Chapter 153 Money

Standing in front of the window watching the interaction between the two children, Liu Shi couldn't help but bring a smile on her face. She sighed and turned to leave.

Daji lowered his head and lowered his hands to keep up.

Mrs Liu stopped in her footsteps and said, "Let them go, don't stop me. As for Magistrate Fu, don't worry about it."

Good luck.

Liu Shi turned to face the front, and said softly: "How can there be any old friends, people take tea to cool, not to mention Qi'er and him have never intersected."

So don't be too concerned.

That being said, both the grandparents and grandsons of the Bai family were saddened by Magistrate Fu's mention of Bai Qi. Mrs. Liu kept her sadness in her heart, but Bai Shanbao couldn't help crying at night.

He doesn't remember his father for a long time, and he doesn't exist in his memory, but he grew up listening to him, and because he didn't have a father, he was always bullied, so that he knew in his small heart that it was good to have a father. Yes, Dad will protect him.

So for three days, his little pillow was wet.

Liu saw all this in his eyes and did not intervene.

But soon Bai Shanbao didn't have time to dream about his father in his little head, because he decided to dig up his ginger.

His ginger grows very well, even better than Manbao's. It's fat, and the strings are connected. He loosened the soil with a small hoe, held the ginger leaf and pulled it up to bring out a string. Come.

Bai Shanbao was very happy, so he went to his grandmother to exchange money with Jiang in his arms.

Liu Shi gave him a bunch of money, Bai Shanbao couldn't be more happy, and took the money to find Manbao, "Look, I made a lot of money."

Man Bao was not envious at all, she ran back to her room, took out her bamboo box from Keke, and took it out to find him, "mine is more than yours."

Old Zhoutou was sitting on the threshold smoking a cigarette, when he heard the words, he knocked on the cigarette rod, quietly stood up and looked here, and found that he could not see clearly, so he took a few steps forward.

Man Bao squatted in the yard and opened his box to show him her money.

There was a small pile of scattered copper plates, and four strings of copper plates that were tied separately. Man Bao counted them out and showed them to him, saying: "There are still twenty-two, and I will have another string."

Man Bao proudly said: "When my fifth brother returns from the county seat, there must be a bunch."

Bai Shanbao envied, "How did you make so much money?"

"If I hadn't bought meat to eat every day, I would have saved more." Man Bao said with his fingers crossed: "My fifth brother and the others can sell ginger for hundreds of dollars every day. It's winter, and those who eat ginger There seem to be more people."

"Hey, didn't you say you eat radish in winter and ginger in summer?"

"Yeah, that's what my friend said, but it's strange that they all eat it in winter."

Standing old Zhou Tou thought, two fools, ginger is harvested in autumn and winter, not eaten in autumn and winter, who still digs out ginger and eats it when it is not big?

He quietly glanced at the money in the box full of treasures, knowing it.

A few small pieces of money were held by Man Bao. Old Zhoutou never knew how much they earned, but he knew that their money Man Bao was divided.

Man Bao said that the money was hers, and that was hers.

The money of the fifth and the sixth is about the same as that of Manbao, but the two boys are very hardworking. They even buy vegetarian buns for lunch when they enter the city. Unlike the fourth, who only has four cents in his hand to buy meat Bag.

And since Man Bao became rich, she started to buy meat at home again, or asked Zhou Lang to buy some ingredients when he went to the big fair in the morning, or asked Wu Zhou to buy it from the county town.

Old Zhoutou counted the money that Man Bao spent recently, and he knew the money the old five and six had earned during this period of time.

After this calculation, Old Zhou was satisfied, and before going to bed at night, he deliberately discussed with his wife in front of Man Bao, "Winter is coming, and the fourth is returning from his military service. I think we can prepare for building a house."

Qian Shi also nodded, "Just get up from the open space next to it, follow the building, and open a door in the yard to go there."

Old Zhou nodded and said, "Since it is going to be built, I'm thinking of building two more rooms, so let's just build seven big houses."

Qian looked at her husband in surprise.

Old Zhou Tou habitually twitched his hands and said, "The fourth is about to get married, and the fifth is about to get married. They all have to have their own rooms, so three rooms have to be built. She is a scholar, and she has to build a room for her, and the grandchildren of Datou and Daya are getting older every year, so I thought about building a few more rooms for them to live in at that time."

This is different from what they discussed before, Qian Shi frowned.

The house they live in now was built when Man Bao was one year old. The six large houses that cost a lot of money to build are made of stones and blue bricks. They can't say the first part in the village, but they can count them.

Before that, they lived in low, low, half-mud, half-thatched houses with small windows, and hardly any light could be seen in the house during the day, let alone at night.

Man Bao may not be used to it, or she may be weak. She has been crying a lot. She cried for half a year. As a result, it rained a lot that year, and many red rashes developed on her body. Old Zhoutou and Qian Shi were frightened. No, I'm afraid the child will just die.

Later, the doctor said that the place where I lived was too humid.

Old Zhoutou just gritted his teeth and built these five stone houses with the money he had hidden, and he deliberately opened the window of the main room a little bigger.

In summer, I take Man Bao to sleep by the window, which is not only ventilated and dry, but also basked in the sun from time to time.

In winter they live indoors.

It was only two years ago that Man Bao started to sleep separately.

They discussed it before. The fourth child is already a teenage boy, so he wants to have a family, so he has to have a house of his own, but the fifth and sixth are not in a hurry. The brothers can live there first, and the extra one built will be given to Manbao. , wait until the fifth is about to say kiss, just build another one.

As a result, the old Zhoutou actually wants to build seven rooms in one go?

Qian Shi stared at him with a very strange look.

Old Zhou Tou coughed lightly: "Since it is going to be built, let's build it all at once. Isn't the fourth eldest about to pay off the money recently? Plus what the eldest and the others handed over, it should be enough to build a house, right?"

Qian Shi was silent for a moment and said, "But the fourth child has to say kiss."

Old Zhou Tou also sighed, his face full of sorrow.

Man Bao, who was next to him, couldn't help but stretched out his little hand to stroke their eyebrows, and quickly said, "Father, mother, I also have money, and I will build a house for you."

The old Zhoutou hugged her in his arms, "Good girl, your brother and the others live in this house. You first lend them to build the house, and then your father will let them pay you back."

Qian: ... She finally knew what he was thinking.

Man Bao didn't know anything, and said with a simple face: "Didn't I also share a room? Of course I'm going to be a part too, and I don't have to pay my brothers."

"What one, we will divide you into two rooms, one for sleeping and one for study. In the future, you will also invite the young master of the Bai family to do your homework at home."

Qian Shi gave him a sideways look and said, "Shut up."

Under the circumstance of being unable to live at home, Man Bao occupies two rooms, what should the daughters-in-law think?
