However, no one believed him after he said it many times, and he couldn't bear to take off his clothes for everyone to see in order to make his family believe him.
Among everyone present, only Lin Sanzhu knew his son's situation.
After all, it is common for father and son to squeeze into the same guest room when accompanying their son to participate in weight lifting trials, so Lin Sanzhu naturally knows that his dog's meat is hidden.
But he was too lazy to say it. Wouldn't it be nice to make everyone feel sorry for Gouzi? Besides, his Gouzi was indeed working very hard.
It can be said that Lin Sanzhu protects his precious son in his heart.
No, when Lin Sanzhu saw his mother coming over with the money box, he turned around and went to the room to get a small piece of furoshiki. So, at this moment, he was loading silver ingots one by one into the furoshiki.
Also helping with the packing was Mrs. Wu. In addition to leaving more than six taels of broken silver, Mrs. Wu counted out all the 160 taels of silver and prepared for the third child to pack them all into the baggage.
As for Lin Yuanqiu, when everyone's attention was focused on the coins in the box, he quickly scanned everyone in the room.
Not to mention my mother and sisters, the eyes of the three of them were full of full support.
As for the others, Lin Yuanqiu looked over one by one. There were the uncle and second uncle who should be like this, the cousins who should be like this, and the aunt and the others with smiles on their faces.
The cousins and others, each holding the baby in their arms, were chatting and laughing with each other, and their minds were not on the money box here at all.
It can be said that looking around, there is only no resentment or dissatisfaction.
This made Lin Yuanqiu feel very gratified. He felt that no matter what happened in the future, at least the current attitude of his family would make his hard work worthwhile.
Lin Yuanqiu is not a saint, and he will never do such "noble things" as selfless dedication without complaint.
Lin Yuanqiu can be sure that if he sees a family member who is dissatisfied with him today, then his next plan will definitely not be the kind of "bringing the whole family to fight together". After all, how can a group of discordant family members work together to achieve good results? life.
Lin Sanzhu tied the small bundle wrapped with money and put it in front of Lin Yuanqiu.
At this time, Lin Sanzhu, although the pride in his heart was almost overflowing, there was a helpless expression on his face, as if his son was really worried about this family.
Of all the people present, Wu was probably the only one who understood the pride in her third son's heart at this moment. It would be an understatement to say that he was so proud that his tail was only raised to the sky.
Seeing the third child's mouth twisted because he was suppressing a smile, Wu simply couldn't bear to look at it. If she hadn't been some distance away, she would have wanted to kick the bad thing right now.
Mrs. Wu really couldn't figure it out. They said bad bamboos couldn't produce good bamboo shoots, but her little grandson didn't look crooked at all. He was good at reading, sensible and filial. Apart from his appearance, there was nothing else like his father.
Lin Yuanqiu didn't know that his mother was currently wondering why his father's bad bamboo could produce such a good bamboo shoot as his.
At this time, he was ready to tell his family about buying a house in the capital.
"Master, grandma, my grandson bought a house in the capital not long ago."
Bought a house?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Yuanqiu, with surprise and surprise in their eyes.
Surprisingly, Yuanqiu only bought a village and a shop last year. Unexpectedly, only one year later, he bought another house.
As for the reason for the surprise, needless to say, it is of course because they are happy that their family has a house in the capital.
God, this is a house in the capital!
Ms. Feng, who was originally busy with work, could not think about making shoes now. She put the cotton shoes into the basket and walked over quickly, "Yuanqiu, does our new house look good?"
Thinking of the verandahs, pavilions, flower beds and rockeries in the courtyard, Lin Yuanqiu nodded, "It's beautiful, very beautiful."
When I heard it, it was very good-looking. The three sisters-in-law, Feng, Zhou, and Liu, immediately grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears.
What Lao Lintou is most concerned about is the size of the house, "Yuan Qiu, is our new house big?"
"It's big." Lin Yuanqiu replied.
This is a big house with four entrances, it can't be big.
Mrs. Wu couldn't figure out how big it was, but when she thought about the house she lived in now, she couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Qiu, which one is bigger, the new house in Beijing or the one we live in now?" ah?"
Upon hearing Wu's words, everyone couldn't help but nod along. Obviously they also wanted to know how big the new house was.
But before Lin Yuanqiu could answer, Lin Sanzhu took over the conversation, "Mom, houses in the capital are not cheap."
The implication is, mother, you don’t know how much money our family has to give to Yuan Qiu, so why are you asking if your house is big?
Lin Sanzhu also has a basis for saying that houses in the capital are expensive.
When he and Zhou Xing went to the capital last year, they made a special trip to Yahang to inquire about the selling price of the house.
It was only after asking that Lin Sanzhu found out that a small courtyard that sold for more than 100 taels of silver in the county town cost 700 to 800 taels of silver in the capital.
There are three identical main rooms and two identical side rooms.
Moreover, this location is relatively remote. If you want to buy something in a better location, you won’t be able to buy it without a thousand taels of silver. As for a house larger than my own, it would be almost an acre of land. Buying such a house would cost at least two thousand taels of silver.
You must know that this is more than two thousand taels, not two hundred taels. Apart from the more than 500 taels given by the family, there is still a difference of 1,500 and 600 taels. Where can the dog get it?
It is said that no matter how good his dog is at painting, he still can't afford so much money.
Therefore, Lin Sanzhu thinks that the houses in the capital should be small courtyards as soon as you enter, the kind that sell for 7, 800 taels or more than 1,000 taels. In any case, it is impossible to enter a house with more than 2,000 taels.
Seeing Lin Sanzhu's protective look, Lin Yuanqiu was moved. His father was worried that he would be young and energetic and would lose face.
How could Lin Yuanqiu be such a person? Besides, the house he bought was not small.
"Dad, my son bought a house with four courtyards, and he brought his stuff across four courtyards."
What!
Enter the house four times!
Lin Sanzhu stood up from his seat and said in disbelief, "Yuanqiu, you bought a big house with four bedrooms?"
Lin Yuanqiu nodded affirmatively, "Dad, my son bought the Sijin Mansion. He spent a total of 4,600 taels of silver."
Lin Yuanqiu also added in the money spent on repairing the house.
When I heard four thousand six hundred taels, no one was sitting in the room except Lin Yuanqiu.
Lin Erzhu's voice was trembling, "Child... mother, please... pinch me quickly, don't just dream about it."
Mrs. Liu was also afraid that she was in a dream, so she picked up the child's father without holding back at all, and the west room soon heard howls like a slaughtering pig.
With Lin Erzhu's "reminder that it was not a dream", everyone became even more excited, because this was not a dream!
Seeing the happy faces of his family members, Lin Yuanqiu explained in more detail, for example, the entire four-in-one mansion has more than 140 large and small rooms, which is definitely more than enough to accommodate our family. For example, the eldest brother, second brother, third brother and fourth brother can all live in separate cross-yards. For another example, there is a separate large garden in the back room. We can plant some seasonal vegetables and other things in it in the future.
As expected, everyone in the room was excited.
Looking at Lin Yuanbai again, he stuffed little Mo Jun, who was still babbling, into his wife's arms, and ran out quickly.
Just when everyone was wondering what they were doing out in the snow, Lin Yuanbai quickly ran back. He was holding an inkstone and ink sticks in one hand, and a pen and paper in the other.
Lin Yuanbai shook the snowflakes on his head, and then spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Lin Yuanqiu, "Fifth brother, look, just listening to this is too unsatisfactory, why don't you draw our big house now?" chant!"
Yes, you can draw it, so you can immediately know what the director of the big house in the capital looks like.
Now, everyone in the room, except for a few little ones who were still nestling in their mother's arms, praised the good idea.
Lin Yuanhuai patted Lin Yuanbai on the shoulder, "The fourth brother is still smart."
"That's right, don't look at who I am." Lin Yuanbai was a little proud.
When Lin Yuanfeng looked at the white paper in front of his fifth brother, which was not much bigger than a palm, he quickly remembered the pile of paper he had just bought.
So he said, "Fifth brother, you can draw again later. Brother, go get a larger piece of paper."
After that, he hurried to his room.
I thought that when Lin Yuanfeng said "bigger", it meant that it was really bigger. But when he came over again, everyone was stunned by the large rolled paper tube in his hand.
This is too big. This kind of paper cannot be placed on a single Eight Immortals table.
Sure enough, when Lin Yuanfeng opened the paper tube on the table, he found that it was only enough to spread out half, and the other half was still hanging on the edge of the table.
Seeing this, Lin Yuansong acted quickly and quickly moved a table from the next door hall, so that when the two Eight Immortal tables were combined, a six-foot-long table could be placed.
Lin Yuanfeng smiled and said, "Fortunately it hasn't been cut yet."
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to find such a large piece of paper today.
Then Lin Yuanbai scooped out water, and Lin Yuanhuai polished ink, and soon the painting stall was set up in the big house.
Although this was Lin Yuanqiu's first time painting on such large-sized paper, it did not affect his performance at all.
Lin Yuanqiu first recalled in his mind the structure of the courtyard and the proportions between the several courtyards. However, when he picked up the pen to polish it and was about to put it on the paper, he suddenly remembered that, by the way, he still had paints in his bookcase.
So Lin Yuanqiu walked to the bookcase in a few steps, opened it, and took out various paints.
Paint alone is not enough without a palette. When Lin Yuanqiu leaned over to take out his commonly used multi-grid porcelain plate from the bookcase, he realized belatedly that he had left it in the Imperial College dormitory and forgot to bring it back. .
Mrs. Zhou, however, understood it and thought, "Isn't it just a porcelain plate holding paint? What a big deal, you see what I say." After that, Mrs. Zhou walked out quickly.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Feng were worthy of being good sisters-in-law who had worked with Ms. Zhou all the year round. They immediately understood their sister-in-law's idea, so they quickly chased after her.
Seeing her three daughters-in-law being extremely excited, Mrs. Wu always felt that something was not right.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw the three sisters-in-law coming over with a stack of rice bowls each.
"Yuanqiu, my aunt brought a total of sixteen, is that enough?"
Mrs. Zhou's face was full of smiles, as if she was in the distant autumn, and she looked like she was smart or clever.
Liu and Feng, who were following closely behind, also felt that their brains were quite useful.
Mrs. Wu looked at the three silly daughter-in-laws who only grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears, and said to herself, this is the rice bowl. Do you understand the rice bowl? If it weren't for the presence of several granddaughter-in-laws, I would have waved a broomstick over.
I have to say that the one who understands me is my son.
Seeing that his mother was about to ask his sister-in-law and the others to take the rice bowl back, Lin Sanzhu moved quickly. After taking the rice bowl from Feng's hand, he lined it up on the table, and then scooped the paints in the box into the rice bowls. With a spoonful in the bowl, even if Wu wanted to take the bowl back, it was too late.
Wu gritted her teeth and prepared that from now on these bowls would be reserved for the bastards to eat.
In order to see more clearly, everyone took the oil lamps from their rooms.
More than a dozen lights were lit at the same time, illuminating the entire west room.
Everything was ready, and naturally the next step was Lin Yuanqiu's favorite splashing of ink.
After seeing the eaves, walls, pavilions and flower pavilions constantly being drawn with the pen in his grandson's hand, Old Lintou, like everyone else in the room, could not help praising him, but also finally believed that Yuan Qiu did have a good song. The painting ability has improved.
That's why I earned so much money to buy a house.
Compared with ink landscapes, residential paintings are much simpler. After Lin Yuanqiu filled every corner of the courtyard with imaginary spring scenery, a spring-filled courtyard painting was finally completed.
Just now, they were afraid of disturbing Lin Yuanqiu while he was painting, so no one dared to say anything except praise. Now that the house map had been drawn, everyone no longer had any worries, and they all couldn't wait to find their own place to live.
