Chapter 102 - A Hundred Industries to Be Developed
The eldest aunt was a little embarrassed, and left in a hurry without saying a few words, leaving a few daughters still chatting here.
One of the youngest cousins of the uncle's family asked what she was most concerned about: "Sister Erya, are your family's workshops still open this year?" ”
"Open is a must open! It's just that the raw materials are not available at the moment, and we may have to wait until we have been to the north to make plans. However, in a few days there will be other things that will allow you to earn some pocket money. You also know that my family has a tea plantation, but in the past few years, because of a lot of family affairs and drought, it has stopped for two or three years and has not made a large amount of tea.
After the spring this year, I went to take a look, and those tea trees were still intact and had not been crushed by the heavy snow, so I plan to make more tea this year, pick several tea gardens together, make more good tea before the rain, and give more input to the family.
A few days before the rain in the valley, there were more people to pick tea. At the end of the day, if the tea grass is evenly picked, well-dressed, without miscellaneous leaves or broken leaves, and no tea grass sprouts are wasted, it is estimated that you can earn one or two taels of silver a day, which is no less than you make zuò fur coats and bags. But it's only seven or eight days, and I can't earn much! ”
Several cousins and cousins looked at Erya with bright eyes, and the surprise in their hearts floated on their faces. The eyes are full of beautiful visions and expectations for the future life.
Seven or eight days is fine! I haven't made a single item for three or four years, and I'm scared and scared in my heart.
Er Ya Niang looked at her daughter with proud eyes: she has the ability but does not put on a show, she is rich but does not clasp her hands, and her mother's family, who originally did not walk around with her family, is now also because Er Ya brings income to relatives and friends at home, and she walks frequently.
The mother's family wants to be more intimate with Erya. It's a pity that because of the family affair introduced by her sister-in-law patting her chest, she let Erya be humiliated. So far, several elder brothers and younger brothers have no choice, so they have to move Erya to come over as guests. They wanted to go to Erya's house as guests, but Erya never made an invitation, and they were embarrassed to take the initiative to go.
I heard that the Xiucai family is still a Xiucai, and after only taking the test twice, he took the dowry test with his daughter-in-law and had nothing. Hehe! I thought that a rich girl's family could make people do such a treacherous thing!
even wanted to ask her sister-in-law to help introduce her to the Wang family Zhuangzi as a gentleman, how cheeky it must be to come up with this. Something you shouldn't even talk about.
However, Mr. Wang's Zhuangzi's current monthly money is indeed tempting. It has risen to seven taels. In the whole county, except for the dean of the academy and Mr. Big in the county seat, it is a little higher, even if Mr. Wang Zhuangzi has the highest money.
The talents of several nearby towns are trying their best to become teachers in the past. But her daughter's requirements are too high, as long as she lifts people, don't show her talents.
The sister-in-law also told herself that the family regretted it, hum! Now for that. Isn't it farting to smell people!
The daughters of Uncle Erya's family don't care about their second aunt, squinting and thinking about what's on their minds. Got tangible news. Then he was relieved, and he planned to take his leave and go back. Erya and Xiaoxiang also followed to visit her grandmother, and her mother also followed.
At first, Erya dissuaded. Because of the slippery mud road, she was a little worried that her mother would accidentally slip. Later, I thought about the eldest aunt who accompanied my grandmother all morning, if her mother didn't even have to go over to take a look. Grandma may not say it in her mouth, but she definitely doesn't have energy in her heart. So. Let his mother follow.
When he was about to go out, the second girl who was holding Wen Yue explained to Huigui again: "Little brother! You stay at home with the guests and don't go out, your brother-in-law is here, and if we haven't come back yet, go over and ask me to come back and make dinner early. ”
"Hear me! Go ahead! Huigui, who was talking to the coachman of Xiaoxiang's family in the front room, turned his head to answer his sister's words.
When I arrived at my grandmother's room, the third aunt was already there talking to my grandmother for a while. Grandma Er Ya saw that Er Ya Niang had also passed, so she asked with concern: "Second child, how do you feel now?" I just heard that before I could come to see you, you came! ”
The second girl smiled embarrassedly and answered her mother-in-law's question in a low voice: "My mother is an elder!" Since the daughter-in-law came to see her mother, how could she ask her mother to run around! My daughter-in-law feels okay now! ”
Erya smiled and joked with her grandmother: "Grandma! I heard grandpa say that he provoked you again today? ”
Her grandmother scolded Erya with a smile: "You little monkey spirit, you dare to bury your grandfather like this!" Just his old stubbornness, who cares about him?! ”
The room knew that the old couple was actually greasy and crooked, and it was no less than the young ones, and after listening to the old lady's words, they all quietly covered their mouths and snickered.
The third aunt watched Erya's two sons drill around among several people, you chase me, I chase you and make trouble, I like it very much. Reaching out and grabbing Wen Yue, who ran past him, he was about to hug him and kiss him, Wen Yue screamed while struggling.
The second aunt let Wen Yue go and said to Er Ya with a smile: "Your little Wen is so big!" After nine days, we went to see him, like a kitten, and in the blink of an eye, we didn't see him much, so we could say that we would run away! Wen Chao is also four or five years old, right? Why didn't you go to school? ”
Erya replied to the third aunt's words, and by the way, thanked the third aunt for carrying her mother back in the morning: "Yes! Children just grow up fast, and Wen Yue is already more than two years old. Wen Chao doesn't like to learn as much as his little uncle, so he is easy to be sooner or later, lest he have a boredom or phobia or something. So, at present, it is his father and little uncle, playing and teaching him something that interests him.
Third aunt! Thank you so much for my mother's business today, otherwise my mother would have died in the vegetable garden, in the cold ground with mud and water! ”
The third aunt shook her head and said, "Say something stupid!" We are a family, do we still need thanks? As he spoke, he looked at his second sister-in-law with a smile and said, "Second sister-in-law! I didn't expect that! You"
The second girl hurriedly stopped the conversation: "Third brother and sister, please don't say it, I don't even dare to go out of the house now!" ”
The second grandmother smiled and said to the second daughter-in-law: "You are really, why are you shy?!" It's not for nothing that you have a baby at your age! There are also those in their fifties who are pregnant with their granddaughter-in-law. Then they won't go out?! ”
The second girl learned from the third brother and sister, half-covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, and responded to her mother-in-law's words briskly: "Hey! Hearing what her mother said, her daughter-in-law was frank. ”
They were in the room, chatting and chatting. Grandpa Erya and Dad took a hat and wore a coat in the field to check if there was any standing water. In the first half of the year, they were also the same as Erya's family, because there was no large amount of water to soak the field, so they couldn't plant rice for a while, so they could only plant a season of dry grain temporarily, and the dry grain was not afraid of rain. The most feared thing is standing water in the roots. Once the roots rot, there is no harvest of grains, which is worse than drought and flood insect disasters.
Although it snowed twice heavily. It rained for a month or two, but there was not a lot of water on the ground and in the pond, so it could only be regarded as a dry soil that was one or two feet deep on the surface. Of course, there is no need to do any drainage work.
It's just that the corn hasn't seen green seedlings grow yet, and Grandpa Er Ya is a little anxious. "Come on! It's been seven or eight days to go on like this, right? Why is it still not seedlings? Don't be dumb! ”
"Daddy! Didn't Er Ya say it! Does it take at least half a month for the seedlings to emerge? What are you anxious about? ”
"Oh! Is it? I forgot, so wait! Then he sighed: "Alas! The crops were confiscated for two or three years. The heart is empty and unsteady. If I don't see the seedlings and the crops harvested, my heart will not be bottomless. ”
"Daddy! I understand! Isn't it the same as usual? The disaster has passed, and it will get better in the future. Don't worry when you're old. ”
"Hey! Let's go back! ”
When they get home. The second girl had just returned from chatting at her grandmother's house, and Xiaohu brought Xiaolong over as soon as the second girl was halfway through dinner.
Wen Chao, who is grinding with his uncle, doesn't care about the mud and water in the yard. While shouting "Daddy! On the other hand, he ran towards the little tiger who was pulling the horse into the yard. Wen Yue also followed and ran to the yard to pick up his father.
Huigui didn't guard against Wen Chao and let him run into the mud, but Wen Yue took precautions early. As soon as he saw that he was about to run to the door of the hall, he stepped forward and grabbed it, and the anxious Wen Yue jumped to his feet and screamed!
Xiaolong saw it at the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly gave the reins of the horse to his brother, ran over quickly, picked up Wen Yue and put him on his back in his crossed hands, and then spread his feet and bent over, swinging Wen Yue back and forth, Wen Yue nervously grabbed the clothes on the little uncle's arm, and excitedly "giggled" and laughed.
In the yard, Xiaohu didn't care about his son's feet full of mud, as soon as he reached out, he picked up Wen Chao and pulled the horse with one hand to continue to send it to the backyard, and Huifu hurriedly went out of the house to take the reins of the horse in Xiaohu's hand: "Brother-in-law! I'll pull it to the back, you can go and rest first! The second sister's meal is about to be ready. ”
The grandfather who was sitting in the hall smiled and asked the little dragon who was holding Wen Yue and playing, "Little dragon!" Why haven't you gone back to the county school to study? ”
Xiaolong stopped his hand and looked up at the Liu family's grandfather and smiled, and replied, "My sister-in-law didn't let me go, saying that I would go to the academy after I was completely settled." ”
The second father nodded on the side and took over the conversation: "That's right, many people are sick now, if you accidentally get sick in the school and don't even have someone to take care of you, what can you do!?" ”
Xiaolong responded to his sister-in-law's father while swinging Wen Yue: "Yes! My sister-in-law also said the same, saying that when I wait for next year, I will indeed be stable, and it will be the same if I go again, not worse than this year and a half. ”
Grandpa also said, "Hmm! Erya is thoughtful! Otherwise, it is indeed uneasy for you to have a child over there, and none of your relatives are around. ”
Xiao Xiang in the kitchen shouted in the direction of the hall, "Ready to eat, Huigui, go over and bring grandma over for dinner." ”
Hui Gui was about to go over, but his grandfather stopped him and said, "Don't call it, your grandmother hasn't been very comfortable recently, and your aunt will cook porridge for her to drink at night." ”
Huigui happened to be lazy to wear clogs, and dragged around in the mud to suffer. Following Grandpa's words, he didn't go. I was busy cleaning up the tables and stools with my father and Huifu, and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks. (To be continued)
PS: Off topic: Apologize to a friend first! I can only change it today! Maybe it's a phobia of work, last night's insomnia was quite strict, almost a night without sleep, at dawn, just when you can close your eyes and sleep for a while, the alarm goes off.
Now I can't stand it, my brain is dizzy, I have a lot of things to write, but I can't organize them in language. I have to grieve my friends! Sorry, sorry!
