The county magistrate was appreciated by Shangfeng with his waterwheel 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 do what he does?"
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 each 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, it's 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."
As soon as he heard what was under the bed, Erlang shook his head: "No, no, no, no! It's empty under the bed. I can see it at a glance when I 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 money 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 Kua Kua group leader is active again!
"Sister-in-law, when will the market in the next town open?" Erlang suddenly asked.
Xu Yin thought for a moment: "In three more days, right? What's wrong? 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 pawned.
"Erlang is interested. But the hairpin is 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 pawn them, you can pawn 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..."
"It's all the same." Xu Yin patted his shoulder comfortingly, "We have money now, Erlang and Third Sister, what do you want most? My sister-in-law will buy it for you."
Erlang was still in his own mood, sobbing and refusing to speak.
The third sister blinked her cute big eyes and said in a waxy voice: "Sister-in-law, can the third sister buy some needlework?"
"Third sister wants 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?"
The third sister 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 had indeed started to use embroidery needles at the age of four. After practicing for three or four years, she could embroider some simple patterns, and she could exchange them for a few pennies at the embroidery shop. He also said that if Sanmei is willing to learn, she can teach her.
"The girl's family has good embroidery skills. It will be convenient for her to marry her when she is old. When she is married, she will do some embroidery work to supplement the family income. Her husband's family will not like her."
When Xu Yin heard what Lihua Niang said, she 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 when she is 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 others to marry her husband’s family in the future.
Furthermore, modern children have been learning to draw, dance, and play the piano since kindergarten. Now that they don’t have this condition, it’s not a bad idea to take embroidery as a hobby.
In addition, Sanmei has little interest in literacy endorsement.
In the first few days, I could still sit upright and learn a few things. Once the excitement 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 was done well, but he just didn't want to sit down and read and recite.
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.
Xu Yin didn't need to remind her the next day, the little girl just 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 future generations of parents have to stop and look around and take photos every time they send their first-grade children to register for school.
She now feels like an old mother sending her children to school.
"Brother Hero! Brother Hero!"
Xu Yin looked back and saw that it was Shi Feng. He had come to deliver firewood to her home again.
They have said many times not to give away anymore, but a few of them, saying "good, good, good", still insist on giving away every day.
"How are your parents doing lately?"
"Okay, after drinking the herbal medicine you asked Erlang to send, I haven't had a cough in the past few days to cool down."
"As you get older, your resistance is weaker, so remember to put on more clothes in the morning and evening. Also, herbs are not a panacea. When the season changes, drink some to prevent colds. The key is to rely on your daily routine..."
Xu Yin gave 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. In ancient times, I could be considered half a theoretical expert.
Shi Feng nodded while listening. 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 town to sell firewood this morning."
"Brother Feng! Brother hero! Something bad is going on!"
At this time, Shi Fengnian ran over breathlessly, "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."
