Ling Yi wanted to go back to the village directly in a carriage, but she wanted to buy some rice, she was tired of eating sweet potatoes every day, and she had been hungry for rice for a long time.

Ling Yi had no choice but to let the shopkeeper wait for her to have a cup of tea.

Ling Yi took his eldest brother and younger sister and rushed to the market and bought five catties of lard, a piece of fat and thin pork belly, about ten catties. I rushed to the condiment shop and bought enough dried chili peppers, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and by the way, I also bought some radish seeds and chili seeds to put in my basket.

Don't ask her why she buys so much, Ling Yi is an otaku in modern times, she just wants to buy it and stay at home for a few days.

The three of them then rushed to the grain store, Ling Yi bought a hundred catties of rice, six wen a catty, and spent six hundred wen, and the grain shop owner saw how much she bought and gave her five catties.

Ling Yi put the purchased rice in the basket of Ling Coolie and Wind.

……

The carriage passed by the place where she bought the clay pot last time, Ling Yi thought that there was only one clay jar for flour at home, and she planned to buy a large vat to hold rice, and she didn't want to be wronged in life after making money, so she stopped the carriage and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll buy a big vat and come." ”

Shopkeeper Yu quipped, "Miss Ling still wants to buy so many things?" ”

Ling Yi sneered, "After buying the vat, I will go back to the village." ”

Ling Yi bought the pottery jar, and the boss helped her carry it out and put it on the carriage, squinting her eyes slightly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth and smiling, "Girl, come to our house next time to buy it, and give it cheaper for you!" ”

Ling Yi pouted: Why don't I see you cheaper this time, and I will give you a discount next time! I must want to pit her!

After buying it, she climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, and the carriage was not the kind of carriage she had imagined.

It is a horse-drawn carriage made of wooden planks, and the planks are fixed around it, which deepens its height so that the goods transported do not fall off.

It was followed by an identical carriage, with empty seats for people sitting and Ling Yi's vat on the carriage, all of which were full of baskets. Shopkeeper Yu sat in the carriage behind, probably because he was afraid that one carriage would not be finished, so he added another carriage.

The three Ling Yi brothers and sisters sat in the carriage and ate free pastries to cushion their stomachs, but the carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and they arrived at Qile Village in half an hour.

When the carriage entered the village, the aunt on the side of the road looked at the three Ling Yi brothers and sisters with gossipy eyes, curious about how they could come back by carriage.

The shopkeeper Yu sent the three brothers and sisters home, and after Ling Yi asked the eldest brother to lift the vat down and put it away, he asked the eldest brother to take the shopkeeper Yu to the village chief's house.

Ling Yi took out a silver ingot, "Shopkeeper Yu, the matter of building the school is said to be built by you to compensate the villagers, don't shake me out." ”

Ling Feng watched his sister take out a silver ingot, his eyes straightened, "My good man, silver ingot!" "He's never seen that much money! But when he heard his sister say this, he also understood what to say and what not to say.

Shopkeeper Yu took the silver ingot, and didn't ask why he didn't want to be in the limelight, so he went to the village chief's house with Ling Feng.

……

"Uncle Li, Uncle Village Chief...... At home? Ling Feng knocked on the door.

Li Chunhua heard someone shouting at him, he didn't know what was going on, he asked his mother-in-law to open the door, after all, the village chief still had to have the pomp and circumstance.

"Huh...... It's coming......" Li Chunhua's mother-in-law hurriedly ran to open the door.

She was curious, "Eh, it's you?" What are you doing with your uncle? ”

"That's right, this is the shopkeeper Yu." Ling Feng pointed at the shopkeeper Yu, "The shopkeeper Yu took a fancy to the wild fruit in our back mountain, it is called Raushzi raspberry, and the saplings were also bought together, and I want to talk to Uncle Li." ”

Lin took them to the hall and sat down, and brought tea, although it was the most inferior tea, and it didn't taste like tea, but some people in the village couldn't afford to drink tea when they entertained guests! Li Lin thought proudly.

"Feng Wazi, Yu shopkeeper, you wait, I'll go and call Xianggong."

Li Lin relayed Ling Feng's words to Xianggong.

Li Chunhua came out with a dry cigarette in his mouth, his hair was a little gray, and there were some wrinkles on his face.

"I wonder how the shopkeeper wants to buy the fruit sapling and the fruit? What do you want to buy? ”

"Naturally, it is to buy and sell, the money of this sapling will be given to your village to build a school, and Mr. will be invited to teach, so that the baby in your village will first be enlightened in the village school, recognize the words, and then go to the town to go to school, and Mr. can also take a look at it, right?

The family has some spare money but it is not enough to go to the town to study, so it's good to know some big characters and understand things, right? When you go to work in the Lord's house, you know that you have to look up to your literacy, don't you? Please Mr.'s restraint will come out of the baby who wants to come to study at home. ”

"If you don't want to build a school, then you can share the money for building a school with your villagers." The shopkeeper Yu thought about it very thoroughly.

Li Chunhua's eyes lit up after hearing this, so that the eldest son of his family could also go to the school to read and write, and the second son was very talented in reading and sent to the town to study, I wanted to send the eldest child to read together, but it was really a burden that was not a constraint for the two, so I had to give up, I knew some big characters in the village, and it was not expensive to think about it, and he would definitely be able to afford this money!

"Build a school, right? I don't know how many taels of the shopkeeper will be built into the school? Li Chunhua knocked on the cigarette bag.

Ling Feng looked at the shopkeeper Yu's tongue and couldn't help but speak, this is a good knowledge, he has to learn.

"Forty taels."

Li Chunhua's eyes rolled, "That's not good!" Forty taels are enough to barely build a school! ”

The shopkeeper knew that this was the result, "Add another fifteen taels, and you can take it to Mr.'s restraints, how can it be enough for Mr. to be restrained for half a year, right?" With so many five taels to hire someone to build a house, the salary is more than wrong, right? As for the future...... If you want to enlighten yourself, you are. ”

Li Chunhua still wanted to bargain, but "Yu ......" was interrupted as soon as he shouted a word.

"Fifty-five taels, no matter how much it is, it will exceed the value of this fruit itself, and it will not make any money, so what will you do with it?" Although the shopkeeper smiled on his face, he didn't let it go.

Originally, I didn't want to give fifty taels of silver, but the shopkeeper was afraid that a trivial matter would ruin the plan of the son's pastry shop to surprise the capital, and the businessman was mercenary, and building a school for the village was also considered to be full of cause and effect, and the extra five taels of silver was not his old conscience.

No matter how Ling Feng looked at the shopkeeper, he looked like a big-tailed wolf.

Village Chief Li spoke at this time, "...... Then it's fifty-five taels, then go up the mountain, you pull the wild fruit away, pull it well, and inform the people of the village of this great joy! ”

"It's finished." The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth raised slightly, and there was no business that he couldn't negotiate.

Village Chief Lin took Shopkeeper Yu and his men to the back mountain, and Ling Feng pointed to the raspberry in the distance to show the village chief and the shopkeeper, this is the same fruit that his sister picked back, and he has tasted it.

"This is it."

The village chief looked at it fixedly, smiled happily, and thought it was something precious.

"That's it? Pull away, pull away. Li Chunhua didn't care much, but he still stood here and watched the shopkeeper finish digging up this wild fruit.

With a wave of the shopkeeper's hand, his men began to pick, and the front team finished picking raspberries, and the back team began to carefully dig up the saplings.

"Dig carefully for me, watch out for your skin!"

The guys responded, "Yes." ”

The old man of the village chief couldn't stand standing for so long, he sat on the ground, he didn't want any pomp and circumstance from the village chief, he couldn't stand it after standing for a quarter of an hour, and his legs were trembling.

Look at these babies, this strength, "Alas! Li Chunhua sighed......

It's better to be young! He was so envious. When he was young and his daughter-in-law, his physical strength was too good, and he really couldn't do it when he was old, although he didn't want to admit it.

An hour later, the men had finally finished picking the raspberries on the hill and digging up the raspberry seedlings.

There was not a single raspberry seedling on the mountain, Ling Feng looked at the bare one and thought to himself: Sure enough, the essence of the businessman, those who don't know still think that this mountain has been plagued by locusts.

The village chief saw that these babies were finally dug up, and received the money given by the shopkeeper, and he couldn't wait to go down the mountain after carefully ordering it, he didn't even wait for the shopkeeper, he went down the mountain by himself, and he wanted to hurry up to inform everyone of the good news.

He even ran, he only felt as if he was back in the time with his daughter-in-law, and he always had endless strength.

He seems to be doing it again!

From a distance, the old man running in burlap was covered in black mud, and the village chief was still running fast, how funny it was.

Li Chunhua ran to the place where there was usually an announcement of something important in the village.

The sun reflected light and shadow through the banyan tree where the two were hugging.

Under the banyan tree, the gossip and gossip were combined, and Li Chunhua only felt that his head was about to explode.

"Silence, everyone listen to me!" He rang the iron gong in his hand.

"That's the case, there is a shopkeeper who has taken a fancy to the thorny wild fruit in the mountain behind us, and no one usually picks it, so they will give it to him if they want me, and it is not a precious thing. If you have a baby at home who wants to come to the school for enlightenment, you can send it, the first half a year is free, and then you have to hand it over. The man said that he would give forty taels to build a school, and he also gave ten taels of money to invite Mr. Shu Yu, and he also gave four taels of money to build a school, which was just enough to build a school...... Someone who wants to come to the school will stay and tell me later, ten cents a day is not enough to eat. ”

Saying so much in one breath can make this old man choke enough, huh? You have to ask where is the remaining 20 wen? He took the twenty wen to buy some wine and drank it!

"Li Villagetou, what are they buying those wild fruits with thorns for? Given so much money, they must make more money, we should sell it ourselves! The man who said this, with his cheekbones high, exuded a gloomy aura.

"Hey, you kid, you just want to have something to do, do you know how people make money? It's kind enough for people to build an enlightenment school for fifty taels of silver, why are you so dissatisfied? An uncle said.

"That's it!" Some aunts and uncles also chimed in.

Li Chunhua shouted loudly, "I've told you about this, let's start work tomorrow, if you want to earn wages, come and tell me now, I'll remember, ten cents a day, no food!" If there's nothing to do, let's just go back. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they didn't care about food for ten cents a day, how could they be unwilling, they crowded in front of Uncle Li's head, and some mothers-in-law even helped their father-in-law register, such a good errand can't be left at home.

Ling Zhizhi was also listening below, thinking that the work at home was almost finished, so he also told Li Cuntou that he and his son Ling Feng were going to work in the construction school.
