Chapter 208: Harvest

Qian Yuelai not only helped the Xia family buy a suitable large livestock, but he also said that even the big car was also optimistic, and it was also from a family he knew. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

“…… The old one has only been used for a few years, and it is not much different from the new one, and the price is not old or young. Qian Yuelai said to Old Man Xia and Third Uncle Xia, "Godmaster, Third Uncle, I'll take you to see when I have time." ”

Old Man Xia was very happy, and he waved his hand at Qian Yuelai. "What else do you look at, if you look at it for a month, then it will work. Bring it directly to the house, and you don't have to negotiate the price with me, you just have to call the shots. ”

Qian Yuelai has done everything to this extent, and Old Man Xia has also given him corresponding trust and dependence.

"That's right," Uncle Xia San also nodded with a smile, "In the past month, we don't know much about the big car, just listen to you." ”

"That's fine. Qian Yuelai didn't pretend to be polite, nodded very seriously, and planned to take the time to pull the car in the next two days.

Xia Zhi silently calculated in his heart, two mules, two carts, and their family was adding money to this labor, and it seemed that a few years of wheat could be returned to the family in advance.

Thinking about it this way, how can Xia Solstice not be happy. She discussed with Mr. Xia: "Master, then I'll go home and tell my grandmother that my brother is here, and I have to let my grandmother fry the two dishes." ”

"Let's go. Old Man Xia smiled and nodded.

Xia Zhi also asked Qian Yuelai: "Brother Yuelai, what do you rarely eat?"

"You can eat anything. Qian Yue came to say.

The big guys laughed.

Xia Zhi took Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Xialin, and followed Daqing by his side, talking and laughing all the way back home. These days' work is not too rushed, although the big guy is still working in one place, he is not eating in one place. It's just that the little black fish occasionally comes to eat here on the summer solstice, and sometimes pulls the summer solstice to the backyard to eat.

Qian Yue came, and Xia Zhi went to the backyard first and told Mrs. Xia about the matter.

"Then I'll hurry up and prepare the meal. Sixteen, you'll eat here in a moment. Mrs. Xia was sitting on the kang embroidering purse, and after listening to Xia Zhi's words, she hurriedly put on her shoes and went to the ground to start working.

As for Mrs. Xia to leave her for dinner, what else did Xia Zhi say, and the little black fish rushed to answer for her. "Sixteen must eat here. ”

Xia Zhi smiled and didn't say anything.

"That's right. "Mrs. Xia is the summer solstice, this is the default. Then, she thought of another thing, "The mules were brought home, and they helped to advance the deposit, so I had to hurry up and prepare money for them." ”

Xia Zhi nodded: "In my opinion, the money of the mule can be slowed down." Just give it to him when Brother Yuelai leaves, and the money for the cart must be given first. Brother Yue Lai went to someone to pull the car, and it was best to give the money to someone at that time. ”

"Yes, that's right. Old Lady Xia nodded.

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they saw Old Man Xia, Aunt Xia, and Layue coming back on their feet. Old man Xia is very willing to work, and he goes to the yard early in the morning, and no one in the middle is urging him, and he is not willing to go home for dinner. Coming back suddenly at this time, there must be something.

Sure enough, as soon as Old Man Xia entered the house, he told Old Mrs. Xia to ask her to take out the money saved at home. "The money for the mule, and the money for the cart, we have to hurry up and prepare it for the child who came to the moon. ”

"I still need you to say that Sixteen and I were discussing this matter just now. Mrs. Xia smiled and opened the box to withdraw the money. The money that Mrs. Xia took out was all neat silver horns, and I don't know how long the old couple had saved their savings.

Aunt Xia San went to her own house in the West Wing for a while, and when she came to the room, she and Layue carried a money bag in their hands.

At that time, it was said that the three of them would tie up this big car together, so Aunt Xia San was here to send them their share of the money. Seeing the silver horn that Mrs. Xia put out, Aunt Xia was a little embarrassed when she took the money out of the money bag

"I didn't expect to do things so neatly in the past month, and I thought that at least I had to fall in autumn......" Aunt Xia took out most of the copper coins, as well as a few pieces of silver, which looked similar in size. What she meant, if she knew that Qian Yue was coming so quickly, she would go with Uncle Xia to exchange the copper coins for silver, which would also make it easier for Qian Yue to come and go.

"You two have some emergency money for yourself. It's not enough, I'll put it on you first~ Mother. Old Man Xia said.

"Enough. Aunt Xia San agreed, and smiled shyly, "The money from selling pigs hasn't been touched all these years." ”

Xia Zhi could see that those copper coins should have been saved by Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San doing odd jobs. As for those broken silver pieces, it should be what Aunt Xia said, the money from selling pigs every year.

Looking at the copper coins and silver that Aunt Xia took out, although they were scattered, they were neatly organized, you knew that Aunt Xia was a person who was very good at living.

Old Man Xia was obviously also very emotional, and he couldn't help but turn his head and praise Xia Zhi: "Your third uncle and third aunt are people who are passing through their days. ”

Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San are hardworking and capable, they usually save money, and the money they earn is never spent casually, but they are saved little by little. In contrast, Xia Xiucai also has ten acres of land, and at the same time has the income of the academy, but over the years, he has no savings at all.

If Xia Xiucai is here, I don't know if he will be embarrassed.

Seeing that Aunt Xia San counted out all the money, Old Man Xia asked Xia Zhi again: "Sixteen, I'll help you put on your share of the money first." ”

Although Xia Zhi usually spends money quite generously, no matter how they look at the old man Xia, they can't see where Xia Zhi can come up with six taels of silver at once.

"No, I don't. Xia Zhi said with a smile, she just watched Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia take money out, and then she thought about how they earned their money and how they saved it, and almost forgot that she should also hurry out to get money.

Xia Zhi reached out to his neckline and took off the silver cleats that he had been wearing closely. She didn't shy away from the few people present, so she opened the lock plate in front of them and took out a small paper roll from it.

Then, Xia Zhi flattened the paper roll and handed it to Old Man Xia.

"Silver ticket!" Of course, Old Man Xia knew Silver Ticket.

Several other people present were dumbfounded, thinking that Xia Solstice was like a trick. Only the little black fish was not surprised, and was still laughing beside him.

"Sixteen, what are you ......" Aunt Xia, who had never spoken much, couldn't help but ask.

"It's too inconvenient to carry the silver with you, so I exchanged the silver ticket in the city. Xia Zhi smiled slightly, "There are many girls and daughters-in-law in Fucheng, and they all hide their money in this way." ”

Mrs. Xia nodded: "I've heard from someone." She'd only heard it before, but it was the first time she'd seen it with her own eyes. Not to mention Aunt Xia and Layue, not only have they never seen each other, but it is also the first time they have heard someone talk about this.

Looking at the surprised and curious eyes of the three people, Xia Zhi simply handed the lock plate into the hands of the three people and asked them to look at it carefully and slowly.

"There are also bracelets and hairpins like this, which can hide things. ”

Mrs. Xia and the others were watching the lock plate next to them, and Xia Zhi smiled and talked to Old Man Xia again. "Master, I have ten taels of silver, and you have to find me four taels. ”

"Okay. After all, Old Man Xia has seen more of the world than Old Lady Xia, and he is not surprised in his heart, but he doesn't show it too much on the surface. He also asked Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, do you want silver, or copper coins?"

"I have enough copper coins in my hand for the time being, so let's ask for silver. Xia Zhi didn't say politely to Old Man Xia, "Master, just your silver horn, I won't take it home, I'll store it with you and my grandmother first." ”

"Okay. Old Man Xia nodded.

Mrs. Xia had already handed over the lock plate to Aunt Xia and Layue at this time, and when she heard what Xia Zhi and Old Man Xia said, she hurriedly came over to give Xia Zhi some silver.

After ordering the silver, Mrs. Xia did not put it back in her money box, but took out the box of the little black fish, locked the four taels of silver into it, and then gave the key to Xia Zhi.

"Put it in your uncle's box, when you want to use it, take it yourself. ”

"That's fine. "The summer solstice put the key close to him.

Layue took the silver lock piece and handed it back to Xia Zhi, watched Xia Zhi tie the silver lock piece and wear it closely. Layue's eyes were shining.

"Layue, you embroider your purse well, and slowly save enough money, you can also buy this. Xia Solstice said.

"Hmm. Layue nodded heavily, secretly determined to work harder and save money in the future.

Old Man Xia asked Mrs. Xia to wrap up all the silver of the three families, and then said to Xia Zhi and Third Uncle Xia: "We estimate that it is eighteen taels, and it doesn't take so much depending on the current situation." It's thanks to the kid for months. …… The money is put here first, and with a little more money, you can't let the child lose money in the month. When I have the rest, I will return it to you. ”

"Listen to Daddy. Aunt Xia nodded obediently, leaving Layue to help Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi cook, and she went back to work in the courtyard first.

Old Man Xia stayed for a while and told Old Lady Xia and Xia Zhi to prepare the meal harder. "This kid comes to the month, let's take a look at it. ”

"That's for sure. Mrs. Xia nodded, and she also had a very good impression of Qian Yuelai.

At noon, Old Man Xia came back from the yard with Qian Yuelai, and as soon as he walked to the street, he smelled the aroma of the fryer wafting from his yard in the distance. Old Man Xia nodded secretly all over the ground.

When I got home, sure enough, Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia had already prepared all the meals.

Because Qian Yue is here, at noon today, Old Man Xia also called Uncle Xia's family, as well as Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er to eat in the backyard.

After eating, Old Man Xia took out the silver and gave it to Qian Yuelai in front of the big guy. Qian Yuelai had long heard his grandfather Mr. Qian say that Mr. Xia was kind and thoughtful. Doing things with someone like Mr. Xia is the most reassuring and comfortable. He would never let anyone suffer.

After several contacts with the Xia family, Qian Yuelai was deeply touched by this.

"Godmaster, I don't need this money. Qian Yuelai hurriedly said to Old Man Xia, "You don't have to give it all in a pile." ”

"What if people wait for the money? It's not that we don't have money, but we still give it all, and we are both relieved. Old Man Xia said, "You can use this money, don't take care of us, you keep the price too low, and people will not be happy to do business with you in the future." ”

Qian Yuelai smiled: "Godmaster, don't worry, the price I gave will definitely not let the seller lose money." They don't do it themselves. ”

Talking about it like this, Qian Yuelai counted out the money of the cart first, discussed with Uncle Xia San and went to see it in the next day, and if he thought it was okay, he would pull the cart back. If not, he will continue to help with the touch.

Uncle Xia nodded naturally.

Then, Qian Yuelai counted out the money from the mule and put it in his own bag.

Looking at the remaining silver and copper coins in the baggage, Old Man Xia asked Qian Yuelai: "Yuelai, you are not wrong." You kid, we let you help with things, but we can't let you lose. ”

"Godmaster, that's all the money. If you want to give me more, then I won't come to the door in the future. Qian Yuelai said with a smile. When he said this, he blocked back many of Old Man Xia's words.

The next morning, Qian Yuelai really took Uncle Xia San to pull the cart back. This big car was pulled back, not only Uncle Xia and Old Man Xia were satisfied, but Xia Zhi also felt very satisfied when he saw it.

Qian Yuelai is very good at doing things.

Although this big car is used by people, it is seven or eight percent new, and it can be used without re-oiling, and it is strong and durable, and it is easier to use than new.

A big green mule, plus a cart, plus some bits and pieces, added together, passed through Qian Yuelai's hands, and only cost less than fifteen taels of silver.

The big green mule is the finest, and the cart, although old, is also the finest goods. If they go to the Luoma City to procure it themselves, they will not be able to beat it for twenty taels of silver.

Old Man Xia returned a tael of silver to Aunt Xia and Xia Zhi's family. Aunt Xia San talked about making a dress for Qian Yuelai and another pair of shoes.

"This one should be. Old Man Xia nodded in agreement.

Aunt Xia San couldn't leave because she wanted to work in the courtyard, so she handed over the silver money to Xia Zhi. When the summer solstice was rushing to buy vegetables, she helped Aunt Xia buy a silk cloth ruler and came back.

did not exceed Aunt Xia's budget, and Xia Zhi bought a silk that was dirt-resistant and durable, and could be worn. Aunt Xia San was naturally satisfied, and felt that Xia Zhi would buy things, and it was always right to leave this kind of thing to Xia Zhi.

Aunt Xia worked during the day, and at night she and Layue took the soles of shoes to make shoes, and Mrs. Xia took over the work of making clothes, which can be regarded as helping her daughter-in-law reduce her burden.

Qian Yuelai lived in Xia's house for seven days, and Xia Zhi later hired Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er, and finally finished beating all the wheat, looking at the bags of wheat weighed, and then pulling it home in a cart, Xia Zhi's mood was extremely joyful.

This year's wheat harvest was a bumper harvest, and the summer solstice family had ten acres of wheat land, and a total of 3,900 catties of wheat were beaten. Because the wheat is not completely dry, if the moisture is removed, the portion will be lighter. But this is already a high yield.

The wheat yield of Old Man Xia and Uncle Xia's family is about the same as that of Xia Zhi's family, and Second Uncle Xia's family is a few hundred catties less, according to Old Man Xia, it is because Uncle Xia did not weed the wheat field well in the early stage.

Qian Yue came to catch a car, Uncle Xia San drove a car, Xia Zhi followed Qian Yue's car, and as soon as he turned into the street, he saw a carriage with a shed parked at the door of Xia's backyard.

Second Uncle Xia came back from Fucheng, and it was very timely to come back. (To be continued.) )
