After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"Hehehehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's not that hard!" I don't know why Gouwei felt his eyes getting wet as he said this.

After washing up, I returned to the kang and didn't feel crowded at all. Uncle Fang, Uncle Chuizi and Tiezi were sleeping on Lin Xiaoniu's kang tonight, and Gouwei was still squeezed together with the little ones in the family.

Although we have a new room now, we still have to heat the kang every day in winter, so it would be better to use less firewood.

After crawling into bed, Gou Maoer blinked his sleepy eyes and asked, "Is Second Brother going to the county town tomorrow?"

"Well, tomorrow my elder brother, my uncle and maybe my dad will go together." Guangdan rolled around in the bed, then said with enjoyment while squinting his eyes.

"I want to go too. Second brother, why don't you talk to grandfather and ask him to take me with you." Goumao stared at Guangdan pitifully with his big black eyes.

"Grandpa will definitely not let you. It's too cold and there's snow on the road. Be good and stay at home. I'll go over and take a look and be back soon." Guangdan coaxed the little guy patiently.

After all, the little guy hasn't seen his parents for a long time. After all, he is still a little baby, so it is normal for him to want to go to the county town. However, it is not safe in this weather as it may snow heavily at any time.

At this time, it was quite lively next door to Guangdan and the others. Mrs. Wu was sleeping on the kang next to Erya tonight. Only Erya, Taohua and Yaya were sleeping on this kang. The youngest Yaya was sleeping with her grandmother, so this side was quite spacious.

Tonight, with the addition of Granny Wu and her three grandchildren, the room suddenly became crowded.

Fortunately, Grandma Wu’s eldest granddaughter Honghong and Yaya are of similar age. The two little ones have already become familiar with each other, and at night the two sisters sleep soundly in the same small quilt.

Erya and Taohua are quite old after all, and are somewhat reserved. But with Yaya, the little loudspeaker, around, the room is still lively and bustling.

The next morning, Guangdan was woken up very early again. He stared at the dark room with a pair of confused eyes, reached out to touch the empty bed beside him, and then he realized that his elder brother had already got up.

Guangdan tried to get up, but the kang sealed him up and he couldn't pull himself out, so he was stuck in the kang.

I fell asleep again in a daze.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside. He and Goumao were the only ones left on the kang. Guangdan, with mischievous intentions, crawled over wrapped in a quilt and stroked Goumao's little head a few times, then let go and got up with satisfaction.

As soon as I opened the door, I was hit by a gust of cold air. It was as if someone had taken off my pants in the cold wind in an instant!

My heart is cold and my heart is flying!

"Hey! It's even colder today!!!" He muttered all the way to the main room.

At this time, the charcoal fire had been lit in the main room. Lin Xiaoniu, Uncle Fang and a few others were sitting around a square table with account books in their hands. There were papers and pens on the table, and they were concentrating on calculating the expenses so far.

Lin Xiaoniu is in charge of the accounts for the purchases, Uncle Fang is in charge of the accounts for the sales in the city, and Uncle Chui is in charge of the accounts for food, drink and accommodation on the way back and forth.

There are three people with three sets of accounts, and they are now calculating them with their heads together.

Guangdan quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then took out his own small account book.

Apart from Mrs. Wu, her three grandchildren, Tiezi, and the mule, he wrote down all the other expenses.

In the past, when his family was poor, he gave money to improve their lives. There was nothing he could do about it. But now it’s different. The family is no longer short of money, so there is naturally no need for him to always spend money, right?

In the end, Guangdan and Fang Cuihua settled the money of Mrs. Wu and her family. The money was paid by Guangdan, and Fang Cuihua also gave the indenture to Guangdan.

So these masters are actually penniless.

Next is the mule, which was Guangdan’s own means of transportation that he had prepared a long time ago, so it was natural for him to pay for it himself.

When he stood beside the table with the booklet in his hand, the booklet disappeared before he could even stand firmly.

Good guy!

Turning around, I saw my old father Lin Daniu staring with his big eyes and trying hard to recognize the words on the account book.

"Dad, let's go talk over there." Guangdan was worried that he and Lin Daniu's random chatter would disturb Uncle Fang and the others from settling accounts, so he simply tugged at Lin Daniu's sleeve and said.

Lin Daniu looked at Guangdan suspiciously, then glared at him before taking Guangdan to sit down in the corner of the main room.

"Dad, look what these are?" Guangdan pointed at the page with the word "seed" on it in the account book with a smiling face.

"Seed?" Lin Erniu squinted his eyes and read it, and then he couldn't recognize many of the words below.

Although he had gone to a private school when he was young, he was not a good student. He could not recognize many big characters and he had not come into contact with a single character in all these years.

So at this moment, even if those words recognized him, he would not recognize them.

"These are herb seeds. These are rare seeds I found in the city. It is said that some came from the south and some from the west. These are chili seeds. Let's plant chili next year and make chili pickles."

Guangdan finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Lin Daniu with sparkling eyes, as if to ask him to praise me.

"Well, you bought quite a lot." But Lin Daniu was very stingy with his praise and still had a stern face.

"All these will be handed over to Dad in due time. Grandpa said that we need to buy some land in the spring, so you will be busy then." Guangdan said while glancing at Lin Daniu cautiously.

Sure enough, when the topic of buying land was mentioned, the corners of Lin Daniu's mouth began to rise, but were quickly lowered again.

"Well, what's the point of buying land? There are still several people in the family. We can't farm more land." Lin Daniu said sourly when he thought that the second brother and his wife were not at home, and Xiao Niu would probably not be at home in the future.

"Look at what you said, Dad. We have cows and mules at home. Isn't that like having several laborers? Besides, if we are really too busy, we can just spend some money to hire someone else!"

Guangdan's words made Lin Daniu's eyes widen again, and he said something after a long time.

"What are you talking about hiring people? Wouldn't that make us rich landlords?" He said while shaking his hands.

If he had seen the upturned corners of his mouth, Guangdan would have thought he was really refusing!

Lin Daniu is a very conflicted person. On the one hand, he is jealous that the second and third sons may not be able to stay home in the future, but on the other hand, he feels that the Linjia Village cannot survive without him.

In fact, Fang Cuihua had already told him last night that the old man was going to buy land, and also vaguely mentioned that the old man felt that the matter in the capital city was done well and it gave her some benefits.

Then she generously gave five taels of silver to Lin Daniu. Yes, Fang Cuihua, who had a huge sum of money, generously gave five taels of silver to Lin Daniu!

In fact, Fang Cuihua and Guangdan both knew that if there was a choice, the old man would hope that the person was Lin Daniu instead of Fang Cuihua, but things had already happened and it was Fang Cuihua who found the money, so there was no room for choice.

Money can move people's hearts. Not to mention a thousand taels of silver, even a hundred taels of silver can break a family apart.

Fortunately, there was a single person involved in this matter, which is why the old man chose to let it go.

Because the old man himself knows that he is actually old, and as long as his eldest daughter-in-law doesn't go too far in her thoughts, he doesn't really want to take care of her. He won't be able to manage the family for many more years.
