Chapter 445: I have a car at home
Lin Changyuan went out in the past two days, went out to buy a horse, and had previously said that he would get a carriage for the family, and this matter had to be put on the agenda.
Recently, there is nothing important to do at home, so he will do this, not far from Wanhe Town, there is a town called Horse Town, there are many people in that place who raise horses, and now there are not as many as before, but the name of this town comes from that.
Lin Changyuan went there in the past two days, and went to the local area to pick a good one, and he could talk about the price more, if he bought it directly in Wanhe Town, he would have to make people make money.
This kind of thing can't be rushed, buying a horse is a big deal, if you pick it quickly, and someone else buys a sick horse, then the silver can be regarded as a waste.
So Wu gave him the silver and repeatedly instructed him not to worry, there was nothing important at home, just pick it well.
Lin Changyuan came back for three whole days, bought a horse directly in that town, and bought a carriage from the local area, because the local horse breeding, so there are many people who come to buy horses, and it also extends to other industries, and everything you want to buy is readily available.
drove his family's carriage back to the village, and many people came up to take a look, thinking that there was some noble person in the village, and when they saw that the person driving the car was Lin Changyuan, everyone was stunned.
Someone smiled and said, "Changyuan, whose carriage is it?" How did you get back in the car? ”
Lin Changyuan smiled, "Zijun and their mother and son went to the county seat, if they wait for the school to be on vacation, they will only see each other two or three times a year, and they went out to get a carriage back in the past two days, and they bought it at a cheap price, which is not worth much." ”
He drove the car away, and everyone said in the back, "Oh, look at the life of the Lin family, you see, now there are carriages, this is the first carriage in our village, no one has it, Gu Pingyong had such a good life before, and he didn't buy a carriage." ”
"That's right, who can afford this, I heard that just a horse will cost dozens of taels of silver, and the Lin family is really willing."
The other person smiled, "People have this ability, think about it, the Lin family has a weir pond, and the fish in it are to be sold to the restaurant, how much was sold before, the water has been stored, and the fish fry have been put into it." ”
"The Lin family has also planted so many new crops in the field, which were planted before all of us, and they must have earned a lot of money, plus a few children in their family are capable, and they raise silkworms and sheep every year, you calculate this account carefully."
Not many people know about Xuan's going to the county seat to be a cook, and this is also for the sake of her reputation, if it spreads, with the temperament of these women in the village, it may not be what it will become, so try not to say it.
If people knew that the Xuan family could still earn eight or nine taels of silver a month, maybe how many people would envy the Lin family.
Several people talked together for a while, shaking their heads, they couldn't enjoy such blessings.
This person's luck is really uncertain, just ten years ago, the Lin family was still a very poor family in this village, the land is not too much, the family has a lot of people, and there is a Lin Changqing studying, and there is no time to do work, and he has to keep getting money from the academy, pen, ink and paper, which are expensive.
At that time, many people were still saying behind their backs that it was useless for people to study, but now it seems that it is useless? Of course it's useful, I envy it, but my own children are not so capable, what can you do?
Lin Changyuan drove the carriage back to his home, and the children in the family were very curious and circled around the carriage.
Zijie said with a smile, "I've only seen a carriage in the town, and I haven't seen it a few times, but I didn't expect that we have it at home, this carriage is really beautiful." ”
The adults were also very curious, and they all looked around the carriage for a while, and Lin Changfu said, "Third brother, this carriage is very good, wouldn't it be good for us to buy such a good carriage?" ”
Lin Changyuan said, "Big brother, this is the most inferior carriage, I bought this carriage is made of ordinary wood, but I'm afraid it's too eye-catching, the horse is very good, but in the countryside, everyone can't understand whether the horse is good or not, I think this living creature is not easy to feed, if you buy it poorly, and you will get sick and die in the future, isn't it more distressing?" ”
Wu said on the side, "That's right, we have to buy better horses, we have all made up our minds to get a car, and we don't have to care about what others say, just live well in our own family, third, how much did it cost this time?" ”
"Mother, this horse was originally going to be sold for twenty-five taels of silver, I said that it was cheaper than two taels, and the carriage was cheaper, three taels of silver, a total of twenty-six taels, I carefully asked the horse seller how to raise this horse, and I also remembered it in my mind, and I wrote it down for a while, I am afraid that I will forget it after a long time."
Wu smiled and nodded, the family prepared thirty taels of silver, I didn't expect it to be spent yet, but it was still quite expensive, and it cost so much money at once, when their family couldn't eat before, they couldn't spend twenty silver a year.
Siqi also thinks it's quite expensive, the family's annual expenses, so calculated, if you put aside your previous life, this carriage is no longer a cheap car.
However, earning money is to spend, and if the family wants to earn more money, they have to go to the county seat often, how can they drive ox carts all the time? How much time does it take to get on the road?
Lin De was holding his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Since the horse has been bought, then take care of it, and then the farm will be idle, if there is nothing important at home, you can go to the county seat more to see if Zijun lacks anything in the county." ”
Lin Changyuan nodded in response, "Dad, I know." ”
The old couple went to the upper room, and Lin Changyuan said to Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui again, "Big brother and second brother, if you have free time, I will also teach you to drive the car, this carriage is at home, whoever wants to use himself to drive out is it, if I am the only one, it will be inconvenient for the eldest brother to take the sister-in-law back to his parents' house in the future." ”
Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui are a little embarrassed, they always feel that they are stupid, they are not as clever as the third child, and driving the car is also a technical job, if they don't know how to get it, and drive the car into the ditch, isn't it a loss of money for the family?
Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "You just don't learn, it's not difficult, I also learned from others before, I taught you carefully, and you will be able to get started soon, it's not difficult." ”
The two of them thought about it, but Lin Changgui patted his leg first, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you are willing to teach us, we will learn, as long as you don't think we are stupid, you have to say it a few more times." ”
He thought to himself that if his two sons could endure it, they would both go to the county school in the future, and if he couldn't catch the car, he wouldn't be able to go to see them, so he still had to study.
Lin Changyuan said with a smile, "Where are you stupid?" We were all born and raised by our parents, and we are all the same. ”
Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui smiled honestly, and the brothers began to say something else.
