As for the issue of getting married, Liu Caixia had thought about it before. After spending some time together, she found that Lin Weizhong and Lin Keyu, father and son, were both good people.

She even thought about bringing Lin Keyu and Liu Xiaolu together. They were of similar age, only a few months apart, with Lin Keyu being a few months older than Liu Xiaolu.

However, they were both still young and neither of them had those ideas, so she was indeed embarrassed to bring it up.

However, Lin Keyu really seems to be Liu Xiaolu's best choice, as he is the only boy of the right age in their team.

Liu Hao and his friends were too old, and the other two were just little brats. It really broke the old mother's heart.

"Xiao Lu, there is one more thing I want to remind you. From now on, you will be eleven years old. Don't forget it. If someone asks you, just say you are eleven. Your grandfather has already made up your date of birth for you. Don't forget it."

"I know. You've told me so many times. It's the eighth day of the sixth month in the fifty-second year of Tianyuan, and it's the year of the rabbit. I can recite it by heart."

"That's good to know. I was just worried that you wouldn't learn your lesson. Although life is better now, you still can't be careless."

"Mom, don't worry." Liu Xiaolu hugged Liu Caixia's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Are you hungry? If you are, just get yourself something to eat."

"I'm not hungry. I secretly ate a little before. You guys were talking in the front and I had nothing to do, so I ate in the back. Mom, do you want to eat something?"

"I don't want to eat. Go ask your grandpa if they want to eat."

After that, he took out a steamed bun from his bag and handed it to Tian Zhaodi: "Auntie Tian, ​​have a steamed bun to fill your stomach. Is there any water in your water bag? If not, I'll give you some more."

"Ma'am, I still have some water, which is enough for now."

After these few days, Tian Zhaodi was no longer so reserved and became much more natural when getting along with others. After she took the steamed bun, she began to eat it in silence.

Liu Caixia is now used to her name. She doesn't know how people here call her. It seems that the names are different in each place. Some call her Master, Madam, Miss, or Young Master.

Their family all adapts to the local customs and can call each other whatever they want. After they settle down, each family will start to live their own life.

We'll think about these things when the time comes.

Occasionally, there were some people coming out of the county town on the road, all heading back to the village. Most of them were villagers from nearby, and they did not encounter any horse-drawn carriage teams.

I only encountered an ox cart with some things and bamboo baskets loaded on the back. It seemed that the people were going to the city to sell things or to do business.

By the time they arrived at the county town, the winter sky had gradually darkened.

After entering the city, Liu's father took the lead and found an inn with a few people to stay.

We asked for two rooms, one for men and one for women.

Since it's just a one-night stay, it won't cost you too much money.

One should not show off one's wealth. They have already spent enough money today, and tomorrow they have to go to the county town to get the title deed for the house, and they have to pay some more money.

Also, I'm going to go to the city tomorrow and look for a house. If I have extra money, I can buy a shop too. That would be even better.

They had previously used their family's silver jewelry, bird's nests, ginseng and ganoderma to exchange for money, which they used along the way. They exchanged it sporadically in the counties they passed through, but they also spent a lot of money along the way.

Father Liu did not come to calculate how much money they had left. He would call Liu Caixia, Liu Xiaolu and the other two to calculate it together in the evening.

In the evening, they ordered some food in the inn. It was a simple meal. They were really tired of eating noodles and whole-grain steamed buns.

Although I had meat for lunch, I didn’t order rice, so I always wanted to eat rice first.

Rice is indeed a rare commodity at this time. It’s not so bad here, but there is even less rice in the northwest. The price of rice here is much cheaper.

But it is still much more expensive than in times of peace and prosperity. Let's see if the price of grain can come down after the spring planting and autumn harvest next year.

After dinner, Father Liu called Liu Caixia and Liu Xiaolu into the room: "Auntie Tian, ​​you stay at the door for us, let's talk."

"Okay, Master."

"Dad, do you want to see how much money and things we have left?"

Liu Caixia took the initiative to speak after Liu's father closed the door and sat down. She understood her father. After all, they were father and daughter. At this time, her father must want to know more and make plans for the future.

"Yes, didn't you say before that you were going to buy a house and a shop in the county town? I just wanted to know how much money I had. If the money was not enough, I could sell some things to exchange for some silver.

After all, we mentioned in the county government that we still have some heirlooms that we can sell. The money must have come from a legitimate source."

"Well, it's more cost-effective to buy houses and shops now. Although this place hasn't suffered too much damage from the disaster, it's definitely affected. We might be able to buy some good houses and shops at a bargain price at this time."

"I thought so too. If we had the money to buy in the capital, it would be more cost-effective. Unfortunately, the capital is not close to here, and we don't have much money.

I can only buy a house in the county first, and then plan for future expansion after I have sorted out my family affairs and made some money.”

Liu Caixia knew her father very well. He had a lot of ideas about making money and was not the kind of person who was limited to a small place. All the family property was earned by his father himself.

"Xiao Lu, take out the silver in your home and the box containing the treasures."

"it is good."

Liu Xiaolu took out a plastic storage box, and then took out her grandmother's box and her own box.

Liu Caixia took it and counted it. There were still more than eighty taels of silver left in total, not counting the copper coins. She was too lazy to include the pocket money in the calculation.

The ordinary gold and silver jewelry have been sold out, and the collection of bird's nests, donkey-hide gelatin, ganoderma lucidum and ginseng have also been sold. Now there are only two top-quality jade bracelets, two sets of ruby ​​and sapphire necklaces and earrings, two sets of diamond necklaces, and two diamond rings left.

The main thing is that I don’t know how people of this era view diamonds. Moreover, diamond necklaces and rings are all set in platinum, and people at that time don’t know whether they recognize platinum or not.

So, even though these things are the most valuable, they are not sold.

I really don't know how to start.

Along the way, when passing through the mountains and jungles, they would also pick some medicinal herbs and make furs from the prey they hunted. In addition to using some of them themselves, they also sold the rest.

They had basically nothing left in this dynasty, and looking at the little silver left, it was indeed too little.

"I don't have enough money. If I want to buy a yard in the county with this money, it will probably be a small yard, and the location is not very good."

Father Liu sighed as he looked at the silver.
