Amian made him a bowl.
No money was collected.
After all, the dates and the bucket were from his family, though she didn't intend to tell him.
After Meng Chijian finished drinking, he untied the hemp rope binding her feet. Only after they had sold everything did he carry the buckets and miscellaneous items home.
After selling them for two days, all the pears were sold out, and Ah Mian stopped making them.
At first, people tried it out of curiosity, and some even tried to sell the drink. But gradually, people stopped buying it.
That evening, Ah Mian was busy counting copper coins.
Meng Chijian forbade her to count the coins in bed, and not even after she had taken a bath. He thought the coins were dirty, so he washed them with spring water.
“How could money be dirty?” Lu Amian protested softly, but could only excitedly count the bag of copper coins in the woodshed.
"Fifty-six...fifty-seven..."
Ah Mian held her breath, becoming more and more excited as she counted, "Sixty-nine...seventy!"
In just two days, he earned seventy coins. Combined with the copper coins he had hidden before, Ah Mian's net worth has now reached one hundred coins!
This made her feel particularly good when she ate dinner and took a shower. Even when Meng Chijian insisted that she stay at home (this time emphasizing that she could not take any household items with her) for another three days, she happily agreed.
In reality, Meng Chijian discovered that she had gone to sell pear soup and that she had reopened the wound on her shoulder while carrying the buckets.
The next day, when Ah Mian was slurping down her corn porridge for breakfast, Meng Chijian took out an object and placed it in front of her.
"This one is a nine-linked ring; just solve them all."
It was originally a little gadget he made in his spare time. He wanted to bring it to Amian to play with after he returned from his trip to the countryside, but she kept messing with it. Now he's just taking it out to keep her entertained while she's stuck at home.
This thing is rare, especially for A-Mian, who has never had a proper toy before.
Meng Chijian added, "Your cousin sent an invitation to my shop. She's having her wedding banquet at a restaurant in town in the middle of this month. Do you want to go?"
"Let's go!" Ah Mian had been craving the banquet for a long time.
She fed the chickens in the morning, and Wuqian has now pulled through and grown up alongside its brothers and sisters.
After being confined at home for a few days, Ah Mian ate and drank her fill, and after finishing her chores, she played with the Nine Linked Rings puzzle. Now she can solve three of them.
Adou is busier than her these days, as she has to go into the city with Meng Chijian to transport goods from time to time.
Before we knew it, it was mid-month.
On this day, A-Mian changed into the new clothes and skirt she had bought earlier. Although she wore no jewelry, she looked fresh and elegant. Meng Chijian, standing next to her, wore a clean and neat short shirt and had his leggings tied properly. Although neither of them were wealthy, they had a kind of goodwill that made people want to befriend them at first glance.
After the two tidied up, A-Mian rode on A-Dou's back and played the nine-linked rings game, while Meng Chijian led the donkey into the city.
At this time of year, everyone holds wedding banquets at home, and wealthy families often hire people to handle the arrangements at their residences. Therefore, Lu Weiwei's wedding being held in a restaurant is a first in the town.
Once in the city, there were new sights to see, so Lu Amian stopped playing with her toys and joined the crowd.
Wow! That's quite a grand gesture!
Festive lanterns hung at the entrance of the restaurant, and the Zhang family relatives and people from Lujia Village came, making for a lively and bustling scene.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei, sitting in the sedan chair, had a red cloth covering her head, but her fingernails were deeply embedded in her palms.
She married into the Zhang family as she wished, thinking it would be a blessed place.
She still remembers the envy she felt when she saw Ah Mian dressed up as a beautiful bride and walking into the sedan chair in her dream.
However, it was only recently that I learned that the Zhang family's betrothal gifts were extremely meager, not even comparable to the traditional four rites of a countryman!
Her mother-in-law grabbed her hand and tearfully pleaded, "It's not easy for our family to support our son's education and exams. Please understand!"
