Yoyo Farming

Chapter 169

Fu Niu and her fourth uncle came back together, and it was Ling Mo who called out: "Please, fourth uncle, sit in your room for a while. If you want to write an IOU, you can write it." I guessed the meaning, and I can’t write well with a brush. I wrote it once for my notes. Except I dared to show it to myself, no one else dared to read it, for fear that others would crawl on the paper like a caterpillar.

In Ling Mo's house, there are also pens, inks, papers and inkstones that he bought by himself, and they are in the medicine pocket. Others who practice medicine in the countryside don't know pens, inks, papers, and inkstones at home. If they want to write prescriptions for people to grab medicines, they will be prepared by themselves.Now I took them out, wrote an IOU, blew it dry with my mouth, read it again, and handed it over to my fourth uncle.

The fourth uncle only knows numbers, 120 taels of silver, and nothing else. Think about it, Fu Niu can't lie to people, otherwise why would you need to borrow money, so you stamped two IOUs with your fingerprints and handed one to Fu Niu. Niu was grateful: "Although you said you don't want the interest money, and it wasn't written on it, I will still give you the money at the interest rate of others."

Fu Niu took it and put it on the small table and shook her head: "Fourth Uncle, I said that you don't want to pay interest, that is, you don't want to pay interest. Tomorrow, you should ask someone to check it in person before giving the money to that person."

Once again, the fourth uncle, who was about to burst into tears, walked out with a plan in mind, to save money and pay back Fu Niu's money first, and then pay Fu Niu's interest. There is no reason to borrow money without charging interest.

Fu Niu sent the IOU to Youshuan to give to Youshuan. Seeing Xiaoju's little face with a joyful smile, she was studying ink for Youshuan in a fawning manner. Fu Niu asked Youshuan to put away the IOU, and then went to the stove house Come here to find food, no matter how hungry you are, you will not be able to walk.

Fortunately, there is a good prep, and the food is steamed in a big pot. Even though the fire under the stove is turned off, it is still hot.Fu Niu couldn't wait to take it out and eat it. She brought it out and put it on the stove and ate it. After eating two big steamed buns in a row, she felt better in her stomach. When she was not hungry, she thought of Lu Changsheng in her heart. I went back to Beijing, otherwise, I should be able to help.

Ling Mo finished his own meal, brought back the bowl, and handed the two bank notes to Fu Niu with the other hand: "Remember to take care of the Chinese New Year, don't make it too shabby."

Fu Niu, who was empty in her bag, saw the silver bill at this time, her eyes lit up, she took it in her hand unceremoniously, and said to Ling Mo first: "It's all about your bacon during the Chinese New Year." Then she looked into the yard, Standing in the stove house, of course he couldn't see Xiao Hei in the backyard: "Just now I wanted to slaughter Xiao Hei, and sell half of the pork to the butcher, maybe I can get some money."

Fu Niu took a look at the bank notes, and found that the denomination was two pieces of ten taels, which was 20 taels, which was enough for the Chinese New Year, but if there were cattle to be sold in these few months, there was no need to think about it.Look outside and the sky is cloudy again. The past few days have been snowing and cloudy for a while. Fu Niu tried her best to use her head. What else is there in the mountains? Fishing?It was too cold, and there were ice floes in the water, so it was not easy to launch bamboo rafts or cast fishing nets.

Picking wild fruits, maybe there are still some in the warm woods, just looking for them. Thinking about it this way, Fu Niu dropped the vegetable bowl, holding half a steamed bun in her hand, and still went to ask Ling Mo: "What herbs can be picked in winter?" ?”

Ling Mo could only "quack" and lowered his face, didn't he just give you 20 taels of silver, because he was afraid that you would have no money for the year, so he wronged him.This girl came up without any hesitation.

Seeing Ling Mo's cold face, Fu Niu took a step back, and saw that her face was still pulled, and she stepped back out of the wing door, so she could only turn around and go to the stove to continue eating, and take a look at what Ling Mo had just eaten. Throwing her bowl on the stove, it was taken for granted that Fu Niu would not let Ling Mo wash the dishes today.

On such a cold day, Fu Niu added firewood to boil hot water to wash the pots and dishes. There was a knock on the courtyard door, and it was the fourth aunt who came to deliver food.The fourth aunt asked Xiaoju to spend the night at Fu Niu's house, and she went back to eat.Fu Niu said no, an extra bite at home would be enough for Xiaoju to eat.

The fourth aunt sent steamed buns every day, and she also meant not to take advantage of Fu Niu's family.Yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was Xiaoju who took it. Today, Fu Niu refused to accept it again, and said to the fourth aunt, "Fourth aunt, take it back. I still have something to discuss with the fourth aunt."

"What's the matter, just talk about it." The fourth aunt hurriedly said with a few steamed buns in her hand.Fu Niu let her fourth aunt into the stove to keep warm, and then she said, "I'm going to go to the mountain to hunt wild fruits, and let Xiaoju go with me."

Now is the slack season, Xiaoju is so young, she can't go to the market to sell peanuts, Fu Niu should do what she wants, go to the mountains and forests where she can go, and take Xiaoju with her.

The fourth aunt wept again, and said to Fu Niu: "I don't know how to be grateful to you." Fu Niu replied with what she heard from You Shuan: "I used to help us eat by mouthful." It was You Shuan who said it. You Shuan would remember everything that was given to You Shuan.

The grateful fourth aunt re-entered and told Xiaoju to be obedient. As soon as she entered the inner room, she felt that the room was as warm as a firewood stove.Look at Xiaoju on the kang, her face is flushed, she doesn't seem to feel cold at all, sitting at the table on the kang, looking at someone writing, and asking next to her: "Is this a three?"

"Xiaoju, don't interrupt, there is a bolt for writing." The fourth aunt sat down on the kang, her tentacles were warm first, and then she knew that the kang was also burning during the day.Looking at Youshuan, who was sitting on the kang and writing, wearing a big padded jacket, the fourth aunt was also happy for Youshuan and Funiu, it was only comfortable to live in winter like this.

I told Xiaoju to listen to Fu Niu's words, and then said to Fu Niu: "You need firewood to burn the kang in this house. You go to the mountain and bring Xiaoju, and help you carry some firewood back. Seeing that she is here with you, it's a good idea." It’s more comfortable than being at home.”

The happiest was Xiaoju, who pulled Fu Niu and asked, "Will you take me into the mountains? I can carry firewood back, and I can carry things back."

Fu Niu has calculated Xiaoju's productivity. If there are wild fruits, adults can earn hundreds of dollars a day, and Xiaoju will always have a hundred dollars. It's just that if you go now, you may not be able to find them. It will take time to find wild fruits, and you can only recite a few. Root firewood back.I have to think about it with Fu Niu, who is a child laborer. Xiaoju can't go to Lu's house, so she can only help this.

Youshuan helped out with an idea: "Xiaoju is big now, she can hold embroidery needles and embroider." This is another good idea, and even the fourth aunt thinks it is good, boasting Youshuan: "After all, she can read and write." People, all ideas are good.” People who can read are full of ink when they spit, just like rich people stamp their feet louder than poor people.
