The third brother was very conflicted, as what the shopkeeper had taken out was already small and good-looking, and there were no other places selling lamps nearby, and this was already the largest shop.

In everything, just be half satisfied. Buy some good oil that doesn't suffocate you, and that should be enough.

I made up my mind and bought this.

"Can it be cheaper? I really want it."

The shopkeeper simply wrapped up the small oil lamp and put a small bottle filled with lamp oil inside.

"It's 760 wen in total. You can ask anyone you want. If you overpay, you can always come back and return it. I'll give you this oil as a gift. If you find it useful, come back next time."

Since he said so, there shouldn't be any problem. This shop is quite big and its reputation is guaranteed.

Suddenly I remembered that I didn't take a close look at the lamp just now. It would be bad if there was a crack or something.

"I don't think there will be any flaws in the shopkeeper's lamp."

"I checked, there's nothing. How about I take it out and show it to you?"

As he spoke, he was about to open the package.

The third brother waved his hands quickly.

"no need."

I took out a tael of silver and put it on the counter. I didn't know how the lamp would work, but I hoped it would be useful. If my daughter was not satisfied, I would save up some money and buy another one.

Thinking of this, he picked up the lamp and went out.

The shopkeeper counted the money and saw that the third brother was almost at the door, so he hurriedly chased after him.

"Sir, you don't want the money anymore."

The third brother turned around and slapped his forehead with his hand, "Look at my memory."

He quickly put down the lamp and put the change given by the shopkeeper into his purse.

Then he picked up the lamp, got on the donkey cart, went to the carpenter's shop, and bought a basin that he liked.

Looking at the large items in the car and the things I brought for them in my arms, I felt so satisfied. I drove slowly back home, thinking carefully not to break the jar.

Nier met a few aunts on her way home at noon and heard them talking about something like "big brother...backpack..."

I had always suspected that it was my uncle who did those things, so I quickly took a few steps forward and followed behind them to listen.

"You may not know that Boss Niu actually hooked up with the witch in the village."

"Why do you say that? I remember how cowardly he was when he was little. He would always avoid the witch's house when he passed by."

"I was washing clothes by the river the other day and saw him washing the witch's backpack."

"Oh my god, you must be seeing things."

"Not only me, but everyone saw it, and they were sure it was the witch's thing."

"That old Niu is not a kind person. He is greedy and lazy. He schemes against his own brother. You should stay away from him from now on."

"That's right. Nothing good will happen if you get involved with their family. Now here comes a witch. I won't pass by their house anymore. It's unlucky."

"That's right, I wouldn't pass by his house either, but why do you need to wash the backpack?"

"I guess it's filled with some dirty stuff."

"Big Niu dared to help carry those weird things of the witch. He must have been caught by someone."

"Hey~"

One of the aunts turned around and saw Ni'er, patted the other aunt's arm, and signaled with her eyes that she should stop talking.

The other one understood what he meant. Although they had divided the family business, he was still an elder after all, and it was not appropriate to say this in front of the children.

"Hello, aunties."

Nier smiled sweetly.

After a few greetings, she ran and jumped away. From their conversation just now, it was basically confirmed that the two things should have been done by the uncle.

The talisman paper must have been given to him by the fortune teller or to his grandmother. It is more likely to have been given to his grandmother. My uncle has no money to buy these things, and even if he has money, he would not spend it on them.

Burning paper next to the tree, the paper must have been given by a fortune-teller. I guess my uncle did something bad and was reluctant to spend money, so he went to the fortune-teller to do something in exchange for paper money.

We are not all family, so we cannot just look at others being better off.

Nier sighed inwardly, what's the point of them doing this? The things sold by the fortune teller will probably not be cheap, it would be better to use the money to buy some food.

I skipped back home and saw that my father's donkey cart was already parked there. I wondered if he had bought the things I told him about yesterday.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of people gathered around the dining table.

It seems like he is criticizing something.

"It's so exquisite. I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"You're okay. I've never seen anything like this. I've never seen anything like this."

Nier couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she looked inside and saw an oil lamp filled with oil on the table.

Dad actually bought it. It is double-layered, but it doesn’t have a cover. It can be used though.

"I really want to see what it looks like when it's lit up, but it's daytime now."

"If you want to watch it, come back in the evening."

The third child came over from the kitchen with food, "My daughter is back, please sit down."

Ni'er greeted the others and followed her father to the kitchen to help.

"I bought the lamp and came back. You saw it."

Nier nodded.

The third son thought about explaining to his daughter. After all, he didn't buy what she wanted. It would be bad if he made her unhappy. Fortunately, his daughter was a person who could listen to him.

"I've also seen the kind you mentioned that doesn't let the smoke escape, but it's too big and expensive, and it's not suitable for our small table."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands. When Ni'er saw that the lamp was so big, she instantly gave up the idea of ​​buying it. The house would have to be big and the table would have to be big to accommodate such a lamp.

"When we have a big table in the future, Dad will buy one of those."

Ni'er felt that her father was a little different from other people's families. His father would buy things according to his own preferences, and if he bought something wrong, he would come back and explain it to her.

If the eldest uncle and second uncle don’t even know how to buy things, even if they buy the wrong thing, they will not admit their mistake and will most likely yell at the aggrieved child.

It’s really nice to have a dad like this.

"It's okay, Dad. This one you bought is good enough. Just light it up at night. We will have our own oil lamp."

Ni'er thought that she was too embarrassed to stare at it when she was at someone else's house before. There were lights at her master's house, but she had never been there at night. This time she could see enough.

The third brother felt relieved when he saw that his daughter didn't seem unhappy.

After serving the food, invite everyone to eat together.

The weather is gloomy today. It has been raining for several days in a row, which scared these people. It will take a long time for the rain to stop.

This meal was eaten faster than the previous two days.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Without even saying a word, after dinner, the group said goodbye and headed home.

After seeing them off, the third brother's family finally breathed a sigh of relief. The three-day celebration of moving to a new house was finally over. Although it was a bit tiring, they were still very happy.
