Chapter 66: Buying Food

It turned out that Lin Lanxiang was the idea that Lin Da had two daughters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wang didn't think about this before, although those two girls were not liked by her, but in the end they were still her granddaughters, with the surname Lin on their bodies. Now I heard Lin Lanxiang say that she wanted to send Lin Chunfeng and Lin Chunyu to others as concubines, the Wang family knows what a concubine is, although it is better than an ordinary maid, but the status of that concubine is low, and even some girls with higher status are not as good, if the master is willing, he will sell you, give you away, or even kill you, you can't say anything. Even if it's the government, it doesn't matter.

The Wang family never thought of sending their two granddaughters to be concubines or anything, and when they heard Lin Lanxiang's words, they were stunned. looked straight at Lin Lanxiang with his eyes, and said weakly in his mouth, "Isn't that a sin?" and they will be struck by thunder from heaven. ”

Where did Lin Lanxiang take care of so much, a hint of ridicule tugged at the corner of her mouth, anyway, she was not her daughter.

"Mother, it's just two girls, whatever. Besides, in the end, the future of the two nephews is more important, once the two nephews become officials, the family can follow the scenery, it is you, in the village, the village chief has to speak well when he sees you. When the time comes, you will be the most blessed old lady in the city, there are maids waiting by your side every day, and you don't have to do it yourself to serve tea and pour water, how good. Anyway, our Lin family also raised two nieces and nephews, and they did something for the future of the Lin family, which was their blessing. Besides, now that the two nieces are still young, these things will have to wait for many years. You're kind to them now, and you'll be able to talk better in the future, won't you? ”

Wang's face was full of hesitation, obviously moved. She seems to have seen herself become a rich old lady, and thinks that Lin Lanxiang is right, the two granddaughters are still young, and it is too early to say this. Besides, it was the Lin family who gave them life, and it was only natural that they should repay the Lin family.

The Wang family took this matter to heart, and Lin Lanxiang didn't want to say it again, she came this time to have something important.

"Mother, my little sister is not small, and I will be in time in a month, should you also help see if there is a suitable person."

Where can the Wang family not take it to heart, and now, this old girl still worries her. It's just that there are no suitable people in the village, they are all digging in the soil, where can they be worthy of her delicate daughter.

Even the eldest daughter married to the town, where can this younger daughter be found in the village. When the time comes, I don't have to be complained by my youngest daughter that she is partial.

But he has no way, although his daughter is good in appearance and temperament, and she is diligent, but in the end, she is in the countryside, where can the rich and noble people in the town be seen.

Seeing that the eldest daughters in the village have all talked about their family affairs, but their own daughters have not been settled at all, the Wang family is really worried that her hair is gray.

Hearing the eldest daughter talk about it, Wang only sighed, "I didn't look at it, but if you look at the village, where is there someone worthy of your sister, not to mention whether your sister looks down on it, even I don't want to." My pampered daughter, where is it to send to other people's families to do hard work, where am I willing to do it. But you, now in the town, have no news. I also help your sister to inquire, if you get a good family, it will be very good for you. ”

What Lin Lanxiang was waiting for was Wang's words. Huan happily agreed, saying that he must pay attention to Lin Lixiang's own sister, of course, he also hopes that she can marry a good family.

Seeing that the eldest daughter agreed, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and said some intimate words, Lin Lanxiang stayed at the Lin family for a day, and went back after lunch the next day, of course, her hands were not empty.

Chen didn't know what the mother and daughter said, but after coming out of the room, Wang's face was a lot happier.

Chen couldn't guess either. I don't want to guess, but now she fantasizes that her family can build a new house, so that she can also enjoy the scenery in the village.

Since there was a spinning wheel, Sang Yu was not bored, and only sat in front of the spinning wheel to weave cloth every day. Occasionally, she would embroider something, such as a handkerchief, a purse, or something. The Jiang family has not seen Sangyu recently, and there is something going on at home, so he finally got free and went to Sangyu.

Now Sang Yu lives next door to the village chief, and even the village chief's wife rarely sees Sang Yu. It was Lin Dashan, thinking that winter was coming, and he went to the mountains to cut firewood every day, and the village chief's wife called him to stop.

It was already November weather, but Lin Dashan was still wearing single clothes, still coarse cloth. In fact, Sang Yu made him new clothes, but he was reluctant to wear them, saying that he went up the mountain to chop wood, so as not to stain the new clothes.

Seeing that it was the village chief's wife, Lin Dashan smiled innocently, "Aunt Li, is there something wrong?" ”

The village chief's wife approached and looked into his yard, the courtyard door was closed, and the village chief's wife retracted her gaze and said, "Dashan, why haven't I seen your daughter-in-law all this time, she is doing something at home, and she doesn't come out to walk around." ”

The village chief's wife still has a good impression of Sang Yu, that time Sang Yu had a heat stroke, and after getting better, she specially bought something to come to his house, saying that she had been in the village for so long, and she should come to thank the village chief for taking care of her. The village chief's wife knew that she was showing favor and thanked herself for maintaining her. didn't say much, he accepted the dim sum that Sang Yu bought, and when he left, he filled Sang Yu with a basket full of dried mountain dates made by himself.

The village has been saying that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family is a ruthless person, like the robber, who cuts her own family with a knife without asking. The village chief's wife has always been unbelieving, where is it so exaggerated, at most it is just a few words of argument with her own family, and it is rumored to be like this.

Now, Lin Dashan's newly built house is just a few steps away from her house, but she has hardly seen Sang Yu go out. In this village, women like to chat when they have nothing to do, the village chief's wife thinks that Lin Dashan has moved over, and Sang Yu will often come to her house to play, and a few girls and boys in the family often talk about Aunt Sang, but every time she goes, the door of the Lin family is closed.

When she met Lin Dashan, the village chief's wife asked by the way.

Lin Dashan never cared about these things, Sang Yu didn't like to go out, and there were no good sisters in the village, only the Jiang family. Recently, I have been obsessed with weaving again, and I am even more reluctant to go out, even to Jiang's place.

Unexpectedly, it aroused the concern of the village chief's wife.

Lin Dashan only felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Aunt Li, Sang Yu, she doesn't like to go out on weekdays. Recently, I've been weaving again, but I'm obsessed with weaving. If you want to talk to her, I'll tell her tomorrow and let her go to your house, so that she won't be bored at home alone. ”

He spends all these days chopping wood in the mountains and hunting hares and pheasants. Sang Yu only stays at home alone every day, and Lin Dashan is also worried outside. I hope that Sang Yu can go to the village chief's house to chat with the village chief's wife, and she can also have someone to take care of.

The village chief's wife was shocked when she heard Lin Dashan say that Sang Yu was weaving. Thinking about it carefully, could it be that because the house was built, the family had no money, and even had to weave their own clothes. I remembered that not long ago, Lin Dashan went everywhere to cut ramie, and picked up a large bundle of ramie to his home. They all guessed that he picked it back and dried it as firewood, but they didn't expect that it was Sangyu who wanted to weave cloth, so he cut back so many ramie that no one wanted.

In Kobayashi Village, ramie is not wanted. It's not expensive to go to the town to rip the cloth, and the cloth you weave yourself has no color, it's rough, and it takes time. Nowadays, there are very few young women in the village who can weave cloth, and only the old people in the village will have that little.

I didn't expect Sang Yu to be able to weave. This is also where the village chief's wife was surprised.

However, she had learned to weave cloth when she was in her mother's house before, and when she heard Lin Dashan say, she smiled and said that she would go to see the cloth woven by Sangyu when she was going to see it.

Lin Dashan agreed with a smile.

Sang Yu's interest in weaving cloth was very high, and the cloth she weaved was certainly not the rough linen that most people here weaved.

In fact, from Xiaolin Village, the people did not pay attention to this ramie, and only dried it as firewood, it can be seen that unless it is a poor family, ordinary people will not use ramie to weave cloth. The woven cloth is coarse linen, and it is not sold in the cloth shop. Sang Yu also bought cloth several times, but he didn't find any shop that sold linen.

However, her current material is only ramie. There are many materials of this kind, and it doesn't cost money, which is the best. But no one wanted the linen cloth that was woven.

Sang Yu only had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about it at all.

Looking at a piece of cloth that has been woven on her spinning wheel, the fine and dense twine is like a hair, neatly and orderly, the woven cloth, white and smooth, is as thin as a cicada's wings, at the beginning, although the touch is not as smooth as the cotton, but there is a different feeling in it, only people feel that they can feel the fine texture of the twine, but they do not scratch their hands.

Actually, it's just an ordinary shab.

Summer cloth is a cloth suitable for summer clothes. It is thin and breathable, and it absorbs sweat, so it is very cool to wear. Not only can ordinary people wear it, but it can also be made into mosquito nets, pocket screens, fans, etc., and you can also paint on summer cloth, which is also excellent. In modern times, the shabu is much more upscale than cotton or something.

Sangyu now only has ramie, so he can only make summer cloth. However, there are many different types of Xia Bu and different production methods, and what she is making now is the most ordinary and simple one. This kind of doesn't take much time, and in addition, her spinning wheel is also improved, although it is not as good as those modern mechanical looms, compared with the ancient old-fashioned, but it is more than many times faster.

There are so many hemp balls at home, and they must be able to weave a lot of summer cloth. There was no Xia Bu in this ancient world, and if you could sell Xia Bu, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money? However, he didn't have the money to open a shop, which was the thing that annoyed Sang Yu the most.

However, at this stage, it is better to weave as much summer cloth as you can, and the opportunity is always left to those who are prepared.

When the Jiang family came to look for Sang Yu, Sang Yu was still busy weaving cloth at home. Jiang didn't expect Sang Yu to actually weave cloth, but it scared her a lot. I saw that the cloth woven by Sang Yu looked smooth and delicate, and it looked very good, but I didn't expect it to be woven with ramie. After Sang Yu explained, the Jiang family was a little pity, in this era, who still uses ramie to make clothes. Although it is very well knitted, it still doesn't sell for much.

He didn't stay long before he went back.

Sang Yu weaved for a while, and felt a little tired from sitting for too long, so he stood up, beat his waist, and went to the yard for a walk.

The weather is getting colder, the north wind is blowing like a knife on people's faces, and Sang Yu doesn't go out anymore, hiding at home all day long, closing the door tightly. Lin Dashan didn't go to the mountains to cut firewood, but only occasionally went to the mountains and came back in a few days. When he came back, he had a big bag of prey on his shoulder, and now that it was snowing on the mountain, many animals did not come out, and he followed some tracks, but he could have a lot of gains.

Leave a little game to eat at home, and the rest will be sent to the town restaurant. Now that the winter is very cold, only Lin Dashan can collect some game, and the shopkeeper raised the price by ten cents, only letting Lin Dashan hunt the prey, and sending it to him.

Ten cents is nothing. One of his dishes is a few taels of silver, and some even a dozen taels or dozens of taels. He is not the only shop in town that sells game, but the ingredients are hard to come by. It's good to only stabilize Lin Dashan.

Fortunately, Lin Dashan is also a promise-heavy, and the game he got was also sent to the store.

There was only half of the linen cloth left in Sangyu's cabinet. Now, she had knitted more than a dozen pieces of cloth, all neatly placed in another room. She doesn't go out often, and even less since she moved. Only half of the people in the village knew that she could weave, and when Wang heard it, his face was full of disdain, and he was so extravagant and wasteful in inviting the whole village to eat before, but now, he can't even afford to make clothes. This is called self-inflicted.

I was very happy for a few days. When he met someone, he told him about Sangyu, but Sangyu himself didn't know anything about it.

Lin Dashan felt sorry for her tired, and in such a cold weather, although there was a charcoal fire at home, she still felt cold. The wind didn't know where it came from, but it was very cold, and when he saw that Sang Yu was still weaving, his little hands were red from the cold, and even his little nose was red. It's very distressing. The next day he went to the mountains, and after a few days, he carried back a bag of prey, among which there was a little fox covered in red.

The little fox should have been born for a few days, only the size of a palm, with round eyes that are dark and translucent, looking at you pitifully, really making people fall in love very much.

As soon as Sang Yu saw it, he fell in love with it fiercely, and held the little fox in his arms, gently stroking its smooth and soft fur with his hand, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Animals are not like people, they can tell who is really good to them just by feeling. As if feeling Sang Yu's pity, the little fox rubbed into Sang Yu's arms, yawned delicately, and fell asleep like this.

Sang Yu made clothes, and there were some cloth heads at home, last time Lin Dashan went to the town to pull some cloth back, and bought a bag of cotton, saying that he wanted Sang Yu to make a winter jacket to wear, but he himself was still very thin. Sang Yu was a little happy and a little sad in his heart, but he was afraid of the cold, so he asked him to go to the town and buy some cotton and cloth back. Lin Dashan didn't want to go, he could do whatever he wanted, so why waste money. Winter passes in a blink of an eye. Only Sangyu said that if you don't go, I will make two clothes from the cotton and the fabric, one for you and one for me.

Lin Dashan originally bought cloth and cotton for Sang Yu alone, but if he made two pieces, he would not be able to keep out the cold at all, and he would not be able to survive this winter. Sang Yu was originally weak, which was what Lin Dashan was most worried about, but he was stubborn. There was no way, Lin Dashan had to go to the town again to pull cloth and buy cotton.

This is the first time Lin Dashan has put on a jacket. In the past, even he didn't know how he got here. He hadn't worn a jacket for years, and he had forgotten how warm it was. Now wearing the jacket made by Sang Yu, it feels like wearing a whole warm quilt on the body, and even the heart is warm.

Sang Yu took out the rest of the cotton, made a nest for the little fox, and put it under her bed. The little fox was curled up in the nest, sleeping very soundly, and its big tail covered its body, which was very cute.

Sang Yu still had six taels of silver in her hand, and there was not much food left at home, so she took out two taels and asked Lin Dashan to go to the village to ask who wanted to sell grain. If I don't buy some more, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to eat wild vegetables this winter.

The villagers regard food as the most important thing, and now that it is winter, Lin Dashan walked through the village, but he didn't buy it. Even in the Ho family, there is no surplus food. Those who have surplus grain in the village dare not sell it. In the end, Lin Dashan still begged the Wang family. Wang looked at his eldest son, he hadn't seen him for a long time, but he looked a lot stranger, this was not a change in physiognomy, but a feeling that gave her, where it had become different. But when I took a closer look, I didn't find anything different.

Thinking of Lin Lixiang and Lu last time, Lin Dashan only sent a wooden hairpin, and Sangyu didn't even come, but the Wang family was half angry. Seeing that Lin Dashan took the initiative to beg for himself this time, or to buy food, Wang only felt a sigh in his heart, and he didn't even think about it, so he said that two taels of silver could only buy a hundred catties.

A hundred pounds? Could it be that the food in your house is more expensive than the pork?

Lin Dashan frowned, feeling that his mother was really shouting too high. Two taels of silver can only buy a hundred catties, even a thousand catties can be bought. Besides, my family is not rich now, and two taels of silver is not a small amount.

Wang saw Lin Dashan pondering and was silent. He rolled his eyes, and then said, "Boss, it's winter now, and who else will sell grain?" A hundred pounds is already overcounted. You're the only one who spent a lot of money, and now you can't just have a house and no food. You can't starve to death. In this way, you first give up your house for your second brother to live in, your second brother is also a scholar, so naturally he should live in a house that conforms to his identity, and I am not partial, and I will give you a thousand catties of food, which is also fair. ”

Fair? With your 1,000 catties of food, you want to change someone's new house, and you say it's fair, hmph, I don't know how the Wang family calculated.

Lin Dashan's brows furrowed even deeper, his eyes looked directly at the Wang family and did not speak, and the look in his eyes seemed to be saying that the woman in front of him was still not his own mother.

The Wang family is always remembering what Lin Dafa said last time, after that time, the family discussed it a few times, but the old man Lin didn't speak, no one could do anything, and he was busy with Lin Lixiang's family affairs recently, and that matter was temporarily put down.

If she can occupy Lin Dashan's house, she doesn't have to spend money to build a new house, besides, how much money will it cost to build a house like Lin Dashan, she is still reluctant. Although he wanted to take out a thousand catties of grain, Wang was still a little reluctant in his heart, but when he thought of such a big yard and such a good house, Wang was already moved. She wants to go in for a few days, too.

People who have always remembered Lin Dashan's wood in their hearts are very easy to fool. Lin Dashan glanced at the Wang family a few times, and then said that he wanted to go back and think about it, the Wang family knew that she was going to go to Sang Yu for help, and his heart sank, and he felt that Sang Yu would agree, after all, no one wants to starve to death, right.

And let him go back.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for Lin Dashan's news, the Wang family was also a little anxious, and finally she ran to ask Lin Dashan by herself, but Lin Dashan was not at home that day, and he went to the town to sell game. In the house, only Sang Yu was there. Hearing the Wang family ask about the grain, Sang Yu only felt that it was funny to die, and he wanted to exchange a thousand catties of grain for his new house, and he didn't know how the Wang family calculated.

The little fox came out of the nest and kept rubbing at Sangyu's feet, and raised his little head to look at Sangyu from time to time. With a smile on his face, Sang Yu took the little fox into his arms and touched its little head, the little fox seemed to be satisfied, and enjoyed Sang Yu's caress very comfortably with his eyes closed.

"Oh, you're talking about that, we've already bought food, so we don't need to worry about it. It's also very cold outside, so my mother should go back and rest early. That's what it means to send off a guest.

It's just that the Wang family wants to ask clearly, and they were originally planning to wait for Lin Dashan and Sang Yu to move out, so that they and their whole family can move in and live in a new house, but they didn't expect that they had already bought food.

There has never been a case of selling grain in winter, and they are eager to save it, fearing that if they can't finish this winter, who will sell it.

"You've already bought grain, whose family did you buy it? Isn't his family afraid that they won't be able to survive the winter? ”

The Wang family insisted on breaking the sand pot and asked to the end, Sang Yu glanced at the Wang family, raised his head slightly, and said slowly, "It can only be said that the price that my mother wants is too expensive, not only does a pound of millet cost 20 yuan, but we also have to pay for this house." This house has cost me so much money and so much effort, I can't bear it, besides, I haven't lived in it enough. I can only be sorry for my mother, I asked Dashan to go to the neighboring village to inquire, there happened to be a rich family with a lot of grain in stock, although the price is more expensive, but compared with the mother's, it is more than many times cheaper, and people are willing to help us send it over. Now, the grain is already in the warehouse, so I don't have to bother with it. ”

Sang Yu said as she noticed the changes in Wang's face. I saw that Wang's face was blue and white, and it was so interesting to look at the colorful ones. (To be continued.) )
