After meeting with Sankui and others, Zhang Ran purchased some wheat, some salt and some onion and ginger seasonings in the market, and bought a few brand new iron hoes in the blacksmith shop. Then he went to the cloth market and bought a piece of fine cloth and a piece of silk. He planned to take it back and let his mother make some new clothes.

In the past, Zhang Ran had no money at home, so he could only eat bean soup and wear coarse linen clothes... Now that he has a huge amount of money and has money, he naturally has to buy everything he wanted to buy but had no money to buy home.

This big purchase lasted for more than two hours. When Zhang Ran and his friends came out of the market, the sun began to set in the west.

After returning to Zhang Erniu's restaurant with two trucks of goods, Zhang Ran politely rejected Zhang Erniu's kindness to keep him, took Zhang Shan, Sankui and others to drive out of Xinfeng County in a donkey cart and headed straight for Zhangli.

When he returned to Zhangli, it was already dark. Zhang Ran directed everyone to unload the donkey cart and asked Zhang Shan to lead the donkey to the backyard.

Then, taking advantage of the slightest light of the sky, I hurriedly took Sankui and others to choose a relatively large open space in the backyard, surrounded it with a fence, and placed the chicks and piglets inside.

After the work was over, it was completely dark. Zhang Ran considered that it was quite hard for everyone to travel with him for a day, so he asked his mother Zhang Li to cook some mutton, stew a big pot of fish soup, and cook a pot of noodles himself, which rewarded everyone with great help.

After dinner, when Sankui and others returned home, they found the two pieces of cloth, carried them to their mother, and said to her: "Mother, when I went to the city to buy today, I bought one piece of cloth and silk from the cloth city. Do you see when you have time? Make two sets of new clothes for each of our family!"

"New clothes!?"

As soon as he heard that there might be new clothes to wear, Suier suddenly lit up her eyes and ran to Zhang Ran excitedly. She couldn't wait to stretch out her little hand and stroke the silk woven from the silk in Zhang Ran's arms (the silk, the true silk, both white), and her eyes shone: "So smooth, so beautiful! Brother, do we want to use such beautiful silk to make new clothes?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ran hugged the cloth tightly with one hand, reached over his sister's head with the other, rubbed Xuer's hair and said, "We have money now, so we don't have to feel wronged. Look at how your clothes are torn, and it's time to change them to a new one."

"Very good!"

Zhang Sui'er cheered, turned around and ran to her mother, hugged Zhang Li's arm, and said softly: "Mother, mother, have you heard it? My brother bought cloth and wanted to make new clothes for us!"

"I heard it, I heard it!" Zhang Li reached out and hugged her daughter, stroked Sui'er's back lovingly, and replied with a smile on his face.

Zhang Sui'er was even happier after hearing her mother's answer. She couldn't help but raise her head and asked happily: "Well, when will you make new clothes for us? This old clothes have been worn for a long time, so it's too shabby...I want to wear new clothes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li couldn't help but look down at the old clothes made of Zhang Ran's body, which had been worn for two or three years, and had patches all over his body, and was worn very badly. His nose was sore and he almost burst into tears.

"Tomorrow, my mother will make new clothes for you tomorrow!"

As he said that, Zhang Li turned his head, smeared the corners of his eyes, then gently pushed away the Sui'er, stood up and quickly took the two pieces of cloth from Zhang Ran's hand.

After holding the cloth into his arms, Zhang Li reached out and stroked the smooth silk on the top, and slowly said, "So much cloth is enough to make two new sets of clothes for each of us. Ran'er, this will cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's only less than a thousand dollars. We have money now and can afford it!"

Then, Zhang Ran said to his mother: "Mother, we have money now. I plan to renovate the house and build a few chicken coops or donkey sheds in the backyard... Otherwise, there will be no place for the donkeys and chicken coops I bought today!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Li's body froze slightly. His hand that was originally holding Si Bo stopped. Then, Zhang Li suddenly raised his head and said to Zhang Ran: "Ran'er, what did you say just now? Did you buy that donkey cart? Did you rent it or borrow it?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ran nodded and said innocently: "Didn't I tell you? We went to Xinfeng today to buy a donkey and come back to pull the mill!"

"Pull the mill..." Zhang Li looked at Zhang Ran hesitantly, and asked with a look of suspicion: "Did you really buy a donkey to pull the mill? Moreover, the gold you gave me last time is still here with me. Where did the money you bought the donkey come from?"

"That's it," Zhang Ran hesitated for a moment and replied, "My mother, that money is earned by selling flour. You haven't seen it. Now we cooperate with Brother Erniu to start the pasta business so popular! I dare not say that the daily money is, but I can still make it a few hundred yuan a day. As long as this business continues to be done, even if it's tens of thousands or tens of thousands a day, it's not impossible. We have money now and will make more money in the future, so why bother ourselves? It's just that I bought two donkeys and came back to pull the mills. How much money can I spend?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran added: "Our house has not been repaired for a long time. It leaked last time it rained, and I don't think it's easy to repair it! I happened to have made a lot of money recently, so I just started a new stove and built a few more houses!"

"No!" Zhang Li denied Zhang Ran's suggestion and glared at Zhang Ran fiercely and said, "That ten gold is for the future to be used for marriage. You must not spend it indiscriminately! Our house is well lived in, and it will be fine if it leaks rain and repairs tomorrow. Why do you need to build it again if it is in vain? Besides, such a good house is demolished, it would be a pity!"

When Zhang Ran heard this, he was a little amused and hurriedly said, "Who said he wanted to remove it? I just said that I would start a new stove and build a few better ones, but I didn't say that I would remove the old ones! What's more, if the house is demolished now, where will we live!"

In order to convince the mother to agree with her plan, Zhang Ran explained to her mother: "Mother, let me tell you the truth. It is not possible to not build this new house, otherwise there will be no place for newly bought animals to live in! Moreover, as our pasta business grows bigger and bigger in the future, we will definitely need more and more flour. You can't let Zhang Shan and others squeeze in the backyard! Therefore, only by expanding the backyard can we accommodate more stone mills, grind more flour, and make more money! Do you think this is the case?"

"Okay...it seems right?" Zhang Li said with some uncertainty.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "From the actual situation, it's not OK to expand this backyard. Since it's going to be expanded, it's better to build the house together. If it's done at one time, it's easier to save trouble and save money, wouldn't it be better?"

After hearing Zhang Ran's words, Zhang Li couldn't help but sigh and said, "Since my son said that, then you are like you. However, I want to tell you that although you have made a lot of money recently, you should not waste it at will, otherwise I will not forgive you!"

Seeing that his mother gave up, Zhang Ran couldn't help but answer happily: "Don't worry, mother! We can't save money we should spend, but I won't waste any money we shouldn't spend!"

"Um!"
