North and South groceries

The problem of funding for the promotion of biogas digesters has also been resolved. Luo Yong is finally relaxed now. He no longer runs around all day, leaves early and returns late, and spends a few days at home.

For a period of time after that, Luo Yong squatted at home except for the necessary visits to Dian Mao and Shang Dynasty.

In April and May, the city of Chang'an was neither too hot nor too cold, and the temperature was suitable. The county lord's mansion where they lived was spacious and comfortable enough. It was a very comfortable day to day.

Before Luo Yong came back from Changle County for thousands of miles, he didn't have time to take a good rest. First, he became the magistrate of Chang'an County, and then he started an engineering school, edited a book, and planned the promotion of biogas digesters. Too busy.

It's rare to be free at this moment, and he doesn't want to take any more work on himself. He hides everything when he can, and hides for a few days before talking about it.

When there is nothing to do, Luo Yong likes to hold a few idle books, and then move a bed to the corridor of the main room, leaning there and watching it for half a day, sometimes he falls asleep just looking at it, and sleeps until four o'clock. Niangorang and the others came back from outside, yawned and wiped the corners of their mouths, and got up to have dinner with them.

There is also a woman who cooks and cleans in the mansion, but she is hired by Si Niang, and the wages are paid from her, and most of the other expenses in the house are paid from her.

Luo Yong basically doesn't care about anything now, he is a freelancer, and Erniang is also a freelancer, let alone Wulang, Liulang and Qiniang. Now the family is actually headed by the fourth mother.

"Brother, are those few words today really good?" During the meal, Si Niang asked Luo Yongdao.

"I haven't finished it yet." Luo Yong replied, in fact, he just picked up a booklet and turned a few pages today, and then fell asleep.

"I must have fallen asleep again." Qiniang laughed from the side.

"Those few books are not good-looking, bro, don't read them, I will find some good ones with you some other day." Wu Lang said.

"Yes, Goro loves story books the most, he has even read the story books." Qiniang answered, "I found a book with me earlier, it's very good."

"When did I find it with you? You took it from my room and left." Wu Lang denied.

"Qiniang will be fourteen this year, don't come into your brother's house at will." Erniang also said the same.

"I told her earlier that I was meddling in other people's business." Liu Lang also said.

"You're the only one talking too much." Qiniang dared to bark her teeth at Liu Lang, not daring to say anything else.

"Liu Lang is right, Qiniang should not be stubborn."

After being said a few words by Si Niang and Er Niang each, Qiniang shut her mouth, looking rather aggrieved.

After a while, Wulang and Luo used them to talk about some new scripts that had been released in Chang'an City recently, and she became excited again, eager to try and interrupt.

Due to the popularity of "Song of Baidie" and "Xueling Canal", many people in Chang'an City have also seen the market for this kind of novels, and some people are purely inspired by these two novels to write novels. Interest in novels, so I started writing along with it.

Some of these scripts were engraved and printed for sale, while others were not printed and just hired people to copy. Some of these scripts were unprinted and very popular, so it was hard to find them. There are many words that can be obtained. Qiniang likes to read this, so she always goes to his room to look for it.

Nowadays, pens and paper are not expensive in Chang'an City, as long as someone who can read and write can write a storybook by himself.

Earlier, there was a scholar on the edge of Dongshi. He used to set up a stall in Dongshi to write family letters for others. A few times later, in a small courtyard, there were old and young, and life was very difficult for the big family.

Later, he started to write story books. Some booksellers thought they were pretty good, so they paid for them. It was heard that several copies had been sold. There were also rumors that he was going to buy a house next to Dongshi. I don’t know the truth. Fake.

Among the brothers and sisters of the Luo family, some like to read this person's script, and some don't.During the dinner that day, we started discussing each other, and everyone expressed their opinions, each of them was well-organized and insightful.

Luo Yong listened on the sidelines, feeling very relieved.There is something magical and satisfying about raising these little ones and watching them grow and gradually begin to have their own thoughts and judgments.

After dinner, Siniang told Luo Yong that he would invite Hou Lin and his wife to move to the county lord's mansion.

The reason for such thoughts is mainly because Azhi, Azhi lived with Siniang and the others for a long time, and they had a good relationship, and now she and Hengzhi live in the county lord's mansion .

It's just that Hengzhi is at the engineering school all day long, Si Niang and the others also leave early and return late, Er Niang was free a while ago, and recently she has become a little busy working on the face towel workshop, so A Zhi seems to be busy these days Some are alone.

Two days ago, Erniang and Azhi went to Da Niang's side together, and it happened that Hou Lin's wife, Huang Xianglan, was also there, and the two hit it off.

Although Huang Xianglan came from a wealthy family, she is rarely a thrifty person. She would often take some needlework home from those tailor shops in the West Market to earn some money and silk to supplement the family expenses. Ah Zhi and her have learned that in the past few days.

Since the two of them hit it off, and Hou Lin and Hengzhi were studying at the same engineering school, he could have asked their family to move here as well. Anyway, the county lord's mansion is big enough to live in.

Since Si Niang said so, Luo Yong naturally would not object.

The next day, he went to find Hou Lin and told him about it. Hou Lin was very happy when he heard it, and he agreed.

Both of them are masters of careful budgeting. They always want to save some money for later, so that they can feel more at ease. After all, they have no one to rely on, and they can only rely on themselves for everything.

If they move to the county lord's mansion, the small courtyard they live in now will be vacant, and they can get some money every month if they rent it out. The pie is about the same.

Within a few days, Hou Lin's family moved into the county lord's mansion, along with a servant girl next to Huang Xianglan, and their three or four-year-old eldest son.

This Mr. Hou Xiaolang has a small nose and small eyes, quite delicate, just like him Aye.Within two days of moving here, I saw him running around in the front and back yards, very serious.

Huang Xianglan seemed a bit rigid, and she also said that she would discipline her children more strictly, but she didn't expect that she would be hard-pressed.

One day, Erniang and the others gossiped with Huang Xianglan, saying that she was not willing to take care of the child, let alone beating her, and never heard her scolding a few times. Huang Xianglan said that it was because this kid looked like him, Aye.Made a few women laugh so hard.

Speaking of this emotional matter, Luo Erniang is 28 years old this year, and there is still no movement at all. Luo Yong is also 27, and there is also no movement.

Si Niang is younger, only 22 years old this year, but in the eyes of people of this era, she is also an older leftover woman.

The situation between Si Niang and Bai Yimao, Luo Yong and the others are not easy to talk about. From the perspective of the elder brother, they don't want her to be subject to so many restrictions, and it is not easy for her to give up this relationship.

This situation is a difficult problem for everyone, and there is no way to say which choice will be better, it can only depend on how they choose.

Originally, the relationship between these two people was also very vague, but recently after Bai Yimao went to Hexi, for some reason, he seems to have figured it out.

Luo Yong and the others could also see that the relationship between these two people was becoming clearer.

At the beginning of the fifth lunar month of this year, which was the beginning of summer, Siniang received a letter from Hexi.

In the letter, Bai Yimao said to Siniang: "...you and I are not soft-tempered people, and we don't have the idea of ​​trying to accommodate others. Since we have each other in our hearts, there is no reason why we can't."

This was the time when they spoke the most clearly, and it was also the time when their attitude was the firmest.

After receiving this letter, Si Niang's originally hesitant heart finally settled down.

As Bai Yimao said, she is not a weak person, she can bear weight, and she is not afraid of the difficulties and dangers ahead.

Now knowing that the other party's attitude is as firm and clear as hers, so let's face the difficulties together.I just don't know to what extent this world can grind the two of them together in the end.

……

That night, Luo Yong was dragged out to entertain, and when he returned to the mansion, he saw Siniang practicing swords in the courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Luo Yong walked to the corridor and asked Liulang and Qiniang who were sitting and eating cherries.

"I don't know." Liu Lang replied squarely: "Someone sent Bai Yimao's letter just now, after reading it, she is like this."

"There must be another quarrel." Qiniang shook her head and sighed like an adult.

"Why are you quarreling again?" Luo Yong also felt that the two of them probably quarreled again.

"Who knows?"

Speaking of which, Luo Siniang and Bai Yimao are also strange people. They are separated by thousands of miles and only communicate once in several months. Just like that, they can quarrel.

There was a quarrel in February, and Si Niang was so angry that she didn't sleep all night. She also practiced swords in this courtyard in the middle of the night.
