Chapter 10 Into the City

The old lady Zhang also wiped her tears. The appearance of the two old people made the daughter and son-in-law sitting here cry.

Xia Ye was crying even more, and said intermittently: "Brother Lin, although you are a daughter-in-law assigned by the government, you are very lucky to meet such a daughter-in-law with such good conditions. Dad will have the face to see your mother when he goes to the earth."

Zhang Meng and Zhang Ren thought of their dead sister (sister). Now seeing their family members suffering so much, they also felt very uncomfortable. The three of them grew up together, and their relationship is naturally the best.

Six years ago, the second younger sister (second sister) suddenly became seriously ill. She coughed and often complained of heartache. They asked the doctor to treat the younger sister (second sister), but in the end they failed to save the second sister (second sister).

Zhang Zelin turned his head to the other side in silence. Their family's food and clothing were not good when his mother was alive, but they are happy together as a family.

I can see my mother every day when I go home, and no one will say that they are motherless children when they go out. After their mother passed away, they went out with their father, and others said they were motherless... All these years, father took their brothers and sisters alone. The life of the three of them, I don't know how much hardship they have endured until today.

Every night my father embroidered for others, and he was reluctant to rest every night, wishing that it would never be dark, and he and his younger siblings dared not ask for a penny.

Zhang Shitou was still young, but he was a little girl. He squeezed his hands tightly and bit his lips to keep himself from crying. Zhang Ze'an (second brother) looked at the sky outside and wept softly.

Seeing his family members crying like this is not an option for Zhang Meng, as the old saying goes that it is unlucky to cry at night, so he quickly wiped away his tears and persuaded his family members.

"Mother, father, third sister, brother-in-law, husband-in-law, nephews and nieces, don't cry in the middle of the night. Brother Lin's marriage is a happy event, we should be happy."

"Yes, yes, the boss is right. You don't want to cry in the middle of the night. Brother Lin's marriage is a happy event, so you can't cry and regret it at night." After listening to the eldest daughter, Mrs. Zhang stopped crying and wiped away her tears. Everyone knows.

Fang Qing didn't know the current situation of the Zhang family, she was sleeping soundly now?
Fang Qing woke up the next day under the reminder of the biological clock, stretched and said to himself, "Yeah! This sleep is so refreshing."

She went to the kitchen to wash her face with cold water, lit the fire to boil the water for breakfast, and heard the knock on the door, wondering who came so early.

"Stone, why are you here so early?"

"Sister-in-law, daddy made breakfast, let me call you over to have breakfast, daddy said to go to the city after breakfast."

Seeing her eight-year-old future sister-in-law calling her for breakfast so early, Fang Qing wondered how early Zhang Zelin's family got up.

"Stone, wait, I'll get on the horse, and I'll go with you."

"Okay, but I have to go to Aunt Xin's house first, and my father asked me to call Aunt Xin."

"Okay, you go first, I will drive the carriage and wait for you."

After the stone left, Fang Qing found the cloth bag that the horse dealer gave her to feed her horses, filled the bag with horse food from the horse dealer, put it around the horse's neck and let the horse eat by itself, she dragged the carriage out and rode on the horse.

"Sister-in-law, can I go?"

As soon as Fang Qing had harnessed the carriage, he heard the sound of stones. "Hey! I'll come out right away."

"Shitou, come on, get in the carriage quickly, we'll go to your house right away." Fang Qing stepped out, told Shishi to come over quickly, and carried her into the carriage after Shishi came.

"Stone, why did you wake up so early?"

"Sister-in-law, daddy and elder brother woke up very early!" Shitou told Fang Qing with a smile when Fang Qing asked her something.

This is the only way in the village, and Fang Qing drove the carriage to Zhang's house in about ten minutes.

"Girl Qing is here! Come, come, come in quickly." Mrs. Zhang saw Fang Qing coming in a carriage, and called her with a smile.

"Grandma, I'll come in right away." Fang Qing replied to Mrs. Zhang, tied up the horse and walked into the house with the stone.

After Zhang Xin arrived, Xia Ye and her two sisters-in-law brought a few sons to prepare meals.

"Mother, bring the elder sisters over for dinner."

"Let's go... let's go to have breakfast. After breakfast, we can go to the city." Mrs. Zhang told her son-in-law to eat, and hurriedly ordered several people to serve quickly.

Fang Qing saw that there were leftovers from last night on the table, a bowl of white noodle cakes and a large bowl of white rice porridge, she picked up a big bowl, scooped a bowl of porridge and a cake, and began to eat.

Zhang Zelin and the others were men. He ate in the yard with his father, uncle and brothers, and was taken back to the room by his father after he finished eating.

"Brother Lin, you change into this suit, which was brought by your uncle."

Zhang Zelin took the new clothes from his father: "Daddy, how did uncle bring the new clothes?"

"Your uncle thought that you should dress decently when you go shopping in the city, so he brought you this new set of clothes."

"Daddy, none of the third brother..."

"Brother Lin, don't worry about your third brother, your third brother's new clothes, daddy will make them for your uncle later."

Xia Ye knew what his son wanted to say. The son didn't have any decent clothes. The eldest brother was kind enough to bring new clothes to his son. He was grateful in his heart. He would make up for the third brother's new clothes later.

Zhang Xin ate breakfast in a hurry, and hurriedly called the villagers to order what he needed to buy today.

Fang Qing had a good meal, and waited for the old lady to arrange for the third eldest Zhang Ren to invite her. The clan members who needed to be invited to the banquet tomorrow, she sat in the carriage and waited for Mrs. Zhang and the others.

Xia Ye led Zhang Zelin out, and the old lady just ordered her third son to nod in satisfaction when she saw her grandson in new clothes.

"Since everyone is here, let's go!"

When Fang Qing saw them coming out, she put a small ladder on the side of the carriage so that they could get up.

"Grandma, grandpa, father-in-law, auntie, brother Lin, get in the carriage quickly."

After everyone was seated, Fang Qing and Zhang Meng sat outside and drove the carriage. The carriage was faster than the ox cart. Ten minutes later, the group arrived in the city. The guards at the gate of the city cost 22 Wen to enter the city.

There is a management fee for entering the city. Everyone needs to pay silver when entering the city. Individuals pay two renminbi, ox carts five renminbi and horse-drawn carts ten renminbi. They have six people in the car and twelve renminbi. city ​​fee.

After entering the city, Fang Qing came to the bank in a carriage, because she had no money with her, so now she came to the bank to exchange money.

Parked the carriage at Qianzhuang, and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Grandma, wait for me here."

"You go! Let's look at the carriage here." Seeing Fang Qing coming to the bank, Mrs. Zhang guessed that the girl might have come to collect the money, so she told her to go as soon as possible.

Fang Qing walked into the bank and took out 400 taels of silver notes.

"Shopkeeper, please help me exchange these 400 taels into silver!"

Seeing Fang Qing exchanging money, the bank manager took the bank note and looked at it carefully and asked, "I don't know how many silver ingots and copper coins Miss wants to exchange."

Listening to the shopkeeper's question, Fang Qing said without thinking: "Exchange ten taels of copper coins, 100 taels of broken silver, and 190 taels of silver ingots, and 100 taels of silver bills." Copper coins, she can't pull the carriage away.

The treasurer of the bank counted the money quickly, put the money in a box and handed it to Fang Qing.

"Miss, the money, I have already exchanged it for you."
