Merchant ships buy and sell and transport goods, come and go in the wind and rain, bear a lot of risks, and earn hard-earned money. Now that something like this has happened, it's really sad enough. As for the guys on the boat, most of them are people who support the boat, and the three most arduous trades since ancient times, such as holding the boat, striking iron, and selling tofu. Most of the boaters came from poor families and were the main pillars of the family, and it was a fatal blow for them to fall to these families.

Lan Yi figured out what the women were going to get from her. She frowned displeased, if the Hua family discussed it with her, she would have reached out to help, but it was absolutely impossible for them to figure out how to get benefits from themselves to solve their urgent needs.

"Second brother, do you know what the Hua family's merchant ship is pulling?"

"Three boatloads of cotton and cloth, and a boatload of leathers, are all items to keep out the cold and survive the winter."

Lan Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, could it be that the bandits got the news in advance and planned to rob this cargo to make cotton clothes this winter?

Wang Linxi's face was solemn, "With the news of Brother Tuesday, I don't have to go to Uncle Yang." Sister-in-law, it seems that it is because of this matter that they make it so difficult for you. I'll sum up with my father and third brother tonight, and my sister-in-law is resting at home, don't worry. ”

After Wang Linxi hurried away, Zhou Weiji hugged Wen Xuan and walked into the door of Lan Yi's house, "First, let's eat." ”

Jia's meal was almost ready, and when he saw Zhou Weiji coming in, he neatly added a few steamed buns to the pot, and the meal was quickly placed on the low table in the kitchen.

Yu'er saw Tuesday Bo come in with his younger brother in his arms. first pulled him to see the little pony at home, and wanted to grind Zhou Weiji to teach them to ride a horse, but he was urged by his mother to eat.

Because there are no outsiders here. There was no separate table for men and women, everyone sat around and ate, Zhou Weiji ate quickly, after eating, he took the two children to walk the horse in the yard, and waited for Lan Yi and Jia to finish cleaning up the tableware, and then said to Jia: "Aunt Jia, I have something to discuss with Tao'er today." I have to trouble you to take care of Yu'er and Wenxuan. ”

Jia Shi nodded and smiled, "Go ahead, this is what I should do." ”

In terms of age. Jia's eldest Zhou Weiji is only four or five years old, and Zhou Weiji calls her "Aunt Jia" so seriously, which makes Lan Yi sound a little funny, but she can't find a better name.

"Aunt Yao. Wenxuan is also tired today. You get him some water to scrub in the greenhouse, and I'll be back in a minute. ”

Zhou Weiji did not take Lan Yi over the wall this time, and the two walked openly.

After entering Zhou's house, Zhou Weiji closed the door and led Lan Yi into the house.

"Second brother, haven't you had time to light a kang today? Shall I order it for you? "Zhou Weiji is not at home during the day, so naturally he will not start a fire on the kang. The ondol of the peasant households here is generally connected to the stove, and it is burned together when the fire is cooked. Xiang Lanyi and Zhou Weiji don't cook on the pot table in the hall house, but set up a separate room. The kang is a simple small stove that needs to be set up to warm the fire.

Zhou Weiji grabbed her and hugged her in his arms. "One by one, tell me about Huajia Village."

Lan Yi has now relieved her feelings, pushed him away embarrassedly, and said briefly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that Lin Shan's aunt insisted that the medicine I took killed my grandmother, but fortunately, Zhou Langzhong, who treated my grandmother, didn't leave Huajia Village, and it was okay to explain the truth in the past." ”

This little girl, when she first saw herself, she was wronged like that, things must not be so simple, and there must be a lot of details hidden. Zhou Weiji was very distressed by her character of always carrying everything by herself, he thought that she could rely on herself more, and when she was wronged, she told herself like Wen Xuan, and let herself be angry for her.

However, this is not in a hurry.

"It's okay, I'll accompany you to Huajia Village tomorrow."

Lan Yi was stunned, was he going to vent for himself?

"Second brother, Lin Shan's grandmother just died, with the current relationship between the two of us, it's not good for you to show up, even if you ask about the Hua family's merchant ship." Lan Yi persuaded, "The second and third brothers will accompany me tomorrow, but even if I am alone, they won't dare to go too far, don't worry." ”

"What is the relationship between the two of us now?" It's really not good for him to go now, but even if he doesn't go, Zhou Weiji has his own way to vent for her.

What relationship? What else can they relate to! Lan Yi hung her head embarrassedly, "Second brother, it's my fiancé." ”

Zhou Weiji's eyes showed warmth, and he stretched out his hand to support her shoulder, "Remember one by one, you don't have to be too strong in case of trouble, and I am here." ”

Lan Yi nodded slightly.

"Second brother, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Zhou Weiji mainly wanted to ask her about Huajia Village, but Lan Yi didn't want to say it, so he was no longer reluctant.

"I wrote to my uncle a few days ago, and he agreed to transfer the eastern courtyard to me. I also discussed with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother agreed to move to the village. "With the help of the knife and no blade, although it took some effort to convince the eldest brother, he finally agreed.

It's just that the fourth brother Gao Feng is very opposed, and he keeps saying that he wants Su Yongshen to live in a house in the city and be taken care of by their husband and wife. For this reason, the two of them closed the door and quarreled again, and the four brothers and sisters went back to their parents' house crying the next day, and Gao Feng refused to pick her up, so they were deadlocked.

Thinking of the appearance of the four brothers and sisters, Zhou Wei had a headache, he had little contact with women, but the women he saw liked to cry, make trouble and hang themselves, which made him quite upset.

Only his one by one, it won't be like this, Zhou Weiji's eyebrows stretched out again, revealing a simple smile: "I will clean up and tear down the house in the spring of next year, and there are still some wood at home that can be used in the sun, and I will exchange some from the people in the village, it will be enough." When building a house, ask the people in the village to help, and you should be able to pack up and move in in May. ”

Lan Yi looked at the four walls, and cleaned up and demolished the house in the spring, so where is he going to live?

"Second brother, it's also very fast to hire a few more helpers to build a house. Why don't you wait for the weather to get warmer before demolishing it? At the beginning of spring, the sky has not yet risen, it is very cold, where are you going to live after demolishing the house, why don't you talk about it after the spring equinox? "Although they are not at a high altitude here and surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is still very cold in winter, and Lan Yi has to cover two thick quilts when she sleeps.

Zhou Weiji heard her strong concern, stretched out his arm and patted his head, and said with a smile: "It's not all demolished, you haven't been to the east courtyard of your uncle's house, the east wing in that courtyard is newly built for a few years, and it can still be used." When I arrived, I would like to put the things in the house together and move them to live in the east wing. Our house should start early, I am afraid that when spring ploughing begins, there will still be a lot of things to be done in the yamen. ”

He must start early, clean up the house in May, and when Lan Yi marries in, he will be able to live in a bright new house. In this way, she can not wronged her little girl and fulfill her promise to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. (To be continued......) R1292
