Chapter 162 Is It the Tree that Is Strong, or Is It My Head that Is Strong?
While Mr. Chen was teaching Lingsu, Gong Yumingxi was also leading the children to say goodbye to Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou gave enough face to the Yan family. Shopkeeper Yi of Rende Hall felt that even because of Dr. Chen, his boss was too polite. Although he didn't understand why, it did not affect him to be more polite to the Yan family and personally treat people. Sent outside Rende Hall.
After returning home, I was still puzzled: "My boss, this Yan family..."
Lu Chenzhou waved his hand: "If something happens to the Yan family in the future, if you know about it, take more care of her. Whenever the little girl of the Yan family is in Rende Hall, you should respect her as your own girl."
Shopkeeper Yi was confused, but since his boss said this, there was no way he should be unreasonable.
Lingsu was in Rendetang, and he had to pick her up on the way back. It was not convenient to take the donkey cart on the street, so he left her in Rendetang. The Yan family went shopping, and anyway, there were two people, Brother Monkey and the eldest cousin. Those who work hard to carry things are not afraid of the inconvenience of shopping when shopping.
After Qixun's space was used, even if it was not easy to use the gold and silver in it, the confidence was there. This time, everyone didn't think about money again when buying things.
But as soon as I got to the street, I found that there was nothing missing at home except pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Food and clothing are all available, so there is no need to buy anything.
The group of people had no choice but to go to the bookstore. Everyone picked out a few books and bought a lot of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. They spent nearly two hundred taels of silver. It was difficult to carry so much, so they asked the people at the bookstore to deliver them directly. Went to Rendetang.
Gongyu Mingxi thought for a while and realized that this year was no different from previous years. Her family bought land and hills. Everyone in the village knew that her family was very rich now, so the amount given to the clan during the New Year would be larger than in previous years.
It will be the Little New Year in half a month, so we need to prepare any regulations now.
Her children couldn't count on the favors in the village, so she discussed with Lingzhou what to give to the village before the end of the year.
Lingzhou smiled and said: "Grandpa has said this at home before. This year's New Year's gift must be thicker than in previous years, but there is no need to say goodbye. What Grandpa means is that Second Aunt, you will give fifty For the elderly over the age of 10, each person should give five kilograms of fine grains, ten kilograms of coarse grains, two kilograms of meat, and a pack of snacks. All four gifts are enough. Then there are about a dozen children who have lost their parents, each with a cotton coat."
Regardless of the fact that there are more than a thousand people with all surnames in Yanjia Village, there are actually not many elderly people over fifty years old. At full count, there are only about forty people. Calculated as fifty people, one person has four rituals, no To one hundred and fifty wen, it adds up to more than seventy taels of silver.
As for the clothes and shoes for each of the ten or so children, they definitely couldn't be bought well, and it cost two to three hundred cents.
A total of more than eighty taels of silver, which is naturally a lot according to the previous family background, but it is really not much now. If I really want to give less, it will not look good on my face.
As fellow villagers, you can't ask others to say anything unpleasant, and there is really no need to care about this.
Even in later generations, those rich and powerful people are also particular about giving back to their hometown.
Spending a little money to get a good reputation is a good deal.
Besides, there is really one thing. The people who can fight for you are actually the people who can yell at you over trivial matters.
Gong Yumingxi nodded: "Okay, let's do it. Let's buy the food and children's clothes together today. The meat is easy to handle. Later, our family will just buy two pigs and kill them. We can make snacks at home, which is better than buying them outside. It’s okay.”
Brother Monkey said: "There is no need to buy pork."
He had killed a herd of wild boars before, and there were still a dozen wild boars in the space.
The quality of the meat is that of non-house-raised pig tenders. Even though it is lean meat, it is not liked by everyone. But should I replace the two kilograms with five kilograms?
As soon as Brother Monkey said that, Gongyu Mingxi knew what was going on and said with a smile: "That's okay."
Lingzhou said: "Brother Hao and I can go to the town to buy food someday. It will be troublesome to buy it from the county and transport it back. Just buy the children's clothes."
The group went to a ready-made clothing store and bought twenty sets of various sizes. Some of the ones that didn't fit the size could be exchanged.
Don’t be afraid of the extra ones. Apart from Ling Wei, who is not at home, there are nine other boys in your family. Are you afraid that no one will wear them?
Gong Yumingxi simply bought two slightly better ones for each of his boys. So there are nearly twenty sets again.
Lingzhou smiled and said, "My mother and aunts are very busy these days. The younger ones have their clothes and shoes damaged, and no one is helping to repair them. They are complaining these days. Second aunt, please buy them for them this time." I got new clothes, and they don’t know how happy they are when they see her.”
Country children rarely get new clothes every year, but this time they have two. Aren't they happy?
Gongyu Mingxi said: "From now on, my aunt will pay for your brothers' new clothes. Every year, one person and two people will change their clothes. Is there more? I will make the same clothes for you brothers. Then all ten of you guys will wear exactly the same clothes." , when you go out and people look at you, they will know that you are brothers."
Lingyu said: "Then no one will want to go with the second brother in the future."
Brother Monkey looked confused: "I'm very popular. Who among the brothers doesn't like me?"
Feeling pretty good about myself.
Lingzhou was amused by Lingyu, patted Brother Monkey on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister is complimenting you."
Brother Monkey was puzzled: "Why are you praising me? Don't you dislike me?"
Lingzhou rolled his eyes: "Our brothers are actually not bad in appearance, but you are too good-looking. If you wear the same clothes, everyone around you will be made ugly. Who would be happy? I don't care. unwilling!"
Brother Monkey immediately became happy after hearing this: "Hey, my little five still has a good sense. Mom, then I won't wear the same clothes as them, it will not be conducive to the unity of brothers!"
A few people were joking when they heard a "bang", and then another "bang". At first glance, they couldn't help but feel happy. They saw Qixun who had been silent and didn't know how to leave. , hit a tree on the street, she didn't realize it, and continued to move and hit.
Lingzhou was the closest to her, so he quickly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiaoxun, what's going on? Why can't you think about something? Come on, talk to your brother."
Qixun was pulled by someone, and then he came to his senses. Why does his forehead hurt? She looked up at her eldest cousin with a confused look on her face: "Huh?"
Gongyu Mingxi and Lingyu were angry and funny, and they didn't know what the child was thinking and distracted.
Then I saw that her forehead was red, and she felt a little distressed.
Gong Yumingxi sighed: "Who dares to let you go out alone in the future?"
Brother Monkey picked up Qixun and said distressedly: "Why did you hit the tree by yourself?"
As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to drive away Qixun's pain.
Only then did Qi Xun realize that he was distracted.
She was thinking about the exercises just now.
She entered the first level of Qi Refining, her mental power increased sharply, and her physical strength also improved. Unfortunately, she did not have suitable experimental equipment now, otherwise, she would have wanted to study what was going on with her body. Can spiritual practice really develop human genes?
At this moment, everyone looked at her with distressed and funny eyes. They also knew that I was embarrassed, but I adhered to the concept that as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. Qixun said very calmly, I just want to try to see if this tree is hard. , I still have a strong head.
