"Brother, you tell your mother, I'll go out with Xin'er and come back in a while."
After saying this, Xiaoyu pulled her heart and walked out, and the two discussed to find other friends.
"Sister Xiaoyu, let's go find Peach Blossom."
"Ah, okay, let's go, then."
Xiao Yu paused for a moment before speaking.
"What's the matter, Sister Xiaoyu, have you had a conflict with Peach Blossom?"
Her heart, which has experienced a lot of things, is obviously much more sensitive, and this time she felt that there was something wrong with it.
"Nope."
"Then what did you ...... just now?"
"Actually, it's nothing, haven't you rarely come out to play with us in the past two years, and slowly we rarely play together."
"That's it?" I was a little skeptical.
"Well, that's all."
Xin'er stopped discussing this topic, and the two talked about recent events again.
Not long after, the two arrived at Peach Blossom's house, but Peach Blossom was taking care of her younger brother and said that she didn't have time to play with them.
There was no way, so the two had to go back the way they came.
Xiaoyu pulled Xin'er to find other friends, and in the end, more and more of them followed.
Not long after a few people played in the village, Youyi and Xiaohu and a group of them also came to play not far from them.
In the afternoon, on the way home, Xin'er couldn't help but say to Youyi: "I haven't come out to play for a long time, and I feel that it has changed a lot." ”
She is not to blame for this, they used to have a lot of time to play when their parents were there, and they had to go to the village twice a day to run two laps.
But later, as the pressure at home increased, they rarely came out to play, and slowly their former best friends gradually began to become unfamiliar.
"It's okay, you won't feel like this if you go to play a few more times in the future, and now there's nothing to do until the New Year, you can just go out and play with them."
"Hmm."
It's true, since I feel the change in my heart, I will go to the village from time to time to play with friends, and sometimes a few friends can discuss needlework together.
** year-old children, unless they are particularly spoiled girls in the family, almost all have begun to learn needlework, and there are naturally more topics together.
It took nearly a month for Xin'er to start to be active in the village again, and at the same time, he didn't meet Zheng Zhi and them, but they rarely spoke.
In the past month, Xin'er has begun to learn to read and write with Feng Yu'an, Xin'er is very smart, and now she can write her own name and a righteous name, you must know that Feng Yu'an also has very little time to teach them.
On this day, Feng Yu'an took a break and didn't go to the county seat again, so Xin'er pulled him and asked him to teach them a few more words.
"Teach me a few more new words, I've learned everything you've taught before."
"You've learned it all?" Feng Yu'an was a little surprised.
"Yes, you see this is my name, this is my brother's name, I can write it, and these one, two, three, four, five, six, do you see it?"
Xin'er took a stick and wrote those words on the ground one by one for Feng Yuan to see.
"Well, that's right, Xin'er, you're really good."
Feng Yu'an watched her write out the words he had taught her before, word by word, before he really believed that she had really learned, and praised without hesitation.
"Of course, you're so good, what would I do if I wasn't so good."
"That's right."
Feng Yu'an was very satisfied with the sycophant of his heart, and raised his head complacently.
"So you can teach me a few more words, I don't have anything to do during this time, I can practice more every day."
"Okay, since you've learned everything, I'll teach you the other."
"Okay."
……
……
One of them taught, one learned, and the time passed slowly, and soon it was afternoon.
"It's not too early, I should go back, I taught you today that you have nothing to do with more practice, don't forget the previous ones."
"Okay, I see, why don't you stay for dinner?"
Xin'er was still recalling the words just now, so she said casually.
"No, I'll go home and eat, I'll go."
The two families were already very familiar, and after Feng Yu'an finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"I'll send you."
Xin'er watched Feng Yu'an go away, and it wasn't until he entered Feng's house that he turned around and went back to continue to gesture at the words he had just learned.
Youyi also followed along to learn, but he didn't learn as fast as Xin'er, Xin'er learned four words, but he only learned two, but he was already very satisfied, because Xin'er would always teach him again later.
It's going to be the New Year again, and the pigs at home are fattened, so it's time to sell.
Xin'er They didn't think about killing the pig and keeping it for themselves, a pig can be sold for one or two taels of silver, according to this, raise one or two more next year, and the money they owe to the Feng family will be repaid, and in another 3578 years, maybe all the land in the family can be bought back.
For the future prospects, the heart is very good.
Now, Xin'er's goal is to buy back the three acres of land that her family sold before, even if she can't buy back the original one, she has to buy something else.
She still believes that she can buy back their family's original land, because the other party is the Feng family, and the current relationship between the two of them is still very good.
This year, there is a pig, and the brothers and sisters are fed very carefully in the next half a year, and the pig has also grown fat, with more than 200 catties, and it has been sold for more than two taels of nearly three taels of silver.
Originally, there were more than one or two taels of silver in the family, plus the two taels of the pig sellers, there were almost four taels, and they could repay the money owed to the Feng family by one or two, and Xin'er and Youyi were both very satisfied.
Youyi wanted to sell the pig and take the money to replace it, but Xin'er disagreed, she didn't want to change a little this year and pay back a little next year, she wanted to wait until she had saved enough and then pay it back together.
After the death of the Wang family, Xin'er clearly knew one thing, and knew that the family must have some money at any time, otherwise it would be too late to regret it if there was any emergency.
Of course, the main reason why she can think like this is that the Feng family did not urge them to repay the money, nor did they set a time limit for them, plus she dared to know the Feng family's personality, so she could have such an idea.
If it were the previous time when the family owed money, the debtor came to the door from time to time, she really wouldn't have such an idea.
Youyi didn't agree with her idea, but in the end he reluctantly agreed, but he also proposed to find a place to hide most of the family's money, and he couldn't use it if he didn't have an emergency, so he still wanted to pay back the money earlier.
In fact, even if he didn't say this, Xin'er would do it, after all, she just wanted the family to have some money to deal with emergencies.
Four taels of silver, the two decided to take out three taels of silver and not move, and the other one or two of silver to use.
The two of them have discussed that they will buy two more piglets next year, and when they sell them for the Chinese New Year next year, they will have enough money to pay off the debt, and they will have a little left.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have set aside so much money to come out.
