Chapter 25 - Do You Have Money at Home?
Father Zhuang looked at his wife and children who were crying and crying together, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but to live in this world, he had to follow the rules of this world.
Can't hide.
"Okay, all sit down, and what needs to be said is still to be finished."
"We live in this world, if we want to live well, we can only climb up by ourselves, we have to earn by ourselves, and there is no point in crying."
"Zi'an, you don't want your father and brother and brother to be sent to the border, then it depends on your ability. As long as you can pass the examination before the government comes to recruit soldiers, your family will be able to be protected by you. You know, I didn't give you a task, but your current task is the most important thing in the family, you know? ”
Zhuang Zi'an stopped his whimper and looked at his serious father seriously.
"Son understood! I will definitely study hard and strive to be admitted as soon as possible, so that I can shelter my family in this troubled world. ”
Zhuang Zi'an said firmly.
"Come on, third brother, you will definitely be able to."
Zhuang Zihao looked at the little boy in front of him who suddenly became more and more mature and stable.
The third brother has changed, the words of the father and mother and brother broke the innocence of this little boy. made him more mature, and he carried a heavy mountain on his back at a young age.
Their words let him know that the world is not as beautiful and peaceful as he imagined, and that the present day is the calm before the storm.
They need to take advantage of this short gap and be as prepared as possible to survive the storm.
Zhuang Zi'an looked at his younger brother who was cheering for him and said affirmatively.
"I'll be sure."
Zhuang Yi looked at the sudden news, which made the children more mature and more sensible, and felt relieved and uncomfortable. Alas, I don't know, whether this is good or bad.
Su Huiniang, who was looking at the children with relief, suddenly heard the Xianggong next to her sigh.
When I turned around, I happened to see Xianggong's sad face.
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Yi looked worriedly holding his left-handed daughter-in-law with his right hand, and also held his daughter-in-law's hands tightly with his right hand.
"I'm fine, Hui Niang, don't worry."
The two looked at each other, with indescribable affection in their eyes.
After a while, they let go of each other's hands, and their eyes returned to the children.
Father Zhuang looked at the children who had adjusted their emotions.
"You all remember, this can't be spread outside. Otherwise, if we let those people know, we will be in danger, and if this matter gets out of us, if it is known by the government, it will be spreading rumors, and we will be taken into custody. Do you understand? ”
"The son (daughter) understood."
"Okay, let's stop here, you all have a good rest today, and tomorrow will be the beginning of the farming. The boys were left to work in the fields, while the girls stayed at home to look after the food they had recovered. We won't sell this grain for the time being, but will keep it first, so you all have to take care of it, but don't get drenched in the rain. Dad will go to your grandfather Hu's house first, and borrow the silver he needs first. Alright, let's all disperse. ”
Daddy Zhuang said tomorrow's arrangement, let them disperse, today's news is indeed too amazing, let's digest it well!
"Daddy!"
Zhuang Zihao heard his father say that he was going to borrow money, and suddenly thought, eh, I wasn't lucky to pick three purple lingzhi today, can't I sell this without borrowing money.
Yikes! Dad didn't mention the money, and I almost forgot about it.
Zhuang Zihao touched his head a little embarrassed. Alas, it's all to blame for the amount of information available today.
Father Zhuang, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly heard his son calling him. Something strange? What's going on?
The other people who were also about to disperse also looked at Zhuang Zihao.
Zhuang Zihao was stared at by everyone so suddenly. There was tension up.
I couldn't help but scratch my head and force my eyes not to look at everyone.
"Dad, you don't have to borrow money? Our family has money! ”
Father Zhuang listened to his son's words and stared at his son suspiciously. Does our family still have money? How I don't know. He turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law again.
Su Huiniang looked at her suspiciously, shook her head slightly, and said that she didn't know.
The other children also looked at their younger brother in confusion.
Looking at his father and mother, his brothers and sisters looked at him in confusion, he explained.
"Dad, mother, didn't I go up to the mountains to hunt today?"
"Hmm!"
Zhuang Zihao was a little embarrassed, hey, today's luck is so good, the family was about to use money, and he picked up something valuable.
"I've picked up the purple lingzhi, as long as I sell it, our family will have a lot of silver. I heard Grandpa Hu say that this wild purple lingzhi is very valuable. ”
"Purple Lingzhi?"
Zhuang Yi and the others were shocked when they heard Zhuang Zihao say that they had picked up the purple lingzhi, this thing is not common, it is a precious medicinal material with the same name as ginseng, if it is really this thing, then there is really no need to borrow money.
"Little brother, did you really pick up the purple lingzhi? You're in luck, aren't you? Come and let me touch it and get some good luck. ”
Zhuang Yunwei ran to her younger brother excitedly, wanting to touch Zhuang Zihao with her hand and rub some good luck.
"Why didn't you say it when you came back? Also, where did you put it, but you were seen by the villagers. ”
Zhuang Yi heard that it was such a rare thing, and asked cautiously.
Su Huiniang also looked at her son nervously.
As for the purple lingzhi, she only saw it once in the palace when she was a child. It's harder to see than ginseng.
"Dad, you can rest assured that your son will do things, I will put the Ganoderma lucidum in the basket that I will carry on my back. I've covered it with hogweed, and no one will know about it except for our family. ”
said that Zhuang Zihao was going to get the back basket he carried.
But after searching for a while where he had put the basket, he did not see the basket that he had brought back.
"Huh! I'll just put it here, why don't you have it, which of you will take it. ”
Zhuang Zihao looked at the disappeared back basket with a bad face. He was sure he was in this position, but now he was gone.
Zhuang Zihao turned his head and inspected the sisters.
Zhuang Yunqi looked at his younger brother with the wrong face, raised his hand weakly, and said curtly.
"I took it and put it in a pigweed barn."
Damn, what a false alarm!
Zhuang Zihao thought, fortunately he didn't lose it, otherwise it would have been a big loss.
"Third sister, then you go and bring the back basket, let's take out the things first, you can take it back."
Hearing that his younger brother didn't blame him, Zhuang Yunqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I almost did something bad with good intentions.
"Okay, I'll go get it, Daddy, you go to the house and wait for me, I'm afraid it's not good to look at this thing in this yard, and it's not good if someone comes suddenly." Go first, and I'll come right away. ”
After speaking, Zhuang Yunqi ran to the pig barn, thinking as he ran, "The legendary purple lingzhi, our family even has it." I'll be sure to take a good look at it later, and I'll have to touch it. Hee-hee! ’
Because the pigsty was in the backyard, I arrived in a while, walked into the pigsty, and found the basket that my brother had brought back. He picked it up and ran into the house.
