Chapter 7 New Family Plans
When the Qi family saw that their little daughter was going to make trouble outside, it was really not good-looking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info others can't take care of their own housework, but they can't talk to others about their own family affairs. remembered what the child's father said last night, and happily admitted, "I collected the money for you, how can you understand this at such a young age." β
"Mom, we're doing a good job, and we didn't spend money indiscriminately. My sister also kept an account. Lin Yukou said busily.
"Yes, yes, Mom, you can return it to us. Please, Mom~" The other three also chimed in. Little Brother Lin was even more exaggerated, holding his mother's thighs with his two little hands. Looking up at his little head, with tears in his eyes, he looked at his mother, "Mom, I don't have money to buy candy now, woo~~~ I want to eat maltose~~"
"Well, you little boys." Qi saw the tears in his youngest son's eyes flickering and flickering. She must have said that if she didn't say a word, the little tears would come down immediately, it was really worrying.
"Okay, okay, Mom promised you." Before the words fell, I saw a few children almost jumping up with joy, feeling as if they had been fooled, and added
"But I grew the vegetables you sell, right? It doesn't seem reasonable for you to just sell it and take all the money. In the future, you will have to pay for the food when you come to me to get food~~" After speaking, he looked at his four children triumphantly and said in his heart: They are all children born to me, and I can't cure you when I am a mother.
The four children were a little dumbfounded when they looked at each other, and what Mom said was also reasonable. So what to do?
"Mom, let's take the big head, and the four of us will divide it." Since it is destined to be divided or strive for more points, Lin Yujuan said.
"No, I'm an adult, I'll take the big head. If you don't have the vegetables I grow, what money do you sell? Qi didn't give in
"Mom, this is our sister's dowry money, as well as my brother's wife." Lin Yujuan didn't know what shyness was, and she said it all. Changed the eldest sister Lin Sujuan, she was embarrassed to say, girls are precocious, and often hear what the village people say, and they know a lot about marrying daughters-in-law and girls.
Most of the countrymen can't give too much dowry to their daughters, so many girls do some needlework and save some dowry by themselves. But that's not much, most of them still rely on their families.
"Yo yo, my little girl knows how to save for a dowry!" Qi Shi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and he felt very relieved. "Little girl, you dare to say anything. I forgot that during the Chinese New Year, you talked nonsense and asked your third mother to beat your ears and scrape. It's only been a long time since you've forgotten about it. β
Lin Yujuan heard this, and her face was suddenly full of black lines, and she rarely thought about it recently, but her mother brought it up again.
"Okay, in the future, the money from selling vegetables will be divided fifty-fifty." Qi's final word.
As soon as I heard this, several children knew that this was the only way. Lin Yujuan asked again: "Then the other dishes we make ourselves are not our own dishes, so don't share them with our mother, right?"
Qi thought that since he said that the vegetables were planted by himself and asked for sharing, then it would be difficult to divide the wild vegetables they dug and the screws they fished. Forget about what to do with your own children. "Okay, okay, that's it, Mom only shares the money for the vegetables she grows. Other cheap ones don't take advantage of you. After speaking, he went back to the room and took out three hundred yuan and handed it to the eldest girl, Lin Xiujuan.
The sisters and brothers didn't expect things to go quite smoothly, and they thought that they wouldn't be able to get the money back so easily. Although the money is less than half, the rest is really your own. However, in the future, when the money is less, you will have to be more diligent, and the vegetables sold by everyone in the market are actually the same. There are only a few kinds of vegetables that can be grown in each season. If you want others to buy your own food, there must be something that attracts people, isn't it? Not only should I let my mother plant all the kinds of plants she can plant, but also pick more wild vegetables. Now there are shepherd's cabbage in spring, and there are maran heads and wolfberry heads when it is warmer later.
Qi now agrees with their approach and is used to the children's life as a small vegetable vendor. After all, a few small ones don't have to take their own expenses with her now. After this afternoon, the mother and daughter chatted while busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, I haven't eaten meat for many days, so I think a little bit. Mom, buy us meat to eat," Lin Yujuan said exaggeratedly
"Don't tell me this, I didn't hear it, you want to eat meat and you have money, buy it yourself." Qi is reluctant to spend money, and he is afraid that he is a little down-to-earth with money in his hand.
"Mom, it's right that we should do small business, haven't you seen that the rich people in the town are basically doing business? But people do a lot more than we do. We didn't go every day this month, and it rained heavily and the road was so muddy that we couldn't pull it out for half a day when we stepped on it. In the future, we will either live on the street, or we will have to buy a small shed boat ourselves. Lin Yujuan's words suddenly jumped from eating meat to buying a boat and buying a house. Everyone is a little confused.
"Buying a boat, a boat will cost a lot of silver. How much does it cost to buy a small wooden boat like Gu Lao's family? Lin Xiujuan thought about it, walking was too tired, it was still very slow, and she couldn't hold much things, of course it was good to have a boat.
"It is estimated that it will cost four or five copper coins, and if you want to add a shed to sleep well, you have to add consistent copper coins to it. It's good to buy a boat, so you don't have to carry the rice bales to carry so far to transport grain when the farm is busy. The ears of rice dragged on the ground and had to fall off a lot on the way. It's a pity that the family can't come up with that much money now. "The Qi clan also wants to buy a boat, but how can they spend all the money. When the time comes, there is no money that is urgently needed, but I don't want to borrow it from others, and it's okay to borrow it, but what if I can't borrow it.
"Mom, don't be discouraged, we have to have an idea. It's March, I heard you're going to catch chicks and ducklings? Or if you catch a few more this year, you can sell them for a few bucks at the end of the year. Raise a few more sheep or pigs. The four of us siblings will definitely be able to raise it. Then maybe our family will be able to buy a boat next year. β
"Yo yo, I can't see that you little girl thinks too much. The pig can raise two, go back and ask your dad to clean up the pigsty. You can't raise too many chickens, and you have to make noise when you run to the vegetable field in front of you and eat all the people's vegetables. You can keep a few more ducks, and you can find food by putting them in the river. It's this duck that lays eggs indiscriminately, and the river often picks up other people's ducks. This sheep? Qi was very patient to tell his daughter about the great relationship between these livestock raising. There is no surplus food at home to feed the chickens and ducks, so they have to find food on their own.
Can Lin Yujuan say that she raises sheep partly because she wants to drink goat's milk? Still don't talk about it, now you have to convince the Qi clan first.
"Mom, I see that other people raise one or two sheep when they go to the ground. If there is grass on the side of the road, tie the sheep there, and then bring it back when you are done. Besides, our pigs can't have a variety of sweet potatoes. Don't all yams, rattans, pigs and sheep eat them, and it should be no problem for four or five of us to raise two pigs and three sheep. Even if the chickens are gone, there are few eggs without food in winter. Ducks can raise dozens more, and there are so many rivers here that they go to the river to find small fish and shrimp to eat. β
"Dozens? It's not good in winter, it's too much to raise. Without food, ducks don't eat grass. β
"Mom, after harvesting the wheat and rice, all the things that fell in the field? The whole ear is called picking up and going home, and it can't be wasted. But what about the grains that fell to the ground? Then it's not easy to pick it up, hehe, then our sisters and brothers will drive the ducks to the field to eat. It's a pity that we have to plant two crops in a hurry, and if we only plant one season of grain, the ducks can eat all the grain that has fallen from the field one by one. In this way, our ducks eat spring and autumn grain, and when the time comes, they will quickly sell it as soon as they see that they are fat. You don't have to sell it during the New Year, you can sell it during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I lost weight after staying up all winter. β
As soon as these words came out, yes, why didn't you notice the grain falling from the field before? If you can't pick it up, it's food, and people can't pick it up, but chickens and ducks can go to the field to eat. rushed directly to the field to eat the grain, and the duck manure was also pulled directly into the field.
"Ah, my little girl, what do you think? It's distressing to see the grain falling from the ground, and it won't be wasted now. Well, it's a lot of money to catch ten chickens, thirty ducklings, and pigs and sheep. I'll have to calculate how much I want, at least two dollars. β
"It's okay when I think about this, it's not like a chicken pounces on the ground and sees a chicken pounce on it. My lobby sister was able to do anything when she was my age. β
When it comes to the lobby sister, there is no one who is unconvinced. Think about your own children, well, housework is not as good as others, this bit of intelligence is not so eye-catching. After all, there are always people who have some convenience that stands out, no.
Is Lin Yujuan smart? Not necessarily, it's just that you have seen more in your life. Therefore, talents need to see and hear more, and the more they see in the world, the more things they will know.
She can say that she has seen on the farm before, after the autumn harvest, when a cartload of ducks is brought into the field to eat grain. When I came, the ducks were only a pound heavy, and after a month or two, they were all five or six pounds. And keep walking, eating, eating, walking. So this kind of duck meat is very delicious.
"Okay, then I'll go shopping with you tomorrow. But what if you don't have enough money? Isn't it time to hand over the money for a few of you? β
What do you mean by lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot? That's it. No, we have to negotiate again. Otherwise, some of them will not complain against me.
"Mom, we'll pay for itβbut you don't think that's good. We paid for the pigs and sheep or something, and in the end, the money from the sale of the money returned to us. β
"If you return the pigs and sheep, you know how to pick a big head. The ducks are yours, and the chickens are left to lay eggs and not sold. Pigs and sheep belong to the family. β
"Mom, can you not sell the sheep, keep the little sheep."
"Let's talk about it when I buy it, I haven't seen anything yet, so I'm going to divide the money."
So the next night of the same day, Qi went to someone to borrow a boat. With so many pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, it is definitely not convenient to take a hitch boat. After borrowing the boat, he called Lin Guilu the next day, and the family of six went to the town together. When they arrived on the street, they were divided into two groups, selling vegetables and buying chickens and ducks at the same time. I don't know how the Qi family told Lin Guilu, and they are also quite supportive of these at home. When I went back at noon, I was already loaded with a boatload of small animals, haha, when I was young, I was very cute and cute.
In the evening, the four sisters and brothers looked at the money box that had become empty again, and Brother Lin sighed. The little kid now knows that money can be exchanged for his favorite candy and all kinds of snacks and toys. Lin Xiujuan had no choice but to coax him, saying that she would be rich again selling vegetables tomorrow, and it would be the Qingming Festival in a few days. The streets must be very lively.
