This trip was also the last time Hua Xin sent drawings this year, and it was also the time when she made the most money.
There were more than two hundred taels of silver. Farewell to shopkeeper Zou, Hua Jin put the silver into the space according to her father's wishes.
At the same time, I secretly lamented that my father accepted it well. I just found out yesterday that I can control my daughter with confidence today.
Then he went straight to various grocery stores. Except for the seat in front where the father and daughter were sitting, the bullock cart was filled with coarse salt and charcoal, and the pile was higher than a person.
Each of the several grocery stores in the town bought a mile and a half of salt alone. If it weren't for the fear of being questioned, I would have bought it all.
Weighing nearly five hundred kilograms and several hundred kilograms of charcoal, the big ox at home was exhausted. After arriving home, it drank a whole basin of water and ate a trough of feed.
Money was also spent, and more than twenty taels of silver were gone.
Even though the family has been making a lot of money these days, everyone can't help but feel distressed when they hear that so much has been spent.
Then, while the heavy snow did not block the roads, Hua Chengtian decided to go to the county town again the next day. There was too little coarse salt in the shops in the town, so he went to the county town to bring back salt again. Since he was ready to save, he would save more.
Knowing what her father meant, how could Hua Jin let go of this opportunity to learn about the ancient county? After dinner, she went to her father and mother's room to express her intention to go together.
She also listed a series of benefits of following along. For example, the big scalper at home might not be able to bear the long journey, but it would be much easier if she followed him, and she could also protect her father, etc.
Especially the last item made Hua Chengtian very curious. If his daughter hadn't grown up, she would definitely pick up the child and lift it up high.
My daughter is so considerate that she wants to protect him as her father. I don’t blame him for loving her so much.
As soon as the child opened his mouth, Mrs. Qi instinctively disagreed. After all, the county town was so far away and you couldn't go back and forth in one day, which meant that you had to stay in the city for at least one night. How could the mother be at ease?
But when she heard the series of benefits listed by her daughter, Qi couldn't help but be convinced.
yes! Why did you forget your daughter’s magical paradise?
With a blessed land, there is really no need to worry too much.
And as my daughter said, it would be much more convenient to bring her along. You don’t have to worry about attracting attention on the road if you take her into the blessed place.
Mrs. Qi had no idea for a moment and looked at Hua Chengtian.
"His father?"
Looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, Hua Chengtian really couldn't say no.
"Daughter, the county town is very far away. It takes almost a whole day to take a bullock cart. Moreover, the journey is very uncomfortable. It is bumpy and difficult to walk. Do you really want to go with dad?"
If you can't refuse, you can only try to let your daughter think about quitting on her own.
I thought of everything but forgot that my daughter is a child after all. Children have nothing but curiosity and like to go out. How could she be scared away?
What's more, Hua Jin has made up his mind to go to the city with his father. If he misses it this time, he may not know when the next time will be.
"Dad, then I have to go with you. It's such a long way. How lonely it would be for Daddy to go there by himself! There's no one to talk to. It's great to have your daughter follow you and be able to talk to Daddy to relieve his boredom. You'll do more than one thing, Daddy." My daughter is very considerate, isn’t she?”
Hua Jin blinked a pair of black and white eyes as bright as stars and smiled brightly.
He was such a cute child, but the words he spoke made Hua Chengtian choked to death.
Hua Chengtian: "..." The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He could only look at his wife helplessly and silently urge her.
Although the road to the county seat is an official road and there is generally no danger, but the road is not close after all, so can we just be prepared?
Hua Chengtian still didn't want his daughter to follow him.
Seeing that her husband couldn't even convince the child, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but at the same time, she felt a headache seeing her daughter's determined look.
I used to think it was good for my daughter to have her own mind, but I no longer think so. Once she makes up her mind, she can't even be pulled away by eight horses.
Most importantly, she couldn't bear to see her daughter's disappointed expression.
Being pulled by her daughter to please her, shaking her arms and coquettishly, Qi immediately lost her firm stance.
"Her father, how about... let the child go with you."
Hua Chengtian: "..."
He smiled silently and shook his head, why did he put his hope in his wife?
How could I forget that the most doting person in the family is my wife?
It was better now. Looking at my daughter's eyes that suddenly lit up, I would definitely not be able to refuse her again.
"Ah...Mom is the best. That's what dad has decided. You guys should go to bed early. I've also gone back to my room to rest. I will get up very early tomorrow morning without my parents calling me."
Hua Jin looked very excited. Before Hua Chengtian could say anything, he had already arranged the following things. He spoke so fast that it was impossible to get in the middle of the conversation. Then he gave his parents a big smile and turned his head. He ran out of the room.
Don't give your parents a chance to say "no" at all.
Hua Chengtian, who was stunned by what you were doing, looked at the shaking door, then shook his head and laughed.
"This child..."
"Isn't that what you are used to?" Ms. Qi glared at Chengtian, never admitting that she was not firm just now. Anyway, it was her husband's fault.
"Yes...it's all my fault."
Years of experience told Hua Chengtian that it was always right to follow his wife's advice.
Otherwise... coaxing a daughter-in-law is a technical job, which is tiring and laborious. The problem is that you may not be able to coax her well, and it is clear at a glance what is more important.
"Humph" Qi's mouth raised.
"But husband...why don't I go with you tomorrow?"
Mrs. Qi gently snuggled into her husband's arms, with a hint of worry on her face, which was slightly stained by time.
Hua Chengtian looked at his beautiful-looking wife who had given birth to four children for him. He was still as fascinated as the one who married him more than ten years ago. How could he be willing to let his wife follow him all the way to the city?
Shaking his head: "It's okay. You should be at home. You forgot to boil salt with your parents. Don't worry. If something really happens, just like my daughter said, she can just go into the space and it will be over. Let's talk about the road to the county seat. It’s been very peaceful and I haven’t heard of anything happening over the years, so let’s not scare ourselves.”
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she immediately laughed.
If you really care, you will be confused and think too much.
It's not like there were so many roadblocks and robberies during the famine years.
He nodded immediately.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Hua Chengtian blew the oil lamp on the bed, hugged his wife and whispered: "Don't think so much, look at your man will not be at home tomorrow, don't want to have a good time Make it up to him.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward and was slapped by Qi in the dark.
The night was dark and cold, but there was a warm wave inside the house.
Hua Jin closed the door here and entered the space directly, and started digging hard again.
This will be something she will do in her free time from now on.
An hour later, Hua Jin stopped digging on the floor, wiped the sweat from her head, returned to the room, took a shower, dried her hair, drank a glass of milk and disappeared into the space.
I have to get up early tomorrow. I can work at any time and I can't run away. Dad doesn't wait for anyone.
