Chapter 22 The First Money
Tangchi almost forgot that he would also meet Zhong Cheng and those three little gangsters when he went back. He felt that Uncle Wen was very attentive and thoughtful.
When leaving, she specifically glanced at the flower window in the corridor.
I originally wanted to buy salt as soon as I got the money, but I thought the salt was too expensive and the money was gone all of a sudden, so Tangchi hesitated and decided to go back first.
After leaving the city, Tangchi touched the hard money in his arms, feeling indescribably satisfied. He decided to go back and count it carefully, and then plan how to spend it wisely.
The way home was still not that smooth. Walking through the east of the village, Tangchi could still hear the women talking about her in groups who were fine.
However, Tangchi was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with them.
After returning home, Tangchi immediately closed the door and entered the house. He closed the door again, sat on the bedside, took out the bunch of money from his arms and counted it.
So much money...
The first money...
Tangchi thought this way, but his hands shook and he miscounted several times.
It took me four times to count the forty-eight copper coins in the soup pool.
After counting, she rolled happily on the bed holding forty-eight coins, and then decided to save the money first and slowly think about how to spend it.
As for where to put it, Tangchi was confused again.
There are only a few things in the whole house. Hiding them in the pot or stove is not very reliable. Burying them in her vegetable garden makes Tangchi feel insecure.
Finally, she hid the money under her pillow.
With these forty-eight copper coins as her company, she slept particularly well that night.
The next day, Tangchi also let himself take a rest and slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
As usual, after eating some mushrooms, she found a rusty shovel in the corner of the yard, went to the vegetable patch to dig up the soil, and then carefully planted the pumpkin seeds as Widow Zhang said.
In the ground.
She finally realized the joy of sowing.
After finishing my work, the sun has started to set.
The setting sun illuminated her yellow and thin face red, and the sweat on her forehead glowed under the red sun.
At this moment, Tangchi was squatting in the ground and looking at the moist soil devoutly, with a smile on his lips, as if he was seeing the scene when each pumpkin grew.
In the next few days, Tangchi became a real homebody. She ate boiled mushrooms every day and went to the fields to look at her pumpkin seeds as soon as she got up. It was not until the thirteenth day that she carried a bamboo basket on her back and went into the mountains.
.
I don’t know the name of this mountain, but Tangchi named it Tangshan privately.
The mountain that her soup pool used to make a fortune.
After getting the money, Tangchi had hope and became more courageous. After picking some mushrooms, Tangchi put the bamboo basket on the spot, then bravely pushed aside the thick bushes and walked slowly inside.
Early in the morning on the 15th, Tangchi entered the city carrying a bamboo basket of mushrooms.
Perhaps because he often goes to the mountains recently, Tangchi found that his physical strength seemed to be better than before, and he took much less rest on the road.
This time, only Liu Shi came to pick her up.
"Brother Liu, why didn't Brother Wu come?" Tang Chi asked as he followed Liu Shi with a bamboo basket on his back.
"The magistrate asked him to do something."
Tangchi nodded and asked no more questions.
Entering the backyard of the magistrate's house through the back door, Tang Chi handed the mushrooms to Liu Shi, while he still stood in the open space waiting.
