Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 37

Lin Xiaoqiao smiled helplessly. It seemed that she and this family really didn't get along well.

Regarding Zhou's actions and her disgusting attitude towards the two sisters, she only felt helpless and angry in her heart, but she was not at all sad, and she didn't feel sad at all...

So, old man Li drove an ox cart and took his four grandchildren with him, gradually out of the Li family's sight.

They circled around from the back of the village and arrived at the top of the mountain in Shanglin Village. According to the plan that had been discussed earlier, a group of five people picked up prickly balls on the mountain.

The five of them kept busy on the mountain until the sun went down, and it was almost dark before they each got into the car and rushed to grandma's house.Since the two brothers Dalang and Erlang were very familiar with the mountain top, they found the prickly ball tree easily. They didn't even eat lunch, so they started working in full swing.Therefore, today's harvest is not small, and nearly ten bags of prickly balls were picked up at once. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at it and reckoned that it was about a thousand catties.

Old man Li drove the ox cart to Xiaowan Village. The people in the village were smoking straight up, and it was time for dinner.Lin Xiaoqiao touched his shriveled stomach, smelling the smell of food coming from the house, he became more and more hungry.

When the five of them arrived at the small courtyard of the Li family, Mrs. Sun was also busy in the kitchen, hooking her head from time to time to see what was going on outside.

Seeing the cooking smoke rising from the roof of Li's house, the four villains jumped out of the bullock cart before the car stopped, and went straight to the kitchen to ask grandma for some food.

Seeing that the two eldest grandsons also came, Mrs. Sun let alone the joy in her heart.The dinner was already ready, but thinking that it was rare for the two grandsons to come over after such a long time, Mrs. Sun persisted and cooked two meat dishes, one braised fish in soy sauce, and the other roasted pork with chestnuts.

In the evening, two more people were added to the Li family's dining table. At the same time, the lively atmosphere in the Li family's hall also increased.

After dinner, seeing everyone's obviously tired faces, Mrs. Sun hurriedly arranged for everyone to wash and rest.

Sun arranged for Dalang and Erlang brothers to live temporarily in the house of the Li sisters before they got married.

The next day, old man Li still took his four brothers and sisters to secretly pick up prickly balls from the top of the mountain in Shanglin Village. They were still busy going back at sunset, and finally got together more than 4000 catties of Fuguo'er.

In the next two days, the members of the Li family and the four brothers and sisters of the Lin family rushed to work and deal with the prickly balls, and all of them were exhausted with backaches.After four days of busy work, all the Fuguo'er were transported to Yunlai Restaurant as agreed, and the delivery was completed.Shopkeeper Zhou of Yunlai Restaurant also followed the contract and paid the rest of the payment - 350 taels of silver.

One night after everything was done and everyone had enough rest, everyone was about to leave after dinner, but Mrs. Sun hurriedly called everyone to stop.Then, he took out a small wooden box from the room and carefully placed it on the table.

Everyone looked at Li Shi's actions, and they were a little dazed. They didn't know what she was doing?

Therefore, Li Erhu, who was more impatient, asked first: "Mother, what are you doing? What kind of treasure is in this box?"

Mrs. Sun looked at the crowd without saying a word, then opened the box, and saw a silver light flashing inside the wooden box, and there were neatly stacked silver coins inside.Everyone was very happy to see so much white and shiny silver, but they didn't understand why Mrs. Sun wanted to take out the money.

Without waiting for them to ask questions, Mrs. Sun said with a trace of sadness: "Today, let's discuss and discuss, what should we do with the money? Thinking about the money in my house, I can't sleep every day. "

Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help laughing "puchi" when he heard this, this grandma is really funny, there's no reason why she can't sleep if she keeps money at home.

So, she smiled and said to Sun: "Grandma, just such a small matter has made you so worried. What else can I do with this money? Didn't you always think about finding a wife for my little uncle?" Well, now use this money to marry my little uncle a wife."

Everyone was happy after listening, and they all laughed, and looked at their little uncle Li Erhu with quite amused eyes.

Li Erhu felt uncomfortable being watched by everyone, his face was flushed as if he was drunk.After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's words, Mrs. Sun became more and more worried, and said, "But... it doesn't take so much money to marry a wife. The money is always kept in our house, and I feel nervous all day long. Yes, don't be steadfast. Tell me, what should I do?"

After hearing this, everyone didn't speak.Lin Xiaoqiao thought for a while, and said: "Since grandma is worried about keeping such money at home, let's spend it. I think we can build a house and buy land. What are you doing, as long as this money Is it worth the money? Do you think it makes sense?"

After hearing this, old man Li nodded first, and said: "I think what girl Xiaoqiao said is right, why don't we spend the money and buy more fields. In this case, the money is worth it, old lady You don’t have to talk about it all day long.”

Mrs. Sun was a little embarrassed when she heard old man Li making fun of her in front of the younger generation. She glanced at him and said angrily, "You old man, who are you talking about? You don't look at these money to sleep, Of course I slept peacefully."

The four Lin Xiaoqiao brothers and sisters all covered their mouths and snickered when they heard this. They all felt that their grandparents were getting cuter.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought about those Fuguoer, and felt that it would be best to buy the mountain top, so he discussed and asked: "Grandpa, why don't we buy that mountain top, so that all the things on the mountain are ours?" Well, there is no need to worry that others will know about Fu Guoer."

Old man Li listened, thought for a while, and then said: "This is a good idea, but the mountain looks quite big, if you want to buy it all, you have to spend at least 800 taels." Silver. We only have about 400 taels of silver on hand now, which is definitely not enough.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao felt very regretful in his heart, so he could only sigh: It seems that the money earned will never be enough to spend, and I still have to work hard.It is true that the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
Buying the top of the mountain has been listed as a temporarily unrealizable plan, so she thought about it again and said, "Why don't we build a house, a bigger and stronger house, and then buy some fields .With these family properties, will it be easier for my little uncle to marry a daughter-in-law in the future?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun agreed, nodded and said, "I think this method is feasible. Let's build the house first. Our house has been lived in for some years. After building the house, we will buy some fields." , In this case, you don't have to worry about it in the days to come."
