Chapter Ninety-One: Competent
By the time Lin Xiaoman got home, it was already dark. She asked Pan Daniu to go back first, and she and Gu Yu were also going to go to Li Zheng's house the next morning to see how those large intestines were doing, and it would be convenient for Pan Daniu to help get into the car.
Back at home, Lin Xiaohan was already asleep! Lichun was bowing his head to make up something under the tung oil lamp, Lin Xiaoman saw it, and stepped forward to take the things in Lichun's hand. If you look closely, it turns out to be a pair of pants of your own.
Lin Xiaoman's heart was slightly sour, and he looked at the clothes full of patches on Lichun's body, but there were relatively few patches on his body. I was busy trying to make money during this time, but I forgot to change clothes for everyone in the family!
She secretly decided that the first thing she would do when she went to Baitou Town tomorrow was to make a few clothes for everyone in the family. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman said to Lichun: "Eldest sister, don't mend your clothes at night, don't talk about hurting your eyes, and you can't wear these pants." I'll go to town tomorrow and pull some cloth then, big sister, you can help us make new clothes!" ”
Lichun frowned and said, "Little sister, you can't spend money like this. These pants can be worn for another year if they are repaired, so give them back to me. ”
Lin Xiaoman pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "These pants are torn like this, so I won't wear them!" Money matters, don't worry, there is still money to buy cloth, don't believe you ask the second sister. ”
Lichun turned his head to Gu Yu suspiciously, and saw that Gu Yu nodded affirmatively. Although Lin Xiaoman said this, she still didn't give up, and said to Lin Xiaoman: "Okay! Little sister, even if you have money to buy cloth, don't lose this old one! Give it to me, it's good for me to cut it out and make it into a sole. ”
Lin Xiaoman was completely speechless by what she said, knowing that it was difficult for her to change her frugal character for a while. I could only return the pants in my hand to Lichun, and then said to her resolutely: "Eldest sister, it's okay not to lose these torn pants, but you are not allowed to do these needlework at night." ”
Lichun nodded helplessly in agreement, Lin Xiaoman saw that she agreed, and immediately squeezed towards her happily, and then hugged Lichun's arm and asked, "Eldest sister, what did you and Xiaohan do at home today?" Also, did you go to help us water the sweet potato seedlings in the back today? ”
Lichun nodded and said, "Today, I will help the eldest brother walk around this yard, and the eldest brother said that he was sweating all over, so he wiped his body and rested." I went to bed much earlier at night, and I didn't wake up after I went to sleep. I've watered everything you've planted in the back. ”
Gu Yu saw that the younger sister and the eldest sister were talking, so she went to the kitchen to take a look first to see if there was anything she needed to do. Lin Xiaoman was touching his head with Lichuntou, and while he was talking, the voices of Chen and Lixia came from the door.
It turned out that Dr. Huang had a patient today, and he came back late, and the guide was also late! After Chan taught Pan and Xu in the morning, he went home and got a hoe and went to the field. It was dark, and on the way back, Lixia happened to meet Chen, who was going home, and the two of them came back together with a smile.
When Chen saw Lin Xiaoman, he was overjoyed. "How is that town today?" Can the owner of the restaurant say yes? "She saw that Xu bought these many pigs and came back from the water today, and her heart was also up and down. You said that if Xiaoman didn't talk to the restaurant, it wouldn't be in vain for the Lizheng family to spend their efforts and money. ”
Lin Xiaoman knew that Chen was worried, nodded at her, and said, "Mother, in the future, you will let the Li Zheng family prepare three pigs to go into the water every day." Wash the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys, rub them with salt and put them away, and then I will take Uncle Pan to send these things you have made to the town every morning. I told the owner of the restaurant that every pig drain will be done, and it will be paid at 30 yuan. ”
"Thirty Wen? Xiaoman, are you true or false? The pig only pays a penny when he goes into the water, and sometimes it is even given away for nothing? Is the boss willing to charge such a high price? Chen was so shocked by Lin Xiaoman's words that he almost jumped up.
Lin Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "Mother, just put your heart in your stomach!" This price is personally negotiated with the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and you will go to Lizheng's house every morning to help for half a day until they can do it themselves! At that time, you didn't have to do anything at home! ”
Chen was amused by Lin Xiaoman's appearance, patted her arm and said, "You are stupid, your mother is not so good!" I only hope that this opportunity will make more money, and then all the things in the field will be sold, and then I will find a place to settle down. At this, she sighed.
It would be nice if there was a man in this house! At least there is a backbone, and whatever you do, you will feel at ease. It's just that she didn't dare to show it in front of her children. Her children are too precocious and sensible. These money-making jobs should have been done by her as an adult, but now, Xiaoman is much better than her. Since this child came to his senses, he is as sensible as an adult, and he tries his best to help the family make money.
When Lin Xiaoman heard that the Chen family actually had plans to move, his heart moved, and then said to her: "Mother, I also want to tell you!" The shopkeeper of the restaurant I went to, his family had an old house, and he said that it was originally for the people who invited him to live. I didn't expect that the person who invited me didn't live there, and now it's empty, and if we want it, we will sell it at a low price. I guess the price is not too high, and then we can buy it with a little more time! We'll move to that town first, and things will take our time! ”
When Chen heard this, he felt funny in his heart, how could he buy a house in the town without a hundred or ten taels of silver. But the youngest daughter said so excitedly and firmly, she couldn't bear to hurt the child's confidence, so she nodded yes.
"Our family Xiaoman is the most capable, and he will definitely be able to buy a big house for his mother to live in. At that time, my mother will also live in a big house and be a rich wife. After speaking, he rubbed Lin Xiaoman's hair.
Lin Xiaoman didn't keep up with his nutrition before, so his hair was very scarce and yellow. It's just that, after all, it's still a child, and the hair is very soft to the touch. As soon as Chen touched the hair, his heart suddenly softened.
"Mother, don't dig the sweet potatoes on the mountain! If Aunt Lin came to ask, she would say that I had already figured out a way to grow sweet potatoes on this flat land! Lin Xiaoman thought of the sweet potatoes in his space and said to Chen.
Although this money is not much, if you buy land and plant a lot in the future, it will also be a lot of income. And there are more things that can be made from sweet potatoes, but now there is no way to take out the sweet potatoes in the space in a normal way, so many ways to make money can only be stopped.
