Hearing Sangu's grandma's guessing "Kapok? Reed?", her heart moved, and she said, "It should be silk!"
"That's right, that's right! It's silk!" Grandma Sangu couldn't help touching it again, and sighed enviously: "I've heard for a long time that the quilts that rich people cover in winter are silk quilts. The fur clothes are also cut with silk embroidered material, but I have never seen it before, so it is like this! Ouch, it looks warm! It is light and soft! The rich people will really enjoy it! "
Lian Fangzhou took a look, in addition to the five pieces of leather, this kind of thick cloth stuffed with silk, besides this one, there was also a light blue one, a dark blue one, and a snow green one, all of which were hooked with dark patterns, and the embroidered silk threads were pressed very tightly. Mi Shi smiled and said, "It's just the end of the new year, and it's just right for cutting winter clothes! Cousin Fang is really thoughtful!"
In addition to these materials, there are five or six baotou, a few handkerchiefs, and a few small purses, all of which are suitable for rural households. In addition, there are two wishful long-life locks, two pairs of silver bracelets, and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study—presumably these were specially prepared after hearing that Lian Che would go to school next year.
The third aunt looked at Lian Fangzhou longingly when she heard that the clothes were going to be cut.
Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "Let's do it quickly, everyone should be able to do one set!"
"It's definitely possible! It's a lot of material!" The third aunt's grandmother became happy, and said: "It's too plain, and I will pull two bolts of bright muslin to make an outer dress in the city. It's perfect to wear in the first month!"
Lian Fangzhou's eyes darkened, and he sighed softly: "That's not okay, can you forget, grandma, third aunt? Our siblings are still in filial piety!"
As soon as these words came out, the third aunt's grandmother said "uh" and felt a little embarrassed, and Lian Ze and the other children also showed sad expressions.
"I didn't expect that it's only been half a year since my parents left, it seems like it's been a long time!" Lian Ze sighed.
Lian Fangzhou said softly: "No matter where my parents are, they must miss us and hope that we will be well, so we must be well, so that they can rest assured!"
"Sister, I must study hard, better than my cousin! From now on, no one is allowed to bully my sister, and my younger sister!" Lian Che said quickly.
"Sister, I am also obedient! I will help with a lot of work, so that my sister won't worry!" Lian Fangqing also said.
Lian Fangzhou's heart was warm, and he said with a smile: "Well, my sister knows that you are all good children! Our family's life will definitely get better and better! Come, let's have a look at the snacks that Cousin Fang sent, let's try it!"
Lian Fangzhou didn't want to continue that heavy topic, so she said with a smile.
It is rare for children in the country to have any snacks to eat all year round, not to mention that this is a snack that only rich people have money to enjoy? As soon as Lian Fangqing's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said yes with a smile, even Lian Che couldn't help but widen her eyes.
There are two square boxes with nine grids. One box is full of colorful snacks, such as horseshoe cake, white sugar cake, osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, milk shortbread, etc. The other box is a variety of preserved fruit candies, dried apricots, Preserved peaches, candied dates, raisins, pine nut candies, etc., are all made very delicately.
"It's so pretty! It must be delicious!" Lian Fangqing squinted her eyes with a smile.
Grandma Sangu couldn't help but smack her lips, and said with a smile, "We're lucky!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze don't like snacks very much, but Lian Fangqing likes them very much, and so does Sangu's grandma. When the two of them are free, they can fry a handful of old pumpkin seeds or chestnuts for a long time.
So Lian Fangzhou, Lian Ze and the others ate only two pieces casually, leaving the rest for Lian Fangqing and the others to eat slowly. Lian Fangzhou asked Ah Jian to try it.
Ah Jian smiled and said, "I don't like sweets very much, so leave it to Qing'er and Che'er!"
Lian Fangzhou just smiled, but secretly said in his heart: Ordinary people can only afford sweets. After all, sugar is not a cheap thing, and there are few who don't like it. Ah Jian never lied. If he said he didn't like food, then he must not like food. It can be seen that his background, I'm afraid it's not low...
"Hey," Lian Fangzhou was in a daze, when the third aunt suddenly touched her lightly, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Have you met your cousin? Have you borrowed the money yet?"
Of course Lian Fangzhou would not tell Grandma Sangu that she had borrowed 10,000 taels of silver. I am afraid that Grandma Sangu would not even dare to think about such a large amount of silver.
Money can make people crazy, don't talk about whether the third aunt's grandma will have any intentions, if she is too excited and slips up, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. First of all, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt will definitely pester them desperately.
"Well, I have borrowed enough," Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "Let's discuss it tonight, grandma Sangu, you can't stop me this time, can you?"
"You—" Grandma Sangu wanted to ask how much she borrowed? But Lian Fangzhou clearly didn't want to tell her the exact amount when she answered her like that just now, so she tactfully stopped asking, and just said: "You haven't given up yet? What kind of cotton do you really want to grow? According to me, buy How good these fertile fields are!"
"Don't try to persuade me, I still want to give it a try!" Lian Fangzhou shook his head and said, "I think it's worth a try to grow cotton. I have to pay back the money I borrowed!"
"Ah? Do you want to pay it back?" Sangu's grandmother cried out in disappointment, and said, "The Su family, isn't it rich? Your mother was very close to your cousin's mother in the past. Your cousin's mother After she passed away, your mother helped your cousin! Now she is reluctant to help you... "
Lian Fangzhou said: "Cousin is very nice, but borrowing money is borrowing money, and I have to pay it back! I don't want to owe her too much! These days, if someone is willing to borrow money, it will burn the incense! "
"That's true!" Grandma Sangu smiled and felt relieved. Maybe Lian Fangzhou didn't have such intentions, but she could tell that if she didn't make it, the Su family wouldn't force her to return it.
After dinner, Lian Fangzhou picked out a few snacks, packed a bag and sent them to Aunt Zhang's house for a taste. By the way, he talked about burning charcoal.
For a while now, she has to buy land, and then she has to buy people, hire people, buy fertilizer, and clear the land so that it can be planted next year, so she can't participate in the charcoal burning.
It is inconvenient for her to go outside for these things as a girl, and Ah Jian is the most suitable and least suitable to accompany her.
It is most suitable, Ah Jian is a grown man, he looks stable and credible at first sight, and his martial arts are so strong that he can handle anything, at least, he won't let Lian Fangzhou suffer.
It's inappropriate to say that it's inconvenient for people with no relatives and no reason, and lonely men and widows. People's words are terrible.
Therefore, there had to be Lian Ze at the side.
A threesome is perfect.
Lian Fangzhou explained, and both Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li said that it should be so.
