Chapter 021: Children Are Assertive
Lin Wan'er didn't expect to be able to exchange it for fifty taels of silver, and suddenly there was more of these silver at home, and she felt a little sudden for a while, and she didn't feel safe anywhere, and she always thought that someone was going to rob her of her silver.
Zhao Gan had a headache about this, and kept comforting Lin Wan'er: "It's just fifty taels of silver, just put it away, if it doesn't work, just press it under the mattress, and when you do some small business in the spring of the next year, you don't have to get up early every day to make tofu." ”
Lin Wan'er nodded, feeling that what Zhao Qian said made sense, just put it under the mattress, and then frowned slightly, and said, "No, what should I do if I am bitten by a mouse?" Also, you actually came up with such a bad idea, do you want to beat my silver idea? ”
Zhao Gan couldn't help but touch his forehead, sighed for a long time, and said, "Lin Wan'er, what are you thinking about in your head." As for the idea of beating fifty taels of silver?! ”
Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, looked Zhao Gan up and down, and actually said something that made Zhao Gan's jaw drop: "That's not accurate." ”
Zhao Gan raised his hands to make a surrender form and said, "Lin Wan'er, I really convinced you." With that, he turned and left.
Lin Wan'er reached out and touched the silver ticket in her arms, fortunately it was still there, and her heart calmed down a little.
The next day, Lin Wan'er didn't go to sell tofu, but went to the money bank, exchanged the silver ticket in her hand for real money, the largest ten taels of silver, the smallest one tael, wrapped in a burden, and sneakily returned to the small courtyard, from behind, Lin Wan'er didn't look like she was afraid that someone would steal her silver, but that she had just stolen someone else's silver.
Lin Wan'er returned home, hid the silver in different places, and then exhaled a long breath, feeling safer in her heart.
During the meal, Lin Wan'er was in a good mood, and there was no more chatter.
Zhao Qian was curious and asked, "Lin Wan'er, why aren't you afraid that someone will steal your silver again today?" ”
Lin Wan'er said unexpectedly: "Haha, today I went to the money village and exchanged all the silver tickets for silver coins, so that I am not afraid of rat bites." And I haven't put it in the same place yet, so I'm not afraid of someone stealing it. ”
Zhao Qian couldn't help shaking his head, and said in a slightly teasing tone: "Be careful, don't forget where you hide it, you won't be able to find it when the time comes." ”
Lin Wan'er didn't hear the teasing tone in Zhao Qian's tone, and thought that the other party was really reminding her kindly, so she silently thought about the place where the silver money was hidden in her heart, and there were words in her mouth, and finally made sure that she didn't forget it before continuing to eat with peace of mind.
In the past, the Lin family had the habit of taking a nap at noon, and the nap was to fight hunger, but now that they have New Year's goods and money, they don't need to take a nap anymore, so Baoyu and Yubao both ran out to play at noon. But Dabao didn't go out with him, and fell asleep in his own small bed.
Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian stayed in the small courtyard, sitting at the table in the front hall peeling peanuts.
There are a lot of peanuts in Zhao Qian's New Year's goods, Lin Wan'er wants to cook some peanut kernels, put some salt, sprinkle some coriander is a plate of appetizers, put some peanuts in the rice porridge, put some sugar, the taste will be very good.
The two of them chatted about some homely things without a word, Lin Wan'er had the habit of taking a nap, and when the time came, she was so sleepy that her tears flowed, and her big eyes couldn't help but close, sitting there and swaying from side to side, just not falling.
Zhao Gan laughed silently, approved a piece of clothing for Lin Wan'er, and took the opportunity to pull Lin Wan'er's unpeeled peanuts in front of him, the weather was warm, even if he sat there and took a nap, he wouldn't get cold, so Zhao Gan didn't wake Lin Wan'er up.
At this time, the door of the Lin family's courtyard was suddenly kicked open, Zhao Qian frowned slightly, Lin Wan'er woke up instantly, looked out in a daze, and saw a couple coming from outside angrily.
Lin Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Erxi and sister-in-law Erxi come in quickly, come in quickly." ”
The person who came was Lin Wan'er's neighbor, the man's name was Yang Erxi, and the woman was Yang Erxi's daughter-in-law, not far from the Lin family's courtyard, three streets away. Yang Erxi works on the dock, Yang Erxi's daughter-in-law does some textile work, and has a child named Yang Kaiguang. Yang Erxi always felt that his name was not good, so he worked hard all his life, but he hoped that his son would have a good life, so he gave him the name of Yang Kaiguang. Yang Erxi's family situation is much better than Lin Wan'er's family, and there is little contact with each other. Yang Erxi didn't know why he looked down on the Lin family from his heart, and always felt that the Lin family would be ruined in the end, but the Lin family just couldn't shake it. Yang Erxi has a dark side in his heart: sometimes he looks forward to the demise of the Lin family, and he stands by to watch the excitement and says a few sighs, but this kind of affection cannot be for outsiders.
Yang Erxi and his daughter-in-law sat down angrily, Lin Wan'er poured tea and said, "Brother Erxi, I don't know why this happened. ”
Yang Erxi snorted coldly and said, "Lin Wan'er, the good things that your family's Baoyu and Yubao have done have opened up my family, and today I am here to seek justice." ”
Erxi's daughter-in-law cried just right, unspeakably miserable and miserable.
Lin Wan'er sat next to her and didn't speak, there must be something to say about this kind of thing, just listen quietly, no need to talk much.
Yang Erxi poured a sip of tea and said, "It's nothing to do with children messing around, but your family's Baoyu and Yubao tied my family Kaiguang to a tree, and even let Kaiguang hold the firecrackers and light them. I just asked Lang Zhong to take a look, and said that the injury was not light. God is pitiful, my house was seriously injured by the explosion for no reason, and now I am still lying in bed. Lin Wan'er, you must give me an answer today. After saying that, he slammed his hand on the seat, and the peanuts on the table were bounced up and jumped.
Hearing this, Zhao Qian not only did not get angry, but laughed out loud and said: "It's really like Baoyu and Yubao's style, with personality, I like it, haha." ”
Yang Erxi and Erxi's daughter-in-law looked at Zhao Gan, who was gloating, and their eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire.
Lin Wan'er just hurriedly compensated Yang Erxi and his wife, the left sentence was sorry, the right sentence was sorry, and finally hurriedly returned to the Taoist house, took out twenty taels of silver taels that she had just hidden, and pushed them all in front of Yang Erxi and his wife, and said: "I'm really sorry, Brother Erxi, it's all my fault, the discipline is not strict, so Baoyu and Yubao cause so much trouble." Brother Erxi, you don't remember the villain, this is some silver taels, in addition to the money for medical treatment, there is a lot of leftover, so you should buy some eggs for Kaiguang. Baoyu and Yubao haven't come back yet, and when the two children come back, I will definitely teach a lesson, and I ask Brother Erxi not to be angry anymore. ”
Yang Erxi and Erxi's daughter-in-law couldn't believe that Lin Wan'er actually took out twenty taels of silver in one go, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, in fact, Yang Kaiguang's injury was not serious. Yang Erxi and his wife just wanted to come to the Lin family to make a fuss and cheat some money, but they never thought that they would cheat twenty taels of silver. At this time, Yang Erxi unexpectedly wanted Baoyu and Yubao to beat their son harder in his heart, which was not enough for outsiders.
Yang Erxi and his wife took the money, and they gave birth to Lin Wan'er for a while, Lin Wan'er had the reputation of a wicked girl, but at this time, she didn't say a word, standing there quietly, no one knew her mood, even Zhao Gan beside her was unpredictable.
Yang Erxi felt a little happy in his heart, and said that this Lin Wan'er is amazing, and today is nothing more than that, and it is not that he was scolded by himself for not saying a word.
In the end, Yang Erxi and his wife took the money and left.
Lin Wan'er's face was not angry, but a little anxious.
Zhao Qian came to Lin Wan'er, doubted in his heart, and speculated: "Sheng Baoyu and Yubao are angry?" ”
Lin Wan'er shook her head.
Zhao Qian speculated again: "Then it must be distressed by the silver?" ”
Lin Wan'er still shook her head.
Zhao Gan was unpredictable, thinking that he knew Lin Wan'er very well, but at this moment, Zhao Gan really couldn't see through Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er let out a long sigh and said: "The silver is all outside the body, and it will be earned if it is gone, but things are going to go bad, and I am very worried that the two children of Baoyu and Yubao will do stupid things." Don't look at the young age of the two, but they are very assertive. After such a big disaster today, I definitely don't dare to go home, and I don't know where I will hide tonight. It's so cold now, and it's bad to get sick from the cold. Recently, the city of Lanzhou has not been peaceful, so I'm afraid I'll ......" Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er didn't want to continue.
When Zhao Gan heard this, his brows began to twist, what Lin Wan'er said was very reasonable, she had not been in contact with the two children for a long time, but she felt that the two children were very assertive, especially Baoyu, who had active thinking and unique ideas, and opened her mouth to comfort: "Don't worry, the two children are so sensible, they will come back as soon as it gets dark." ”
Lin Wan'er shook her head, made up her mind in her heart, and said, "I'll go out and look for it." ”
Zhao Gangang hurriedly said, "Otherwise, if you stay at home, I'll go out and look for it." ”
Lin Wan'er didn't agree, and said noncommittently: "You just came to Lanzhou, and you are not familiar with Lanzhou, so let's stay at home, Dabao woke up and said that I went shopping and came back immediately." The third and fourth come back, and you cook some noodles. In addition, you don't have to go out to look for me, just wait at home, and save yourself a fork in the road when the time comes. ”
Zhao Qian nodded, did not insist, and said, "Pay attention to safety." ”
Lin Wan'er hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard.
Winter in Lanzhou is very short in the day, after noon soon to evening, the winter in Lanzhou is warmer than the rest of the Great Wei winter, but after the night is also very cold, the cold wind blows from the land to the sea, everywhere.
Lin Wan'er never came back after she went out, and as Lin Wan'er expected, Baoyu and Yubao didn't come back either, but the sky gradually darkened.
Dabao was very well-behaved after waking up, but at night he didn't see the eldest sister come back, so he couldn't help crying. Zhao Qian folded several paper frogs, but Dabao still cried. Zhao Qian was anxious, but he still cooked a pot of noodles in the kitchen according to Lin Wan'er's instructions, and when Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin returned home, they ate a meal of noodles like batter.
Zhao Gan roughly explained the beginning and end of the matter at the dinner table, Lin Qianyi's face remained unchanged, but Lin Hanlin was furious, and wanted to find Lin Wan'er, but was stopped by Zhao Gan.
The night is getting darker.
Lin Qianyi went back to the house to study, but his tone was a little anxious, Dabao was still crying, Lin Hanlin was pacing back and forth in the front hall, Zhao Gan was sitting on the seat, clenching his hands tightly, his finger joints were a little white, but he didn't know it.
