Chapter 926: Tong Yan Wuji
Inside the tent, listening to the even breathing of the person in his arms, the corners of Xue Wenyu's mouth raised.
She is so different, the identity of Mrs. Yipin, if you want to dig herbs, you just need to move your mouth.
However, she still has to do it herself.
However, it is certain that she is really happy this time.
Xue Wenyu felt that there was only one thing she had to do for the rest of her life, and that was to work hard to make her so happy every day and have such a good mood.
The night in the mountain village is exceptionally quiet, and the night birds chirp a few times from time to time.
If you are in a good mood, you will feel particularly pleasant when you hear the chirping of birds at night.
It was almost midnight, and in the main house in the courtyard, except for the child in their arms, the family was not sleepy at all.
The family sat around the table, and for the first time in so many years, they were so willing to let the oil lamp light until now.
On the table, in addition to the oil lamp, was an open purse, a few silver ingots, a pile of scattered silver horns, and a silver ticket of a hundred taels of denomination.
"Old man, can we really accept this?" The old lady's voice still couldn't calm down.
Originally, when the harvest was good all year round, there was only one silver horn left in the house at the end of the year, which was the happiest thing.
But I never thought that this time I was suddenly lucky and rich!
Not only did there be a whole big silver ingot, but there was also a silver ticket!
"Take it, didn't the lady say it, this is the reward for the herb." When the old man finished speaking, he looked at his son; "In a few days, please ask Mrs. Liu to come and help Qingbai go to Tao's house to propose marriage. a hundred taels of silver, to them. ”
"Father, the son thinks that this matter can't be hasty, the reason why the Tao family said that they want a dowry of one hundred taels is actually a reason to refuse to make things difficult for us.
Although we can really get it now, don't we all know who their family is, stingy and insatiable, and put forward other harsh conditions again, what should we do? "The old man's son has been silent since dinner.
Hearing this, the others looked at the person who had also been silent, that is, the grandson of the old man, Wan Qingbai.
This child likes the girl of the Tao family, there was no way before, but now it's okay.
"Grandpa, father's silver, let's keep it to build a new house, let's also send Quan'er to Mr. Bian to study." Wan Qingbai opened his mouth, and he made a lot of determination to open his mouth.
No one expected him to say that.
"Bai'er, you, don't you like that girl from the Tao family?" The old lady asked puzzled.
The little grandson likes the girl of the Tao family, and the family knows it. Therefore, when it was time to say goodbye, even if he knew the temperament of the family, he still invited a matchmaker to come to the door.
As a result, the matchmaker came back with a message and said that the Tao family asked for a dowry of one hundred taels, but she couldn't take it out, so she didn't need to talk about it.
It's been more than a year since this happened, and the family is very uncomfortable watching Qingbai every day, desperately chopping wood, and going out to find someone to make money.
Because they all know in their hearts that no matter how hard the family works, they will not save enough for a bride price of one hundred taels in one or two years.
But after a long time, people won't wait.
Since the last time I said goodbye, I heard that many people went to Tao's house to propose marriage, but they were stumped by the conditions proposed by his family.
People in the village said that the Tao family planned to make a fortune by marrying a daughter.
Wan Qingbai smiled bitterly; "I'm sincere, I'm not angry, I used to like her, but now I don't like her. This time, it was all because of grandpa's good luck and meeting the kind-hearted Mrs. Yipin, so our family has hope to live a good life.
With this money, you can build a new house, you can study, your grandparents don't have to work as hard as before, and you have to help work to support your family when you are older. If you are sick, we can afford to ask a doctor to see you.
Why do you want to give all this money to the stingy and greedy potter?
You don't need to worry, we have the guidance of Mrs. Yipin, and we can make more money in the future, at that time, are you still afraid that I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?
At that time, maybe how many people will come to our family to say goodbye, and at that time, we will have to pick and choose, don't you look good? Virtuous not? Right? ”
It was easy to say, but no one in the family could laugh.
"Qingbai, is this what you are talking about?" The old man, the head of the family, listened to his grandson's words, relieved and distressed.
This kid is too sensible.
Wan Qingbai nodded very seriously; "Grandpa, what my grandson said was from my heart. The reason why my grandson hasn't gotten married so far is because our family is poor. In the future, when the conditions are better, this will naturally not be a problem. ”
The old man twisted his beard and nodded in satisfaction; "Okay, then listen to Qingbai, and the day after tomorrow, I will send Zhan Quan'er to a private school, and then, our family will build a new house." Now, let's all go to sleep. Remember to get up early tomorrow and go to other cols to see if there is still the herb that Mrs. wanted.
Even if I couldn't find it for a while, when I went up the mountain in the future, my eyes would brighten, and when I saw that kind of herb, I dug it up and sent it to my wife.
Give as much as you want, as long as the lady needs it.
This lady is good to our family, I want you to remember it for a lifetime, and you must never forget it. ”
The family nodded together, even if they don't say it, they will remember it for a lifetime!
"Move lightly, don't disturb them." The old man explained uneasily.
Looking at his son and daughter-in-law, and his grandson went out, the old man took the silver and silver tickets on the table and walked around the house in a circle, where should I put them? Where is it safe?
The next day, Mu Yingbao opened her eyes and saw that Xue Wenyu had already washed up and sat on the edge of the felt mat looking at herself.
"Don't sleep for a while?" He asked with a smile.
Mu Yingbao shook her head with a smile, sat up and stretched; "No, I quickly taught them how to make wine, and then let's go back early and concoct herbs." After saying that, he got up and saw that the water for washing was ready.
After leaving the tent, I saw Quan'er squatting outside, holding a small wooden stick and playing with the ants on the ground.
When I looked up and saw Mu Yingbao, I immediately stood up happily; "Madam, I'm really going to a private school."
Mu Yingbao stepped forward and touched his head; "Yes, that's great, then you have to study hard and don't live up to your family's expectations of you."
Quan'er nodded earnestly; "Well, Quan'er will study hard, and if she is literate, she will not be deceived again."
"Tricked on? Someone lied to you? How did you cheat it? Mu Yingbao asked curiously.
"It was the merchant in the next village who bullied my family for not being literate, and cheated my family out of a few acres of land, and I don't know the specifics, because I was not born at that time. I heard my mother say that if those acres of land were still there, the life of the family would not be so bitter. Quan'er said very sadly.
Xue Wenyu and Lin Chuan have been standing on the side, and the conversation between Mu Yingbao and Quan'er can be heard clearly.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan looked at his master.
As soon as Xue Wenyu saw the expressions of his subordinates, he knew that he wanted to go with him......
