The food was consumed faster than Jinhua expected.
Less than two weeks before the Chinese New Year, the small half bag of white noodles had been flattened by their mouths, leaving only a thin layer of flour covering the white cloth bag.
Jinhua raised her hand and shook the flour bag.
After pouring the last bit of flour into the bowl, she glanced at Gao Wenxuan who was following behind.
She was in no mood to pay attention to him and just worked silently.
She had given a lot of thought these days, and even thought about returning to her old business of digging graves in the middle of the night.
However, due to the difficulty in digging holes in the soil in winter, she found another way to make money.
On the second day after everyone was causing trouble, she took the pancakes she had made with her own hands and went to find the woman in blue.
The woman in blue was named He Liu.
She was the third daughter-in-law of the He family.
She was usually quite prestigious in the village. figure.
The He family lives in the west end of the village.
They have three large houses with walls made of soybean mud.
The mud is made from fine soybean milk.
When the mud is made from the ground, an iron sheet is scratched through it, leaving it as smooth as a topaz stone carving.
There is a bamboo forest next to it, and the falling snow and the fluttering bamboo leaves look very elegant.
Jinhua chatted with He and Liu for almost an afternoon, and roughly figured out some of the situation in the village.
There were three families in charge of the village, namely He, Liu, and Song.
The He family is the eldest son in the village.
It is said that the He family was a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
There were many children in the family who passed the exams.
In the words of Mr.
He and Liu, the He family is a big and prominent family in the village and can also be called a famous family in the county.
The other two families are the Liu family and the Song family.
The Liu family is the natal family of the He Liu family and is an old resident of the village.
No one knows how long this family has existed.
Some say it has been here since the Qin Dynasty.
Yes, some say that the Liu family has some relationship with Liu Gaozu.
In short, He Liu family can praise him as much as he wants.
Jinhua listened to He Liu's words silently and did not reply.
The silence gave her a lot of opportunities to think.
When He Liu finished speaking, she had already made a good plan.
He Liu revealed Two very useful pieces of information.
One is that the He family has great prestige in the village, and the triangle-eyed boy is the boy of the He family.
This fact makes Jinhua very afraid.
Looking at the triangle-eyed battle, there will be another one in the future.
Big trouble.
Second, this year's harvest is poor, and they have to go to the Wang family compound in the town to borrow seeds from a young squire named Wang.
Jinhua pays close attention to the Wang Family Courtyard.
She has a hunch that this Wang Family Courtyard may be an opportunity to change her and Gao Wenxuan's current life.
Because she is eager to get rid of this predicament, she treats the He Liu family There was a little more enthusiasm in his words: "Sister, why don't you tell me what the origin of this Wang Family Courtyard is?"
He Liu was just a woman.
The furthest range of her two little feet could only reach the village.
She had never left the village for half her youth, so she knew very little about the Huang Family Courtyard.
She looked at Jinhua He shook his head: "I don't know about this either."

Jinhua didn't question He Liu anymore.
She hurried back home before the sun set on the copper basin-sized sun.
In the following days, due to the continuous rain and snow, Jinhua almost never went out.
She and Gao Wenxuan lived on the remaining food for more than half a month.
"Jinhua."
After mixing less than half a bowl of flour into batter, Jinhua turned to look at Gao Wenxuan: "The meal will be ready in a while."
"I didn't say anything about eating."
Gao Wenxuan's slight frown showed his irritability at the moment.
"Then what do you want to say?"
Jinhua stirred the batter into the large boiling pot.
Gao Wenxuan didn't say anything.
He looked at Jinhua for a moment and handed over something in his hand.
Jinhua looked at the thing in Gao Wenxuan's hand and suddenly became speechless.
She took the money from Gao Wenxuan's hand and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this money from?"
Gao Wenxuan didn't say anything, he just pushed the money into Jinhua's hand.
The silver dollar lay heavy in his hand.
Considering their current situation, this was a large amount of money.
After looking at Gao Wenxuan for a while, Jinhua still couldn't think of a reason.
Gao Wenxuan stood in the shadow of the window with a quiet expression.
His profile was easily reminiscent of an old and dull antique painting.
Seeing that Gao Wenxuan didn't answer, Jinhua stood up from his side.
She looked at him seriously and said every word seriously: "A gentleman loves money in a wise way."
Gao Wenxuan did not expect Jinhua's face to be filled with excitement.
He felt a little unhappy watching her lecture.
His eyes stayed on her for a moment, and finally he said: "My money is clean."
Seeing his gentleness and his increasingly clear eyes, Jinhua felt as if a ball of cotton was suddenly stuffed into his heart, and his heart softened again, and asked him in a low voice: "Then tell me how you got here, so that I can rest assured."
Gao Wenxuan looked at her and suddenly pouted.
He leaned over and kissed her without any precautions.
Jinhua heard his low voice, which was like whispering: "I treat the ring as a ” "What are you talking about?"
Jinhua was like a fierce leopard.
In the flow of time, she quickly turned around.
Her hands and waist were leaning on the stove, and she looked at him in shock.
Gao Wenxuan: "The ring is very important to the ring.
Didn't I tell you before?
We can't pawn the ring until the end."
There was a dim change in Gao Wenxuan's eyes.
He shook his head and stubbornly pushed the coins in his hand to Jinhua.
He looked at Jinhua and said clearly: "Just spend the money, there will always be a way to do it in the future. " Jinhua has been in contact with Gao Wenxuan for a lot of time in the past few months.
Jinhua knows that his spirit is good and bad, but he doesn't know what is wrong with his body now, and he doesn't know whether his current mind is as good as before, and whether he can survive.
She gives 100% trust.
Holding the money in hand, I thought about it for a long time.
If we consider it realistically, the two of them do need money.
The money from pawn ring can indeed solve their urgent needs.
But based on her inner thoughts, Jinhua was not happy for Gao Wenxuan to pawn his fingers.
Not to mention that he once told her that the ring ring was extraordinary, not to mention that he once told her that seeing a ring is like seeing a person.

She knew very well in her heart that when she returned to Xiangxi, the wrench finger would be where it showed its talents.
"Wenxuan, tell me the name of that shop, and then wait obediently at home for me to come back."
After putting away the pawn tickets and silver coins, Jinhua kissed Gao Wenxuan's forehead and finally decided to redeem the ring.
Gao Wenxuan is not sober now, and she has to make every plan for him.
Still going to the town before, Jinhua once again took the ox cart on the road.
She was worried that someone would disturb Gao Wenxuan after she left.
Before leaving, she specifically told him not to open the door when anyone called.
Gao Wenxuan did not agree as obediently as before, and his attitude was a little impatient.
Jinhua noticed his demeanor these days and was very surprised to see that he looked a bit like before he was not stupid.
Now sitting on the bullock cart, she was still thinking about his affairs.
In Jinhua's view, what she and Gao Wenxuan lack now is the travel expenses back to western Hunan.
In addition to wanting to redeem Gao Wenxuan's ring, she also has another purpose, which is to go to the Wang family compound to find out the truth.
Ever since she learned about the squire from He Liu's mouth, she still had this thought in her mind.
It can be said that she was thinking about it all the time.
She didn't plan to stay in the village for too long, and it would take time for her farming work to return to its original purpose.
It took too long, was too inefficient, and was really troublesome.
She decided to deal with the squire named Wang and borrow a sum of money for travel expenses.
After thinking about it, Jinhua accidentally pinched the blade in her hand.
The smooth blade surface made her feel excited.
The faint excitement seemed to have been lurking in every tiny pore of her body for a long time.
She felt the cells all over her body.
They were all clamoring that they had no money and could be robbed.
That squire was simply a good opportunity.
The bullock cart was moving along the narrow path.
The sky suddenly turned gray and the wind picked up.
It was the eve of the storm.
After a four-hour journey, the oxcart finally arrived at the county town.
The county town was different from the countryside.
It was filled with noise and prosperity.
The men's loud talk, the women's coquettish smiles and soft words, and the children's playfulness and coquettishness formed the main theme of the county town's music.
Jinhua was standing outside the county town, pinched the silver coins on her body, and decided to go to the shop where Gao Wenxuan worked as a thumb ring first.
She also thought about her words on the way and knew how to talk to the shopkeeper.
At the same time, when she was in the car She also inquired with the coachman about the location of the Wang family compound.
Squinting her eyes, Jinhua strode towards the blue brick road in the county town.
She felt indescribable happiness in her heart.
She told herself that she was just borrowing some money from the squire named Wang, and did not realize that she had been a good seed.
The self has gradually turned into a bad embryo.
The pawn shop is located on the most prosperous street in the county, and its location is very conspicuous.
After passing by, Jinhua saw at a glance where Gao Wenxuan was wrenching his fingers, and headed straight in the direction of the yellow paint sign.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a square eyebrow, a mustache, round eyes, and a round face, with a friendly appearance.
Seeing Jinhua come in, the shopkeeper took a quick look and said, "Miss, what a treat."
Jinhua took the tea from the concierge, waved his hand, and took out the silver coins on his body: "No, I'm here to redeem something."
The shopkeeper lowered his head again and said with a hint of laziness in his voice: "I'm pawnshop."
Jinhua felt in his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the pawn ticket, looked at it, returned the silver dollar that Jinhua took out, and said apologetically: "Miss, you are cheating."

Jinhua took a look at the pawn ticket from the shopkeeper with some suspicion.
Sure enough, she saw the word "Dead Pawn" written on the pawn ticket.
She thought that Gao Wenxuan might have been deceived by the people in the pawnshop.
She glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "I asked you to The boss is here."
Hearing Jinhua's words, the shopkeeper pinched his beard, and with some imperceptible contempt in his voice, he asked: "Miss, you just wanted to call our boss."
Jinhua nodded, and the shopkeeper laughed: "It's useless even if you call the owner, the deposit is dead pawn, and the pawn will belong to the pawnshop.
This is the rule in the shop, and the rules cannot be broken."
"Rules are set by people.
If you have any questions, I can wait until I meet with my boss to talk about it."
The shopkeeper looked at Jinhua for a moment, then suddenly started fiddling with the abacus loudly: "Girl, let me tell you, don't just stay here.
Who is our boss?
He can see people as he pleases."
"Is your boss the girl from the embroidery building?
I only heard that the girls in the embroidery building are not allowed to meet anyone casually."
The shopkeeper glanced at Jinhua through the wooden fence: "Our boss is naturally the youngest in the Wang family."
"Wang Family Wang Family Courtyard" Jin Hua thought in his mind, feeling that he was really lucky and couldn't stop those words no matter what.
The shopkeeper raised his head and looked very proud: "That's natural, we are the only one in the business, the only one."
Jinhua looked at the shopkeeper's exaggerated expression and patted the counter gently: "Then your boss really needs to have a good talk with me.
To be honest, I came here to see him for something important."
The shopkeeper was dubious and continued to do the review work: "What is it specifically?"
"Important matters."
The shopkeeper grinned, with a contemptuous smile on his face, like a arrogant ostrich.
He added: "I have seen you pick up our boss's women like this many times.
Don't waste time, today our boss and the Song family The lady has a date."
Jinhua didn't expect that this gentleman from Wang's hometown would have such a loyal shopkeeper.
She suddenly remembered the former shopkeeper Qin.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to know whether shopkeeper Qin was still in charge of the shoe store and whether Shanghai Tang was still in charge.
Just like before.
"Uncle Song, I'm not here.
I just heard what this young lady said."
Jinhua was distracted when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and at the same time, a hand was also speaking.
He hugged her waist when it rang.
Looking up, Jinhua raised his eyebrows in surprise.
This person was actually an acquaintance.
"You are not in Peiping" "It seems that Miss Rong still remembers me."
The man answered the question incorrectly.
"Of course I remember you, Mr.
Wang."
Jinhua let go of his hand from his waist.
"Rong Jinhua, why are you here?"
Jinhua saw him approaching and jumped off the chair: "Wang Kun, why are you here?"
Wang Kun smiled, and Jinhua found that he was paler and more imposing than usual in Peking.
He was wearing a silver-gray fashionable robe, a gold-rimmed pocket watch, and bookish gold-rimmed glasses.
He looked very stylish. .
"I'm from Hubei, so naturally I stay in Hubei.

I don't know why Miss Rong came here."
"I can come whenever I want.
This is my freedom."
Wang Kun wrinkled his nose and smiled maliciously: "I was asking you why you came to the pawn shop."
Jinhua handed him the pawn ticket: "I'm here to redeem something."
Wang Kun lowered his head to look at the pawn ticket, and waved his hand to the loyal Uncle Song.
Uncle Song walked away from the counter with a grimace on his face, and then came back with a satin box in his hand.
"Hey, I'm selling you a favor.
In return, I'll go to the Furong Building with me for dinner tonight."
With that said, Wang Kun handed over the box. sjgsf0916:
