"...... this?" The second aunt was told by Lin Piao's words, and her thinking broadened, which is not impossible, anyway, if she can get Erzhu to the county government, Erzhu's future road will be half easier.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry about Shu Yu, I can pay you first, if you want to make money, you can also go to the county government to find a livelihood to do, anyway, the county government's business is definitely better than the village, after all, the people in the county government can afford to spend a lot of money, but I just plan to do this first, put the words here first, and when the time comes, when I get to the county government and settle down, I will see how the matter of Erzhu is handled."

When the second aunt heard this, her heart was very warm, and she knew that Lin Piao was thinking about him in her heart, but at this time, Lin Piao was still planning for her and Erzhu, so that if she didn't iron in her heart, the original sorrow would be swept away.

"Okay, I've worked hard for you, I've heard Uncle Qiu say that someone in the county government doesn't like you, you always say that you go to explore the road first and gain a firm foothold, I don't know how hard it will be, but we are just waiting for you to sit and enjoy the happiness in the back."

"What's the matter, second aunt, you are so good to us, after getting along during this time, we are a family, where is the family still sharing these." Lin Piao said, leaning on the second aunt's shoulder, and he saw the candle flame casting their shadows on the window, a thin piece, and the two shadows leaning together.

The second aunt is indeed the best person for him, from the moment he came over, she made him food for the first time, stewed chicken soup, rolled noodles, and stir-fried vegetables, and worried about whether he was hungry or not, whether he would be bullied, maybe it was a very common thing in the eyes of outsiders, thinking that she was just cooking a few meals, but Lin Piao always thought it was delicious.

Some people ask if you are hungry, and you always bring warm food to your hands, but it is not easy to always want to have such a person.

The second aunt was so moved by his sudden sensational and warm atmosphere that she hugged him by the shoulders, rubbed him into her arms, lowered her head, and kissed him on the head.

"Good piao'er, my good brother." The second aunt's eyes were sour and wanted to cry, but she endured it and didn't cry, she and Erzhu have lived for so many years, no one has said intimate words, and life is boring, after Lin Piao came, the days were warm and energetic, she really felt that Lin Piao was like God sent a brother to make her a child.

Lin Piao was stunned by the second aunt and sighed in her heart.

Forget it, so be it.

"Anyway, we decided the matter first, in two days Shen Hong and I will set off for the county government, you stay here to take good care of the family, and when we settle down, we will think of letting Erzhu go to Qingfeng Academy to go to school, auntie, you can do it if you want to stay in the village or go to the county government to do work, and there is another sentence you remember to help me tell Uncle Qiu, he will definitely not be able to leave Da Zhuang, and he is reluctant to suffer, I looked like I didn't want him to be good in front of him, so I said, if there is a problem, you can come to me."

Lin Piao thought about it and felt that he had thought through everything he should have thought about, and all the new roads were under everyone's feet, and he began to make choices at this fork in the road.

Chapter 62

Lin Piao first counted all the things in the house, and planned to take the people and money to the county government first, as long as he had money in his hand, he didn't believe that he had no place to live, and then slowly moved his things after he settled.

The only problem is the money that Uncle Qiu put in him, he put it in a small bag, and now he has saved a heavy bag, if it is returned to Uncle Qiu, Uncle Qiu is afraid that his man will come back and dare not collect the money in his own house, and now hand it back to him so that Uncle Qiu can live in peace?

Lin Piao took Uncle Qiu in the morning and discussed this matter with him.

"I think if you are at ease, just keep the money bag here, in this bottom box, after Shen Hong and I left, they must think that we took all the money away, and they won't come to steal it, when you want to come to get it, just excuse yourself to come to Chai He to get something or something, if you don't feel at ease, you think you should not talk to the second aunt and let the second aunt help you keep it, the second aunt Uncle Qiu, you must be at ease."

Uncle Qiu thought and nodded: "Second sister-in-law, I must be relieved, but I don't know if she is willing to suffer from this." ”

The two of them were invited to tell the second aunt about this matter together, and the second aunt naturally patted her chest and took over the matter because Aunt Wang and Uncle Qiu had discussed this issue: "No matter how big it is, it will be put together with my money bag, as long as my money is still there, your money will not be able to run!" ”

After solving this matter, Lin Piao returned to the courtyard and saw Shen Hong sitting under the eaves reading a book.

"Shen Hong, do you want to live in the Deer Cave Academy?" Lin Piao was thinking in his heart whether he wanted to live far or near Ludong Academy, after all, this could determine whether Shen Hong wanted to live in the school or not.

"Sister-in-law, the Ludong Academy is on the mountain, and the students who go to study live on the mountain, so they can't go down the mountain if they have nothing to do."

"Huh?" It turned out to be a closed management, no wonder it was a famous school, Lin Piao didn't expect Shen Hong to face such harsh conditions after that.

"Then the Xu family is going to see it? What do you do on weekdays? ”

"Yes."

Lin Piao suddenly felt much more relieved: "That's good, the days on the mountain are hard, don't make you hungry and thin, and the meat that you finally eat." ”

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao as if he was seriously thinking about the future, the sun was shining in the courtyard, and the well water was shining before it had dried up on the ground, and Lin Piao was standing there walking around.

"Sister-in-law Lao is worried."

"What kind of small business did you say we would do when we went to the county government?"

"Sister-in-law likes easy work."

"Then I'll have to think about what is easy to do."

They came to the door again with the father and mother who were going to be the second dog, and asked them about the government test: "Piao'er, I and Ergou's father have thought about it, Ergou is going to the state capital for the exam, and his father and I will follow him to see him through, and there are also people along the way who will give him something to prepare meals, but I don't know if there is anything to say about this exam, you give us pointers." ”

Lin Piao told the second dog father and mother about the experience of the examination in the county government, and they pricked up their ears and didn't know how seriously they listened, for fear of missing a word.

"But don't worry, if you go to the state capital from our county to take the exam, the county lord will definitely send someone to arrange and organize it, if someone sends you over, you have a good relationship with that person, and if you don't understand anything, just ask him."

The second dog's father and mother were much more relieved when they heard this, and when Lin Piao said this, it was not a blind search without knowing anything, and the second dog lady looked at Lin Piao with some embarrassment.

"Piao'er, there's something I don't know, can you help me plan it? We are following Ergou to the state capital, how much money do we have to prepare for this trip? ”

Lin Piao was embarrassed, he didn't calculate how much he wanted before going to the county government, he just tried to bring as much as he could, not to mention that he hadn't been to the state capital, and he didn't know what the price of the state capital was.

"The biggest expense is food and housing, and I don't know how much it will cost to live in the state capital for a day...... In short, be more prepared, the poor have rich roads, and you should still spend flowers when you go out. ”

The second dog lady listened and nodded, how much money they could have, before going out, she and the second dog and his father had discussed it, and no matter what this year's rations, they planned to drag all the rice out and sell it, since they were going to the county government, they would drag some to the county government to sell, the grain in the county government was more expensive than in the countryside, and they could earn a few more money.

No matter how much it costs, how honorable it is for Ergou to go to the state capital for the examination, the elders and relatives of the family have come to see Ergou several times in the past few days, and one of them has pooled some money to give them, and Ergou is the pride and hope of their whole family, and they have to send him to the state capital for anything.

After they had finished thinking about it, the news that they were going to the county government on the second day spread out, and there were gongs and drums to deliver them early in the morning, and this time they didn't need to borrow the long ox cart, they pulled the donkey cart and waited at the door of Lin Piao's house early in the morning.

In the morning, when Lin Piao was woken up, he was still full of question marks, thinking that this family was having a banquet again, but it turned out that it was still his own family's business.

It is said that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and Shen Hong, a talented man, is willing to come to Shen Hong from all directions to spend money to help Shen Hong do things, and it has sprung up faster than mushrooms overnight.

Packing up the money and some important things in a small wooden box, and then wrapping some soft ones in a small bag and carrying them on his back, Shen Hong basically had nothing to pack except for the newspaper that won Xiucai, although the books were precious, but they were not easy to take to the county government before they settled, and Shen Hong only brought half of the Analects at hand for pastime.

Ergou hitchhiked their ride, while Ergou's father and Ergou's mother sat on another ox cart filled with rice and grain from last autumn and planned to go to the county government to make a move.

The second aunt and the students gathered around and said goodbye to them.

"Sir, take care of yourself in the county government."

"Sir, we will read the manuscript paper you left behind, and we will go to the county government to see you."

The parents of the students also expressed that they would take good care of the fields and let them go to the county government with peace of mind.

The second aunt also grabbed Lin Piao's hand tightly on the side: "You can go with confidence, I will definitely be optimistic, I will not let you and Shen Hong lose half of something, you go to the county government to be fine, if you have something to ask someone to send a letter back, if you can't leave and ask for something, I will ask Erzhu to send it to you." ”

"Well, auntie, you take care of your body more, now that the weather is cold and blowing, in the spring you will bake two more fires, and there is so much firewood piled up in the two yards, and if you don't burn it, no one will burn it."

All the things that should be said were said, the donkey cart and the ox cart also embarked on the road to departure, along the way the ox cart of the second dog father and mother followed far behind, even if it was so far away, from time to time you could hear the hearty laughter of the two of them chatting, probably talking about the second dog, in short, very excited.

Ergou sat on the side of the car with a dog's tail grass in his mouth and looked at the sky, watching the old cow behind him pull so much grain, and suddenly sighed: "It's really difficult to make some money." ”

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Piao: "Little sister-in-law, you say, is it really so difficult to make money?" ”

Lin Piao really didn't know how to answer this question, after all, he had been prostituted all the way.

The second dog bit the dog's tail grass in his mouth: "Little sister-in-law, don't you have a recipe for pickling pepper rabbits, do you have any other recipes?" ”

"What do you want?"

"It's as delicious as a pickled pepper rabbit."

"Barbecue?"

Ergou was silent for a while: "Grave barbecue? ”

"If you don't have a barbecue, you can do it anywhere."

"That little sister-in-law, you pass me a plan, I pondered for a while, I can set up a shed in front of you and my husband to sell barbecue, and you rent me, you can eat at any time when you want to eat, how about we make money, I am seven, you and Mr. three."

Lin Piao thought to himself that this kid's brain was making money fast enough, and now he was thinking about opening a store.

"After you have tried the house, you will have to go to the academy to study later, how can you have the energy to make a barbecue? Don't read anymore? ”

Ergou thought to himself: "I can hire someone to roast it, so that we will become owners." ”

"What if someone hires someone to steal the recipe and then open a barbecue restaurant diagonally across from you?"

"Then I'll let him sign the pledge first, and he can't pass it on, if he steals the prescription, he will pay me the corresponding money, so that I can open my mouth widely, and it is also a way to make money."

After listening to this, Lin Piao thought to himself, although he didn't think much about it when he looked at Ergou, he was just thinking of something nonsense, but if he could think of this, this kid's brain was already very amazing.

Ergou sat cross-legged for a while, obviously thinking about it, turned his head to look at Lin Piao and Shen Hong, and looked like he was begging for praise: "Sir, sister-in-law, am I too good at making money." ”

Lin Piao nodded again and again: "You have a little bit of this aspect of your mind, and then you can think about it." ”

Shen Hong nodded rarely, but still said, "Studying is the most important." ”

Lin Piao hurriedly pulled the conversation back: "Your husband is right, your studies are the most important, you are going to take the entrance examination, what barbecue are you still worried about, this is not what you should worry about at the moment." ”

Ergou nodded honestly and stopped talking immediately, but Lin Piao saw that his mind was already alive, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, if he really started to worry about making money, I was afraid that he would delay his studies.

Along the way, everyone said a few words from time to time, and soon arrived at the county government, and then to the county capital, Lin Piao's state of mind was very different from before, and he used to feel that he had finally entered the city, but now he thought that he would live here in the future, and his mood was still a little excited.

Shen Hong and Ergou first went to the county Chengfu to visit the county Cheng, and the second dog's father and mother went to the pawn shop with an ox cart, planning to sell the food briskly, otherwise there would be no place to put it, Lin Piao went to visit Yuniang and Mrs. as usual, but the main purpose was on the girl.

After coming out of the courtyard of the jade lady, Lin Piao pulled the girl to the side and spoke: "Girl, do you know that there are any houses in the county government that are changing hands for sale, or those houses are vacant and no one lives in them?" ”

The girl scratched her sideburns: "I know one or two places, but they are all very large houses, and I don't know the way to say anything else, so why don't I go and ask Brother Wang for you, let Brother Wang help you see, he is a fast catcher, and often walks on the street, and now he must know everything about the purchase and sale of floating houses in the county government." ”

"Okay, you are familiar with him, and if you help me talk about it, this matter will be half done." What Lin Piao was looking for was to catch fast, but it was not good to ask for it by himself, so he set up a ladder.

The girl quickly helped him find Wang Zhukuai and explained his intentions, and Wang Zhukuai was naturally happy to help him, after all, Shen Honggang had just passed the Xiucai examination, and he was a 14-year-old boy who had only passed the county examination once, and he could be said to be in the limelight no matter where he was.

When Yu Niang heard that Lin Piao was going to live in the county government, she was so happy that she gave the girl half a day off and asked her to accompany Lin Piao to find a house to live in instead of herself.

The two of them followed Wang Zhu quickly and roughly looked at the entire area of the county capital.

Wang Zhukuai pointed to the various areas: "Look at this side, the whole street used to be a small street here, all of them were small vendors, selling toys and sharpening scissors, and there were all kinds of noises before dawn. ”

"Over there, look at the prosperity, right? The flower street, next to each other are all flower buildings, even if the sound can be heard across the street, the man drank at night, and it was a wine fight and a drinking order, and it was noisy and noisy all night, and people looked down on it when they lived in. ”

"It's okay to look over there, it's too deserted."

"It's quite good over there, and it's all rich businessmen."

"Actually, I think the best thing is the alley in front of me, where there are several empty houses, and there are many people doing small businesses in the neighborhood, but most of them sell oil cakes and steamed buns, and sell small chaos, some of them make their own burdens and sell them on the street, and some of them set up a shed in front of their homes, but they are usually clean without shouting or making noise."

Lin Piao nodded, his eyes looked all the way along the alley, the green tiles and white walls, from the distance outside the wall, it can be judged that although the size of each house is not equal, the overall size is not bad, and it is a very livable house: "Which houses are empty?" Is the owner of the house still in the county hall now? Or have you already gone somewhere else? ”

"Some people are still in the county government, if you like me to help you contact and ask, some of the deed is mortgaged to the pawnshop or the silver village, but the pawnshop and the silver village always want to sell, you take a look first, if you like me, then look at it to help you ask the people's opinions."

"You have to go in and see the house, you can't just look at it outside, right?"

"That's right, I'll go and ask you first, you and the girl will rest today, I'll ask them to give me the keys, so that tomorrow we can look directly, and we can see everything that should be seen in the surrounding circle."

Lin Piao smiled: "Thank you Brother Wang first." ”

"What's the matter."

The neighbors in the neighborhood saw the three of them walking in and out of the place, and every eye unconsciously looked at them, and only when they were gone did they come under the shed of the liquor shop.

"Alas, you say, this person won't come to see the house, look at it, it's beautiful, if he comes, the first beauty in our Morning Glory Lane will not be Sanniang!"

Sanniang, who was holding a wine jug on the side, glanced at him: "Little brother, the hair has not grown completely, can you compare with Sanniang?" ”

The stall owner selling small chaos on the side said: "But I look quite familiar, like I've seen it somewhere." ”
