Chapter 268

Song Xintong looked at the twins hand two general workmanship of lanterns, but also over the meaning of, "how do you two buy it?"

Dabao covered his face in shame.

Xiaobao also pursed his mouth and laughed, embarrassed to speak.

"What's the matter? I was so excited outside the door just now? How come I'm so embarrassed to come in? " Song Xintong asked curiously, "come on, are you two in trouble again?"

"No trouble." Xiaobao immediately opened his mouth and looked at Song Xintong calmly, "elder sister, don't care how we bought it. You have to keep your word. One hundred coppers. My brother and I each have fifty Wen."

Song Xintong put the lantern on the table: "I naturally mean what I say, but if you cheat, it can't count."

"No cheating, elder sister. If you don't believe me, you can ask elder sister Daya." Dabao pointed to Daya outside the house and said, "the boss took the initiative to sell it to us cheaply, really."

Song Xintong said, "then tell me what's going on."

"Well..." Dabao hesitated for a long time, then said: "yes... My brother and I went to the uncle's stall and stared at the lanterns for a long time. Uncle asked us if we wanted to buy them and sold them to us at a low price. But he heard that we had only ten Wen, and he didn't want two more. "

"And then?" Song Xintong knows that the wonderful is behind.

"Then..." Dabao looked at Xiaobao in embarrassment, "then Xiaobao and I held uncle's leg, one by one, and begged for a long time, then he sold it to us."

Finish saying to feel special embarrassed again, "elder sister, you don't scold us."

It sounds like there's nothing to blame. It's normal for people to see that they are cute and cheap. Song Xintong thinks about it and asks Daya, "is that so?"

Daya nodded, "that uncle is the one who opened the shop in front of him. His business is good tonight. He is in a good mood, so he sold it to the young master."

Song Xintong nodded, and then looked at the twins: "you can thank uncle."

"Yes." Big treasure should be there.

"Just say it." Song Xintong sank his voice, "but you also made a mistake, you know?"

"Well?" The twins looked at her in bewilderment.

"It's wrong to say that this time. In order to win money, you just hold people's legs. They are embarrassed to refuse you and sell it to you at a loss. This method can only be used this time. Next time, I won't beat you." Song Xintong sank and criticized: "do you know?"

"I see." Twins should be low, but song Xintong know Xiaobao heart is certainly not agree with, "in case of temper tantrums, look at you such a kick kick you how to do?"

Twins Leng for a moment, "he did not."

Song Xintong said with a straight face: "of course, he doesn't have it. People are kind-hearted and can't push you away. That's why they sell it to you. If you think about it, like us, they all work hard to make money. They just cost enough to sell you a lamp for ten Wen, and they sell it to you at a loss for five Wen. "

"It's just like the vermicelli we make. If we sell 20 Wen for one jin, it's just enough. If we sell 20 Wen for two Jin, it's a loss, you know? You see how hard uncle he worked to make vermicelli. If other people buy our vermicelli at such a low price, we will lose money, you know“

Twins so understand, they also go to help move sweet potato, work for a short time was very tired.

"So you can't do that in the future. If you can't buy it, you can't buy it, and you can't force it, you know? You can bargain. If they don't lose money, they will be willing to sell it to you, but they can't hold other people's legs. They have to sell it to you, you know? "

"I see." The twins nodded weakly.

"It can't be like this in the future." Song Xintong thought for a while and said, "also, do you think those aunts and uncles who sell vegetables on the roadside look very poor? If you go to buy vegetables in the future, as long as there is not too much difference, it doesn't matter if they weigh less for you. It doesn't matter if we give more than one or two Wen."

"Well, we know." Dabao nodded, "that time the old woman selling vegetables has gone, a little bit short of a Jin, but also by the aunt scolded."

"Yes, so we can't do this. As long as we don't deliberately cut our weight or cheat us, we have to forgive others and don't be aggressive, you know? Be kind. " Song Xintong heart bottom bah a, also don't know how to say here, "well, know should go to bed."

Dabao nodded and went out.

But Xiaobao didn't go away. Instead, he stretched out his hands and laughed so much that his eyes narrowed into a gap. "Sister, I'd like to accept defeat, and give you money!"

"Cheng, it's like I'll pit your money." Song Xintong took Lu Yunkai's purse and said, "so many coppers, what do you do if you drop them? I'll leave it for you, sister? "

"No." Xiao Bao shook his head. "We'll take it ourselves."

Song Xintong asked Dabao again: "Dabao doesn't want elder sister to put it for you, either?"

Dabao nodded. He wanted to buy some rare things with silver.

"All right." Song Xintong felt that he was the parent who cheated his children on the new year's red envelope. As a result, he didn't cheat them, so he could only give them a purse for 50 Wen. "Put it away, you know?"

"I know." Twins with precipitation of the small purse, happy mouth are not closed.

"Don't laugh. It's ugly to laugh without front teeth." As soon as song Xintong finished, the twins immediately covered their mouths and did not dare to show their front teeth.

Song Xintong scraped the tip of their nose, "go back to sleep, tomorrow morning we have to get up early to leave Lin County, don't get up at that time."

"Good." After the twins left, song Xintong put the purse into Lu Yunkai's clothes. "I think I can't teach the children any more. What should I do?"

"You teach very well." Lu Yunkai pulled the quilt over to cover song Xintong, "they also teach very well, very sensible."

"Dabao is sensible, but Xiaobao... He's very smart and smart. I'm worried that he will go wrong in the future." Song Xintong looked at the top of the tent, "it must be Xiaobao's idea to hold the boss's hand in this way. He also owes the boss's kindness. If he had changed his temper, he would have kicked them away."

"You're too worried. You're not seven years old. You don't think it well." Lu Yunkai is not very worried about twins. One is calm and the other is smart. They complement each other, supervise each other and depend on each other. As long as they are older, they will be fine.

Song Xintong sighed and said slowly, "I hope so."
