"What's the cost of ten pennies?" A woman's voice came from outside. "Daddy, we're back." Aunt Li and the others heard the voice and went out to see that the eldest son Lin Hongwen and daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui had returned from their parents' house. The village chief has two sons and two daughters, and only the eldest son, Lin Hongwen, has become married, so they are not separated, but still live together.

Lin Hongwen and his daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui entered the hall and saw everyone there, "Dad, we're back." Lin Hongwen greeted Lin Changqing first, "Well, the in-laws are fine." Lin Changqing nodded, "It's all good, and my father-in-law also said that I have time to invite you to drink." "Then you go back to the house and rest, it's quite tiring to walk back." Aunt Li saw that the two of them were a little dusty all the way, so she wanted to let them go back to the house first. "Mother, my father-in-law brought back two fish." Lin Hongwen handed the basket of fish to Aunt Li, "Your father and mother are too polite, Qiucui, you go back to the house to rest, I made it for you at night." "Mother, I'll do it in the evening, you made lunch today." Liu Qiucui felt a little guilty, she left early in the morning, came back in the second half of the morning, and didn't cook at night, so she couldn't talk about it. As a daughter-in-law in this era, letting her mother-in-law cook is seen as a sign of unfilial piety.

"It's okay, we'll have lunch somewhere else." Hearing Aunt Li say this, the husband and wife were very curious, usually someone invited them to dinner, but they only invited Lin Changqing alone, and it was unusual for the whole family to eat elsewhere. "Sister-in-law, we ate at Xiaozhu's house, Xiaozhu's cooking is delicious," Ruyuzui quickly said where she had lunch today, "It's too full, it's okay to eat dinner later." ”

Lin Hongwen and Liu Qiucui looked at each other, each other had puzzled eyes, they had never heard of Xiaozhu. "Xiaoyu, who is Xiaozhu? I've never heard of this guy before. Lin Hongwen asked first, and Liu Qiucui also looked at Ruyu, "Xiaozhu lives in the west of the village, didn't she do her a favor in the past two days, making quilts and clothes, she invited us to dinner." Aunt Li told the reason before and after, in order to avoid the two of them from hearing gossip from the village without knowing it, "She asked your father to help with the affairs of the field, and she specially invited it, and others asked to say so." I'll talk about the rest later. With a wave of his hand, the two of them went back to the house.

Before returning to the house, Liu Qiucui's eyes swept over the purse on the table, and seeing that no one mentioned it, she pretended to ask Youqing casually: "Xiaoqing, is this purse yours?" It's so beautiful, yo, why is the material so smooth to the touch, it's worth a lot of money, right? As he spoke, he picked up a purse and touched it with his hand. It was given by someone else, and it didn't cost anything. Youqing didn't like the sister-in-law to ask in such a tentative tone. She thinks that this sister-in-law is good everywhere, she is clean and neat in her work, and she is also very diligent, and she takes good care of the family, but she is always careful about money and loves to be greedy. "Who is so generous and gives such a good purse, but how does this craft look like you made it?" Seeing that the sister-in-law looked like she was digging into the roots, Youqing had no choice but to say, "This is made of rags bought by Xiaozhu, she doesn't know how to do it, let me teach her, and I will send it to us, and my mother and I will have one each." "I didn't want her to take advantage, so Youqing made it clear where the purse belonged." This Xiaozhu is really generous, doesn't Xiaoyu have it? Didn't they go together yesterday? "I have it too, mine is the best-looking." Ruyu proudly displayed on the side. "Is this really made of rags? It looks better than the purse made of brocade material sold outside, and if it is sold, it will definitely be a lot of money. Liu Qiucui is very greedy, why didn't she give one more of such a good purse? How to say that there are four women in the family.

As if seeing what she was thinking, Aunt Li had to explain clearly in order not to let her misunderstand, "On the day of the market, Xiaozhu bought some rags, there were too few rags of good material, most of them were cotton, and I made five of them, and I gave three to our family at once, which I didn't want, but the child said that we helped make quilts and clothes, and Qingqing taught her to make purses, and she had to give us a thank you gift anyway." Xiaoyu played well with her, and she was asked to come by herself and Xiaozhu. When we come across rags for sale in the cloth village, we will buy them back, and we will give you one when we do it. Afraid that she would be jealous, Aunt Li hurriedly promised that she was still satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and she couldn't be unhappy for a little thing.

Although she was a little reluctant in her heart, she didn't show it after listening to her mother-in-law's words, she had no children for two years of marriage, her mother-in-law was very tolerant of her, and she never said anything. Besides, she didn't know who this Xiaozhu was, and seeing that her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't want to talk about it in detail, she didn't want to inquire anymore, so she and her husband quickly went back to their house.

After the husband and wife left, Aunt Li asked Ruyu not to tell others about Lin Zhu casually, Ruyu was still young, and talking to her about the reason would only make her confused, so she could only tell what she couldn't do. After saying that, he also let the two sisters go back to the house.

Liu Qiucui, who returned to his house, asked her husband who this Xiaozhu was, Lin Hongwen had never seen Lin Zhu, but he knew that the people in the courtyard of Xizhuang in Ludao Village had come eight years ago, and he had only seen Lin Steward, and he heard that he was taking care of a child, but that child had never appeared in the village. Listening to his parents at this time, he felt that it was very likely to be that child, and after Liu Qiucui heard it, he felt even more strange, didn't she have a father? Listening to her mother-in-law, it seems that she is the only one in her family, or she will not even let others help make quilts. After thinking about it, she had no clue, so Liu Qiucui had to think about asking it clearly in the future. Look at Lin Zhu is invited to eat again, and he is a purse, he is generous, maybe he can get some benefits or something in the future, his father-in-law is the village head, and people who have something to ask for will always give a thank you gift to the family, and they can get some benefits in the future, this is the case in their mother's house, after all, their father is also the head of a village.

There are only two people left in the hall, Lin Changqing and Aunt Li, "His father, do you have to let Hongwen and his daughter-in-law know about this little bamboo?" "Aunt Li thinks that this will be better," It's okay to say it, sooner or later, I will learn about Lu Dao, even if she has a relationship with her biological parents, don't talk about it, don't mention it in the village, let Xiaozhu deal with it herself, let's not interfere." Lin Changqing thought more comprehensively, Lin Zhu weighed and said it himself, it was better than them saying it, and some things that he didn't want people to know about could be hidden.

After Lin Zhu saw off the sisters Ruyu and Youqing, he also felt a little tired, and also went back to the house to lie down for a while. Lin Zhu, who was lying on the bed, thought about what the village chief Lin Changqing had said this morning, if it was time for the autumn harvest, he would have to pay for the short-term work, but he had said before that he didn't have a lot of money in his hand, and he couldn't work, so he would definitely let people finish everything, which was not something that could be done in three or two days, as far as she knew, if she harvested rice, two acres of land, a person could cut one acre a day, and after cutting, he had to tie it up, and then send it to the threshing floor to dry every few days, and wait until the rice was completely harvested, and the time for concentrated work would take five or six days. In this era, there were no threshers, pure manual work, and counting three acres of dry land, at least one or two silver wages had to be prepared, and it was necessary to take care of a lunch, which was another expense. The money in her hand is her most important guarantee, and she really can't expose it, it seems that she can only plan from food, and if she can, she has to think about making some money from other aspects.

To be able to make money, and to be low-key, how can an eight-year-old child who has never been out of the village behave more than an adult, what kind of cooking recipes does the heroine sell in the time-traveling novels I have read before, this is not practical for her at all, and the performance is too demonic to make people suspicious. She doesn't know how to embroider or anything like that, and she'll starve herself to death by her craft. On second thought, it's really hard to make money. In the end, Lin Zhu decided to do the easiest thing for him to be familiar with and have the capital in this era, which is farming. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, what should you be able to do after the autumn harvest, first of all, you must understand what the land you own is suitable for planting, and make a reasonable arrangement.

If you want to come here, you have mountains and fields here, what you can do in the mountains, what you can plant in the fields, and rely on these to stabilize for a few years, and then make plans when you grow up and gain a firm foothold here. It seems that it is time to take a look at your own "industry". Thinking of this, Lin Zhu suddenly remembered Doctor Zhang, as if he had heard him talk about it, he was collecting medicine from the mountain behind, and the mountain behind should be her property. You can also go up the mountain to see if there are any opportunities to create wealth. If you can find some ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and the like will be a big deal, but it's just a thought, even if there are these things on the mountain, they should have been attacked first. Besides, judging from the field deed in his hand, the back mountain is also called Xiaoqingshan, which is not big, and I haven't seen people from Linjia Village go to the mountain to pick something down, but I have only seen a doctor Zhang pick some worthless medicinal materials. Thinking of Doctor Zhang, Lin Zhu remembered that he had promised to invite him to dinner, and it seemed that he had to find time to go to the town to catch a market.

Lin Zhu, who decided to inspect the industry, wanted to start with Xiaoqingshan. However, you must first prepare things for going up the mountain, and the backpack is one of the most important pieces of equipment. Although she has the space in the stone house in the bamboo ring, she has to carry a backpack and pack some light things in order to hide people's eyes. I've heard Aunt Li mention that there are people in the village who can do this, and if you buy it from him, it will be cheaper than in the town. Lin Zhu planned to take a look the next day, not only for the back, but also for baskets, baskets, and wooden boxes, which were the best to buy from one person.
