"By the way, mother, I want to discuss it with you. I plan to go to Changhuaizhou in the next two days to do some business and make some money."

"What? These two days? So urgent? The foundation will be dug on the second day of junior high school..."

"Mom, you can handle building the house. The most important thing is to go out and make money to support the family."

"Dabai, you, can't you do some small business in the town and county? You have to go to a place as far away as Changhuaizhou..."

"Mom, there are not many business opportunities to make money in small places. They are basically a carrot and a pit."

Yang Huamei held the apron around her waist with both hands, frowned and was silent for a while, then sighed and nodded.

"My mother doesn't know anything about business. You can just make up your own mind."

"Mom, I don't have any other requirements. Whether you can make money while you are away from home is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to take care of yourself. Safety comes first."

Dabai nodded vigorously.

"Mom, don't worry. My son will go and come back well. My son is still thinking about making money for my mother to enjoy!"

Yang Huamei smiled lovingly.

"Mom, I'll give you some money for expenses and expenses. How much will it cost? Do you have an idea?"

Dabai thought for a moment, "Mom, it's like this... After all, it's nearly five taels of silver."

"But the current situation at home is like this. We just bought a foundation for us. All the money for building the house has been thrown away. After deducting the five taels of silver for buying the foundation, I will definitely not be able to keep a penny for the remaining fifteen taels to build the house. What should I do?

Can you bear to ask my mother for so much money again? "

"Mom, just lend me three taels of silver. I will pick it up myself. Instead of staying in an inn, I will just buy two steamed buns every day. By the way, I want to take the bamboo tube at home with me when the time comes.

I just scoop up some cold water and throw it away. The weather is getting hotter and I can bear it. As long as I can save some money..."

Yang Huamei burst into tears when she heard this.

"My dear son, are you going to do business or begging?"

"You drink cold water from the ditch, eat hard steamed buns, sleep in bridge holes, and are chased by wild dogs. How can you live at home?"

Yang Huamei covered her mouth and couldn't speak anymore, but the tears flowed out like a river that had burst its embankment, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

Dabai quickly came up and hugged Yang Huamei's shoulders and coaxed her, "Mom, don't cry. There's nothing to feel bad about. What does it matter if I, a man, have to suffer a little? As long as you, the old and the young, can be safe and sound at home, I will suffer."

All happy!"

Yang Huamei raised her apron and wiped the tears and snot from her face, "Wait for me here."

After saying these words, Yang Huamei turned around and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

After a while she came back, closed the kitchen door, came to Dabai and thrust something wrapped in a handkerchief into his hand.

"Take it, my mother gave this to you."

"Mom, what is this?"

Dabai's tentacles felt that there were two ingots of silver wrapped in the veil.

"It's silver. Mom will give you ten taels. You keep it." Yang Huamei said.

"What? Ten taels? Mom, why did you give me so much money? I can only get eight taels if I am exhausted, but I can make do with five taels!"

Dabai's pupils were widened, and his voice could not be controlled. Before he could finish speaking, Yang Huamei covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shh!"

She made a silent gesture towards him, "Keep your voice down, or your brother will hear you later."

Dabai frowned and said nothing, and Yang Huamei took her hand back.

"From a poor family to a wealthy family, you heard me right, take them all with you. It will be the same if you bring them back when you don't need them."

Dabai's face was filled with confusion, and he seemed to hesitate for a while before nodding, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

"Mom, please wait a moment. I'll go back to the house to find some pen and paper and write an IOU to my mother."

"Why are you writing an IOU? This is what my mother gave you." Yang Huamei was a little unhappy.

But Dabai said seriously: "Mom, it's not convenient for my son to ask about your money, but it definitely didn't come from Baishui. My son wrote an IOU and he won't take it for free. When he makes money in the future, he will pay it back with interest."

After listening to Dabai's explanation, Yang Huamei's previous irritation suddenly disappeared, and her eyes were full of heartache for Dabai.

"My dear son, just keep the money your mother gave you and you won't need to write any IOUs."

"I am your mother. If I don't help you, who will help you in this world? My mother is willing to help you. You accept it, accept it!"

In the end, Dabai couldn't resist Yang Huamei. Not only did he accept the ten taels of silver, but he also didn't issue an IOU.

On the way back to the house, he held the money in his arms and felt really uncomfortable.

Is it appropriate that I keep cheating my mother out of her money like this?

But when I entered the house and saw Hongmei sleeping soundly and her swollen belly, the moisture in the corners of my eyes was forced to recede.

Throughout the ages, people who want to make a career have never made their first pot of gold in an honest way.

Even if the money was defrauded from his mother, there was nothing he could do.

When he makes money, he, Hongmei and their children will eat meat and bones, and his mother will also have a sip of hot soup.

When my mother gets old, even if Xiao Hei is unreliable, he will still provide for his mother until she is old!

Dabai packed his bags the next day, bid farewell to Changping Village under the reluctant eyes of Yang Huamei and Hongmei, and went to Changhuaizhou to do business alone.

At home, Yang Huamei hid her longing for her son in her heart, gathered her energy and concentrated on running the new house.

Regarding Xiao Hei's errand, she was too embarrassed to go to the Luo family and talk to Yang Ruoqing, so Xiao Hei reluctantly picked up the hoe and went to work in the fields every day amid Yang Huamei's urging and scolding.

As for Hongmei, her health has improved a lot, and she has resumed her honest duties as before. She diligently takes care of the housework at home every day, cooking food, rice, washing clothes, and cleaning the yard, so that Yang Huamei can concentrate on everything.

busy with things at home.

The Luo family's first batch of tea was also packed into trucks and sent to the capital by a transportation team.

This is the first errand of the transportation team in the spring of this year. The first trip is to the capital, where the emperor is at the feet. This is a good start.

So the Luo family specially prepared two tables of food and wine to treat them to dinner. When they set out early in the morning, Luo Fengtang bought firecrackers and fireworks and set them off on the roadside at the entrance of the village to practice for them.

Everyone's life continues on the track it should have.

In the room, Yang Ruoqing was sitting by the bed, sorting out the things Luo Fengtang had brought back.

On the bed was a baggage roll, which contained the laundry he had brought with him on this trip. There was also a basket on the stool beside the bed, and in the basket were the mountain goods brought by Xu Yuanming and his wife.
