Chapter Eighty-Nine: Going Out (2)
Li Ziyu sighed, it seems that after the yard is repaired, it is time to add a carriage, where to go is too inconvenient.
Next year, I originally planned to build only the courtyard wall, but with the increase in the number of people in the family, it is already urgent to build a new house. It's not time to think about money exposure.
If the puppet shop can really open, I will definitely go to the town often, and I must have a certain grasp of the sales in the store while delivering goods. Which one sells well and which one is unsalable must be well known.
As their own rear, the home must be safe, so that they can run around outside without worries, and also allow their younger siblings to live in a relatively safe environment. So, the plan for the year after the year has to change.
The house and the courtyard wall had to be built together, and as for the annoyance, it was unavoidable.
Now he has two thousand taels of silver in his hand, and he will definitely have more in the future. She can't hold the gold ingots to ask for food, and she is still a poor person.
The relationship between her and Riri Red Restaurant is now on the bright side, and some gossip in the village is not enough to fear. Besides, if the puppet shop can really be opened, most of the families in the village will have to rely on her family to earn wages, and it is too late to be happy, where will they talk nonsense? As for a few, she doesn't have to pay attention to it at all, she is not silver, and it is impossible for everyone to like it.
Lu Zhong quietly drove the car in front of him and did not speak. Li Ziyu was able to think quietly about something in the car.
This Lu Zhong is really good, he doesn't say much, he still has work in his eyes, he is really a good choice for Mrs. Che. I don't know if he will have the will, but the choice of the coachman who bought the carriage will be a problem.
People who don't know the bottom of their own family can't enter, but where is it so easy to find people who know the roots? It is best to buy out the person, so you can use it with confidence.
Let's talk about it later, and I have to wait until the new house is built to buy a carriage, and now I seem to be thinking a little far.
Li Ziyu straightened up on the ox cart and looked at the land on both sides of the official road. Not to mention, the land in Nanhui County is quite fertile, the vast wilderness, endless, and every flat river is a plain. The wild grass in the field swayed slightly in the breeze, and occasionally a few pheasants ran in the field, which has a different scenery from the ravine and river stubble crisscrossing Shiyan Town.
It's just that, for some reason, the land on both sides of the official road is barren and overgrown with weeds, which looks very desolate.
The official road may not have been repaired for a long time, and it is very difficult to walk with potholes. Lu Zhong's driving skills are first-class, otherwise Li Ziyu would have been guilty all the way.
I didn't see a few people along the way. Also, it's approaching the New Year, and it's not a big set, who has nothing to do when they come out and do anything.
The only thing that makes Li Ziyu look comfortable is that there are towering poplar trees planted on both sides of the official road. Some of the unfallen leaves on the treetops made a rattling sound, which gave Li Ziyu a sense of intimacy and return.
may have been born in the countryside, and every time she is in the field, Li Ziyu has a sense of belonging. It seems that I should be rooted in the land, so I feel very comfortable. Li Ziyu sometimes laughs at herself, maybe she is this life, that is, the life of being a farmer, so even if she is dead, she can come to this Daye Dynasty to be a farmer strangely.
Along the way, Li Ziyu observed the surrounding terrain and found that if she wanted to ambush her, the only place was a small forest seven or eight miles away from Yang Erli Village, which was the best place. Other than that, it's a vast field that can't hide anyone at all.
It was about the end of the day when the ox cart arrived at Yang Erli Village.
But the Sun family, which Li Ziyu was guarded against, did not make any movement, and let her lift her heart all the way in vain. Not only did she smile bitterly in her heart, but she was really a soldier. When did you become so timid? What is there to be afraid of? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
For more than 30 miles, there is not a single village between Yangcaogouzi Village and Yang Erli Village, which is impossible in modern times. This shows that the population in ancient times was very scarce, and the reason for this is directly related to the short life span of ancient people. Coupled with the proximity to the border, young and middle-aged people have been conscripted as strong men, and the attrition of the war is the most deadly.
This can be seen from the fact that she has seen a lot of barren land along the way.
The land belongs to the imperial court, and the reason why it is barren is that on the one hand, it is sparsely populated and uncultivated, and on the other hand, it also shows that the ordinary people are still very poor.
If the land becomes one's own, even if you hire someone to cultivate it, you will not let it be left uncultivated.
The village of Yang Erli is very large, and it seems that there can be three or four hundred households.
The houses here are similar to those in Yangcaogouzi Village, and most of them are also grass houses. Probably because this is located in the plain, the courtyard walls of each house are not high, and they are only about one person high.
When the ox cart entered the village, a group of seven or eight year-old children were brought in, and they were screaming behind the ox cart, which was very novel.
None of the children in this group were dressed very well, and almost all of them had patches on their clothes. It's just that the cotton is not exposed, and it looks quite neat.
Li Ziyu asked Lu Zhong to stop the car temporarily, and she got out of the ox cart and walked towards the children.
"Little brothers, do any of you know where Yang Dahu's house is?" Li Ziyu looked at the children with a smile, and she felt that such a smile should be the most amiable.
Unexpectedly, when several children heard her ask, they all took a step back, and their eyes were all fixed on an eight or nine-year-old boy.
A five or six-year-old boy sniffed, whispered to the boy and said, "Four tigers, looking for your eldest brother." ”
The boy named Sihu glared at the snotty boy, and asked Li Ziyu vigilantly, "What are you looking for my eldest brother?" Who are you? ”
Li Ziyu smiled, she was really a child, and she leaked her bottom in one sentence.
"I'm his friend, I'm looking for him."
"Then you go back, my eldest brother is not at home."
"What? Not at home? So where did he go? Li Ziyu shouted anxiously, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
"Why should I tell you?" A sly light flashed in the eyes of the four tigers, and they turned around to leave.
Li Ziyu realized that she had been tricked by a hairy child, and she was angry and funny.
Li Ziyu took out a few pieces of candy from his arms and handed them to the four tigers. This candy cube was bought at the grocery store at the head of the village when Li Ziyu left the village, and it was also a rare thing for the Yang family to have children in case they had children. In ancient times, unlike modern times, only during the New Year's Festival, the family would buy candy for the children to eat, and they couldn't see it at all.
Li Ziyu wanted to inquire with a few children about the Yang family's residence, so she touched a few pieces of candy from the oiled paper bag that was wrapped in sugar cubes. Thinking about it is just asking for directions, and using sugar cubes to open the way is not immediately effective.
The four tigers glanced at the children surrounding him, but did not catch the candy cubes.
Li Ziyu understood, and took a few more pieces of candy from his arms, and the four tigers took it and said, "My eldest brother picked up my second brother" and wanted to run after speaking.
How could Li Ziyu let him go like this, he grabbed the sleeves of the four tigers without a trace, no matter how hard the four tigers tried, they couldn't break free.
"Brother Four Tigers, you're not interesting enough, I've already given you a candy bar, why are you going back on your word?"
"I didn't promise you, if you give me a candy bar, I'll tell me where my home is."
"You little devil is really interesting, okay, if you don't tell me now, you won't be able to go there, if you don't believe me, you can try."
The four tigers looked at the little girl who was not much older than himself, and somehow he had such a big energy, and he couldn't break free when he saw it, so he said, "If you let me go, I'll take you there." ”
Li Ziyu smiled slightly, and her hand loosened slightly. She wanted to see what other tricks this little ghost was playing, and she was now interested in the four tigers.
Thank you for not giving up! Your support is my biggest motivation! Thank you!
