Just because she was cold last night, she had a headache and a fever this morning, and she was lying in bed.

When Lin Shunfeng heard her voice, he knew that his mother Laozi was ill. He went to weigh some red dates for her and came back to make soup. He took niumeihua and left home early. The wonderful couple made an appointment with a card friend early and went to the table early to pick up cards.

Lin Qingshan got up when the couple left. When he left home, there were some crumbs of white flour steamed bread hanging around his mouth. Niu Jiaoer had enough to eat and drink. He took his children to sleep in the quilt and didn't get up until it was almost noon.

As a result, no one knows that Lin Anxin has quietly returned to his mother's home today.

In the evening, when Lin Qingshan came back, her face was not good. Not only he, but also Lin Shunfeng. Niu jiao'er's face was good. She was lucky today and won ten Wen eight Wen.

Lin Qingshan just went back to his house, and Niu Jiaoer complained to him: "Hey, you're back. I'm starving. The two little demons at home have to watch, and they have no time to cook. If you're not at home, we three can't even get a bite to eat."

"Why didn't you get up to cook for your mother three?" Lin Qingshan is a little unhappy. He thinks that his master's milk doesn't do anything except eat idle food. If he can't get some copper plates out of his milk, Lin Qingshan may have encouraged Lin Shunfeng to take his master and milk to Lin Shunhe's house.

"What do you eat? You're all in the house and haven't been out all day. Do you think there's something delicious hidden in the house of Ye and Nai, and you don't want to give it to the three of us?" Niu jiao'er doesn't like Lin Fang and his father-in-law very much. He thinks that they don't work and they still eat for nothing at home. No matter Qingshan or her father-in-law or mother-in-law, if they win some money, Lin Fang always asks for them.

"I don't know. I went out early this morning. Come here, dear kids, what's good for you?"

Lin Qingshan took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms and said with a smile, "fortunately, it's winter now. Otherwise, it's really hard to hide and bring it back."

Niu jiao'er had been hungry for a long time. He grabbed it and opened it to see: "Oh, it's roast chicken, and spicy mutton? Steamed pork bladder

"Where did you get all this?"

Lin Qingshan held up his little son and gave him a drumstick. Then he said with a smile, "I'm lucky today. One of the people who asked me to play cards didn't come. It happened that the owner of the family had a rich relative who said that he came here to have wedding wine. I'm lucky. Today, I won more than 30 Wen copper coins. That person has a lot of money and stupid playing cards. I want to beg for it Well, he always gives him a few cards and tells him to lose less. I don't think that man is on the road. After breaking up the cards, he has to take me to the wedding party. "

Niu jiao'er took a bite of the cold hard steamed bread and ate a piece of mutton. He said with a smile, "if you have something delicious, you can eat it."

"I haven't seen such a good thing for a long time. If I can enjoy spicy food outside, I will naturally think about bringing you a meal. I want to bring food. It's not easy to sit at the same table with that person. He's a distinguished guest again. I find a reason to separate from him. Most of the people who come here don't know each other. They just sit at a table with few people. They are rich and love each other Face, these dishes will be tasted with two chopsticks. But I'm lucky that no one at that table likes wine. When it's cheap, I'll get some delicious food for you three

Only then did Niu jiao'er know where the hard dishes came from: "ah, not to mention, the cooks hired by the family are good, and the taste of these hard dishes is very good."

"By the way, you won the money and the good dish today. Why did you come back unhappy?"

Lin Qingshan opened his mouth when he heard the speech, and he wanted to say nothing.

Niu jiao'er glanced at him and urged him to say, "come on, we are your closest friends. We are thinking of you in our heart. What can't you tell me?"

"Do you have the impression that when my father was in bad luck?"

Niu jiao'er wiped his mouth with his sleeve and replied, "it seems that it started after the autumn harvest. Yes, it was that time."

There was already a layer of dark and shiny hard shell on her sleeve. Lin Qingshan had been used to her habit for a long time. In other words, he was such a person himself, so he could turn a blind eye to it.

"What month and day is it now?"

Niu jiao'er gave him a strange look and found that her eldest son was quick and had already got her favorite piece of chicken. She gave her son a fierce look.

Lin Qingshan scolded: "you stupid mother-in-law, what's the matter with the children's food? It's not that there's no head here."

Niu jiao'er, who had been scolded, didn't think much of it and replied, "it's the 15th of the twelfth lunar month today. What's the matter?"

"It's been more than two months. My father has lost for more than two months. It's too late. I don't know how much money I have in my hands, but my hands are always tight. It's impossible for my father to lose all the time."

Niu jiao'er didn't like to use his head and asked frankly, "what's the matter with you? Is it hard to do that? Did dad steal the milk money?"

Lin Qingshan quickly put out her hand to cover her mouth, then quietly looked at the window, and then lowered her voice and scolded: "to death, I don't know if my father and I have gone through the milk room countless times.""Well, where did dad get his money from?" Niu jiao'er broke off his hand. It's true that his man didn't want her to eat more, so that her two sons could eat more. Let's just say it straight. Why do you cover her mouth and she almost choked to death.

"I've inquired about it quietly these days. No one told me that today I'm having a wedding party there. I overheard people saying that there's a wonderful person in our town. He said that he can only put money in printing money and mortgage homestead, good farmland and shops. He's so poor that he can take his own mother-in-law and son-in-law."

Niu jiao'er felt dizzy when she heard this. She didn't understand what it had to do with her family.

Lin Qingshan saw that she knew what she was thinking, and immediately scolded, "you stupid woman, do you know what printing money is? That's Li gunli. Eggs can roll bigger than our yard. "

"Ah, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Lin Qingshan was so angry that he fell in love with such a stupid woman.

"I suspect my father borrowed a lot of money."

"If I borrow money, I'm afraid of nothing. My father's luck is not good. Maybe after the new year, he will come back soon." The ox horn son still does not put on the heart.

Lin Qingshan felt that this matter had to be clear with her.

"Listen to me. I heard the news today. My father went to the bank and borrowed a lot of money. I've inquired carefully whether it's easy to borrow or not to pay back the money. The interest is so high that it's frightening. You can borrow one or two. Maybe when you pay it back, the other party will ask you to pay back one hundred Liang."

"One hundred Liang, damn it, why don't you rob it? With so much silver, can my Lin family still borrow it?" Niu jiao'er's nose was almost crooked with anger.

"What do you know? I don't want to surprise you. I want to tell you that we should pay close attention to the money we have. Today is the 15th day. The one who put the money will ask our father for money by the 15th day of the first month at the latest."

The cow horn son smell speech flustered God, busy ask: "that how to do, this money again how hide, also can't hide to other people's home."

"Stupid, is that what I mean? I'm telling you, after the Chinese new year, we'll find an opportunity to take the kids out to hide for a while. I've won some money by playing cards these years, and I'll give some milk to them. You can hide the rest. It's still there. "

"Yes, yes." Niu jiao'er is a bit stupid, but she won't elbow to her mother's home, and she won't move everything to her mother's home, which is also the most satisfactory point of Lin Qingshan.

"Show it to me."

Niu Jiao Er reluctantly put down his chicken claws and rubbed the oil on his body. Then he went to the back of the bed and moved out a big jar: "as you taught me, put the copper plate well and put it under here. All the pickles are on it. For so many years, my mother and milk have never found it."

"Neither my mother nor my milk would want to go here. Take it out quickly and I'll see how much money there is."

Lin Qingshan is not a bull's horn. When he won outside for a long time, he always set aside more than half of it and only gave it to Lin Fangshi for a small half. After all these years, he quietly saved more than ten Liang.

He counted the broken silver and the copper plates, and he felt a little confused.

"In charge of the family, is it really so terrible to put the printing money? Can you still come to our house? Is there any royal law left? "

"What do you know? Who dares to do this? No one in any yamen? My family is just a common people. My relatives can't borrow any of their strength. Can they not be beaten by others? " Lin Qingshan thought about it, thinking that he still had more than ten Liang in his hand, but he didn't say much.

"Be clever and diligent these days. I'm going to coax my father's unique skills. No matter how much my mother tries to pick on me, you have to bear with me. When I learn my father's unique skills, I can't get along with your mother."

Niu jiao'er is in a hurry. Now she is in a panic, for fear that someone will rush into her house in the middle of the night and take away the money from her house.

"Master, let's go to another place to hide!"

Lin Qingshan was agitated in her heart, and her tone was not very good. She asked her: "then tell me, what good place is beyond my mother's imagination?"

Niu jiao'er is dumb.

"In charge of the family, I'm so worried. You say, will those people come to the door during the Spring Festival?"

Lin Qingshan replied: "you can rest assured that those people's masters will also celebrate the new year. They won't come to the door at this time. It's just that you can take advantage of the new year's Eve to collect all the important things at home. It's more convenient to run away at that time."

He didn't want to help his father solve the problem. Instead, he planned to get out of the way at the beginning.
