Brother Antai has been as powerful as an ox since he was a child, and it is said that he killed someone by mistake at a young age, and finally Daddy Wuya had to tell him again and again, and asked him to swear that he would not do anything with people. That's when someone was injured.

I don't know if Daddy Wuya regretted teaching his son like this underground.

The locust tree in the yard grew so long that it blocked half of the small courtyard, and the locust tree was also called the ghost tree. No one would plant such a tree at home. But if it weren't for this locust tree with a thick waist in this yard, the Pearl family wouldn't have been able to buy it in this small courtyard.

However, thanks to it, the Mingzhu family can spend the hunger and cold of early spring with fragrant acacia flower cakes in spring.

The yard is swept clean, and water is sprinkled to prevent dust, which looks fresh and tidy. This is Brother Antai got up early in the morning to clean, the kitchen water tank has already been filled with water, it is very inconvenient to draft water here, you have to go to the hundred-year-old well four alleys away to draw water, and then staggeringly pour into the kitchen of the two chest-high (Mingzhu's chest) high water tank.

Except for Brother Antai, no one in the family is qualified for this job, which also makes Antai feel quite excited and feels that he can also contribute to this family. It's even more positive.

There was a missing tank under the tree, in which a few small fry swam through the gaps in the aquatic weeds. There are pots of oleanders around the tank. Let the small courtyard have more wild fun.

There are a few bamboo poles in the corner, which are covered with morning glories and open to the morning sun, red, purple, white, and lively. There are a few wild jasmine in the seemingly chaotic but rather wild mountain rocks below. At this time, there are already clusters of small flower buds, trembling in the dew.

Although the small courtyard is not big, it is extraordinarily beautiful, and the whole home has become lively from the original dilapidated and barren. This is a change that only came after the arrival of the pearl. But it didn't cost a penny.

The broken water tank was thrown away by Uncle Wang next door, and the oleander and wild jasmine were dug up by Antai with Mingzhu on a nearby hillside. At this time, Mingzhu knew that in this huge capital with every inch of land, there was such a wild hillside, although there were no wild things such as hares and foxes, but there were many mountain rats and weasels. There was a lot of wildflowers and weeds inside. Mingzhu is like meeting Baoshan, as if he has never seen the world, and he has moved back when he sees something slightly better.

And the small fry was also given by the neighbor Wang Yongwang, who went to the river to catch fish, and when he came back, he was seen by Mingzhu and took the opportunity to deceive a few fry the size of a little finger. Because there wasn't much meat, he went back to destroy cats and dogs, so he gave Mingzhu very happily.

The north house is the main house, and there are three rooms in total, one each for Pearl and Mrs. Wuya. In the middle is the living room and dining room, but few guests have visited.

There are two rows of slightly lower rooms on either side, two on the left and one on the left. On one side is Aetna's rooms and guest rooms, and on the other side is the kitchen and utility room. Behind the house are thatched huts and firewood houses, and chicken coops are also here. Now it's deserted. And the old hen who didn't have time to eat last night was also stocked in the middle of it.

After a while, Eniang got up, walked to the edge of the pearl with a trembling cane and sat down, picked up a few red ropes, tied them neatly to the bamboo pole in front of her, and began to get busy. The flying fingers and her crouched figure were particularly abrupt.

"Why don't you sleep more? Did the sound of my brother's martial arts practice wake you up? Mingzhu got up and helped Eniang get a cup of hot water and put it on the stone table next to her. Then he sat down and continued, his hands did not stop, his dexterous fingers flew, and in a short time, a simple prototype of a rope appeared.

When she was young, Mrs. Wu Ya was not very proficient in embroidery, but she was very good at embroidery, so she put all her energy into embroidery, and later because she couldn't get out of bed, she quit her job as an embroiderer. So Mingzhu also inherited her mother's good skills.

Earlier, when Eniang couldn't get out of bed, the family also relied on Mingzhu's embroidery and yarn to make a living. However, because of the limitation of vision, there are too few patterns, and embroidery consumes time and brains. After some hard work, I can only barely support it.

So after Mingzhu was reborn, his brain suddenly opened up, his mind became dexterous, his little head melons appeared countless tricks, and his little hands were also incredible, and he didn't look like his daughter at all.

However, Mrs. Wu Ya thought that she was not very proficient in embroidery at the beginning when she was a child, and it was later that she suddenly opened her mind, and this became a smooth sailing. It seems that the girl has also opened her mind.

Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that I was the happiest person in the world, a warm and soft maternal love, unconsciously poured into Mingzhu's body, looking at Mingzhu's small figure, listening to Antai's panting sound in her ears, Mrs. Wuya felt extremely comforted and satisfied. Unconsciously smiling, his eyes narrowed, and his face was folded with laughter. The meanness on his face is also a lot less, and it looks much milder.

After weaving the winding in his hand, a dexterous ending, another one was completed. After more than a month of repetitive practice, Mingzhu can now weave it with her eyes closed. It's time for some new tricks, more money, and even more so from last night.

After eating breakfast in a while, let's start a new weaving pattern, and after teaching Eniang, I still have to go out and clean up the mess from last night. Thinking about it, Mingzhu walked into the kitchen.

said goodbye to his brother and Eniang who wanted to follow. Mingzhu came to the most prosperous street in Sijiu City with a worried face.

Looking at the bustling pedestrians, Mingzhu really wanted to cry without tears at this time, and sat down on the stone steps on the side with a depressed face. I remembered last night in my head.

Last night Mingzhu had a whim to put the silver in the favorites. But as soon as he threw it in, he fainted.

After waking up in the middle of the night, Mingzhu looked at the Taobao app in a daze.

Hehe...... I'll go! Is this a blessing in disguise, or is it a snow mountain?

The hot four taels of silver didn't disappear out of thin air. Instead, he ran into his Yue Bao account. Here's the good thing: I've found a way to top up.

And the biggest disadvantage is: Nima~~~~ Boss Ma, you tell me clearly, is the exchange rate between your silver and RMB 1:1! It's too dark~~ Are you guys robbing money? Wrong, you're more than grabbing money, you're printing money by yourself~~~~

Yes, yes, the four taels of silver that my family earned in a month were exchanged for four yuan of soft sister coins. Bitter ~~~~

Thinking that I stayed up all night for a month, I only got the money for four buns, and the premise must be small buns,

Ah, hey~~ This is the rhythm of starvation.

Mingzhu shed all her tears and dried her blood, and then she had to face this cruel reality.

After rummaging through the collection of packages for a long time, I finally had to find a slightly less conspicuous hairpin. The hairpin with the words "Classical long tassel hairpin, imitation pearl step, bobblehead, ancient costume hair ornament, antique hairpin, free shipping" written on the outside of the package.

Take a breath first, peat~~ This name is too long. Isn't it just a pearl tassel hairpin? It's such a pretending to be so flying.

Although it is an imitation pearl, this bead is exactly the same as the real one, and Mingzhu has not scraped off the pearl-colored substance outside with a knife. I was complacent. The material of the hairpin is imitation silver. A large female fingernail size white pearl is inlaid on the top of the silver hairpin, and then there is a small silver ring at the top of the pearl that links the interface of the hairpin, and a chain with a ring pulls six slender silver chains, and the end of the chain is also dotted with several small and round pearls. It looks elegant and elegant. It should be worth a lot of money.

The little hand was hidden in the sleeve, holding the hairpin tightly, and the sweat stains from the palm of the hand soaked the hairpin. I hope the boss doesn't see that the hairpin is not silver. Mingzhu took a deep breath and stepped into the inconspicuous pawnshop.

The people in the pawnshop never cheat customers, and the poorer they are, the more they have something to sell. Rather than those ordinary people who occasionally take out one or two things that are not used for the time being as some silver circulation, they prefer the heirlooms that are taken out by poor guests with a face of pain or remorse or guilt.

As soon as Mingzhu walked in, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper saw that she was a novice from the apprehension on the little girl's face. That shabby but clean and tidy dress should be a maid from a down-and-out family or something. However, such a person may be a big fish.

"Little girl, what do you have to do? Take it and let the old man give you a palm. The shopkeeper touched the goat's beard and looked comfortable. It's a little tired at noon, so it's better to tease the little girl. Looking at her big flickering eyes, the goatee felt quite happy.

"Grandpa, I want to exchange some silver to help Eniang buy medicine" Mingzhu said timidly, her eyes rolled around, but she didn't dare to look at the old man.
