Chapter Title: Chapter 80 Pan Jiaqing, set

Chapter 80 Pan Jiaqing is set

Qiu Chen said as he walked: "I don't know if a woman with a child will think that Mr. Pan will be slow?" ”

Xu Changwen sent Ah Fu into the carriage, and leaned over to hug Man'er, but he didn't let go and hugged him directly, shook his head and said: "It's okay, Brother Pan Xian has a free and open-minded temperament, as long as he sees Man'er such a smart child, let alone someone invites him, even if no one invites him, I'm afraid that he will rush to accept him as a disciple!" ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Chen was slightly relieved.

The reason why he specially brought Aman into the city today, and the reason why he asked the woman if her children would be despised, Qiu Chen wanted to know whether Mr. Pan was rigid in stereotypes and customs, and whether he was contemptuous and prejudiced against women. Although she followed Xu Changwen to invite someone, Qiu Chen had already made up her mind to pay attention to it, if the student who didn't agree to accept Man'er would save a lot of trouble and go directly to find a suitable gentleman.

Next, Xu Changwen really did as he said, pulling Man'er Fu'er and not letting go, for a while pointing to a peach blossom in the yard on the side of the road, telling the brothers and sisters 'three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo', and then pointing to the roadside shop to teach Fu'er Man'er to read and write, Man'er listened very fascinated, and walked down the street, Fu'er Man'er was already a gentleman, and Xu Changwen was quite familiar.

The old man who was turned into Uncle An by Xu Changwen followed Junwen Lin Xu's car for a few steps, and then looked back at his son-in-law, looking at his own cold and square son, he actually hugged a little girl in his arms for the first time, and laughed with the young woman, I couldn't believe my eyes, and I always felt that I was dizzy and recognized the wrong person. He rubbed his eyes with all his might, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that his son-in-law had naturally carried the child and walked side by side with the woman into the city gate.

It's just that no matter what speculation he had in his heart, he didn't dare to run up and question his son-in-law, and when he turned around, he saw Jun Wenzheng with a whip and greeted him: "Uncle, let's go too!" Send you off, we have to rush back as soon as possible! ”

As soon as Uncle An heard this, he had no objection, nodded with a smile and agreed, and Lin Xu and Junwen helped him into the carriage, and then sat with Junwen in the carriage, and began to chat with Junwen without a ride. First, I asked who the surname was and where I lived, and slowly went deeper into the problem. Junwen is a sincere child, and he didn't expect this old man to have other thoughts, and he didn't hide it, Uncle An learned from him that the young woman who had just been quite casual and intimate with his son-in-law turned out to be a widow whose husband had just died...... Thinking of his son-in-law's demeanor just now, Uncle An confirmed his guess in his heart.

Not to mention, Uncle An has no heart, and Qiu Chen walked all the way into the city with Xu Changwen, but there was no need to detour, he walked all the way down the street, and when he came to the second intersection, he saw a small stall selling words on the corner of the street under a teahouse.

The stall was very simple, so a table was set up on the street, and a thin rope was nailed to the gable of the teahouse behind the table, and several words of different sizes were hung on the rope. The stall was set up here, but there was no one in sight.

Qiu Chen swept over at a glance, and saw that most of them were arbitrarily running grass, and it was really like a dragon flying phoenix, and the pen was strong; In addition, there are also a few small pieces of regular script, Qiu Chen looked at it carefully, knowing that it was a copy of Buddhist scriptures. I think it was for some people who believe in Buddhism to buy it back and worship and chant it.

From these words, it can be seen that this Pan Jiaqing is as Mr. Xu said, free and easy, knows how to be flexible, and is not the kind of dead reading and reading dead books and rotten Confucianism, but Qiu Chen nodded secretly, and felt a lot more relieved.

Xu Changwen stood still in front of the stall, unhurriedly reached out and picked up a piece of paper from the table, and after glancing at it, he raised his head at Qiu Chen and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go find him!" ”

Qiu Chen glanced at the words on the paper with Xu Changwen's hand, and couldn't help laughing. There is actually a three-and-a-half-sentence paragraph written on the paper -- 'The warm sun rises in the sky, the hungry belly is booming, if you come to buy words, wait a minute!' ’

Don't say it, it's quite a rhyme!

Xu Changwen looked calm, walked around the street with Aman in his arms, and turned into the adjacent side street. The houses on both sides of the street are still neat, but the street is much narrower. Xu Changwen walked not far along the narrow street, stopped in front of an inconspicuous small door, turned around and smiled at Qiu Chen, pointed to a cloth banner with the word '麺' hanging at the head of the door, and said, "This is it." Jiaqing has said many times, saying that the wide noodles here and the noodles are delicious. ”

Qiu Chen smiled, and secretly said in his heart, no matter how much noodles play Tang Qing, it is just noodles, and the reason why Mr. Pan loves this place is only because the noodles are cheap!

As Xu Changwen walked into the small noodle restaurant, he was greeted by a large cauldron close to the door of the store, the clear soup in the pot was boiling, and a man in his forties next to him was grabbing a handful of noodles from the board and putting them into the pot. While stirring, he raised his head and greeted: "A few guest officers, please come in, please come in, may I ask what kind of noodles the guest officers eat?" ”

"We don't ......" Xu Wenchang subconsciously refused, but was intercepted by Qiu Chen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, why don't we also try this noodle soup and good noodles?" ”

Xu Changwen was stunned, then smiled, nodded and said no more, went straight around the noodle cooking stove, and walked into the shop.

Qiu Chen caught a glimpse of him walking straight to a young man sitting alone in the corner, knowing that it must be Pan Jiaqing, so he asked the old man who cooked noodles for a few bowls of sauce and meat noodles, and asked for only two varieties of side dishes, and then followed Xu Changwen over.

Today, Qiu Chen wore a crescent white collared shirt that Erkui's family had just made, and in order to go out, he wore a navy blue long skirt, all of which were muslin. Qiu Chen repeatedly asked, the Erkui family is no longer in a hurry to make clothes, but the workmanship has worked hard, Qiu Chen is wearing a skirt today, the collar and cuffs of the shirt are embroidered with cyan twig patterns, and the skirt is also embroidered with a few small patterns, not public, but elegant and exquisite.

Walking over with a slight smile, Pan Jiaqing turned away with a sweep of his eyes, and Xu Changwen immediately stood up to introduce the two parties. Pan Jiaqing and Yang Shuyong greeted each other.

Hearing the introduction of himself, Qiu Chen was slightly blessed, and Pan Jiaqing hurriedly returned the salute.

Without Qiu Chen to speak, Xu Changwen first asked her to sit down, and then said: "Mrs. Lin is the one I just mentioned to you about the main family, she is pitying the poor and the weak, friendly neighbors, and knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has enlightened several children ......."

When Xu Changwen said this, Pan Jiaqing couldn't help showing a trace of disbelief on his face, and even mocked, and said, "Brother Xu, is this a bit exaggerated?" ”

Xu Changwen glanced at Qiu Chen, and did not answer Pan Jiaqing's question, but only hugged Aman, and said with a smile: "Man'er, recite a song 'Qiantang Lake Spring Trip' to this Mr. Pan!" ”

Ah Man blinked and nodded with big eyes, obediently slipped off Xu Changwen's knees, stood in front of Pan Jiaqing in a proper manner, blessed in style, and then held his little hands behind his back, and said loudly: ""Spring Travel on the Qiantang River", Tang, Bai Juyi. Gushan Temple North Jia Ting West ...... Asakusa can have no horseshoe...... White Sand Embankment. ”

Aman blessed Pan Jiaqing again and said, "Please, Mr. Pan...... Correct! ”

A poem of eight sentences and seven words, reciting the tone and frustration, not missing a word, after memorizing, it has already made Pan Jiaqing a little incredible, zaijian is so well-behaved and polite, that full of surprise slowly gave birth to a kind of heartfelt like, involuntarily smiled, and said gently: "How long have you been learning this poem?" ”

Ah Man turned his head to look at Xu Changwen, then turned back to Pan Jiaqing and said, "Just now, Mr. taught!" ”

Ah Fu, this little girl, has a peculiarity, her voice is crisp when she recites poems, and she doesn't stumble, but when she usually speaks, she can't say too long sentences. At this moment, a sentence was broken in half.

When Pan Jiaqing heard this answer, she was surprised, and couldn't help but look up at Xu Changwen and said, "Really? ”

Xu Changwen smiled proudly: "Can such a child still lie?" Of course it's true! ”

Smiling, Xu Changwen said again: "I was a little incredulous when I first heard it before, so I took the school exam, not only can I recite a few poems, but I also really understand the meaning of some poems!" ”

"Oh, that's what I have to hear." Pan Jiaqing went from not believing in suspicion at first, to being surprised, and then at this time, she really paid attention to this little girl who seemed to be only one or two years old. "Man'er, right, tell me, what does Asakusa mean?"

Man'er blinked a little ignorantly, and subconsciously looked back at his mother.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Pan is asking you what Asakusa means in the poem." ”

Man'er understood this time, nodded his little head, turned his head and said to Pan Jiaqing: "Shallow, originally, it is said that there is little water, not deep." In the poem, it means short and small. Asakusa, that is, grass, has just grown, is very small and short...... Well, just covered, horseshoe. Hmm, so high! ”

As she spoke, Man'er was afraid that Pan Jiaqing wouldn't understand, so she measured it with her two chubby little hands. Well, their rouge horseshoe is so high, that's right!

The little girl said that it was a little intermittent, but the meaning was expressed very clearly, and she really understood the meaning of the poem.

Pan Jiaqing's face had a look of surprise, joy, and a little ...... Maybe he couldn't say things clearly, he first turned his face to look at Xu Changwen, and then turned his gaze to Lin Niangzi, who was still smiling faintly, and then raised his hand to touch the top of Aman's little girl's head, and praised: "Yes, it's really good...... In the future, will you follow me to learn to read and compose poetry? ”

The little girl didn't agree immediately, but tilted her head to look at Pan Jiaqing and asked, "Are you better than Mr." "Although the little girl has only followed Xu Changwen all the way, she has already admired this Mr. Xu, and automatically and spontaneously removed the surname 'Mr. Xu' and directly called Xu Changwen Mr. At this time, when she heard that Pan Jiaqing wanted to be her husband, she was inevitably a little repulsed in her heart, and Tong Yan asked directly.

The three adults were stunned at the same time, but Pan Jiaqing was the first to come back to his senses and laugh.

Xu Changwen lovingly took the little girl into his arms, touched the little girl's pigtails, and said: "This Mr. Pan is very knowledgeable, Man'er follows Mr. Pan to study hard......"

Man'er didn't wait for Xu Changwen to finish speaking, so he put his arms around Xu Changwen's neck and said, "Can't Mr. teach Man'er?" Man'er likes Mr. ......"

The little soft bun, soft and glutinous praying, almost made Xu Chengwen's eyes red, he took a deep breath, patted the little girl and said, "Sir...... I have something to leave for a few days, and I can't teach Man'er. This Mr. Pan is very knowledgeable, and he is also very good, and he likes Man'er very much, and Man'er follows Mr. Pan to study hard...... Well, when Man'er learned to compose poetry, Mr. will come back. ”

"Oh? Man'er can compose poems, and Mr. will come back? Man'er tilted his little head again for verification, and after seeing Xu Changwen nodding with a smile, he immediately clenched his little fist firmly and said, "Well, Man'er is very, very, learn to compose poetry!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged Xu Changwen's neck, automatically and spontaneously slipped down, came to Pan Jiaqing, and respectfully saluted: "Mr. Pan, Mr. Man'er, learn to compose poetry!" ”

"Huh...... Good, good! Pan Jiaqing smiled and reached out to touch Man'er's pigtails, and asked with a smile, "Man'er...... Now that you're enrolled, do you have a big name? ”

Qiu Chen recalled it very much, and made sure that Lin Xu hadn't mentioned Fu'er Man'er's name, so he smiled and said: "The child is small, and he has been calling him a little name, but he hasn't given a big name yet." Let's give Mr. Lao a big name! ”

Pan Jiaqing's face was happy, and she touched Man'er's hair and said in a deep voice, "Jia'er and beautiful girl, full of blessings, but if you want to thank your mother for her hard work, it is called filial piety, filial piety!" ”

"Lin Xiaoru, Lin Xiaojie...... Thank you Mr. Pan! Qiu Chen got up and thanked him, and Man'er also followed suit.

It just so happened that the owner of the noodle restaurant brought a large bowl of noodles and side dishes. Xu Changwen said with a smile: "Let's also try the noodles and soup!" ”

Everyone laughed. Pan Jiaqing went to Lin's house to negotiate the affairs of the museum, twenty taels of silver a year, three meals a day and clothes for four seasons. And a month later, the Lin family sent a carriage to pick it up. Not long after, Lin Xu and Junwen came in a carriage and were equally happy to see Pan Jiaqing.

After seeing Lin Xu, Pan Jiaqing asked a few words, Lin Xu was gentle and polite, and answered one by one without being humble or arrogant, Pan Jiaqing was delighted, such a good student, it was obvious that Xu Changwen had made great efforts to teach before, at this level, perhaps, after the autumn exam, he would be able to enter the child's ...... If it was good, maybe he would have passed the exam earlier than him......

Thinking of this, Pan Jiaqing couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she was relieved again, and she was a little complacent, no matter whether Lin Xu entered earlier than him, the status of a teacher and student was decided...... Hehe, he also took a big advantage!

Lin Xu and Junwen also had lunch in the noodle restaurant, and Xu Changwen and Qiu Chen said goodbye to Pan Jiaqing together.

Qiu Chen rarely went back to the county seat, so he naturally wanted to buy some items. still asked Lin Xu and Junwen to send Xu Changwen home, she and Yang Shuyong took a few children and went shopping happily.

Sitting in the carriage, watching through the window Qiu Chen leading a group of children, large and small, going away from the road, gradually moving away, the smile on Xu Changwen's face gradually dissipated, his eyes were a little sour, and the carriage was also out of sight around the corner, Xu Changwen could only lower his eyes, sighed, put down the green cloth curtains, and covered the street market and the flow of people outside the window, leaving only the small workshop, himself.

Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong brought the children to the county seat, so they naturally wanted to buy some snacks that the children liked, and there were no ingredients and meat in Qingshui Town.

In this era, cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys were the main animals for farming and transportation, and the people were not allowed to slaughter them casually. It is not easy for ordinary people to raise a big animal, and they will not slaughter it casually, because they can't see meat such as beef and donkey meat sold on weekdays. It's also a coincidence today, a prime-aged mule in the village west of the city went up the mountain to transport goods and fell to his death, and the butcher shop heard the news, and Qiu Chen and his party were just on the table for a short time.

The color of mule meat is dark red, the texture of the meat is coarse, and I am a little suspicious if I have not eaten it, and it is also a pound of meat, mule meat is nearly twice as expensive as pork, and it is lean and has no fat...... Originally, the owner of the butcher shop wanted to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect it, but it was very deserted, and few people came forward to ask.

Qiu Chen has eaten mule meat, and there is a saying in her hometown in modern times, 'goose meat in the sky and mule meat on the ground'! It is said that mule meat is the meat of animals, and it is delicious!

Looking at the dark red meat, she thought it was beef at first, but when she heard that it was mule meat, she was overjoyed.

After talking about the price with the butcher shop owner, Qiu Chen directly asked for two ribs with bones and meat, and two hind legs, as well as a mule head and the whole skeleton, plus bar plus bar, it turned out to be ten taels and three dollars and a half silver, the butcher shop owner laughed and trembled, and waved his greasy hand very boldly, erased the half dollar silver, and pointed out Qiu Chen and his party warmly and thoughtfully, went to buy a large vat in the pottery shop next to the two shops, and put the mule meat in it and put it in the carriage.

Yang Shuyong was distressed, and opened his mouth several times to stop it, but it didn't work at all, so he could only watch his sister exchange a big ingot of silver for a vat of meat...... Loading is still done by him and Junwen Lin Xu.

Leaving the butcher shop, Qiu Chen smiled: "Big brother, don't feel sorry for the silver, let's work hard to earn the silver, isn't it just to eat well and dress well, and the old people and children will not be aggrieved?" I figured it out, these mules are rare, big brother look at the county town can have our side of the carriage, to our father, our mother and sister-in-law, Xiaojun gift half of the back, the hind leg meat chopped stuffing dumplings and buns are good, the ribs are chopped into pieces and stewed, which is much more fragrant than pork...... Oh, speaking of stewed meat, we still have to go to the pharmacy, I'll wrap two packets of seasoning for my sisters-in-law, just wrap the stew in a thin cloth and put it in, so that the stewed meat is delicious! ”

Saying so excitedly, Qiu Chen's eyes flashed and he saw the medicine shop not far away, so he stepped in, and came out with two medicine bags.

Seeing his sister so happy and happy, and never forgetting his father's family, Yang Shuyong didn't want to say anything, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Since he wanted to bring things to the Yang family's shop, Qiu Chen simply went to the cloth village to buy six horses of cocoon silk, six horses of muslin, and also went to the grain store to buy 100 catties of white flour and 100 catties of white rice.

Yang Shuyong has been driving for nearly 20 years, and he knows a lot of people, but he found a car in the neighboring village of the Yang family's shop, Qiu Chen carried a two-pound piece of heavy mule meat and four feet of cyan cotton cloth to the handlebar, and the man said happily that he would not wait for work in the afternoon, so he went back and sent the mule meat back to the Yang family.

After sending the carriage away, Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong took the children to the Mancang woodware store, ordered desks for the children, and ordered more than ten doors and windows for the house, and asked Mancang to help buy beams and purlins to build the house.

As soon as Man Cang heard this, he knew that the Lin family was going to build a house again, and hurriedly asked when the house would start, he would be able to deliver the work at hand in a few days, and at that time, he would definitely rush back and make woodware for the Lin family.

Saying this, Qiu Chen shook his head and said: "Now it's just a matter of preparing materials, and the date for building a house has not yet been decided...... I'm laying out a row, how can I get the autumn queen if I want to build a house! ”

After leaving the Mancang woodware shop, Yang Shuyong asked Qiu Chen suspiciously: "Sister, I just heard what you said, why didn't you build a house again?" I didn't build a house, and after a month, my husband went, where did I go to open a school? ”

Qiu Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "I thought about it just now, let's invite Mr. to run a private school, and we can't just let our children come to school, not to mention what is going on in the west, and the children in the neighborhood are not old and young...... Simply, please sir, we will still go out with the money to build a house, and leave the land and building a house to the village and those village elders to worry about! ”

Lin Xu had been listening quietly, and when he heard Qiu Chen say this, he reacted more than Yang Shuyong, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law handed over this matter to the village, not only does she not have to worry about it, but she has a reputation of respecting the elderly!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu and smiled appreciatively: "It seems that the second brother has really grown up!" ”

In a word, Lin Xu blushed, and he repeatedly bowed his hand to say that he didn't dare.

After that, Qiu Chen took Lin Xu and a group of children to Anping City Bookstore again. The bookstore here is not comparable to the bookstore in Qingshui Town, the neat four large houses, the eyes are all down to the bottom of the big bookshelf, which is crowded with all kinds of books, watching the children one by one dumbfounded, surprised and shocked!

Looking at the time, Qiu Chen gave the children an hour to read all kinds of books or all kinds of exquisite study utensils. 'It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles', Qiu Chen thought it was true, some things were not seen with his own eyes, and they couldn't be concretized just by describing them in the book. Sometimes it is better to memorize an article of thousands of words than to look at the real thing to be intuitive and impressive.

An hour later, a quarter of an hour, Qiu Chen gave the children the right to choose five taels of silver, and let them buy their favorite books and stationery at will within the range of five taels of silver.

Lin Xu was very direct, he spent four taels or six dollars for two books, and the rest was to buy a piece of incense ink, which was just five taels of silver;

Junwen was more frugal, bought a bunch of low-grade shengxuan for practicing calligraphy, bought two brushes, and then bought two books, one is Tao Hongjing's "Shennong's Materia Medica", which cost a total of three taels and two dollars of silver;

Junshu took an abacus, Qiu Chen saw it, and took out the abacus for him, saying that she should buy it for Junshu, and let Junshu choose something else, Junshu looked at it for a while, shook his head in a daze, and didn't ask for anything;

Junyan bought a bamboo flute and two brushes, and spent a total of one or two or four dollars of silver;

Junzhang bought a set of dyes, large and small brushes, a small pile of shengxuan, and a book of flower and bird paintings;

Ah Fu bought a pair of bamboo root carved lying deer bat wisteria paperweight. The reason why Ah Fu bought this pair of paperweights was not because the little guy was greedy for exquisite patterns or vassal elegance, but because the little guy in the bookstore said 'full of blessings', which made the little guy immediately make a decision to buy it. As for the phrase 'high-ranking official Houlu' behind the young man, he automatically ignored it; as soon as the paperweight was bought, Ah Fu took one and gave it to Ah Man, and the brother and sister were evenly divided and impartial;

A man is small, but the little girl has high ambitions and bought a copy of "Poetry Collection"; collected the poems of the major masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, a thick one, very weighty, five taels of silver was not enough, and it happened that Ah Fu left more than one or two for her;

Qiu Chen watched the children buy things, each with their own needs and unique characteristics, but no one bought unrealistic and luxurious things, which shows that the children are simple and kind, and their hearts are naturally happy. So, with all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones left, she bought a big bag, and even the children spent nearly sixty taels of silver on this shop.

I bought everything I needed and liked, and the family happily embarked on the return journey.

When he was about to leave the county seat, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered something. Huichun Hall delivered goods to the border gate, although she didn't know much about the exact purpose, but the general direction was all the way to the north. Huairong Town, where Xu Changwen went, is an important town in the north, why did she forget to explain to Xu Changwen, if Xu Changwen can follow the caravan all the way and take care of each other, it will be much more convenient.

"Stop!" Qiu Chen stopped the carriage and talked to Yang Shuyong, and Yang Shuyong also patted his head again and again, saying that he had forgotten about it. So he sent Junwen and Lin Xu to drive to Xu's house, Xu Changwen had never been to the north, the road was far away and remote, and he was naturally happy to be able to follow the caravan. So I made an appointment with Lin Xu, set a departure date, and came over to report the news, and we would accompany each other at that time.

Set off again, everyone had nothing to do, so, laughing all the way, seeing a beautiful wildflower on the road, Junyan Junzhang also ran down to pick a large handful of wildflowers soft grass back, knitted a big wreath straw hat for Man'er, wearing Man'er's head, two small pigtails popped out from the garland, trembling like a pair of antennae, it seemed to have big eyes, smiling like a little girl, like a flower elf, very cute.

Two cars, a large group of people of all ages did not care about going to the county seat to eat, Qiu Chen bought some steamed buns, and some cooked food, eating while walking on the road, the sky was warm, the sun was shining, everyone was full of joy, but let Qiu Chen find some modern self-driving fun.

As the days became warmer, the sun set later and later, and when the family returned home, it was dusk. When they got home, Qiu Chen said hello to Lan Ying and the others, and then took two catties of mule meat and two catties of snacks to Lin Xu's house with him.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ji's station feeding chickens in the yard, talking to the eldest daughter-in-law in the kitchen.

"Auntie!" Qiu Chen greeted with a smile.

When Ji saw Qiu Chen walking in, he immediately pulled up a bright smile, hurriedly raised the sorghum straw in his hand to the yard, slapped his hands and clothes, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh, it's Begonia, come in, come in!"

As he spoke, he walked up to Qiu Chen, looked at Qiu Chen with pointed eyes and said with some exaggerated eyes: "Begonia is this dress, right?" Tsk, this color is so elegant! ”

Ji's eldest daughter-in-law also came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound, and said with a smile: "My mother only saw Begonia's sister-in-law's clothes, but this dress is also worn by others." This dress is also worn by Begonia's sister-in-law, and it doesn't look so good on someone else! ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law flattered enthusiastically, Qiu Chen knew the source, and his intuition hypocrisy and shili didn't want to deal with it, but he had to put up a smile and change the topic with a smile: "Hehe, your family hasn't eaten yet, right?" Isn't it in my jade master's house? I want to ask Master Yu about something. ”

Qiu Chen flattered and avoided answering their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ji and his daughter-in-law were a little sneering, hearing Qiu Chen mention his father-in-law, Ji laughed again, and enthusiastically greeted Qiu Chen and walked into the house: "Look, I am confused when I am happy, and when I see you, I can't kiss you, so I will block you at the door, that is, if you don't talk to me, I don't know how to complain about me...... Hehe, your lord is in the house, enter the house, enter the house and say! Brother Xu, enter the house, enter the house, hehe, Brother Xu is also an adult when he sees it, what a talent......"

Ji said at length, and then turned around and told his daughter-in-law to boil water and make tea.

Qiu Chen didn't say much to her, and walked into the house along the way, while taking the mule meat and snacks in Lin Xu's hand, and handed them to Ji's hands: "Auntie, I went to the county seat today, and I happened to meet someone selling mule meat, so I weighed a few catties, took two catties, and gave them to Yu Guiye to taste!" ”

Ji nodded again and again with a happy face: "Ouch, mule meat, this is really a rare thing, and it is easy to encounter it." This chopped stuffed dumplings are delicious, hehe, your jade master has a bad mouth, and I don't know how to be happy when I eat a meal of mule meatball dumplings! ”

Saying that, several people also walked to the door of the house, Qiu Chen smiled, stepped into the house with one foot, and shouted towards the east of the black hole: "Jade Guiye! ”

"Oh, bless, come in!" Liu Yugui sat on the chair, and greeted him much warmer than the first time Qiu Chen came to the door.

Qiu Chen and Lin Xu walked into the black hole room, and Ji Shi walked in after him, and sent the snacks and mule meat in his hand to Liu Yugui and said, "Dad, look, Haitang and Brother Xu bought you snacks and mule meat, Gai Ming'er, I'll make mule meat dumplings for you!" ”

Liu Yugui was as old as a walnut skin, with a soft smile on his face, nodded, and then advised: "Chop it out and feed it tonight, or it won't taste good...... Oh, and the noodles are softer, and the hard dumplings are not delicious......"

"Oh, Cheng, I'll chop it later!" Ji Shi put the dim sum on the table for the old man, and walked out with the mule meat.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Auntie, you put a pinch of salt in water and soak it for an hour, the blood and water in the meat are drained clean, and the dumplings taste fragrant!" ”

"Oh, okay, okay, then I'm going to soak it now!" Ji nodded again and again and went out with a smile.

When the Ji family went out, Liu Yugui's eyes turned to Qiu Chen and Lin Xu: "I heard that your Lin family is going to ask Mr. to open a private school?" ”

Qiu Chen glanced at Lin Xu and said with a smile: "Old man, there is indeed such a thing. However, it is not our Lin family who runs a private school. My second brother and I discussed, after Fu'er's father was gone, our family was taken care of and maintained by the neighbors in the village, and now we have opened that small workshop, and we have made some money. We wanted to do something for the villagers, but at first we didn't think of what we could do, or later I saw that those shops in the town were willing to learn to learn if they were willing to learn to read...... But after all, our family has a small population, the second brother is not an adult, and there is no host in the family...... I just thought about coming over and discussing with Yu Guiye, building a village school, our Lin family will produce bricks, stones, and wood, and worry about Yu Guiye and the old people in the village, Zhang Luo, pick a piece ......of land, and call for some manpower."

"Oh, you're going to help build a school in the village?" Liu Yugui sat up straight all of a sudden, staring at Qiu Chen with a pair of dizzy old eyes, further confirming.

Lin Xu stood up and said to Liu Yugui: "Yes, my sister-in-law and I discussed it like this, and I also asked Lord Yu and the elders in the village to be tired!" ”

"Haha, what is this...... Ahem, this is a good thing, a great thing to benefit children and grandchildren, what are we old men afraid of! Hehe, Brother Xu, sit down and say, sit down and say......" Liu Yugui smiled with an old face that was richer than chrysanthemum patterns, and beckoned Lin Xu to sit down, and then followed closely, "Brother Xu, since you and your sister-in-law paid for the construction of the school, where do you want to invite Mr. in the past?" It's hard to find a good gentleman like Mr. Xu! ”

Lin Xu looked at Qiu Chen with a smile, and the uncle and sister-in-law exchanged glances, and said, "Master Yu, I won't tell you anything, Mr. Xu recommended a gentleman before leaving, and his knowledge and conduct are excellent......

"Oh?" The smile on Liu Yugui's face eased a little, looked at Lin Xu and asked, "Is he willing to come to our Liu Jiaao?" How many bundles do you need? ”

Qiu Chen smiled and answered: "Master Yu, please ask Mr. about it, Mr. Xu has also asked for us, that Mr. Pan is very filial to his mother, saying that he is willing to come, but he has to go home and ask his mother what he means......

Liu Yugui nodded again and again: "Filial piety is good, and being a child should be filial......"

Chattering, Liu Yugui's gaze swept over Qiu Chen and Lin Xu, and he sighed: "It is said that it is the duty to go to school and hand over the bundle of cultivation, but if the bundle is too high, I am afraid that more than half of the children in the village will still not be able to study......"

Qiu Chen glanced at Lin Xu and said with a smile: "Master Yu, I have also discussed this matter with my second brother. As long as our Lin family can survive, we will take ten taels of silver every year to supplement Mr. For the rest, it is enough for the children to pay a few hundred dollars each! ”

"Ten taels ......" Liu Yugui seemed to be unable to react and repeated, and then sighed again and again: "That's good!" I'll just say that your Lin family is good! With your Lin family caring so much about your neighbors, our village will also miss the Lin family in the future...... Don't worry, your Lin family will be at ease in the future, as long as I live, no one in the village will dare to make anything wrong! ”

"Master Yu has always taken care of and maintained our Lin family, and our family knows it in our hearts!"

"Well, I live in a village, the neighbors are hundreds, and I can't get a son, so I should take care ......of it," Liu Yugui humbled himself, and said, "Mr. Xu resigned, and the children are gone...... After a few days, the summer rush began, and it was difficult to find manpower. ”

"Hey, it's all up to Master Yu...... Bricks and stones, timber have been ordered...... Yu Guiye also helped worry about it, see who has it, we will pay for it, do you think it? ”

Qiu Chen and Lin Xu's uncle and sister-in-law had a very low posture and full trust, which made Liu Yugui very respected, proud and complacent, and naturally satisfied. Lian Lian nodded and said, "Cheng, let's do it." I'll call the village elders over tonight to talk about it, and Ming'er will send someone to see the day, and I'll let people go over and talk to you......"

Qiu Chen said again: "You and the elders discussed the arrangement...... Master Yu, your old shop is lined up, where is this school to build? ”

Qiu Chen contributed money and efforts, although he let the village build a school, but he also thought that it would be better to be closer to his home, and it would be convenient for the children to go to school.

Liu Yugui had already lowered his head slightly at this time, and after muttering for a while, he raised his eyes to look at the Lin family's uncle and sister-in-law, and paused again before he spoke: "Well, I see that you have a good paving in front of the door, so let's order more bricks and stones, and also pave the entrance of the school...... Well, let's follow your Lin family and build a school on the vacant land in the east. The terrain over there is also ......."

Don't you say that the Lin family's purple qi comes from the east? After all, the Lin family is an outsider after all, if the school is stained with this purple gas, a few talented children and grandchildren can be made to change the Liu family and glorify their ancestors!

As soon as Liu Yugui said the terrain, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu also thought of the reason, Lin Xu's face looked a little bad, and his mouth moved and wanted to speak, but Qiu Chen secretly stopped him, and agreed with a smile. It's just that Qiu Chen also told Liu Yugui that the Lin family has a lot of workers, and it is inevitable that there will be more movement on weekdays, and the school is next to the Lin family for fear that it will affect the children's study, so it is good to leave some empty space between the school and the Lin family.

Liu Yugui agreed without hesitation. There is a large area of barren slope land to the east of the Lin family, and a dozen acres are set aside, and the rest is enough. As long as it is far away, Lin Jiapu does not cost bricks and stones!

In this way, the matter of building a school hall is discussed. Qiu Chen and Liu Yugui agreed on the establishment of the school again, Liu Yugui didn't expect it to be too good, so he built three main houses, two wing rooms in the east and west, and surrounded a small courtyard. This is much simpler than Qiu Chen's idea, so naturally there is nothing to disagree with.

After that, Qiu Chen proposed to simply buy the vacant land between the Lin family and the school, and Liu Yugui naturally had no objection. Lin Xu immediately wrote a white deed, and Liu Yugui and Lin Xu signed and pressed their handprints. He also asked him to leave the white deed, and when the village elders came over in the evening, let them sign it and be a witness.

Ji's eldest daughter-in-law came in with a pot of hot water to make tea, but Qiu Chen and Lin Xu stood up, said goodbye to Liu Yugui with a smile, and walked out of Liu's house.

Ji and his eldest daughter-in-law sent it out with a smile, and watched Qiu Chen and Lin Xu walk away, then they put away the smile on their faces, pouted, and turned around and entered the door of their house. A widow's family, dressed so brightly to whom? It seems that this Lin Sheng's daughter-in-law is afraid that she won't be able to keep it!

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, but the daughter-in-law of Dajiang was behind her mother-in-law, hurriedly glanced at Qiu Chen's back who walked away, and subconsciously looked down at the red cheesecloth shirt on her body, her eyes darkened, and she went home with her head down, while slandering in her heart, these days, the family has taken over the Lin family's work to collect Luo Bu hemp, and every day they can collect three or four hundred catties of Luo Bu Ma from several surrounding villages, one catty and two Wenli, and three hundred catties can get six hundred Wen, but they are all held in by the mother-in-law, and they don't even add a piece of clothing...... Although Lin Niangzi has no man, she has no parents-in-law to serve, and she is the master of her own house...... You can decide what you want to eat and what you want to wear, so that's why you can live! Alas!

Not to mention what careful thoughts were in the hearts of Ji's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu discussed the construction of the school hall locally, and bought a large vacant land in the east, and after a few days, this vacant land will be fenced off, and when the time comes, the Lin family and the school will still be adjacent, and the school will not be much different from the Lin family's private school.

When the uncle and sister-in-law returned home, when they talked about the school, the whole family was happy.

Lan Ying and the others are also happy, if the Lin family sponsors the village to build a school, their children will also be able to go to school. Now that the Lin family has a stable income, the lives of each family have improved, and at the same time, the horizons of these people have also broadened day by day. Seeing that the lady of the Lin family can set up a workshop because she is literate and knows how to make medicine, she can earn a lot of money, for several nephews and two children, Aman is not yet two years old, and she reads and writes every day.

The ladies of the Lin family have already become idols in their eyes, and the ladies of the Lin family urge their children to read and write, and this literacy must be extremely important. They follow the Lin family's lady, they can't be wrong!

The women's helpers did not talk as they had done in the past, but after a few words, they hurriedly said hello and hurried home.

The enrollment of the school is limited, so they still hurried home to negotiate, and sent a message to the Lin family as soon as possible, so that their children can go to school!

Qiu Chen was also very busy, and sent the helpers away, she took out a piece of mule meat that had been soaked for more than half an hour, cut it into fist-sized pieces, changed the water, put in salt, rubbed hard, cleaned the residual blood in the meat, washed it aside with water, put it into the pot, filled it with water, put it in the material bag, put it in the green onion and ginger bag, made a fire and put it into the wood to chop wood and stew it over a big fire.

In the yard, the two brothers Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng took the initiative to take on the work of chopping meat filling. In this season, the cabbage and radish are not delicious, so Qiu Chen picked and washed more than ten green onions, let the two brothers chop into the meat filling, and brewed pepper water and soy sauce, and chopped into the meat filling little by little.

Two people have strength, stuffing too. Qiu Chen made noodles here and stewed the meat, and the Yang Shuyong brothers over there also chopped the meat stuffing.

The sky was already dark, so Qiu Chen asked Chengzi Junwen to light a few torches and insert them into the courtyard to illuminate the huge front yard. In the light of the shaking torches of the family, the fragrance overflowing from the house, the family got started together, wrapped five large curtain dumplings, the water in the cauldron was boiling and boiling, and the white fat and white fat dumplings went down, took a turn, and floated up. Cover the pot, boil two, then add half a scoop of cold water, and then boil, round and snow-white, the skin is slightly transparent and the mule meat dumplings are cooked, and they can be out of the pot.

Two low tables in the courtyard were spliced together, and chopsticks and garlic dishes with vinegar and sesame oil were already placed. Qiu Chen put the round white fat dumplings into the big plate, Junwen Junshu Lin Xu lined up to take the plate and brought it out of the house, and when Junyan Junzhang Afu was a few small ones at the door, he cheered and jumped, following all the way to the past.

Lin Xu put the plate down, smiled and patted Junyan's little hand that reached into the plate: "It's hot, use chopsticks, eat it cold!" ”

Jun Yan Junzhang smiled, quickly pulled Ah Fu Aman to sit down, and each took chopsticks. One person grabbed one first, put it in his own bowl, and left it to dry.

Qiu Chen took two plates of dumplings, and then walked out of the house, and saw Lin Xu, Junwen and Junshu waiting for her to sit down, Yang Shuyong and Lao He and Liu Sanhe sat there, warming a pot of wine, eating dumplings while squeaking a small wine, moisturizing and comfortable!

Qiu Chen smiled and handed over the two plates of dumplings to Lin Xu and asked him to send them to Lan Ying and Erkui's family. Give Junwen a plate of dumplings, let him send them to the third grandmother, and scoop the dumpling soup for the family, eat dumplings and dumpling soup, and turn the original soup into the original food, which is exquisite!

Comfortably ate the fragrant mule meat dumplings, Lao He and Liu Sanhe went to the third grandmother's house to sleep, Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng, the three brothers and sisters, still habitually gathered in the main house, and several children read books and recited poems to the adults one by one, which also became the Lin family's nightly repertoire.

After Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng listened to the children finish reading the book and reciting the poems, Lin Xu began to teach a day, teaching Qiu Chen to the children to read and even recite the content and explain it.

Qiu Chen and his two brothers sat on the chairs opposite the kang, drinking tea and chatting about their parents. Unlike the more relaxed chatting in the past, seeing that the date of the appointment with the Rejuvenation Hall is approaching, the topic of who to arrange to offer the alcohol recipe and how to get there is inevitable.

Before, Qiu Chen had been struggling with a difficult choice.

According to this shijie ethical habit and way of thinking, this kind of affairs on behalf of the family are all men's affairs. Moreover, from the perspective of long-term development, letting the Lin family be the only one who can do this at present, Lin Xu, will be of great benefit to Lin Xu's development and growth. Of course, this is based on a smooth and safe journey.

But after all, the destination of this trip is the border barracks, and it is quite unstable, and there may be a danger of war at any time, so Lin Xu's personal safety cannot be completely guaranteed...... This was the main factor that Qiu Chen had been struggling with before and could not make a decision.

Today, although this main factor has not changed, it is unexpected to have Mr. Xu with him. With Mr. Xu with him, if Lin Xu goes, along the way, he will not only be able to see the customs and human geography of various places, but also have such a knowledgeable and well-educated Mr. to guide him...... This trip was originally just a trip to offer steamed wine, and it had the meaning of a study tour. This is a good thing for Lin Xu, so the moment Xu Changwen agreed to go with her, she had already made a decision in her heart.

Referring to the matter of offering wine, Qiu Chen muttered: "Right now, what we have to do is to offer the steamed wine recipe." Since it is to let the family miss us, then we can't let others carry it when we donate the prescription, and we need to go to our family. I have already made an appointment with the young owner of the Huichun Hall, and in a few days, their truck fleet will set off, and when the time comes, we will rush to Qingshui Town to make peace with them and go together. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng glanced at each other and did not speak for the time being.

Lin Xu groaned slightly, then got up and said, "Sister-in-law, let me go!" ”

As soon as he said this, both the Yang brothers and Qiu Chen focused their eyes on him. Although he was a little uncomfortable as the focus, Lin Xu's face was inevitably a little ashamed, but he still maintained his calm gaze, quietly looked at his sister-in-law, and expressed his determination and courage.

Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu silently for a moment, and finally nodded gently, Lin Xu's eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but light up with a touch of excitement.

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that their idea was that the girl would go by herself. Long-distance businessmen are big men, begonia peers are inconvenient, not to mention, that hard work, they are really reluctant to their own sisters. Fortunately, it seems that the girl is not confused, let Lin Xu go, just right!

Qiu Chen looked at the young man with a slightly crimson face because of excitement, this age of young people, it is the time when they are full of longing and full of enthusiasm, in their hearts, the shijie outside is gorgeous and beautiful, full of temptation. Being able to get out of the house, for them, the excitement and excitement may have long since made them ignore it, and they didn't know much about the dangers and dangers.

Reading is a long knowledge, but traveling far away can hone the will of the teenager, and experience the teenager's thinking and muscles. Qiu Chen secretly told himself that this trip seemed to be hiding a dangerous journey, which was definitely a good thing for Lin Xu's growth!

"You've been practicing horseback riding a lot these days...... You don't have to think about anything else, just study with peace of mind. Qiu Chen smiled, seeing that Lin Xu was busy nodding his head, he couldn't help but smile again, "This time, I can have Mr. Xu with me, it is you who created it, and I am also a lot more relieved." ”

"Sister-in-law said yes!" Speaking of Mr. Xu's companionship, Lin Xu's face was a little less surprised and excited, but he sincerely showed a kind of joy.

Originally, he was quite reluctant to leave Mr. Xu, but now he is naturally happy to be able to walk with Mr. Xu all the way.

"Okay, Brother Xu should also take care of things!" Yang Shuyong slapped his leg, first encouraged Lin Xu, and then directly announced, "I'll catch a car for Brother Xu." Over the years, I have also been to some places by car, don't do it, I will live in the hotel all the way, rain or shine, and I can take care of it. ”

Before Yang Shuyong's words fell, Yang Shumeng changed his habit of respecting his eldest brother in everything, and retorted: "Big brother, let's go!" Don't you still have to follow Lao He to learn to grow lotus root and raise fish? Seeing that the fish fry are about to be thrown, the lotus root is about to sprout! ”

Yang Shuyong waved his hand and said, "Your house, I'll go!" ”

"Big brother, let's go, it's a long way to go, and it's ...... I'll go for it! Yang Shumeng didn't say yes, although this trip was to deliver medicine and offer prescriptions, but it was really a place to go to the border swords, and the danger of this trip was definitely not comparable to rushing out on weekdays, so he did not hesitate to refute the majesty of the eldest brother and rushed to go by himself.

Yang Shu stood up bravely, his face turned red, and he glared fiercely and said, "I said I'll go!" ”

Yang Shuyong glared and was about to refute, but was stopped by Qiu Chen with a smile: "Big brother, this time, I also think it's appropriate to let the second brother go." ”

"Begonia!" Yang Shuyong didn't expect his sister to help the second child, so he immediately screamed anxiously.

Qiu Chen smiled and comforted Yang Shuyong, and then said slowly: "Big brother, this time, we have to deliver wine, and we have to carry Mr. Xu, so I am afraid that one car is not enough before." In this way, I plan to let the second brother take Junshu with him. At present, the village is about to build a school, and our soap-making workshop is also preparing to start construction...... With so many things, you have to leave someone to take care of it for me, right? Not to mention, there is also a kind of lotus root fish farming. ”

Yang Shuyong was still a little unwilling, and wanted to say something more, but he was stopped by Qiu Chen again, and continued to smile: "Big brother and second brother, don't you fight, didn't you hear about it when we went to the county a few days ago, our army won a big battle a few days ago, and drove the Rong people far away." I pondered, if our family took away two horses at once, the family would not be able to turn around. In the next few days, you have to go to the town and the county to buy a horse and come back. Since we have decided to go on a long trip, we also have to prepare some things for the road, such as tarpaulins and hats...... There are a lot of bits and pieces, and you used to drive out often, and you also pondered for me, what do you need to buy, and where to buy them...... Also, our batch of Luo Buma should also be delivered, and Ming'er has to go to the town for a trip......"

said this piecemeal and chattering, Yang Shuyong originally wanted to speak, but he was a little speechless.

Now, with so many affairs, Haitang worries about it every day, and there is no light time, so don't let her worry about it anymore. What's more, the reason why the Yang Shuyong brothers rushed to walk was because the border was also unstable. Since the Rong people were beaten away, there is no danger in this trip, and it doesn't matter who goes.

Lin Xu solemnly straightened his robe, and looked at Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng deeply: "The Lin family and Xu Duocheng are taken care of by the two brothers, and Xu is not thankful for this." "I will just keep this affection in my heart, but in the future, I will remember this day's kindness and repay it. Lin Xu secretly told himself in his heart.

Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng hurriedly got up and raised their hands to support Lin Xu, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they were unconsciously close to each other.

After the three of them sat down again, Qiu Chen said again: "Although in a few days, the second brother will go to offer a prescription, but these days you can still study with peace of mind, what to prepare, what to bring, me and the two brothers to prepare, you don't want to be distracted." ”

Lin Xu agreed, and Qiu Chen said again: "However, when you come back from school, go to the backyard to have a look, familiarize yourself with the steaming work, and when you get there, if you have any questions, you can answer them correctly." There are also these drawings, you can take them and look at them, ask me if you don't understand anything, and when you get there, you can just present this thing. Also, I asked Nariko to follow, and he followed these days, and at that time, if you have any questions, you can also ask him. ”

Lin Xu bowed down and agreed. Regarding the matter of travelers, Qiu Chen insisted on making a decision.

Qiu Chen chose Junshu instead of the older Junwen, which made Junwen's mood inevitably a little low. Qiu Chen saw it at that time, but he didn't say anything immediately, but discussed with Yang Shuyong and the brothers about all kinds of things that needed to be prepared.

After discussing all the details that could be thought of, the night was already dark, and everyone dispersed. Qiu Chen put the quilt in the bed to place Afu Aman, the two children couldn't hold it and fell asleep on the kang. Yang Shuyong Yang Shumeng sent Junwen Junshu back to the West Chamber, and walked to the gate of the courtyard with a tacit understanding.

Walking to the near gate, Yang Shuyong checked the latch of the gate, looked back at the main house that was a distance away, and made sure that the voice would not be heard by the sister of the main house, Yang Shuyong went straight to the topic and said: "Second brother, I know that you are afraid of any danger in this trip, so you rushed to go." But listen to what I'm going to do...... In fact, you yourself know that you are better than me in terms of management. Moreover, whether you are convinced or not, you have a better brain than me, but I can't stabilize my breath when I encounter something, this time when I go out, stability is the first thing. ”

Listening to the eldest brother's earnest words, Yang Shumeng couldn't help but redden, paused slightly, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Big brother, whether we admit it or not, after being away from home for a few years, especially after Lin Sheng is gone, Haitang thinks about things more thoroughly than us." This time, since she plans to let me go, she must have thought things through beforehand, and you don't have to fight with me anymore. Besides, this time, Mr. Xu went with him, and Chengzi followed...... Chengzi, this child, we have also seen it these days, although he is young, he is a clever and comprehensive person. Maybe it's like that, the family comes out, it's better than a few of our boys...... Also, after Brother Xu and Junshu and I left, my sister will inevitably worry about it, do you want my sister to have a fight at both ends of the house? In addition, you don't have to worry about me, didn't Begonia say buy a horse? In the past few days, the two of us have been touching each other, buying two horses with good foot strength, bringing a spare, there is a replacement on the road, not to mention, if this thing is not good, I will take Brother Xu and Junshu to run away, with our old Yang family so many years of experience in driving, but it is not a problem to save your life. If you know this, don't ...... anymore From tomorrow, you will be more attentive to everything at home, and after we go out, the family and my sister will have to rely on you to take care of it alone. ”

Yang Shuyong opened his mouth, but then agreed with red eyes.

After breakfast the next day, the Yang Junyong brothers and Erkui set up a carriage, first loaded Luo Buma, and sent it to Qingshui Town.

After Qiu Chen arranged for the helpers to extract raw materials to work, Liu Manyin made a special trip to the Lin family, in addition to sending the Lin family a white deed to buy land, and also told Qiu Chen that the village elders were very happy about the school, and this morning, they arranged for someone to invite Qu Shenxian to watch the day. Then, some period Ai Ai said, Old Man Liu Yugui said that it was time to prepare the building school.

Qiu Chen responded with a smile, and said that he would arrange people to follow the village carriages and horses to pull bricks and tiles, and Liu Manyin went with joy on his face.

The Lin family is only producing materials, and the carriages, horses, and manpower have to be arranged, and the old man Liu Yugui is old after all, and it is okay to think and think about it, and he has to be busy with all kinds of errands and contacts.

Near noon, the Yang brothers and Er Kui drove back with a batch of healing medicines. Qiu Chen watched the unloading of the truck, and at the same time took Junshu to inspect and receive the goods. Junshu is now basically familiar with ordinary sending and receiving, and when it comes to the quality of medicinal materials, because it involves the identification of drug varieties and quality identification, it is necessary to slowly learn and familiarize with it, which is not in a hurry.

At noon, a large family ate a fragrant stewed mule meat, and drank the mule skeleton soup, and everyone was full of joy.

In the afternoon, the Yang Shuyong brothers took Erkui again and loaded the healing medicine and transported it to the Huichun Hall. In the evening, when the Yang brothers returned, they brought back a message that the Huichun Hall caravan was scheduled to set off on the sixth day of the fourth lunar month. On Xu Changwen's side, the Yang family brothers also asked Huichun Hall to send Xin'er over.

Qiu Chen secretly pondered, today is the second year of junior high school, and there are still three days to prepare, so he is very nervous!

After a busy day, Qiu Chen watched from the sidelines, and saw that Yang Shuyong's expression was very calm, and he was also quite attentive to all kinds of affairs at home, so she pondered that Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng should have reached a compromise. No one spoke to her, and she also empathetically remained silent and did not ask.

Liu Manyin came to Lin's house again in the afternoon, and he made a special trip to tell him that the start date of the Jianxue Hall had been set, just two days later. Qiu Chen said politely, saying that he arranged for Erkui to follow him to pull bricks and tiles on the kiln and send him out of the door.

That night, the person who led the children to read and write was replaced by Junwen.

Lin Xu, Chengzi and the Yang family brothers and sisters together, the main house talked about various matters of this trip.

Early the next morning, Qiu Chen took Yinliang and his second brother Yang Shumeng together, and drove to Qingshui Town to buy some supplies needed for travel. Erkui followed the carts and horses in the village to Chengjiayao to transport bricks and tiles.

Before, the Lin family had already purchased a van, and now that the trip is approaching, how hard Qiu Chen thinks about traveling far away in this era, the weather is fine, and when it rains, the board car is not blocked, and the car will suffer from the old sin.

Because it is used to transport goods, Qiu Chen does not need a traditional closed box car for carrying passengers, and when he entered the carriage shop, Qiu Chen saw at a glance that several carpenters were making a box car, and the four corner box pillars had just been installed.

After that, Qiu Chen pulled the three carpenters and said in detail about her requirements, she did not want all wooden carriages, only required the lower part of the carriage to be wooden boards, the four corners were equipped with columns, and the whole cowhide was covered around and the roof, but the gaps in the cowhide must be handled well and not leak rain. Another special feature is that even the wheel is required to be equipped with two columns that can be disassembled freely, and the cowhide is fully open to protect the entire wheel, but it is also required to be able to roll up and put down freely.

In this way, the cowhide car is much lighter than ordinary vehicles, and it can be well sheltered from the wind and rain. With such a car, even if it rains on the road, the driver will not suffer. l3l4
