Chapter 44: Concealing

Wu Youcai's purse is very exquisite. It is inlaid with gold and silver threads and has exquisite patterns. If it were sold, it could be sold for two taels of silver.

Huo Xi glanced back and forth, then poured the contents out.

The gold beans and silver beans fell out first. There were five gold beans of one tael. There were eight broken silver beans of one tael. There were five silver notes of one hundred taels.

"Wow, is this gold? I haven't seen gold yet!"

Yang Fu took a golden bean and turned it over and over in his hand, his eyes widening. He was very surprised that he was lucky enough to touch gold!

"Then give these golden beans to uncle."

Yang Fu's hand burned and he threw it back: "No, Xi'er, you keep it."

Seeing that he really didn't want them, Huo Xi put them into her purse again: "Then I'll keep them first. If uncle wants to buy anything, just tell me."

Yang Fu nodded happily: "Yeah." He looked at the pieces of paper again, "Xi'er, is this the bank note?"

"Yeah." Huo Xi nodded and taught him how to read the banknote and the words on it.

These days Yang Fu has recognized some characters, but it will take some time before he can recognize the characters on the banknotes.

I am really lucky today. I can touch gold and see silver notes again. I never dared to think about it before. Yang Fu had a smile on his face.

"Uncle, can I hide what happened today from my parents?"

It's not that she can't talk about it, but she doesn't know where to start. She went to steal Wu Youcai's wallet because she was afraid that they wouldn't like it. She was also afraid that Yang and Huo Erhuai would be exposed. She hoped that they would be well.

Yang Fu nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything. I'm too tight-lipped."

"Thank you, uncle. Uncle, you are so kind."

Yang Fu scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He would definitely not tell his sister and brother-in-law, not even in his dreams.

"Uncle, let's go shopping."

"Okay." Yang Fu responded and pulled her up.

The two of them bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, charcoal, clay ovens, grill pans, porcelain jars, rice wine, condiments, wooden bowls, basins, wooden plates, spoons and chopsticks, hemp rope, oilcloth and felt, windproof mast lamps, tung oil, and candles.



The two of them bought two baskets and a bamboo basket to carry and carry.

Panting, I returned to the ferry in the outer city.

So tired.

Mu Li escorted them back to the ferry safely. He felt heartbroken when he saw Huo Xi paralyzed on the shore. He was still a child under seven years old, and the Zhang family simply didn't behave well.

He shook his head and left with a sigh.

Mu Yan listened to Mu Li's report with a gloomy expression.

These days, he has inquired about the situation of Zhang's family and Wu's maiden family. Relying on their close relationship with Zhang Fu's mother, Wu climbed into Zhang Fu's bed during their wedding. The concubine she gave birth to was only a concubine.

One month younger than that little liar.

The Wu family was just a poor settlement, and they used to rely on the Zhang family to fight the autumn wind. Now that the Wu family has been rehabilitated, the family has followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. Even the Wu family's father has been hired as a sixth-grade idle official. The family has changed its appearance and has become an official family.

Tsk tsk.

"Sir, I found out that the Jinxiufang is the dowry of Mrs. Zhang's mother." Mu Li said.

The corner of Mu Yan's mouth curled up into a sneer.

"That Zhang Fu, Zhang Wenbi, fought well, but his interior was in a mess. He didn't even protect his deceased wife's dowry. No wonder he aroused such hatred from the little liar and risked his life to beat up Wu Youcai."

"Master, if I see him next time, I will also help Mrs. Zhang beat him!" Mu Kan was very angry and felt sorry for Huo Xi. He felt that the beating he gave Wu Youcai today was too light.

Mu Yan raised his eyelids and said nothing.

But Mu Kan knew that the young master acquiesced. Humph, Wu Youcai, you'd better bring more servants with you when you go out on the street, or else I'll beat you every time I see you!

Before sunset, Huo Erhuai rowed the boat to pick up his uncle and nephew.

Together with Ms. Yang, I helped move things onto the boat. When I saw the two children slumped on the boat after getting on the boat, they were obviously very tired and distressed.

"Why buy so much? You are still young, how can you carry it? Next time, let your father and brother-in-law carry it." Yang asked Huo Xi to lie down and rubbed her body distressedly.

Yang Fu also leaned over: "Sister, I want it too."

"The skin is rough and the flesh is thick. Just rest for a while." Although he said this, he still kneaded it for Huo Xi and then also kneaded it for Yang Fu.

Huo Xi lay flat on his back and sighed in comfort, it would be better to be on his own boat.

"Mom, where is Nian'er?"

"Asleep."

"Mom, did you buy any cloth today? What did you buy?"

"I bought it. I bought a lot. Your grandma Zhao took me from house to house in the village to collect linen cloth. This time, my mother almost bought all the kudzu. I only bought five pieces of coarse and fine linen, and only bought cotton and linen.

I bought three. Kudzu is still easier to sell."

"I also harvested a lot of vegetables with Grandma Zhao in the village. Everyone is happy to be able to sell them for money without having to go to the city. From now on, if the sales are good, my mother will go to collect vegetables every day. As for Qianjin Village, there are more than 300 vegetables.

Almost every household has a loom."

Huo Xi nodded while listening: "Aunt Zhao, are you willing to take the embroidery job?"

"Why don't you want to? We don't want any fancy designs. We just embroider the characters 'Huoji Water Grocery Store' and add some embroidery on the corners, and you can get one or two silver coins. Your Aunt Zhao is very happy that we give her a living."

Well, he said he could pick it up the day after tomorrow."

"That's good."

"Your grandma Zhao heard that we were going to open a floating grocery store. She was very enthusiastic and took her to the village and neighboring villages to find wine and vinegar. The people who made baskets and dustpans bought a lot of things. They also gave us a lot of onions and garlic.

."

Ms. Yang felt very emotional when she met an enthusiastic family.

"But for that salted pork and salted duck, Mom has not thought about it. My mother can make salted pork and salted duck with duck-style chicken. Then we only need to collect the clean meat in the village and take it back to the boat to cook it ourselves. We can also save a fortune

Money. And we can hang it on the boat to dry, so we can look at it at any time, so it’s very convenient.”

Huo Xi smiled as he listened to Yang's careful accounting.

Ms. Yang is a good director of the family. With her in charge, the family will get better and better.

Mrs. Yang told Huo Xi everything about today. Now that she and Huo Erhuai have something to do, she also likes to listen to Xi'er's opinion. Although the child is young, he has ideas, is more knowledgeable than them, and is knowledgeable.

Words, they are willing to discuss anything with her.

Huo Xiyuan responded with a few words from time to time, but gradually fell silent.

While Mrs. Yang was packing her things, her subordinates paused and glanced at her. Seeing that she was asleep, they quickly took a quilt and covered her gently. Looking again, they saw that Yang Fu had also fallen asleep.

Suddenly I glanced at my uncle and nephew with some distress. I didn't know what I had done today. I was so tired.

Huo Xi slept until Yang made dinner, and slept until Huo Erhuai rocked the boat back to Taoye Ferry.

"Yang Fu, Yang Fu, I'll come over and sleep with you tonight!"

As soon as Qian Xiaoxia's voice sounded, Yang Fu hurriedly sat up from his sleep. After hearing it clearly, he was so angry that he wanted to cover his head and continue sleeping, pretending that he couldn't hear it.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoxia had already jumped on the Huo family's boat and entered Yang Fu's cabin.

Yang Fu was just about to tell him to keep his voice down, fearing that he would disturb Huo Xi, but unexpectedly he saw that Huo Xi had already woken up.
