Already.

They will get up early to sell dates tomorrow. Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Shan went to bed early after dinner. Before going to bed, Qin Xiaoxiao specifically asked Qin Shan whether the dates in the basket sold well, but not the ones on the tree.

Eat again.

After receiving a positive answer, the little girl let out a long sigh, which made Qin Shan laugh.

Fortunately, the little girl didn't tell her that the dates couldn't be sold and she wanted to keep them for herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go to the city and the whole family would just stare at her eating up a thousand kilograms of dates from a tree.

.

The rooster crowed three times, and Qin Shan dug Qin Xiaoxiao out of her thin quilt, sleeping like a piglet. It wasn't until he put on long clothes, trousers and a jacket that the little girl finally woke up.

come over.

"Dad, I have to go on a journey soon. It will be hot if I wear so much!" Qin Xiaoxiao took a look at the pink jacket on her body and felt that she was wearing too much, so she reached out to take it off.

"Don't take it off. It's cold outside. What should I do if I get cold?" Qin Shan held her hand, put on her shoes, and then found a comb to tie her hair: "Later, daddy will pick out the dates and you."

, you don’t have to walk.”

At this time of year, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the temperature in the mountains is lower than outside. Just wearing long clothes and long trousers cannot block the cold.

Qin Xiaoxiao muttered: "Dad also thinks that I have short hands and feet, so when you and mother gave birth to me, why didn't you make me as big as my elder brother?"

Lin Qiuniang, who came in with a basin of warm water to wash her daughter's face, heard this and stared at Qin Shan with eyebrows raised: "What nonsense are you talking to my daughter so early in the morning?"

Qin Shan shouted his injustice, recounted the conversation between himself and his daughter, and couldn't help but knock her on the forehead: "This girl's head is full of weird ideas, I can hardly speak anymore."

.”

Lin Qiuniang couldn't stop laughing. When she was washing her daughter's face, she explained to her: "People grow up slowly. When your eldest brother was in your second aunt's belly, he was not half as big as you. When you grow up,

In a few years, he will be as old as him."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he thought of the big rabbit under the eaves that had almost grown to the size of a rabbit: "It turns out that humans are just like the big rabbit, they grow from small babies to big babies!"

Lin Qiuniang nodded and gestured with her hands: "When your little aunt gives birth to the baby, I will take you to see it. The newborn baby is only this big!"

Qin Xiaoxiao compared her mother's hands with her own small arms and said in surprise: "Was I this big when I was just born?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Qiuniang's face, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't notice: "Yes, you were so big when you were first born, and you were as thin as a kitten. I didn't expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye.

Big."

The words were talking about Qin Xiaoxiao's appearance when she was first picked up. At that time, she was really as thin as a kitten, and even her cries were soft and soft, which made people doubt whether she could be fed.

Qin Xiaoxiao caught the word "cat" and unexpectedly thought of those skinny cats blocking the way.

It turns out that she was so pitiful when she was a child. Well, let’s give them some food in the future!

After washing up, the father and son went to the kitchen and ate up the egg noodles that Lin Qiuniang had specially made for them when they got up early. They also put several baked scallion pancakes into Qin Xiaoxiao's basket and kept them for lunch.

In addition to the fried cakes, there are also some washed jujubes in the small basket for the guests to taste.

When he came to the main room and saw a basket of the same size next to the basket containing dates, Qin Xiaoxiao knew that this was the basket for himself.

Worried about hurting Qin Xiaoxiao, Lin Qiuniang put an old cotton coat at the bottom of the basket. Just like that, Qin Xiaoxiao was carried into the basket and sat down, and was picked out of the house by Qin Shan along with Zaozi.

She looked at the basket of jujubes opposite, feeling as if she was a very large jujube that had grown into sperm.

There were a lot of people coming into the city this time, and most of them took the mung beans, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains harvested from the fields to the grain stores to sell. They knew that Qinshan was going to sell dates, but even though they thought it was a little difficult to sell them, everyone still talked a lot about it.

encouraging words.

However, most people's attention was attracted by Qin Xiaoxiao in the basket, and they couldn't stop teasing her.

Qin Xiaoxiao knew that the elders had no ill intentions and was happy to pass the time chatting with them about the east, west, and west. She was young and knew little, so she asked many questions. Every time someone answered her questions, she started to boast.

To boast, to praise people like nothing in heaven or earth.

The key is that the little girl's praise comes from the heart and does not make people feel hypocritical or annoying at all. Those who were praised are all very happy and are willing to tell her more interesting things.

With Qin Xiaoxiao as a pistachio, everyone no longer felt bored along the way, and they reached the city gate before they knew it.

Qin Xiaoxiao, who was looking around, suddenly pointed to a place about ten feet away from the city gate and shouted: "Dad, let's sell dates here!"

Qin Shan thought that his daughter just said it casually and did not agree: "Xiaoxiao, there are more people in the city than here. It will be easier for us to sell the dates in the city."

Unexpectedly, this time Qin Xiaoxiao's attitude was very determined: "Dad, just sell it here, the dates will be sold out!"

Qin Shan's eyelids twitched, and regardless of other people's persuasion, he picked Qin Xiaoxiao and Zao'er to the place designated by Qin Xiaoxiao and put them down.

The villagers walking towards the city looked at Qin Shan who was carrying Qin Xiaoxiao out, and shook their heads:

"Oh, Dashan is too happy to laugh at you. There are many people coming and going at the gate of the city, but who would fall in love with the inconspicuous Zao'er!"

"That's right. If you can't sell it, you'll have to work hard to pick it back, and a whole day's work will be in vain."

"You can't say that. The Qin family's fortune has been good in the past few years, and there is an embroidery girl here. Maybe it can be sold."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

They couldn't say they were jealous of the Qin family, who were getting better and better, but they definitely had envy. But envy was useless. Xiu Yatou was raised by the Qin family, and she had deep feelings for the Qin family, so she couldn't go to their house.

Regardless of the various thoughts that popped up in the villagers' minds, Qin Shan turned the empty basket upside down on the ground and wanted to pick Qin Xiaoxiao up and sit down.

"Dad, you are tired, please sit down." Qin Xiaoxiao felt sorry that her father had not stopped to rest while carrying her and Zaoer on the road, so she hurriedly pushed him onto the basket.

After walking for two hours, Qin Shan was indeed a little tired, so he sat on the bamboo basket without saying anything. Fortunately, the basket was densely woven, and it was not crushed when he, a big man, sat on it.

This is the second time Qin Xiaoxiao has come to the city. Even if she has not entered the city, everything at the gate of the city is new to her. She stood on tiptoes and looked around, but she did not dare to wander alone. Some time ago

She still remembers Xiaomu being abducted!

The Qin family's father and daughter were not the only ones selling things at the gate of the city. Even before they came here, there were more than twenty stalls. Most of the stalls were filled with tea, fruits and the like, specially sold to those entering or leaving the city.

Caravan.

This kind of people are generous with their money, and when they see something suitable and useful, they usually buy a lot of it at once. Therefore, although there are not as many people coming and going here as in the city, they make no less than those who set up stalls in the city.

.

The father and daughter of the Qin family were strangers, so someone secretly observed them as soon as they arrived. Seeing that the items they were selling were very similar to jujubes and much larger than jujubes, someone came over and asked, "Brother, what are you selling?"

"

Qin Shan saw that what he was selling was tea, and there was no conflict with his own family, so he said truthfully: "It's jujube, grown from my jujube tree. I couldn't finish it, so I wanted to sell it for some money."

The man said in surprise: "Brother, your jujube looks very juicy. Is it possible that it is a new species introduced from elsewhere?"

Qin Shan said vaguely: "What kind of new and old seeds are planted? It's the kind of jujube trees that grow in our area. I guess it's only with good care that these jujubes grow like this."

The man had no doubts, and just as he was about to ask how it tasted, he saw a wave of customers coming to his stall, and he quickly went back to greet them.

The people at other stalls were sure that Qinshan was selling jujubes, and they all thought to themselves whether Qinshan was a fool. He had gone all the way to pick out what to sell, but he chose the jujubes that no one would buy. Even these jujubes.

Although the baby looks good, it almost looks nothing like Zaoer, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that it is Zaoer.

Especially the fruit stall owners, they immediately excluded Qinshan from the competition and became more confident in their own fruits.

Looking at other people's stalls, people were coming one after another. His own basket was full of dates but not a single one was sold. Qin Xiaoxiao became a little anxious and tugged on Qin Shan's sleeves and said, "Dad, let's shout.

!”

Qin Shan was confused: "What are you calling?"

Qin Xiaoxiao did not answer. She stood in front of her own jujubes, opened her mouth and shouted in a low voice: "Sell jujubes, sweet and crisp jujubes, no money if they are not sweet -"

The little girl's voice was soft and pure, carried in all directions by the thin wind, gently passing through people's ears, as if it were wrapped in honey and penetrated into the heart.

Not far away, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly and suddenly stopped for some reason.

No one noticed this scene. Whether they were passers-by or customers at other stalls, they were all attracted by Qin Xiaoxiao's soft and sweet voice. They couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and saw it.

A pretty and cute little girl.

Qin Shan stared blankly at his daughter who was selling jujubes hard, not knowing what to do for a long time.

At this moment, the first customer came to the stall, a middle-aged man: "Is this a jujube? How to sell it?"

Qin Shan came back to his senses and greeted excitedly: "This is jujube, three cents a pound."

Compared with those fruits that cost seven or eight cents per catty, three cents per catty is really cheap, and only one cent more expensive than the most common melon. I have no choice, it is my first time to sell dates, I am afraid that the price will be too high and no one will buy it, so I want to

Since they didn't have much money, the Qin family decided on a price of three cents per catty after discussion.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was slightly disappointed. He didn't say buy it or not buy it.

Qin Shan felt nervous, thinking that the price was too high and the business would be ruined. Just as he was about to drop a penny, Qin Xiaoxiao, who stopped selling, held a clean jujube in her small hand and raised it high to the middle-aged man: "Uncle

, you can try one, it’s free of charge!”

The middle-aged man was attracted by Qin Xiaoxiao's voice. Looking at her bright smile, he couldn't help but smile: "You really don't need money?"

"Yeah, no, please let uncle eat." Qin Xiaoxiao raised the jujube higher, and everyone could see her sincerity.

The middle-aged man took the jujube without hesitation, put it to his mouth and took a bite. In an instant, he suspected that the jujube he was eating had been soaked in a honey pot.

The middle-aged man ate the dates carefully for a long time. Facing the expectant faces of the Qin family's father and daughter, he waved his hand and said, "Five kilograms, okay?"

, ten pounds!”

Qin Shan was overjoyed: "Hey, I'll weigh you right away." After saying that, he took the bag handed over by the middle-aged man and quickly filled it with dates.
