117 There is a problem with the gold ingots!
Uncle Zhang was stunned, why didn't he understand this? The reward given by the yamen, why did the yamen give him a reward of silver, this is not right, he is not a member of the yamen.
Uncle Zhang frowned and asked: Mother, what is the reward, you make it clear.
Mrs. Zhang said happily: It's the reward given by the yamen, it was brought back by the second girl, and she also has a copy, this yamen is good, and she knows how to give a reward! Now our family can take a break with this money, your father is right, the second girl is a blessed girl.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang mentioned the second girl, Uncle Zhang remembered that day when he saved Xiaolu and saved a few children by the way, is it because of that?
Silver?
Where is it, is there really any silver?
Uncle Zhang asked Mrs. Zhang: Are you sure you really have silver, and someone has helped the yamen handle cases before, and I have never heard of giving silver.
Mrs. Zhang took out the tightly wrapped silver from under the bed, and then uncovered the cloth layer by layer, and ten taels of white silver appeared in front of Uncle Zhang's eyes, he stared at the silver and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Mrs. Zhang carefully touched five taels of silver and handed it to Uncle Zhang, and said, "Take it."
The cold silver fell into Uncle Zhang's hand, and he came back to his senses, mother, what are you doing with the silver? Just keep it!
Mrs. Zhang didn't answer him, but asked: Did the people of the Deng family find it? What about the ticket, did you take it?
Uncle Zhang was silent, and his love for the better fell to the bottom again, he lowered his head and said: No, I haven't found it yet, the Deng family ran away.
Ran away? They actually ran away? The fields and houses were sold? Mrs. Zhang was taken aback.
Uncle Zhang thought for a while and said: The house is empty, and the inside has been smashed, and I don't know if it is sold or not.
Mrs. Zhang suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Oh, this monk can't run away from the temple, let your brother watch in the yamen, if the Deng family wants to go to the transfer, detain the people, and let's go and settle the accounts with them!" Mrs. Zhang thought happily that it was convenient to have a son who was a fast catcher.
Uncle Zhang shook his head and said: No, let the second brother watch in the yamen, then what is it, this is not good, absolutely not.
Mrs. Zhang remembered that she hadn't told Uncle Zhang about Uncle Zhang's second uncle becoming a fast catcher, and Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said: It's not what you think, your brother, become a fast catcher! Mrs. Zhang is particularly proud.
The second brother is about to catch it!
Uncle Zhang's mood was a little complicated, he was naturally happy for his second brother, but his heart was inexplicably a little sour.
He listened to Mrs. Zhang's words, but he said: If the Deng family doesn't sell their land and land, it's useless to stay in the yamen.
Oops, that's true.
Mrs. Zhang was also worried, she thought of her golden beans for a while, thought about the fifteen taels of silver for a while, and thought of the second child's errand for a while, she wanted to grit her teeth and tell the boss that she would not redeem the things in the pawnshop, and the family would live like this, but she couldn't let go of the golden beans that had been with her for decades.
Uncle Zhang didn't find any trace of the Deng family, nor did he find the pawn ticket, so when the five taels of silver given by Mrs. Zhang were returned to Mrs. Zhang, he said: Mother, you can take this silver, and it can be regarded as making up for what was taken away by Deng Zhi before.
Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a long time, and then remembered that this Deng Zhi was the eldest daughter-in-law who was divorced, and she said to Uncle Zhang: Okay, this silver will be put here for the time being, you can remember, don't be soft on that woman again, although we have been together for so many years, but her character is getting worse and worse, and she must not want it again! Mrs. Zhang repeatedly told her that she was afraid that her son would fall into the way of the mother-in-law, and if he had children to worry about, he would inevitably meet again in the future, but ah, this boss's heart must be ruthless, or he will be taken advantage of by the mother-in-law.
Uncle Zhang said calmly: Mother, don't worry, I'm so old, you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and scolded: No matter how old you are, you are also a child in your mother's heart, okay, don't talk patronizingly, the kitchen has left you food, go and eat, your father is playing with Xiaohu in your house, and when you go back to the house, call your father back.
Good.
Uncle Zhang walked for a day, he was hungry, he went to the kitchen and brought out the rice, the dishes were all sandwiched on a plate, Uncle Zhang took out the dishes and put them on the stove, he took the rice and stood in the kitchen to eat.
After eating, he went back to the east house, where the old man Zhang was riding a horse for Xiaohu, and when Xiaohu saw his father returning, he hurriedly ran down from the old man Zhang, pretending that nothing had happened
Uncle Zhang taught Xiaohu with a black face: Don't ride your grandfather's back in the future.
Xiaohu lowered his head and hummed, he didn't take his father's words to heart.
Old man Zhang waved his hand and said: This is a trivial matter, just ride it, wait a few days, I won't be able to carry him, while I still have a little strength, I will carry it day by day.
Uncle Zhang couldn't cry or laugh: Dad, you can't be used to children like this.
Old man Zhang turned a deaf ear, walked away with his hands behind his back, and before leaving, he also said: Da Ming, remember to bathe Xiao Ming, he has been playing outside for a day today, but he has to wash up.
After Old Man Zhang left, Uncle Zhang stared at Xiaohu fiercely, and Xiaohu was uncomfortable with him: Dad, I didn't get into trouble today, what are you staring at me?
After Xiaohu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered one more thing: Dad, where did my mother go, did she go to see the doctor? When will her illness be cured, and when will she come back?
Uncle Zhang is a rough man, he said directly to Xiaohu: I divorced your mother, and she will not come to our house in the future.
Xiaohu raised his head and looked at Uncle Zhang: What does it mean to take a break?
Uncle Zhang thought about it and said: It's just that your mother won't come back in the future. After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Xiaohu with some this, he was afraid that Xiaohu would cry if he didn't see his mother.
Xiaohu was stunned for a while, but then ran out of the house all of a sudden, and Uncle Zhang immediately followed, he was afraid that something would happen to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu ran to Mrs. Zhang's main house, and he shouted in the house: Grandma, my mother will not come back in the future, where did my mother put my New Year's money, do you know?
This little money fan.
When Mrs. Zhang heard the words of the previous sentence, she was still worried that Xiaobao would make trouble for her mother, but when she heard the latter sentence, she was a little dumbfounded, but she was secretly glad in her heart that this stupid boy was not enlightened.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked Old Man Zhang to take out three copper plates for Xiaohu to appease her grandson.
Xiaohu stared at the three copper plates in his hand, pouted and said: Why are there only three, I get more than three every year, grandma, why do you still cheat my money!
Uncle Zhang carried Zhang Xiaohu out horizontally, and he also slapped Xiaohu's ass twice: Your money is in your mother's, not your grandmother's, if you say it again, I will return the three copper plates in your hand to your grandmother.
Xiaohu pulled the three copper plates tightly, thinking to himself, he won't give it, and the three coppers can buy sugar gourds.
Mother is really annoying, she actually took away all his New Year's money, hum! He also said that he would save it, and when he grew up, he would marry a daughter-in-law, and he would deceive people!
Mrs. Zhang raised such a foolish son, and she also found it by herself, who asked her to throw the child to Mrs. Zhang on weekdays, she was busy making a little money to pay off her parents' debts, and the child should not be close to her.
After Uncle Zhang took Xiaohu away, Old Man Zhang closed the door of the house, and Mrs. Zhang spoke: Old man, the boss said that the Deng family was with him, and he couldn't find it, so I will hang the matter of the ticket, or else, let's ...... Leave that thing alone, Golden Bean, alas, if you lose it, you lose it. Mrs. Zhang kept sighing after speaking.
Old man Zhang said: There are still two days, don't worry, when the second child comes back, our family will discuss it together and see what to do.
――
Sujia Village.
Su Yu's family not only played three quilts, but even Su Wang's new jacket began to prepare, Su A-Niang was relieved, she was boiling to help Su Wang make underwear, she was so old, and she was not afraid of her eyes being broken.
Su A-Niang's heart has been thinking about Su Wang's trip, and she even thought, did she do something wrong, shouldn't she agree?
However, she thought that if she could find Erniu, the life at home would definitely be different, so she was ruthless and still felt that it was good to go.
In the east side room, Su Yu is learning to make socks, and Su Dayu is making shoe uppers, she not only pastes several layers of cloth on them, but also adds cotton, and evenly puts the cotton with Buna, so that it looks smooth.
Master Su reminded in a low voice on the side: Sister, leave a gap and stuff the silver ticket into it.
Su Daniu glanced at Su Yu and said: In case the shoes are wet, this silver ticket will be given away in vain.
Sister, you can sew a layer of leather on the outside of the upper, doesn't there be cowhide or something like that in the shoe shop? Su Yu said.
Su Daniu stared at Su Yu's eyes and said: I haven't heard of that kind of thing, why do you have so many ideas for this little brain! After Su Daniu finished speaking, she thought of the unhappiness in the town again, she pouted and said: I don't want to go to the town again, there are too many bad people.
What, bad guys?
Su Yu asked: Sister, did you encounter something in the town?
Su Daniu listened to Su Yu's question, and said out the anger she received in the town, and she said with a straight face: The people in this town are too bad, dressed like dogs, and they want to steal my donkey, oops, the donkey I borrowed was forgotten at my uncle's house!
Su Daniu was extremely annoyed.
Su Yu's face was black: Sister, then you can go and bring the donkey back tomorrow, it's bad! Oops, the silver knife took away the donkey we borrowed in Lijia Village, and I have to pay back the money! Damn, I forgot about it!
Su Yu stood up and walked around the house.
When Su Daniu heard this, she laughed: It seems that we are all the same, but ah, Erniu, you should go to your uncle's house, I still have to take the soles of my shoes, your socks are very simple!
Su Daniu looked at Su Yu confidently.
Su Yu said helplessly: Okay, hey, what's the matter with this, if only our donkey could grow up faster, alas, so that we won't forget it in other homes.
Su Dayu nodded: Yes.
After Su Daniu finished speaking, she tapped Su Yu's forehead with her finger again: But don't forget, you, you will go to Zhang's house tomorrow morning to bring the donkey back.
Su Yu sighed and said: I know, I can't forget, sister, don't forget to feed the rabbits tomorrow.
I can't forget, it's all silver, you say, now we don't have time to go to the mountains to pick green fruits, will the green fruits fall to the ground when they are ripe? Su Daniu said with a frown.
What's the way, I still have to go out tomorrow, I can't ask someone to pick it, sister, otherwise, you ask Su Qing to help us pick it, and then give her five cents a day, do you think she will agree? Su Yu's eyes lit up, or find a few more little girls in the village to help!
We're just a big vat! There are too many green fruits to pick, and there is no place to make wine! As soon as Su Daniu heard that she wanted to give money, she was reluctant.
Su Yu thought that when the wild grapes fruited period passed, there would be nothing left on the mountain, and there would be no grapes at that time, and if he bought other things to brew, it would be a big expense.
Grapes, raisins!
Yes, you can make dried grapes!
Su Yu's eyes lit up, this can be had, if the grapes are made into raisins, then they can be used as snacks in winter, and they can be sold, this is a special product.
Su Yu glanced at Su Daniu, and thought in her heart, tomorrow when she leaves, she will go to the mountain to see what the grapes are like, if it is good, she will pay some money for people to help pick them, and they must be picked together with the stems, if they are ripe or rotten, then they can only talk about it next year.
On the mountain, in addition to wild grapes, there are also winter bamboo shoots on the mountain, and the winter bamboo shoots are made into dried bamboo shoots, or pickled vegetables, and kept for the winter to eat!
Well!
Su Yu thought about it a lot, but ah, there was no time to do it now, because Su Wang was leaving, and they were in a hurry to help Su Wang prepare things, alas, this matter had to be delayed for a few days.
went to see the grapes, to lead the donkey, to lose money, this night, Su Yu fell asleep with a stomach full of worries.
She thought very well, but the next morning, all her plans were disrupted, because, Su Wang came back, and when he came back, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he didn't feel soothed.
Su A-Niang saw Su Wang come back, but she was very happy, she took the underwear and compared it with Su Wang, her son grew taller again, she was glad in her heart, but fortunately she told Sister-in-law Wen that she wanted to make Awang's cotton clothes bigger.
Su Yu had dry food and water in her hand, and was about to go to Zhangjia Village again, of course, before she went, she would secretly go to the mountains.
When Su Wang saw Su Yu, he asked anxiously: Where are you going?
Su Yu said: The eldest sister left the donkey at her uncle's house, I still have to go for a trip, by the way, eldest brother, aren't you going to see grandma, why don't you go and lead the donkey, and also, do you remember the donkey we borrowed from Lijia Village, the donkey was taken away by the silver knife, he lost ten taels of silver, how much does a big strong donkey sell, one tael or two taels, let's return the money to the Li family.
When Su A-Niang heard this, she felt that this was also: Ah Wang, then you go to grandma's house, you haven't seen grandma yet, let's go and have a look today.
Su Wang's brows furrowed even deeper, what he thought was that the girl always liked to listen to the corner, and her mother and Xiaobao also looked at him, so they couldn't let them know about it, so they still had to tell the second girl quietly, because ah, this was related to the gold ingot.
Su Yu gave Su Wang all the dry food and kettle on his body: Brother, you can take it.
Su Wang took it slowly.
Su Yu turned to Su A-Niang and said, "I'm going to the mountain to see if the grapes are there."
Su A-Niang has no opinion: Okay, remember to come back quickly and make a few more pairs of socks.
Oh.
Su Yu looked like Su Wang had something to say to her, so she went out with Su Wang, and she could leave the village from the side of the mountain, but she would take a detour, and Su Wang decided to go from that side.
Walking and walking, he was a little far away from the Su family, Su Wang only then spoke, and he said with a white face: There is a problem with the gold ingot.
What the? There's a problem, it's impossible, we've bitten it, but the gold is real! Su Yu felt impossible!
Su Wang said with a calm face: Yesterday afternoon, I took the gold ingots to the money bank, ready to exchange the gold for the silver ticket, at the beginning I said well, the silver ticket was also changed, but then the people in the money village felt that the gold was not quite right, and thought of a way to get the gold ingot out of the middle, as a result, the gold ingot was hidden in the middle, only the outside was so thick that it was gold, but the inside was not!
Su Wang used his index finger to compare the thickness of his thumb.
Su Yu pursed her lips tightly, and she asked, "Brother, what is in the middle of the gold ingot?"
Su Wang didn't speak, he just reached out and took out a strange-looking thing from his arms, and then handed it to Su Yu: Look, this is it.
Su Yu took the thing and looked at it, this thing was copper, a small piece, convex and concave, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Su Yu suddenly said: Brother, do you think the other two gold ingots will be like this?
Su Wang smiled bitterly: Definitely.
Su Yu asked Su Wang again: Then have you exchanged this ingots for a silver ticket, and how much have you exchanged?
Su Wangdao: It's still changed, they only gave fifty taels, and then I will ask for this thing back.
Su Yu took this ugly thing and asked: What should I do with this thing, do you keep it or throw it away?
Throw it away. Su Wang didn't want to see this thing at all, because of this little thing, he was missing a few hundred taels of silver, and his heart and liver hurt.
After Su Wang finished speaking, he sighed again: The masons I invited are rebuilding the shop in the town, and the big pit, I am going to build a big earth kiln, anyway, it is deep enough, Erniu, you can remember, I renovated and rebuilt the backyard of the shop in the town, and built a two-story small building, and the shop is also, when it is built, you can remember to take their mother and them to live in the town, this winter will be in the town, there is a kang there, it will not be cold, so that I can rest assured.
Su Yu asked: What about the little things raised at home?
Su Wangdao: Bring it to the town, by the way, the one on the left of our shop is going to sell the shop, I thought, it's better to sell it.
Su Yu said with a bitter face: Brother, how much silver do we have in our family, can we afford it?
