"Mother, I have a way, what do you think this is?" Ling'er took out a few ingots of broken silver and put them on the table.

Father and mother were startled when they saw it, and the old lady quickly stood up, rushed to the door and looked out, and then snapped the door shut, "Ling'er, where did you get these things?" ”

Ling'er bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Mother, actually... In fact, the last time I sent my little sister home, my little sister and his mother secretly stuffed a few pieces of silver into my pocket, I didn't care at the time, thinking it was just a small snack, and when I came back, I found out that it was silver. At that time, I had already given you 600 Wen, and I was afraid that you would scold me if I took it out again, so... So ......"

Father and mother glanced at each other, and the father said, "What six hundred Wen?" ”

The old lady hurriedly explained, "Old man, don't blame Ling'er, I didn't let her say it!" It was the last time Ling'er got lost, she sent a little girl home, and the girl's father gave her a reward for the silver, I wanted her to change it back, but the family ...... Alas! ”

Ling'er looked at his father with a blank look, wouldn't he have to return it himself?

She hurriedly said: "Father, mother, look at our house, the walls are so wide with cracks, and the roof is sparsely pulled, if there is a strong wind or snow in winter, it will definitely not be able to withstand it."

Although this silver is a little disgraceful, it is also voluntarily given! Why don't we use this money to build two rooms first, at least make do with this winter, and then slowly pay it back when we have money in the future, okay, dad and mother? ”

Ling'er blinked her eyes and looked at the second elder pitifully, the old lady blushed slightly, and the old man sighed: "It's all my fault that my body is useless, I can't give you a good life, but it affects you!" ”

"Dad, don't say that, if it weren't for you, Ling'er would have been out of this world a long time ago! Let's build a house, shall we? ”

Ling'er said it a few times, and her father finally sighed and nodded in agreement! So the family began to discuss the question of how to build a house, and so they discussed until the evening, seeing that everyone in the village was still packing up their things and going home, Ling'er took the old lady to sneak out of the yard like a thief and went to the back mountain.

When the two arrived at the abandoned courtyard, the old lady saw the dilapidated situation and muttered again and again: "Alas, how can this kind of place live in people!" Ling'er, why did you bring an old man to this place? ”

Ling'er laughed dryly, remembering that it had always been the old lady who objected to Dr. Xu coming from home! Ling'er found the place where Dr. Xu had been placed before, but found that it was empty, she looked around, and shouted as she looked: "Dr. Xu, where are you?" I'm Ling'er, Dr. Xu......"

Ling'er, who has been looking for a long time and still hasn't seen anyone, is a little anxious, this old man won't sneak away as soon as he leaves! Where can he go to an old man in this weather? Ling'er greeted the old lady, then ran out of the yard and rushed into the woods to look for someone while shouting, until it was almost dark, and the old lady chased after her: "Ling'er, Ling'er, come and see, what is this?" ”

Ling'er turned around and saw that the old lady was holding a white-washed rag in her hand, and if she looked carefully, it was Dr. Xu's baggage cloth, she took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that it was written in charcoal block letters: "Thank you, girl, the old man said goodbye, sent three prescriptions, and hoped that he would see him again one day!" ”

Below is a list of prescriptions in block letters, on which the alias, efficacy, shape and even whether it needs to be dried and how many days it needs to be dried are clearly written, and there are three different prescriptions listed according to the severity of the condition. If you pay a little attention, you'll find out that this is Daddy's prescription!

Yun Shu sighed in her heart, and the old lady hurriedly said, "What's the matter, Ling'er, that Doctor Xu?" ”

"Mother, Dr. Xu was afraid of affecting us, so he left by himself! He told me all the prescriptions and herbs he needed! In the future, let's just dispense medicine to my father according to this prescription! ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly: "I didn't expect this big brother to be such a good person!" Ling'er, don't worry, a good person has a good reward, he will be fine! It's getting dark, let's go back first! ”

Ling'er looked back at the courtyard as she walked, and her heart was full of melancholy. After returning home, my father was also embarrassed when he heard that Dr. Xu had left a message, saying that he must meet the old brother if he had the opportunity. Early the next morning, the old lady settled her father, prepared a lot of things, and carried them to the village to ask the craftsman who built the house.

Ling'er insisted on going, the old lady hesitated for a long time, and finally it was the father who spoke, and the old lady was relieved, but as soon as she went out, she muttered and nagged: "Ling'er, when you enter the village later, don't talk more than calling people, follow behind your mother's back, don't run around......"

Ling'er deserved joy on her lips, and she had already scolded the mouthy Yan Erniang in her heart. The mother and daughter entered the village, and the familiar villagers stepped forward to greet them, and the old lady responded happily, and Ling'er also called her obediently according to the meaning of the old lady, and stood behind in a proper manner.

The villagers were a little curious when they saw that the old lady was smiling for a rare time, and they were still carrying so many things, and a woman joked: "Aunt Yang, what makes you happy like this?" It can't be a good family for a stupid girl, right? ”

The old lady laughed and said, "How can there be! Our family Ling'er is only seven years old this year, what kind of family are you looking for! It's just that the house at home is too dilapidated, and I want to find a few craftsmen to help rebuild the house! ”

The woman was very surprised when she heard this, "Aunt Yang, it costs a lot of money to build a house, and your family has made a fortune?" ”

Ling'er hurriedly grabbed the conversation: "No, no, our house is too dilapidated, the cracks in the wall can be stretched into a fist, and the roof often leaks, Daddy said that the weather is getting colder and colder, and we have to hurry up and renovate it, otherwise we will definitely not be able to withstand the winter, right, mother?" ”

Ling'er winked at the old lady, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a dry smile: "Yes, yes, it's just a renovation!" ”

"It costs a lot of money to renovate, Aunt Yang......"

"Auntie, I'm sorry, we're in a hurry, we'll talk about it later! Mother, let's go, Daddy is home alone, we have to hurry back! Ling'er urged the old lady to walk away quickly, and the woman was still shouting at the back: "Hey, Aunt Yang, don't go, my child's father will build a house, come back to discuss!" ”

The old lady wanted to stop when she heard this, but Ling'er dragged her and said, "Mother, didn't you say that you should go to Xiaohuzi and his grandfather?" Let's go, let's go! ”

Ling'er pulled the old lady out of a distance, and the old lady said: "Ling'er, our family is going to build a house, and the big guys will know about it sooner or later, why don't you let your mother say it?" ”

Ling'er laughed dryly: "Mother, Ling'er didn't let you say it, but I just felt that our house hadn't started yet, and the village would be in an uproar, and if it was spread out, others would really think that our family had made a fortune!" Our house is simple, and it is some distance from the village, if we attract thieves, we will be in trouble! Let's talk about it after it's covered! ”

The old lady was startled, "That... Then let's not build it! Let's go, Ling'er, let's go back now! ”

"Don't, don't! Mother, you just let out your words, even if you don't build a house now, people will stare at us, it's better to build it openly, or you won't be able to live in winter! ”

"That's... What if someone asks where the money comes from? ”

"This ......" Ling'er thought for a while and said: "Mother, it's better to be like this, anyway, you told the big guy before, the last time I was lost, I met a nobleman, let's say that the silver was borrowed from that nobleman's family, okay?" ”

The old lady thought about it, slapped her face and said, "Yes, this silver was borrowed, and we must pay it back when we have money in the future!" Okay, let's just say that, Ling'er, don't talk about leaking your mouth when you see Huzi and his grandfather later! ”

Ling'er echoed the two sentences, followed the old lady and continued to go to Xiaohuzi's grandfather's house, by the way, intentionally or unintentionally, she talked to the old lady about the price of wages, material prices and other matters, and should also give her a preventive shot, so as not to give as much as others want later!
