The next day, Zhang Jihan took the silver and went to the county seat.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go, I don't need an ox cart." Liu Meiniang asked Zhang Jihan to rent an ox cart, but Zhang Jihan refused.

"It just so happens that this batch of silkworms has also spun silk, so you can pull the silk to Boss Xue by the way." Liu Meiniang and Zhang Li worked together to move several wooden boxes to the yard.

Liu Meiniang knew that if she didn't bring anything, Zhang Jihan wouldn't be able to take an ox cart. It's so hard to walk that far.

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan readily agreed.

It wasn't until she watched Zhang Jihan's car disappear around the corner that Liu Meiniang returned to the yard. What's going on with this feeling of an old mother?

"Mother, where did you put the cloth that Boss Xue gave me last time?"

There is nothing to do today, Liu Meiniang is going to make some clothes.

"It's all in the box in your room." Zhang Li said.

"Mother, don't go to Aunt Li today, let's make a few clothes for Dandan and them." Liu Meiniang stopped Zhang Li, who was going out.

"Okay." Zhang Li stopped and said.

Liu Meiniang returned to the room and took out a few pieces of cloth from Xue Wuyi last time in the box.

Liu Meiniang's current room is the largest one in the Zhang family, but at a glance inside, you can only see shabby, except for a bed and a large wooden box, there are two stools in the corner of the wall, and there is nothing else.

Liu Meiniang shook her head, to earn money to build a new house as soon as possible, as long as it rains, the thatched house will have a musty smell, it just rained the day before yesterday, the smell in the house is simply suffocating, although she has opened the windows and doors, the smell has not dissipated for more than a day. If she continued like this, she was scared of eczema.

There are four thatched houses in the Zhang family, Zhang Li lives in one, Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong live in one, Zhang Jihan lives in one, the one Zhang Li lives in is a suite, the outside is a hall house, used to entertain guests, and the inside is where Zhang Li lives.

Fortunately, the Zhang family loves to be clean, although it is a thatched house, but it is cleaned up inside and out, except for the musty smell of the thatched house itself, there is no other smell in the room.

Liu Meiniang went to Zhang Li's room with the cloth in her arms, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to sew clothes.

Most of the clothes of ancient people were sewn by themselves, and few people went to buy ready-to-wear clothes. Especially in rural areas, no one buys clothes to wear, so almost all women in rural areas can sew clothes.

When Zhang Li was young, he was a famous skillful hand in Shili Eight Village, and I heard that Zhang Li and Aunt Li were the two girls that the village boy wanted to marry the most.

Now Zhang Li is in his thirties, not very old, just doing farm work for a long time, his skin has become a little black and yellow, just looking at his facial features, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Li did look good when he was young.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and cut their clothes. After a while, the clothes of the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family were cut out.

Zhang Dandan is wearing a pink floral shirt and pants, with extra cloth edges, and Zhang Li also made a pair of flowers for Zhang Dandan.

Zhang Tongtong is dressed in emerald green clothes, and Liu Meiniang thinks that Zhang Tongtong is very suitable for clothes of this color.

Zhang Li picked a gray cloth himself.

"Mother, you can use this blue cloth." Liu Meiniang picked out a blue floral cloth and compared it to Zhang Li's body.

"It's too colorful." Zhang Li said hesitantly, but his eyes showed love.

"It's not glamorous, mother, this color is not bright at all, and it suits you very well." Liu Meiniang said pertinently. There are only a few clothes worn by Zhang Li, all of them are gray and black, and the whole person looks dull.

"It's going to be said." Zhang Li still refused.

"Who would say, mother, you must look good in this, really." Liu Meiniang continued to tempt.

"I'm old, I don't care if I look good or not." Zhang Li glanced at Liu Meiniang angrily.

"You're not old." Liu Meiniang grabbed Zhang Li's arm and said.

"Then it's up to you." Zhang Li finally compromised.

Liu Meiniang quietly made a gesture and began to cut clothes with Zhang Li.

Zhang Li's family can support a family alone, it is indeed not easy, Liu Meiniang admires Zhang Li's in addition to admiration, there is also a kind of love, this should belong to the original owner's emotion, the original Liu Meiniang should like Zhang Li very much, in this era like Zhang Li's good mother-in-law is rare.

Here, Zhang Jihan quickly arrived at the county seat with an ox cart.

"Is Boss Xue here?" Zhang Jihan's ox cart stopped at the door of Caiyi Pavilion, which attracted many people's sideways, and Zhang Jihan's ears were secretly red.

"Is Zhang Xiaogongzi here to deliver silk?"

Luluo was wearing a lake blue shirt, and her eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Jihan.

"Yes, my sister-in-law asked me to send these silks over." Zhang Jihan pointed to the ox cart.

"Someone, hurry up and unload the goods, Zhang Xiaogongzi, please." Without waiting for Zhang Jihan to refuse, Luluo had already brought Zhang Jihan in.

"Zhang Xiaogongzi is tired all the way, take a sip of tea first, the next person has already gone to unload the goods, Zhang Xiaogongzi will wait for a while." The pothos clapped her hands, and immediately a girl came in and offered refreshments.

"Thank you......" Zhang Jihan said, his hand kept rubbing his clothes, obviously very nervous.

"Little Master Zhang, our host has not come back since we went to the capital, but he has instructed that if you come, you must be hospitalized."

"Don't dare, sister, I have other things to do when I go into the city this time, and I'm going to leave when the silk is delivered." Zhang Jihan hurriedly waved his hand and said, he is almost uneasy now, Caiyi Pavilion is comparable to a palace for countrymen like them, sitting here drinking tea is more tiring than letting him work in the fields.

"Hehe, okay, little boy, then you eat some pastries and then go." Luluo said with a smile, since Zhang Jihan has something to do, it is not easy for Luluo to keep people.

"What else does Miss Liu command?" Looking at Zhang Jihan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the green pothos asked intimately.

"My sister-in-law said, can Caiyige provide her with some paper and pencils, she can use them for drawing." Zhang Jihan mustered up the courage to finish speaking, and his face was already red.

The last time they passed by a bookstore in the city, he heard Xiao Si inside say that a hundred pieces of paper cost a few dollars, and a book seemed to cost a few taels of silver.

When she left this morning, Liu Meiniang asked him to come to Caiyi Pavilion and ask Boss Xue for it, but he couldn't refuse.

"Okay, okay, I'll let people prepare." Pothos hid her face and smiled.

As soon as this was mentioned, the green pothos was full of smiles, the last time Liu Meiniang provided the drawing, Xue Wuyi quickly made people rush to make the ready-to-wear, compared to the drawings, the ready-to-wear looks simply amazing, the green pothos tried it on the body, and instantly felt like a different person.

Sure enough, the batch of clothes in the capital was snatched up, even if the price was thirty-five taels of silver, there was still a situation where supply exceeded demand.

Xue Wuyi had a total of five colors of clothes made, but it was still the one drawn on Liu Meiniang's drawings that looked the best.

In the past half a month, Xue Wuyi has made a lot of money, and this time when he returned to the capital, he also went to discuss things with his family.

Seeing the pothos readily agreed, Zhang Jihan breathed a sigh of relief, if people didn't want to, how should he explain to Liu Meiniang when he went back?

After a while, someone came in with a stack of papers and a box.

"That's too much, isn't it?" Zhang Jihan said in surprise.

"Although Zhang Xiaogongzi is a subordinate, he can also use it on weekdays."

The paper was directly bundled and handed to Zhang Jihan, and the box was filled with paintbrushes and paints.

"Then thank you, sister." Zhang Jihan took the thing.

"You're welcome, it's us who should thank you." Pothos said with a smile.

Zhang Jihan was confused, he didn't know what the pothos meant, and he didn't ask.

When Zhang Jihan came out, all the silk on the ox cart had been unloaded, and there were a few small boxes of things on the cart.

"Here are some pastries, take them back and try them" The pothos sent Zhang Jihan to the door.

"Thank you......." Zhang Jihan didn't know how many words of thank you he said.

He felt deeply embarrassed, it was too embarrassing to even eat and take something.

The money for silk has not been given to Zhang Jihan now, because Liu Meiniang and Xue Wuyi agreed before, and after the silk is woven into cloth, there will be no cloth to be paid five dollars of silver.

After saying goodbye to the pothos, Zhang Jihan went to Uncle Zhang's house with an ox cart, put the ox cart in the yard of his house, and then went to the market in the west of the county.

The bazaar was as lively as the last time I came with Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan went to the place where small animals were sold, and sure enough, there were dogs sold.

"Little brother, do you want to buy puppies? Look at my house, it grows strong and loud. The dog seller beckoned, lifted a puppy, pinched it somewhere, and the puppy screamed milkily.

Zhang Jihan was not in a hurry to buy it, but looked at it one by one, and finally chose a stall selling dogs.

"Boss, how do you sell this puppy?" Zhang Jihan picked up a black puppy from the stall and asked.

"Little brother has a good eye, this dog has wolf blood, what about the wild, if the little brother wants it, how about two hundred wen?" The seller said with a flattering smile.

As soon as Zhang Jihan heard about the two hundred texts, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, wait, if you really want it, the price is negotiable." The stall owner saw that Zhang Jihan was leaving, and hurriedly said. Zhang Jihan returned to the stall.

"I really want to buy a dog, so you can make a price." Zhang Jihan said sophistically.

The people here want to blackmail him when they see him at a young age, and he is not so easy to deceive.

"How many do you want to buy?" The stall owner rubbed his hands and said.

"Two." Zhang Jihan stretched out two fingers.

"Two three hundred Wen, it can't be lower." The stall owner looked sincere.

"You're cheaper." Zhang Jihan continued to bargain.

"It really couldn't be cheaper." The stall owner grimaced.

"If it's cheaper, I'll buy it." Zhang Jihan touched the puppy lying on the ground and said.

"Two hundred and eighty wen, the lowest price." The stall owner gritted his teeth and said.

"Deal." Zhang Jihan took out the money bag and paid the money.

picked two black puppies that he had been optimistic about all morning, and hugged them.

"Brother will come back next time I buy a dog." Zhang Jihan hugged the two dogs and said when the stall owner was leaving.

"Holo." Zhang Jihan said happily, holding the two puppies in his arms and gradually walking away.

As soon as I stepped out of the market, I saw an unidentified object on the corner of the street.

Zhang Jihan took a closer look and saw that it was a gray puppy.

Zhang Jihan shouted twice, and the puppy looked up at Zhang Jihan, and stood up with a chirp.

Zhang Jihan knew as soon as he saw the puppy like this, the puppy was thrown away.

The puppy looked too weak, covered in stray hair, with messy fur that looked like a litter of straw and skinny skin.

"Woohoo." The puppy barked at Zhang Jihan, the voice was so small that it was almost inaudible, Zhang Jihan was ruthless, raised his feet and was about to leave, and just took two steps and retreated.

"I don't know if I'll be scolded if I take it back." Zhang Jihan squatted beside the puppy and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, let's take you back, two are also raised, three are also raised, it's a big deal that I will eat less." Zhang Jihan made up his mind and reached out to carry this little miscellaneous hair into his arms.

One person returned to Uncle Zhang with three dogs in his arms.

After settling the dog, I went to the street to buy some things that Liu Meiniang explained, and drove back to Liuhe Village.

Finally rushed back at dusk.
