Chapter 362 I Miss You So Much
Lin Huanyin drove the carriage back to Linjia Village. Sitting next to her were two girls who had just returned from Qingzhou.
Two horses and a large carriage with room for luggage on the roof. This time they brought two hundred bags of potato chips and one hundred bags of popcorn, one hundred bags each of preserved plums, half plums, dried peaches, fruit leather, dried cherry tomatoes and dried strawberries.
There were fifty packages of pork jerky and shachima, biscuits of various flavors, and finally fifty jars of plum wine, fifty jars of mulberry wine, fifty jars of wine, and thirty jars of strawberry wine.
It took them three days to go back and forth, and all the goods were sold out, earning a total of 112 taels of silver.
They were not sold at too high a price. The price of most goods increased by twenty to fifty wen on top of their original prices, with only the price of wine increased by one hundred wen.
The items sold very quickly. The next morning, she hung up the price tags she had prepared in advance. In about half an hour, most of the items were sold out, and the wine was sold out immediately.
All the items were sold out in just one morning.
Lin Huanyin immediately went to the money shop and exchanged a box of copper coins and silver for a silver note worth one hundred taels. She then put it and the remaining twelve taels of silver in her purse and then stuffed it into the lining of her clothes around her waist.
It was the first time she carried so much money, and her hands were shaking.
They were not in a hurry to go back that day, because if they set out in the afternoon, they would have to travel at night, so they stayed at the Qiulai Inn until the third morning and set out before dawn.
It was broad daylight, with the seventh-rank official flag hanging on the carriage, and the two girls had long swords on their waists, so they didn't encounter any robbers on the way back.
It was not until the carriage drove into Nanshan City that their tense nerves relaxed.
Now driving the carriage on the road back to the farm, they completely relaxed their guard and sat casually.
But after sitting for a while, they sat down again immediately.
Because they saw a familiar figure walking towards them on the side of the road, and the woman in the bamboo hat looked up when she got closer.
"Master!"
Lin Jiaojiao was wearing a bamboo hat and walking on the road with a bamboo basket on her back. She did not let Lan Yi follow her, but walked towards the bamboo forest with an empty mind.
She wanted to go see Lin Shen. She hadn't been there for a month, and the grass on his grave must have grown tall again.
It was not until the carriage approached that she came to her senses and looked up, and heard the girl's excited voice.
"You're back so early? Did anything go wrong on the way?"
Lin Huanyin hurriedly stopped the carriage and said, "No, everything went smoothly along the way. The things we brought were sold out the next morning, and we got 112 taels of silver."
After she finished speaking, she excitedly took out her purse from the lining of her clothes. Lin Jiaojiao smiled.
"No need to check it for me. You've worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."
"Boss, it's not hard. Hehe, let's go back first."
Lin Huanyin knew she was going to be busy when she saw her outfit, so she didn't bother her any more and drove the carriage to the farm to finish her work early and rest early.
After seeing them leave, Lin Jiaojiao continued walking towards the bamboo forest.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, she saw a small mound covered with weeds. She sighed, put down the basket, took out a pair of cloth gloves and put them on, then picked up the sickle and walked over.
"Are you blaming me for not visiting you for so long? So many weeds have grown in just one month. It's more work for me to do..."
She complained while mowing the grass skillfully. After a while, the small mound of earth and the surrounding weeds were cleared away. She then stood up and patted her lower back.
"Don't make it this long next time. I haven't worked for a long time and I'm really hot and tired."
She threw the sickle back into the bamboo basket, took off her gloves and threw them in too, took out a wet towel from the bamboo basket, walked to the stone tablet, picked up the dusty bowl and started to wipe it.
"Did you like the strawberries I had last time? I think you did, because your bowl is now empty. But this time I brought you some cherry tomatoes, which are also grown in our farm garden. Of course, they're not as delicious as strawberries, so I'll give them to you to try."
After she finished speaking, she wiped the bowl clean, took out a bag of cherry tomatoes from the bamboo basket and poured them into the bowl, filling the bowl with red and yellow tomatoes.
Then he took out a cigarette, lit it, stuck it next to the stone tablet, and started burning paper money, while also telling a joke.
"Look how good I am to you. I've spent a lot of money on you. You must be the richest man in the underworld now."
"I forgot to tell you that I am now an official, a sixth-rank official, but it's just a title, it's pretty good and I don't have to go to work."
"Xiao Yun will take the imperial examination in a little over a month. I'm sorry I can't go see her for you."
Because Fu Qi needed someone to stay with her during that period of time due to her delivery.
"But I promise you, I will definitely accompany Xiaoyun to Beijing to take the exam next spring. I haven't even been to Kyoto yet, thanks to Xiaoyun."
"Actually, I've been quite anxious recently. My elder brother hasn't even had prenatal anxiety, but I do."
"My brother's belly is so big. What should I do if something unexpected happens? The medical conditions here are limited. I'm really scared. I've been secretly reading books about caesarean sections recently, but the more I read, the more anxious I get..."
"Hey, don't think I'm annoying. I can only say these words to you."
"Lin Shen, I miss you a lot."
...
In the girls' dormitory on the farm.
A group of people gathered in a room, curiously listening to Lin Huanyin talk about the customs and culture of Qingzhou. The more they listened, the more they yearned for it.
"You and Lin Shanshan are so lucky. One of you went to Qingzhou and the other went to Luzhou. Did your monthly salary increase?"
Lin Huanyin first glanced at Lin Fen, then scratched her head embarrassedly.
"It should have increased. We won't know until we get our salary at the beginning of the month."
The others obviously didn't believe it and started to make a fuss.
"Are you still good sisters? You didn't even tell us this."
"I guess there are more than two taels of silver. I'm rich."
"If you ask me, Yang Yan must be regretting it now..."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet. The woman who said this realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject. The others also cooperated and skipped this topic. Until Lin Shanshan came back from next door, they all ran to the next door again.
After seeing them all leave, Lin Huanyin let out a breath and said to Lin Fen who was making the bed opposite her.
"Thank you, Sister Lin Fen. I have heard about it. If you hadn't refused, it wouldn't have been my turn. Thank you so much."
Lin Fen brushed the dust off the straw mat with a handkerchief and answered calmly.
"Don't thank me. Even if I wasn't there, you would have been on the next route sooner or later. If you want to thank someone, thank the boss and Manager Lin. It's their recognition and trust in your work."
As soon as Lin Huanyin left, the delivery route to Nanshan Zhiwei became vacant, and she was transferred there.
