Shelter in the pastoral

The 30 taels of silver that Fang Shujing took was too timely. Father Fang, who has always been prudent, couldn't sit still right now.Said: "I will go now."

It was Fang who pulled him back and said, "Where are you going?"

"I have to buy wood. If it's too late, it will be gone." He knew that a wood merchant was quite solid, and he had a lot of good goods in his hands.Now that it is snowing heavily, he can't leave. When the snow melts and he can leave, he will go to the south again to do business. Then it will be difficult to find a trader with high-quality wood and reasonable prices like him.

"Now on the second day of the Lunar New Year, look where there are people going outside, who doesn't have a reunion dinner?" Fang was a little angry, and wanted to run away after getting her son's money, so what's wrong with leaving Fang Shujing aside? Thought.

Fang Shujing didn't care, said: "Mom, I can eat any day, so it's important to let Dad do things."

"Yes, yes, yes." Father Fang agrees with Fang Shujing's words. You don't have to worry about keeping so much money at home. It's better to replace it with wood. Now that the price of this wood shop keeps rising, it's not easy to find a reliable vendor. , Where can I manage so much.

When Fang heard what he said, she said: "Then let Da Lang go with you, I don't feel relieved that you are an old man with so much money."

Father Fang said: "Da Lang hurry up and change your clothes and come with me." His carpentry skills have been passed on to his eldest son, so it's better to let him get in touch with him in advance.The hearts of both of them were a little fiery, and it happened that the sky outside had cleared up.Simply tidy up and head out the door.

Fang said to Fang Shujing: "Look at the two of them, there is no room for leftover steamed buns in the kennel." Their buttocks are on fire, and if they are not allowed to leave today, they may not be able to stay in the house.

Fang said: "You gave us all the silver, do you have any more?"

"and also."

"That's good." Fang said: "I don't worry about you child at all." Fang said: "Your father has been under the supervision of others for so many years, and has never been under the supervision of others. If these people don't What can I do?"

Fang Shujing said: "Let Xu Quan go over and help." He has experience in managing people.Fang Shujing then remembered an important thing: "The price of grain in the county has increased to [-] Wen a catty, can we buy more grain here?" Otherwise, eating with fifty people is not a joke.

When Fang heard this, he said: "These grain merchants are really unkind. How can ordinary people afford to eat at such an expensive price. The village head has grain in stock. They are all in the same village and are related, so there will be no price increase. Just wait until next year Now, we will not sell the grain we planted in the next year, and keep it for ourselves!"

Fang Shujing said: "Otherwise, let's do it this way. From now on, anyone in the village who finds father to make furniture will be charged half of the grain and half of the money."

Fang's eyes lit up after hearing this: "It's better if you have a flexible mind." It's too difficult to save some money in the countryside, so I still like the old way of bartering.

"Get some more clothes." Fang Shujing remembered the tattered clothes everyone was wearing.

In the village, there is homemade cloth weaved by ourselves. Although the hard colors are only blue and black, it is cheap and durable. Basically, it will not break after five or ten years of wear.The homespun cloth they made themselves could not be sold, and each household weaved it by themselves.

It would be most suitable to make clothes for these servants.

Fang said: "Then I'll go and talk to everyone. Let everyone make clothes and make a set for five yuan. A piece of cloth is thirty yuan." I remember that there was a peddler who bought cloth at this price. , but after I received it once, I stopped coming.

Fang's character is also restless. Hearing that there is so much work, the head of the family and the eldest son have both left, and she is a little worried.

Fang Shujing said: "Mother, you go to work, I have to go back early."

"Hey." After Fang sent her son away, she hurried to the village head's house to talk about food.The former son of the village chief wanted to sell grain, so he built a cellar full of it.There was a snowstorm outside and there was a shortage of food everywhere, but the village head's wife refused to let him sell food.

The wife of the village head is a little older, so she doesn't look at the problem all by money.There are disaster victims and bandits outside.If someone catches on to this, it's a small thing if you don't get the money back, but it's a big thing if you lose your life.They had no offspring, so they passed incense on to their sons.Going out to sell things is fine, but going out to sell food is absolutely not.

When Fang knocked on the door, the village chief was smoking his pipe.The smell of smoke is strong and choking.

Fang didn't come to the door empty-handed, and brought ten eggs when he came.

The village head's wife opened the door and said, "Come here, why do you bring something?" Having said that, she still happily took the egg.Chickens don't lay eggs in winter, and they were killed long ago when it was getting cold.There were no eggs at home, so she came at the right time.

Fang said: "The two of my family have gone out. It's boring to leave me alone. Come here and you are doing your homework."

The village head's wife said: "Come in quickly, this heavy snow can kill people, and they will grow hair if they are covered at home."

When Fang came in, the village head knocked down the dry tobacco in a hurry.Said: "Why are you here?" She, who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, came to his house instead of being at home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The village chief's house is also hot in the heated kang house.All the visitors greeted the Kang.The village chief's wife brought a plate of melon seeds and peanuts from nowhere, grabbed a handful and put them in Fang's hands: "You are welcome here."

The two women were eating melon seeds on the kang, and the village chief sat on a chair to avoid suspicion.

Fang looked around: "Where's your son?" He was a sophomore in junior high school, and he was nowhere to be seen.

The village head's wife mentioned him and said: "Don't mention that little kid, I can't stop getting angry with him every day. He wants to go out to earn money on the seventh day of the seventh day. I refused to let him, but he got angry with me and closed the door and refused to come out. .”

Fang said: "He has grown up, a man knows that earning money is a good thing, he is self-motivated."

The village head's wife laughed and scolded: "The feeling is not your son, you don't feel bad. Why do you go outside in this heavy snow. It's not like the family can't open the pot. It's useless." Then she said with emotion: "You can be regarded as hard work. Fang Shujing is also obedient and polite, no one in our village will boast when they see each other." Although the Fang family was dragged down by Xu Ziyang for so many years before, the family almost got their necks tied.But Bai picked up a scholar's son, and the coming and going was evened out.

Mrs. Fang was not polite when mentioning Fang Shujing, saying: "He is worry-free. His knowledge is recommended by the master in the private school. We don't understand. Anyway, he handles things by himself. Now His daughter-in-law is still pregnant, hey, God bless you."

"How nice."

Fang said: "Today, I really came here to ask for something. Let me say this, it would be the best if it can be done. If not, don't forget to take it to heart and pretend that I have never been here. Our relationship is still the same."

The village head and the village head's wife looked at each other, and they both felt a little bit in their hearts. Hearing her tone, she probably wanted to borrow money.

The village regards things as cheap, but money is the only thing that is important. Every family saves a little, and why give it to others if they haven't got the flowers themselves.But it's really hard to refuse if she opens her mouth.

The village head said: "What, you can tell."

Fang said: "Doesn't your family have food, can you sell me some, my family needs a lot, the cheaper the better."

Fang could hear the village chief's daughter-in-law let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Hey, you don't need to talk about that, the relatives can still make you money, how much do you want?"

"At least five thousand catties."

The village head and the village head's wife exclaimed at the same time: "How much?"

Fang repeated it again.

The village head said: "Why do you need so much food?" Could it be that they want to sell food.

Fang said that his family wanted to set up a wood furniture factory and had already bought [-] people. He said that he wanted to build a house on the wasteland, and said, "Don't tell anyone about it." However, if there is such a big commotion, you have to say hello to the village chief, and the people in the village will know sooner or later.

The village head and the village head's wife have been shocked several times, and they are still in shock when they hear the news...it's so sudden.
