Chapter 5: Preparing for the Desert
"Ouch, Cai Niangzi, you are too heavy-handed, we are not the ones who are difficult to say, I am not afraid to give you a thorough understanding, our screen is just a noble person, otherwise it is not worth so much."
I'll give you three more eight-pound quilts, and you can tear it down and save two more quilts. Xu Niangzi patted Hua Niang's hand.
"Ahem, I look good at these shoes." Hua Daddy found an opportunity to remind.
"Yes, there are ten more sets of adult uppers with mille-feuille soles, and five sets of uppers with soles for my daughter, so go home with me and change the screen!" Hua Tian put a tick "√" in Hua Niang's hand, which made Hua Niang receive the signal and agree to the deal.
"Superimpose two copies of the same amount on this gift, these two copies cost money, and the owner lady will settle the account." Hua Fansheng knows that buying these is indispensable to be nagged by the old lady, but the most expensive thing to escape is the shoes, not to mention the good shoes, not to mention, but also to prevent mosquitoes, insects, stone and sand.
"A pair of adult's shoes is 50 wen, and another girl's 20 wen is a pair, a total of ......"
"One tael, five dollars, sixty wen." Hanada helped count.
"Ouch, my sister is really ingenious, and just take one or two halves, and I'll be the master of sixty wen." Xu Niangzi is also a cheerful person.
The shopkeeper of the cloth shop here drove the mule cart back to the second courtyard of the town with three more men and a cart of goods.
Coincidentally, my sister had already arranged the big and small family in the front yard, and there was a bump on the other side, and my sister grabbed Hua Dad with shaking hands: "Second brother, I have heard what Sandezi said, I have taken it all away, we really have to ......"
"Sister! Right! Our family is moving! Hua Tian hurriedly blocked what his sister was going to say, here and there, now saying these may cause unnecessary panic, and you can't consider people's herd mentality.
"Leave two horses of these silk satins, shopkeeper, and the rest may be recycled? It's better to save money on the road. Daddy pointed to the tall stacks of satin.
"Okay, these cloths were sent at the beginning of the year, and I will take back sixty percent of the original price, and you can take away the six taels." The shopkeeper gave the money and pulled away the satin and the pine crane screen for longevity.
Hanada pointed to the remaining two "Fuxing Gaozhao" and "Wishing you prosperity" in this group of embroidery rooms, "We have to keep this well, maybe it can play an unexpected effect." ”
"This embroidery is really a god, this God of Wealth is like it is in front of you." Hua Daddy touched the Fulu Shuangzun as if it was attached to the red satin.
"This embroidery is amazing, do you know who passed it on to me?" Hua Niang slapped her father's messy hand away.
"Grandma, it's gone, it's almost lost." Hanada said regretfully.
"It's a pity, this is your mother's 'masterpiece', it's time to press the bottom of the box." Cai Xuefen deeply admires these traditional skills.
"Mother, you come." Hanada led his father and mother to the room and closed the door, took out the key to the hidden compartment under the bed to open the makeup box, and took out the key to the makeup box to open the drawer of the wardrobe.
He took out the makeup box containing the silver ticket from the drawer, pulled out another wall tile, and pulled out a gold brick inlaid with a porcelain pillow from inside.
Daddy Hua looked at his daughter's operation in a daze, and then looked at his daughter-in-law.
"Dad, you're enough, this is my mother's heaviest dowry." Hanada glanced at Hua Dad.
"Okay, father, mother, time is tight and the task is heavy, let's prepare to escape!" Hanada rolled his eyes and reminded, he didn't feel the tense atmosphere of the other family's escape from the wilderness.
"Girl, we have a head start. By the way, take out your letter and I'll sign it with your mother, don't believe it. Hua Dad persuaded Hua Tian not to be under pressure, but he didn't show that he was not relaxed.
This family has been practicing calligraphy since childhood, and soft and hard pens are not a problem, unlike those who say that they can write with a brush at every turn.
"Mother, you come." Hanada put the letter in his bosom and put it away.
"I'll go with you, father, and I'll have to pick up livestock. Xuefen, you can pick it up at home. Check what she received and check yourself. Daddy Hua gently hugged Hua Niang, "Let's go back when we go." ”
Fortunately, the family has not yet been loaded into the car, Sandezi drove with the father and daughter, and quickly caught up with the last trip to the county at noon.
After sending away the letter, Hua Dad took Hua Tian around the horse circle, and the accompanying man deeply realized that his eloquence would not be of much use in front of Hua Dad, so he shut up without trouble.
Hua Tian snickered in his heart, you must know that my father was the president of a livestock cooperative before joining the state-owned factory, so it is natural to choose livestock, look at the eyes and teeth, and look at the hooves to touch the stomach.
"How much do you say?" Hua Dad was shocked, a cow eighteen taels, caught up with six acres of dry land, this is the best value of wanting to do good in advance.
The boy was so angry with the flower father that he came up with a smile and licked it, "Xianggong, you have such a good vision, you picked the strongest cow in our whole bank, and the horse still has thirty taels, and the price of our cattle is already very fair." ”
"In that case, let's go, let's go to Matang Village!" The flowers are flourishing and are not praised at all, he speaks with strength, and he still needs him to brag?
When he came, Huatian had already told him that Matang Village was the production area for raising livestock and selling them.
"Huh!? Don't worry, I'll call the steward. The tooth man hurriedly dragged the flower daddy.
After the steward came out, Hua Fansheng introduced himself and pulled the Xiucai brother out to pull the big flag, and after some good talk, he bought a cow and two mules for forty taels, and then spared a cowshed and a mule cart.
"Steward Yu, it's easy to say, when I go back to the village to make a announcement, the villagers will come to buy it, but you don't have to be too expensive, it's better to hurry up and collect a few more." The flowers are flourishing and the steward is another friendship.
Hua Dad drove the ox cart to the flower field, and Sandezi drove the mule back to the grain shop in the middle of the street first, and moved a whole ox cart of grain from the backyard, because the ox cart was more solid.
Bring the shopkeeper Tong who broke a finger for his brother to block gambling debts and was rescued by his grandfather.
At that time, his brother did not repent after experiencing this, and the shopkeeper Tong broke off his relationship with him, and then he did not marry because of the broken finger, and he was raised by the orphan Sandezi in private, so he did not worry.
Shopkeeper Tong took over a mule cart loaded with department stores, and the group went back to the courtyard.
At this time, there were big bags and small bags in the yard, and there were four carts full of them, and I didn't see that my sister Jinghua could also drive mules, so the four carts full of people and goods galloped back to the northeast.
This provided great convenience for them to flee to the north, and from the northeast to the official road, they fled with food and were discovered!
They didn't want to go to Fucheng, and they might not be able to get out after entering the city. Therefore, after they entered the village, the village was all in order, and they planned to take the path north of the village into the mountain road at night.
