"Grandpa, village uncle, you have helped us a lot, and you can't blame grandpa for what happened back then. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't take things on your own, otherwise we won't have a good time. Zhang Jiahang persuaded Uncle Zhang. In fact, Uncle Zhang didn't want Zhang Ziyang to lose his brotherhood for the sake of the old house, so he agreed to Zhang Ziyang to buy the old house with money, but it was impossible to stop it when it got to that point.

"Okay, good, good boy, don't talk about these things, I heard your village chief uncle say in the morning, tomorrow you are going to pick up waste in the field. Is there no food at home, wait and ask your aunt to pack some food and bring it back. Uncle Zhang wiped his tears and said.

"No need, grandpa, I still have food at home, and I also caught some wild things today. Also, the village chief said that it was already troublesome to talk to the people who could go to the fields to pick up grain, and we couldn't always let you help, so you can rest assured. Today we are here to pay off some of the money we owe. As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his pocket, counted them, and gave four taels of silver to the village chief.

Seeing the questioning expressions of the grandfather and the village chief, he explained, "I know that I will have to pay taxes in a few days." I heard that this year's taxes have increased again, and grandpa, such a big family has to pay a lot of taxes this time. This silver is taken from the jade pendant left by my mother. Be of good cheer, for all are from the right path. ”

Seeing Uncle Zhang nodding, the village chief took the silver and sighed: "Jiahang, you kid is just too heavy-minded." Fortunately, you have the fame of talent and are exempt from taxes, so it's better to study! I hope that a few boys in the family can also show off their talents, even if they are exempted from Yao military service. ”

If it weren't for the shortage of money at home, he really didn't want to accept it. This year's harvest is good, and before the harvest is finished, the tax in the yamen has arrived. It's nearly 20% heavier than last year, and their family gets more than 5 taels of silver! The good mood is gone.

"When it comes to picking up grain in the field, it's not a big deal, tomorrow you go to the landlord Wu's land first, they have the most land, and it's a piece. Don't go to the rest of the house yet, they haven't had time to pick it up again later, and I'll let you know when there's news. Especially don't go to the land of your uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle, remember! If you have money at home, remember to tell us. ”

Just now he and the old man were discussing the matter of paying taxes, and the old man was going to take the coffin book! There is not much money in the family, a few babies ask for money to go to school, and the grocery store has just entered a batch of goods and the business is barely strong, so the village chief saw that Zhang Jiahang handed over the silver money to save the emergency, and he sighed and was happy in his heart. These children are governors, understand etiquette, remember favors, and will be productive in the future, so they will help more in the future, and let the old man feel at ease!

"Well, thank you for the kindness of the village chief, I think so too. When we're done, we'll go first, and you can rest well. After Zhang Jiahang finished speaking, he took his younger brother, Uncle Zhang, and the village chief to say goodbye and go home.

After the village chief's family left, the village chief's family called the Lin family, gave her the silver, and told her to pay more attention to these children in the future, so as not to be bullied. The old man nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

After washing, the eldest sister took down the embroidery basket on the wall, put the embroidery thread bought by the eldest brother into it with an oil lamp and began to embroider a handkerchief, on which was embroidered with a willow tree, which was lifelike and beautiful. Zhang Yue'er rubbed beside her and was fascinated. This is a real version of pure handwork, interspersed with stitches and threads, and then another willow leaf appears.

Zhang Yueyao looked at Yue'er and was fascinated, and said with a smile: "How is the eldest sister embroidered?" Is it pretty? ”

"Eldest sister, the willow tree you embroidered is so beautiful, just like the real thing."

"This embroidery is double-sided embroidery, the mother said that it was passed down by the grandmother, and the daughter is not passed on to the man, and each generation is passed on to the daughter's family. You can learn from me when you have time. He explained to her while embroidering patterns.

Zhang Yue'er looked at the ten tiny fingers stretched out in front of her, and thought that it was very difficult to do high-level manual work with needles! I used to see my friend's little cousin playing with cross-stitch embroidery, and I was itchy to see it, so I also went to buy one, but my hand was pricked, not to mention, how to look at the embroidered things felt a little strange, and then I was reluctant to throw it away and was stolen by her. Forget it, don't do this porcelain work!

"Eldest sister, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's that I can't learn, that needle is disobedient somehow when I get it in my hand, and the things embroidered are not like anything! I've learned to embroider a cross-stitch before, but I can't do it with a high skill like yours! Zhang Yue'er raised her head and said seriously, she was afraid that the eldest sister would not believe it, so let her do it again.

Thinking that Yue'er was like this in the past, when her mother taught her embroidery to play, she always prick her fingers, and then gave up after teaching her a few times. Forget it, in the future, she will help Yue'er embroider the wedding dress. If you can't do it, just buy it for some money. Yue'er, let her be happy and do what she likes! "Okay, eldest sister will help you in the future, don't be sad." Zhang Yueyao coaxed Yue'er and said.

Who's sad? I'm just worried! Zhang Yue'er didn't want to talk about them anymore when they spoiled and coaxed her as a child, and it was useless to say it anyway. Turning the subject, we talked about modern cross-stitch.

The next day, when Zhang Yue'er got up, they had already gone to the field to pick up waste. I don't know when the eldest brother and the third brother came back last night, I originally wanted to wait for them to come back before sleeping, but unfortunately I didn't fall asleep.

At noon, the eldest sister came back happily with a basket. Remove the straw from the basket and pour out the grain to dry in the backyard.

"Yue'er, you're hungry, the eldest sister will go cook after drying. These are all we picked up in the morning, I just weighed it, and it has to be about two catties to dry. This is white rice, and you have to pay eight cents a pound! ”

Zhang Yue'er saw her smile so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she stroked her forehead a little. Just a little food to see her happy, I don't want to think about it, I went out as soon as it was dawn. Forget it, just let her be happy!

"Eldest sister, you dry slowly, I ate something at the bottom, and there is still food left in the morning!" Then he said, "I'm going to go to the field with you in the afternoon, and if it's dry, just bring me a small quilt and block it under the straw." ”

"Okay, when the eldest brother comes back, I will tell him." Seeing Yue'er's little adult, Zhang Yueyao thought about it and nodded in response. She also didn't want Yue'er to always stay at home alone, and she felt more at ease by her side.

When the eldest sister finished cooking, the eldest brother and the third brother also came back with their things. The two are as excited as the eldest sister. The grain brought back was also dried, and then the meal was opened together. Today, I fried a mother-in-law's dish, a plate of mountain chicken, a shepherd's cabbage soup, and a plate of multigrain steamed buns.

"Big brother, eldest sister, third brother, come to eat meat, I fried a big plate today, and I have left it for the second brother. Eat more today, and we'll go back to work in the afternoon. As soon as Zhang Yue'er opened the meal, she immediately served them vegetables.

The pheasant meat was made by Yue'er hard, and the eldest brother only agreed yesterday, and she will play today. Zhang Yueyao had no choice but to cling to Yue'er. It's hard for them to refuse what Yue'er insists on, they have to do it sooner or later anyway, so take advantage of her wishes.
