Seeing Zhang's worried appearance, Xu Lan comforted.

"Mother, now that the weather is cold, you can rest at home for the time being." She said, "We can sell the silver dan water again next year." ”

"Rest? What do you think our family is a rich family? Xu Dahai unloaded the large wooden barrel from the ox cart and shouted, "A copper plate is also money." ”

"You don't take out the one hundred taels of silver to subsidize the family, you hide and pinch, do you have to watch us starve to death before you take it out?"

He said angrily: "It's a small model, I don't know who I learned it from." ”

As soon as Xu Lan heard this, she knew that it must have been Chen who said a lot of similar words in Xu Dahai's ear.

"Daddy, let me ask you, even if I give you that silver ticket, what do you want to spend?" Xu Lan had expected it and asked unhurriedly.

"I ......" Xu Dahai was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

That's a hundred taels!

Thinking of such a large denomination silver ticket in his hand, Xu Dahai couldn't help but panic. Thinking about it again, he had to take it to the silver village in the county seat, in case he was snatched away, his legs and stomach suddenly became a little weak.

"I'll take it to your grandmother." Xu Dahai said, "She has been in charge of the home all her life, and she is always better than you little girl." ”

Xu Lan chuckled: "Dad, are you sure that she can use it in our house if you give it to grandma?" Don't you want to give it all to the uncle. ”

At this moment, Xu Dahai was silent.

Chen's partiality he knew from a young age.

Even when the Chen family lived with his eldest brother's family before, he would come over from time to time to look around, and if there were any new things purchased at home, the custody would be taken by the Chen family to Xu Dagui's house.

"Daddy, I'll go into the county tomorrow and save the silver ticket." Xu Lan knew that she still had to stay in this family, and she didn't want to stiffen the relationship with Xu Dahai, "I will exchange ten taels of silver for the family, and the rest will be stored in the silver village." ”

"Ten taels!" Xu Dahai touched his nose with satisfaction, "Ten taels is fine." ”

It's also a lot of money for him.

You must know that Xu Dahai has worked hard all his life, but he has not saved so much money.

Now when he heard that Xu Lan was willing to take out ten taels of silver to supplement his family, he suddenly became satisfied.

Compared with the fluttering silver ticket, Xu Dahai prefers the feeling of heavy silver in his hand.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Lan waited for the carriage at the entrance of the village.

She found that there were far fewer people going to the county seat than in the past.

Occasionally, a few people were holding packages in their hands, and their expressions were a little unnatural.

didn't wait long, Liang Wei came.

After he saw Xu Lan, he took off her back basket and carried it on his back.

"Here's for you." Liang Wei took out a small paper bag.

The small paper bag was pale pink, and a small osmanthus flower pattern was painted on it.

When opened, inside is a piece of osmanthus candy.

"Give me food?" Smelling the sweet smell of candy, Xu Lan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Liang Wei smiled: "Is it just for you to help me hold it?" ”

Xu Lan carefully broke off a piece and put it in her mouth.

Delicious!

It was sweeter and sweeter than all the candy she'd ever eaten before.

Sweet but not greasy, the fragrance of osmanthus has a strong milky taste.

Xu Lan wrapped the remaining osmanthus candy and prepared to take it back for Zhang and Xu Dawa to taste.

Seeing her so sensible and thrifty, Liang Wei couldn't help but say, "You eat it all, it will break when you touch this sugar later." My family has sent me a lot, and when you come back, you can go to my house and get it. ”

"Did your family send you something for the winter?" Xu Lan asked.

"Hmm." Seeing that Liang Wei saw that Xu Lan had a little sugar residue on her mouth, she couldn't help but quickly reach out and wipe off the sugar residue, "I gave a lot of things, I don't like to eat those fruits and pastries, give some to Aunt Xiaohua, and you can take the rest back." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liang." Xu Lan smiled, "Then we have a mouthful." ”

She pondered in her heart that she couldn't take Liang Wei's things for nothing, and it just so happened that the fish in the space had grown, and she would make a fish and send it to him at night.

When the two said this, time flew by, and before they knew it, the county seat had arrived.

The people in the same car hurriedly got out of the car and hurried towards the pawnshop.

"The people in the village are starting to be things." Xu Lan said in a low voice, "This year's harvest doesn't look good." ”

"Well, after the autumn harvest starts after a while, I'm afraid there will be more people who come to be things." Liang Wei said, "At that time, even the best things had to be sold cheaply, but now those who come can get some more money." ”

Thinking of the listless dealers in the farmland in the village, Xu Lan couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother Liang, I'm going to buy some food and put it at Grandpa Lizheng, what do you think?" Xu Lan asked.

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Brother Liang, you also know that I got a lot of silver for the Long family's treatment." Xu Lan said, "I'm going to buy some food and put it away." But you also know the situation in my family, as far as my grandmother is, if anyone in the village can't eat in the future, I want to take food to help, she will definitely refuse. ”

"So I want to buy some food and put it at Grandpa Lizheng, so I said that you bought it, Brother Liang."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lan looked at Liang Wei with a blank eye, for fear that he would not agree.

Liang Wei said noncommittally: "Why don't you tell Li that you bought it?" ”

"It's all from the same village, my family used to be very poor, and now that I suddenly take out so much food, I'm afraid that many people will feel uncomfortable." Xu Lan honestly said what she thought in her heart, "I just want to spend this year safely, take care of my family, complete the homework of the forest officials, and no longer make extraneous branches." ”

Although it is a bit too realistic to say this, Xu Lan knows that people's hearts are changeable.

Now the people in the village have received her kindness, and their attitude has changed much better. But if the family suddenly reveals its wealth, I am afraid that there will be a question mark about what the villagers think.

Xu Lan now vaguely felt it.

Since she was accepted as a registered disciple by Lin Yimu in public, the girls in the village who were about her age had quietly alienated her.

It's not that they have any bad intentions, but it's just human nature.

This made Xu Lan feel that it was better to keep a low profile.

After all, they have to stay in the village for a year, and their family will not move away, and it is better to have more than less.

"Okay." After Liang Wei listened, he had a high opinion of Xu Lan in his heart.

Figuring out people's hearts is a lesson he learned since he was a child, but he didn't expect Xu Lan, a little girl, to figure out some ways now.

"I will also pay for food." After all, Liang Wei also lives in the village, and his family will send things from time to time, for fear that he will suffer outside, but he is not worried about the winter.

But Liang Wei is not hard-hearted, if he can help, he is also willing.

The two of them whispered in a low voice as they walked towards Long's house.
