Chapter 16 Keep a low profile

"I'll keep the rest of the gold bars first, and keep them as the capital for our old Liu family's turnover, and see if we can find another way out."

Meng Ran's sharp eyes swept over a circle of sons and daughters-in-law, "The gold bars were discovered by you, and each room also has a share, I hope you don't make a big deal and give me a low-key life." ”

"Or else...... If anyone leaks the wind and recruits thieves in the family, then I am not welcome! ”

The four sons and daughters-in-law all promised: "Mother, don't worry, our mouth is absolutely tight!" ”

"Then let's all go back and rest."

Meng Ran thought that there was no such plot in the original book, the old Liu family did not get rich overnight at all, they had been poor all the time, and they could only survive in the famine year by selling girls.

It is estimated that the fourth child can dig up gold this time, and it is also thanks to her daughter's blessing, and sure enough, with a baby granddaughter, the old Liu family will be able to turn lucky.

She carefully hid the box of gold, poured it for a long time, and made sure that it was hidden and foolproof, before she lay down in bed.

Before going to bed, I thought that I would arrange a summer cool suit for my granddaughter tomorrow, and at the same time arrange it for myself, this hot summer day is really sad.

Meng Ran thought about it, it was late at night, and he quickly fell asleep.

The other people in the fourth room were tired after a day's work, but they were extremely excited, and they got a whole piece of gold tonight.

It is much more expensive than 100 Wen private money, and this deposit is directly much richer.

They don't look at the whole box in the hands of the matchmaker/mother-in-law, after all, it will be their own rooms together in the future, sooner or later.

The people in the big house are much calmer, and with money, they can go to the hospital to see a doctor, take care of their bodies, and give birth to a boy as soon as possible.

Having a son in a dream of sleeping, after all, the dream came true, and the beautiful husband and wife slept through.

The people in the second room tossed until the second half of the night because of how to hide the gold bars from being stolen by thieves, and felt that it was not safe anywhere, and they kept moving back and forth.

The three rooms and the four rooms are all put away after a few bites of the gold bars, the heart is big, not afraid at all, there is money, and even sleeping becomes fragrant.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the roosters were crowing.

The people of Lao Liu's family woke up early in the morning, ate two corn tortillas, and went out to build a house with a bowl of gruel and pickles.

The four brothers did not forget the events of last night, and they did not speak, and their respective daughters-in-law looked at each other for a few seconds before happily going to work together.

Only their respective men were stunned, when did they have such a good relationship.

When I arrived, I saw the people who came to work yesterday, and Boss Liu greeted: "Brothers, come early enough!" ”

"That's not it! Come early, finish the work for your family, or you can have lunch early, yesterday's mother's craftsmanship is really good! Liu Jiaji said heartily.

The farmer gets up early to work, and can go back early at noon to rest.

The others also had a look of approval, yesterday's meal, they really ate deliciously, very satisfied, much better than the meal at home.

I hope that today's meal is almost the same as yesterday, so I won't lose money this time when I come to help out, and I still have to earn.

Boss Liu hurriedly replied with a smile: "My mother's craftsmanship is really good, don't worry, I'll go back to eat when I did almost the same work this morning!" ”

A few people nodded, didn't talk nonsense, just buried themselves in hard work, they were all honest and loyal men, exchanging their strength for money, working sincerely, and they were not worthy of their family's meals at all.

Working in Lao Liu's house, what kind of food they eat at noon, they don't say anything to the public, those who regret coming to Lao Liu's house to work, let them regret it.

If the rest of the village doesn't come, it would be best for them to work for a few more days, earn more money, eat well, and make a lot of money.

Honest and honest men are not stupid at all.

…………

Meng Ran was accustomed to the biological clock here, and he woke up at six o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't sleep while lying in bed.

The air was still so fresh this morning, as if you could still hear the birds chirping in the mountains.

It's a new day, and after she washes up, she boils an egg and boils a bowl of polenta for a healthy breakfast.

The granddaughters don't need her to worry, anyway, the eldest girl and the second girl are already nine years old, eight years old, and they will cook a thin porridge in a big pot in the morning, take a group of younger sisters, and a younger brother has had breakfast.

Since he had to come back to cook at noon, after instructing the eldest girl and the second girl to take care of the baby Yu'er carefully, Meng Ran set off to the town in an ox cart.

If it weren't for the eldest girl and the second girl's full experience in taking care of her sister, she wouldn't have worried about letting them take care of Yu'er, after all, in her eyes, they are all children.

Fortunately, after a few days, it was proved that the eldest girl and the second girl were still reliable, and she was able to put her mind at ease and go out to do errands.

Thinking of these two eldest granddaughters, Meng Ran decided to buy some snacks that the girls love to eat in the town and reward them.

The ox cart swayed slowly, and after more than an hour, he arrived in town, gave a penny, and got off.

There were only four or five cloth villages in the town, because there was not so much time, so she went directly to the one she frequented, Fuyun Cloth Village.

As soon as he stepped into the door, the boss of the cloth village greeted him, his slightly fat body did not affect his speed, and he leaked several front teeth, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, what kind of fabric do you want to buy?" ”

Meng Ran carefully looked at the fabrics placed in the cloth village, and she couldn't tell what fabric was the best and most suitable.

"Boss, I want a thin, smooth, soft, breathable, sweat-wicking fabric for summer."

Looking at the lady's dress, she didn't look like a rich person, so the boss said with some hesitation: "Auntie, the request you said, our store has such fabrics, but the price is a little expensive." ”

When Meng Ran heard this, he didn't panic at all, "The boss just takes it out, and I will buy it if it looks suitable." ”

Seeing that this lady was real, the boss of the cloth village no longer hesitated, and went directly to the warehouse to take out valuable and good fabrics.

As soon as the gauze and silk were taken out, Meng Ran did not hesitate, and directly bought several feet, spending more than five taels of silver.

This fabric was bought for herself and Yu'er, enough to make two bodies.

After buying the fabric, Meng Ran went directly to the grocery store, ran to several stores, and found saltpeter to sell, directly bought half a bag, and went back to try to make ice cubes.

The ice cubes made of saltpeter can not only cool down, it is estimated that she can also eat ice drinks, thinking about the happiness of summer, Meng Ran can't wait to take the saltpeter and run home.

But I haven't bought the food at noon, so I can only go to the butcher's shop, buy three catties of pork belly first, and then bring up the two big bones given by the butcher shopkeeper.

Take the ox cart directly back, go back early, don't rush to make lunch before noon, make ice first, and see if it can be successful.

I got out of the ox cart and put the things I bought in the house, and I saw that it was still early.

Meng Ran ran to take a large wooden basin, filled it with half a basin of water, and then placed the wooden basin in a large vat, and placed raw nitrate in the vat.

Then pour some water into the tank, saltpeter dissolves in the water, the water slowly cools down, and waits for a while before slowly forming ice cubes.
