288 Scraping together money
Chen Heyun nodded in response, and then cared about Li's body, "Did the child trouble you today?" ”
Li's face flushed slightly, the corners of her mouth went up, she shook her head, and her voice softened a little.
"This kid is as sensible as his brother."
When the Li family was pregnant with her first child, Chen Heyun's family was not as wealthy as it is now, because of going out to sea to fish, the whole yard smelled of fish, but she didn't react at all, she didn't vomit or vomit, and she ate deliciously.
Chen Heyun listened to Li's words, and recalled the scene in his mind, he thought about the days when Li accompanied him to endure hardships in the past, and his heart was a little moved, and he stretched out his hand and hugged Li into his arms.
"That's good, in a few months, your body is stable, let's go to the Yuzhou Mansion to have a good time."
Li shrank in his arms, did not refuse, and responded with a smile, "Then I can remember it." ”
Chen Heyun rested his chin on her head and smiled without saying a word.
Night.
The man in charge of every family in the Chen family went to the village chief's house, and the village chief told Chen Qingzhou that he was going to the capital to study, and explained the reason for gathering them.
Sure enough, none of the big guys objected, and they all opened their mouths to express their willingness to pay.
Chen Qingzhou, this child, basically grew up by them, he has a future, and they are all happy in their hearts!
The village chief raised his hand, made a downward motion, signaled the big guy to be quiet, and then said loudly: "I also know the situation of the big guy.
Since our village began to improve the saline-alkali land, the documents signed with the restaurant have been invalidated, and the big guys have no input now.
And not long after those fields were planted, the big guys spent a lot of silver, and everyone has old people and children to raise at home, so this matter is weighed by themselves, more or less, they are all a piece of mind, understand no! ”
As soon as the village chief's words fell, the others happily agreed, "Uncle clan/clan uncle, don't worry, we all have it in our hearts!" ”
The village chief nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, Chen Jinyuan came out with a pen and paper, and the paper was spread on the table, which was used to register how much silver each household had produced.
The people of the Chen clan lined up and reported the amount of silver they had given to Chen Jinyuan first.
This is a major event in the clan, everyone is very positive, and after reporting the number, they hurried home, and when they came back, they had more money on them.
Chen Jinyuan didn't count, whoever gave it made a mark after his name, he was still full of trust in his own clansmen.
After the tribesmen finished giving the money, they went home, and the hour was not early, and they had to rest early because they had a lot of work to do.
The village chief looked at the basket on the table, which contained copper coins, broken silver, and ten taels of silver tickets... He had some pantothenic acid in his nose.
The village chief leaned on crutches, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and counted the silver coins in the basket with Chen Jinyuan.
Scattered, there were nearly two hundred taels of silver, Chen Jinyuan took the abacus and calculated the registered amount, and there was no error.
The village chief bent his waist slightly, he was old, and the whole person looked spiritless at all, and his voice was dying.
"Put away all the money, keep a few taels of silver, and exchange the rest for silver tickets at the county bank tomorrow!"
He felt uncomfortable and a little guilty, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as the village head, but as the patriarch of the Chen family, he seemed to have never helped the clan to make profits.
Even now that there is such a good boy in the clan, he still has to be shy and let the clansmen pay for it...
He couldn't help but wonder if it was right for him to bear the burden of the village chief?
The old man staggered back to his room with a cane, and the wind took away his sighs, and no one heard them.
Chen Jinyuan looked at his father's back, and somehow, his heart seemed to be twisted into a ball, as if he was about to lose something important.
He frowned, shook his head, put his thoughts aside, and focused his attention back on the money on the table, he still had to be busy!
The next day, Chen Jinyuan took the silver money, took an ox cart to the county seat, and after changing the silver ticket, he went to Chen Heyun's shop.
Chen Heyun was about to go back, and when he saw Chen Jinyuan coming, he was a little surprised, "Why did you come here?" ”
Chen Jinyuan didn't elaborate, but said, "I went to Qianzhuang to do something." ”
Chen Heyun understood as soon as he heard it, his eyes flashed slightly, and he pointed to the ox cart on the side, "It just so happens that I will go back, a piece?" ”
Chen Jinyuan originally came to inquire about the news, and when he heard Chen Heyun's words, he immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'm welcome." ”
"It's all my own brothers."
Chen Heyun raised his leg and went to the ox cart, Chen Jinyuan followed him, and the two did not open their mouths tacitly.
Until they got out of the city gate, the two of them sat in an ox cart and drove on a deserted road, Chen Heyun held the reins with one hand, and touched the silver money in his arms with the other hand silently.
He asked, "How much silver has come out of the clan?" ”
Chen Jinyuan lowered his eyes slightly, and did not hide it, "Two hundred taels." ”
The village chief also took out the silver and rounded up the number so that he could exchange it for a silver ticket, but he didn't let Chen Jinyuan register it.
Two hundred taels is not a small amount for the ordinary people of these villages and towns, and if they are more frugal, they can farm and cultivate the land, and a family of four is enough to spend a lifetime.
But in the capital, it is only about 40 tables, and it is only a medium to high table.
Not to mention that Chen Qingzhou did not go to the capital to make a living, but to study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, all of which are expensive things.
Chen Heyun thought about it and quickly made a decision in his heart, but he didn't tell Chen Jinyuan.
There are some things that don't need to be known to everyone, it's enough for those who should know to know.
Chen Heyun picked up the wicker on the side and waved it on the cow's buttocks, speeding up a little.
The two soon arrived at the village chief's house, Chen Jinyuan led the person into the hall, the village chief walked out with a cane, and after the father and son exchanged glances, Chen Jinyuan silently retreated.
Chen Heyun got straight to the point, and took out the silver ticket that he had prepared a long time ago, "Uncle, my shop is busy, I have to rush back later, here are three hundred taels of silver, and I hope you can help transfer it to Cihai." ”
The village chief had thought about taking more silver from Chen Heyun, but he didn't expect that Chen Heyun would be three hundred taels as soon as he made a move, he was stunned, and he couldn't say anything in his heart after coming back to his senses.
Some are relieved, some are touched...
The juniors in the clan are all good, and he can die without regrets in the future.
The village chief looked at the silver ticket handed by Chen Heyun, trembled and reached over, and instead of answering, he patted Chen Heyun's arm.
"Good boy... Uncle thank you for Qingzhou! ”
Chen Heyun smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, what you said is polite, we are all family!" ”
The village chief nodded with moist eyes and took the silver ticket in Chen Heyun's hand.
Chen Heyun said that it was true that he was busy, gave a silver ticket, and said that he wanted to leave without taking a sip of tea.
When the village chief saw him like this, he couldn't keep him anymore, so he watched him leave with a cane.
When the ox cart gradually disappeared at the end of the road, he said hello to Hui Niang, took a huge sum of five hundred taels and a small bag of broken silver, and went to Chen Cihai's house.
