The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

In the main hall of the Lin family, cooled tea has been placed on the square table.

As soon as the children entered the house, they swarmed to the table to grab some tea to drink. Jin Duobao didn't get a cup, so he got anxious and ran to the kitchen to get a ladle, and started pouring tea into the cup directly.

It was a hot day and I was sweating all over. I was very thirsty, but I didn't have any thoughts about giving way to others. I just drank first to show my respect.

Bai Xiangren was too short to get the water, and when she stamped her feet in anger, a bamboo tube was handed to her. The boy who handed her the water winked at her, holding back his laughter and shaking the bamboo tube, "Here it is, I've prepared it for you."

"Thank you, Brother Changqing! I'll give you two pieces of chestnut cake later!" Bai Xiang snuggled up to the young man's feet, drinking the tea with bamboo fragrance, his black eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

Adults are no longer surprised by this scene.

Among the group of half-grown children, Yan Changqing is the calmest and most sensible one, and he also loves Baixiang the most.

There's nothing wrong in having one more person to love your child.

Lin Dashan carried the old general into the main room and helped him sit down carefully on the recliner. Old Man Lin had already handed him the tea from another recliner.

Li Sulan sat on a high chair on the other side, patiently teaching the silver-haired old woman next to her how to play with the bracelet. Her bulging belly was very eye-catching.

Near the entrance to the main hall, Mrs. Lin and Zhang Cui'e were cutting cloth and making samples, making diapers and small clothes for the unborn baby in advance.

"As soon as my sister-in-law got pregnant, she entrusted us with two children. This blessing is unstoppable. I was wondering why my sister-in-law's belly was so big. If Doctor Yu hadn't said that, how could we have expected that she was pregnant with twin yolks?" Zhang Cui'e is straightforward and says whatever comes to her mind. "The two kids are so smart. They chose this time to come. If they were born two years or one year earlier, our family really wouldn't be able to afford cloth. By then, the two kids would be crawling around with their bare butts, hahaha."

Thinking of that scene, she laughed out loud with joy.

Mrs. Lin glared at her, and as she imagined the scene in her mind, she also laughed, "If you really want to give birth to a baby early, it will be really tough. But you don't have to be naked. Take out the old clothes at home and get some cloth from other places in the village. At least you can make a few small clothes for the baby and sew a few crotchless pants. When the baby is older, he can wear a butt curtain outside his pants. It can be used for three or two years."

"Raising a child costs money! I have it, I have it! I'll give you money to buy cloth! I have it!" Old Madam Xiao actually listened and understood this time. She straightened up from her stool and fumbled around in her waist and sleeve pockets. After a moment, she was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. "I don't have it?"

"..." Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha!"

The old woman blushed at the laughter, and her eyes caught the old man who was wiping tears with laughter. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at him and said loudly, "I don't have it, but my grandfather does! My grandfather has it!"

General Xiao's smile froze, "..."

He was so busy laughing that he forgot he had no money either.

Yu Heng, that fool, only sent the other person over without bringing his purse, and he didn't even take his private seal that could be used to withdraw tickets from the silver shop.

This time, he couldn't save his wife's face.

Fortunately, the old general has been through many battles, and the situation now is really a small one.

He regained his composure in an instant, leaned closer to the little prince, and said, "Young Master, it is inconvenient to be away from home. Please give me some money, and I will take it as my salary from you."

Yan Changqing's eyes were still crescent-shaped, and he laughed breathlessly, "Okay."

The old general suddenly gained confidence, turned to his old wife who was looking at him eagerly, and said in a heroic tone, "Yes, your grandfather has it, and I will give it to you later!"

Seeing his wife's smile again, the old general smiled too, but tears were welling up in his eyes.

The bitterness and guilt that weighed heavily on my heart were finally dispelled by the warmth at this moment.

As long as his wife can always be so happy, he is willing to spend any amount of money.

Even if everything else is put aside, he is willing to treat the child named Sulan well.

Even though he knew that the other party was not his daughter, for no reason, as long as the child opened her mouth, he seemed to be willing to offer anything.

Willing to give anything.

The reason is unexplainable.

It was just a joke, so the Lin family naturally wouldn't take the old general's money.

The family is not short of money now. The dividends from the workshop alone have accumulated several thousand taels in a few months.

But the family is used to being frugal and can't afford to hire servants to serve them. Everyone in the family is hardworking and can finish any work in a few seconds. There is really no need to buy a few people to live together.

The most important point is that once I did that, I always felt like I had drawn a line between myself and the village, and it was difficult to be as comfortable as before.

Maybe they are just from a small family and cannot live the life of a wealthy family.

So what?

Money can’t buy my freedom.

However, it is necessary to expand this small courtyard at home.

Before going to bed at night, Mrs. Lin took out the small wooden box where she kept the banknotes and counted the banknotes inside.

Old Man Lin glanced into the small wooden box and saw a thick stack of large-denomination silver bills, several large pieces of silver, and some small silver and copper coins.

"My dear, what are you doing? Why are you counting money for no reason?" After opening the bedding, Old Man Lin lay on the bed, fanning his wife with a palm-leaf fan.

Mrs. Lin clicked her tongue and glared at him, "Why are you talking to me all of a sudden? I forgot how many times I counted! You're in the way, don't talk!"

“……”Okay, I don’t dare to speak.

He stopped talking, but the old woman explained to him, "Sulan is going to give birth in three months or so. Doctor Yu said she is carrying two babies in her belly, so she may have to give birth earlier. There are more and more people in the family, Song'er and Bai'er are about to turn seven, so it's not appropriate for them to live in the same room with their parents. Baixiang needs his own room when he grows up. The three rooms in the left room are already full with the three siblings, so shouldn't we prepare a place for the other two little ones to live in in advance?"

This is just the present. We have two daughters-in-law. If we have more children in the future, there will be even less space. And Jiang'er, he is not married yet. After he gets married, he will have children.

So I want to build two more rooms at the back of the house. For us farmers, fields and houses are the most important assets. If we have money, we can either buy land or build houses.

What do you think? The house has to be built regardless of the consequences."

"…"Then why are you asking me?

After a long time without hearing a response, Mrs. Lin looked up in confusion, "I'm asking you a question, why don't you at least say something."

"…Can I speak now?"

Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth, snatched the palm-leaf fan from the old man and hit him on the forehead.

What a bad behavior.

The old man cried out in pain so loudly that people in the other rooms all heard it.

Li Sulan's belly was too big for her to sleep lying flat on her back. Her belly felt so heavy that she had to turn over and lie on her side from time to time, so she couldn't sleep soundly.

Hearing the noise over there, she immediately reached out and patted her husband, "Dashan, what is Dad doing over there? Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Lin Dashan didn't even open his eyelids, and laughed, "No need, Dad and Mom are just playing tricks, go to sleep."

Bai Xiang slept on the inside, his eyes were still closed. "Grandma didn't let Grandpa talk. When Grandma asked him questions, Grandpa didn't dare to answer. When Grandma got angry, she beat Grandpa."

Li Sulan, “…”Puff!

"My daughter, close your ears and go to sleep. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."

"I got it, Dad!"

Soon in the darkness, the sound of the baby and the woman snoring could be heard. Lin Dashan then opened his eyes, his eyes clear and not sleepy at all.

The six members of the Li family were still not satisfied after suffering a loss at the workshop gate last time, so they went to the town to perform a big show.

The old doctor asked someone to bring him a message during the day, telling him that he had to go to the town at dawn to see what the family was doing.
