Chapter 66: Gift-giving
"Uncle Han Lin, it's not our fault to steal your bricks and tiles, I originally thought that when your house was built, I would make up for the bricks and tiles for you, but I didn't think about ......it."
"But this ginseng can be sold for twenty or thirty taels, I can't swallow it with a clear conscience, your house is in need of silver." The third child explained.
"Third child, I won't hide it from you, I have dug up several roots of such little ginseng, since Fubao gave you a small tree, you can take it, but you should try not to talk about it."
Old man Xiang thought about it, their family started a house, and sent their children to private school, but in the end they couldn't hide it, if it was said that it was a safe salary, it would definitely not work, it was better to take this opportunity to dig up little ginseng.
"Uncle...... Don't worry, I'll try not to say it, by the way, uncle, we separated. The third child's eyes flashed, and he had already understood what the old man Xiang meant, and said ashamedly and happily.
"Separated?" Old Man Xiang was taken aback.
"My eldest brother is a man...... Hey, I can't let the little tree learn badly anyway. The third said.
"Okay, it's good to split up, congratulations, send Xiaoshu to a private school next year to test your fame." Old man Xiang smiled, the villagers, who doesn't know whom.
This came to the heart of the third child, and the third child happily took his daughter-in-law and Xiaoshu to the county, sold the ginseng to the Hanzhuang Pharmacy, and got thirty taels of silver, and the third child went to the gold shop without saying a word.
I spent fifteen taels of silver to buy a gold bracelet, which was to be given to Fubao, and the third daughter-in-law hurriedly spent two taels of silver to buy a silver bracelet, saying that this was what my mother wanted to buy for Fubao.
The third child is warm in his heart, although his mother is greedy for a small amount, she is still sensible in big things, thought about it, and spent more than three taels of silver to buy two thin silver hairpins, one with a simple pattern, which was given to the mother, and the other was a lot more exquisite, and was given to the daughter-in-law to wear.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll put it on for you, it's so beautiful." The third child plugged in the silver hairpin to his daughter-in-law, looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Shu looked at his mother's face flush intently, and instantly understood the words and phrases taught by his mother, what is the swallow in the hall from the self-descent, and the gulls in the water are close to each other.
The husband and wife took Xiaoshu to start the buying, buying, buying mode, of course, mainly Fubao and Xiaoshu's food and cotton cloth.
When the two of them finished buying things and came to the yamen, the village chief was already waiting there, spent one or two or five dollars of silver, got the title deed, and several people finally went home.
"Brother village chief, this piece of cloth will make you a gown." The third child took out an indigo cloth and handed it to the village chief, people always have to be funny when they run around for themselves.
"Okay, thank you."
The village chief accepted it generously, and secretly said in his heart that the elder family was abolished, and the second child was too shrewd, so the third son would come to work, and he gave birth to a son, and it seems that the position of the chief will be given to the third child in the future.
Thinking of this, the village chief has a good intention, and now that they have split up, if they have a good relationship with the third child, everyone will have a good discussion in the future, and life will definitely be better.
In the blink of an eye, the spring rain sends spring back, the snow flies to welcome spring, the snow melts all over the mountains, the flowers gradually become pretty, and the villagers of Xiangzhang Village return to the earth and start the new year's cultivation and sowing.
The old man's house was finally built, and the eldest daughter-in-law carried the basket on her back, took the third husband and wife and the small tree, and came to the Xiang family as a guest.
The horseshoe-shaped piece of land, where houses had been built, faced in the direction of the village, was surrounded by a high wall, and two gates were opened in the middle of the wall.
Looking at the wall that was almost two people high, the eldest daughter-in-law understood why the Xiang family wanted so many bricks and tiles at this time.
Generally, the villagers build a house, are a combination of soil and wood, basically it does not cost a few silver, if you want to build a brick house, 20 taels of silver bricks and tiles are enough to build a dozen houses.
And the old man Xiang's family spent at least fifty or sixty taels of silver to buy bricks and tiles, and it turned out that the bricks and tiles were used on the high wall, I don't know why the Xiang family thought that the wall was so high.
The third child guessed that time the wolves came down the mountain to bite people, and the old man was probably scared, so he had to raise a high wall, you must know that the bounce power of the wolf is very good, and the general wall really can't stop it.
It's just that he doesn't understand one thing, shouldn't the high wall start from the back mountain, why start from the gate, oh, probably the old man has no silver, so he is ready to start slowly in the future.
The old man Xiang welcomed a few people in, and at this time, the eldest daughter-in-law and the others found that the old man's house was different from them.
Other people's houses enter the courtyard and enter the hall through the courtyard, but the old man's house is the hall when he enters the door, and the courtyard is through the hall.
The courtyard is surrounded by houses, and the houses on all sides enclose the yard in the middle, so the advantage is that there are more houses, but thinking of the population of the Xiang family, it is normal to have more houses.
The third child looked at such a style of house, and liked it tightly, so that even if a wild beast came down the mountain, it would still be difficult to eat people, and they would at least be able to walk into the house.
The eldest daughter-in-law was not interested in other people's houses, she came today to apologize, and took out four-color pastries from the back basket, as well as a knife of pork and dozens of eggs.
There are also two sets of spring and autumn gowns and small skirts, two sets of short clothes, and two pairs of embroidered shoes worn by the little girl made by the third daughter-in-law, all of which are small and look beautiful and delicate.
Finally, he took out a jewelry box from under the back basket, opened the box, and there was a small silver bracelet inside, took out the bracelet, and placed it on the kang table.
"Brother Hanlin, and the rich daughter-in-law, I am here to apologize today, my family ......"
"Auntie, please drink tea, the third child, and the third daughter-in-law also drink tea." The sister-in-law interrupted the words of the eldest daughter-in-law and asked the eldest daughter-in-law to apologize, they did not have such a big face.
"Uncle, aunt, rich brother, rich sister-in-law, we are here today to thank you for saving Xiaoshu's life, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, we can only send some inconspicuous little things, please smile." The third child understood what Ping'an's daughter-in-law meant, and quickly stood up and said with a smile.
The corners of Fu Bao's mouth rose happily, the last time he had already received the merits of the eldest daughter-in-law and the little tree's father, and today there was another wave, oops, so comfortable and happy.
Fu Bao closed his eyes and meditated on absorbing the merit points that kept pouring in, slowly transforming the merit points into aura, nourishing the growing spirit.
Xiaoshu saw Fu Bao close his eyes, thinking that Fu Bao was going to sleep, so he pulled his father and milk, and whispered: "Milk, father, you should be quiet, Fu Bao is sleeping." ”
Seeing that her grandson valued Fubao so much, the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but think, if Fubao married her grandson, it would be excellent.
