Chapter 171: The two families are in trouble
"Do you want silver ingots?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her with great interest.
Ding Xuewei wanted it, but 1,845 taels was too much.
"Is there any gold?" With a flash of thought, she also asked directly.
Zhang Niangzi didn't seem surprised when she heard this.
"If others don't have it, you naturally have it."
What is the concept of eighteen catties of gold, Ding Xue smiled slightly for a long time, until the carriage stopped at the door of the cloth village, and she reluctantly stuffed the box into the space under the seat.
Knowing that she would be worried, Tian Chong did not follow her into the shop again, but waited outside.
Since then, Ding Xuewei doesn't care about three or two things when she buys things, and after saying two sentences, she won't continue anymore if she can't talk about it, so she decisively pulled the cloth, bought cotton and left.
When the carriage appeared at the meeting place, Aunt Bai and the others had been waiting for a long time, and several of them bought old hens.
"No roosters?"
Looking at the old hen that was thinner than the pheasant, Ding Xuewei only had one thought, whether the chicken was going extinct.
"We didn't have a choice of hens, we waited and waited to buy these ones!" Aunt Bai couldn't say anything: "If it weren't for the people in the city who really couldn't raise it, they wouldn't be able to buy these ones!" ”
"It's also that we don't think about it, who has nothing to do with roosters and waste food!" Aunt Zhang Qi added.
Ding Xuewei, who had just come to a family dinner not long ago, suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
When the carriage was marching, she lifted the corner of the curtain and asked Tian Chong.
"Uncle Tian, can you catch a few pheasants for me when you go back?"
"Yes." Tian Chong agreed without thinking.
Ding Xuewei was not surprised at all.
"Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome." Tian Chong grinned dumbfounded.
A thought flashed through her, and she added, "It's better to have fewer roosters and more hens." ”
"Hmm." Tian Chong responded again.
Jin Lao spoke, the rabbit would definitely not be able to run, so he helped the shopkeeper Wu pass the word, divided the potato sprouts, and she went to the pigsty.
Building a rabbit nest, Ding Xuewei felt that she could really do it, but she had to admit that this was not a job she could do, and after thinking about it, she went to find Zhang Qi.
It's hard to catch hares, let alone raise them, Zhang Qi is very curious about raising rabbits.
"Rabbit teeth are very powerful, and I'm afraid wood can't stop it."
"I didn't expect it, otherwise it would have been over if I bought some bricks before!" Ding Xue was slightly annoyed: "Let's put it up first, put more wood underneath, and I'll go to the city again." ”
Rabbits can bite wood, but chickens can't, and after building a rabbit pen, she thought about building a chicken pen with her hands.
When the idea of setting up the chicken pen was raised, Ding Xuewei felt that it was convenient, but she didn't want Pandi to come back with two strings of live chickens in the evening.
Tian Chong picked two strings of rabbits, more than fifty, and Pandi picked two strings of chickens, twelve, ten hens, and two roosters.
"I suddenly felt a little envious!" Ding Xue said thoughtlessly.
Jin Lao's eyes were full of question marks.
Raising his hand and touching his nose, Ding Xuewei said, "This dense forest is like Uncle Tian's backyard!" Take whatever you want! ”
"Anyone who has the ability can become his backyard anywhere." Jin Lao is quite profound.
Before she could think about the deep meaning of these words, she continued: "Haven't cooked yet?" ”
"It's all ready, it's waiting for you."
When he called Yuequan Village, Jin Lao felt that there were only two divisions of his time, one was the time to cook and the other was the time to wait for the meal.
Before the bowl stopped, he wondered what Ming'er would be able to eat in the morning.
"Burritos, white flour cakes made thinly, rolled with braised pork, shredded cabbage hearts." That's why she's making more braised pork today.
Obviously, he was full, but inexplicably, Jin Lao was hungry again.
"Let's go." Watching people dangle in front of him, he was afraid that he couldn't help it.
Everyone knows how delicious Jin Lao is, Ding Xuewei hurriedly took the babies and Tian out of the door.
After closing the hare and pheasant, adding some broad bean leaves and observing for a while, a group of people walked back slowly.
In the place near the door, Ding Xuewei and the group met with the Wang family and the Jiang family.
However, after two days of not seeing each other, Wang was not only emaciated, but also languished, and the original brand new clothes were replaced by patches and patches.
Don't think about it, her new clothes must be worn on Mrs. Wang.
In politeness, Ding Xue took the lead in shouting.
"No, you can't afford it."
The Wang clan slammed back and walked around the crowd, and the big and small Jiang clans didn't dare to raise their eyelids to follow her closely.
"Uncle Tian is amazing!"
If it weren't for Arita Chong's town, it is estimated that the Wang family would be able to tear their sisters apart.
"I'll scare them when I go back." Tian Chong was eager to try.
Ding Xue almost lost control of her head.
"They live in peace, and there is no need to scare."
If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, whether it's the Wang family or the Li family, as long as they don't come to find trouble for themselves, she doesn't bother to bother with them.
"Let's go, go back and have a snack."
How easy and comfortable Ding Xuewei's sisters and brothers lived, how miserable and annoyed the Wang family and little Li were, and how comfortable and full Uncle Li's family ate, the Li family hated how much it was itchy and sore lungs.
On this day, the last day of the first lunar month, Jin Huan, who had been lying for ten days in a row, was finally able to land, and the sweet potatoes that had been basking in the sun for ten days and covering the wet grass for ten days finally sprouted leaves.
"Xue Wei, it's no good, the Li family and the Wang family are in trouble with your grandfather."
"Trouble my grandfather?"
Ding Xuewei couldn't imagine where they got the courage: "Did you quarrel?" ”
"It's noisy." Bai Xiang gasped a few times: "The two families asked your grandfather to take them into the city to buy land, but your grandfather said that the city was not free during this time." The old lady of the Wang family didn't believe your grandfather's words, and scolded the heavens and said that your grandfather didn't want them to live a good life. Your little uncle cried and said that your grandfather didn't speak. When I came, the two families were crying and mourning! ”
Ding Xue was speechless.
Bai Xiang's words sound simple, but they are actually quite profound.
First of all, Uncle Li and his wife did not follow the stall again, and secondly, the Li family may refuse to buy him two acres of land.
Only when the Li family said that the old man would not let Uncle Li's family buy land, could Uncle Li's family say that they could refuse, and the two families had no possibility of waiting for the old man, so they would come to the old man when the Li family came out of the stall.
She'd have to go over and see.
When Bai Xiang entered the door, Jin Huan, who was holding a medicine bowl, was slowly drinking the decoction, and Bai Shuihan and An Ping were drying the herbs that Qiu Ling had brought back from Laidi these days.
Yuequan Village is too peaceful, it is difficult to see anyone shouting, Bai Xiang is here, it is Bai Shuihan is a little strange, yes, when the two are talking, they are listening with their ears pricked up.
Ding Xue turned her eyes slightly, and what she saw was Bai Shuihan's swinging palm.
After she gave a blessing, she hurriedly pulled up the white incense: "Go." ”
Roar, ask for tickets, ask for collections...
