Chapter 439

After distributing the money, Mrs. Qian took out one ingot and five taels of silver from the cloth bag and handed it to Zhou Xi: "This is the money borrowed from you by the first elder, the fourth-in-law, and I'll pay it back to you."

Zhou Xi took it with a smile, "Xie Niang."

Qian shi looked at her with relief and said, "It's the Dragon Boat Festival, this year, the family has made such a large sum of money, you and your sisters-in-law can go shopping in the city, buy some brighter fabrics, and let you three Brother and sister teach you how to cut clothes."

When the daughters-in-law heard that they were going to enter the city, they couldn't help but glance at their husbands. Mrs. Qian directly bumped into Zhou Dalang, and Mrs. Fang pinched Thursday.

Before Thursday Lang could speak, Zhou Dalang already asked, "Mother, will we all go to the city later?"

Old Zhou looked at his old wife.

Qian Shi first looked at Man Bao, "Man Bao, do you want to go later?"

Man Bao said disappointedly: "Mr. said that the Dragon Boat Festival will not be a holiday."

Qian Shi nodded and said, "Then I won't go, you all go."

The children cheered and the daughter-in-law had a big smile on her face.

Qian Shi smiled and said: "The third family, the fourth family, you should keep the children at home. If the young children are taken out, it will be bad if they suffer from wind evil."

Mrs Qian reached out to Mrs He.

He immediately gave the five heads in his arms to his mother-in-law.

Qian said with a smile: "Children are not allowed to leave the village until they are one year old."

The daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family knows this rule, even Mrs. Fang, because she wanted to take the baby back to her parents' house when she was born, but Qian's family didn't let them go, saying that if she really wanted to go back to her parents' house, Then let Thuro send her back.

Go early and return early, but children cannot be taken out of the village.

Not only can they not be taken out of the village, but even a few hundred days ago, they could not even go to places a little further away from the village.

Especially in the mountains behind the house. Some time ago, when the farming was busy, Mr. He carried five heads on his back to stir the chicken food, but there was no one at home, so she let the chickens croak and did not send them to the back room.

If she goes, she must keep the five heads in the house or give her to take care of them.

In Qian's words, there are evil spirits in the far places outside. Adults are in class, but children cannot be contaminated with these evil spirits.

This is the parenting classic that their Qian family has passed down orally for many years.

Old Zhou Tou sat gloomily on the side, and Qian said to him, "Go to the city with the children and see."

Old Zhou Tou said unhappily, "No! What am I going to do in the city?"

Qian Shi said helplessly: "Go and buy me two pieces of fabric, it's getting hotter and hotter these days, buy me some fabric and come back to make clothes, buy two for yourself, and buy some for Man Bao. Headband, this kid will never tie his own hair."

Old Zhou Tou was happy again and asked, "What color do you want?"

"What other colors can I wear? You can buy it, and buy me some thread..."

Old Zhou Tou listened carefully and took a piece of silver from Mrs Qian after taking notes one by one. He looked at the silver and asked, "Why do you still take silver when you buy such a little thing?"

"You forgot, our cattle are still on credit. You'd better go to the county seat to see if you can pay back the credit."

Man Bao immediately said, "Mother, I'll pay it back."

Before Qian's speech, the old Zhoutou said: "No, no, this cow is for family use, how can I make you pay it back?"

Old Zhoutou is very confident now, "It's not that the family has no money, you keep the five taels of silver by yourself. If you buy books in the future, you will need to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone. By the way, Baoer, you still use Zhuangzi now. The book that Mr. copied? Why don't we buy it ourselves..."

"No," Man Bao categorically refused, "Mr. said he likes to copy books for me, because he copied one book for me, and I want to return two copies, and he can give it to two more people if he changes his hands."

"There are still people buying books from Mr. Zhuang."

"Yes, there's not much work to do in the field now. After we finish the morning class, Mr. will let us go to the classroom, and the former senior brothers will come to observe."

Sometimes when no one comes, Mr. Zhuang will move the classroom back to the small courtyard after class, but sometimes the classroom is quite cool, and Mr. Zhuang is too lazy to move around, so he asks them to go to the small courtyard to wait for the tea set into the classroom,

Since teaching only these three students, Mr. Zhuang has relaxed a lot and likes to teach them lessons while drinking tea.

Old Zhou Tou listened and felt that Mr. Zhuang was a really nice person, especially during festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival, he insisted on taking classes.

So the old Zhou Tou looked at the old wife and asked, "Do you think we want to buy some more things from the city for Mr. Zhuang? If we only send eggs..."

Qian thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhuang's clothes are all made by the Bai family, and we can't make better ones, but no one makes shoes and socks. Why don't you buy some better materials and come back at home? Make some socks for him."

Qian said with a smile: "Especially the shoes, didn't Man Bao say that Mr. Qian Erzhuang likes to go to the fields with them for lessons? Shoes are expensive in this field, and the soles of the shoes must be thickly covered to make walking comfortable."

Old Zhoutou now has money, so he is a little more generous, and nodded: "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

So it's settled.

After Qian's collected the remaining silver ingots, let everyone go away.

Old Zhoutou helped Qian put all the silver ingots in another bamboo box, and then hid them under the head of the bed.

But before he went to sleep, he couldn't help but look under the bed.

Seeing this, Mrs Qian laughed and said, "Don't worry, thieves don't dare to come to our house, and mice can't drag the money away, so sleep in peace, my mother's house will come tomorrow."

Uncle Qian said that he would come to the door tomorrow, and he came again the next day.

But today they entered the village in broad daylight. When they entered the village, it happened that the villagers had just finished their breakfast, and the weather was not hot, so the village was very lively.

There are people who are hoeing or weeding in the vegetable garden, and there are long queues of people washing clothes by the river. When the Qian family members enter the village with bags and baskets on their shoulders, the whole village sees them.

When walking by the river, the daughter-in-law of Qianjia Village, or someone who is related to people in Qianjia Village, would greet them, and then glanced over their baskets and bags, not hiding their curiosity.

Didn't you just come yesterday? Why are you here again today?

This time, the Qian family came to see the children, so they didn't hide it. They generously showed the meat in their hands, the noodles in the bag, and the eggs in the basket for everyone to see.

Originally, it was planned that Aunt Qian brought the second and third aunts, and at most a few daughters-in-law or children. Who knew that Aunt Qian was a little uneasy when he was lying down last night, and there were still some questions to ask. After discussing with Lao Zhoutou, we decided to come together.

When Uncle Qian saw that the elder brother was going to Qili Village, he immediately said that he would also go.
