The Bao family is talking about family affairs and the western settlement of the family, and the Cai family is also talking about the same thing in another place.

Boss Cai wants to support his family, and he can't wait to break a penny into two pennies. Therefore, in addition to a change of clothes, he brought home money for his family, and he was not willing to buy a single candy or anything. But the children are still excited and excited to receive their father, holding their father's thighs, holding their father's arms, and holding their father's clothes, which can always make the Cai family boss look like a moving tree on the way into the house, and there are a few frolicking monkeys hanging on the tree.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take out the money bag in his arms and hand it to his father, who in turn handed it to his mother. His mother's money bag was heavier than last year, and she asked her son with a smile: "Boss! This year, it seems to be a little bit more money! ”

"That's a lot! Mother! I became the group leader this year, my salary was increased, and at the end of the year, I was given a bonus of two taels of silver, and this year I have a total of more than four taels of silver. ”

The family looked at the money bag happily, smiling beautifully, if more than four taels of silver alone to buy food, it would be enough for the family to eat a full meal for more than half a year. Cai Jianiang took the money bag into the inner room and locked it in the money box she specially put the money in. Outside, Cai's father was a family, and he asked each other about how he had been doing this year?

"Daddy! Is the money left over from last year enough to live on? ”

"Enough! When your eldest brother and second brother are busy on the farm, I can still do odd jobs for others, and I can earn more than ten catties of rice a day. I just want to save some money to buy a few acres of land, but I haven't been able to save. And your eldest brother should also find a family affair, but there is nothing. Who wants to take this kiss?! Your mother and I were so worried that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Are you going to do the work next year? If you go, bring your eldest brother with you, and let him earn some money to get a daughter-in-law back. ”

The boss of the Cai family is also flexible. Regarding what his father was worried about, he persuaded his father to come: "Dad! You see the current situation in my house, except for these few dilapidated houses, there is nothing, it is really better to go there and settle down.

We have already finished building roads and started to open up wasteland, and the prefect has allowed us to open up the wasteland without permission after the work is stopped. When others have stopped working, they open up wasteland for their own homes. I'm idle anyway, so I followed the big guys and opened up some wasteland, almost a dozen acres. Even if the production is not high. You can only plant one crop a year, but it's better than any land at home! If the eldest brother goes with me next year, the two of us will be able to open up at least more than 200 acres of land in a year. There are so many places. Isn't it better than doing it here?! Even Bao Zhengrong has a field and a house here. I'm still planning to settle down there! ”

When Cai Jianiang, who had hidden the silver, came out of the back room, she heard coldly that Bao Zhengrong was going to settle down in the west. He said a little anxiously: "Boss! Are you sure that the child of the Bao family is going to settle down so far away?! If that's the case, then your eldest sister's family business can't be decided. ”

The boss of the Cai family asked suspiciously: "Mother! Is the eldest sister going to kiss Bao Zhengrong? ”

"It didn't take long to tell his grandmother, and he thought that he would wait for the child to come back to see him, and he would decide without saying anything. If this kid runs so far to settle down, then forget it, and there is no need to meet. Your eldest sister can't marry so far away, and it will be even more difficult to go back to her parents' house in the future. ”

"Mother! You could be wrong. I originally planned to introduce my eldest sister to Bao Zhengrong! It's good, I don't have to bother with it. Zhengrong, this kid is good over there! Now I am a little housekeeper, and my salary is more than one or two a month. Not to mention the high bonus, all the things used are issued by the official family without money. And what's more! He has a few acres of land over there to squeeze trees, and this year he has earned at least a dozen taels of silver, and he has also opened up wasteland.

Don't talk about these, the most important thing is that he has the eyes of those people in the prefect's family, and he will teach him to read and count when he has nothing to do. Even if he can't work in the prefect's yamen in the future, I think it would be appropriate if he became a town. And I looked at him for so long, and found that he was a down-to-earth person, not that floating. If the eldest sister marries him, she will only enjoy happiness but she can't stand the sin. Mother don't do bad things with good intentions, but bad things for the eldest sister's good relatives. ”

It just so happened that the eldest sister of the Cai family was also there, and listening to what the eldest brother said so well, I couldn't help but feel a little yearning in my heart. She actually doesn't care that she is not far away from marrying, if her future husband can treat her well, she doesn't have to worry about no matter how far away. If the future husband treats him badly, no matter how close his mother's family is, what can he do? Can you still manage how the couple live for a long time? I'm afraid that the more I manage, the more sad my life will be in the future. Those daughters-in-law in Zhuangzi who have a good life and who have a sad life, really can't just look at the distance of their mother's family.

When Cai Jianiang heard her eldest son say this, she really couldn't make up her mind, so she couldn't help but turn her eyes to the eldest sister's face, and found that the eldest sister was in a daze with a longing face, and she already knew how to decide.

"Okay! Then I won't stop them, let them meet before the year, and if it doesn't work, there will be a quasi-word, and it will be settled after the year. ”

Over there, Daddy Cai was attracted by the favorable conditions in the west, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to leave the place where his ancestors had lived for generations, and he was very irritable. The second child of the Cai family, who was chatting with people outside, heard that the eldest brother was back, and hurriedly ran home.

"Big brother! How did you come back so early this year? Last year, I didn't come back until the end of the year, but this year I can spend the New Year at home. ”

Boss Cai laughed and said, "Big brother is playing outside?" We are blessed by Bao Zhengrong this year, and stewards like them are directly arranged by the prefect to send them back in a carriage. When I came back last year, what kind of dart bureau arranged for various caravans to bring us back by the way, so can it be the same! ”

"Official! Of course, it's different! It would be nice if the eldest brother could be a steward when he could do it. ”

Boss Cai laughed: "I can't count on it, Dad said to let you go with me next year, you are better than me, maybe you have this opportunity." ”

"Really? Can I go and work too? ”

"You're sixteen old enough to go to work and earn a wive. The family can't live without my father, otherwise my father will go with us to see the situation over there, and then decide whether to move there and settle down. Boss Cai nodded and replied to the eldest brother, while looking at his father with a tangled face and talking about his thoughts.

His father's eyes lit up: "You have a good idea!" It's nothing if I've been away from home for a year, and your mother can still do this. I'll go with you for a year, and if it's really the same as you say, we'll make plans when we come back. ”

Seeing that his father finally relented, Boss Cai responded excitedly: "Yes!" Dad, wait for you to go over and take a look, if you still think this side is good after reading it, I won't dwell on this matter with you anymore. ”

Cai Jianiang looked at their father and son with a questioning face, and wanted to ask them what they meant, but she swallowed the words back after enduring it. stood up and pulled the eldest daughter-in-law who was just looking at her man's silly pleasure, and dragged the eldest daughter who was blushing and thinking about it, and took the two to the kitchen. Commanded: "Eldest daughter-in-law! You go to the backyard and grab that red-haired rooster and kill it. Eldest sister, you go dig a scoop of soybeans to pick up, and you have to use soybeans to stew chicken at noon, otherwise it will not be enough for a large family to eat. ”

"Okay, mother!"

The aunt and sister-in-law were busy going, and Cai Jianiang scooped water into the pot, ready to boil the water to scald the chicken and lift the feathers.

There is also a Tang family, and Tang Laosan is also trying to lobby his father, eldest brother, and second brother to move to the west to settle down.

"Dad, brother, we have lived here for so many years, and they didn't treat us as neighbors, they asked our family to borrow things, didn't say a word, took it and left. If you borrow it, you won't pay it back, and we have to ask for it ourselves, haven't you been annoyed for so many years?

We were bullied when we were children, after all, we just moved in and said that children were not in the group. But our nephews and nieces have grown up with their children, and they are still being bullied by their children and crying fathers and calling mothers, how can you bear it? ”

Daddy Tang is a little older than Cai's father, but he doesn't have Cai's father's so-called homeland complex. He was kicked out of his family because he rebelled against his parents, and it was not a big deal to settle down there. It's just that the Tang family and the Cai family have nothing and are different, he also bought a few acres of land here, and the eldest and second have become relatives and have children, not that it is so easy to move away. He looked at the eldest and second and asked, "What do you two think?" Want to go out? ”

The eldest and second are also fed up here, they are originally excluded from outsiders, and their own families are poor, which is even more unpopular, and their lives are also very aggrieved. But you can't move out because you're not comfortable, and you will have to be poor for three years if you move once. What's more, their family is already poor and can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, where can they still toss? This time it was even more unrealistic, so far away, even if they had to eat, they might not be able to walk there.

The boss replied angrily: "Dad! Don't you know about my family? Except for a three-acre field, there is nothing. The money sold for these three acres of land is not enough for our dozen or so people to use on the road, and we have to dress and eat and have a house to live in when we go there. The third child didn't think about it, and you didn't think about it either? ”

The second child's words were much more softened: "Dad! I also want to live a good life, but I don't think it's very reliable for what the third brother said! As Big Brother said, we don't have anything. When I got there, I didn't know anyone who was familiar with the place, and I didn't even have an acquaintance who could borrow food. What should I do then? ”

When Tang Laosan heard them say this, he was anxious: "You know that it is difficult, difficult, difficult, and always thinking that I am not in tune!" But I have seen more than you do, and I know more. I've heard that the prefect over there can build houses, seeds, and food for the people who have moved in first, and then pay them back slowly when the days are solid. Boss Cai has long wanted to live in the past, but his father is unwilling to make a fuss. Bao Zhengrong has already planned to settle down over there when he becomes a relative, they are such shrewd people, if they don't see the benefits, can they think of where to settle down? ”

Daddy Tang, the eldest and the second, the three of them look at each other, you look at me and I look at you, and no one answers the words of the third child. After a long time, Daddy Tang said slowly: "Okay! I'll talk about this after I ask Cai Lao Scar. The boss goes to the kitchen and asks your mother when the food will be eaten! The second child went to Cai Bajin's house to get a pound of soju and came back. ”

"Got it! Father! The second child answered, so he went to the cabinet and took an empty wine bottle out to drink. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm a little delayed today! It's a bit late! I'm so sorry!
