Chapter 46 Saving money

Father, son, grandchildren, four acres of land? Xia Lihe thought and asked, "Is it that only men can divide the land?" What about the little stones?"

"Only men can divide the field, the little stone is only full moon and has not been reported, the county yamen actually knows about the little stone, but he will not be given the field until the little stone is seven years old. "In fact, the father and son of the Xia family can't cultivate four acres www.biquge.info of land, and they can't sublet it to others, so it's a sin to waste it, so it's better not to."

This specific difficulty Xia Hou is embarrassed to explain in detail to Xia Lily, no matter what situation he falls into, he also hopes to maintain the image of standing up to the sky in the hearts of his children...... But his image doesn't seem to be maintained......

Xia Hou looked at Xia Lily and just stretched out his hand and shook the stool, determined where it was loose, and then went to the place where the yard was chopping wood, picked up a small piece of wood, came back with an axe, and then stuffed the small piece of wood into the gap where it was loose, knocked it with the back of the axe, and then reached out to shake it, and the stool didn't move!?

Watching people work, the principle of making the stool not shake Xia Hou can also understand, just plug the loose place tightly, how easy, the things to work are still ready-made, but he and his son, when the dynasty's Taifu, Tanhua, and Bangyan, everyone admires the talent, they have lived here for half a year, and they have been sitting on a stool that shakes for half a year!

Why didn't they think that a small piece of wood would solve the problem?

Xia Hou couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, useless to be a scholar!

"Is there anything else to repair?" Xia Lihe picked up the axe and didn't want to let it go, she was an idle person, she was trapped in the carriage these days and even stretched her waist to worry about the image of the Xia family's daughter, but she was suffocated!

"There are a lot more!" The girl who came out of the kitchen to carry firewood was fortunate enough to watch the whole scene, the little girl didn't understand her grandfather's psychology at all, she didn't even pay attention, she happily ran over and pulled Xia Lily and said, "There are still a lot of things in the house that are broken, the cabinet in the grandfather's room, the stool in the brother's room, and the second uncle has always wanted to make a cradle for his younger brother, but he can't do it well......"

"I won't do the cradle, you still take me to see the bad furniture first, if it can be repaired, if it can't be repaired and can't be used, let's find a way." "Xia Lily is not a carpenter in the end, so she doesn't dare to take care of it.

Xia Hou opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't have to work hard for his daughter, but when he saw Xia Baihe carrying an axe in one hand, he didn't dare to speak.

Yaya happily led Xia Lily to Xia Hou's room first, just as the atractylodes in the smoked house was finished, Xia Lily opened the window to ventilate, and saw that Yaya frowned as soon as she came in, so she said thoughtfully: "It's all medicinal smell just after smoking, let's come in later." ”

Yaya nodded hurriedly, frowned again and asked, "Third aunt, is Yaya's room also smoked with medicine?"

"In order to prevent mosquitoes and diseases, doesn't Yaya like the smell of medicine?" the little girl's expression was actually obvious.

Yaya whispered with a little grievance: "Yaya remembers that the family used to be incense, Yaya's clothes and bedding were fragrant, and the mother's and aunt's bodies were also fragrant......"

As the current third-generation daughter of the Xia family, she is raised by brocade clothes and jade food, and then suddenly changed from the boudoir to the prison room, which is tantamount to going from heaven to hell, but the wolf-like officers and soldiers were so scared that she didn't even dare to cry, and then she was exiled with the adults, and the adults were silent, and the girl seemed to forget the rich life and began to get used to it.

"......" Xia Baihe touched Yaya's head, but she couldn't say anything to persuade her, what could she say, saying that the Xia family gave you glory and wealth, and you were naturally not spared from the Xia family's suffering.

If she wants to say that everything is deserved, the little girl will only think that she is too cold-blooded as an aunt.

Seeing Xia Lily leading the girl out silently, Xia Hou was in good spirits: "It doesn't matter if you can't fix it, it's a broken thing, and it's okay to make do with it." "If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't be repaired, they wouldn't have come out so quickly.

Xia Lily shook her head: "I haven't checked it yet, the house is full of the smell of atractylodes, Yaya is not used to smelling it, I'll take her to another room first." ”

Xia Hou watched Xia Lily take Yaya to the house where no one lived to put things, and then they didn't come out quickly, and there was a "jingling" sound in the house...... Can you really fix it!?

Everyone was busy, only Xiahou stood in the middle of the courtyard, how could he be embarrassed to wait for ready-made, seeing the clothes piled up in the yard, he thought about it and decided to go over and clean up this, don't throw it away if you can still wear it, and the small stone is still missing a lot of diapers!

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xia Hou found that he had a lot of mud on his hands, and then looked at the trouser legs that he had pulled up, and he suddenly realized that he had actually seen his little daughter in such an embarrassed manner, and after talking to her for so long, it was rare that his daughter did not show a trace of surprise and saved face for him.

There is no well in the courtyard where the Xia family lives, and they have to pick up drinking water from the small river 100 meters away, although the road is not very far, but for the Xia family, who have been pampered since birth, it is definitely a very difficult task to carry a tank of water, so the Xia family is very reluctant to use water, and the men are dirty when they work in the field, so they all go to the lower reaches of the river, wash it and then walk home.

After thinking about it like this, Xia Hou understood what he should be doing at the moment, and he took a bucket out of the yard.

You Shi looked at the sunset outside from the window of his house, and handed the sheet in his hand to Xia Bo to wash: "You come and clean up, I have to cook, the third sister has worked hard all the way, don't make people hungry anymore." ”

"Leave it to me here, you can go and get busy. "Xia Boxi is not the eldest young master who can only read back then, and he is very busy with housework.

You Shi went to the kitchen with confidence, and saw that the fire had been lit in the stove, and even the firewood was piled up in the place where she could reach it, and she was even more relieved.

There is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, before Xia Lily came, You had to worry about how to make the family not too aggrieved every day, Huang had just given birth to a child, and her body was weak and needed to be supplemented, not to mention that she also had milk to feed the child, which was the most untreatable, Xia Hou was old, the Xia brothers were the main laborers, and the two small ones had to grow their bodies.

After careful calculation, the rest of the Xia family has no reason to save money, and You can only save it from herself, even so, she has no ability to let her family eat to their heart's content.

Today is finally good, a lot of food is almost piled up in the kitchen, and You Shi, who is from a wealthy background, has the feeling of being a nouveau riche at this time, isn't he really dreaming?

You Shi pinched himself to calm down, what his father-in-law said was right, their family is still a criminal official, and they will definitely be denounced, and the second girl can't send things here from time to time, it's not good for the Protector Mansion, you see her and Huang's maiden family, since they came to Jiangbei, they have never received a letter from their mother's family!

Thinking of this, You Shi didn't need to pinch himself and calmed down, the things sent by the second girl were good and many, but the Xia family had eight people, and they couldn't eat for a few days if they really let go of eating.

You Shi first took an egg from the basket, beat it and poured it into a bowl to add water, she wanted to make egg custard for Huang's, mix a bowl and put it in the steamer, and then she made a bowl for Xia Lily, of course, the third sister has to make up for the initial recovery from a serious illness, and she will have to marry and have children in the future!

I thought that Xia Hou should have eaten well and digested when he was old, and besides, Xia Lian's heart was mainly filial piety to Xiahou, a basket of eggs, how could there be a loss to the old man, and there was it in the second room, so my father-in-law would not be reluctant to eat it, right?

The third bowl was ready, You Shi happened to hear Xia Shiming's cough, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, this child has been sick for three or four months and is getting thinner and thinner, and even outsiders say to eat some good supplements, there was no such condition before, and today ......

You Shi took another egg and knocked it into the bowl, and when she had an eldest son, how could she be reluctant to let the five-year-old maid eat it? Mama Lu and Ruizhu are now the second girls who married outside, and these things were brought by them, and they did not let the family eat them, and they lost the face of the Xia family.

Even Mama Lu and Ruizhu have it, how can the eldest young master and the second young master of the Xia family not do it?

You Shi calculated, there is finally something delicious at home, and no one can treat it badly, so today is simply extravagant, anyway, isn't it for people to eat?

Bowl after bowl, the basket that was originally full of spikes quickly sank into a small pit, You Shi looked distressed, but with these bowls of "luxury", she had the confidence to cook next.

The big pot dish made of potato vermicelli, put a few thin slices of bacon, and soon the aroma wafted out, and the kitchen could not fit and floated to the yard, which provoked the girl to stop looking at Xia Lily nail furniture, and ran into the kitchen quickly, staring at the pot and swallowing saliva.

You Shi looked at her daughter distressed and sad, but she had to keep a straight face: "Yaya, if you don't help your third aunt work, what are you doing in the kitchen, do you know how to cook?"

Yaya didn't have time to pay attention to her mother's face, she stared at the pot without blinking, and asked while swallowing, "Mother, is there anything delicious tonight?"

"Well, your second aunt and your third aunt have brought food for your grandfather, and you can eat a little bit of it. You taught her daughter to be grateful, remembering that she was stained with her grandfather's light.

"When can you eat it?" Yaya was not interested in hearing where the food came from, she couldn't wait to open the pot and eat it immediately.

"Yaya, you look like a young lady of the Xia family, how does your mother usually teach you?" You Shi couldn't stand it anymore, she pulled Yaya away from the pot with a little force, "Get out! I won't have you to eat tonight!" she whispered and frightened.

This is more effective than saying anything else, and the girl immediately came back to her senses: "Mother, don't be angry, I'll help the third aunt work!"
