Chapter 15: How is She?
"Aunt Afu, Aunt Afu,"
A strong voice sounded, and Lin Zhao hurriedly stuffed the bowl to Lin Chengfu and then turned around and walked out.
"Damu, why is it so early today?" She said.
Lin Miao followed and walked out, and saw Zhang Damu standing outside the courtyard with his hands on his chest.
At this time, he was wearing a black cotton jacket, brown coarse cloth trousers, and black cloth shoes.
The cotton clothes are very big and old, and the trousers are inexplicably tight, which seems to be stuck with the legs, which is really a bit like a Korean version of a top and pencil pants.
When he saw Lin Zhao's mother and daughter coming out, he smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Tie wants to rent a car later, so I want to just hurry up and not delay."
It's too early, isn't it? At most, it was less than five o'clock, and the sky was bright.
"Okay, okay, it's okay early, I'll wake up Cher."
"A-Niang, what do you tell Xue'er to do?"
Lin Zhao stopped and said, "Let Xue'er go with you, there is a response."
"I don't need to wake up Cher, I can go by myself."
"You..."Lin Zhao is not very relieved, there are still people in the town who covet Sister Yue'er, what if they accidentally meet and are forcibly taken away?
She didn't think that even if she called an extra daughter, what would be the use?
Lin Miao didn't know her mentality, and said: "Let Xue'er help at home, I can do it alone, but I just pick up a few pieces of Chinese medicine, and I don't have much silver on me, so I'm not afraid of blocking the road and robbing it."
Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Then you have to be careful, you have to be careful in everything." You know? ”
Lin Miao nodded and turned around and walked into the room, she had already counted the copper plates last night, a total of seven hundred and thirty-one, because it was impossible to move a small box, so she put the copper plates up and wrapped them in cloth.
Now he walked out of the door with his baggage: "Brother Damu, help me get it, I'll wash my face."
Lin Zhao looked at Lin Miao, who turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and hurriedly said, "Da Mu come in, sit and wait, I'll cook two taro for you and take the road to eat." As he spoke, he hurried to the kitchen.
Lin Miao was very fast, she washed her face Lin Zhao hadn't started to light a fire yet, glanced at the person who was still washing taro, and said, "Auntie, don't prepare it for us, let's go to the town to eat."
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Zhao's reaction, he took the lead and walked out.
Lin Zhao chased out with a taro in her hand, she wanted to say that the things in the town were so expensive, and she would be ready to wait for her, so don't go to the town to eat, but unfortunately, Lin Miao and the others have already gone away.
The location of Zhang Damu's house at the entrance of the village is one of the few families in the village that has an old cow.
A few years ago, the Zhang family had a good life, Daddy Zhang was a sweet-mouthed merchant, and the cow was bought at that time.
Later, Daddy Zhang fell ill, and the savings of the Zhang family were spent, and Aunt Zhang said that she wanted to sell cattle, but Daddy Zhang knew about it, and she was so anxious that she didn't come up in one breath and went.
Now the Zhang family has a widowed mother and three sons, Zhang Damu is the eldest, twenty years old, and Lin Xiaoyan, the daughter of Lin Chengtian's family in the village.
This marriage was decided a few years ago, and Lin Xiaoyan is also eighteen years old, so she should have gotten married, but the Zhang family really couldn't come up with the bride price money requested by the Lin family, so they kept delaying it.
It's not that he didn't think about selling cattle, or that Daddy Zhang was still thinking about cattle before he died, so he didn't dare to sell the cattle.
When he came to Zhang's house, Zhang Erxi, the second eldest of the Zhang family, was loading the ox cart, and when he saw Lin Miao, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Lin Yue?"
Lin Miao smiled, which was a greeting.
Zhang Erxi pulled Zhang Damu aside and asked in a low voice, "Why is she?"
Everyone has heard about yesterday's incident, and the fierce kicking of the crotch makes people shudder when they see her, how can such a person still go out?
Zhang Damu gave him a blank look, ignored him, and walked out with the ox.
The mountain road was bumpy, and Lin Miao's ass was bumpy before he arrived in town.
Gaoqiao Town should be a relatively large town, with everything available on the street, and there is an endless stream of people as far as the eye can see.
Zhang Damu said relatively little, except for Lin Miao who took the initiative to ask him along the way, otherwise he would not have spoken.
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Lin Miao said, "Brother Da Mu, let's find a place to eat something first, I'm hungry."
"There are buns sold near Chen Kee Wine Shop, so let's eat them when we get there."
Lin Miao smashed her mouth, she actually didn't want to eat steamed buns, but considering that it might be too time-consuming to go to the store to wait for noodles or something, she was silent.
The two of them came to the Chen Ji Wine Shop, which was already open at this time, and there were three large shops with seven or eight apprentices, all of whom were carrying wine back and forth from the wine cellar.
Lin Miao stood for a while, but didn't see Lin Xi, and was about to go up to ask, when Lin Xi was escorted back on the opposite side.
Dressed in a gray apprentice's uniform, his face flushed, he struggled and explained, "I didn't steal, I didn't steal."
The two people who were holding him did not let go, nor did they speak, the expressions on their faces were a little indescribable, and they secretly looked at the people who were following them.
That person was also about twenty years old, and he was also wearing an apprentice uniform, and his ordinary facial features looked a little vivid because of his pride at this time.
He snorted coldly and said, "It's not stealing, so you say, where did you come from?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and said with a stiff neck: "Why should I tell you?" Anyway, it's not stealing, don't believe it, ask the shopkeeper to see if he has lost any money. ”
"Even if you don't steal the shopkeeper, you may steal customers, otherwise how could you, a poor and crazy person, suddenly come up with ten taels of silver."
Lin Miao couldn't listen to it anymore, although Lin Yue didn't pay attention to Lin Xi, but the appearance that appeared in her memory was honest, shy, caring about her family, and loving her younger siblings. How could such a boy possibly steal?
"Brother," she called twice, striding over.
Following the sound, everyone in the store looked over, although Lin Miao was dressed ordinary, her facial features were gorgeous, her figure was slender, and she was like a touch of warm sun when she walked, which made everyone's eyes follow her unconsciously.
Walking to Lin Xi's side, Lin Miao looked him up and down, and was relieved to see that he was not injured, and said, "Brother, my mother asked me to tell her that the affairs of the family have been taken care of, don't worry."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the young man who had just spoken, and asked coldly, "Where is the shopkeeper of your family?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Lin Miao to talk to him directly, so he couldn't react, and said after a long time: "The shopkeeper is not seen by everyone."
Lin Miao hooked the corners of her mouth and said coldly: "If you don't see the shopkeeper, do you mean to go to see the official?" The latest law of the Qing Dynasty convicted him of slandering others, and he was sentenced to three months in prison and compensated the person with ten taels of silver. ”
This was not made up by Lin Miao, but Zhang Heng told Lin Yue an interesting story.
It is said that a student was framed by a classmate for stealing his silver, and in the end it was confirmed that there was no, and the result was that the classmate was punished according to what Lin Miao just said.
