When they went out, they were going to pull some fabrics, but Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian couldn't help but tremble when they saw the street where people and cars were coming and going, after all, they had a huge amount of cash on their bodies, and they felt that each of them looked like gangsters, as if someone was going to rob them of their silver in the next second.

Xie Qingshan's eyes looked at pedestrians from time to time, and his hand unconsciously grabbed the back basket that Xie Pingtian was carrying in front of him - the silver was hidden under the chestnuts and hazelnuts in the back basket, Xie Xuan couldn't help but pull the corner of Xie Qingshan's clothes, and whispered: "Grandpa, isn't your appearance more suspicious, let's stop ripping the cloth, hurry up and hire a carriage to send us home, save a lot of nights!" ”

Xie Pingtian also said yes again and again, so the three of them came to the carriage and horse shop in the west of the city and hired a carriage, so that the coachman could quickly return to the village.

When they came to the edge of Gangshang Village, they paid the coachman 20 yuan and asked the coachman to go back, and the three of them pretended to sell the mountain goods and returned home.

When I was greeting people on the road, I heard a ridiculous thing, but it was at dinner yesterday, when Wu Qingxi went to the latrine, he didn't know who threw a stone and fell into the thatched pit and got a stinky feces, and he scolded him, and everyone in the village knew about it, and it became a joke in the village for a while. Those who had disagreements with him in the past secretly claimed to be happy in their hearts.

Xie Xuan couldn't help but think of the mysterious smiles of Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng at dinner yesterday evening, and couldn't help laughing.

From a distance, he saw that the chimney of the Xie family's kitchen was still smoking, and Xie Xuan knew that it was the shou wu steaming in the pot before it was time.

When he got home, Xie Qingshan immediately inserted a wooden pin into the courtyard door, and Xie Wang's Lin and Xie Ping'an, who heard the movement, greeted him.

"I came back so late, and the hundred-year-old Shouwu was sold?" Xie Wang immediately asked.

"What about Zhiyuan and Zhicheng?" Xie Qingshan didn't answer, and asked, he was afraid that the two children would be young and accidentally leak out, so he wanted to hide it from the two children.

"I don't know where to go, I'm naughty!" Lin replied.

So, Xie Qingshan came to the hall and took out the two silver ingots wrapped in the back basket and put them on the table of the Eight Immortals.

"This ...... Such a big silver ingot? How much is that? Xie Wang couldn't believe it, and reached out to touch it, until the hard and cold touch of the tentacle started, she didn't believe that it was not a dream at the moment.

"One hundred and fifty taels!" Xie Pingtian, who had always been steady, couldn't wait to reply, squinting with a smile.

"How can you spend so much silver?" Lin was also stunned and asked a stupid question.

Maybe I really don't know how to spend it, after all, with their life of a small-scale peasant economy like them, which has been lacking food and clothing day after day, year after year, the biggest thought is that they have more than ten taels of money in their hands all year round, they can wear clothes without patches, they can eat white flour and rice for three meals a day, and they never dare to think of the life of brocade clothes and jade food, calling slaves and maids, and Ayaluo mink Qiu. suddenly became rich, maybe you really don't know how to spend money.

"What can I do if I have so much money at home and it is stolen?" Xie Ping'an was surprised, delighted and worried.

The Xie family's original happiness suddenly turned to worry.

"Of course you can't just leave it at home, the money earned is used to spend!" Xie Xuan looked at everyone strangely, "Of course, this silver is to buy land and build a new house, is it possible to put such a sum of money at home to be moldy?" ”

"My good granddaughter is right!" Xie Qingshan nodded and praised, "We have to find a tooth and see who has the land to sell, and when we buy the land, even if we can't plant it ourselves, we can give it to others, and we can eat and wear it every year when we collect rent!" ”

"Isn't that the same as Zhang Dahu's family in our village?" Xie Wang sighed.

Zhang Dahu is the richest landlord in several nearby villages, with 100 acres of fertile land under his name, and there are two shops in the county town operated by two stewards.

"Where can we compare with the Zhang family, the best good land gets ten taels of silver per mu, and the inferior land also has three or four taels of silver, we spend all the money, but we only get more than ten acres of good land, and the Zhang family is far away!" Xie Qingshan was very self-aware and said to everyone.

The Xie family has accumulated several generations, but there are only three acres of good land, five acres of bad land, and a few acres of poor wasteland.

Xie Qingshan carefully collected the money, and prepared to go to the county seat early tomorrow morning to inquire about who sold the land.

Because Xie Xuan and the three of them came back in a hurry, they didn't even have lunch, so Xie Wang and Lin hurriedly went to the stove to cook on the fire.

During the dinner in the evening, when talking about Wu Qingxi falling into the pit, everyone felt relieved, Xie Xuan saw Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng twisting around on the stool, and the proud smile on his face couldn't be held back, Xie Xuan took advantage of the adult to speak, and secretly said in Xie Zhiyuan's ear: "Big cousin, you did this!" ”

Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng were startled, and asked secretly, "How do you know?" ”

"You can't hide the smile on the faces of the two of you, if it weren't for Grandpa and they didn't pay attention to the two of you, they would have been discovered a long time ago!" Xie Xuan said with a smile.

The brothers hurriedly tensed their faces, but after a few minutes, the child's lively nature caused the smile on his face to be unconsciously revealed, which made Xie Xuan feel funny.

When chatting, he said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and this year he has plenty of money, so he will buy some moon cakes and pastries, a few catties of pork, and two fish. Because Liu Yiti said that Xie Xuan was deficient in qi and blood, he also needed to buy some pig blood, pig liver, red beans, brown sugar, sesame seeds and other things to replenish qi and blood, and said a bunch of miscellaneous things.

In the end, it was decided that Xie Qingshan would take Xie Wang's Xie Ping'an and Xie Xuan to the county seat again the next day, Xie Qingshan would go to Yaxing to find Ya Yu to inquire about buying land, and Xie Wang would take Xie Ping'an and Xie Xuan to buy things. Xie Pingtian and his wife are both stable people, so they stay at home to watch the family.

Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng The brothers heard that they had to make trouble and follow, no matter whether Xie Pingtian was coaxing or threatening, they did not let go, the brothers had long envied Xie Xuan for being able to follow Xie Qingshan to the county seat twice, and this time they made up their minds to follow Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang, Xie Qingshan Xie Wang's heart was softened by the two grandchildren, so he relented, and promised to take them the next day if the two of them could get up.

After dinner, the time for He Shou Wu to steam was almost up, Xie Xuan opened the steamer and looked at it, and saw that the black bean juice had completely penetrated into the shou wu slices, and the original yellow-white slices of shou wu had been dyed black and gray. So the fire on the stove was extinguished, and the steamed shou wu slices were hung out, because they were afraid that there would be rats and weasels at night, so they took the spread He Shou Wu into the house to dry, and then took it to the courtyard to dry when it was dawn.

Thinking that these shou wu chips can be exchanged for bright silver, everyone is very motivated, and they feel that life has a head.
