Chapter 38: Find a way
Speaking of which, Tong Chuxue's impression of Luo Hui'an is not bad, he is smart and good to his younger brothers and sisters, and what is even more commendable is that he does not seem to have the concept that men are inferior to women.
In any case, Luo Hui'an has also helped herself, the so-called grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, she should also help the people in the third room when she has spare power.
Tong Chuxue put the basket on her back, explained to Xu Jinniang, and then went to Luo's house.
When she arrived at Luo's house, Lin Chunyan had just returned from delivering food from the field, and when she saw Tong Chuxue coming, she greeted her very warmly, "Snow girl, you are here!" ”
"Alas, auntie, I'm here to find Xiaoqing." Tong Chuxue stepped forward quickly.
"But I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, okay, I'll call her." After Lin Chunyan finished speaking, she shouted, "Xiaoqing, come out, you Sister Tong is looking for it." ”
Luo Huiqing, who was at the head of the house, heard that Tong Chuxue was looking for her, and ran out of the house with a happy face, but before she reached the door, she was scolded by Mrs. Luo in the house, "Qing girl, where are you going, the work at home is done, the clothes have not been washed, and the pigsty has not been shoveled!" ”
Lin Chunyan's face stiffened, "Mother, I'll do that work later." ”
Mrs. Luo's voice sounded even more dissatisfied, "What are you doing, you think you'll be fine, if you want me to say that you're a mother, you're used to your own children all day long, and you won't be allowed to do any work, a woman who can't work, how can anyone want it in the future!" ”
Seeing this, Tong Chuxue said loudly, "Grandma, I'll go out with Xiaoqing for a while and come back soon." ”
Mrs. Luo really didn't believe it, "Snow girl, you don't have any work at home, our family has a lot of work, and Qing girl is busy." ”
Luo Huiqing, who was standing in the courtyard, was neither advancing nor retreating, and her little face was wrinkled aggrievedly.
I saw Luo Hui'an come out of the house and walked to the main house where Mrs. Luo was, I don't know what to say, there seemed to be a few scolding inside, and soon, Luo Hui'an came out of it again, walked to Luo Huiqing's side, and said softly: "Okay, grandma agreed." ”
As soon as Luo Huiqing heard that her grandmother agreed, she immediately jumped to Tong Chuxue's side happily.
Lin Chunyan smiled at Tong Chuxue embarrassedly, "What my mother said, don't take it to heart." ”
"It's okay, auntie, how can I hold a grudge against what the elders said." Tong Chuxue smiled.
With permission, Tong Chuxue hugged Luo Huiqing and prepared to leave, but she didn't want Luo Hui'an to follow behind.
"You're coming too?" Tong Chuxue was suspicious.
Luo Hui'an coughed for no reason, and seemed to be a little weak-hearted, "Grandma said that if I don't follow, I won't let Xiaoqing go out." ”
This was said so reluctantly, Tong Chuxue naturally didn't believe it, but she was also crooked, she originally wanted to inquire about his situation through Luo Huiqing, but now that the main owner is here, she also saved this effort.
"How's your study?" Tong Chuxue asked.
Luo Hui'an smiled bitterly, "Where is it so easy, no matter what the family says, it is just a villager's family, if every child is provided for school, how can it afford it." ”
"So what are you going to do, give up?"
Tong Chuxue looked at Luo Hui'an, if he wanted to give up, she could understand, but she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"There's always a way, it's just a matter of taking more time." Luo returned to Andao.
It sounds like the other party already has a plan in mind, but what can he think of?
"Copying books and writing letters, although I have no merit in my body, these things can still be done." Luo Hui'an explained to Tong Chuxue.
Luo Huiqing, who was on the side, heard this, and looked at Luo Hui'an with admiration, "Big brother, you can still make money, you are so amazing!" ”
But Luo Hui'an didn't have much joy at his sister's worship, he just laughed at himself, the methods he can think of now are these simple methods, which are easy to say, but until he saves enough money, he doesn't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.
"By the way, why don't you broaden your mind a little?" Tong Chuxue asked tentatively.
"Broaden, thinking? Do you have another way? Luo Hui'an kindled hope.
Tong Chuxue smiled mysteriously and did not speak, but pointed in the direction of the deep mountain. The dendrobium in the deep mountains, one can get a hundred taels, even if you send him to study in the academy, it is enough.
Tong Chuxue thinks that this method is perfect, anyway, whoever finds the things in the mountains is anyone's with his ability.
Who knew that Luo Hui'an shook his head and refused, "I know you have good intentions, but the third room has not been separated yet, and the money earned must be handed over to Zhonggong." ”
Tong Chuxue didn't understand, "But you just said that you made money by copying books and writing letters, and the money won't fall into your hands." ”
"It's different." Luo Hui'an said, "Copying books and the like only earns a small amount of money, so you can discuss it with grandma." As you said, if others find out, the whole village will explode, and you and I will not be at peace at that time. ”
The two talked as if they were playing dumb riddles, and Luo Huiqing on the side was already confused, "Sister, brother, what are you talking about?" ”
But Tong Chuxue didn't have time to answer Luo Huiqing's question, Luo Hui'an was reasonable, she thought about things too simply, many villagers don't know about the fact that there is dendrobium in the mountains, once the news leaks out, every household will inevitably ask Tong Chuxue to take them to find dendrobium.
Dendrobium is already difficult to find, and the number is scarce, if all the families in the village want to make a profit from it, there are too many entanglements, and at that time, the entire Qingshan Village may not be able to have peace.
So the matter of Dendrobium must be hidden.
Luo Huiqing was left alone, a little displeased, and began to squat on the ground and sulk.
When Tong Chuxue came back to his senses, he saw that it was Luo Huiqing who was paddling around the ground with a branch. She touched Luo Huiqing's head and said comfortingly, "My sister was thinking about things just now, and I didn't pay attention to what you said, it's my sister's fault." ”
Luo Huiqing was a delicate girl, and after looking at no one around, she asked, "Sister, is there any treasure in this mountain that can be sold for money?" ”
Tong Chuxue was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Luo Hui'an said, "Don't mention this again, you shouldn't have heard anything today." ”
Luo Huiqing has always listened to Luo Hui'an's words, and although she has doubts in her heart, she still nods obediently.
A few people dug up some wild vegetables on the mountain, which can be regarded as completing the task, otherwise they will run into the back mountain for no reason, and it will be difficult to explain in front of people.
The sun was slanting in the west, and the mountain wind brought a hint of coolness, Tong Chuxue took the two of them to prepare to go back, and suddenly heard Luo Hui'an cough a few times, and suggested, "You don't have a good foundation, if you can get some Ganoderma lucidum slices and soak them in water to drink." ”
"I'm afraid that the Ganoderma lucidum in the back mountain has already been dug up." Luo Hui'an's expression was gloomy.
"Why?" Tong Chuxue asked curiously.
Luo Hui'an was a little strange, "A few years ago, a medicinal herb merchant came to buy Ganoderma lucidum at a high price, and people in the village went up to the mountain to pick it, and it is estimated that the Ganoderma lucidum in the entire mountain should have been dug up." ”
Tong Chuxue's eyes lit up after hearing this, there is!
