Chapter 896: Overseer

She was wiping, and her mouth was still reading like a little daughter-in-law.

"I'm just here to go out for a walk, and I can't run, why are you in such a hurry! Look at this sweaty man! It wouldn't be good if he caught a cold!"

"Hehe!" Mu Erlang smiled and scratched his hair, "I'm not afraid that you are in a hurry, and you haven't eaten, what can you do if you're hungry?" He didn't want his little daughter-in-law to wait for him all the time hungry, and he had been worrying about his little daughter-in-law's stall all morning, afraid that she would be distressed and depressed because she couldn't sell it, and afraid that she would be bullied, if it weren't for the fact that he was relieved of Li Cai's family, he would not leave this morning, so as soon as he waited for the foreman to settle the morning's wages, he ran back without saying a word. But he was a little puzzled about what the big bag of things in his daughter-in-law's hand was! But it didn't matter, they had to take care of their stomachs first. He couldn't let his little daughter-in-law go hungry.

"Daughter-in-law, you shouldn't have eaten yet, let's go eat first, I've got my salary! Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat?" Mu Erlang looked like a big sum, and pulled Chi Tao Tao and walked forward.

"Hey, okay, by the way, there's a shop behind Erlang that sells chaos, I just passed by there, it smells so good? Let's go eat that, okay! Erlang!" Chi Taotao was said by Mu Erlang, and he also felt that he was hungry, and he thought of the tempting fragrance he had just smelled from the small shop he had just passed by.

"Does my daughter-in-law want to eat chaos? Hey, okay, I'll take my daughter-in-law to eat chaos, hehe," Mu Erlang had a black face, hehe, smiled, didn't say anything, and directly took a large bag of things in Chi Taotao's hand, and led Chi Taotao in the direction where she came.

"Well, eat chaos, Erlang, I see that there are still meat buns sold there? Let's wait and buy two to eat, well, bring some back to Xiaoshi, he will be very happy." ”

Chi Taotao is also very happy, she thinks that spending her own money to eat a meal, how to say, she will eat at ease, not like eating at someone else's house, she always feels a little flustered, and she won't eat at ease, so she doesn't want to eat at someone else's house, which is also the direct reason why she doesn't want to eat at Li Cai's house, saying that she wants to go out for a walk, now it's okay, Mu Erlang is back, they can go and eat a good meal to fill their stomachs.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you," Mu Erlang silently calculated the salary he had just received in his heart, nodded, and agreed directly. He generally won't refuse his little daughter-in-law's request, and it's not too much to ask, but it's all for his sake. He should have said yes.

This ancient thing is not as delicate as it is now, a bowl of three dollars is chaotic, fragrant and affordable, full of a big bowl, they also bought a few meat buns, and ate Chi Taotao and Mu Erlang until their mouths were full of oil, only full uh, infinitely satisfied.

"Daughter-in-law, why did you buy such a big bag of things?" After eating, Mu Erlang carried a large bag of things and walked back, and he finally couldn't help but ask,

He could feel that what he was carrying in his hand should be something in the fabric, because it was not heavy, but the fabric was a precious thing at first sight in these years, and the price could be imagined, so he actually wanted to ask more about his daughter-in-law's money, where could there be so many things. Did that thing sell well? But even though there are two people on this big road, it is not easy for him to ask directly.

"Oh, I've bought some cloth and rags to go home and make straw sandals for you, which are so hard that your feet are full of wounds. Chi Taotao took the few small buns that she had just packed at the Chaos Point, and said it directly without thinking about it. Straight took Mu Erlang's mind elsewhere.

She still understands the truth that this wealth is not revealed, she doesn't want to share the fruits of today's sales with him on this street, maybe it will scare him, but she still remembers the expression of the Wang family, she wants to go home and tell him in detail, well, go home and have a good time.

"I'm a big man, where can I be so delicate, don't so many people in the village also wear like this? Don't waste the cloth, you should tear some good ones, make clothes for you, blame me for not being capable, daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will work hard." When Mu Erlang heard his daughter-in-law say that it was some cheap rags, and he still had to make straw sandals when he bought it, he was moved by it.

Although the mouth is delaying, but this heart not to mention how sweet, this straw sandals are indeed different, with cloth, and without cloth, it is conceivable that it must be with cloth to wear on the feet more comfortable, not so hard and hurt the feet, some ingenious women want to add some unwanted rags to the straw sandals, wear more comfortable, but not everyone can wear it.

Some poor people will be reluctant to use the fabric on these, and some will not be able to play straw shoes, and need to spend money to buy them to wear, and the previous Mu Erlang belonged to the kind of people who had no money and no one, neither spare money to buy it, nor did anyone want to, or they wanted to call him, so most of the straw shoes he wore were made by himself, and some just wore them, where would he care if he was comfortable or not, but Chi Tao Tao has been different. , sure enough, the daughter-in-law is still good at home. So he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must let his daughter-in-law live a good life.

"Well, I'll wait, we'll definitely have a good life. Chi Taotao was not shy, smiled and said Okay, why can't she see it, this will only laugh The person is happy in his heart!

"Well, it'll pass," Mu Erlang nodded solemnly, and he looked decent. Fu said to himself, "That daughter-in-law, are we going back?" Well, no, I still have to buy some meat to go home and open meat, and the family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. ”

"Well, okay, the oil and salt at home are gone, let's go to my sister-in-law's house first, there is vinegar and sugar, and then I will go to see the meat." Chi Taotao was thinking in her heart, there was something missing at home, well, by the way, she had to bring some snacks back to Xiaoshi, she grew up from a child, and she knew their psychology.

"Well, these are all in Brother Li's store, let's go directly to his house to buy some!" Mu Erlang nodded, it is indeed yes! How can I live without these, I blame him for not cooking these days, and I don't know the situation at home.

As the sun set, they finally tossed for a busy day, Chi Tao Tao and the two of them finally finished buying the things they should buy, carrying a large bag of things that were not much different from when they came in the early morning, and embarked on the return journey with a smile on their faces to meet the afterglow of the sunset. Maybe they didn't even notice it, but the smiling faces of the two of them were particularly eye-catching in the reflection of the setting sun. How to say it, the sweetness makes people a little piercing. Of course, this is only in the eyes of some people who are not right-minded.

In the autumn season, the weather is gradually getting cooler, the breeze is gusting on the body, the chill spreads on her, Chi Taotao has been busy for such a day, faintly tired, and because she is now sitting on the ox cart, she is really sleepy and wants to sleep, but listening to the three aunts and six women next to her keep chattering about the length of the east family and the short of the west family, I can't wait to dig out the secret things in the ancestral grave of others, and also talk about entertainment, and I heard that Chi Taotao was depressed and upset. These women are boring people!

She admits that she also likes gossip, after all, everyone has a heart for gossip! She thinks it's really normal, after all, people are alive, and it's too normal to have some fun and talk about it, but she really can't bear it, they have the nature of personal attacks, especially the Liu family sitting next to her, how can she say it! Her mouth is too long, and even if her mouth is long, he has a very strong ability to reverse black and white!

For example, what they are discussing now, Li Dafu's family, to say that this Li Dafu is also a well-known figure in their village, to say that in the eyes of those villagers who lack food and drink, they are a small landlord-level figure, there are many people in the village who can't afford to buy land, most of them rent land in his house to live, like many landlords, everyone can guess, this Li Dafu! He is not a little different from that week's peeling, this is to deduct as much as you want, he is a master who takes money as his life, of course, there are more masters of money as his life. He is not the first, let alone the second, so that she has to admit that she is also a money-loving master.

Because their Li Zheng is also the relationship between the children of the Li family, this Li Dafu Xu thinks that he can't get up, so he really doesn't do any bad things, and he always makes the villagers angry and dare not speak.

Let's take some examples of renting land! He relied on the family to have a few money, and his younger brother was the relationship in the village, and no one could control her, so he rented the land to the villagers with such a rule, every year when the harvest came, the rent he collected should account for sixty percent of the total harvest, and he would account for sixty percent of the income in the field, and his heart was also very small, as if he was afraid that the villagers would cheat and play tricks, and once the harvest was up to the time, he would take the slaves of the family, swinging the folding fan and sitting leisurely on the carriage, to the scene. "Overseer," what is the so-called overseer? That is conceivable.

Therefore, the peasants are looking forward to the day of the harvest, and they are also afraid that when the day of the harvest comes, most of the fruits of their labor all year round facing the loess and facing the sky will be distributed to this hateful landlord, and the rest will be enough for their own families.
