Xu Jiaojiao comforted Xu Zhang's and said, "Mother, the silver is gone, we can earn it again, if the fourth brother is gone, it will be too late to regret it." Mother, don't be angry about the silver, the important thing at the moment is how to get the fourth brother back, I'm a village girl who has never been out, do you have anything to explain when you go out? I'll go out with my eldest brother tomorrow, and I don't know much about the customs outside......"

If the silver is not silver, I will not say it first.

You still have to be prepared when you go out.

Xu Zhangshi gradually calmed down, "The farthest place my mother went to in her life, that is, to live in the house rented by your eldest brother and sister-in-law in their county for two days, I really don't understand what to pay attention to when going out." That's it, old girl, my mother will take you to ask your uncle Liao, your uncle Liao was a merchant in the countryside when he was young, and he went to many places......"

Xu Jiaojiao thought for a while, "Okay." ”

If you want to go out in modern times, you need a navigation and a map.

If you are not familiar with the place, it is important for someone to mention it.

The mother and daughter got up and prepared to go to Liaojia Village.

Xu Zhang also politely brought a few eggs, saying that he couldn't ask people in vain.

Along the way, Xu Zhang's still explained again and again, "Jiaojiao, when you go out tomorrow, don't hand over the silver to your eldest brother, take it with you, and the balance of sixty taels of silver received in the county, you must also hold it in your hand." Your eldest brother is not a thing, he speaks in a glamorous manner, but I saw him pulling outside, never pulling at home, you have to be careful, but whenever you want to make silver, you follow to see it, you can't say that he will give as much as he wants, you know? The eyes of the heart are a little longer. When he was a child, he was full of heart and eyes, and he spoke well, but no one knew what the hell he was in his heart......"

"I know, mother."

"Well, my mother smuggled that pair of gold bracelets with you, if you don't take them out, when there is a difficulty at the critical moment, you take it yourself and use it yourself, you can't do it without silver on hand, especially when you go out......"

"No need, mother, you can keep it."

"No, you must bring it, you bring it, and my mother will feel at ease."

Xu Jiaojiao is stubborn, so bring it.

I don't need it, and it's the same when I come back to Xu Zhang's family.

This is Xu Zhang's heart that loves her.

***

Something happened to the old Xu family, closed the door for a while, and then opened the door, Xu Youde pretended to be nothing, and under the old tree at the gate of the yard, he sharpened the sickle, etc., for fear that the neighbors would see something unusual.

Villagers greeting from all directions, congratulations to Xu Youde, this year's autumn harvest even Xiucai officials and their families have come back to help with the autumn harvest, and the people are prosperous, and they will definitely take back the grain early.

Xu Youde's stiff face replied.

Here, in the big room, Yao and Xu Darong are packing up their things in the house.

Da Lang and Da Ya are not there.

Da Lang went to see Xu Youde repair farm tools, and Da Ya went to show off in front of a group of mud-legged village aunts and cousins.

There were only two people in the house and it was very quiet.

Yao asked Xu Darong, "Darong, what do you think we should do now?" Why did the old girl go? Does she suspect that those boxes in our county are selling too much silver? Will she ask? ”

Xu Darong was upset, his face was full of unhappiness, "Let's go with her, she is a little girl's house, and she is at home because her mother covers her and loves her, what can she do outside?" There are few women who show their heads outside, I really don't know what my mother thinks, let a little girl follow......"

Yao's left and right looked at no one, and his voice was still quieter, "Yes, I really don't know what my mother means, she probably still feels sorry for the silver, after all, take so much silver out, let the old girl stare at it, and feel at ease." For the sake of silver, I don't even want the reputation of the girl's family, and I have to say that my mother-in-law is good, otherwise, who will want such a girl in the future! Tsk tsk. ”

"What should I do if I feel sorry for the silver? Isn't the fourth child saved? If I make a mistake, she may not save it, the fourth child is her own child, can she watch it and not save it? Xu Darong was not convinced when he thought about it, "I can't get used to hearing what my father said, count him as borrowing?" My sister is an unmarried girl, no matter how much money she makes, it should be regarded as the family's father-in-law, and it is reasonable to use it, so why do you go with your father to borrow it? ”

Yao echoed continuously, "That's the old girl is too ignorant!" How can I let my father and mother pull down their faces and ask for silver? If something happens at home, she should have taken it out willingly early, if the family is not good, what else can she do? What else does my mother say about the dowry or not, she secretly bought her so many acres of land, what dowry do you want? Which girl married with more than a dozen acres of land? Say it, people can envy to death, our eldest girl will marry in the future, I don't know if there are so many ......"

Xu Darong snorted coldly, "They want to hide their private money, okay!" Let them hide, the fourth child is in prison in other places, these two hundred taels are considered to be the beginning, and the case is about to die, where can two hundred taels be done? When the time comes, let the letter come back for two hundred taels, and then mention it to my father on the letter, the dozen acres of land that my mother secretly bought for my sister, if I sell more than ten acres, it is estimated that I can make up for it......"

Yao was dumbfounded, admiring Xu Darong tightly.

"As a family, you are still far-sighted, but you are afraid that the old sister will follow, and you will be restrained if you call for silver......"

"I'm not afraid of her. She is a little girl who has never seen the world, and she can be coaxed by casually. "He Xu Darong has coaxed Xu Jiaojiao for so many years, hasn't he all come over?

Now I look a little smarter, not the same as usual.

However, people are still the same people, their nature is difficult to change, how can they be really smart?

"Uh-huh, what about the silver sold in those boxes in the county town?"

"I'll just take sixty taels, and save the rest in the bank, and when the fourth child is done, we'll look at it again to see if we buy a shop or buy a house, and we'll see it when the time comes."

Yao agreed, "Okay! It's all up to you. I'm just afraid that I made a poisonous oath in the first place, and if it comes true, I will be worried. Those things also exceeded my expectations, I didn't expect them to be so sought-after, selling so much, I thought, at most, it's one or two hundred taels, I'll earn some errands, and then give us two sets of good clothes, I'm willing to ......"

Xu Darong glared at her, "It's only more than three hundred taels of silver, you are worried about becoming like this, you are still a talented lady, where is your usual cleverness?" Get that silver, we don't lose at all, these should be things in the public, I am the eldest son of the old Xu family, or Xiucai, I have won glory for the family, and it is also appropriate to spend the family's silver! If it weren't for Xu Zhang's stepmother, and she was such a character, I was afraid that it would be unsightly, so I endured it a lot. Otherwise, I want this silver, I want it, I can spend it if I want, how can I hide it like this! ”
