Zhang's all his thoughts were on how to play the handlew, and he didn't think about how a three-year-old child could know so much and draw so well.

Although she suspected that what she made up might not be as good as what she painted, she hurriedly went to the sewing basket to find a few threads and weave them according to Lilac's description.

After weaving most of the pieces in one hour, and then stringing seven beads, Zhang was amazed, and felt that the weaving must be better than the painting.

At the end of noon, Ding Zhuang, who was carrying a big basket, took Ding Lichun and Ding Liren home.

Today Lilac saw Ding Zhuang for the first time, only a night and a half away, but I felt that it had been several years.

Grandpa lost weight, half of his hair was gray, his upper lip was blistered, and his back seemed to be hunched.

Lilac's tears welled up, and she stepped forward to hug his leg and said, "Master, we will get through." ”

Ding Zhuang didn't pick her up and coax her as before, but said, "Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, Ye won't let you suffer." ”

walked into the upper room with a heavy face.

Ding Lichun whispered, "We went around Beiquan Village, Nanquan Village, and town, and only borrowed eight strings of money and a few silver horns. Another person promised to send two pieces of money tomorrow. ”

Ding Lilai said again, "When we went to the town, the master himself entered the pharmacy and didn't let us in. ”

Lilac's heart sank, grandpa wouldn't think about it, right?

Then she dismissed the idea. Ding Zhuang has a tough heart, and has repeatedly promised that he will not let himself suffer, and it is impossible not to think of suicide.

The gnocchi soup eaten at noon, several people had no appetite.

After eating, Ding Zhuang locked himself in the house again, and Zhang's hand was tied up, and he and the three brothers and sisters waited silently in the hall.

They hoped that Ding Zhao would come back soon, and hoped that the Tang family could borrow some money and that dagger could be sold for a good price.

Before long, Zhang finally braided a bracelet. Worn on the wrist, it is chic and beautiful, like a colored bracelet studded with pearls.

Lilac gave it a nice name, the Seven Star Bracelet.

Zhang smiled, "Colored bracelets? It's a nice name and it's apt. The thread is not valuable, but the weaving method of the colored bracelet is valuable, and with these beads, it will definitely sell for a good price. If you have enough time, the lady who sells it to a rich family may be able to sell it even higher. I stay up late to weave two more, even if there are no beads to embellish, I can sell them for more money. ”

Lilac drew another bracelet style, "Mother, the same style, the second one can't afford to sell at a high price." This is also what I came up with, called Butterfly Flying Color Bracelet, which should be woven with eight strands of wire to look good. ”

He also talked about how to match colors.

The six-star bracelet and the butterfly bracelet are both derived from the flat knot. Now that Zhang has something on his mind, he can't calm down to make up more complicated things.

Zhang Shixi agreed.

A short time later, there was a knock at the courtyard door.

Ding Lichun thought that his father was back, so he excitedly ran to open the door and broke into several fierce men.

Ding Lichun was so frightened that he ran into the house, "Master, master, someone is here." ”

Ding Zhuang came out, carried Ding Liren and Lilac to the bedroom one by one, and then closed the door.

A wicked man arched his hand and said, "Boss Ding." ”

Ding Zhuang returned the salute, "Don't dare to be." A few uncles are ......"

The man sneered, "Boss Ding, don't pretend to be confused, where are we, you have a clear heart." The person who went to the provincial capital to find Xue Dahu came back and said that Xue Dahu said that he had nothing to do with your Ding family, and they would not pay back a penny. We searched for Ding Zhi for several days, but we didn't see any ghosts.

"The proprietor said, the son and the father will pay the debt, and the principal and monthly interest of 1,200 taels of silver shall not be missing. In another day, the deadline for repayment will be reached, and we will come to pick up the money the day after tomorrow. As for running away or something, don't even think about it. ”

With that, the men went on a rampage.

Ding Zhuang entered the house, took Ding Xiang and Ding Liren to the hall, and stuffed himself in the house.

Zhang's hands trembled so much that he couldn't beat the rope, covering his mouth and crying.

Ding Lichun comforted, "Mother, don't panic, with me, my grandfather and father in front of me, it will be fine." ”

Ding Liren straightened his small chest, "And me, I am also in front of my mother and sister." ”

Lilac didn't speak, her eyes looked at Zhang firmly.

The children are so strong, why is she crying?

Zhang wiped away his tears and continued to weave the bracelet. The hands were still shaking badly, and they were knitting very slowly.

Feeling that his father was coming back soon, Ding Lichun led his younger brothers and sisters to stand at the door and looked at the entrance of the village, and Heizi squatted aside.

The villagers all knew that Ding Zhi had borrowed a loan shark from Theduo, and he ran away, and the debt fell into this family. They looked at their little siblings sympathetically and did not greet them as they used to.

In the distance, a lame woman walked by, a smile on her lips.

Be proud, the world is coming.

Today's sun is moving very slowly, and the brothers and sisters are eager to see through it, and finally see Ding Zhao driving an ox cart at the entrance of the village in a glow.

They seemed to see hope again, and Lilac turned and ran to the upper room.

"Grandpa, mother, daddy is back."

Ding Zhuang, who was locked in the bedroom, walked out of the house quickly.

Ding Zhao handed over the ox cart to Ding Lichun and hurriedly walked into the house.

"How?" Ding Zhuang asked.

Ding Zhao said, "Tang's family didn't borrow a penny, and they pointed at me and scolded, saying a lot of ugly things, let's hand over his daughter." I walked out of the alley, and the old lady of my in-laws caught up with me, gave me fifty taels of silver tickets, and told us not to worry about profit. ”

He didn't dare to say that the Tang family hated Ding Zhi so much that he gritted his teeth, and scolded Ding Lilai together, saying that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked. Fortunately, the old lady of the in-laws told the truth, and they were afraid that the people and dogs in Jiaozipu would jump off the wall in a hurry, so they had quietly sent the child to a relative's house to hide it.

Ding Zhuang nodded, he was also worried about the third grandson.

Again, he asked, "Did you go to the Dragon Dart Game?" ”

Ding Zhao had a smile on his face, "I went, and I didn't go back to the dart game until the next morning, when Qian Er was in charge, he looked at the dagger and liked it very much." said that such a good thing was worth four hundred taels of silver. ”

He pulled out a couple of silver tickets.

So much.

This amount made Ding Zhuang and the people in the house happy.

Ding Zhuang said, "Qian Er is the righteous Bo Yuntian, he didn't deceive us ordinary people, and gave a fair price." The in-laws' wife is good, I Ding Zhuang wrote it down. ”

Four hundred and fifty taels, plus fixed assets such as shops and houses, and money borrowed from relatives and friends, there is still a difference of more than 100 taels to be paid off.

Ding Zhao said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the county seat to sell or pawn the jewelry, and I can make up enough for 30 to 50 taels." Alas, the price of jewelry fluctuates greatly, and people can't see that you are in a hurry to reduce the price. There was only a hundred and ten taels of silver, and the loan was renewed. ”

Although the family is poor and owes so much silver, this is much better than expected.

As for how to earn money to pay off debts in the future, let's talk about it after this hurdle.

Everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

Ding Zhuang reluctantly looked around the house, "Lichun Niang will pick up the things at home, let's move to the third room first." Later, the dilapidated houses at the head of the village were repaired and lived there temporarily. ”

Ask for a monthly pass...
