The story of a noble girl

Chapter 17 Rhubarb was given away by me

On the way back, Lin Xiaoning thought: Aunt Zhang’s family is suffering enough, they really need to find a way out, and there are more than half of the women and children in the refugees, they have to find a way out together, women farming, After all, their physical strength is not as good as that of a man, otherwise they would have to be raised in vain for a year, and the family would not be able to bear it.

When washing Xiaobao at night, Xiaobao took the initiative to sip on Lin Xiaoning's wet face, which made Lin Xiaoning very happy.

Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong also returned, and the three of them went to Mr. Lin's room to check the books.

Lin Xiaoning said hesitantly: "Grandpa, big brother, rhubarb, I gave away rhubarb."

"Give it away?" Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong looked surprised.

"Well, grandpa, today I brought rhubarb into the mountain, and rhubarb saved a man, and that man was either rich or expensive. I am grateful for the life-saving grace of rhubarb. If I want to buy rhubarb, I am not willing to sell it. I just want that man to treat rhubarb well. Just give it to him for nothing."

"Oh, but how could Rhubarb go with that man so easily, our family has raised him for five years."

Lin Xiaoning became angry when he heard it: "Grandpa, don't mention the rhubarb, the man was injured and couldn't move. He ate the milk of rhubarb for two days. I said why the rhubarb was so edible in the past two days, and he sucked it all up." Now, Dahuang regards him as his son, and he has to go with him, and I can’t even call him back, so I thought about not wanting money, and let that person treat him well.”

Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong laughed out loud when they heard this, tears came out.Mr. Lin said: "The rhubarb is destined to be with that noble man, so if you give it away, you will give it away. It's just that the man is injured, how can you take the rhubarb away?"

"The men are here to look for him." Lin Xiaoning simply took it.

"This mountain is so deep, why did you come here?" Lin Jiadong asked.

"Who knows, let's not guess about these powerful people, grandpa, brother, let's take a look at the account book."

Seeing that the money on the ledger was being spent like running water, Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong had never spent money like this in their entire lives, and their faces twitched in pain.

Wood doesn’t cost money, soil doesn’t cost money, adobe can be cut by yourself, it doesn’t matter if it’s slower, but clothes, cloth and cotton cost money, and food costs money. Now all I do is physical work, I eat a lot, and I also put meat every now and then, and meat sometimes goes up the mountain Go to fight, save some money, the house needs to have some simple furniture, at least there must be a box, a table and chairs, a washbasin or something...

After the autumn harvest, we have to consider cotton clothes again. Cotton is so precious now that a catty of cotton is worth seven or eight catties of rice.

"Girl, is our stall too big? It's a waste of money." Mr. Lin asked with a frown.

Lin Xiaoning thought about the precious medicinal materials picked in the space this afternoon, and he had a little confidence in his heart, and said, "It's okay, as long as you open the land, raise it for one year, and you can get back the money in the second year. The current money is enough to support these people for a year." No problem at all, I will still think of ways to let those women and children have a way to get money; also, grandpa, we are now landlords, and it is not enough to just be able to do arithmetic. From tomorrow onwards, the elder brother and the younger It is so fragrant that I learn Chinese characters with me for an hour every night; also, Xiaobao will be able to take medicine after a while, and it is estimated that he will be cured by the beginning of spring. At that time, Xiaobao will enter school, which is a big deal. As a landlord, if Xiaobao can take the imperial examination and get a half-job, then our family will be a member of the official family."

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong's bodies shook.

It took a long time for Mr. Lin to come back to his senses, with tears in his eyes, he said repeatedly: "That's right, that's the reason, that's the reason, if our Lin family can really be an official, I, the old man, can be regarded as worthy of it." The Lin family has a long line of ancestors."

"Grandpa, don't be so excited. It will happen sooner or later. By the way, I will go to the county with my elder brother in two days. We have to buy a horse. Now our family has a large population and we often go to the city. The road to the county is too difficult Let’s go, it’s too time-consuming to rely on an ox cart, but it’s much easier to have a horse cart, and you’ll give the silver to the eldest brother later, and bring Wang Gang with you when you go, he knows how to deal with horses.”

That night, thinking about Lin Xiaoning's words, Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong were so excited that they tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Will the Lin family ever be an official?

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ During the period, the men were shirtless, sweating, and bent over to work, the women brought water and food, and the children ran around like mud monkeys.Taocun is thriving.

Wang Yong harvested the crops in Aunt Zhang's one-acre field. He moved as nimbly as if he was flying in the field. In less than half a day, the harvest was over. The big girl and the young daughter-in-law who delivered food and water in the neighboring fields looked at the shirtless Wang Yong, blushing and shy bowed his head.Aunt Zhang smiled without disturbing her mouth: how can a man harvest crops so beautifully? This little man is attractive and strong, and he doesn't have a daughter. Otherwise, how beautiful is such a man as a son-in-law Angry.

On the 1000-acre land of the Lin family, mud piles were piled up in several piles, and rows of adobes were laid out to dry on the ground, and the foundation was being dug. These refugees had only been in Taocun for [-] days. Seeing that their waists were strong, There is flesh on the face and hope in the eyes.

Old men and dolls go up the mountain to collect firewood in groups, old women boil water, cook, and do laundry. Young and strong men and women are always working. Mr. Lin and Lin Jiadong have not stopped their hands and feet. The hailstorm in the sky can't stop.After Lin Xiaoning came back from picking the precious medicinal materials that afternoon, he carefully planted each medicinal material in the space at night.As for the fact that Wangzai knows the way but she doesn't know it, Lin Xiaoning doesn't bother anymore, because when she questioned Wangzai, Wangzai looked aggrieved, and Lin Xiaoning realized that although Wangzai could understand, he couldn't speak. He would shake his head and nod, but he never asked him how he knew.

Lin Xiaoning is now a rice worm through and through, and doesn't even look at the account book, and completely leaves it to the elder brother and grandpa. The elder brother is the elder brother, and should be the housekeeper. He will be the mayor of the town in the future. It's time to warm up.Lin Xiaoning was thinking about his grand ideals, and he was justifiably lazy. Apart from being a medicine farmer in the space, he slept with Wangzai.The daily task is to fill the water tank at home with space water, use the space water to irrigate the vegetable field, and then teach elder brother and Xiaoxiang how to read at night.Little Treasure and Grandpa always listened attentively by the side, holding a sand table and drawing with branches.The sand table was conceived by Lin Xiaoning. In the early stage of literacy, you can use the sand table and save some paper, which is expensive in this era.

Newcomers are looking for collections and recommendations.
