There was a "crash" sound.
Bai Dazhuang placed a cloth bag on the table in the upper room.
Shocked, Xiao Fuyuan opened her eyes.
What did the big brother put?
"Milk, mom and dad, all the money from selling wild boar meat is in it." Bai Dazhuang said.
He went to the town early in the morning with his second and third sons and sold half a fan of wild boar meat. He didn't have time to have lunch before returning home in the wind and snow.
Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand to weigh the cloth bag, which was heavy. Then she took out a piece of silver and looked at the snow light outside to see its quality, with surprise on her face.
Zhen and Bai Banban were equally surprised.
They hadn't seen such a large piece of silver in so many years.
On weekdays, Bai Erzhuang's repairs were all scraps of silver and copper plates. Bai Erzhuang and his wife went to Huaicheng to work part-time for a year and earned only scraps of silver, and they hadn't saved up yet.
Bai Zhaomei Erlang Sanlang surrounded the old lady Bai, staring at the silver together.
This was also the first time they had seen such a large silver ingot.
"Brother, can you let me touch it?" Bai Zhaomei asked in amazement, "How many taels of silver does this cost?"
Mrs. Bai was not stingy and handed it to Bai Zhaomei.
Bai Zhaomei took the silver and touched it carefully. After touching it, she was still not satisfied, so she put it in her mouth and bit it.
"It's so hard." Bai Zhaomei's tooth hurt.
It was so funny that everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll touch it too."
"I want to touch it too."
Dalang Sanlang also asked to touch the silver, and Bai Zhaomei handed it to the two little guys to touch it again. Even Erlang, who was lying on the bed, also touched the silver.
The entire upper room was filled with laughter and warmth.
"Okay, all this money has been wiped out by you."
Bai Dazhuang looked at his fifth brother and his son and nephew with disgust. He really had never seen the world.
Although, this was his first time seeing such a large piece of silver.
In the town, when he first heard the price offered by the buyer, he thought he had heard it wrong; when he saw the person taking out the money, his hands were so excited that he almost stopped holding it.
He was still in a daze all the way back.
He held the silver tightly in his arms, and his heart trembled when his hands touched the hard silver in his arms on the way.
Of course, he couldn't talk about this. He had to maintain the image of the eldest brother of the Bai family who had seen the world.
The white wooden board looked at the silver happily.
He had seen such heavy silver before when he was a child.
I didn’t expect that I would still be able to appear at Lao Bai’s house in my lifetime.
This piece of silver is enough for farmers to feed themselves for a year.
The white board looked towards Zhen, who looked calm. There was a layer of distress in the white wooden eyes. Such money was nothing to the Zhen family in the past. The life his daughter-in-law lived in the Bai family was completely different from the past.
Over the years, I have really failed my mother-in-law.
Little Fuyuan nestled in Zhen's arms, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Yinzi with a curious look on her face.
It turns out that this is ancient silver!
This was the first time she saw it. It was equivalent to her previous New Year's money. She could buy candies, bubble machines and Barbie dolls.
"Bah bah bah..." Xiao Fuyuan laughed at Yinzi, making a cheerful sound from his mouth.
"Aren't you a little money fan? You are so happy to see the money." Mrs. Zhen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Beep, bab, bab..."
Xiao Fuyuan wanted to say, yes, yes, how can you not be happy when you see the money.
Money can be exchanged for a lot of delicious and fun things.
"This money is for my sister. My sister brought all the money to our family." Bai Zhaomei was brainwashed by her sister's words about bringing good luck to the Bai family. She firmly believed that it was because of her sister's arrival that they had meat to eat and money.
"Your sister is still young, where can you use money?" Zhen said, hugging little Fuyuan.
"Then I will earn more money to spend on my sister in the future." Bai Zhaomei vowed and smiled at her sister.
Okay, okay, Fifth Brother is so good.
Xiao Fuyuan smiled at Bai Zhaomei.
"How much did this cost?" asked Mrs. Bai.
Bai Dazhuang pointed to the silver, then to the cloth bag on the table, and began to report the accounts to his elders.
"Milk, father and mother, half a fan of wild boar was sold for a total of fifteen taels of silver, and a pheasant was sold for four taels of silver. I bought a hundred catties of millet noodles, fifty catties of white flour, fifty catties of corn, ten catties of rapeseed oil... By the way, I also bought fifty kilograms of cotton, pulled two pieces of cloth, and bought five kilograms of fruits for my mother according to my mother's instructions. They are all piled in the kitchen and have not been opened yet. After spending all this, I still have fourteen taels and nineteen left. One hundred and sixty dollars.”
While Bai Dazhuang reported the accounts, Mrs. Bai and Ms. Zhen Baiban kept nodding.
When she heard that she had bought five kilograms of fruit for herself, Mrs. Bai became anxious. How could she be so delicate? How could an old country woman eat fruit with half her neck in the soil?
"For God's sake, I don't like to eat any fruit." Old Mrs. Bai said angrily. Seeing the big man beside her swallowing his saliva, she felt sad for a while, and her tone slowed down and said, "Give it to the children."
The Bai Zhao girls cheered. They had only eaten the fruit from the pastry shop in town once. The soft and sweet taste made them want to put their fingers into their mouths.
When Eugene Gui heard that there were fruits, his eyes lit up, he stroked his belly and said, "I've been craving for fruits these days. It's all because of the girl in my belly."
Old Mrs. Bai glanced at her and said, "I can't do without you."
"Mian Mian plans to give Niang Xu a thick quilt, and the remaining cotton will be used to make new cotton-padded jackets for everyone in the family." Mrs. Zhen smiled at Old Mrs. Bai.
"You don't have to tell me everything. This home is yours too. You've been thoughtful. These children's cotton-padded jackets really need to be replaced." Old Mrs. Bai said, mentioning that her quilt was hard, "I'm half buried. It’s anti-freeze, so you don’t need to give me a thick quilt.”
Mrs. Zhen smiled and nodded, knowing that what Mrs. Bai said was unpleasant, but she was kind-hearted and wanted to leave the cotton to the rest of the family. She listened to what her mother-in-law said, but she had to give the quilt a thick quilt.
Several children cheered again, having fruits to eat and new cotton-padded clothes to wear.
What kind of magical life is this, the life of the village chief's grandson?
Xie Chuntao couldn't help but blush when she saw several children's cotton-padded clothes showing torn cotton wool.
She is not afraid of poverty, the cold, or a hard life, but she just can't bear the suffering of her children.
Old Mrs. Bai looked at the silver on the table and said with a heavy heart: "I made a lot of money on this trip, thanks to that big wild boar, but my luck only goes so far. I can't help but spend the money. Now I can see the money in the new year." You have to save some flowers."
Everyone nodded.
Mrs. Bai poured out the copper plates from the bag and handed them to Zhen together with the silver.
Although Mrs. Bai is in charge of the family, she has always felt that her daughter-in-law should be in charge of money. In the past, the family had no money, but now that the money is available, it should be distributed by Zhen.
Besides, Mrs. Zhen is also a mother-in-law, so she should look up to the younger generation.
What is this called?
It's called respect.
When Mrs. Zhen saw Mrs. Bai handing her the silver, she waved her hand.
It's not that she is lazy, she feels that her mother-in-law has been in charge of the family her whole life, so it is reasonable for her to distribute the money.
It's not like he's a wealthy family, but he still fights for the right to manage the family.
When she arrived at Lao Bai's house, although she was a little poorer and Mrs. Bai was a little bit venomous, the family was having fun and she never felt that life was bad.
"That's okay."
This daughter-in-law is not good at managing the house, so it’s not difficult for her. Let’s start training her granddaughter-in-law in the future.
Mrs. Bai put away the silver ingots, divided the nine hundred and sixty dollars into two and handed them to Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui.
"I'll give you this money. You're both mothers now, so you should have a lot of money in your hands. You can save it as a private house, or buy things for your own house. You can do whatever you want."
Xie Chuntao was surprised and happy, but did not dare to pick it up.
Eugene Gui took it quickly, but felt it was too little.
Old Mrs. Bai glanced at Xie Chuntao, and then Xie Chuntao took it.
Xie Chuntao's eyes were red with excitement, and she was thinking that with the money, she would make a pair of cotton shoes for the man and a pair of cotton trousers for the two sons. And buy some things for her parents. Since she married into Lao Bai's family, she rarely buys gifts for her parents. Her parents understand that her life is difficult and never ask her for anything.
"Thank you for the milk, thank you parents." Xie Chuntao stood up and thanked the elders.
Eugene Gui secretly scolded Xie Chuntao for being short-sighted, what would he do with enough money?
"Milk, can you give me a little more?" Eugene Gui asked the old lady Bai for money.
