After eating, after Li Zheng and the others left, Old Man Shen called a large family to gather in the upper room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The autumn harvest is coming soon, the first two years were not good, first the flood and then the drought, our family fortunately has a little grain, our village is not as serious as other places, in order to get through the two years of hardship, this year finally has a good harvest. Now that the families have been divided, the grain harvested this year will be divided according to the fields that have just been divided, and whoever has the land will have the grain to whoever, do you have any opinions?"
The brothers said in unison: "No opinion".
"Let's harvest this year's grain together!" Old Man Shen instructed: "From tomorrow, children over the age of eight and adults must go down to the ground to harvest, and no one can be left behind, and the big house and the family must also go." The weather has been good for a while, and many old people in the village are guessing that it will rain in a few days, so we have to quickly collect the grain, dry it and put it in the warehouse. ”
When Xiao'er heard this, she had to remind her grandfather again: "Grandpa, my mother is still in confinement, and she can't work, otherwise she will fall ill, and she will be in trouble when she gets old in the future." ”
Shen Zhuang's was angry: "The black-hearted, this Zhuang family, who doesn't have to work for the whole family when they grab the harvest, I am from heaven to earth, and I don't want to serve your family, you are not afraid of losing your life when you lie in bed as a whole?"
"The third daughter-in-law does not need it, and special treatment is given in special circumstances. Old man Shen glared at Shen Zhuang, and after a while, she began to make a fuss again.
The Li family is also not happy, the people in a few rooms, the big room is a foil, it is better to work than to make trouble. The three-bedroom, two-person family and two children are capable, but the Liu family does not have to work only one main laborer, and there are only two people in the fourth room. There are many people in their second room, so they don't do all the work. Now that the family has been separated, she is reluctant to help others work: "Dad, since the family has been separated, the crops on the ground are also owned by each family, and of course each family's crops are harvested by themselves." ”
Old Man Shen directly ignored Li's words, the daughter-in-law of the second family just didn't stop, and she didn't want to eat at all. He turned his head to Shen Zhuang and said, "Old woman, starting tomorrow, you must take care of enough meals for three meals, and you must have at least one meat dish for lunch and dinner."
Shen Zhuangshi was not happy when he heard this: "The food must be enough to manage the full, and there is meat for every meal, and the silver has been divided, where did I get the silver to get rice, the guy who has a black heart and liver, and is rotten in the water, I still have to take care of their food at a young age, even if I don't eat it, anyway, the family has been separated, just go back to each family to eat after finishing work." ”
Old Man Shen's head hurts, this old man, the young one, are not sensible, and they don't stop for a moment.
"I say whatever I say, why don't you keep messing around!"
"I'm messing around, I'm giving birth to children for you, taking care of the housework, how much suffering I have suffered with you, how many sins I have suffered, and when I get old, you start to dislike me, oh my God, what kind of sin have I done, I ......"
"Okay, it's unreasonable, don't call the sky and grab the earth anymore, this new grain has not been confiscated, and the rest of the grain is in your hands, how can you eat your own food? Or you can share the rest of the grain with everyone!" Old man Shen has exploded his lungs in the past two days.
Hearing this, Shen Zhuang's family immediately stopped shouting, the Shen family was under her control, every meal was very economical, and the year before last, she also took advantage of the cheap grain to buy a few stones of grain, and now there is still a lot of surplus grain, even if it is harvested for a month, for a large family to eat, it is not finished.
Old Man Shen really intercepted her death hole this time, so the one who knows Shen Zhuang best is still Old Man Shen.
And Li listened to Old Man Shen's words, his eyes lit up a little, and just as he wanted to speak, Old Man Shen took the lead: "The matter is so decided, who still has an opinion, who will serve everyone to eat during the harvest period, I don't care." Now everyone goes back and rests and gets up early tomorrow to work. ”
Hearing this, Li didn't dare to speak out, but he was very unconvinced.
After Xiao'er returned to her room, she closed the door and entered the space, first taking a bath in the stream of the space. Then she managed the space: last night she collected some medicinal seeds for the space, first planted an acre of ginseng, an acre of Ganoderma lucidum, planted an acre of other common herbs, and also went to the Shen family's warehouse to secretly take some rice, wheat, corn, and other vegetable seeds to plant an acre of land. Now that the ginseng and lingzhi have grown, and the other herbs can be harvested, rice, wheat, corn and other vegetables can be harvested, those vegetables have bloomed, and the seeds have borne seeds, and the seeds have fallen to the ground, and new vegetables have grown, and these new vegetables are just right to eat now, Xiao'er immediately collected what can be harvested, which is too fast to ripen!
Then he planted an acre of rice from the harvest. Then she went to Huaguo Mountain, harvested all the flowers and fruits, and put them into the cave. The litter of rabbits in the pasture is also the master who can give birth, and she has seen more than a dozen rabbits.
She took a few fruits, sat down on the edge of the stone pond under the Sanssouci tree, and ate them. Today she is very happy, the Shen family has finally separated, and she doesn't have to find a way to divide it herself, which saves a lot of effort. After the autumn harvest, she can take her family to work hard to make money and make a fortune. You have to find a way to take out some of the things in the space and give them something to eat. The days to come will surely become more and more comfortable.
The space is magical, there are no seasons, no night, always warm as spring, the sun is shining, and the climate is pleasant. After Xiao'er finished eating the fruit, she lay down on the edge of the stone pool, and fell asleep before she knew it.
In another room in the west wing, Shen Chengyao and his wife have not slept yet, they are still discussing today's separation, and planning how to make money, how to save money, and when they save enough money, they will provide Jing Hao to study. The two talked, and then talked about the autumn harvest, Liu thought about helping to cook at home, Shen Chengyao disagreed, and felt that Liu would definitely disobey the yin, so he said: "I will send you and my little sister back to your parents' house early tomorrow morning, and then pick you up after the autumn harvest." It's been a long time since you've been back to your parents' house. Liu thought about it and agreed. The two talked for a while about what they were going to do after they separated, and then they both fell asleep with a vision of the future.
Shen Chengzu and his wife also discussed similar topics.
And the east wing, the big house family is the happiest, the Lan family and Shen Bao'er are very excited, they finally got rid of this group of poor relatives, and in the future, the two of them finally don't even dare to bring more gold and silver jewelry, they always hide it, and they live a very closed life. And every time they come back, they eat at the same table with a large number of countrymen, they all feel dirty, it would be more perfect if Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang didn't live with their family, but no, those fields are worth dozens of taels of silver.
"Wen'er's father, my father said that Wen'er will be able to show off his talents this time, and he will be promoted again in the spring of next year and become an official; Lan felt so happy that he wanted to jump when he thought about it.
Lan's father is the master of a private school in the town, and he is also from Xiucai. Shen Zhuang's family also looked up to her because of this. The Lan family also feels that she is the daughter of Xiucai, so she is superior to others, and she has always looked down on the Shen family's gang of rural mud legs. Under the influence of Lan's thoughts, Shen Baoer also felt that she was a young lady, so she was not close to her cousins, and even felt that talking to them was a bad thing.
Back then, Master Lan also felt that Shen Chengguang had a bit of talent for reading, and he was willing to work hard, so he married his daughter. Who knew that after more than ten years of examination, he didn't even get into the show. Fortunately, his grandson was angry, and he was born at a young age, and even the master of the academy said that he should be able to show off his talents next year.
