"The child's father, are you kidding me?" Ke Zhong disapproved of Ke Shuisheng's actions.

"Mother, Xueer is doing this for our family. We should support her. Think about it, what was our family like a few months ago, and what is it like now? Our family can have what it is today. Because Xueer gave us an idea, I thought, even if the method of making money that Xueer said this time really doesn’t work and loses money, don’t our family still have cattle? At worst, I will pull another year or a half. The car will pay off the debt."

Ke Shuisheng looked at Ke Zhong, and said: "One more thing, let's think better, if Xue'er really makes money this time, then we can not only pay off the debt, but also save Xue'er's dowry. .”

Ke Shuisheng's idea of ​​saving a dowry for his daughter came after he heard the quarrel between Ke Xisheng and Ke Yushi. He'er didn't even have a husband's family yet, so Ke Yushi knew that he would save a dowry for her, and his daughter had already made an appointment. , this dowry deposit is even more imminent.

After listening to Ke Shuisheng's words, Ke Hanxue was both helpless and moved. It's really rare for a big man like her father to think of saving a dowry for herself. The helpless thing is that she might disappoint her father, because she didn't plan to marry so early at all. people.

Ke Shuisheng's words made Ke Zhong bow her head and ponder. She was thinking of saving the dowry for her daughter after the family's debts were paid off. Another thing is that her family's existence today is indeed because of Xueer. If it weren't for her, she and the child His father didn't even dare to think that his family would be able to buy cattle one day, and thinking about how tired his daughter was from working on rice these days, Ke Zhong's heart suddenly ached.

"Okay, since Xue'er thinks it's okay to try, let's try it, at worst, let's go back to the old days." Ke Zhongshi finally let go.

"Father, mother, don't worry, I said that I will let you live a good life, and I will definitely do it!" Ke Hanxue said sonorously, with incomparable confidence in her watery eyes.

The next day, Ke Hanxue did not go to town with Ke Shuisheng, but went to the rice field.

Although the uncle and the big cousin are novices, the planted seedlings have come back to life, which surprised Ke Hanxue. Originally, she had kept some seedlings for supplementary planting, but this time it was saved. .

The rice is alive, and Ke Hanxue plans to start top-dressing the rice in a few days. The cow dung collected by her father this month plus the dung in the latrine is barely enough, right?

In the evening, as soon as Ke Shuisheng came back, he called Ke Hanxue into the house, then handed over one tael of broken silver and a few hundred pennies to her, and said, "Your uncle doesn't have a few hundred pennies left. The manager and the people who worked together in the dyeing house borrowed it, a total of two taels, and I will return it to them when I make money pulling the ox cart."

Ke Hanxue tightly held the money in his hand, nodded: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely earn the money back."

If the money was my uncle's own, Ke Hanxue would not be under so much pressure, but since he borrowed it from his colleagues, Ke Hanxue felt heavy and the pressure increased.

In the evening, Ke Zhong took out all the money from the family and handed it over to Ke Hanxue.

Ke Hanxue counted, and only took three taels and one hundred coins in change, and kept the remaining few hundred coins for emergencies at home.

Yesterday she went to the pottery shop and asked, the big wine jars cost only a few pennies each, and the small jars only cost a penny each, more than a hundred pennies.

These five taels can also buy five hundred catties of wine. One wine tank here can hold fifty catties of wine, and there are ten wine tanks for five hundred catties. I don’t know if it can fit in her room. Ke Hanxue pondering.

With money, of course, is to buy wine.

When the shopkeeper of Fulin Restaurant saw Ke Hanxue again, he was stunned at first, and then greeted her with a smile. It seemed that the girl was not joking.

"Girl, have you decided how much wine to buy this time?"

"Shopkeeper, it's decided." Ke Hanxue smiled.

"How much does the girl want?" Seeing that Ke Hanxue didn't lie to herself this time, the shopkeeper immediately smiled.

"Five hundred catties!"

"What?!" The shopkeeper was taken aback, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Five hundred catties!" Ke Hanxue repeated again with a smile.

"Five...five hundred catties?" The shopkeeper stuttered, staring at Ke Hanxue with wide eyes. He has taken over the restaurant for two years and has never done such a large order. Although the price is not big, it is scary. ah!
"Shopkeeper, you heard me right. I want five hundred catties. According to the price we agreed two days ago, I brought all the money!" Ke Hanxue said funny, and then put the five taels of silver together with the money bag Gave it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the money bag with a dull expression, and asked again: "Little girl, do you... really want so much?"

"The shopkeeper, I gave you all the money, how many times do you have to ask?" Ke Hanxue said angrily and funny.

Ke Hanxue's joking voice made the shopkeeper's face blush, and he coughed uncomfortably. He hasn't lost his composure in a long time.

The shopkeeper stabilized his mind, and the smile returned to his face: "Little girl, our restaurant doesn't have enough five hundred catties for the wine you want. We have to go to the wine cellar to move it. Do you have to wait or do you want us to help you?" You take it home?"

"Shopkeeper, I'll leave you a place to stay. You can take me home tomorrow morning." Ke Hanxue said.

"Okay, tell me, let me remember." The shopkeeper said and led Ke Hanxue to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, I live in Shuihe Village, and my father's name is Ke Shuisheng, don't forget me wrong."

"You live in Shuihe Village?" The shopkeeper stopped holding the pen and raised his head in surprise.

"The shopkeeper knows about Shuihe Village?"

"Oh, I've heard of it." The shopkeeper sneered and lowered his head to write down Ke Hanxue's address.

"By the way, shopkeeper, I bought so much wine, did you even give me the wine tank?" Ke Hanxue smiled flatteringly.

"That's impossible! A wine jar costs several pennies! The wine has been sold to you cheaply, and this wine jar must never be given to you again." The shopkeeper refused without even thinking about it. This girl is really greedy. The shopkeeper slandered dissatisfied in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, you are too stingy!" Ke Hanxue pouted: "I bought your five hundred catties of wine in one go, and you are still asking me for these few pennies!"

"God, you girl can really say that, even if you don't even think about it, I'll charge you a total of five taels of silver and send it to your home. Now you still want my wine jar, how can there be such a thing!"

The shopkeeper almost vomited three liters of blood after listening to Ke Hanxue's words. How much money did he make her, and she asked him to paste the wine tank.

"Shopkeeper, don't think that I don't know that you have door-to-door deliveries. Do you still want to count the car fare with me?"
