Chapter 13 Preparing for Danger in Times of Peace (Revised)
86_86881 Thinking like this, she said: "If Bo Yi likes it here, then if Lord Zhao doesn't dislike it, you can often bring him over to play in the future, and we welcome him at any time!" ”
Zhao Zishen stood up after hearing this, Boyi quickly leaned his body on his lap, his hand protected Xiao Boyi's back, patted it twice, and then looked at Lin Yu and said: "It's not that we dislike here, it's just that this child Boyi originally stayed in Jiahe County with his mother." ”
When he said this, he stared down at Bo Yi, the corners of his mouth curved, and said: "Who knew that he was stubborn, quietly hiding in the carriage and coming here with me, I thought that Zhao Gen would send him back early this morning, but who knew that something like that happened again." ”
He paused, and then said: "Don't worry, I also like the beautiful mountains and rivers here, and I will never dislike it!" It's just that I'm afraid that her mother won't see him and her heart will not be steady, so I will let him go back first, otherwise as long as you don't bother us, I will definitely leave Boyi to bother you next time. ”
Although Zhao Zishen was born into a powerful family, he is different from ordinary rich and noble families, he is gentle and respectful, and he especially likes this countryside.
So his remarks were not meant to be perfunctory, but really had this in mind. After a short contact with Lin Yu, I found that the most rare thing in her beauty and wisdom is that she has good conduct and is thrifty and motivated.
The so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, although Bo Yi is young now, but if he can live and hone with them, this is something that no amount of money can buy!
As the old saying goes: Those who know people are wise and those who know themselves are clear, Zhao Zishen has survived in the secret battle since he was a child, and he has read countless people, so he is naturally not afraid to look at the forest fish.
When he had finished speaking, he bent down and picked him up, said goodbye to Lin Yu and them, and walked in the direction of the carriage.
Xiao Boyi stared at Qi'er's direction, his eyes full of reluctance.
After a few people watched the carriage leave, they came to their senses.
It was already past noon, and Uncle Zhu hurriedly helped Lin Yu pile all the food into the house.
Lin Yu felt a little guilty, because of his own affairs, he took up so much of Uncle Zhuzi's time, maybe he even delayed lunch now.
She and Ling'er Qi'er will eat something to fill their stomachs in the morning, but Uncle Zhuzi may not, they must still have two meals a day.
After buying so many things this morning, Lin Yu thought about cooking a good meal, and asked Uncle Zhu and Ling'er to eat lunch.
Who knew that Uncle Zhu shook his head again and again when he heard this, saying that the grandmother at home had already left him food, and he would have something to eat when he went back, and the conditions of Lin Yu's family were just better now, so he couldn't eat a little food for long, so it wouldn't be wrong to save some!
Lin Yu said that only the apricots were left, and Uncle Zhu originally disagreed with the apricots to stay, but Lin Yu pretended to be angry, saying that Uncle Zhu didn't look down on their family, so he kept the apricots.
No matter what era there are good people and bad people, Lin Yu is very glad that the first thing he met here was the simple and kind Apricot family!
The apricots had eaten lunch, but they couldn't twist the forest fish, so they had to stay. I wanted to help the forest fish get the food ready, so she went back, but who knew that the oil residue boiled out of the plate oil was added less than salt by the forest fish, and she swallowed her saliva because of the fragrance.
Under the constant persuasion of the Lin Yu family, she was embarrassed to take up the rice bowl.
After eating, the two chatted for a while, and Apricot asked what the two people were here for, and Lin Yu told her what happened after entering the town with Uncle Zhuzi today.
Finally, when it came to Xiao Boyi, Xingzi said that as soon as she took that Lord Zhao to Lin Yu's house, Lord Zhao took Boyi out of the car, and she looked at their rich and noble appearance, thinking that they would definitely dislike them in the countryside.
Who knew that Lord Zhao asked her to help bring Bo Yi to play, Bo Yi did not have the style of an ordinary rich young master, she introduced Ling'er Qi'er to him, and several people played together.
Bo Yi really didn't seem to have played in the countryside, and he felt strange when he saw everything, and he had a hot fight with Qi'er after a while.
Qi'er was also listening, and couldn't help but interject: "Eldest sister~ I think he's very funny~~ He likes to play with me, and I like to play with him!" ”
"But he's so pitiful, he hasn't even played with pinching clay figurines or digging crickets! Eldest sister, why do you say that they don't allow him to play with anything? Will his father still bring him? ”
Qi'er tilted her head and asked Lin Yu curiously.
"I don't know if he'll come, but their family won't let him play like you, probably because his mother thinks the mud is too dirty, it will ruin his beautiful clothes, and I'm afraid that he will hurt himself." Lin Yu tried to keep his words as simple as possible so that Qi'er could understand.
Qi'er still stared at her blankly, and asked, "But he's having a good time?" We didn't hurt ourselves either! ”
She had to say again: "Qi'er, their family is a little different from us, although he can't play like you, but their family can also give him some fun and delicious things that we can't see!" So what we see is not necessarily right, and his parents can't say that they don't let him play, and it can't be said that it's not good for him! ”
Lin Yu's words were not just for Qi'er, she also wanted Xingzi and Ling'er to know that everything in this world has two sides, and the side she sees is not necessarily right, but the positions of the two sides are different.
They may sound a little obscure now, but education has to start from a young age, and she hopes that they will grow up with a healthy outlook on life and values.
It's not something that can be known to them in a day or two, but as long as she instills some such concepts in them from time to time, I believe they won't grow too biased in the future.
The family finally discussed, saying that no matter who they would do in the future, their family should not feel that they were inferior to others. You can't bully others because you feel that you are better than others!
If Boyi will come to play, then their family will definitely welcome them warmly, let them know that although the country people are a little wild, they are also knowledgeable and reasonable.
After you can eat enough, the days go by quickly. After a few days, the vegetables and soybeans planted by the forest fish and apricots began to sprout.
The forest fish no longer have to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables every day, but the fish are still catching.
Uncle Zhu told her not to eat all the fish she caught, and after she got a certain amount, he helped her take it to the town and sell it.
It took a few more days for the forest to dig a small three-foot pit not far from the river, and draw water from the river into a small fish pond.
I can only keep a few fish, but I can finally stock them.
After Uncle Zhu helped her bring the fish to the town for the first time, he gave her back almost 300 copper coins, saying that the fish has 18 catties, and the current market is relatively good, and each catty can be sold for 15 wen.
The first time the forest fish tasted the sweetness of making money, it was out of control, and spent half of the day by the river.
The family finally made some savings by selling fish, and their lives were a little more stable. However, every time she looked at her mottled earthen walls and ventilated roof, she still didn't dare to let go of her guard!
Although spring has just begun now, as long as the spring thunder is blown, the spring rain will follow. Her house can barely survive now, but the rainy season is coming, and if it is not rebuilt or repaired in time, it will definitely become another big problem for their family!
Therefore, she had to scrape together enough money before the rainy season came, and even if she couldn't rebuild, she could repair and reinforce it!
Her heart had only been relaxed for a few days, and then she began to tense again.
When she asked Uncle Zhu Zi to help her sell fish again, she asked Uncle Zhu Zi about the repair cost.
Uncle Zhu probably gave her a number, saying that if it was still an earthen house like her family, it would cost about * two silver to tear down and rebuild, and it would be much cheaper to repair it, but the simplest one or two taels of silver would still cost more than one or two taels of silver.
Lin Yu went back and counted the rest in his hand, and couldn't help but feel too much pressure! Although I have made some money selling fish these days, it is a drop in the bucket!
Now the money she earned from selling fish in her hands, and the nearly 100 yuan left after picking up silver and buying grain some time ago, add up to only more than 300 or 400 copper plates, even if it is the cheapest repair, it is still more than one or two pieces of silver, and most of the food they bought has been eaten, and it seems that it is time to buy grain again.
Maybe the rain would come one day, and Lin Yu felt that she was getting more and more anxious, racking her brains to find all the ways she could think of to make money.
She thought of the blue brick house of the Apricot family, and she was envious in her heart, and couldn't help but think that if she could hunt like Uncle Zhuzi, maybe she wouldn't have to worry.
But this hunting is not something that ordinary people can do, otherwise there would not be only a few hunters in this Quhe Village.
Hunting requires strength, experience, and a mind, otherwise you will risk dying if you run into a slightly larger beast.
Therefore, most of the villagers would rather earn less than go hunting, and at most dig some traps in the places where some small prey haunts go deep into the mountains.
Lin Yu thought of this, but his heart became hotter and hotter. Shoot one or two prey, the cost of repairing the house is enough, maybe there will be a surplus, and she can not go into the mountains, just hunt some rabbits and pheasants around the area that have no offensive power, and the danger will not be too great.
She wanted to ask Uncle Zhu for advice, but she thought that they would definitely not agree to her going with her for her good!
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to ask Uncle Zhu Zi for some hunting skills, and then make a simple bow and arrow, and practice it by herself.
Lin Yu's ability to move has always been very fast, so thinking like this, she took the time to run to Apricot House, borrowed the bow and arrow that Uncle Zhu Zi had placed at home, and after careful observation, she had a good idea in her heart.
In the era of cold weapons, the bow and arrow were not only one of the most important weapons. A good bow and arrow process is complicated, and Uncle Zhuzi's bow and arrow is specially made by a craftsman.
Lin Yu had no money, so he had to cut down the bamboo by himself, and thought that although there was seven or eight miles to the town, it was just a twist and turn, and he should be able to find it after groping, so he asked Ling'er Qi'er to take a good look at his home, and quietly ran to the town to buy back the leather rope, and made the simplest bow and arrow with slightly weaker attack power
