Ling'er pulled the old lady to go down the mountain angrily with her things, and she really wanted to throw those broken boxes on the ground and step on them, but the old lady dragged her body back: "Ling'er, slow down, slow down!" ”

Ling'er stopped and said angrily: "Mother, you didn't see that dog looking down on people, do you still want to go back and be angry?" ”

"Alas, you child!" The old lady sighed, "You told people that, what am I going to do when I go back?" Let's send the things to the old village chief and ask him for help! Let's go! Slow down, be careful not to fall! ”

The mother and daughter went down the mountain along the bluestone road and were about to enter the village when they heard someone shouting behind them: "Aunt Yang, wait, Aunt Yang!" ”

Ling'er turned around and saw a middle-aged woman shouting and catching up, wasn't that the sister-in-law Zhou that the old lady was looking for? When the old lady saw it, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhou, are you free?" It's just in time, this is for you, please take it back, and save us from bothering the old village chief again! ”

The old lady stuffed a few boxes directly into the woman's arms, and Ling'er handed over her own boxes for the old lady to reload. Sister-in-law Zhou held a bunch of boxes and tilted her head and said, "Oh, Aunt Yang, this is not given to you by grandma?" Why did you send it back again? ”

"Sister-in-law Zhou, rest assured, I have already taken Ling'er to find the old village chief, and when the rich young master is studying, our Ling'er will not go, and he will not delay the rich young master." This gift is too heavy, I can't ask for it, that's it, trouble Sister-in-law Zhou! Let's go, Ling'er, let's go back! ”

"Hey, hey, Aunt Yang, don't go! Aunt Yang ......"

Ling'er followed the old lady and left quickly, and Sister-in-law Zhou couldn't chase after her holding a bunch of boxes, so she could only do it in a hurry. When the two entered the village, Ling'er glanced back and snickered: "Mother, I didn't catch up, you slow down!" ”

The old lady also looked back, slowed down and said: "Ling'er, my mother told you, Wang Yuan's foreign family is not something we can provoke, and your father and I don't have any extravagant hopes, I hope you will grow up safely, and find a good family to marry in the future, and have more children!" If your father and I can hold our grandson, we won't live in vain in this life, you know? ”

Although I've heard this countless times, but every time I hear it tastes different, maybe I did cause a lot of trouble during this time, which made my father and mother worried, right? So she promised: "Mother rest assured, Ling'er will definitely grow up safely and safely, and she will definitely let you live a good life!" Mother, you have to take good care of your body and wait for Ling'er to give you a good day! ”

The old lady was happy, and said with a smile: "Good, good!" Your dad and I have been waiting! ”

In the next few days, Ling'er went to the old village chief's house for less time, Xiaohuzi's mother didn't let him come to her house, and there were few familiar people in the village, so she stayed at home honestly, in addition to helping her father and mother work, that is, reading and practicing calligraphy, Yue'er and Wan'er would occasionally come over, and the three girls would be lively together.

In the blink of an eye, in March, the ice and snow melted, everything recovered, the countryside and mountains were full of verdant green, seeing that Daddy's medicine was about to run out, Ling'er turned out the prescription left by Xu Banxian and studied for a long time, according to Daddy's current physical condition, it should be possible to change the prescription to a lighter conditioning, just in time for this month to pick medicine and dig wild vegetables again.

So, as long as the weather is fine, Ling'er will go out with a basket on her back and go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and herbs. This season has the most wild vegetables, Ling'er's family can serve fresh green leafy vegetables on the table every day, this is Yue'er's favorite, she has never eaten these things since she was pampered, so she will carry a basket early every morning to run with Ling'er.

The two of them went out together to find wild vegetables, but Ling'er was a little more concerned, she originally wanted to go to the vast mountain to explore the way, to see if there is a mountain, when the tree can be cut, when it is good to go into the mountain to cut wood, there is a month by her side, occasionally it will be in the way. Ling'er thought about it, since she couldn't enter the mountain, it was better to go to Banlin Town first to have a look and understand the market.

On this day, Ling'er took Yue'er to Banlin Town while digging wild vegetables, and when she arrived at the entrance of the town, Yue'er reacted and exclaimed excitedly: "Oh, Ling'er, look at it, there is a big town here!" ”

Ling'er smiled: "Sister Yue'er, this is Banlin Town, most of the town is engaged in timber business, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's coming, of course you have to see!"

The two of them carried the basket on their backs and entered the town together, the weather was warm in the spring, and the town was much more lively, and the guys who were still standing in front of the shops were shouting and soliciting customers, which seemed to be no different from the last time.

They walked all the way, the active Yue'er looked here and there, and every time they saw a strange thing, they had to make a fuss, but Ling'er, who was much younger than her on the surface, was much calmer than her, and just followed behind with a smile, echoing two sentences from time to time.

In fact, for all kinds of strange wood products in the shop, Ling'er is still very strange, such as wood carving, root carving, potted plants or something, these things that belong to the antique level in modern times are everywhere in this town, and the workmanship and skills are much better than the imitations polished by modern machines!

Suddenly, Ling'er was attracted by the two wooden round wheels in front of a shop, and she beckoned to Yue'er: "Sister Yue'er, Sister Yue'er, come quickly!" Look at this! ”

Yue'er stared at the wheel for a long time, "Ling'er, this is a wheel, what's so beautiful?" ”

Ling'er blinked and said: "Sister Yue'er, you see that my father and mother are old, and every time they go to the town to walk empty-handed, they will be tired, not to mention that they have to carry so many things, it would be nice to have a car!" ”

Yue'er thought for a while: "Well, too, your father and mother are indeed older!" But Ling'er, the carriage is very expensive, I heard that it costs ten taels of silver to buy a horse alone, and you have to feed food every day, which is a waste of money, do you have so much silver? ”

Ling'er shook her head: "No, but we can buy a car first, you see, isn't this a car dealership?" ”

Yue'er pouted: "What's the use of just buying a car?" Could it be that you can't pull it off? ”

Ling'er smiled: "The car with the wheels is not heavy, and people with a little more strength can pull it, don't you see that some uncles in the village rely on rickshaws to pull the cart?" Let's go, let's go in and ask! ”

The two of them asked the guy about the price, of course, this car is also divided into many kinds, there are special people to pull the car, there are also ox-pulled, horse-pulled, with guardrails, with carriages, two-wheeled, four-wheeled, can also be customized according to the requirements of the guests, etc., with different materials, the price is naturally very different.

Ling'er asked the cheapest, which was two wooden wheels and a large wooden plank, and the materials were also the cheapest, and the asking price was actually 500 Wen!

This made her a little surprised, the planks were obviously made of broken wood, except for the wheels with a bit of technical content, there was nothing difficult, Ling'er pestered the guy for a long time, and finally the guy reluctantly gave a fixed price, the minimum is four hundred and fifty Wen!

It's still a little expensive, Ling'er thanked the guys, and took Yue'er and walked a few more, the price is basically in this range, if it is less, unless you go out of the wood to ask the carpenter to customize, then it may be cheaper than half.

Ling'er calculated in her heart that she had received ten taels of silver from the noble lady last time, but she planned to use that as a backup, and she could not use it unless she had to.

And the old lady, because there is basically no income throughout the winter, I planned to sell firewood, because my father and mother can't move, and I don't dare to blatantly pick it to the town, so I didn't sell it, and it is estimated that the family's silver can have a hundred Wen!

It seems that the only way to solve the current economic problem is to go into the mountains and cut wood, first, to sell it for money, and second, to keep some good ones to make furniture, board cars, and so on. Ling'er made up her mind, and went home after shopping with Yue'er for a while.

When the two female dolls came home with a basket full of wild vegetables, they just arrived at the entrance of the village, and a woman exclaimed: "Oh, Yang Ling'er, why are you still jumping here?" Come home and take a look, Yan Erniang has brought a few men to burn your house! ”
