Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

"Wait a minute!" Lu Zhang held the last two bank notes and did not want to let go.

The silver found in her small box is basically broken silver and strings of copper plates. The largest ingot is only five taels, but there is a stack of small denomination silver notes.After all, holding the income of the two families in his hands, the money will not be much less.It's just that this time, he was so injured that he emptied the small box.

When she opened her mouth, everyone looked at her silently.The village chief also felt annoyed, and couldn't help saying: "What did the old sister think of?"

Lu Zhang said: "We won't take this clothes or anything, it's too troublesome. Just stay here and exchange for 50 taels of silver."

Wang Jinzhu burst out laughing, and said: "No wonder the third aunt is a good housekeeper. In the past few years, they have only charged you more than 50 taels of silver for food and lodging. You are lucky. You just want to take 50 taels of clothes."

Lu Datian was also a little hesitant, because he also found that Lu Zhang's money box was empty, which was not a good sign.Although the farming season is not busy now, there are still a lot of places where money can be used.

if……

He couldn't help but look up at Lu Qianshan.

Lu Qianshan smiled and said, "Yes."

Lu Datian's eyes lit up.

Lu Qianshan said again: "Sister-in-law, we asked the third grandma to pack up all the clothes and sell them in the village. If they can't be sold in the village, they will go to the county to sell them. Since the third grandma said that these clothes are worth 50 taels, I think we can sell them in the village. Clothes sold for 50 taels."

Zeng Hongmei couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "That's a good relationship. The third grandma loves us so much."

The redness on Lu Datian's face has not disappeared, and it has turned black again.He snatched the bank note from Lu Zhangshi's hand and stuffed it into Lu Qianshan's hand, saying: "Your third grandma is old, I don't understand, you should keep the money." After speaking, he glared at Lu Zhangshi, " Can't you calm down? Hurry up and clean up!"

It would be a shame to let these two people sell clothes all over the village, and even sell them in the county town!

Lu Zhang's heart was so distressed that he began to cry again.

After clearing away all the money, Lu Qianshan said again: "Uncles and grandpas, please sit here with my third grandfather and have a good chat. My sister-in-law and I will go to prepare meals for uncle and grandpa, and we will fetch a few catties of wine later, and invite uncle Grandpas must show their face."

Wang Ronghua smiled and said, "Is your nephew and grandson enlightened now? All right, we will accompany your third grandpa." In fact, he wanted to continue watching the excitement, after all, he was relieved.

With the village chief speaking, the others were embarrassed to leave.In fact, Lu Wangshui, the head of the Lu family, is already very awkward. Both sides are members of his Lu family. On the one hand, there is a scholar in the family who is unreasonable, and on the other hand, he suddenly resisted after being fooled by honesty for several years.The Lu family slapped the Lu family in the face, making him, the clan elder, feel ashamed.

It's just that he doesn't have anything to say now, so he can only nod along, planning to have a meal before leaving.

Crying, cursing and packing up Lu Zhang, others ignored her movements and began to talk about this year's harvest, work in the town, and weddings and funerals in the village.

Lu Xiuxiu followed Lu Zhang's tidying up with a sad face. Lu Datian felt that it was not suitable for her as an eldest daughter to stay here, so he said: "Go, go to our house and tell your sister-in-law to clean up the house. By the way, let your fourth sister-in-law five Sister-in-law also tidy up, we will go home today."

Lu Xiuxiu dropped the bundle in her hand, and got off the kang with red eyes, not forgetting to give Lu Qianshan a vicious look.

When she went out, Lu Qianshan took Zeng Hongmei and entered the West Wing with a basket of silver coins and bank notes.

"Are they really going to leave?" Zhou was a little excited.

Lu Qianshan put the basket in front of Mrs. Zhou, and said, "Of course we have to go. The gold nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own grass nest. The third grandpa and the third grandma are guests after all living in our house. How can they stay in our house and see them every day?" Is it comfortable for my son to live in my own house? These are the rent and other money calculated by the third grandmother for the past few years, mother, right?"

Zhou touched the silver in the basket, tears streaming down his face.How could she not want to ask for some money back?But I just thought that even if I want to come back, one or twenty taels is enough. As long as I have money in my hand, this day will not be sad, and I can make up for a few children.The most important thing is that my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law don't have to live with their younger brothers and sisters. They will move to the east wing to live by themselves later, and they should have children.

The eldest son Lu Qianfan and Zeng Hongmei have been married for a year, and the reason why they have no children is probably because the family can't live in it.No matter how pungent Zeng Hongmei was, she was still a young daughter-in-law who had just entered the house. Even if the curtain was drawn in the middle of the kang, she would be ashamed to make out with her man in front of her younger siblings. The delay would be a year.

Now that Lu Datian and his family have moved away, Zeng Hongmei is probably the happiest.

Mrs. Zhou loves children. It is impossible for her not to feel sorry for her children who can't afford to eat or wear them. Not only she loves her, but Lu Guangming also loves her.So every time he worked as a helper in the county, Lu Guangming would stealthily buy a few meat buns, and let the children eat them to satisfy their hunger in the evening.But what's the use of a few meat buns?Children who are several years old can eat enough food and eat some meat at least when they are young. Their bones have been raised at that time, and they can't see anything now.But the two little ones in the family were born after Lu Datian and the others entered the house, and they have been losing money in food. They were still emaciated when they were five years old, and their hair was brown and yellow.Let's look at those children in Lu Datian's family. Which one is not tall and strong, with black and shiny hair?

But Lu Guangming was honest, always felt that if he treated Lu Datian's family like this, he would definitely support his family when they became officials, so he asked his wife and children to bear with him.

They could bear it, but Lu Qianshan couldn't.

Lu Qianshan pinched a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to his elder brother Lu Qianhai, saying, "Go and get five catties of wine. Uncles and grandpas are going to have dinner at our house today, and I will buy a few more pieces of tofu."

Zeng Hongmei smiled and said: "No, let Xiaohai go to the county to buy a few boxes of cakes. Uncles and grandpas have helped our family a lot, so we can't leave empty-handed, right? Let Yoyo go to buy bean curd."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, yes, come back with some snacks." She pinched the note for settlement of money and looked at it again and again, but she became sad after a while, "What if your father is not happy? "

Thinking of her honest father-in-law, Zeng Hongmei also felt worried.

Lu Qianshan said with a smile: "Who doesn't expect their son to be able to honor their ancestors? Our family and the third grandfather's family are about to issue five uniforms. If they really become officials, they can control our life and death? Now that we have money, wait two days Just go to the school in the village and ask, and let Xiaohai and Xiaocheng go to study, and if we can't help it, our family can read a scholar."

"That's right, that's right." Thinking of her son being able to read a scholar, Zhou's sad face began to light up, "Okay, you guys go, come back early. Let's go, mother will prepare meals with you." After finishing speaking, I will get off the kang.

Zeng Hongmei hurriedly said: "Mother, you should count all the silver and put it away first."

"Yes, put the money first. Hey... Mom is so happy, I don't have to be scolded all the time in the future." Mrs. Zhou climbed onto the kang again, opened the kang cabinet, took out a box, and put the bank notes Put everything in and lock it, and put the silver ingots, broken silver and copper coins in different places to hide them, and finally locked the cabinet.

Seeing her hiding the money, Lu Qianshan suddenly had a thought and asked, "Mother, does everyone hide the money separately?"

After hiding the money, Mrs. Zhou said as she got off the kang, "That's right, keep it separately, if something happens, it won't be all taken out, right?"

Lu Qianshan felt that it was impossible for Lu and Zhang not to know something that the Zhou family knew, so the last picture of Lu Zhang's desperate appearance was probably for others to see, so that others would feel sorry for her.But no matter how pitiful she is, she is still richer than many people in the village. Just look at the size of the clothes exposed in the kang cabinet, it is really better than many people's.

Lu Zhangshi was indeed pretending to be pitiful. While packing up her things, she observed others from the corner of her eyes, then turned her back and pulled out a small box from the cabinet, opened it quietly, took a look, and quickly wrapped it in a furoshiki.In this small box were two 50 taels of silver bills, and four 20 taels of silver ingots of excellent quality.She plans to use this silver ingot to make jewelry when the old girl gets married. Who doesn't like snow-white silver jewelry?So, this is her last property.

After all, after controlling the family's money for so many years, even if there are some scholars who spend a lot of money, there are still many people who work. Before that, the Lu family was still a bit rich, and they were not really poor to the point of poverty.

For her jewelry, Lu Xiuxiu ran to the west of the village with a sad face, entered the house and said that her parents would be back today, you should quickly clean up the house, then turned around and ran back.She still has to tidy up her own house.

Mrs. Zhou took her daughter-in-law and second son into the kitchen to cook. Although she cooks on weekdays, the cost of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and meat is in Lu Zhang's hands. If she uses too much, she will be scolded. His face was red with scolding, his ears were red and tears were streaming down his face.Now that the kitchen is finally his own, Mrs. Zhou is naturally elated and plans to cook a table of delicious food.

Lu Qianshan glanced into the kitchen and couldn't help frowning.

He is a delicious person, even if he eats bigu, he can't forget to eat, probably because he was too hungry when he was a child.Moreover, not only is he delicious, but he can also do it himself. When he ate delicious food before, he only wanted to learn it, and he also learned a lot of secret recipes and so on.

But in this kitchen, there are really no other condiments when oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are produced.But it's normal, after all, this is a rural area, and there are many seasonings that haven't been made yet, or they haven't been used by people in pharmacies.

Mrs. Zhou ordered something in the kitchen and decided to kill a chicken to stew.

Hearing the noise of catching chickens in the backyard, Mrs. Lu Zhang couldn't help cursing viciously in a low voice: "You poor thing still eats chickens, so you're not afraid of choking to death!"Seeing those men still talking loudly, he was finally relieved, so he scolded Lu Guangming and Lu Qianshan from the Zhou family, Zeng family, and Lu Qianshan one by one.
