The Mo family added two servants, four small servants, and the population increased dramatically to sixteen, not including Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu and the fifteenth master of Xiaowan Village, sixteen people eat every day is also a big expense, but fortunately, the pickle workshop has always had income, and the family does not have to worry about their livelihood.

Lin Cuiping's dowry shop and grange, neither Shubai nor Li Niang had the intention of asking, Liu Shun and his father Liu Zhuangtou went to Xiaowan Village to receive sorghum seeds that day, and Li Niang also asked him to sign a contract.
This sorghum seed, the Mo family and the Du family are to be controlled in their hands, the longer the time drags on, the better, before Lin County Ling also wanted to get some seeds for the Lin family, but then he didn't send anyone to collect it, Lin Cuiping asked Liu Shun to inquire, only to know that her stepmother got the seeds from the Du family, and Mrs. Lin didn't want to owe the Mo family this favor.
The vegetables in the city are not easy to buy, and the price is also expensive, Uncle Fu often brings some fresh vegetables to Huali Hutong when he goes to the city to deliver goods, and the family has built a large cellar, made a lot of ice, and the vegetables are packed and put in the cellar, which can be eaten for several days.
Li Niang built a wooden shelf in the open space against the wall in the backyard, nailed a rectangular box with wood, reserved drainage holes, dug a drainage ditch, and then asked Uncle Fu to pull two carts of fertile soil into the city, and planted vegetables in these wooden boxes.
Li Niang didn't care about the garden vegetable shelf, Aunt Kuang and the two servants were much more attentive than her, watering and catching insects every day, and when the first handful of shallots was used, Aunt Kuang couldn't wait to send a family notice.
Now, there are three major views of Mo House, there is a whole wall in the front yard is covered with wisteria, the flowering period is the most prosperous in April and June, but now there are sporadic flower buds blooming in advance, and the dotted purple flowers probe the brain among the feathered green leaves.
Opposite the wisteria wall, two peach trees grow luxuriantly, much thicker than the average peach tree, except for Shubai and Li Niang, no one knows that these two peach trees have actually been planted for less than a year, and now, the peach blossoms bloom on the branches, attracting whose bees, the delicious peach is just around the corner.
Early in the morning, Li Niang came back from Xianzhuang, and saw that the empty big bed was still a little unaccustomed, since moving to Huali Hutong, Qingyuan lived alone in a yard, living next door to Li Niang, concentrating and calming Li Niang could hear the sound of his breathing, and the brother and sister-in-law lived in the first courtyard.
Hey, the family business is big, and the brothers and sisters are far apart, which is a bit hypocritical, but it is indeed not as easy to get close as in Xiaowan Village.
Walking out of the house, Li Niang saw Peach Blossom cleaning the yard, Peach Blossom is seven years old, very bold, Li Niang let her live alone in the east wing of this courtyard, she is not afraid, and she doesn't need to be called in the morning to know how to get up and clean.
"Good morning, Miss, the washing water has been boiled, and Mrs. Fang asked the slave maid to collect the clothes and wash them." Peach Blossom received the broom and reported it.
"Okay, you go into the house and collect your clothes, just in that basin, and come over and punch after delivering your clothes." Li Niang walked into the bathroom located in the west wing, this pattern is similar to that of Xiaowan Village, the stove room for boiling water, the washing room and the warehouse are all in the west wing, the maid lives in the east wing, Li Niang's study and piano room are in the west room, and the sleeping room is in the east room.
The only difference is that the door of the east and west houses is open in the hall, and there is only one door in and out of the entire main house.
Now the whole Mo house is different from when I first bought it, this is Shubai's own drawing to make people transform, almost tear down and start over, the first and second are divided into two small courtyards, and the backyard also has two slave living yards, each yard has an independent washroom and squatting pit toilet, the sewer is connected to the tertiary septic tank in the backyard with a customized ceramic pipe, and there is no smell at all when covered with a thick cover.
Unfortunately, the water supply was not done perfectly due to the limited conditions, and a new well was dug in the backyard, and the servants were asked to carry water to the large vat in each washroom every day for backup.
Even though Shubai was dissatisfied, Lin Cuiping still felt that this house was too comfortable to live in, and the prince's house was not so convenient.
Li Niang solved her physiological needs, went out of the yard, and came to the open space in the front yard through the mezzanine, except for the three servant women who were working in the kitchen, everyone else came, and they all had to follow her for morning exercises and boxing.
After playing Tai Chi three times as usual, Li Niang disbanded the team, tilted her head, and the four newly added little guys took the initiative to follow her to the peach tree, picked up the wooden sword on the weapon rack and learned swordsmanship from her.
Qingyuan dragged Tuanzi and ran over, his little face was flushed after the exercise, and his black jewel-like eyes were shining, "Second sister and second sister, when can Tuanzi and I learn swordsmanship from you?" ā
"Wait until you're twice as tall as this sword." Li Niang took a wooden sword and showed it to Qingyuan, Xiaowa suddenly became discouraged, he is only half a head taller than the sword now, when will this be.
"Qingyuan come over and go to breakfast with my sister-in-law." Lin Cuiping beckoned at the gate of the main courtyard, her complexion was wonderful, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, her complexion was ruddy and shiny, less than a month after marrying into the Mo family, she had undergone obvious changes, and the longer she grew, the better.
Qingyuan didn't move for a while, until Li Niang glared at him, he dragged the dumplings and ran away, why did he always drag the dumplings? It's not because the group is a little chubby, Qingyuan dislikes him for walking slowly, and drags him to go faster.
The four small guys are lined up, handsome and handsome, two big ones are called Mo Yu and Mo Wen, and the two small ones are ink chess and ink paintings, and the four of them are wearing the cyan short shirts and pants issued by the Mo family, but they are also very energetic, and they all listen to the young lady explain the swordsmanship with full attention, and the wife said, whether they learn well or not, which is related to their future.
After teaching swordsmanship for half an hour, Li Niang announced the end of the martial arts class, and then gathered to read and practice words after breakfast, her requirement is that each person must learn ten words a day, and can write and memorize to pass the test, don't think about eating dinner if you can't pass the pass, and finish learning "Thousand Words", the cultural class is completed.
Explain today's ten words, Li Niang's task today is completed, and then there is nothing to do, so boring!
Fortunately, Uncle Fu came soon, he sent the payment for the settlement with Changsheng today, reconciled with his wife, and said that some big and small things happened in Xiaowan Village and Jinshui Town, today he wants to talk about conscription, and the county government issued a notice again, to transport military rations to the northwest for the second time, there are not many people who can get together ten taels of silver, but those who have been there don't want to go, afraid of dying, it is estimated that someone is going to sell the field.
When Lin Cuiping dealt with the feed, she had to take Li Niang with her, and at this time Li Niang opened her mouth and said to Uncle Fu: "As long as someone sells the field, we will buy it, eat as much as you want, and you can also use it in Xinsheng Village, come over and get the silver after negotiating, and then let Liu Shun go to the yamen with you to handle the transfer."
