Chapter 161 200 taels of silver (2)
"Mom, I saw Dad put it in the cupboard, I'll go get it for you to eat."

Lan Tao stood up, walked to the cupboard, took the steamed stuffed bun with his hand, and hurriedly handed it to his mother and eldest sister, looking at his mother with flattering eyes, hoping that his mother would praise him and let him suffer a little grievance in front of his father , I forgot because of my mother's praise.

"The buns don't taste good when they're cold. I'd better steam them before eating."

Lan Wu took the buns, the buns were cold, after steaming, the steaming buns taste more delicious, she didn't pay attention at all, Lan Tao looked at her pitifully, like a puppy hoping to be praised by its master.

"Father of Lancao, you eat a steamed stuffed bun, and I share a steamed stuffed bun with several children."

Lan Wu steamed the steamed buns and put them on the small table, thinking that she and Lancao had already eaten at home, and Lan Tao and Lan Jia also ate at home. One steamed bun must not be finished, so she handed over a steamed stuffed bun To Lancao's father.

"You and bluegrass eat! Several of us ate buns on the street, which are specially reserved for the two of you."

Lan Dazhi didn't pick up the steamed buns handed over by Lancao's mother. Now that he had eaten a bowl of porridge, his stomach was basically full. Because it was porridge, his mouth didn't feel dry anymore, and it was still caring to raise his daughter.

For Tuolanjia's blessing, now when he goes to the market, he will buy a few steamed buns to eat. It was something that he never dared to think about before. Now that he has so much money at home, his pressure is not so great.

But he will still work hard to make the family's life better and better. He didn't expect that this time, Luozi sold for 4 taels of silver, 40 Wen, which was really incredible, and made him feel like a dream.

In the end, he couldn't help but let Lancao's mother and Lancao share a bun, and he, Lan Tao, and Lan Jia shared a bun.

Lan Jia took a small piece of steamed stuffed bun and ate it in small bites. She felt that today's steamed stuffed bun was the most fragrant, the most delicious, and the most delicious. The fragrance left her lips and teeth after eating it, which made her feel endless aftertaste. She thought it was a delicacy.

She did not expect that a small steamed stuffed bun would bring so much happiness. The whole family had bright smiles on their faces, and felt that they were really happy. In fact, happiness is as simple as that.

Happiness does not necessarily mean having a lot of money, but how much power you have. Rich people and powerful people don’t necessarily mean happiness if they think too much.

"Dad, I really have something good to tell you, Dad, don't hit me on the head again."

After Lan Tao finished speaking, he quickly covered his head with his hand, hid on his mother's body, and then stretched out his head to see if his father would hit his head again. Seeing that his father was eating buns with his head down, he didn't respond at all. Him, he felt relieved all at once.

Lan Tao took out all the silver from his bosom, put it on the small table, raised his eyebrows, and looked at his father triumphantly, meaning that I was telling the truth, so it would be impossible to beat me on the head again!

"You brat, where did the money come from?"

Lan Dazhi didn't even look at the silver on the small table, let alone reached for the silver, stared at Lan Tao angrily, and asked with an unhappy face.

"Father, this money..."

Seeing his father's angry expression, Lan Tao was stunned. Why did his father look at him with such eyes? It was so frightening. He turned his head hastily and asked Lan Jia for help.

"Father, this money was given by Uncle Lu. The last time we sold ginseng, Uncle Lu said that he gave us a medium price. His boss looked at it and thought that the quality of ginseng was very good, so he gave us the highest price, so Then give us another 300 taels of silver."

Lan Jia lazily leaned on her mother's shoulder, smiled slightly, glanced at her eldest brother, and then slowly explained word by word, so that her father would not be so angry when she heard it, and let her mother and eldest sister understand how the money came from.

"Lan Tao, Lan Jia said that there are 300 taels of silver. Why is there only so much? You lost the rest of the silver."

Lan Dazhi looked at the silver on the small table at most 50 taels of silver, where did the rest of the silver go?

"Father, I forgot, the other money is on me, I will take it out right away."

Lan Jia rubbed her nose, why did she forget about this, and hurriedly took out the banknote from her bosom.

"Father, it's not that my elder brother and I don't want to tell you. When we are afraid to tell you, if you are happy and shout out, it will be troublesome if you are heard by the bad guys. My elder brother and I are very careful, lest we accidentally lose the money. Sleeping on the bullock cart, I stretched out my hands to touch it. The elder brother was still very worried. When he was holding the silver, he often quietly reminded me to be careful not to lose the silver ticket. The silver made my elder brother and I worry about it. In the future, if there are such good things in our family, father, mother, and eldest sister should worry about them! My eldest brother and I are two young people, so we don’t have to worry about them. We don’t have money on us, so we can have fun and be more relaxed.”

Lan Jia's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, as beautiful as the wings of a butterfly, and her pink cherry mouth pouted, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"The Erya in our family is the most sensible. She thinks about problems and is thoughtful, so she won't act frizzy like your elder brother."

Lan Dazhi gently stroked Lan Jia's hair, and comforted Lan Jia gently. He didn't want Lan Jia to suffer even the slightest grievance, so he scolded Lan Tao to make Lan Jia happy. Anyway, Lan Tao has a thick skin, so it doesn't matter if he talks about it .

Lan Tao looked at the sky speechlessly, and said secretly, Dad, if you comfort Lan Jia, just comfort Lan Jia, it has nothing to do with him, he can only talk about his father secretly in his heart, how dare he say it out.

Mrs. Lan Wu picked up the silver bills that Lan Jia put on the small table, and began to count. The silver on the small table was clear at a glance, and Lan Cao counted how many copper coins there were.

Lan Dazhi waited there with a smile, wondering if it was so much money.

"Brother, let's take advantage of our father, mother, and eldest sister's happiness, so we still tell them that Uncle Lu thanked us for the money and didn't take it. If the two of us accidentally slip up and let our father, mother, and elder sister know, then we will be fine." I will be even more angry, neither of us can stop it. Why don't we say it now, stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it's better to say it now, big brother, don't talk, anyway, father and mother dote on me, even if If they are angry, they won't do anything to me. Besides, it's my decision not to ask Uncle Lu to thank us for the money. I didn't even discuss it with you, so I decided not to ask for the money from Uncle Lu."

Lan Jia leaned close to Lan Tao's ear, quietly discussed with her elder brother, and told her father, mother, and elder sister without reservation that today father especially likes to knock elder brother on the head.

She didn't want to let her elder brother be punished because of her fault. Then, she would feel guilty and uneasy.
