Chapter 786: "Reward"
The carriage rolled along, the snow gradually fell heavier, leaving two rutted marks on the ground, and the joy of the return journey gradually faded after Fu Ge'er's father finished saying those words.
Although they did not have to cultivate the crops themselves, they also understood how bad a harvest could be for a farmer who depended on his crops for food.
However, if there is a natural disaster, it is not something that can be avoided by manpower, and what they can do now is to pray for good weather in the coming year, and second, to make some preparations for emergencies.
Fortunately, Fu Ge'er's father also said that if it doesn't snow often in the future, it won't matter, and a little snow in winter is originally conducive to the next year's harvest.
Lu Zheng was a little silent along the way because he remembered the soldiers in the northwest, Wen Tao didn't know what he was thinking, and he was a little distracted, but Du Yiheng and Lin Zixuan talked with Brother Fu'er's father from time to time, but it didn't make the atmosphere cold.
After getting along for most of the day, and these things that have been experienced together, Fu Ge'er's father is no longer so restrained, Du Yiheng joked with him, and he could pick up two sentences with a smile, no longer as embarrassed as he was at the beginning, and he didn't know how to answer.
Because of the snow, they were worried that the road would be slippery and difficult to walk, so they did not walk fast, and the original journey of more than half an hour was almost an hour.
The village where Fu Ge'er's parents were located was on their way back to the city from Zixia Mountain, but there was still a distance to go, and they had to walk back.
There happened to be idle horses, and Fu Ge'er's parents rode together, anyway, it was only a stretch of road, and there was no need to whip the horse fast, so it didn't matter if the riding skills were not good.
Fu Ge'er's father followed them on horseback twice along the way, but he also found some way, and it was not a problem to ride slowly with his wife.
Lin took a purse from Fu Dong and handed it to Fu Ge'er's mother.
The purse has a hard touch to the touch, but the corners seem to be a little smooth, Fu Ge'er's mother guessed that it should be silver, so she hurriedly refused to accept it.
"Madam, we can't help it, we haven't paid back the money for the child's illness, and besides, the money that Mrs. asked someone to keep is enough, and now there is still money left after taking medicine for the child, how can we ask for Mrs.'s money again."
Fu Ge'er's mother sincerely refused, not pretentiously.
Lin has a lot of knowledge, and this can still be seen.
Seeing more intrigues, the simplicity in front of him makes people feel very nostalgic, Lin has a tough attitude and stuffs the purse into the hands of Fu Ge'er's mother, and said: "Take it, the money is not much, it should be regarded as a little heart of our family for the child, our two families can have this connection, it can be regarded as fate, you don't shirk, now the New Year is approaching, the child is sick and needs to make money, and there are more places to spend during the New Year's Festival, even if you add some clothes and food to the child and the family, it is also my heart, Today, your husband and wife have done our family a great favor, I haven't thanked you yet, if you really don't want to go, then it should only be a reward for keeping a secret for our family, don't push it anymore, take it. ”
When they met twice, Brother Fu'er's parents were dressed very coldly, and the Lin family knew that the family's life was not very good, and for people like them, a verbal thank you was really not as affordable as money.
Of course, she didn't do this to gagged people with money, but she really felt that she wanted to help something, and adding things might not be suitable for them to use, and it was better to give money directly.
She asked Fudong to prepare this purse early in the morning, and there were two silver ingots of fifty taels in it, and a little broken silver, plus a silver ticket of one hundred taels.
It's not a lot of money, but it's not a lot for the average farmer.
The reason why the Lin family gave this money was also considered, and if they gave too much, Brother Fu'er's family would definitely not be able to accept it, even if they did, it might not be beneficial for their family to suddenly become rich from the sky, but it was better to help their family from somewhere else.
There are many Zhuangzi under the name of the Lu family, and there are many shops, if Brother Fu'er's family is willing to help her in the future, she will arrange it.
If her guess is correct, Fu Ge'er's parents are honest farmers, and I am afraid that it is more likely that they will choose to work in Zhuangzi.
Fu Ge'er's mother was unwilling to accept the money, but after listening to Lin's words, she thought about it and finally didn't refuse.
Her thoughts are simple, she only thinks that what the Lin family said is reasonable, one is that their family needs money, this is a fact in front of her, she is just a country woman who does not have much knowledge, she does not have such far-reaching vision and knowledge, and the poor life also makes her not go to fake Qinggao, and besides, they have received this money, it is also a good thing to be able to reassure the Lin family.
Although she dared to say that their family would keep this secret, it was more reassuring that the verbal promise must not have received benefits from others.
Although she has never read a book, she also knows the truth of short-handedness.
The guards went to see off Fu Ge'er's parents, and the others continued their return journey.
When they returned to the city, at the entrance of Beihua Street, everyone was about to separate.
Du Yiheng and Lin Zixuan had to go home, and Wen Tao also had to take Xie Wanrong back to the Wenguo Mansion, so he said goodbye to Lu Zheng, Lin and An Sheng, and then went in their respective directions.
After sending them away, Lu Zheng and his entourage went back to the Protector's Mansion.
Lin asked Si Qi to go to the Yongning Hou Mansion to deliver the news, saying that he wanted to stay with An Sheng to talk, and then send An Sheng back to the house later, but Si Qi took the order and left, so he separated from them halfway.
After Si Qi left, Lu Zheng and the others continued to walk in the direction of the Protector Mansion.
After about a quarter of an hour's work, the carriage slowed down, and after a few moments, it stopped.
An Sheng heard Lu Zheng say in the carriage: "Mother, An Sheng, it's here." ”
As soon as the words fell, Fu Dong opened the carriage door, Lu Zheng personally took the footstool and set it up, Fu Dong and Qing Wei got out of the carriage respectively, and then helped Lin and An Sheng down.
Lin took An Sheng's hand and went to the mansion, Lu Zheng followed step by step, the tranquility in front of the Protector Mansion had already been restored, and a thin layer of snow fell in front of the door, as if all the excitement of the past was covered up.
After entering the mansion, the Lin family asked Lu Zheng to take An Sheng to her courtyard first, and he first went to Rongxi Hall to meet the old lady Wei.
Things have made such a big fuss, and now although the lively drama has come to an end, there is still some finishing work to be done.
She didn't bring An Sheng over, but she was also a little selfish, at this moment, Rongxi Hall must not only be there for the old lady, but also for the Zheng family.
