Wei Minwu didn't say anything in the end.

Since the mountain goods have already been sold, Zhang Xing has also come back safely, and there is nothing left in Huaiyang City. Wei Yunhai bought a golden hairpin in Huaiyang City Ye Hexiang and brought a bag of snacks to Zhang Jinbao. The three of them went to Dongyuan Wharf and boarded the boat.

After a few days on the boat, they arrived in the town of Zhanghe. It was noon, they were like arrows, and they didn't have the heart to eat and drink, and after getting off the boat, they rushed directly to Weijiazhuang, and when they arrived in the village, Ye Hexiang was being pestered by Zhang Jinbao and routinely went to the entrance of the village to meet them.

Ye Hexiang was sitting at the door of the house at the entrance of the village and was gossiping, Zhang Jinbao was picking up stones to play, and when he saw Wei Yunhai and the three of them from afar, he screamed happily, threw all the stones in his hand, and shouted while running over: "Eldest sister, eldest sister." ”

Wei Yunhai moved the pheasant and rabbit that was dried on his back to Wei Minwu, and hugged Zhang Jinbao with a smile. Zhang Jinbao turned his head to look at Zhang Xing, and called happily: "Eldest sister." Zhang Xing looked at him with a smile.

Ye Hexiang also greeted him, first looked at the burden on Wei Minwu's body, and then looked at Wei Yunhai carefully, seeing that although he was much darker and thinner, he was in good spirits, and a sense of joy overflowed. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wei......"

Wei Yunhai glanced at her and whispered, "I'm talking about it when I go home." He smiled and greeted the villagers.

After returning home, Wei Minwen came back from the vegetable field, Wei Yunhai asked him to close the door, sit at the table, take out the money bag in his arms, and pour out the silver and copper plates inside.

Ye Hexiang was so happy that her eyes forgot to blink, "This, this is all earned by this trip?"

Wei Yunhai smiled and nodded, raised his head and said to Wei Minwen, who was also in a daze, "Min Wen, you and Min Wu have the money to play next year." ”

Wei Minwen was stunned and forgot to react. Wei Minwu dragged him to the two rooms where he lived and showed off his small treasury. whispered, "Brother, these are all mine." ”

Here, the two brothers are counting the money in their own room. In the main room, Wei Yunhai put away the entire silver, handed over the rest of the copper plate to Ye Hexiang, and looked at Ye Hexiang to count the money. Seeing that they were all fascinated, they even forgot to eat and drink, smiled, and led Zhang Jinbao to the kitchen to cook on the fire.

With the surplus money, the family has hope for next year's life, and at dinner, Wei Yunhai proposed to sell the land. Zhang Xing nodded secretly. They are a family of six. Only five acres of land is really not enough, besides, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu are about to become adults, and they will marry daughters-in-law in the future, and the population will increase, so they should buy land.

Ye Hexiang disagreed, she felt that these forty or fifty taels of silver could be used to set up a small shop in the town, how could there be money for trading in this kind of land?

Wei Yunhai thought about it. Shaking his head and saying, "It doesn't work to shop in the town." We've never done business before, and we don't know anything about what is going on inside. I've heard that it's an easy deal, but it's a loss and a profit. It's still a solid way to farm. ”

Ye Hexiang has to say. Zhang Xing interjected and said, "Mother." Where is it so easy to do business in a shop? We have enough money to buy and sell in a shop, but what about the money for the purchase of goods in the shop? What about some additional purchases? These are a lot of money, where can we afford it? We also have to keep some extra money, and the eldest brother and the second brother will end next year. ”

Ye Hexiang was stunned. She only thought of the pan shop, where did she think of others? But she really didn't like the days when her face was facing the loess and her back was to the sky. She said impatiently to Zhang Xing: "What do you know? If the money is not enough. It's a big deal, let's go into the mountains again. ”

Zhang Xing couldn't help twitching her forehead, her mother really thought that there was money everywhere in this mountain, and she thought that she would be able to get money as soon as she went in. They were lucky this time, they just found a good mountain and caught a roe deer, so Wei Yunhai almost fell off the cliff, and Wei Minwu was almost bitten by a snake.

Without waiting for Zhang Xing to refute Ye Hexiang, Wei Yunhai said it first.

"It's not so easy to get into this mountain, and Min Wu and I almost lost our lives there. Don't talk about the shop, our family can't afford this, or buy land, although it is tired, but as long as the year is good and the tax is paid, there will always be some surplus. ”

Wei Yunhai said so, and Ye Hexiang didn't say anything anymore.

Zhang Xing asked Wei Yunhai and said, "Uncle, how many acres of land do you want to buy?"

Wei Yunhai said: "I have thought about it on the boat, our family of six people, let alone ten acres of land, let's buy another five acres." Some time ago, several families in our village couldn't pay taxes and wanted to sell their land, so I was about to take over. After he got the money, he kept thinking about where he should use it. The land of Weijiazhuang is slightly higher because of the terrain, and the price is slightly higher than that of nearby villages. An acre of high-grade land can be bought for five taels of silver, a medium-sized field also costs three taels of silver, and a low-grade field costs two taels of silver. He couldn't afford to buy a high-quality field, so he planned to buy five acres of medium land.

Zhang Xing thought about it in his heart, forty taels of silver, buying five acres of land, Wei Yunhai probably wouldn't want all the land. About twenty taels of silver can do this, so they should have some money to spare. She said again: "Uncle, the pond on the other side of our vegetable garden is ownerless, why don't you tell the village chief Uncle and buy this pond together, we can raise fish in the pond." This pond is so close to our vegetable garden, it looks convenient. ”

Ye Hexiang glared at Zhang Xing and said, "What the hell do you have to do with this pond? This pond also has to pay taxes, and the income is not as good as farming, what kind of pond do you buy?" Few people on both sides of the Huai River want ponds, because there is a lot of water here, and if you want to eat fish, you just have to go down to the river to catch them, but the pond has to pay taxes, and it is waterlogging at every turn, and the fish in the pond are not easy to raise.

"Who said that the pond is not as profitable as farming? If this fish is raised, it can be brought to the town and sold for money. Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Wei Yunhai thought about it, and nodded and said, "It's good to have a pond, and if you raise fish, you can also save some money on meat and vegetables." This pond is ownerless, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and it is close to our vegetable garden, so it is easy to take care of. ”

Wei Yunhai is used to making the final decision in this family, although Ye Hexiang disagrees, there is no way.

The next day, Wei Yunhai went to do this. The pond is ownerless, just transfer a paperwork and wait for the end of the year to pay taxes. As soon as the news that Wei Yunhai was going to buy land was released, several families in the village came to inquire.

This year, every family is having a hard time. The people who came to talk about it were all villagers, and Wei Yunhai bought two acres of high-grade fields and six acres of medium-sized fields, which was far more than he had planned. But the price given is a little less than usual. It's not that Wei Yunhai deliberately lowered it, but the villagers who came to say it themselves.

The matter of buying land has been decided, and the end of the year has arrived. Wei Yunhai now has plenty of money, so he took his family, including his two sons, to the town to catch up with him. When he arrived in town, he first took his two sons to buy some fish and meat at the market and accompanied them to Uncle Fu's house.

Ye Hexiang took Zhang Xing to visit some silk rouge shops. Zhang Xing is twelve years old, and she is thirteen years old, she has grown a lot taller this year, and her eyebrows, eyes and hair have gradually grown, even if she has a plain face, people can't take their eyes off.

Ye Hexiang thinks that her demeanor is still there, her daughter was born well, and she has a light on her face, so she is also willing to take Zhang Xing out and let people praise her.

Zhang Xing didn't care, she also knew that she didn't have to worry about anything in her previous years, but this place is about to start thinking about getting married. The daughter-in-law of the Dongzi family in the village was married at the age of fifteen and married at the age of thirteen.

After Zhang Xing thought about it, she was always confused in her heart, and as for marrying someone, she instinctively resisted.

She tried not to think about it, because every time she thought about it, the cry of "Mommy, Mommy!" would appear in her ears, and her heart would ache.

Man, what is it? If you have to pick a bed to share with a pillow, then pick a simple one, open one eye and close one eye, and make do with it.

She knew that her skin was not bad, and she would be more outstanding in a few years, and she didn't want this to be a burden on herself, so she would rather it be ordinary.

Ye Hexiang chattered for a long time, Zhang Xing still picked a gray-black wearable clothing for herself, and Ye Hexiang stared at her for a long time. Zhang Xing asked the guy to cut the cloth, gave the money, and went straight to the hair. Zhang Jinbao immediately took his sister's clothes and followed him. The fragrance of the leaf lotus had to come out too.

The cloth was bought. Wei Yunhai took Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu out of Uncle Fu's house. Uncle Fu originally wanted to keep the two of them for a few days, but the two of them heard about He Yuanqing's family and wanted to go over to take a look, so they didn't stay.

Zhang Xing grabbed Wei Minwu and asked, "He Lizheng hasn't been released yet?"

Wei Minwu shook his head and said, "No, Yuan Qing has just come back from Yuxian, my brother and I will go over to have a look later, you can help us pick something." As he spoke, he threw the money bag in his sleeve to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing took it and asked about the current situation in Hefu. After He Lizheng went to prison, Mrs. He fell ill, Miss He was a woman, and she was at home to serve the sick, and He Lizheng's affairs were all due to He Yuanqing's rush. During the time when Zhang Xing and others went out, He Yuanqing had been taking care of Yuxian County, and he had only been back for a few days.

It is said that since Mrs. He is sick in bed, it is best for the people who come to the door to bring some tonics, but where can they buy ginseng and other things? Zhang Xing took Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to pick some seasonal melons and fruits. The situation of the Wei family, if you want to come to Mrs. He, she also knows the way, so they won't slap their swollen faces and become fat.

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu went to Hefu, and Wei Yunhai took Ye Hexiang, Zhang, Xingzhang, and Jinbao to the market to buy New Year's goods. They are confident this time, and they have bought more than last year. The things were almost bought, and a few people were hungry, so they ordered a few dishes in a small restaurant next to the market, and while eating, they waited for Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu.

After eating almost completely, Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu came back, and Wei Yunhai ordered food for the two of them.

Zhang Xing asked Wei Minwu: "How is it? Do you have a clue about He Lizheng's affairs?" (to be continued......)
