"Although there is relief grain issued by the imperial court, and the displaced people have been stabilized, but the price of grain is still like that, and it has not been lowered at all, how are you living in the county these days?"

I hadn't seen my third brother and sister for a while, and as soon as she entered the house, Xing Shi asked her.

Less than a month after leaving, Li's face looked a lot better, white and red, and seemed to be fatter.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on her face, and she immediately replied, "Okay, good! moved to the county seat, left their mother, and lived a good life! ”

"The county seat is much stronger than the town, although the price of grain is expensive, but we have an exclusive business, and no one else will make that rolling dough or rice peel!"

"This thing is also fresh, and on this recent day, the heat is almost breathless, and many ladies in the city have no appetite to eat."

"From time to time, you will come to me to buy food and go back! It's only been sold for so many days, and I've made a lot of money! ”

While speaking, Li made a gesture of ten, which means that these days, they have made a net profit of ten taels of silver!

Xing Shi was surprised, came back to his senses, and showed a hint of relief on his face: "That's good, that's good!" If you can live a good life, I will be relieved! ”

Although the rent of the third brother and sister's shop in the county town is not cheap, it costs five taels of silver a year, but it has only been less than a month, and they have earned so much money.

When the subsequent drought is over and food prices fall, people in the city will have more spare money, and business will definitely be better!

Li took out a silver ticket from his cuff and wanted to stuff it into her hand, and said at the same time: "Second sister-in-law, we still owe the money you saved Mei'er before." ”

"This time I went to the county seat, you gave another ten taels of silver, and now our business has stabilized, and the silver in our hands is a lot more abundant."

"You take the fifteen taels of silver tickets first, and you wait for the rest of the silver, and I estimate that I will be able to pay it back next month!"

On the surface, the Xing family only has a few hundred taels of silver, but in fact, the family has already had more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it is about to break 20,000.

These dozens of taels of silver really didn't take Xing's heart to heart, but she always remembered that when so many things happened in the family, only the third brother and sister's family helped her.

She didn't take the money, but put it back in the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "What are you and me polite?" We're a lot better now. ”

"You can save this money for Shiro, and when he is older, let him go to the academy to study, and he will come back after taking the exam in the future!"

Li didn't agree, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xing again: "Just listen to me!" It's not easy for you to make some money in the county, and the expenses are also large, so you can keep more money in your hands and feel at ease....."

To put it mildly, I finally persuaded the other party to accept the money.

For a while, Li's heart was moved and embarrassed, and he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: "Second sister-in-law, Erlang has now been admitted to Xiucai." ”

"Will he still be able to learn from the village school? If not, why don't you move to the county seat later, and we can still be companions or something? ”

"I heard that there is a county school in the county, and the gentlemen in it are all capable, where did Erlang go to study, maybe he will be able to pass the exam in the future?"

When it came to this, Xing hesitated and told the other party the truth: "Actually, ......."

After roughly explaining what her daughter meant, she said, "I haven't thought about this yet, I just think what Zhen'er said is right." ”

"When I go to Jingzhao, Erlang Saburo can learn more things, and it will be easier to take the exam!"

Li's brows furrowed: "Second sister-in-law, do you want to move to Jingzhao?" Now the road is unstable, and besides, she knows that she will ....."

Can you agree?

Although her father broke off her relatives by saying something, not to mention that the people in the village didn't take it seriously, even she felt that even if it was written in black and white, her mother should not take it seriously, and she still wouldn't take it seriously!

The life of the second brother's family is getting better and better, the eldest brother and the fourth brother ran away again, and his family went to the county to do business again.

How could she possibly agree?

Speaking of the Zhao family, the look on Xing's face lightened: "What if my mother doesn't agree after knowing it?" This kiss has also been broken, the field has also been returned, and our filial piety has not been given less. ”

"The love that should be repaid has already been returned, the feet are on our legs, we have to go, can she still tie us up?"

"That's right, but you also know that if my mother's temper is uncomfortable, if she doesn't make a big fuss and recruit the whole village, how can you stop?" Li said worriedly.

Xing Shi was silent for a few breaths and said, "When the day comes, I can't take care of so much!" ”

Li Shi thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he came up with an idea: "Second sister-in-law, or ...... Don't tell your mother about this, go quietly, and you can't do anything when your mother finds out! ”

Hearing this, Xing's face showed a hint of hesitation: "This.... Not quite right? ”

Li Shi looked disapproving: "What's wrong?" Just like you said, this family is broken, if you want to leave or stay, where can my mother care? ”

"At that time, if you don't worry about your mother and father, leave them some food and money, I will help you give it to your mother, and it will also save your mother's second brother from being soft-hearted and change his mind again!"

Xing's brows furrowed: "But in this way, my mother will definitely sprinkle all her anger on you, in case she detains you again and doesn't let you go back to the county seat, what can I do?" ”

Li Shi waved his hand, with a confident face: "Don't worry about this second sister-in-law, I can understand it now, my mother only has the fourth brother and silver in her heart, and I will have a countermeasure when the time comes!" ”

"That.... Well....."

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

The days passed, and it was the end of July in a blink of an eye.

Early this morning, after the family in the new house had breakfast, Xing looked up at the sky again when he walked out of the house with dishes and chopsticks.

muttered: "Look at this cloudy day, God is finally opening his eyes, is it going to rain?" ”

Ye Zhengming in the room also walked out of it at this time, looked up at the sky for a long time, and his expression was mixed with a hint of excitement.

Since yesterday, he has been going out of the house from time to time to look at the sky, and the look on his face is getting more and more excited!

When Xing and his daughter packed up their things and walked out of the stove room, they saw a bright white lightning flash in the sky above their heads.

This was followed by the sound of "boom" thunder.

The dark clouds overhead spread over the top of the head, gathering thicker and thicker, and pressing lower and lower, but it was only a moment's work.

The bean-sized raindrops are like full pearls, which can't wait to fall, getting bigger and bigger, and turning into a downpour in an instant.

The fields that had been cracked in the sun before were hungry and thirsty for the rain.

Ye Hao, who was walking towards her room, looked up at the rain curtain outside the verandah, with a heartfelt smile on her face.....
