like this, the more they think about being thirsty, the more uncomfortable they feel.
Yu Junshan stood up and said, "Xiao Min, let's go to the restaurant and ask for some water to drink."
This word "ask" made Yu Min very uncomfortable. He also had self-esteem. But then he thought, a grown man can put down his pride, so what is he afraid of? How much is self-esteem worth now? He has lived his life again but still has not figured it out.
The father and son carried the baskets into a noodle shop. Yu Junshan smiled and asked the waiter for some water.
They were not embarrassed. They drank a bowl of water each and went out to continue waiting.
Xu Xiulian came to the host's house with her five daughters. The doorman knew her because she came here every now and then.
"Xiaowu, are the master and mistress home today?"
"Yes, the eldest lady also came back yesterday."
Xu Xiulian was so excited as she hadn't seen the young lady for a long time.
She went in excitedly and headed straight for the young lady's former yard.
"Xiaoling, is the young lady in there?"
"Sister Xiulian, the young lady is inside. I'll go and tell her."
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen the young lady for a long time. Today I will bring my five daughters to kowtow to the young lady."
Wu Xiaoxue and her five sisters have always heard their mother talk about how beautiful and wonderful her daughter is since they were young, so they were very excited to meet her this time.
After a while, the woman named Xiaoling came out and said, "Sister Xiulian, the lady asked you to come in."
Xu Xiulian straightened her clothes and called her five daughters to follow her.
"Miss."
"Xiu Lian, you have aged a lot." A gentle female voice came.
Xu Xiulian knelt down with a smile. "Xiulian, I haven't seen Miss for several years. Miss is still as beautiful as ever."
"Haha, you're still as lovable as ever. Are the people behind you your daughters?"
"Yes, my stomach was not happy and I gave birth to five daughters. You all kowtow to the young lady. If there is no young lady, there will be no mother, and there will be no you."
All five maids kowtowed.
"Hurry up and let me see."
All five of them were quite nervous. "They all look like you."
"They may look ugly, but they are tough and can work."
"Xiaoling, go get some copper coins. Give them 100 each."
"Miss, this is not allowed."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's the problem? This is the first time I meet your child. It's just a small thing."
The five sisters kowtowed again, but none of them said auspicious words.
