Chapter 16 Paying Back the Money (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Tickets)
The next day, Lin Baobao called everyone in the Lin family before dawn.
Today you have to threshing rice, that is, threshing rice.
Lin Dalang, who thought that he could rest for a day or two after harvesting rice: ......
Lin Baobao just didn't see the accusatory eyes of his brothers.
Anyway, whether they want to or not, with Feng and Daddy Lin, the focus is on Feng's support, so they don't want to be lazy.
She put the sickle she had cleaned yesterday into the back basket and called Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang to go to Uncle Lin's house with her.
Rice buckets are needed to beat rice, and the so-called rice buckets are trapezoidal barrels that are narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and about 1.5 meters long and wide.
In the barrel is placed a bed of rice barrels - wooden strips are made into a trapezoidal shelf. If you slam the ears of rice on the bed of the bucket, the rice on the ears will fall and fall into the bucket.
If there is a rice bucket at home, they will directly move the rice bucket to the field, and leave two people to be responsible for threshing the rice when harvesting the rice, so as to save the rice ears and transport them home.
The Lin family didn't have it, so they had to borrow it.
When the three of them arrived, Uncle Lin's family had just gotten up and were pouring boxes of rice into the mats spread out in the yard.
When they got to the ground, Liao only had to spread out the millet to dry.
"Why did you come here so early?" After Uncle Lin asked, he saw the sickle in Lin Dalang's back basket, and his expression froze.
Is this a day of mowing and not mowing?
The faces of Lin Shougen and the others were also ugly, and they didn't look at Lin Baobao and the others, and continued to be busy with the work in their hands.
Lin Baobao saw him staring at the back basket and explained: "Our family can't use the sickle for the time being, so we have to take it back to the uncle." ”
Uncle Lin came forward to borrow it yesterday, and Lin Baobao didn't know which ones he had borrowed, so he could only continue to trouble him.
Really!
Uncle Lin sighed: "Cheng, let it go, I'll send it back in a while." ”
Lin Baobao smiled: "My family's rice harvest is finished, I want to borrow your rice bucket for a day, and wait for tomorrow and my brothers to help you harvest the rice together?" ”
Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang turned their heads to look at her violently, Xiaoliu, aren't you?
"What? Collect, all collected? Uncle Lin thought he had misheard.
Lin Shougen and the others were also shocked, they went to the field yesterday afternoon and saw a large area confiscated from a distance.
"Well, there are a lot of people working in our house. Uncle, that rice bucket ......"
"Take it and use it." Uncle Lin seemed to be afraid that Lin Baobao would not want it if he agreed a second late, so he was too busy to respond, and asked if he wanted his two sons to help send him over.
There is no need to move by yourself, of course Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang are happy to relax, but before they can speak, Lin Baobao refused: "Just let my eldest brother and third brother move." ”
She specially called the biggest of the five brothers, because she didn't want to trouble the two cousins.
Lin Dalang and Lin Saburo: This is really my sister!
"Okay, you don't have to send it back when you run out, the root just made a new one a while ago, and it wasn't sold, so you can keep it at home."
Not to mention that it doesn't cost money to make wood for rice barrels, even if it costs money, as long as the second brother's family is willing to work, he is willing to give it away!
Lin Shougen obviously thought the same way, and without Uncle Lin shouting, he and Lin Shouxing carried out the new rice bucket, afraid that they wouldn't use it, and demonstrated it to Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang over and over again.
How to save more effort, how to beat to remove the rice grains.
Lin Dalang and the two said they didn't want to learn.
Lin Baobao thought that it was convenient to have a rice bucket at home, so he didn't say anything.
"By the way, there's this." She took out a money bag and handed it over: "The family owes too much to the uncle over the years, I will pay these first, and then slowly pay back the rest." ”
When Liao heard the movement, he happened to see his old man take out a silver ingot from his money bag, pour it down, and pour out a few grains of broken silver.
All:!!!
……
"Six taels! Bao'er, you gave your uncle six taels of silver? Feng's loud voice almost lifted the roof of the Lin family.
Lin Sanlang, who was so frightened by Feng's listening, that he almost threw the rice bucket and smashed his feet.
Before, their family didn't care about the affairs in the field, and naturally there were no second-season rice seeds, so Uncle Lin asked Sanzhu to help send them over.
Lin Baobao was checking, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "Isn't Sanzhu going to marry a wife, I'll pay back the money I borrowed a few days ago." ”
She originally planned to pay back five taels first, so that the uncle's family could still have money to hold a banquet after giving the dowry.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shi directly gave her five taels of silver, so she simply made up for the remaining one tael.
The seeds should have also been selected, and the grains are full, but there is some resurgence.
"What did you borrow, it was given by your uncle." It's also what she wants to do with her ability!
Feng's heart was dripping blood, in the end, it was his precious daughter, so he was reluctant to scold: "Bao'er, forget it this time, you can't send money over there in the future." ”
Lin Baobao probably figured out Feng's temperament, and didn't tell her any big truth: "Mother, what is six taels of silver?" Don't forget that we're going to live in a big house, and we don't have to change a new outfit a day......"
"Don't you live in a big house yet?" Feng Shi was not stunned by Lin Baobao's cake this time.
"There will be later. Do you think, if we don't pay back the money of the uncle's family, when we have money, will others see us and say, 'The family is picking up the bloodsucking worms of relatives, and they don't know how the money came from, and they dare to come out and show it, and they are so thick-skinned.' Do you want to be envied, or do you want to live with this name for the rest of your life?' ”
Lin Baobao didn't stop what he was doing when he spoke, he carried the mat under the eaves to the open space and spread it out, and poured the rice seeds on it.
Feng followed her step by step, helping her from time to time: "Can our family really be rich?" ”
Lin Baobao nodded affirmatively: "Of course, as long as the brothers work hard." ”
Lin Dalang several: ......
Gotta get to work.
Smack~ For the old lady's new clothes.
Smack~ For Daddy's big house.
Lin Shilang: Smack~ For his roast chicken every day.
All of a sudden, the sound of ears of rice slapping on the bucket resounded throughout the yard.
Seeing that Lin Baobao was busy, the old lady didn't ask, and helped spread out the rice seeds together.
I don't know what's going on with my daughter, but I love to work when I wake up.
Busy and busy, she suddenly thought of something again: "Where did you get your money?" ”
Lin Baobao subconsciously went to find Gu Shi's figure.
Hey, what about people?
Zhao and Chen took the girl to the river to wash clothes, and Ermao and a few young children were helping Lin Dalang and them deliver rice.
Seeing her looking left and right, Erniu asked curiously. "Sister-in-law, what are you looking for?"
"Where did Gu Shi go?" It seems that I haven't seen him since I came back from my uncle's house.
"You said that the little uncle, he and the eldest brother went to the field, saying that they wanted to come out of the whole field to raise seedlings." The second girl smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too clingy, you don't see it for a while, you think about it." ”
Lin Baobao was embarrassed: "How old are you, do you know what it means to be sticky?" ”
"Yes." The second girl said to Zhou's side: "Just like the second aunt and the second uncle." ”
Lin Baobao looked over, Lin Erlang was threshing rice, and Zhou was standing next to him wiping sweat and pinching his back.
Lin Baobao: Is Zhou clingy? It's very clingy!
Feng Shi also saw it, and his face darkened: "Zhou, you are going to die, young people know how to work......"
Her crackling and cursing voice rang out again in the courtyard.
Lin Baobao: It's good, at least it attracted the old lady's attention.
