It took sun hwa half an hour to pack up all she bought, then she begun to mentally calculate how much everything would cost
Unlike the two sets of clothes, she had bought not long ago, this clothes were defected clothes mostly worn by the common folks
The shirts cost 1yuan each, short pants cost 1 yuan, long pants cost 1 yuan 50 fen and the cotton padded jackets cost 5 yuan each. For the little guy sun hwa purchased 10 shirts , 5 shorts pants for 5 yuan, 5 long pants for 7 yuan 5 fen, with 2 cotton padded jackets for 10 yuan for the little guy as well as 3 shoes which cost 2 yuan each for 6 yuan , a dozen of childrens underwear (male) for 20 fen.
"You can just pay 28 yuan" the factory worker said after finalizing the calculation "I've bought so much, it would be a loss if you don't throw in some things in, 28 yuan is no small sum" sun hwa pointed out, to this the worker hesitated somewhat conflicted
"This undershirts are old stock but can still be worn, all 6pcs and 3 sets of pajamas" the factory worker added the said into the bundle and packed it all up for sun hwa who paid with a warm smile
"I'll come again" with that said, she pulled the little guy towards a road side stall selling steaming glistening white buns
"I'm not hungry" the little one shook his head repeatedly, not wanting sun hwa to spend more than she already had
"It's just money, the uncles are making more for us,
When I give you eat, alright" sun hwa scolded making the dark skinned boy pout his lips
"What do you wanna get beautiful lady" the stall owner, a fat round man couldn't help smiling,seeing the interaction between the two
"How much are the buns sold for?" Sun hwa asked swallowing softly at the delicious aroma in the air
" meat and pork buns sell for 1 yuan, red bean and black bean buns sell for 80 fen and vegetable buns sell for 60 fen" the man replied already packing order for another customer
"I'll have 5 pieces of each" sun hwa pointed out, the stall owner laughed happily as he begun to pack her own order, even throwing in three extra buns for free
"24 yua, just give me 22 yuan, for first time patronage" the stall owner grinned happily as he wrapped up the buns
Sun hwa paid with ease then she handed a large meat bun the size of an adult's fist to the little . He stared at the bun for a few seconds before taking a large bite
"Come again customer" the stall owner waved at sun hwa who gave a curt nod and continued on her way. She stopped at the department store where she bought two large cans of malted milk for 7 yuan , one can of milk powder for 8 yuan , a dozen exercise books for 1 yuan 20 fen , a dozen of pencils for 60 fen, a new toothpaste for 1 yuan and tooth brush for 30 fen , bath soap for 50fen and bath towel for 2 yuan , canned peaches for 2 yuan , a pack of white rabbit candies 80fen, a pack of butter cookies for 4 yuan , rice crackers for 50fen
All of which amounted to 27 yuan
This time was done, she made her way back to the spot she had left both Jinlong and dazhuang, handing 4 steamed buns each to each men and finishing 2 steamed buns herself with a can of chilled soda,which was shared with the little
" you shouldn't spend too much" Dazhuang couldn't help advising as he begun to pack up
They had sold every bit of meat including the buns which had been sold too
" I just bought what we'll need" sun hwa raised her hands in surrender as she climbed unto the ox cart with the little guy, who quietly nibbled on his red bean bun while watching the two men bustle around
It took half an hour to pack up, after which they started the journey back to Qingshan village
And sun hwa was startled seeing a small crowd in front of her house with Guo Jinyi, Xiao Xia and another person, trying to hold everyone back
"Luckily you came quickly" Xiao Xia ran over almost out of breath
"Fifth wife hand over the meat quickly! The mountain is for the good of the village,
You can't hide things when the whole village is starving" Aunt Lin's loud voice was the first thing sun hwa heard as she hopped off the cart
This time she didn't hold herself back from a good laugh
"Aunt Lin, you speak like I did something wrong" she chuckled clearly amused by the calculating thoughts of this neighbor of hers
"Bringing the whole village to my front door like I Zhang sun hwa, stole from your family" sun hwa laughed even more barely able to hold herself back
"The mountain goods, should be delivered to the village chief or team leader and shared among everyone in the village
You don't know how things work on the village, for future purposes, let this aunt educate you" Aunt Lin spoke righteously earning nods of approval from the crowd
"You're saying the gamey smell in your kitchen just last night wasn't moutain game?" Sun hwa folded her arms in interest
"My son brought meat back from the big city" Aunt Lin retorted
"your words Aunt Lin, everything belongs to the village" Sun hwa spread her arms righteously
The little guy couldn't help frowning "Aunt Lin, bringing people over like this makes no sense, every family has the right to venture into the mountains and secure their own food,
Bringing people over to make a scene is blatant bullying, even my father would not interfere
The fifth wife caught her game, single-handedly, why should others benefit from something she almost lost her life for?" Dazhuang's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear
Though they were thick skinned, hearing him speak this way made everyone flush in embarrassment
Aunt Lin's lips pulsed a frown settling on her lips at the turn of tables, however before she could speak Sun hwa spike first "anyone who intends to buy, sister Jinyi would be in charge of selling for 3 yuan per pound, I've got a few pounds of meat to sell, all to benefit us village folks" sun hwa winked at Aunt Lin, who almost choked on her own breathe
And without a care in the world sun hwa strode into the house with the little guy in tow
She weighed out 100 pounds of beer meat and innards which she took out for Guo Jinyi to handle, while she cut up a large watermelon and shared it between them to eat
She had the largest piece
Munching while watching the large crowd of people buying meat with Guo Jinyi's hands moving a nonstop and Xiao Xia,by the side being a little helper
"Sister hwa" the little guy stretched out his palms to sun hwa who casually handed him another slice as well as a piece of banana
Which he sat and begun to slowly eat, while watching the dense crowd dwindle quickly
After the good sales Guo Jinyi tallied out 140 yuan in cash for Sun hwa who then proceeded to share 10 pounds each of bear meat and innards to both families
"This...." Guo Jinyi frowned "can't accept this, already ate four buns" Dazhuang firmly declined but sun hwa pushed the bowl of meat into Xiao Xia's arms
"You won't take my money so at least take that, it's the least I can do for helping me so much" sun hwa gave a small reassuring smile, with no choice left
Both families accepted the meat and headed back home, while sun hwa stored all she bought handed the little guy a white rabbit milk candy then she begun to preserve the meat with salt
After which she made a quick wild boar stir fry with a bowl of rice and blanched flavored vegetables. The little guy ate one large brown and sun hwa ate half a bone before proceeding to wash the new clothes, hang them and then she had herself a cool bath
