Chapter 438: The Moving Mountain of Gold
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Lin Wei and the others packed up their new residence and made the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On Chinese New Year's Eve, you need to wash your hair and feet, which means washing away bad luck. The city people are very good to complete, just go directly to the bathhouse, wash clean and steaming.
And in the country, bathing is a luxury. Water is used casually, but firewood is too expensive. A large pot of water is usually enough for one person to wash, and for fear of getting cold, you have to pour hot water into the basin while washing.
By the time one person washes it, the basin of water is too cold to use. For another person, you need to boil a large pot of water again. I am so cautious, and I often have a cold and fever.
A cold and fever were considered nothing in later generations, but in this era, when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and life was tight, no one wanted to spend money to suffer because of a bath. Over time, most of the winters are only once a month.
She originally thought that she would get up early before Chinese New Year's Eve, finish everything by noon as much as possible, and then lead her family to the city to take a bath.
As a result, when this happened, the busy feet at home did not touch the ground, where did they have time to go to the city to take a bath?
I had to leave it alone.
Fortunately, my parents and Guo'er took a simple bath at home after the 23rd day of the lunar month, so that they would not be so sloppy to celebrate the New Year.
She and Sister Sun had already washed it before they came back, and now it is nothing to wash their faces and feet, and then wash their hair.
There was hot water boiling on the coal stove at home, Lin Wei asked Sun Fang to wash it first, and he went to his parents' house.
Lin Zhiyuan and Cheng Man were washing their feet, and there was a thermos next to them, and they poured some hot water into it after a short time.
Lin Zhiyuan finished washing first, and was holding a pair of scissors, scraping the calluses on his feet, his rough fingers and some thick calluses on his toes, which inexplicably made people's eyes hot.
"Dad, Mom. ”
Lin Wei took a deep breath and came in with a smile, "Are you still washing your feet?"
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box and handed it to Cheng Man, "This is the jade pendant I found someone to carve, for your mother." ”
Cheng Man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You kid, you spend money indiscriminately! You have this money, it is better to keep the flowers yourself." It's no better at school than at home, and you can't starve to death if you find something at home. It's different when you are in school, everything costs money in school, not to mention that it is the capital, there must be more places to spend money......"
Seeing that she was going to continue, Lin Wei hurriedly interrupted her, "Mom, it's a jade pendant, and I don't know how much money I have, so don't talk about me." I know there are a lot of places to spend money in the capital, but I have the ability to make money in minutes!"
Cheng Man choked.
This girl is telling the truth, she doesn't know how to pick up ......
"Alright, alright, it's all back anyway, so you can take it. This thing is for you, and if you don't want it, it's useless, and you can just sit there and get moldy. ”
Cheng Man sighed, wiped his hands, took the small wooden box, and opened it in front of the two of them.
When I opened it, my eyes were full of joy. This jade pendant is vivid, and it makes people like it when they look at it.
Seeing that Cheng Man still liked it, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Lin Zhiyuan, "Dad, this is a gift for you." ”
What Lin Wei gave to Lin Zhiyuan was still a small box, but this box was metal.
Open the box, and on the inside of the lid of the box is a small mirror. In addition to a razor that can be assembled inside, there are also spare blades.
Lin Zhiyuan quickly took it and opened it to see that the grinning boss had a glint of joy in his eyes. Close the lid and carefully put it in his pocket, then nodded to Lin Wei reservedly.
"Aren't you happy to be happy?"
Cheng Man couldn't help but glance at him when he saw that he wanted to laugh and tried his best to control it.
"Hey, I'm glad my daughter remembers me, what's there to pretend!" he just didn't want to laugh too obviously, and be laughed at by his daughter......
Lin Wei wanted to laugh when he saw the two of them exposing each other's old bottoms with a word, but taking into account the face of the two of them, he still held back.
"Dad, Mom, do you have any ideas for building a house in the town?" Lin Wei took advantage of the time they were talking, and hurriedly said, "I mean, we have a lot of families, if we want to build a house, let's change it to a two-story building, right?"
A two-story building?!
As soon as Lin Wei's words came out, Lin Zhiyuan and Cheng Man were stunned, and the two of them seemed to can't believe their ears and glanced at each other. Seeing that the shock in the other party's eyes didn't seem to be fake, he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't find his voice.
Build a building?
How much does that cost?
If the building is really built, it is estimated that ten miles and eight villages will come to their house to see what the building looks like. When the time comes, their house will have to be surrounded by people every day, right?
In this town, in the surrounding villages and towns, I don't see anyone with a building! The only thing I know is that there are buildings in the city. If you really build a building, people don't know what to say about them behind their backs......
Cheng Man and Lin Zhiyuan could already imagine what the people in the village and town would say unpleasantly!
"It's better not to build a building, right?" Cheng Man took a deep breath and said a little unconfidently, "If we really build a building, people will definitely say about us!"
Besides, the money she and her father saved during this time was enough to build three large tiled houses, plus the courtyard wall......
What should I do if my daughter wants to build a house?
Cheng Man suddenly felt that he was too poor, too poor to satisfy his child's thoughts. There are many people in the family, and the children have grown up, and it is really inconvenient and not good-looking to sleep together again......
"If others say it, let others say it! Our family doesn't hinder them from building a building, so what's the use of what they say?"
Lin Wei knew about this concern, and also knew that some people would talk nonsense, but what did this have to do with them?
They didn't spend their money, they didn't use their bricks, they didn't occupy their land, what reason did they have to blame their family?
"If we build a building, they will only have envy. Let's talk about it, let's say it!"
How else could it be?
The ancient emperors tried their best to stop the mouths of the people, let alone the common people?
Lin Wei can see it, but Lin Zhiyuan and Cheng Man have kept a low profile for most of their lives, how can they be so easy to accept? After hesitating for most of the day, they still can't say a single word "good".
Seeing this, Lin Wei had no choice but to say, "Dad, Mom, think about it." In fact, as long as we are comfortable, we don't care what others think!"
After speaking, he walked to the door and added: "Don't worry about money!"
Lin Wei threw down this sentence and left, and the neat back made Cheng Man mistakenly think it was a moving gold mountain silver mine for a while......
