After sending them away, the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief, Zilu and they all came over, saw the four big silver ingots in Shen's hands, one of them took one and held it for a while, Zifu and Zilu even jumped up happily, they experienced the hardships of life more than Ziqing and Zishou, and suddenly saw this wealth of their own family, they almost cried with joy, Zifu also specially told Zishou that no one could tell.

Shen hugged Ziqing and cried with joy, "Qing'er, my mother really didn't expect that this thing you tossed can really make a lot of money, it is much stronger than farming, speaking of which my mother is really ashamed, my mother is busy outside every day, you have to take care of the children and take care of the house at a young age, and you can also grow silver, in fact, this year's vegetables in our family are also grown by a few of you." Mother is so happy, go, mother will make food for you. ”

"Mother, there will be silver in the future. I said, I will definitely send my second brother to school, second brother, I did it. Ziqing made a strange face at Zilu. Zilu nodded vigorously.

When he came back five days later, Shopkeeper Zhou also brought another good news, saying that the last time I came to see a lot of chickens at home, they can have all the eggs in the future, and the chickens too, because their owner has its own restaurant.

It seems that the Shen family didn't give them more than 200 copper plates in vain last time, no, they took the initiative to solicit business.

Ziqing hurriedly said that the chickens they raised definitely tasted better than others. And caught a steer, took ten eggs for the shopkeeper Zhou to give to the owner to taste, and the price will be set next time he buys watermelon. This time they pulled more than 3,000 catties away, and Shen took sixty taels of silver, and the remaining fraction also let them drink and eat. Looking at these silver ingots this time, everyone is much calmer.

Shen saw that there was still some time before cutting rice, so he wanted to go back to his parents' house to have a look, and sent a few melons to He to try. Shen also thought about the question of whether to send it to Tian's or not, and hesitated for a long time to wait until the end of the month, if he knew that his watermelon was sold for so much silver, something might happen.

Ziqing picked out four watermelons for the Shen family and went to Baitang Village, and the Shen family took Zilu with them, and also brought the clothes made for the He family. Originally, she wanted to pick Zixi, but Ziqing was worried that the road was far away and she couldn't take care of it on the road, and it wasn't the first time she had taken care of Zixi alone. Shen thought that this was indeed the case, so he left Zixi.

After returning from his mother's house, the Shen family has been in a good mood, and after so many years, he can finally honor his mother and brother, and finally let them rest assured.

Time in a flash to the fifth day of the first month of June, Zeng Ruixiang had a summer holiday, when he entered the door, he was catching up with the shopkeeper last week to bring people to pull the third batch of melons, I didn't expect so many people to come to the house, and the shopkeeper of Zhou didn't expect that the male owner of this house was actually a showman, and the two sides were polite. The last time I came, it was eighteen and one catties, this time it was twelve, and I picked more than three thousand catties, Ziqing estimated that it would be almost the end of selling this watermelon again.

The Shen family didn't tip them this time, and the family gave them a melon, and the four of them were more satisfied. Zhou's shopkeeper also set all the more than a dozen steers at home, let them be raised for a while, and said that the owner said that the chickens outside sell for 15 wen a catty, and the owner sells 18 wen, and the eggs are at the same price as the outside, so Shen took away the hundreds of eggs he had saved recently.

After sending them away, Shen smiled and talked to Zeng Ruixiang about the income from selling melons in the past 20 days. "I really didn't expect that because of the child's unintentional actions, our family would be lifted out of poverty in half a year, this time, I should be completely relieved. I'm ready to build a big house in the fall, so you should think about what to build, our family is not bad for money. This watermelon has an income of more than 100 taels, and there are 15 taels of vegetables sold in the early stage. Shen looked satisfied.

After dinner, the family gathered under the starry sky to cool off, and when it came to building a house, Zeng Ruixiang and Shen were not annoyed, saying that anyone who had any ideas could mention it, and let Zifu take a note.

"I said, I want a room of my own, a nice big bed, and a thick quilt, and I don't want to sleep on straw." Ziqing said.

"I want a study, I want three big bookshelves, and I want to buy books I like." Zifu said.

"I also want to study, I want to go to a private school, and when I come back from school, I also have to study with my eldest brother in the study. I don't want to sleep on straw either. Zilu said.

"Then what do I want, I want to be able to eat enough every day, and I want meat to eat." Zishou's requirements are the easiest.

"I'm going to have a bathing room, let's build a bathing room, I'm going to bathe in a big wooden barrel. It's really inconvenient for our family to take a bath like this now, and it's good to have a separate clean room. Ziqing said.

"Qing'er's request is good, my mother also wants this, and it is still more convenient and comfortable to take a bath, especially for our women." Shen said.

"None of you find it inconvenient?" Zeng Ruixiang asked.

"Actually, I've long felt inconvenient, but I'm embarrassed to say it." Zifu said.

"I don't want a thatched pit like that in the old house, if I'm not careful, I will have to fall down." Ziqing is still afraid of squatting on the two planks on the pit to solve the problem of.

"Then what do you have good ideas, my mother knows that you have always been quirky." Shen looked at his daughter with a smile.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, let's dig a pit outside the clean house, cover it with a wooden cover, dig a hole from the clean house, people squat, and after solving it, wash it into the pit outside with water. What do you think? Ziqing's expression of "Praise me" made the big guy laugh.

Zifu hugged Ziqing, touched Ziqing's head, and said seriously: "Look whose sister this is, she is so smart and clever, she really looks like her brother." ”

"Brother, are you praising me or yourself? I've seen thick-skinned people, but I've never seen you so thick-skinned. Ziqing pretended to be dissatisfied.

"What Qing'er said makes some sense, Zifu, you think about it better, make it more comfortable, it's better to draw the picture." Zeng Ruixiang said.

"Dad, and the windows should be opened wider and the light should be brighter, otherwise the room will be dark, and it will be inconvenient for them to read books." Ziqing added another one, she really didn't like the house on the other side of the old house before, there was not even a window, although it was a house separated by wooden boards, it was better to make the hall brighter, it was really a shame for how the Shen family had lived there for ten years.

The family, with a vision of a better life in the future, laughter and laughter floated far and wide.
