Chapter Fifty-Seven: I Still Want Silver

Shen Chengyao's three fathers and sons were in a trance and smirking all night, and Liu couldn't help it after dinner, "What's wrong with you?

Jing Hao heard this and hugged Liu, "Mother, you are so powerful!"

Liu Shi was inexplicable and looked at Xiao'er, "Xiao'er, what's wrong with them?"

"Isn't it just the silver!" Xiao'er shrugged, unconcerned. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two brothers were angry with her attitude, "Mother, we picked up a lot of silver today! ”

"What, you really picked up the silver? How much have you picked up? We can't do such immoral things, other people's silver is not blown by the wind, we have to hand over the silver to the government!" She was also joking casually, she didn't expect to really pick up the silver, and it was going to be sent, so how much silver would have to be picked up to say this, if you were bold enough to be greedy for the silver, she might get into trouble for herself.

"Mother, don't worry, it's not what you think. Xiao'er took out the pearl she "picked up" today and put it on the kang.

Liu Shi saw all kinds of pearls of all colors on the navy blue cotton cloth, and his eyes almost bulged out, "This, these beads are picked up, these things are very valuable at a glance, they must be only available to rich and noble families, we have to hand it over to the government quickly, otherwise it will be miserable if it is misunderstood that we stole it!"

"No, my child, this is the mussel we fished out of the river today, and it wasn't lost by anyone. ”

"Yes, my mother was fished out of the river with my father. ”

Jing Hao told the story of this afternoon as it was, and Liu was relieved when she heard it, and then she also began to feel like she was walking in the clouds.

Xiao'er decided to make them even happier, she went back to her room, dragged the bag of herbs over, and then took out the ginseng from inside, "Dad, mother, I went up the mountain today and found a ginseng. ”

The family was stunned when they looked at the already human-shaped ginseng in Xiao'er's hand, they had never seen ginseng, but when they saw this human-shaped radish with a long beard, they all thought it must be ginseng.

Shen Chengyao thought about how he hadn't touched ginseng once when he had gone up the mountain so many times, wait, go up the mountain?" "Xiao'er, have you gone up the mountain by yourself?" Shen Chengyao said that his tone became more and more serious, and his expression became more and more serious.

"No, I went to dig in the unlucky woods that my brother said. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shi hurriedly pulled Xiao'er over and looked her up and down, "You girl, where are you going, what are you doing, the people in the village don't dare to go!

"Didn't I say you couldn't go, why are you still going!" Jing Rui was also angry.

"Sister, why are you so disobedient!" Jing Hao also felt that she was too bold.

"Dad, mother, brother, brother, listen to me, my master told me a kind of tree, that is he has seen overseas, called rubber tree, the thing that flows out of the tree is called latex, very useful, the rubber made of latex can be made into a lot of things, just like the sole of the rubber sole is waterproof, and the cup made of rubber can not be broken, I planned to dig a well for our wasteland and then install a water pump on the well, the pump also needs a rubber sealing ring, rubber can also be made into various toys, in short, it is very versatile, but I don't know if it can be made. She was very moved in her heart, Shen Chengyao and Liu were not carried away by the huge money, they were worried about her safety when they thought of her going up the mountain, and even the excitement just now was gone, only the concern for themselves remained, and it was enough to get this parents and brothers.

"That thing is so useful, then it can't be said to be unlucky, it should be a treasure tree. Jing Hao sighed.

"Third uncle, is the third aunt asleep?" came a knock from Shen Jingwen outside the door. Jing Hao heard the voice and hurriedly wrapped up the pearls on the kang and hid them in the cabinet, and Jing Rui also put the ginseng in the cabinet. Shen Chengyao and Liu looked at the two brothers funny, "Not yet, wait for the third aunt to open the door." ”

"No need, it was the master who told you to go to the upper room. After speaking, Shen Jingwen went back to the upper room.

Liu and Shen Chengyao listened and asked the children to go to bed early, and the two of them went to the upper room.

Xiao'er wanted to hear what Old Man Shen had to say, "I'll go with my father." ”

The two brothers also followed, and the family went to the upper room together, Jing Hao entered the upper room and saw Old Man Shen and asked, "Master, is the fish delicious tonight?" Is the fish fresh?"

Old Man Shen was a lot happier when he heard this, "That fish was caught by Jing Hao, no wonder it is so delicious, Master knows that you are all filial, and if you have good things, you will not forget your father and your grandmother."

Old Man Shen pointed to the stool under the kang, "Sit down, I'm quite tired after a day's work." ”

On the kang in the upper room, except for the big room and Shen Yuzhu, who can sit casually, no one else has ever sat once.

After Shen Chengyao and the Liu family sat down, Old Man Shen asked, "I heard that you bought the mountains at the head of the village and the two barren mountains. ”

Shen Chengyao nodded, "Didn't I tell my father last night, I bought some wasteland to build a house." ”

"Nonsense, do you have money and nowhere to spend it? Old Man Shen reprimanded.

He has been planting the land for decades, and he is relatively familiar with the land, those wastelands, barren mountains for ten or eight years, I don't know if they have been fattened, they can't grow anything at all, and there must be more grass than crops. Even weeding is enough for him to annoy.

"As for water, you can drink from the back of the mountain or dig a few wells. ”

"If you can really divert water from the back of the mountain, the ancestors in this village will have already led it, where can it become a wasteland! Dig a well for three taels of silver, how many wells do you have to dig to reach such a large area! You don't have silver and nowhere to spend it!" Old man Shen was even more angry when he heard Shen Chengyao's words, and he blew his beard and glared. He heard everyone in the village say that Shen Chengyao was a fool!

Xiao'er saw that Old Man Shen still wanted to scold, and hurriedly stopped Old Man Shen, "Master, now that the land has been bought, our father and mother also want more land to prevent our brothers and sisters from starving, but the silver is not enough, so we can only buy some wasteland." ”

Old Man Shen didn't continue to talk about the wasteland when he heard this, "You also know that the third child has already been married, and she will be married in the coming year. And today I paid forty taels of silver to go out, it's really clumsy, if you have loose money, just help your eldest brother. ”

"Master, my family just invited someone to open up the wasteland, and I want to prepare to build a house, this silver is also in short supply, after the beginning of the spring, I want to send my brother and younger brother to the school, our family is also worried about the lack of silver, thinking of asking the uncle to borrow some first. ”

Shen Zhuangshi glared at Xiao'er, "Now you don't have a house to live in, what's the matter?" The silver is not enough, don't build the house, give the silver to your eldest brother's family in case of emergency, not everyone can read books, waste that silver in vain, it is only right to give that silver to Wen'er for the exam." ”

Xiao'er was furious when she heard this, it turned out that it was not right for her family's silver to be spent on her own body, the more angry she was, the more calm she became, "The gold hairpin on Sister Bao'er's head is so beautiful, and the silver bracelet on her hand is also very exquisite, I haven't seen Sister Lobby wear it before, is it a new purchase?"

"Of course, this golden hairpin is a new style of Jinyutang, and it costs ten taels of silver. I also have one, which was given by Boa. Shen Yuzhu couldn't help but straighten her waist when she heard this, and raised her head, indicating that she also had one.

Shen Bao'er said badly in her heart, and secretly gave Shen Yuzhu a look, but unfortunately Shen Yuzhu didn't see it.

Xiao'er sneered in her heart, she was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but only pig-like teammates. "Yesterday I saw that the lobby sister's golden hairpin was different from today's, and it was also newly bought?"

"That's last month's style, and I have to pay eight taels of silver a piece, you have a country mud leg, what do you know, Bao'er almost every time I get a new trick, I go to buy one home, and I'm about the same. ”

"My sister-in-law and my sister are really rich. For so many years, my mother has been wearing just a wooden hairpin. "The people present, except for Shen Yuzhu, who realized it later, everyone else changed their faces.

Shen Chengyao also stood up when he heard this, "Dad, my family has been short of money recently, and this girl's family doesn't need to buy new jewelry every month, this money should be enough for the eldest brother's family, in the final analysis, we are just cultivating and reading others." Then he pulled Xiao'er and said to Liu, "Let's go, Ming'er has to get up early to open up the wasteland." ”

"Dad, mother, let's go back to sleep. Rui'er Hao'er, you also go back and go to bed early. After Liu finished speaking, he followed Shen Chengyao and left.

Shen Yuzhu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and glanced at Shen Bao'er apologetically.
