After eating, Mrs. Liu and her party left the courtyard.

As soon as I left, the house was a little deserted.

Lin Mancang looked at the eldest sister who was picking up on the stove, and hesitated for a while before walking over. He picked up the stacked dishes and chopsticks into the basket, and pondered the words he had been holding in his heart all day.

"The son of the Liu family is not happy, and he is shrinking with a black face on the table today, and he can't stand it in the future. You ......"

Lin Mancang remembered what he said before, what to find a good place for the girl, what to play and eat flowers and wine, all day in the green. There are ...... in the gambling hall in the building

This kind of person, no matter how big the family business is, no matter how much his mother looks up to his sister, he can't be a good person to rely on.

Besides, Lin Mancang also felt in his heart that Liu Shulai was not worthy of a sister at all. That kind of bastard, if it weren't for the inheritance left by his ancestors, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be as good as a bedbug.

He felt a little unfair in his heart, lest his sister would compromise for the sake of the family.

Lin Baoru shook the water beads in his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, if you calculate it carefully, although he is not in tune, it is not necessarily a good choice." ”

"Let's not say that my relationship with him has long been known to everyone, even if it is a person, he is not a person who loves to be controlled, but I have no intention of restraining him." Lin Baoru couldn't help but laugh when she saw her eldest brother's awkward appearance of disapproval and wanting to speak, "Oh, don't worry, big brother, life is all over the place, no matter how bad it is, it can be worse than in the past?" And even if he doesn't pay attention to it, he is not a person who beats women unreasonably and at will. ”

"Besides, even if he really bullied me, wouldn't you and your two cousins still have the courage to support me?" As he spoke, Lin Baoru asked Wang Bin and Wang Huzi, who were walking by, "Yes, cousin." ”

Wang Bin and Wang Huzi actually didn't hear what Lin Baoru and Lin Mancang were talking about too clearly, and they didn't look at Lin Mancang, who was honest and not good at words, and looked at them suspiciously, and the two of them subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Cai Ru and Cai He, who were pulling the ashes of the grass and trees in the stove, also raised their little heads, "And we still have us, and we will also protect the eldest sister." ”

Wang Zhanjian, who was leading Xiaobao and Xiaoshan to run around in the yard, saw that there was a bustle, and hurriedly came over and patted his chest and shouted, "Do you want to fight?" Count me in! ”

Wang Shulin, who happened to be carrying the table out of the house, heard his youngest son making a fight, his face sank directly, and he roared: "Three dogs, your skin is itchy again, right!" ”

Wang Zhanjian pouted, he was originally the eldest in the family, and he was the most afraid of Wang Shulin. So at this moment, when he saw that Wang Shulin was going to scold him, he simply glared at him, puffed up his chest and said imposingly: "If the skin is itchy, you have to smoke the person who bullied my cousin first." ”

Hearing the movement, Qian Shi, who was out of the house, was happy when she heard this, she glared at her man, clapped her hands and said: "The dog is right, others want to bully our family, you have to ask us if we agree first." As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Qian and Xu Qingqing in the room, and admonished, "You are the same, although you are concubines, you must also remember that our Wang family does not count your own family." Of course, if there is something to do, our Wang family will be on top of it together! ”

After Wang looked at his sister-in-law and said this, Qian Dayun and Xu Qingqing responded very happily, and the two concubines looked at each other and smiled, looking very tacit. This shook her heart.

If she had taught her children so firmly at the beginning, wouldn't the old mansion dare to torture them so much?

But when you think about it, the sad days are over. Now she looks at her children's relationship is also very good, and she is very satisfied.

Several people talked for a while, and the two daughters-in-law of the Wang family helped Lin Baoru clean up the outside of the house. Wang Shulin and Wang Bin joined hands to weave the thatch, and mended the roof that was somewhat scattered by the cold wind.

When all this was done, it was evening. A few people didn't dare to delay any longer, and told Wang a few more words before driving the ox cart away.

After sending off a few members of the Wang family, Lin Mancang also took his luggage and left.

Before leaving, Wang couldn't help but shed tears, "Mancang, my mother knows that you are not stupid, but my mother still has to tell you a few words." ”

"If you follow the master to learn the craft, you have to be more diligent and have more eyes. We won't talk about bells and whistles, but you can do more of those dirty and tiring jobs for your master. ”

Lin Mancang nodded again and again, and said calmly: "Remember." ”

Lin Baoru thought that being a butcher must often deal with blood and oil stains, so he hurriedly went to pick up a piece of pig pancreatic paste, mixed it with burned grass and ash water, and kneaded it into a ball. There was no time to dry it at this time, so Lin Baoru simply wrapped it up for him, "Big brother, this thing is easy to use, better than the soap beans we sold before." You take it, don't be stingy, remember to dry it for your master a few balls, if there are other workmanship to learn the craft to use, you just care about the big one. Generous fandom to share。 ”

The so-called soft mouth of eating people, soft hands of taking people. But whoever uses this object can take care of some Lin Mancang.

Lin Baoru was worried that he would be reluctant, so he added: "We still have a lot of this thing, and when we run out, you can bring the letter back, and my mother and I will send it to you again." ”

Lin Mancang also left home for the first time, and looking at the worried expressions of his mother and sister-in-law, he was also a little uncomfortable. Even the nose and eye sockets are sour.

The family sent Lin Mancang and stopped when they arrived at the entrance of the village.

When he came back, Wang's mood was very low, and even if he met the villagers who greeted him, most of them were just barely coping with two sentences. If it weren't for Lin Baoru explaining on the side, I am afraid that someone would have said a few words about the Wang family behind his back.

But now, when the big guy knew that the Wang family had sent his only son to the butcher to learn the art of killing pigs, he couldn't help but sympathize with her. Where is her attitude more important?

After all, everyone is looking at it, the son of the Lin family's big house, the eldest son is sent to study by his in-laws. Not to mention the side, there are only five or six pieces of meat in a year's bundle, and a few taels of silver.

Although the second child didn't study, he heard Liu say that he planned to spend money to send him to a carpenter to learn things.

The third child hasn't grown up, and he is screamed by Liu's heart every day, and he will definitely not be able to stand it in the future.

But Lin Mancang, who is the grandson of the Lin family, has been stuffy for many years as a cow and a horse for the old house. Now that he finally has a clear mind and can support his family, he is forced to become a pig killer by the days.

Hey, it's really the same life.

After only half a month's work, the old Lin family and the second room of the Lin family have become the focus of the village. But if there is a stir, then it can be directly passed out in several versions. No, Lin Mancang's trip to Zhao Butcher to learn the craft was arranged again.

The result of the arrangement is naturally the Liu family, who has a bad reputation, how unkind he is.

The rumors outside did not affect the second room of the Lin family.

When she got home, Lin Baoru went to see the soap beans she made with grass and wood ash water yesterday and this morning. After a little scrubbing, she found that the water was much brighter than directly with plant ash, and the decontamination effect was better.

So while it was still dark, so as not to keep Wang's interest so low, she simply beckoned Cairu and Caihe to pull Wang, and pinched the upgraded soap beans together.

It was also a lot of grass and wood ash that was burned yesterday, and now I have finished pinching all the pig pancreas that my brother smashed yesterday.

Looking at the pieces of pig pancreas, Lin Baoru smiled, she even saw that it was time to replace these things with copper plates.

It wasn't until the evening was about to rest that Cai Ru, who was laying the quilt, took out a piece of silver from under the kang quilt and exclaimed: "Mother, eldest sister, there is a piece of silver here!" ”

The extra silver in the family is not a trivial matter, Lin Baoru and the Wang family hurriedly looked over, but saw that the size and shape seemed to be the silver horn that Mrs. Liu gave to Xiaoshan and Xiaobao today.

Lin Baoru's mind turned quickly, and he hurriedly asked Wang: "Mother, where is the silver horn in Xiaoshan?" ”

Wang was stunned before he felt out of the purse of his belt.

"Here!"

After all, at home, a piece of silver is not a small amount of money, and if it is replaced with a copper plate, it will cost two or three hundred yuan.

With such a large sum of money, how could the Wang family let Xiaoshan keep it for himself? Therefore, as early as when she washed Xiaoshan's hands at dinner, she had quietly put away Xiaoshan's silver horn.

That is to say......

Lin Baoru took a deep breath, "This is Xiaobao's piece." ”

Needless to say, it must have been put down by the Qian family before leaving. partially, she didn't say anything, even Xiaobao's mother, Xiao Qian, was not the slightest dissatisfaction with a smile.

Wang understood that this was his sister-in-law who felt sorry for them, so he couldn't help but reddened his eyes at this time.

"You say you're a woman...... If we feel distressed, let's say it clearly, and she is not afraid that we will not admit it with a clear conscience. ”

Lin Baoru listened to her say this, and knew that she was probably pressed before. As soon as the misunderstanding in her mother's heart was solved, it directly made her mother's heart relax. That's why there are words that seem to complain, but are actually grateful and showing off.

She smiled and stuffed the silver horn into Wang's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother's words are interesting, the concubine doesn't feel sorry for us, she is afraid that she feels sorry for you the most!" ”

How could Wang not hear the girl's banter? So Wang, who had nothing to worry about, raised his hand and poked his daughter's head, pretending to annoy her and said: "As far as you know, hurry up and go wash and sleep, don't you still want to catch up with Ming'er?" Beware of Ming'er can't get up......"

Lin Baoru smiled, hugged the hill that had taken off her cotton shoes and put it on the small bench, and asked him to wash it while playing with water. Feet.

On the second day, it was still before dawn, and the family set off.

With the experience of walking the mountain trail last time, Lin Baoru didn't lag behind much this time. After only walking for a while, she was still out of breath and had to rest for a while to drink water.

But this time, just after Yin, people have already arrived in the West Market. Naturally, it also occupies a good place.

Not to mention how the family happily set up a stall at this time, just say that the shopkeeper of the grocery store is already in a hurry.

He paced back and forth, looked at the guy next to him and asked, "The owner still hasn't believed in it?" ”

The guy on the side looked at the impatient shopkeeper and shook his head to say no.

"Shopkeeper, it's about to open the market, the girl from the Lin family must come, do you want to order some soap beans, you have to make an idea earlier." The young man saw that his shopkeeper looked like a headless fly, and he was also a little anxious, "Yesterday, I was from the Liu family, but I went to the Lin family with great fanfare, saying that it was for the family affairs of the two families." Once that girl marries into the Liu family, the soap beans will become the Liu family's bag, and we won't be able to think about it anymore! ”

Shopkeeper Sun listened to the guy's chatter endlessly, and he was also a little irritable, "Of course I know, it's just that the owner is waiting for news, what can I do!" ”

It's been a little white, and the back door is popping. There was a knock on the door, and when the guy opened the door, the people outside came to the shopkeeper with a happy face.

"The shopkeeper, the proprietor has figured it out, this is made of pig pancreas mixed with plant ash."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart rejoiced.

"Oh, it's not in vain that I spent more than 300 yuan." Knowing that the owner had got the recipe, the shopkeeper Sun breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly went up to congratulate him, and said with a compliment: "The shopkeeper is clever, not only stabilizing the little lady's family, but also letting the owner send someone to figure out the recipe. ”

"That's it, if the shopkeeper is appreciated by the owner, don't forget about us guys."

As the sun rose, there were bursts of compliments in the courtyard, and the happy shopkeeper Sun was full of smiles.
