Chapter 016 Before Departure

The family had their own thoughts, and each went back to the house to sleep at night. I woke up early the next morning and got ready to go to town. At this time, Luo Youli had already gotten up for a while and packed up the things he needed. He also pushed out the small cart at home, and put the farm tools that needed to be repaired. After packing up, go get a few kids out of bed.

Luo Ran and the three of them had already packed up, and Luo Wenxuan was carrying a basket with more than a dozen duck eggs, as well as a hornet's nest and notoginseng, which were tightly covered with a towel. Luo Ran carried an empty basket to see if he could buy something.

At this time, it was still very early, it was just gray and not yet bright, and the Luo family had not yet eaten breakfast. Zheng hurriedly came out of the kitchen, wrapped some leftover vegetable dumplings from yesterday and a few cakes with a pot cloth, Luo Ran quickly took them and put them in the basket and covered them. "These are just hot, eat them on the road. The cover is tighter, and the heat is saved. ”

"It's a jug of water, put on the cart, and drink it if you're thirsty. On the way, you should follow your father, don't run around, and come back as soon as you are done. Zheng instructed Luo Ran and a few people over and over again, and even used flowers to scare a few children. Hearing this, Luo Wensheng only grabbed Luo Ran's sleeve, saying that he must be obedient and not run around.

"Mother, rest assured, I will take a good look at my sister and brother, follow my father closely, and not leave a step. We'll be obedient. Luo Wenxuan saw that Zheng had been instructing, obviously he couldn't put his mind at ease, so he quickly expressed his stance and didn't let Zheng worry. Actually, the town was very close to Luojia Village, and several of them had been there a few times before. Zheng thought that these children were gone, and he was no longer around, and Luo Youli might not be able to take care of it alone, so he couldn't rest assured, so he kept chattering.

Luo Ran had already put the pot and basket on the cart, and carried Xiao Wensheng into the car, asking him to sit with the basket containing duck eggs. looked at Luo Youli and said, "Dad, we're all fine, why don't you leave?" ”

"Hey...... Leave in a moment. Luo Youli was stunned, glanced at the Zheng family, and had to stiffen his neck into the main room.

In the main house, the old man and the old lady Qin had also gotten up, both of them were sitting on the kang, the old man was smoking a dry cigarette, and when he saw Luo Youli coming in, he said, "Second brother, go to the town to repair the farm tools, buy a few sickles, and then go to the grain store to inquire about the price of grain." Come back and tell me. ”

"Hey...... Dad, I know, you've told me a few times." Seeing the second child's answer, Old Man Luo turned his head to Qin, who was sitting on the kang and said, "You go and get some silver money, so that the child can repair farm tools and buy three sickles." ”

Qin Shi rolled his eyelids, raised his head and said, "Money, money, money, you know that you want me for money." As he spoke, he got up and took out the key hanging on his body, and went to open the large closet. He took out a small box with a lock, opened it, took out thirty-six copper coins, and handed them to Luo Youli.

"Mother, this-this money is not enough. A sickle costs 12 yuan, you have to buy three sickles, and you have to repair the previous bad ones, so you have to pay 6 or 7 yuan. Luo Youli took the money handed over by the Qin family, counted it, and said with an embarrassed face. Croppers have a good idea of the prices associated with them and know how much they need. These farm tools are basically the same price every year, and they will rise by a penny or two unless they are busy with farming. It's still more than a month, and the scythe is usually at this price at this time. Moreover, the poor are rich, and most people will bring more money when they go out, and they will not be able to pay just a little money, just in case.

"You still ask me for a few pennies, why don't you ask your daughter-in-law to get it." Qin Shi sat back on the kang and said loudly.

"Mother, Zheng's, Zheng's has no money in her hands. It's not that you don't know. Luo Youli didn't know why her mother said that.

"She has no money, she has no money to lie to you, a fool. The last time the in-laws came, the two of them nagged in the house alone for a long time, and didn't give anything to the Zheng family? In fact, what the Qin family wanted to ask more was how much money the in-laws gave to the Zheng family. remembered that the old man was watching from the side, and the word "silver money" that had been blurted out immediately on his lips became the word "thing".

It was more than a month ago. Luo Youli's honest head couldn't turn around now, and he didn't hear the meaning of Qin's words at all. The last time my mother-in-law came, I took a lot of things, eggs, fabrics, and fruits, but I took them directly to the main house, where is there anything to give to the Zheng family in private. I had to ask: "Mother, didn't all the things that my mother-in-law came to get last time get to the main house?" ”

Qin looked at his son, saying such a straightforward word, I don't know if he didn't understand or pretended not to understand. knew his son's honest temperament, and didn't hear the meaning of his words, but he was so lacking in heart, and he was fooled by the Zheng family and didn't recognize his father and mother. I think of the last time my in-laws came, although I brought a lot of things, it was the words that seemed to be someone who was greedy and wanted to get rid of that idea. The more I thought about it, the more I felt my anger rise, and I was about to explode, when I suddenly heard the old man's scolding voice: "Why don't you talk more and more unlikely, why don't you hurry up and get some money." ”

At this time, Old Man Luo was already on the verge of anger, watching his wife become more and more out of tune, and thinking about the money that his in-laws received from his daughter-in-law, he only felt that his wife's heart had been lost in the eyes of money.

The Qin family, who had been with the old man for decades, naturally knew that the old man was really angry, so he didn't say anything, so he had to get up and take out more than a dozen dollars and hand it to the second child. I thought about going back and cleaning up the Zheng family and asking the Zheng family to take out the money.

In Qin's heart, since the daughter-in-law is married, she should devote herself to her husband's family. Not only are you our Luo family, but your dowry and money, and some of your wealth are also from the Luo family. Since it is the Luo family, it should be handed over, and it should not be hidden. And his three daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is the most decent, she will be an official in the future, she gives face to her eldest daughter-in-law, never gives her face, naturally doesn't say anything, and rarely lets her do housework. The third daughter-in-law is lazy to eat, and she is usually not afraid of boiling water, and if she had a silver coin, she would have spent it cleanly. only has a second daughter-in-law, and her mother's family is still relatively wealthy, and she comes to help her daughter from time to time. And she is usually silent, and on the surface she looks weak and submissive, I don't know how to fool the second child in private to turn to her.

This mother-in-law with many eyes fools my heartless son every day. No, I must be honest and obedient to the cleaning up of the second family. Qin sat on the kang, although he didn't say anything, his face was already ugly.

Luo Youli looked at the faces of his mother and father, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to stand stunned. This is Luo Ran has sneaked in, she heard what the Qin family said, and she knew that the Qin family was still worried about what her grandmother brought to her mother. Not to mention that grandma didn't give anything or money to her mother in private, even if she did, it wasn't something you, as a mother-in-law, should be worried about. Luo Ran thought about it, and directly pulled the father who was still standing with his head bowed out of the door.

"Dad, if you don't go, it's too late." Luo Ran pointed to the sky and said.

"Hey, okay, let's go right away." Luo Youli looked at the daughter in front of him, and then he reacted.
