Chapter 13 Silver Ticket
Qiubai thought for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”
After the meal, Qiu Bai instructed Qiu Ling, "You clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I'll talk to your uncle about something." ”
Qiu Ling did not doubt that he nodded very obediently.
Qiu Bai knocked lightly on the door, and only pushed the door and walked in after getting Li Zhi's permission.
Ye Zhiheng was sitting at the table in the room, and Li Zhi was standing on one side.
Qiu Bai cautiously looked at Ye Zhiheng's face, and only slowly spoke after making sure that he was in a good mood, "Big brother, our brothers and sisters have a very hard life without a father or mother......
"Two hundred taels." Ye Zhiheng interrupted Qiubai's tirade impatiently.
Qiu Bai nodded very happily, "Yes, yes!" ”
Ye Zhiheng stopped talking when he heard this, and turned his head to look out the window.
Qiu Bai hurriedly went to his room and took the jade in the box and put it in front of Ye Zhiheng.
Li Zhi hurriedly took out a bag from his clothes and handed it to Qiu Bai.
Qiubai took it and took it casually, so light! You won't be deceived! But even if she was deceived, she couldn't help it.
Silently went out of the room and went back to her room, opened the bag and saw that a stack of silver tickets was neatly stacked, she flipped through it slightly, and found that there were twenty silver tickets full of ten taels.
The originally depressed mood instantly improved.
This silver ticket is much easier to use than the jade, before she was still worried about whether she would be pitted or targeted by robbers when she went to the pawnshop to pawn jade, but now that it has been replaced by a small silver ticket, she doesn't have to worry about it at all!
The family didn't buy lamp oil at all, so Qiubai spent the first year here in such a dark light.
The next day, when Qiubai made breakfast and went to ask Ye Zhiheng to eat, he found that the room was empty, and Ye Zhiheng and Li Zhi left at some point.
It's really gone without a trace!
Qiu Ling was very sad about the sudden departure of "Uncle", and chattered in front of Qiu Bai for several days.
After the first month passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and Qiu Ling renovated the backyard and planted some vegetables and fruits.
It's February in a blink of an eye, and Qiu Xiaobao can also speak in a whole sentence, and cats and dogs have grown up a lot.
Because he still has a lot of money in his hand, Qiubai will buy some meat to eat every few days, and in three months, the four sisters and brothers have grown some meat and are no longer so thin.
A few days ago, Qiubai caught a rabbit, and the color was particularly beautiful.
She was reluctant to sell the rabbit, she asked Wang Liang to help kill the rabbit, the rabbit meat was stewed with potatoes, and the whole rabbit skin was kept.
Rabbit skin is not big, and if you want to make clothes, you can't do it.
A few days ago, Qiubai learned to sew some small objects, so she took out the rabbit skin with great interest and prepared to sew a small backpack.
She always felt uneasy about the two hundred taels of silver tickets at home, and the small backpack was specially used to hold the silver tickets, and it was made of rabbit skin, as long as she sewed it tightly, she didn't have to worry about getting into the water.
There is a snow-white rabbit fur side to do the front, the rabbit skin side she specially wrapped a layer of white cloth, so that it looks better, and in the inside with a white cloth separated a small pocket, sewn two buttons on it, used to hold some important things.
After the backpack was sewn, she felt very satisfied, and finally turned out some colored threads from the cabinet and asked Qiuling to weave them into colored ropes to make the straps.
She nailed the colored rope firmly to the sides of the backpack, the colored rope was not very long, and the backpack was just a little under her squeaky nest when she was leaning on her back, and if she wore a thin shirt outside, others would not be able to see the backpack at all.
Qiubai was very satisfied with her design, so that she could carry all the silver on her back, and no one would know.
"Eldest sister, is this really good, doesn't it seem very safe to carry all the money with you?" Qiu Ling said with a little worry.
Qiubai turned sideways and took out the box from the crack in the wall, and said confidently: "No, it's not safe to put it at home, let's not talk about mice, let's just say that one day we are unlucky to recruit a thief back, and we will have nothing."
Qiu Ling was still a little uneasy, after all, since she knew it, things like money were either hidden at home or buried in the ground, "But, what if you go out and meet bad people?" ”
Qiu Bai waved his hand disappreciably, "Where are there so many bad guys, look at it, we are dressed like this, even if we meet bad guys, the first thing that bad guys think of is definitely not robbery!" ”
Qiu Ling saw that Qiu Bai was so confident and believed it, "Oh." ”
Qiu Bai put all the broken silver in the box, gold rings and gold earrings into his backpack, and the twenty silver tickets were all folded and put into the small bag inside.
After taking these boxes, there were only some copper coins left, and the portrait of the poor painter.
Qiu Bai reached out and took out the portrait, thought about it and stuffed the portrait into the small bag.
She didn't put the copper coins in her backpack, but stuffed them into the pocket on her chest in case she needed them.
She looked at the snow-white backpack on her side, and always felt that something was wrong, so after thinking about it, she took off her coat, put the backpack on the back of her underwear, and then put the coat back on.
The outer shirt is very loose, and Qiubai itself is very thin, so I can't tell that there is a small backpack inside.
"Alright!" Qiubai clapped his hands in satisfaction.
It's May, the weather is starting to get hot, and it's time to harvest the wheat in the fields.
The two sisters of Qiubai and Qiuling each took a sickle to cut wheat, and the two were talking while cutting, but Wang Liang suddenly jumped out, still holding a sickle in his hand, "I haven't had anything to do in the past few days, so I'll come and help you." ”
Qiu Ling smiled and shouted, "Brother Wang." ”
With Wang Liang's help, the speed of cutting the wheat was significantly accelerated, but even so, it still took the three of them three full days to finish cutting all the wheat.
The weather is very good these days, there is no rain, and all the wheat is put in the field, and then all the wheat is brought home and the ears of wheat are taken down, so that they can be sold for money.
"I'm going to get the ox cart over, and it's faster to pull it with the ox cart." After Wang Liang finished speaking, he ran away with a gust of wind, but with a stick of incense, he drove the ox cart over.
The ox cart carried dozens of trips without stopping to transport all the wheat back to Qiu's house, and by this time the sun had already sunk in the west.
"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Wang Liang smiled innocently.
Qiubai thought for a while and said, "Why don't you eat here today?"
Wang Liang shook his head, "No, my mother has already cooked the meal, I'll go first." After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard like a wind.
Qiubai laughed "poof".
A yard full of wheat was piled up, and the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy.
Qiubai was worried that the wheat would be wet in the afternoon, so he called Qiuling to move the wheat to the firewood room together, and the two of them were already sweating on their backs after moving the wheat.
Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the cloudy sky, and in a few moments, raindrops the size of beans fell.
Qiubai was secretly glad that fortunately, the wheat had been moved into the firewood room, and it would be troublesome if it was to get wet.
The next day, Qiubai followed Wang Liang to collect the water cage as usual, while the three Qiuling sisters and brothers stayed at home to collect wheat.
After all the wheat was ready, it was sold at Uncle Zhang's house, and a total of half copper coins were sold, and Qiubai was very satisfied.
On this day, the Qiu family sisters and brothers had just finished breakfast when there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Qiu Doudou sprinted a few steps to open the courtyard door, and two officials with knives walked in.
Qiu Doudou was a little scared when she saw this, "Big sister! Eldest sister! ”
