Chapter 24: The Heart of a Parent
Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and saw the old man Sun on the opposite side walking through the alley. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info saw that it was him who came, so he smiled. If those good people came over, Su Zhengqing would definitely have no good face.
"The door of your courtyard is not closed, and I can't help but come in." Old man Sun looked calm and said, "But when I came in, I helped you bolt the courtyard door, and I knew you were coming back." ā
"Thank you, Uncle Sun." Su Zhengqing hugged his fists and thanked him with a smile, and glanced at Su Changning and the little sister again, "You guys just ran over with yourself?" ā
"I really forgot ......" Su Changning scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
The little sister stuck out her tongue directly, and then ran to the back door, Su Lihua also shouted: "I'll close the door!" ā
"......" Everyone was speechless for a while, they didn't listen to Grandpa Sun at all!
There are a lot of children to do, and everyone will ignore them when they come to their senses. Old man Sun also stood by the gate, looking at the sheep that began to graze after becoming familiar with the environment, and asked Su Zhengqing the price.
After all, only Li Si's family raised sheep in the village, and some people had asked about the price of sheep before, and no one was embarrassed to ask about it after knowing that they couldn't afford it. Therefore, in addition to selling the sheep to the butchers in the town, the sheep of the Li Si family have always been bred by themselves.
Finally, someone bought sheep, and it was still Su Zhengqing's family, who was close to his family, so Old Man Sun dared to boldly go to the backyard to ask about the price and the reason for raising sheep.
If these words are left aside, the Su family will definitely not be happy, if those women come to ask before, I am afraid that the Su Lin family has already scolded.
But Old Man Sun was different, and Su Zhengqing hurriedly explained.
However, Su Fang was afraid that her father would talk too much, and Grandpa Sun would not have much to do, but this matter would always get out, and in the future, the people in the village would say that the Su family was a nouveau riche, so she immediately added that she bought the four sheep and the two smaller ones with her body silver.
"I'll just tell Grandpa Sun about this, if it's someone else, I don't want to say it, after all, it's a matter of silver." Su Fang explained very obediently.
"My father and mother want to give me thirty taels of silver, and I only take the silver to the Lin family to shelf, Brother Tianming can hunt and farm, I don't worry about the future at all, so I just want to buy a few sheep."
"At that time, I can not only milk some goats to supplement my younger siblings, but also give birth to a few lambs to sell for money. Isn't it better than sitting on silver? And it doesn't take thirty taels. ā
"The eldest brother has twenty taels to marry a daughter-in-law, but Changning hasn't yet, so I want to keep the twenty taels I saved for him. I got these sheep and it was a good deal. ā
Su Fang explained with a smile, it was like pulling an abacus, and everyone was stunned when they heard it, especially their father and mother.
"Fang'er, aren't you ......" Su Lin came back to his senses and immediately wanted to ask, but he thought that Old Man Sun was still here, and he didn't know what this girl had in mind, so he was speechless in embarrassment for a while, just staring at Su Fang.
"Fang girl has a heart." Old man Sun didn't think much about it, just glanced at Su Fang with appreciation.
"This kid refused to ask for the thirty taels at the beginning, and instigated the family to buy sheep, but now the sheep have changed their minds after buying them, but it's really ......" Su Zhengqing complained heartbreakingly.
He just wanted Fang'er to bring more silver over, although Tianming could make money, but this was what he was afraid of.
Tianming's family has little land, and he is a hunter, and the prey is sold to the restaurant people in the town. Although he was not close to people in the village, he was a man who had seen the world.
Such an excellent man, just because of the dislike of the people in the village, can't talk about his daughter-in-law, otherwise it won't be his turn to be Fang'er.
If the dowry is not thick, he is afraid that Fang'er will be disliked if she goes to the Lin family in the future. He believes that Tianming will not dislike it, but will his mother? Will Uncle Lin be?
They all live in the same village, and everyone knows what kind of person the mother-in-law of the Lin family is. What kind of virtue is Uncle Lin? That's the same old thing.
When Tianming followed Sister Lin back to the village, he was directly rejected by his uncle's family, and it was the old village chief who was kind enough to build two thatched huts for them to live in on the hillside west of the village.
Later, Tianming grew up, and built two miscellaneous houses, this time the marriage is to demolish the miscellaneous houses and expand the land to build a new house, the attic is so big, as a treasury can put a lot of food and utensils.
The old village chief is no longer in charge now, but Tianming often sends some prey to honor him and thank him for his kindness back then. This is no secret in the village.
But this is the case, and it has attracted a lot of disgust from the Lin family's aunt. If Fang'er doesn't have enough money after passing the door, she can't be held and pinched. But this child did not understand the heart of his parents at all, and even wanted to keep the money and sheep at home.
Lin Zhengqing glanced at Lin Tianming, but he didn't say anything more. If his concerns were expressed in front of his future son-in-law, was he not complaining about the Lin family's family style?
Seeing that he was worried, it was Old Man Sun who persuaded him: "Don't worry about the child's affairs, this sheep is well raised, and new sheep will be added next year. ā
"That's why the old man said that Fang Yatou has a heart. She left the cash silver in her mother's house, but she can take the sheep as a body, which is not cold and can make money, now it is ten taels, and next year I am afraid that it will be sixteen or seven taels, and it will be earned back in three years. ā
Old man Sun didn't know that there were many places where sheep could make money, but from the price of sheep, he felt that this method was flexible and affordable, and it was indeed feasible, which also proved that Fang Yatou was a smart girl.
And he can imagine that at the latest, the next year, Fang Yatou will choose one or two lambs for her mother's family, and in the end, her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family will have both money and sheep.
"It's still Grandpa Sun who understands people, and my father hasn't turned this corner." After listening to Old Man Sun's analysis, Su Fang nodded and smiled.
Su Changning and Lin Tianming both stood aside and did not say a word, and they naturally thought of this layer in their hearts.
It's just that Su Changning is still a little helpless. They had already discussed that the family would buy three sheep with eight taels of silver, and Fang'er would only take two taels of silver to buy another lamb.
Put them together and raise them, waiting for the lambs to be born.
At that time, he proposed this under the premise that the thirty taels of silver were still Fang'er's body, but who knew that today the sheep entered the pen, and she changed her mind again.
This is not money, just raising. Thirty taels became ten taels, and he saved twenty taels and said in front of Grandpa Sun that he would leave it to Changning, but his father and mother just wanted to refuse, and they were embarrassed.
There are two of them, he divided twenty taels, and it is only natural that he will give twenty taels to Changning, even if it is passed out, no one can say anything gossip.
Old man Sun left after talking for a while, and he also had some calculations in his heart, if his family also bought a ewe and came back, and borrowed the Su family's ram to be inoculated, would he be able to add a lamb next year?
If next year it is a ram, and it is in its own house, if it is a ewe...... Not to mention three or five years, I'm afraid that in ten years, I will be able to fill the circle.
