Chapter 274 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (24)
The county magistrate won the appreciation of the peak with his water wheel and almanac, and his promotion was a matter of time.
I took some time and came with my wife to give Xu Yin a reward.
“The hero still doesn’t want to follow his own example?”
Xu Yin smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for your appreciation! But I have to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, and I have to wait for my eldest brother to come back."
It is a pity that the county magistrate's recruitment failed.
It was the first time that the county magistrate's wife saw Xu Yin's true face, and she sighed in her heart: What a handsome young man! You are so wonderful, how great it is to be my niece and son-in-law!
“Hero really doesn’t care about my niece?”
Xu Yin shook her head firmly.
The county magistrate’s wife is also very sorry.
The couple left with melancholy.
Erlang opened the gift box given by the county magistrate, and was so surprised that his chin almost hit the corner of the table.
“Silver, silver, silver!! Lots and lots of silver!!”
The county magistrate rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver.
For Erlang, who only had a few pennies, it was a huge sum of money.
He closed the gift box in a panic, shook his hands and said: "Sister-in-law, there is no place to hide money in our house! My mother used to hide it in a hole in the wall, but this house has wooden walls and cannot dig holes, and this, so There is so much money that you can’t hide it even if there is a hole in the wall, what, what should I do?”
Xu Yin scratched his nose in a funny way: "Wouldn't it be better to put it under the bed? Others don't know that our family has so much money."
Hearing the sound under the bed, Erlang shook his head: "No, no, no, no! It's empty under the bed. You can see it at a glance when you lie down on the ground. I have to look for a safe place..."
"Okay." Xu Yin pulled him, "You take your third sister out to play, and my sister-in-law will find a place where no one knows. If you don't believe me, come back and look for her. You won't find her."
"real?"
“When did my sister-in-law lie to you?”
As soon as Erlang left, Xu Yin took the silver and the gift box into the system warehouse.
When it comes to hiding, is there any safer place than your personal space?
After Erlang came back, he looked for the silver with hesitation.
When he searched the whole house but couldn't find it, he was surprised and felt extremely relieved at the same time.
“Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!”
The leader of the Kua Kua group is active again!
“Sister-in-law, when will the market in the next town open?” Erlang suddenly asked.
Xu Yin thought for a while: "In three more days? What's wrong? Do you want to go shopping?"
“Sister-in-law, we have money, hurry up and redeem the dowry jewelry!”
Xu Yin was deeply moved. This child had been thinking about the hairpin she used as a gift.
"Erlang is interested. But the hairpin is for dead and cannot be redeemed."
Erlang's eyes turned red: "Sister-in-law..."
"Hey, why are you crying? Those are just external things. If you **** them, you can **** them. At least we can eat and drink well and be healthy. We make money to live a good life, and we are not bound by those external things. . Just like when my sister-in-law was sick, didn't Erlang resolutely take out the ginseng left by his parents to treat her illness? "
“That’s different…”
Erlang was still in his own mood, sobbing and refusing to speak. Third sister blinked her cute big eyes and said in a waxy voice: "Sister-in-law, can third sister buy needlework?"
“Third sister, you want to buy needlework? Don’t you have needlework at home?”
"It's not the needle and thread, it's for embroidery. Third sister wants to embroider like sister Lihua. Sister Lihua said that embroidery can be exchanged for money. Third sister embroidered flowers and exchanged money for buying beautiful beaded flowers for my sister-in-law."
Xu Yin picked her up, kissed her soft little face and said, "Oh, our third sister is so sensible! But third sister is still young, is it too early to do embroidery?"
Sanmei was a little shy when she was praised: "Sister Lihua started learning when she was four years old."
…”
Xu Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.
Later I met Li Hua Niang and heard from her that her Li Hua really started to use embroidery needles when she was four years old. After practicing for three or four years, she was able to embroider some simple patterns, and she could exchange them for a few pennies in the embroidery house. He also said that if Sanmei is willing to learn, she can teach her.
“The girl’s family has good embroidery skills, and it will be convenient for her to marry her when she is old. When she gets married, she can do some embroidery work to supplement the family income. Everyone in her husband’s family would like it.”
Xu Yin heard what Lihua Niang said and couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
According to her thinking, a little girl of four or five years old is at the age of jumping around and playing with butterflies. It would be too cruel to embroider with needle and thread.
But Li Hua Niang’s statement is correct at present: the girl’s family has a good craftsmanship, and she will not have to rely on her husband’s family when she marries in the future.
Furthermore, modern children have been learning to draw, dance, and play the piano since kindergarten. Now that they don’t have the conditions, it’s not a bad idea to take embroidery as a hobby.
In addition, Sanmei is not very interested in literacy endorsement.
In the first few days, I could still sit upright and learn a few things. Once the freshness wore off, I couldn’t sit still for five minutes before sliding off my stool and running out to feed the chickens and fish.
The farm work is done well, but he is unwilling to sit down and learn to read and memorize.
Xu Yin: This is a real scumbag potential.
If embroidery can make her sit still, then learn it!
So, on the day of the market, she asked her third sister to pick out a set of embroidery tools and some defective cloth for practice.
After returning home, I cut a piece of light blue linen and made her a small satchel. All necessary items for embroidery are packed inside, so you are not afraid of losing them on the road.
The next day, Xu Yin didn’t need to remind her. The little girl carried her beloved little satchel and skipped to Lihua’s house to learn embroidery.
Xu Yin followed her and watched her all the way, feeling quite complicated.
I finally understand why parents of later generations have to stop and look around and take photos when sending their first-grade children to register for school.
She now feels like an old mother sending her children to school.
“Brothers, heroes! Brothers, heroes!”
Xu Yin turned around and saw Shi Feng. He had come to deliver firewood to her home again.
I have told you many times not to give it away anymore, but a few of them, saying "good, good, good", still refuse to give it away every day.
“How are your parents doing recently?”
“Well, after drinking the herbal medicine you asked Erlang to send, I haven’t had a cough in the past few days.”
“As you get older, your immunity is weak, so remember to add more clothes in the morning and evening. Also, herbal medicine is not a panacea. When the season changes, drink some to prevent colds. The key is to rely on your daily routine..."
Xu Yin shared some tips on health care.
In order to survive in this small world, I followed a lot of public health accounts and read a few articles before going to bed. Even in ancient times, I could be considered half a theoretical expert.
Shi Feng listened and nodded. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead: "I forgot to tell you something, brother. There may be another group of people fleeing here. I heard the news when I went to the town to sell firewood this morning."
“Brother Feng! Brother hero! Something bad is going on!”
At this time, Shi Fengnian ran over panting, "Something happened! There was a riot in Tongxing Mansion! Someone rebelled, pushed down the city gate and started fighting with the soldiers! I heard that many people died. The imperial court sent troops to suppress it, and some Many rioters have fled to Dongxuan Mansion, and I'm afraid our place won't be peaceful for long."
