Feng Yuan'an's departure did not bring any changes to Xin'er, how they lived before and how they lived now, but Xin'er's heart had a faint worry.

The lotus flowers in the fish pond are grateful, and they grow fresh and tender lotus canopies one after another, and they still make people feel a little beautiful when they look at them occasionally.

When the lotus seeds were just growing up, Xin'er went down to the pond and picked two lotus pods and came back, and the brother and sister ate one like this.

To be honest, the taste is quite good, except that they didn't get the lotus heart out at the beginning, and there was no problem after eating two bitter ones.

After the lotus seeds were ripe, Youyi wanted to collect all the lotus seeds and sell them in the city, but he was a little hesitant.

Although the price of lotus seeds is really good, they don't grow many lotus roots, and they harvest even fewer lotus seeds, so even if they sell them, they can't buy much money.

Moreover, lotus seeds also have an effect on the body, but there are not many anyway, so I want to keep them for themselves to eat.

The brother and sister hesitated for several days for the two lotus seeds that were less than two catties, and finally won and kept those lotus seeds.

In addition to keeping some for themselves, the two also sent some to the old mansion, a little to the Feng family, and a little to the village chief's family, and in the end, there was not much left of their own family.

The relationship with the village chief's family has not been relaxed, not to mention anything else, just say that a good relationship with the village chief's family is only good for their brother and sister.

What's more, the village chief's family helped them a lot when their family had an accident, and they have been taking care of them all the time.

If nothing else, for the sake of the previous village chief's family's kindness to them, they should not relax.

And the Feng family, not to mention, Mrs. Feng almost treated her as their own daughter, and it was even more appropriate to give them this little thing.

What's more, the Feng family didn't give them anything on weekdays, even if it was a courtesy.

On this day, Youyi went to the county seat to sell vegetables again, and this time, he came back quickly, and he didn't carry back the basket or anything like that.

"Brother, why did you come back so early today? Are all the dishes sold out? Where's your back basket? How did you come back empty-handed? What's wrong? ”

Finally, Xin'er thought of a possibility and looked at him anxiously and worriedly.

"Not yet, I put things in the city for people to watch for me. Xin'er, can you give me ten taels of money from the family, I have an urgent need. ”

Youyi looked anxious and asked for money from Xin'er.

"Ten taels!! Brother, what the hell is going on, why do you want so much money at once? ”

When I heard that I wanted ten taels of silver, my heart was stunned, ten taels of silver was not three taels or five taels, and their brothers and sisters had only saved twelve or thirty taels after so many years of frugality, which they saved to buy land.

"Xin'er, don't ask so much, you give me the money first, I'm really in a hurry, people are still waiting, and the rest will wait for me to come back and then tell you slowly?"

Youyi is also anxious, and he asks for money with all his heart.

Xin'er was a little reluctant to give it to him, she hadn't said anything clearly, a mouth was ten taels of silver, how could she just give it to him.

However, she could also see the anxiety on his face, thinking that most of the family's money was earned back by him, and in the future, the affairs of the family would still be handed over to him, or she went to get the money for him.

"Brother, you must tell me if you encounter anything, these ten taels of silver are not a decimal number, they are saved by us in the past ten years of frugality, you must be cautious."

When handing over the money to him, Xin'er said to him earnestly.

She wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know anything, and she didn't know how to persuade him, so she could only think of such words.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely be cautious, I know how important this money is to us."

After saying this, Youyi almost ran out with the money.

Speaking of which, the brother and sister are also very smart, and maybe there is also the help of Feng Yu'an or Master Feng.

The Ding family's silver coins were basically exchanged for silver ingots, one tael, and five taels.

Almost all of their family's money is saved by selling vegetables, or buying pigs and selling things, and most of it is copper plates.

At the beginning, they just had too many copper plates at home to store, and three or five taels of silver was a lot of copper plates, so the two of them thought about going to Yinzhuang to replace the copper plates with silver for storage.

It's just that they weren't familiar with these things, so they asked Feng Yu'an for help, and Feng Yu'an didn't know about such things, so they went to his father, Master Feng, again.

Then, Master Feng told them a lot about the exchange of copper and silver, as well as the business opportunities involved.

The exchange rate of copper plate and silver has ups and downs, sometimes a hundred copper plates can be exchanged for one or two silver, and sometimes one or two silver can be exchanged for one thousand or two hundred copper plates.

After Master Feng explained to them, they knew that there was such a thing during this period.

So, the brother and sister are not in a hurry to exchange money, and it just so happens that Youyi often sells vegetables in the city, and from time to time to inquire about the exchange rate of copper and silver, and when they find an opportunity, they go to exchange.

Because of this, they have also made some money from it in the past two years.

Now, almost half of their house is silver, and the rest is copper.

This time, Xin'er gave Youyi six taels of silver, and the remaining four taels were given copper plates, and there was also a big bag when he held it.

After Xi Youyi took the money and left, his heart was always quiet, and he always felt that something was happening.

This afternoon, Xin'er felt that this time was really too slow, like a month had passed, and she finally knew what Feng Yu'an said about living like a year, which was what she was like now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait and wait, and when it was afternoon, Youyi hadn't come back yet, and my heart was even more worried.

In the past, he came back almost every time before noon, but today he came back once before noon, and he didn't stay at home long, he took the money and left, and two or three hours have passed, but he has not returned.

Originally, according to the past, she should have gone to find pigweed and cook rice at this time, but she didn't look for pigweed until now, let alone cook, she didn't even think about it.

In fact, she went to the field in the afternoon, but she didn't do anything after wandering around the field for a long time.

She also knew that she couldn't do anything in her current situation, so she simply went home with the basket on her back.

She waited at home until it was dark, and then she came back from the city, and when she came back, she brought back a girl.

Originally, she was anxious in her heart, worried that something would happen to Youyi in the city, so as soon as they came back, she saw that there was another person next to her brother.

"Brother, who is this?"
