"I have my own plan." Zhao Heng did not elaborate, but just replied vaguely.

Zhao Xuan looked at Wang Chunniang with some worry. When Wang Chunniang heard this, she immediately said: "Okay, you two, father and daughter, are busy with work. Remember to come back early."

Wang Chunniang deliberately did not ask what they were going to do.

A Bao was very happy to go out with his father. After lunch, A Bao stood in the yard with great anticipation, waiting for Zhao Heng to come out.

Zhao Heng changed his clothes. When he went out, he subconsciously wanted to take the stick he usually used to explore the way, but just when his hand was about to touch the stick, he took his hand back.

Seeing this, Abao immediately ran forward, grabbed Zhao Heng's clothes, and whispered: "Daddy, I will take you away."

Zhao Heng said nothing, but he was indeed pulled out by the little guy.

"Dad, where are we going?" Standing at the door of his courtyard, Abao looked at the street in the village and asked Zhao Heng with some confusion.

Zhao Heng seemed to have been planning for a long time. He said directly: "Take me to Dr. Qian's house."

Abao had been to Dr. Qian's house once. She remembered the way, so she took Zhao Heng's hand and walked forward.

After the father and daughter left, Zhao Xuan looked away and returned to the yard to find Wang Chunniang.

Wang Chunniang and Lin Xiang were measuring Jiang Ting in the yard to prepare clothes. Seeing Zhao Xuan's anxious look, Wang Chunniang laughed and said, "Why are you as anxious as an ant on a hot pot? Your father is not a child, and nothing will happen to him."

of."

Zhao Xuan was annoyed, stopped talking, and sat quietly reading a book.

…………

In the evening, Zhao Heng came back with A Bao. A Bao excitedly jumped into Wang Chunniang's arms like a little bird, chirping: "Daddy and I walked around a lot today, mother, in the river to the east."

There are so many fish!”

"You just walked around the village?" Wang Chunniang asked.

Abao nodded his little head.

Zhao Heng didn't say anything and just sat aside. He was blind, but not mentally. This afternoon he visited all the places in the village. From Zhao's house, go straight west for 256 steps to Doctor Qian's house. Go straight

Ninety-eight steps and then turn right for fifty steps is Yang Dabao's house. When you go out, turn left forty-nine steps and you will see the river by the village.

The entire West Village seemed to be a map printed in his mind.

"Hey, you and your family are busy at work, right? Xuan, what are you reading?" While the family was talking, Xiu Cainiang poked her head out from the courtyard door and asked curiously.

Zhao Xuan looked up and saw the middle-aged woman staring sharply at the book in his hand. To be polite, he finally replied: "Zengguang Xianwen."

"What kind of book is this? Why have I never heard of it? Kid, let me tell you, it's useless to read these messy books. You have to read the Four Books and Five Classics. This is the exam for scholars. This is how my son passed the exam.

"Yes." The scholar lady said eloquently, and her saliva sprayed onto A Bao's face.

Abao took Zhao Heng's hand and whispered, "Dad, I'm going to wash my face."

Zhao Heng pulled her forward slowly.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Wang Chunniang recalled that when she "followed" Zhao Heng this morning, the scholar seemed to have asked about Zhao Heng's land purchase, but she still pretended not to know.

As soon as the scholar heard this, she immediately dragged the small wooden stool beside her and sat down.

But before her butt sat down, a sound of milk squealing sounded from far to near: "You can't sit here."

This is her chair, not for anyone else to sit on.

A Bao hugged the small wooden bench. There were two "ears" standing on the back of the small bench. This bench was specially bought for A Bao by Wang Chunniang in the county town. It is in the shape of a little rabbit.

"Abao, call Auntie." Wang Chunniang said.

Abao obediently called out: "Auntie."

The scholar lady was stunned for a moment, and then returned the small wooden chair to A Bao. Jiang Ting pushed a horse from the side, and the scholar lady sat down, and then said: "I heard that you are opening up wasteland for farming recently.

My son has become successful, and our family is going to live in the county town. We still have two acres of land by the river, so I thought you might as well buy it, and it would be good for both our families."

Wang Chunniang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I have seen the two acres of land in your home. It has been deserted for several years. It is waterlogged and scattered. The red amaranth in it has grown taller than a person. On such land, we

Even if you buy it, you won’t be able to grow crops.”

"No, there are so many weeds in our house because we haven't planted any crops in several years. As long as you clean it up, the land is very good and cheap, only two taels of silver per acre." The scholar's eyes moved intelligently.

"Sister-in-law, this is too expensive. Our family doesn't have much money, otherwise... we wouldn't be able to open up wasteland for farming." Wang Chunniang sighed, and while speaking, she took out a few pairs of small shoes from the basket next to her and said:

"Look, our Bao's shoes are all worn out. Two ounces per acre is too expensive. You'd better look at other places."

Abao was originally sitting on her little bunny bench, but she just heard her mother say that her shoes were torn again, so she jumped down from the chair and ran to Wang Chunniang's side, revealing

He killed his own feet.

"Mom, these pairs are also broken..." The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.

Wang Chunniang took a look and said, "What a guy! I just put on these shoes this afternoon. Doesn't their Abao have an iron foot? It's such a waste of shoes."

"Sister-in-law, have we been deceived by the cloth seller? Why is the cloth surface of these shoes so weak?" Lin Xiang said in surprise, she was the one who made these shoes.

Wang Chunniang pinched her eyebrows: "It's Abao's problem."

Abao frowned: "Why is it Abao's problem? Isn't it a problem with shoes?" As she said that, she moved her exposed toes.

"Let her wear a pair of straw sandals tomorrow." Zhao Heng replied.

The scholar lady nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's fine for the girl to wear straw sandals, not expensive cloth shoes."

Wang Chunniang was unhappy when she heard this.

"Sister-in-law, your land is too expensive. If we can't afford it, we won't let you have dinner." Wang Chunniang shook her head.

"The price is negotiable. How much do you want?" Xiucai Niang stood up and asked.

Her land was too waterlogged, and the crops didn't grow. She was still losing money, so she didn't want to give it away for free. However, if she could sell it to the Zhao family, she would make a profit from the sale.

"Just one tael of silver, our family agrees." Wang Chunniang turned back and looked at the scholar seriously.

Abao nuzzled his little nose and said hummingly: "Mom, one tael of silver can buy many pairs of shoes!"

"Chun Niang, are you serious about this?" Xiucai Niang's eyes lit up.

Wang Chunniang nodded.

"Okay, I'll get the land deed right now, and we'll pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." The scholar lady turned around and trotted out to the courtyard gate. She saw the two big brooms placed there by the Zhao family. They looked like new ones.

She glanced at it, then suddenly turned to look at Chun Niang, and asked with a smile: "Chun Niang, your family has two brooms... For the sake of selling your land cheaply, can you give me one?

?”

Abao came forward, looked at the scholar's face carefully, ran to Zhao Heng's side, sat down on Zhao Heng's lap, shook his short legs, and stared down at his broken legs.

Look at the shoes with a hole in them.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Xuan touched Abao's head and handed her a fruit.
