Chapter 121: Money to Buy Cows
Liu Cui was overjoyed in her heart, and deliberately pretended to be concerned and worried: "Xiaowan sisters, they haven't come yet, and they don't know what to do, they haven't come so late, let us wait for her in this car, I don't know if the big guy will go back?" ”
As soon as Liu Cui's words came out, a car of people began to complain: "Really, I haven't bought anything for a day, what time do you not come?" ”
"Yes, yes, just thinking about myself, I don't want to think about her if she doesn't come, we have to wait for her."
"I'm so annoyed, I have to do the laundry when I go back, and it's dark when I go back after a while."
"Don't let her ride in the car next time, it's a net delay."
“……”
Uncle Wu thought who else was startled, and when he heard Lin Xiaowan's name, he glanced lightly at Liu Cui, who provoked the trouble, and a trace of disgust appeared in his heart, and he said lightly: "I thought someone was really left behind, Xiaowan and their family had something to do, and they had already left." ”
As for the one who said don't let them take the car next time, Uncle Wu said in his heart, everyone has their own cars, so they don't come to squeeze with you long-tongued women.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet, and no one mentioned this again, and they all looked at Liu Cui.
Liu Cui was shocked and went back? So early? How can they go back without a car?
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled awkwardly and defended herself: "I saw that Xiaowan didn't come, and I thought that I left her behind, it's good that she didn't fall, it's good that she doesn't fall." But Xiaowan girl is really, and she doesn't know how to tell us when she leaves, so I am still worried in vain. ”
Seeing that she was like this, she didn't stop, and without waiting for others to speak, Uncle Wu sneered and said, "What's the matter with you when people leave early?" Are you related to their family, or do you live close to the neighborhood, and the neighbors want to tell you? What time do you come, what time do they come? I listen to you for a day, and you still can't leave? If you don't go, go down, and don't delay me. ”
Liu Cui was silent now, and didn't dare to speak more.
Uncle Wu looked at her in annoyance and flicked the reins.
He remembered this Liu Cui, last time she deliberately smashed Xiaowan's feet with a basket of stones on her back, this time she was not there and still made such trouble, it was really a bad stomach.
Uncle Wu didn't want to take her, he couldn't wait to let her go back by herself, but she couldn't get along with others every day when she was full, and she didn't put her mind in the right place all day long, so she knew that she was looking for those evil ways.
Liu Cui didn't know that she had been blacklisted by Uncle Wu's passengers, and she still imagined the wonderful scene of the ointment she made five days later robbing Lin Xiaowan's business, and she was immersed in fantasy and couldn't extricate herself.
Until she got out of the car, Liu Cui still had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When she got home, she secretly put the medicinal herbs into her house and hid them, and then Liu Cui sent all the things that her mother-in-law asked her to buy, and seeing that there were a lot of things to explain, Huang snorted and asked her to cook.
Liu Cui didn't dare to slack off, so she went busily.
In the past few days of the summer harvest, every household no longer goes out, sharpening the sickle and rubbing the hemp rope.
Guo Chengling has not gone hunting for the past few days, waiting for the notice from the village.
Their harvest here is not set at its own time, but will not start until the time is uniformly announced by the superiors. Secretly harvested in advance, that is to be punished.
However, the time of the summer harvest is generally those days, so everyone will prepare in advance.
After two days of preparation, the summer harvest began.
Lin Xiaowan and her family have three acres of land, and there are only two laborers, Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling.
Liu, like her, is a person who can't do farm work.
I can't help with a big favor, but I can do a small favor.
Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling cut the wheat in front, and Lin Xiaowan and Liu helped bundle the cut wheat into a stack in the back.
The noon sun was scorching, and Lin Xiaowan asked them all to go back to rest.
Just kidding, with a high temperature of dozens of degrees, working under the sun, it's strange if you don't suffer from heat stroke.
It's better to rest and rest, and come back in the afternoon.
Sure enough, when they went again in the afternoon, several men fainted, and sat in the shade of the trees to rest.
Before Lin Xiaowan started, one of them drank some water soaked in mint leaves, and then let the two big men go over, and she and Liu still rested for a while.
There is no need to work, just sitting like this, Lin Xiaowan feels that every pore on her body is sweating, the hot and steaming air is deformed, Lin Xiaowan is wearing a straw hat, and her face feels hot.
She was uncomfortable and sweating, it was so uncomfortable that Lin Xiaowan felt like she was going to stink.
Sighing, she resigned herself to her fate and got up to bundle the wheat.
If it stinks, it stinks, and I will wash it again at night.
When they went back in the evening, the ox cart came in handy, Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling carried a bundle of each, and little by little transported the cut wheat to the ox cart, and then pulled it to the drying field and flattened it.
A group of people looked at Lin Zhen's ox cart in shock, and felt as if there was an illusion?
LIN Lao. Second, where did you make a lot of money and can afford to buy an ox cart?
When did they not hear anything about it?
Of course they didn't know, first, it was far away, and secondly, Lin Zhen raised the cow in the backyard and specially enclosed a place for it in the back. He was very good for this cow, baby.
The farmer's favorite livestock is the cow.
It can not only plough the land, but also pull carts, eat grass, and use the cow dung as fertilizer for crops. It can be said that there are treasures all over the body.
Everyone watched with envy as Lin Zhen sat at the front of the car, pulling a cart of wheat to the drying field.
Lin Zhen also enjoyed this kind of gaze very much, and even his back was straighter than usual.
Along the way, everywhere you go, you are the focus of attention.
The main reason is that there are too few families with ox carts in the village, one household is counted as one, and Lin Zhen is only three households.
In Xinghua Village, having a cow symbolizes wealth and wealth.
Lin Zhen's family built a new house some time ago, which is eye-catching, and now that there is an ox cart, everyone is speculating about how much silver they have received from the separation, but they don't see that Lin Fu and they are so deeply hidden.
Thinking so, someone went to inquire with the Zhou family.
"Hey, Brother Fu, your old family. Both have ox carts, yes, you can wait to enjoy the blessings of the father in the future. When you divide the family, you give it to the old. How much is the second family, this is to build a house and buy an ox cart, oops, I don't dare to think about it. ”
Lin Fu looked shocked, old. Second, bought an ox cart? When?
The same situation is also played out here in Zhou.
"Hey, Aunt Zhou, what are you still doing here with wheat on your back? Let your family be old. Second, pull their ox cart to pull it for you, and you need to work so hard. ”
"Yes, yes, Dani, your old family. The second is amazing, and he is building a new house, and he is buying an ox cart, and you have divided his family and divided a lot of money, right? I can't see it, I don't think so, I have a mountain of gold at home. ”
"What? Old. Did the two families buy an ox cart? I don't know! ”
Zhou threw down the wheat stack, his face was shocked, his voice was hoarse and he screamed, it was so harsh and ugly that everyone couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Yes, just now we all saw him pulling an ox cart to the drying field to pull wheat, but he is very angry and majestic."
"Impossible!"
Zhou shook his head, "You must have read it wrong." ”
Can Lin Zhen have this ability? It's impossible, if he wants to have this ability, she can't see it, she must be wrong.
"That's right, everyone has seen it, it's your old family. Two. Oh, you're still pretending to be with us, let's talk about it, your family was old when we separated. How much silver is two cents, so generous, we can't grab it, it's just curiosity. ”
Zhou screamed, "Where can they buy an ox cart for seventy taels of silver, I don't believe it, it must be borrowed!" ”
Everyone who watched the excitement thought she was acting, "What seventy taels of silver, seven hundred taels is about the same, don't lie to us, the ox carts have been bought, what else is there to hide." ”
"Borrowed, definitely borrowed!"
Zhou didn't believe that in such a short period of time, old. Second, where did they borrow such a large sum of silver?
"Poof."
Someone laughed out loud and punctured her self-deception.
"On the day of the summer harvest, whoever has a car and doesn't use it for their own use and lends it to others, their brains are kicked by a donkey. Then you ask your elders. Second, I don't care who borrowed the car, I also want to borrow it, how much is a day, you help me inquire. ”
"Yes, yes, and me, and me, I'm going to borrow it too."
"Count me one, count me one."
A group of people didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they coaxed to borrow an ox cart.
Zhou's head was buzzing, and he was about to run out.
Lin Fu stopped her, "What are you doing!" Come back! ”
Zhou turned his head and screamed anxiously, "Old man, did you hear, everyone says old. Second, they bought an ox cart! I don't believe it, I'm going to see for myself! Where did they get the money to buy bullock carts! ”
Lin Zhen blackened his face and told her to shut up.
"What are you yelling about? What does it matter to you whether they buy a bullock cart or not? Even if you buy it, it's none of your business! Sit down for Lao Tzu, where are you going before you finish your work in the field? ”
Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that they had signed the document of disconnection.
But Zhou felt that even if he signed the letter of severance, then she was also Lin Zhen's mother, he came out of her belly, no one would say anything about it, and he would have to recognize her as a mother at any time. Otherwise, it is a great unfilial piety!
However, Lin Fu categorically would not let her go. From the attitude just now, it can be seen that if she dares to go, then Lin Fu will definitely dare to clean her up.
It's just that the more Zhou thinks about it, the more uncomfortable it is in his heart, and he struggles for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and walked towards Lin Zhen's house with a single step.
She had to see what was going on!
If she doesn't figure this out, her heart is scratching her lungs and she is uncomfortable, and she is now desperate to know the old . Is it true or false that the two families bought ox carts?
If so, then where did they get the money to buy the ox carts?
Could it be that when they didn't split up before, they still secretly hid private money behind her back?
Thinking of this possibility, the Zhou family couldn't wait to grab Lin Zhen now and ask clearly.
