Chapter 222: Fate is unpredictable

Shi Jingxuan hurried back without having breakfast here, and he left with the task. Erya is also very emotional, it is really different to have a housekeeper, now as long as you move your mouth, you no longer need to do everything yourself, you are tired like a dead dog.

Erya took the children to breakfast, asked the children to turn around and go to the school by themselves, and she went back to her parents' house, wanting to talk to his father about the late rice.

Almost all of the money her father made from salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs was bought into the field, although it was not easy to manage the east and west, but it was easy to plant all the tenants for others, but the harvest was much less than that of Erya's family.

During the two years of the drought, her father listened to her and did not take rent from the tenants, but gave a lot of grain to the tenants on credit. This year's harvest was good, and the tenants should be able to repay her father's grain. Her father's grain must be sold, so she wants her father to send the grain to be sold to her, and at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, the army will come over to harvest late rice, and then it will be counted together. Three stones of grain is one or two taels of silver, which is a lot of income for farmers with more farmland.

Even Uncle Xiaohu and the second uncle couldn't sit still when they got the news, and when they had breakfast, they all came over to discuss, wanting to take out all the money saved at home to buy land.

Uncle also has another meaning, he wants to record all the fields he bought in the future in Xiaolong's name and belong to Xiaolong, how can this second girl want it!? Her family's current property, even if the brothers are divided in half, that is, their four uncles and nephews are equally divided, Xiaolong will not get less. What's more, she continues to work hard to make money! She won't even give less to her uncle, second uncle and a few cousins, so how could she lose Xiaolong?

Erya arrived at her mother's house. Her parents, grandparents, two younger brothers, and one brother and daughter-in-law are all at home, which is the most complete time she has returned to her parents' house in so many years.

Huigui saw the second sister stepping in from the courtyard gate, without waiting for others to speak. He rushed forward with a roar: "Whoa! Sister, you still let me help you take care of the fields over there! I'm going to get moldy every day when I stay at home! ”

Er Ya looked at the second brother's eager expression, and it seemed that she really wanted to do something, so she told her younger brother: "Because there is half of that land in the clan, if you let you manage it alone, there will definitely be people in the clan who will quarrel." If you and my uncle are in charge, it's too wasteful of manpower. But if you really like to be a banker. Then help me get the town in charge! It just so happened that Uncle Xiaohu and Second Uncle were going to play chess, and they had no time to take care of the farmland. If you take over, you can manage whatever you want than the land in Liujialing. And it's close to home. Meals and accommodation are convenient at home. How nice! ”

Huigui jumped up excitedly, pulled the second sister's arm, and eagerly verified: "Really? Second sister, are you really willing to hand over the land in the town to me to take care of?! Second sister, if you want to leave it to me, it's right. You don't know. In Liujialing, I also bought dozens of donkeys for people to raise! I heard that donkey skin can be boiled with glue. It's worth a lot of money, and donkey meat is expensive. Even selling live donkeys can make money. What a pity! I haven't seen next year's harvest yet, and I'm driven back by you. If I do a good job in that piece of land in town, you can't just change me at every turn! ”

Erya shook her head affirmatively, "No!" If you do a good job, the share I give you is definitely different from other people's, you do it well. After she finished speaking, she patted her brother on the shoulder.

She still had a plan in her heart. When the donkey had made money, he gave half to his brother. Although the younger brother used the money produced in his own land, if the younger brother did not buy the donkey, the income would become dead money. Since the long-term workers who spend money can be rewarded, but the younger brother of his own family does not, this is unreasonable!

Hui Gui took a painful breath, but because he was excited, he didn't care about the pain at all.

When Erya was talking to her younger brother, the rest of the family came out of the gate one after another and stood in the courtyard to greet Erya. Erya greeted her father, grandmother, brother-in-law, and daughter-in-law with a smile: "Why are you all at home today?" It's so complete! ”

Her mother first spoke and asked, "Why did you come back today?" Didn't you say that there were a lot of military masters in your family to collect food?! ”

Erya replied to her mother with a smile: "People come to collect grain, can they still live here and not leave?" The first day came, and the next day I pulled the grain back! ”

Her grandfather took a step forward and asked nervously, "How is it?" How much does it cost? ”

Every time Erya sees his grandfather, who is obviously an old child, and he has to pretend to be deep, he especially wants to laugh. In order to be anxious about her grandfather, she followed her grandfather's example, and pretended to be very mysterious, first stretched out two fingers, and then stretched out three fingers, without speaking or giving any hints. Her grandfather couldn't wipe his face and asked, so he had to frown, scratch his ears and cheeks for a long time, and finally didn't figure out what it meant.

The second father is also a sincere person, and he hasn't seen that his daughter is deliberate. also helped his father figure out what the gesture meant. Only Erya's grandmother is worthy of being a smart old lady who can handle the old man to death. Not only did she understand that her granddaughter was deliberately amusing her grandfather, but she also understood the meaning of her granddaughter's gestures.

She smiled and patted the back of her granddaughter who walked to her, and said angrily, "You are becoming more and more unruly!" Always teasing your grandfather, I think you want to beg for a beating! ”

Erya grimaced, pretending not to hear and teasing her little brother who was already able to recognize people.

The second girl is also smart, she asked in a low voice, "Is it two taels of silver and three stone grain?" ”

"Mother! Why don't you think of two stones of grain and three taels of silver? "Er Ya humbly asked.

Her mother answered her daughter's question with a little pride: "It's not easy! Usually food is one tael of silver and two stones, and no matter how high the army is, it is impossible to give three taels of silver and two stones, right?! So, isn't it just two taels of silver and three stones! ”

Although the weather is not as hot as in summer and early autumn, it is unbearable to stand outside and be exposed to the sun. Er Ya snatched the little brother and ran into the hall first, and the others followed suit.

The grandfather who entered the house seemed to have finally thought of the meaning of the gesture, so he smiled happily and shouted at Erya: "Hehe! I know, is it two taels of silver and three stones of grain? ”

Er Ya said with a smile: "Yes! You're really good enough. What do you think! Is this price okay? I'm here to ask if you want to bring food to my house. At the end of this year or the beginning of next year, they will have to come again and get late rice. Then you will put your grain together and give it to them. You've also harvested a lot of food this year, right? ”

Grandpa nodded happily and said in a proud and smug tone, "Hmm! We will receive forty percent of the harvest in the field, plus what the tenants who have borrowed grain will give us back. My family has about 300 stone of grain, and I leave 50 stone for rations, which can be sold for at least 250 stone. The late rice has not been harvested yet, and I don't know how much I can harvest! But I think about it. Anyway, this year's Mitsuda piece. The income of two hundred taels of silver is indispensable! ”

No wonder the old man will be proud and proud, he has never seen a time when the family can eat enough since he was a child, and then the child's mother got married. Bringing a lot of dowry, their lives are a little better, but they still won't have a life where they can eat when they want to be full, and they can eat meat if they want to.

It's different now, the whole Liu Laozhuang. His family has the most fields. There are already more than two hundred acres. Although it is scattered, it can still be harvested and brought back. Now don't talk about being full, even he is tired of eating meat. Those old brothers and brothers still say that he is talking clever words, how can he get tired of eating meat?!

It doesn't matter whose ability it is to have a good life at home, but he is the head of the house, isn't it?! When people talk about who is doing well, they always have to mention him Liu thin legs, and sigh a few words, 'I didn't expect this Liu thin legs.' When you are old, you can still develop. I never dreamed of it! ’

Erya saw that her grandfather was only showing off his good income this year, but he forgot to answer her question, so he set his eyes on his father's face. Her father also knew that the child's grandfather was crooked, so he hurriedly said, "This is good! Originally, I heard that an army came to your house to pull food, so I wanted to ask if you could bring my family's food with me. Later, your mother said that our family has too little food, but I am afraid that people will not look down on it. I think about it, too, who wants to toss for such a little food. It would be great if I could bring the grain to your house and help sell it together. ”

"Mother, this concern is not wrong, and you are right not to look for it. Their army collects grain from large households, and small farmers generally have very little grain, and they simply do not have the patience and time to collect it from house to house. If someone buys it for them in advance, they are willing to accept it, but they need to give a little hard-earned money in the middle, as well as wear and tear. Otherwise, why is it so much more expensive for the army to pull grain from grain merchants than to buy it directly from our family! Erya affirmed that her father didn't go directly to the past, and this matter was right.

After talking about this, she talked about Huigui's marriage, and her mother said to Erya: "Your second brother's marriage date has been selected, and it will be held on the eighth day of the first month of next month, and you will come over a day earlier to help me sort out the menu." At least eight large dishes, six small stir-fried dishes, and four cold dishes. I'm not going to look for a chef anymore, so can you be the head chef? ”

Erya hurriedly shook her head, "Mother! I can't be a chef, there are so many people in our old Liu family, and a family can have thirty or forty tables, if there are more of them, who can stand to cook so many dishes?! You can do it, pay for the two of you! Don't make me paralyzed! ”

Her grandmother scolded the second daughter-in-law next to her: "That's it! Now that the conditions at home are good, are you still reluctant to spend those two dollars? You really are! When you don't calculate, you calculate! It's not like a life at all. ”

Grandma Er has always been unaccustomed to this second daughter-in-law, she is a good person, but she has a bad temperament. You have to let everything, it's okay for your family, you let it come and go, it's a family, but if you let outsiders, it's a clear sue to people, you're so bullying.

However, this old lady has also accepted her fate recently, and if this person has a good life, he really doesn't have a strong temperament. These two daughters-in-law are useless themselves, but she will give birth! The daughter who was born was able to live a good life with a large number of people. And that's not all! When she is old, she can give birth to another son, who around here does not envy her. Even she, a mother-in-law, sometimes doesn't accept it when she thinks about it. She brought a rich dowry from her mother's family, and when she arrived at her in-law's house, she was competitive and unyielding, and she was in charge of the family, which one of her was not better than this second daughter-in-law? The result?! This second daughter-in-law 'comes from heaven when she sits on wealth at home', and she doesn't need to work hard for half a cent or the slightest effort to live a rich and satisfying life. And she worked hard all her life, but she only barely pulled the children up, married a daughter-in-law and raised grandchildren, this is her biggest medal!

This man's life is incomparable! (To be continued......)
