"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I feel like a dream, I don't feel pain when I pinch it." Liu sat on the kang head of Lan Yi's house, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled half drunk and half awake.

Last night, Second Uncle Wang called the family together, and Wang Linxi told him what the peony harvest was on the hillside, and the family was so happy that they didn't know what to do. Second Uncle Wang is a person who understands, and he asked Wang Lin Ximing to put out the harvest of peony seedlings on the hillside, the harvest of peony seeds, and the half of the red that was distributed to him.

"A total of six hundred and fifty yuan and one penny," Second Uncle Wang smoked a dry cigarette and smiled, "You two families have three hundred yuan, and I and your mother will keep the rest." ”

This number was discussed by the two old couples of Uncle Wang, Li listened with a smile and silently, she had been reading this number in her heart all day, and now she couldn't help but tremble with excitement when she listened to it.

Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan smiled and nodded, and Chen and Liu's eyes widened in disbelief. Liu Shi was almost pinched by the sour plum kernel in his throat, coughed a few times, and looked at Wang Linyuan blankly.

"Take this money for yourselves, and don't spend it indiscriminately, and don't go around shouting about it." Second Uncle Wang barely took up the appearance of Yan Sù's parent.

Everyone nodded their heads like pounded rice.

"If you can earn back this old money, your sister-in-law has an idea, you must not forget this love, what to do before the end of the year, you two will discuss it." Second Uncle Wang is sincerely grateful to Lan Yi and does not forget to remind his family from time to time not to forget.

The crowd responded in earnest. Second Uncle Wang took two puffs of dry tobacco with satisfaction, and then said, "It's worthless to keep the money." I thought it would be better to buy you some good land while the spring money was in place, and we wouldn't be able to buy too much. Just ten acres for a family, first ask who sells good paddy fields in the village, there is no suitable one in the village. Lin Yuan went to the city to find someone to inquire again. ”

Land is the foundation of the peasant, and the first thing the family does when they have money is to buy land, and no one opposes this. Second Uncle Wang continued: "Our old house was built more than 20 years ago, and when it was time to flip it, I bought the old yard of the Liu family next to it. Let's cover two sets of six rooms in one go, the three rooms in the west are the second, and the three rooms in the east are my and your mother's. It is also convenient to live. As for the money, I will take out twenty taels, and the rest will be out. The second, the second's family. What do you think? ”

Chen looked at her husband with a smile in her eyes. Rebuilding a house is a big deal, and she has to listen to her husband.

"Listen to Dad, let's build six rooms, and I'll pay for the money." Wang Lin was full of confidence and responded with a smile.

Chen nodded, six main rooms, how can they get twenty or thirty taels of silver, if they didn't dare to think about it last year. This year is different, and they come up with it effortlessly.

Wang Lin said strongly: "The house I live in now was just built before the separation. I used the money from the gang, and now I have to get a share of the house I want to build, and I will also pay twenty taels. ”

Liu nodded and said excitedly: "Yes, we should come out with this." Second brother, this time you have to build a good one, not only the main house, but also the east and west wings are covered with two rows, and the courtyard wall is covered with a doorway, although it can't compare with the style of the rich man Zhou, how can you compare Uncle Yang and Wang Dexi's family! ”

It's a pity that the house she lives in now has just been built, otherwise she should really get such a set, and she will live in a momentum.

Second Uncle Wang lowered his face, "Third daughter-in-law, what did I say before?" You can't shake it off with some money! Building a house is decent, solid and reliable, what are you doing with those imaginary things? I'm afraid that the people in the village don't know that we have made money, right? ”

As soon as Liu was told by his father-in-law, he quickly sat upright and nodded, no longer speaking.

Seeing her like this, Chen couldn't help but laugh. Li coughed and said: "This is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, in two days I will go to the temple to burn a few more pillars of incense for the Bodhisattva, donate some sesame oil money, the third daughter-in-law just got pregnant and don't move, the second daughter-in-law will go with me." ”

When Liu heard this, he looked at Wang Linyuan with tears, how could he not let her go for such a lively matter. Wang Linyuan pretended not to see it, and then said, "Dad." We have made money this year, everyone has seen it, buy land and build a house next year, and finally tell everyone that we have spent all the money and have no money left in our hands, so that those who borrow money in the autumn wind will not be able to open their mouths. ”

The younger son's words were exactly what the old man wanted, and Second Uncle Wang nodded with satisfaction, "That's what Dad meant, we don't have to worry about food and clothing now, but we can't be extravagant." How to live your life or how to live, you can't forget about the book if you have money, especially a few children, you can't spend money indulgently, and you can't teach your children to be the virtue of the old flower family. ”

After the two families dispersed, the Liu and Chen families were so happy that they didn't sleep all night, and they still couldn't believe it was true when they got up in the morning, until Wang Lin took the silver ticket back and handed it over to everyone, and they didn't know where to hide the money.

After hiding it, there was nowhere to vent this joy, and the two of them ran to Lan Yi's house and sat on the kang to have fun together.

Chen had laugh lines at the corners of his eyes, "Sister-in-law, Niuniu and his father are not in a hurry to build a house, wait for my sister-in-law and Brother Tuesday to get married, and we can move in before the freeze next year." ”

It is a certainty that Zhou Weiji will build a house in the spring next year, and it is difficult to find people to build a house together with the two families, and Zhou Weiji will build a house Wang Linxi and they will also go to help, so it is more appropriate to stagger the time.

Liu Shi pressed his chin on Chen's shoulder and blinked, "Second sister-in-law, this time you are fine, you don't have to live with your mother-in-law anymore, you can clean up as you want." ”

Chen smiled and pushed her away, "What nonsense! Sister-in-law, I want to buy a horse for Niuniu's father, and it is convenient to have a horse in and out of the county. ”

Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan are still riding ox carts or walking in and out of the county now, and Liu also nodded arrogantly: "Buy!" Let's buy it before the end of the year, buy two good horses, not as good as the emperor's royal horses, how can they not be worse than Brother Tuesday and Lei Fuzi's horses. Sister-in-law, can you tell Brother Tuesday and let him help pick two horses? Soma and Soniu are different, and the father-in-law's vision is definitely not as good as that of Brother Zhou. ”

Chen glared at her, and Liu reached out to block her mouth in trouble, "Oh, don't nag, I know what you have to say!" Isn't this just our concubine, don't you want me to have fun. ”

It feels good to be rich, and Lan Yi herself nodded happily. "Why should I tell Brother Tuesday to go, just let the second brother and third brother mention it to him, can he still care."

Zhou Weiji is still busy every day. Sometimes he doesn't come back at night, but fortunately, every time he comes back, he will tell Lan Yi what he has done and what he is going to do next to make her feel at ease.

"That's different, how can what we say work as my sister-in-law said." Liu smiled ambiguously, "Brother Tuesday couldn't hold back his sister-in-law's eyes——"

Lan Yi's face turned red, and Zhou Weiji was now more and more bold, like a leopard that had seen its prey. The pupils are glowing.

Chen dressed the eldest girl and took the initiative to say, "Sister-in-law, it's not too cold these days." Let's go around the city and buy more decent New Year's goods. ”

Lan Yi had this intention, and Liu even clapped his hands in agreement, "Let's do it." No one takes children. Ready-to-wear shops, silver floor jewelry, rouge gouache have to be transferred. ”

As a result, when it was time to set off, Second Uncle Wang was in an ox cart, and Li and Jia stayed at home to watch the children. Li was afraid that his daughter-in-law's body and bones were not appropriate, so he spread two layers of straw and a broken quilt on the car, and told him for a long time before leaving. Second Uncle Wang went out this time to go to the cattle and horse market in the city. So he put Lan Yi and her concubine at the south gate, and after a few words, he left.

After his father-in-law left, Liu let out a sigh of relief. took the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to the silver building.

Three plainly dressed country women, strolling from the first floor to the second floor, appraising every piece of jewelry, buzzed the heads of the shopkeepers who greeted them, and if they hadn't looked at the three of them very well-looking, the guys would have kicked them out long ago. In the end, Liu chose a pair of earrings inlaid with rubies and a handful of plum blossom grates, Chen chose a pair of carved silver bracelets and a silver hairpin, and the two bought a silver hairpin with beads for their mother-in-law Li. Lan Yi has a lot of gold, silver and jade jewelry from Mrs. Zhou and Zheng at home, and she mainly wants to see if there is a new style today, ready to use it when she gets married.

I didn't expect it to really make her fall in love with her forehead. This piece is like a red bean string, a few green leaves are evenly hung in front of the forehead, there is a pure gold peony flower carving the size of a dime between the green leaves, and there is a dark yellow bead in the center of the flower, although the bead is small, but there is a kind of mild luster. Supposedly, this forehead looks a little cheesy, but she likes it at first sight, especially the warm bead, which makes her feel at ease.

Lan Yi believes in intuition and eyesight very much, since this forehead wipe makes her feel at ease and love, it is extremely rare, she also let the shopkeeper who smiled to the back of his head wrap up the forehead, and the three of them put together the selected things together and began to bargain with the shopkeeper, the most expensive of these things is the amount selected by Lan Yi, the original price is fifty taels, and finally the store wiped the neck hemorrhage thirty taels and shot out.

Liu and Chen competed to settle the bill, but Lan Yi didn't pay a penny. After settling the money, the three of them took their things out of the largest silver building in Huang County under the enthusiastic farewell of the shopkeeper and the guys, and they all straightened their waists with a smile, and the feeling of spending money happily was really comfortable.

"Let's go, let's go to the ready-to-wear store!" Liu put the things in his arms, pulled the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law left and right and rushed to the ready-to-wear shop.

The price of women's clothing has always been more expensive. Although Huangxian County is located in a remote area, the women's clothing is also exquisite, the rich and noble people comb the cloud tip and clever forehead, the sideburns support the golden phoenix, the small family is the paper-cut lining hair, the ointment is fragrant, the flower is bowed, and the poor are extremely golden. A sock and a collar cost thousands of dollars, not to mention the embroidered clothes made of Zhejiang silk, and the soft middle clothes woven by dyed silk yarn! The three of them turned around for a long time, but they were still not willing to spend money, and in the end, they only looked at the appearance of the clothes, picked out good fabrics and went home to make their own clothes.

At noon, the three of them found a restaurant and ate hot noodle soup, and then went directly to the Castle Peak grocery store. Qingshan grocery store is located by the Qingshui River, which is the most lively place in Huang County. The grocery store is a first-class open four large rooms, the goods are clearly classified, neatly placed, the shelves of each goods are written with wooden signs with the name and price of the goods, and in front of each shelf stands a neatly dressed guy to help customers take the important goods to the counter for a closer look. There are a lot of customers in the grocery store, and the young guys who greet the business are smiling with a smile, kind and not sycophant. Whether the guests buy more or less or just take a look, they are greeted warmly and sent to usher.

"Sister-in-law, the guys in our store look more comfortable than the next one." Liu said proudly.

Lan Yi smiled proudly, these guys were carefully selected and trained by them, and the monthly money was a cut higher than that of the guys in other stores, and the effect was naturally extraordinary.

"The third brother should be behind, let's go around first, pick something and then look for him." Lan Yi pulled the two people and turned around in the grocery store.

Although it is called a grocery store, the layout of the store is very elegant, and the goods are of the middle and upper grade, and the price is naturally not cheap. Liu looked at a set of white porcelain bowls packed in a carved varnished wooden box and couldn't put it down, "Sister-in-law, this bowl is really beautiful, let's buy a set and put it in the house, oops, this set is better!"

The wooden box is covered with aqua blue brocade, and there are eight bowls of all sizes in a staggered manner, which is indeed very high-grade. Lan Yi looked at the other beautifully packaged goods again, and was very satisfied, Lin Xi and Lin Yuan's brains were indeed much more alive.

However, in order to buy a bowl for a beautiful box, there is always some meaning of buying a pearl, Lan Yi stopped Liu, and then turned down. The east of the Castle Peak Grocery Store is the Castle Peak Grocery Store, the decoration is more simple than the Grocery Store, and the shops are all kinds of mountain goods, and the trade is also very prosperous. The west of the grocery store is the Qingshan oil shop, which is placed in the peony seed oil, walnut oil, pine nut oil, rapeseed oil, etc., which is squeezed out of the Qingshan oil mill, with the highest price of peony seed oil, a pound of oil is sold to two times, and only the senior customers of Qingshan Shangji can buy in limited quantities, Liu and Chen smacked their tongues, but did not expect their business to be so good.

Lan Yi took a turn and only bought a few toothbrushes. After going to Meixian, she learned that Da Zhou already had a toothbrush made of horsetail hair, although it sounded disgusting, but it was much better than brushing her teeth with her fingers or willow branches. The Wang family in Meixian County all brushed their teeth with a ponytail toothbrush dipped in salt water, and Lan Yi and her two children came back from school and brushed their teeth every morning and evening. Unlike Jia's toothbrush, which is only willing to be replaced until it is hairless, Lan Yi is regularly replaced. Now that Zhou Weiji also started brushing his teeth at her request, Lan Yi sternly stopped his habit of rinsing his mouth with wine.

After looking for Wang Linyuan to come out, Lan Yi picked two sets of four treasures of the study for the Liu family and the Chen family, and Lin Yuan simply put down the business of the shop and became the little brother of the three of them. Although it is a big purchase, the three of them are also saving flowers, except for jewelry, other things they buy are for the family. When they went to the south gate to meet Second Uncle Wang at sunset, Lan Yi's legs were stiff, but the two of them were still full of interest, and Lan Yi really admired Liu, a pregnant woman.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, do you know the lame man in the back?" Second Uncle Wang pulled the reins of the cow, lowered his head and asked Lan Yi softly.

Lan Yi, who was beating her legs, followed the eyes of her second uncle and looked behind the oxcart, and saw a dirty-faced man in his thirties with thief eyebrows and rat eyes and dressed in a yellow ragged clothes shrinking his head and peeking here. When he saw Lan Yi turn around, he immediately cracked his mouth, revealing an untidy yellow plate tooth and a flattering smile. (To be continued......)
