Ordinary happy life

Chapter 5 Selling (1)

Father Lin was the first to come back to his senses from the joy. He looked around carefully and saw that there was no one around. Then he calmly said to Lin Dazhu, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Get the basket quickly." Go to the house, and don't rest after dinner. Go to the town with Erzhu to sell the yam, so that it will not become stale and not be sold at a high price after a long time."

Lin Dazhu's first reaction after hearing this was Looking at Lin Qin, after all, Lin Qin found these yams, but Lin's father now seemed to want to send Lin Qin out. Lin Dazhu was worried that Lin Qin would have thoughts in his heart.

Lin Qin naturally saw Lin Dazhu's expression and smiled slightly to show that he was not dissatisfied. When Lin Qin dug up the yams, he had no intention of selling them himself. He was not surprised that Lin's father asked the two brothers Lin Dazhu to take the yams to the town. This is the case in rural areas. All major family matters are decided by the elders, or the eldest son or grandson. There is never a woman or brother who takes charge of the family. Even for some of the more aggressive wives in the village, the head of the family still has the final say in their family matters.

If Lin Qin is already married, Lin Qin can sell it himself as long as the head of the family has no objection, but Lin Qin is an unmarried brother. Although there is not so much protection in rural areas, and boys and girls generally work in the fields like men, there are still some taboos. Don't even think about going out to do odd jobs like a man. Even if you go to town to sell things, you will be gossiped about.

Lin Dazhu came to his senses at this time and secretly thought that he was confused. While taking the backpack into the house, he said to Lin Qin, "Brother Qin, do you have anything you want to bring? I will bring it back to you this afternoon."

"Brother, I don't need anything, so don't waste that money." Lin Qin was touched by Lin Dazhu's kindness to him, but he still refused obediently.

Although Lin Qin refused, Lin Dazhu still made up his mind to buy something for Lin Qin. Looking at Lin Qin's bald hair, he thought about buying Lin Qin a hair tie. Although hair ties are cheap, they still cost several cents. Lin Qin is not willing to spend that money. On weekdays, he makes hair ties from rags, or uses straw ropes directly as hair ties.

By the time the family woke up from the excitement, other families had already finished lunch and took a lunch break, but no one in the Lin family cared. Because of time constraints, Lin Qin did not cook. Instead, he simply cooked a few bowls of noodles and each of them ate a bowl. After that, Lin Dazhu and his two brothers walked towards the town with their baskets on their backs.

"Brother, when the second brother arrives in the town, you first go to the houses of the rich families and ask if anyone wants it. If no one wants it, then go to the restaurant." Lin Qin warned the two brothers before setting off.

Lin Erzhu didn't understand why he had to go to wealthy families first and ask, wouldn't it be more convenient to sell directly to a restaurant? Those wealthy families always looked down on country people meeting them.

Lin Dazhu understands Lin Qin's thoughts. It is convenient to sell directly to restaurants, but restaurants usually lower the prices. If they can be sold directly to wealthy families, the price can be higher.

"Be careful on the road." Lin's father watched the two people leave and warned them with some worry.

"I know, Dad." The two brothers responded at the same time.

After the two brothers Lin Dazhu left, Lin's father also went back to his room to take a lunch break. But he didn't know if he was too excited, so he couldn't fall asleep until the usual time to get up.

Because the two brothers Lin Dazhu were not around, Lin Qin also picked up a hoe and went to the fields with Lin's father in the afternoon.

When the two arrived at the field, the people in the neighboring village had already started farming, and they were a little surprised not to see the two brothers Lin Dazhu.

"Brother Lin, why didn't you see the big pillar and the second pillar???" The villager who asked the question was named Lin Sheng and Lin's father was somewhat related by blood.

"Brother Qin dug some good things in the mountains today. I asked the two brothers to take them to the town and sell them." Lin's father didn't hide why Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu were not there. If he kept hiding it again and again, sooner or later someone would still find out. It's better to say it openly from the beginning. Secondly, although the money from selling yams is not small, it is not too much. Although Zhuangyuan Village is not a wealthy village, it is not considered poor either. There are many people who earn more than ten taels of silver a year. Those who know that the Lin family dug a few yams may sigh or even envy them, but they will definitely not be jealous.

"What good things were dug up, and they were taken directly to the town without waiting for a day???" Hearing what Lin's father said, Lin Sheng became even more curious.

"I dug up a few yams, each of which weighed two or three kilograms. I was worried that they would not be able to sell at a high price if they were not fresh tomorrow, so I asked the two brothers Dazhuzi to take them to the town as soon as possible. The young masters and ladies in the town would not Do you all like to eat it?" Father Lin still kept a cautious eye and did not tell the exact number of yams.

When Lin Sheng and Lin's father were talking, many villagers around him were listening with their ears pricked up. When they heard that Lin Qin actually dug up several yams, they suddenly screamed in surprise because they knew the price of yams.

Lin Sheng didn't expect Lin Qin to be so lucky, but he also knew the situation at Lin's father's house. He was amazed and even more happy for Lin's father. He smiled and said, "It seems that I will be able to drink it soon." It's your wedding."

"Don't worry, you will have a great time." Father Lin replied with a smile without denying it.

As soon as Father Lin's words came out, the surrounding villagers all started joking. Lin Qin looked at the rare smile on Father Lin's face while farming, and slightly raised the corners of his lips to reveal a comfortable smile.
