  Chapter 3, Selling Books for Money

   "Mother, I bought the steamed buns." Sun Xiu said softly.

  Han Qiaowen smiled and said, "Come, let's serve dinner."

   One person has two steamed buns, and a bowl of thin porridge and soup is drunk in turn. The three children eat steamed buns all gobbled up, like eating delicious food.

   "Mother, the steamed buns are delicious." Sun Ke was full of happiness, chewing and swallowing like a little mouse, and took another big bite.

  Han Qiao didn't make any promises.

  But secretly vowed in her heart that the three children must live a good life, and it would not be in vain for her to come to this different world.

  Ten steamed buns, four mothers to share equally.

   It’s just that after the three children ate one and a half, they refused to eat the last steamed bun and wanted to save it for dinner.

   "Let's eat, let's eat white rice and fried meat at night."

  Sun Ke tilted his head, "Mother, there is no rice and no meat at home."

   "Mother will do a trick for you in a while." Han Qiao patted the little girl's head.

  Struggling to get out of bed with the pain, Han Qiao did a little exercise to let her soul get used to the pain, and she walked out of the room slowly.

  The small courtyard of the Sun family is actually not small, but it is not big either.

  There are three main rooms, the middle room is the main room, the left and right rooms are for a husband and wife, and one is Sun Yiming's study room. The courtyard door is directly opposite the main room gate.

The three daughters lived in the house on the left, the kitchen on the right, the well in the corner, the hut in the backyard, and a small vegetable field in the backyard. Sun Yiming pulled out the vegetables and gave them away. There was nothing left .

  This time, Sun Yiming will be heavy-handed. One is that he has no money to treat guests, and the other is that he has nothing to give away.

  Han Qiao took a deep breath.

  This is a useless thing that lacks great virtue. She has to eat and drink enough to nourish her body and gather enough strength. When the time comes, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

  Han Qiao scanned the house very much, but there was really nothing of value.

   Not entirely.

  She stepped into Sun Yiming's study.

  This guy is actually very poor, the bookshelves are empty, there is nothing, but there are more than ten books in a wooden box, which are very well preserved.

  The pages of the book are written in traditional Chinese characters.

   She reached out and opened it to look. She recognized a few, but there were really only a few.

  In my impression, this is Sun Yiming's own handwritten copy, and I have to say that the dogbi handwriting is pretty good.

  She doesn't know how much these books can sell for? So I didn't take all of them out, but only took one out of the study.

   "Axiu, I'll go out for a while, you take care of your two younger sisters at home."

   "Mother, let me go with you." Sun Xiu said softly.

  Han Qiao thought for a while, then looked at Sun Yi, "Ayi, you stay at home and watch Ake."

  Sun Yi nodded, silently did not say much.

   "Mother, I will obediently listen to the second sister and not run around. Mother and eldest sister will come back early." Sun Ke immediately said obediently.

  Han Qiao patted Sun Ke's head and took Sun Xiu out.

  Sun Xiu obediently didn't ask where Han Qiao was going?

  As usual when going out, she silently and obediently followed Han Qiao.

  Han Qiao found the bookstore based on memory.

  She has already planned along the way, if the book cannot be sold, she will go to a restaurant to sell recipes.

  Seeing her mother walking towards the bookstore, Sun Xiu opened her mouth in astonishment, and hurriedly followed.

  When I entered the bookstore, I ran into Heng Yi who came out of the bookstore.

   When looking at each other, Heng Yi quickly looked away, adhering to the principle of "do not look at evil."

  Han Qiao sized up the tall and mighty figure in front of her, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and pretty hips.

  This figure is really nothing to say.

  As for his appearance, he also has bright eyebrows and a righteous face, and he looks like a simple and honest person.

  From her memory, she naturally knew that this was the fifth son of the Heng family next door, who usually went hunting in the mountains.

  He is silent and dull, the kind who can't beat a fart with eight poles.

   "Fifth Uncle Heng." Sun Xiu called softly.

  Heng Yi glanced at the mother and daughter, said yes as a response, and then walked away without stopping. The speed was so fast that Han Qiao was speechless.

  It's good to be young!

  The shopkeeper of the bookstore is a middle-aged man, elegantly dressed, and he looks like a very knowledgeable person. When he saw Han Qiao coming in in a sloppy suit, he frowned slightly but didn't say anything to push him away.

   Instead, he asked politely, "What does this lady want to buy?"

   "Shopkeeper, I want to sell a handwritten thousand-character essay, please take a look, do you accept it here?" Han Qiao said and handed the book.

  The shopkeeper glanced at Han Qiao, and then at Sun Xiu who followed her in.

  Both the mother and daughter were in a state of embarrassment, and they looked embarrassed. They thought that the family could not survive, so they sold the books in exchange for money to buy food.

   "Let me see."

  The shopkeeper took the book.

  The book is well preserved, and the shopkeeper is somewhat satisfied when he opens the book and reads the handwriting.

  The characters are well written, neat and clean, and there are no typos.

  A new book of Thousand Characters costs six to seven hundred words, so the price of an old book is greatly reduced, but it will not be very cheap.

   "This book can be sold for two hundred coins. If you are willing, I will give you the money."

  Sun Xiu's eyes were full of shock.

  Two hundred words...

  Han Qiao was much calmer, and said calmly, "Sell."

  One book, two hundred texts in hand.

  Han Qiao thinks that there are more than a dozen books at home. Each book has a different number of words, different size and thickness, and the price should be different. If they are all sold to buy food, the mothers will not be hungry for the time being.

   After a month and a half, she can work hard to make money after her body is well maintained.

   Taking the money out of the bookstore, Sun Xiu approached Han Qiao and called out cautiously, "Mother?"

   Two hundred texts. They make one hundred pennies of paper for a month, or the four of them have to get up early and work in the dark to make money.

"Let's go buy rice grains, buy some seeds, turn over the land in the backyard, and buy a piece of bath beans. We have to wash them well. Then we will buy you, A Yi, and A Ke each a red-headed string .”

  The three children all tied their hair with cloth strips, which looked really pitiful.

   "..." Sun Xiu opened her mouth wide.

  Buying a red-headed rope was something she couldn't even imagine.

   "Go buy some vegetables and meat, let's have a good meal tonight."

  Han Qiao didn't give Sun Xiu time to react at all, and took her to buy ten catties of rice and five catties of white flour, thinking that the family didn't have much salt, so he added a catty of salt, and one hundred Wen was gone.

  Sun Xiu felt sorry for Qian, and her heart twitched.

   "Mother, it's good to buy coarse grains, but don't buy rice and white noodles." Sun Xiu was very entangled.

  She wants to eat white rice and white flour steamed buns.

  But they couldn't eat it when they bought it home, and it all went into their father's stomach.

  Han Qiao stroked Sun Xiu's head.

"listen to me."

   Went to buy bath beans again.

  Bath beans are very expensive, twenty yuan a piece, Sun Xiu watched with heartache as Han Qiao paid for one piece, and bought a jar of shampoo, which cost another twenty-five yuan.

If you buy two catties of pork and a big bone, twenty-one cents are gone, and seeds are gone for ten cents. If you buy ten eggs, you will pay another ten cents. With the remaining money, you can buy three big pumpkins, a handful of green onions, and a few green onions. Melon, a bundle of Chinese vegetables, leaving Sanwen to buy three red-headed ropes.

  The two hundred coins were spent cleanly, not a single coin was left.

   Carrying things, Sun Xiu felt weak all over and couldn't walk.

   "Mother..."

  Han Qiao looked at Sun Xiu's worried face, and smiled, "Don't you still have books at home? When the time comes, sell those books for money."

   "Mother still wants to sell books?"

  Sun Xiu was stunned.

   "Sell it, those books in the box are useless except waiting for moths, how good it is to sell them for food."

   "But, but..." Sun Xiu was terrified.

  Those books are my father's lifeblood.

   "Not only do I want to sell those books, but when your father comes back, I also want to ask them to continue writing."

  There is a man who can make money in the family and don’t use it. Should he be left to rust?

  Back home, Sun Yi and Sun Ke were shocked when they saw the things they bought.

  When Han Qiao took out the red-headed rope, Sun Yi was shocked and couldn't believe it.

  Sun Ke danced happily.

   "Mother, mother, you are the best."

  She dreamed of having a red-headed rope.

  Sun Xiu and Sun Yi naturally thought about it too, but they were sensible and never showed it.

   "Axiu, Ayi quickly help to fetch water and heat the fire, wash yourselves first, and mother will comb your hair." Han Qiao said happily.

  She wanted to do the work by herself, but her body was really hurting.

  She has been holding on all the way, and now she just wants to take a good rest.
