After speaking, he reacted: "Also? Has anyone in your school built a brick house? ”

"Yes, mother, it's still two-in!"

The young man thought of something, and leaned over to his mother and said, "It's Brother Ye Ming's house, his daily noon meals are good, either eggs or meat, mother, what will our family eat tonight?" Can you scramble an egg? ”

The woman patted her son on the back: "You know how to eat, what about schoolwork, are you done?" Have you learned everything that Mr. today taught you? ”

After asking this, her brows suddenly furrowed: "Wait, you said his surname is Ye?" ”

"Well, mother, what's wrong?" The boy asked rhetorically.

The woman did not answer, frowned and recalled for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then do you know what his mother's surname is?" ”

The young man thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "It seems that the surname is Xing?" I remember that someone in the school mentioned this before, mother, why are you asking this? ”

"Don't worry about this, go read to me!"

The woman drove her son away, sat on a stool and muttered, "Xing? How could it be so coincidental? I remember the Xing family at that time......."

..............

The busy days passed very quickly, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and that night, after the family had dinner, Ye Hao sat at the small table on the kang, taking a pen and writing things down in the small notebook.

After a dozen breaths, she calculated the result.

Turning his head and saying to Xing's family: "Mother, I have calculated, during this time, our family has bought the foundation of the house, green bricks and tiles, and the wages for other people, and then counts the food money spent. ”

"There are more than twenty taels of silver left in the family now, and I seem to be a little worse than the bricks and tiles, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight taels to count, and it will take at least seven or eight days for our house to be built."

"At that time, the salary plus food will also need a few taels, although the money for the tables, chairs, cages and cabinets is paid, but it is still a lot short, all added together, the family's silver is not enough."

The family spent a total of 165 taels on buying land, apricot trees, and cattle for a while.

Counting the gains from buying and selling wolf skins, the original silver in the family was only more than 280 taels, and more than half of it went out at this time, leaving more than 120 taels of silver.

Xing frowned, she didn't count well, she could manage a small amount of money, but she couldn't manage a lot of money, so her daughter had always been responsible for keeping accounts at home.

I thought that the remaining silver would at least be enough for them to finish building a house, but I didn't expect it to be a little worse.

Seeing her mother's hesitant appearance, Ye Hao smiled and spoke again: "Mother, there is nothing to be reluctant to, in the future, when our family earns money, you can buy me and Xing'er a better dowry!" ”

Xing sighed: "Then let's sell two golden hairpins first." ”

Although she has confidence in her daughter, she still has some bottomless in her heart before that day, but the current silver in the family is really not handy, but she still left three pairs of silver bracelets and a gold hairpin.

It's a big deal to wait for the house to be built, she will raise a few more little piglets, and she can save some silver when she sells it at the end of the year, and she can save for two years, and she can also buy a golden hairpin for her little daughter to save.

Ye Hao responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go to town tomorrow!" ”

"Can you do it yourself?" Xing was a little uneasy again.

"The town is not far from us, what's not to do?" Ye Hao finished speaking disappreliantly, lowered her head and picked up the pen to write down again.

...........

On the morning of the second day, Ye Hao dealt with a few bites of food at random, went out of the house, got on the ox cart at the entrance of the village, and went to the town.

On the ox cart, Sun looked at her, didn't know what to think, rolled his eyes, and leaned next to her: "Zhen girl is going to the town by herself today." ”

Ye Hao glanced at her and snorted lightly.

"Your family has been buying land and cattle for a while, and you have built a house again, and you have spent a lot of money, right?" Sun's eyes were full of temptation.

Ye Hao's gaze swept over the two other women on the oxcart who pricked up their ears, obviously also paying attention to this issue.

He said without moving: "Isn't it, it's not enough to spend all the money I earned a while ago." ”

"Even the gold hairpins and silver bracelets sent by the nobles have been lost, which is barely possible."

Sun frowned, and he couldn't ask what he wanted to ask.

"I just said, I thought your family had something to make a living..... "Another woman on the ox cart said with a smile.

Sun didn't get what he wanted to know, and pouted sourly: "Hmph, I know that the silver is not enough, so I don't save some flowers." ”

"Even if you build a brick house, you can still build a two-entry one, if you want me to say, it is enough to build a mud brick house, and the rest of the silver is saved, what if there is a problem?"

Ye Hao sighed melancholy: "It's not what I said, but my father wants to build a good one, saying that it is convenient for my brother and younger brother to be close to him in the future, and it looks bright, so we can only agree." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two women on the ox cart immediately said: "Your father is not wrong in what he did, our farmer's family, this land and cattle are the foundation of a prosperous family." ”

"Besides, this brick house is strong and durable, and it will not be bad if you live for more than a hundred years, not to mention marrying your brother's daughter-in-law, even if you marry your brother's baby, it is enough to marry a daughter-in-law."

Ye Hao echoed with a smile: "What the eldest mother said is right, my father also said the same." ”

If others knew that the brick house was proposed by her, these people who had just been in tune with it would change their faces in the next moment.

This is the sorrow of women, in this era, the only one who can stand out and be the master of the house can only be men, and if a man does something wrong, others will understand even if they will accuse.

But if women do anything out of the ordinary, the big guy's foaming stars can drown them.

With the support of the other two women, Sun could only roll his eyes sourly in the end, and remained silent, and the rest of the road was finally quieter.

The ox cart stopped at the entrance of the town, and Ye Hao was the first to get down from it, and said goodbye to the old man and the other two women with a smile, ignoring the Sun family, and turned around and entered the town.

Sun Shi on the ox cart rolled his eyes disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, what's the bull's anger, I don't even have any silver at home, and all the flowers are clean, so what's the matter, I see what you're doing!" ”

The other two women looked at each other, ignored her, and got out of the car and left.

Ye Hao's side, she got off the ox cart and went straight to the target, and soon entered the pawnshop, still the middle-aged man with an honest and honest appearance.

She swept her eyes over the shop and asked straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, I don't know what the price of your gold jewelry here is?" ”

In fact, if she could, she didn't want to be a golden hairpin in the town, but there was no way, every time she went to the county seat, she was followed by her relatives, and now the family was in a hurry to use the silver, let her go to the county seat alone?

It's good to think about it, and my mother will definitely not agree to it.
