After seeing off her two younger brothers, Daya was not in a hurry to clean up the kitchen. Instead, she sat in the yard for a long time, thinking that if her mother's family bought a cow, she would definitely bring Erlangzi back as a gift.

Now the family's land is enough to feed the couple. Erlangzi actually earns a little more than others by doing odd jobs behind his brother. Her main task now is to take good care of her health and then make money to support the baby.

Now my father and uncle from my mother's side often come over to help. In fact, the focus is not on helping with the work in the fields, but on the fact that my mother's family members visit frequently, so the woman in the old house has to think twice if she wants to control me.

Thinking of the beautiful curve on Daya’s lips, I feel that there is still hope for this day.

After the two brothers left the village with their baskets on their backs, Gouwei couldn't help but say, "Guangdan, the elder sister looks much better."

"Well, we feel relieved as long as big sister is doing well. Big sister is still young and as long as she gets enough nutrition, her body will recover quickly." Guangdan chewed the wild grass he picked up from the roadside and hummed a tune in response.

But I was thinking about building a house at home. Nowadays, the only materials used to build houses are bricks and wood, so a carpenter is indispensable.

It was already mid-afternoon when the two arrived at the town again. The sun was gradually setting and the occasional sound of mule and ox carts could be heard on the street. It was so quiet that it didn't feel like a town.

The two brothers followed the address given by Daya and arrived at the yard of a wealthy family on the east side of the town.

"Let's go through the side door." Gouwei pulled Guangdan in time, and the two of them looked at the lavish crimson gate and the two grinning stone lions at the door for several times.

"Oh oh." Guangdan nodded obediently.

When small people like them come to a house, they are indeed not allowed to enter through the main door. Rich families still pay attention to these things.

Guangdan always thought that this little place was poor, but after entering through the door on the east side of this house, he felt that he was still very ignorant.

Let’s put it this way, no matter where you are, a rich family is a rich family. There are pavilions, rockery, running water and red carp in the yard.

Led by the servants, the two brothers came to a house in a corner of the side yard.

"It's right here, take it easy." The servant said with a slight smile, turned around and left, with no intention of going in.

Guangdan listened to the various noisy noises in the room, then handed the small basket on his body to his eldest brother.

"I'll go in and call my brother-in-law out." After saying that, he turned around and went into the house, without any shyness of visiting a wealthy family's home for the first time.

Gouwei took out the stoneware basin and held it in his hand, ready to give it directly to his brother-in-law and leave. It was getting late, and if it got dark any later, his family would get worried.

A moment later, Guangdan came out with a lame young man, who was Fang Erlangzi.

"You went to see your eldest sister today, right? Oh, why did you send this to me? No, no, take it back and eat it, and let your parents have a try!" Fang Erlangzi looked at the pancakes in the coarse earthenware bowl and waved his hands, saying a bunch of words to himself.

"We've eaten at your house. Your eldest sister asked us to take a detour and bring it to you. She said that you should take it to your eldest brother's house after work in the evening and let your nephews and nieces try it." Guangdan said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great. Why don't you wait for a moment? I'll go buy you a pot of wine to take back." As he said that, he wiped his face with the towel on his shoulder, squeezed the purse on his waist, and prepared to go out.

"No, no, brother-in-law, go and do your work. We have to go back before dark. If we are any later, our parents will be worried."

Then Gouwei and Fang Erlangzi pulled each other for a while before they walked out of the big yard.

Fang Erlangzi sent his two brothers-in-law out the door in a daze, then touched his head, thinking carefully whether there was some important day today that he had neglected.

After leaving the town, Guangdan couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law is quite talkative."

It's not his fault that he said that. In his impression, this brother-in-law is a man of few words, not cheerful in temperament, and always has a sad look on his face.

Gouwei grinned and said, "My brother-in-law's temperament has changed a lot since the division of the family. I'm afraid he was oppressed too much before. Now it seems that the division of the family is too good."

"That's true."

The two brothers chatted casually and returned to Linjia Village. When they arrived in front of their own yard, everything was quiet. The two brothers looked at each other, and they knew in their hearts that they didn't buy the cow today.

"Big brother, second brother~~~" The kid Goutou had been waiting at the door from a long distance away. When he saw the people coming back, he shouted at the top of his voice and moved his short legs to greet them.

Even Goudan was craning his neck to look in the yard, and Ah He was walking slowly towards them.

Just when Goutou was about to throw Guangdan down on his butt, Erya's voice was heard in the yard.

"Why do you buy so many things?"

Next came the joyful time of distributing gifts. Guangdan felt that there had never been a more popular time than at this moment.

After sending the little fellow away, Guangdan found his uncle in the backyard and asked quietly, "Uncle, are there no calves in town?"

"No, just two old cows, the price is not low, your father and I think it's not worth it. Your grandfather said he would go to the county town the day after tomorrow to have a look."

Lin Xiaoniu did not forget what he was doing while speaking. Yes, he was taking care of the pigpen and sheeppen at the moment.

These farm manures are the most needed in the fields. Lin Xiaoniu is cleaning them here, while Lin Daniu and Lin Erniu are carrying manure buckets to the fields.

Before Guangdan could say a few more words, the cursing voice of Grandma Lin came from the front.

"Oh my, this little spendthrift! Why did he buy fine white flour? Is this what people like us eat? Cuihua, put it away quickly and save it for the New Year!"

The little old lady felt pain all over her heart, liver and lungs at this moment. How could she be so wasteful!

Guangdan pricked up his ears to listen for a while, then turned to Lin Xiaoniu and whispered: "I bought some high-quality white flour and asked Second Aunt to make meat buns for us! Use minced meat and tofu as the filling, it's almost the same as the big meat buns in town!"

"Great! What about the thing about our county?" Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xiaoniu eagerly asked Guangdan about his money-making plan.

"Have you gotten to know the county well?"

"It's about 60% to 70% rare, which is about right. Besides, I'm also familiar with a few people from the village who work as waiters in the county town." Lin Xiaoniu said as he raised his head with some pride.

"As expected of you, my uncle!" Guangdan gave a thumbs up and whispered, "It's still early now. Let's wait until the weather is cooler and rent a house in the county town. It seems that we can have a new plan now."

After saying that, he winked. Although Lin Xiaoniu didn't quite understand, he knew that Guangdan must have a new idea, so his eyes brightened up again.
