Chapter 127 Chapter 127
The next morning, Li Changhui and Lin He woke up.

After tidying up the children, having breakfast, paying for the inn and meals for the past few days, refunding the extra deposit, and taking the specially prepared food, he drove the carriage and set off.

Unexpectedly, after resting for five days, the horse has grown a circle of fat, and its hair is also shiny and clean. It is obvious that it is full and has taken a bath. It seems that it has been served well in the inn these days.

The carriage was rented from the carriage shop in the town, and the deposit was enough to buy a horse and a carriage, so the carriage shop was not worried.

When the carriage is returned, as long as the carriage and horses are not damaged, the rental fee will be deducted according to the time, and the rest will be returned.

On the way back, Lin He was still holding An An and sitting next to Li Changhui. This time he made preparations when he came here, and bought a thin veiled hat to wear.

The veil is only a layer of simple white gauze, which is not very long, but it just covers her and An'an's face in her arms, so that it can not only avoid direct sunlight, but also isolate the dust on the road.

Originally, she also bought a black one for Li Changhui, but Li Changhui didn't wear it.

The two children in the carriage were still chattering, excitedly discussing what they had seen and heard in the county.

This horse pulls carts all the year round, knows what he does, and now that there is only one road under his feet, he doesn't even need Li Changhui to spur him on, he just walks forward.

Li Changhui was sitting on the carriage, holding the rein loosely with one hand, looking very relaxed.

"Let's buy a carriage ourselves in the future."

Lin He was looking around, maybe because of the experience she had when she came here, she felt a lot more relaxed and more comfortable than when she came here.

Hearing Li Changhui's words, he turned around in confusion.

"Why buy a carriage? If you go to the town, don't you have an ox cart? And we probably don't go to the town often."

It feels a bit uneconomical.

The main reason is that horses are needed for carriages, and horses are not like cattle that can plow the land. They are only used when going out.

Li Changhui said, "The carriage is fast, and it will be much more convenient if we go to the county town in the future."

Lin He was slightly surprised: "You don't really plan to sell all the hunting in the county town in the future? That would be too troublesome, and the weather will get hot soon, and the prey will stink if stored at high temperature for a day."

Xiang'an Village is not close to Nanzhi County.

What Lin He said was so reasonable that Li Changhui didn't know how to refute it for a while.

It is really convenient to work with an ox cart, especially plowing and pulling things.

But for traveling, Li Changhui prefers a carriage.

Before Li Changhui could figure out how to persuade Lin He, he heard Lin He's voice change, and said again: "But you can buy it if you want, anyway, the family doesn't lack this little money now, and a carriage can still afford it. of."

She just suddenly remembered that Li Changhui had given her all the 1000 taels of silver notes yesterday, and said that the news belonged to her, and the money was all hers.

Li Changhui is so generous, well, although what he said is correct, the news does belong to Lin He.

Besides, a carriage doesn't cost much, and Li Changhui can easily earn it back from hunting. At worst, when feeding the cows in the future, he just needs to make another trip to feed the horses.

Although Li Changhui didn't know why Lin He changed his mind suddenly, he still explained.

"It's not all useful in the county. In summer, there is a lot of rain, and the ox cart is inconvenient. When winter comes, the ox cart will be very cold, and the horse cart will be much better."

Li Yu and Li Hao in the carriage stretched out their necks quickly when they heard their parents' discussion: "Father, mother, do we want to buy a carriage? When will we buy it? Is it expensive? How much will it cost?"

Since the return of their parents, the two boys have lived a comfortable and comfortable life. They have saved more than a dozen coins in pocket money, but they are reluctant to use it.

Hearing that the family is going to buy more property now, he is naturally very happy.

Lin He couldn't help teasing them: "Of course the carriage is expensive. Why, do you want to use your pocket money to subsidize your parents to buy a carriage? We will all ride in it in the future."

The two little guys wrinkled their little noses at the same time.

But Li Yu spoke first: "Okay, but we don't have much money, is it enough?"

Li Hao also nodded: "Yeah, I only have fourteen essays, and so does my brother."

Lin He laughed out loud, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the heads of the two little guys: "It's so generous, but the parents still have it for now, and I will find you when I really have no money in the future."

The two brothers nodded at the same time: "Mmm, yes."

The scenery on the road was almost seen when we came here. On the way back, after the initial excitement, Lin He and the two children were a little listless, leaning on the carriage and dozing off in a daze.

They simply ate some food at noon, and except for Li Changhui who kept driving the carriage, the rest of them still slept for a while and refreshed for a while.

Just like last time, when they arrived in Yonghe Town, it was almost evening, so they didn't rush to return the carriage, but drove the carriage directly to Changlin Village.

The second aunt prepared a lot of gifts, not very valuable, but they were all practical things, such as cloth needlework commonly used by farmers, or some rice noodles.

And besides these, there was also a special list of what to give to whose family, even the aunt's house was not left behind.

When they went to Changlin Village, they sent the things that the second aunt had prepared for the aunt first.

Lin He analyzed it. In this era, people still value clan relations very much.

The fact that the eldest of the Erbo's family can be a teacher shows that he has good knowledge. He is still young, and he may continue to take the scientific examination in the future.

The second child can go to Fuzhou College to study, which shows that he also wants to take this path.

The third child is still young and can't tell, but listening to the second aunt's chat, he also wants to study hard first.

From this point of view, the second uncle wants to take the back of his family and take an official career. If he can succeed, even if he is just a small official, he will be much better than he is now.

At this time, clan relations are also very important.

Scholars are very particular about character, which is also the main reason why Li Changsheng persuaded Li Changhui not to let his mother accuse him of being unfilial.

If the relationship between the second uncle and the brothers in the family is too rigid, if word spreads in the future, it will easily become that he is prosperous, and he will look down on the poor relatives in the village. This will also have a great impact on the development of several children in terms of reading.

Spend a little money and bring some practical gifts to the brothers and sisters in the village. It can not only appease the father and mother's concern for their children, but also make others see him. No matter what he is now, he has not forgotten his roots and roots.

Of course, I have to admit that the second uncle and the second aunt are really kind, and the things they bought this time cost a dozen or so.

In addition to the family of the three siblings, Li Changhui, the separated nephew, also had an exclusive gift.

Out of gratitude, Lin He took off his veil as soon as the carriage arrived at Changlin Village.

Meeting familiar people to say hello, Lin He took the opportunity to publicize the fact that the second aunt asked them to deliver things to her aunt when she came back from the county.

The purpose of the second uncle and the second aunt is very simple. Although they are no longer in their hometown, they still want to keep their good reputation.
