Chapter 6: Old Man Mu's 'Insight'

The sun is not covered at noon, but even if it is hot, the work in the fields cannot be stopped.

Although they live in the village, the men of the Mu family have jobs and can't take care of the fields, so most of the world is rented out.

But thanks to the fact that the Da Zhao family estimated that their sons would suffer at the hands of the Xiao Zhao family, so they let the Xiao Zhao family enter the door on the condition of separating the fields, at least their children would not be hungry at that time.

However, the Da Zhao family also saw through his father and mother in the end, and knew that they favored the little Zhao family, which can be seen from the fact that he came over to persuade himself to accept his sister as a child when he was seriously ill.

However, his brothers are still fair, at least they strongly oppose the fact that Xiao Zhao married in. And Uncle Mu Limuyi's family does take good care of their brothers, which is a later story.

Therefore, when the Da Zhao family proposed to give his brothers two-thirds of the land, his mother's brother also supported it.

All in all, Mu Li Muyi each got three acres of land, and he never sold it.

Later, these acres of land also played a role in paying for the tuition of several boys who went to school.

These acres are planted with cotton, but it is a special kind of light cotton that is harvested in April.

This kind of cotton is not produced in high yields and is extremely difficult to grow, and requires specialized personnel to grow it, but this cotton is purchased at a high official price.

Liu and Shen are pseudo-first-order abilities who can use Yuan tools for cultivation and have officially recognized planting abilities.

The yield of light cotton per mu is only more than 100 catties, after processing until it meets the final purchase standard, every 100 catties of raw materials can only get 70 catties of finished products, but the purchase price of ordinary quality for every three catties of finished products is 1 silver coin, and 50 catties of finished products can be obtained after finishing every 100 catties of raw materials, and the price is doubled. You must know that the total annual income of an ordinary family in Dachuan Town is only about two or three gold coins.

(1 Gold = 100 Silver = 10,000 Copper)

There are not many families who grow this kind of cotton in the village, but there are almost no who do it for finishing, because the finishing needs to be assisted by a bullet press.

The price of the bullet press car is not expensive, but he can't help but consume a lot of yuan, if it is not used on a large scale, the gains outweigh the losses.

The annual output of the cotton of the Liu family and the Shen family is basically three or four hundred catties. Originally, it was all used to subsidize the family, and the situation in this family will be much better.

However, the old man was very opposed when he first planted it, and he thought that he should grow grain in his field, even though the land had already been divided among his two sons.

Because at that time, Old Man Mu and the others had already sold all the land in their hands, and Old Man Mu's idea was to live together, and he was their father, could the food of the eldest and second family not be taken out?

In the end, this incident alarmed the clan elder and the village chief, and it was the old man Mu who was at fault, because this land was divided into the Mu Li Muyi brothers many years ago.

But the word filial piety is oppressive, and the old man Mu occupies the seniority, and in the end, the brothers can only take a step back and promise that no one will give thirty catties of raw cotton every year, and then it will be temporarily over. In this way, Old Man Mu, they can net fourteen or fifteen silver coins by doing nothing all these years.

It's almost summer, and it's nineteen o'clock now, and most of the people who work in the fields or work in the town are back.

The two sisters were still in the kitchen, because even if they could really eat separately, they would have to wait for the old man Mu to make a statement.

Speaking of this old man wood, although his shortcomings are difficult to describe, there is one thing, the things he admits are basically, and he can only say that he will basically not change.

But it is this that Mu Lan feels that this old man still has a little bit of cuteness.

Old man Mu is in a good mood today, the furniture store received a big order today, and the daughter of Sun Yuanwai in the town decided to marry in October, and the furniture in Miss Sun's dowry was handed over to Honghe Woodware Store (that is, where Old Man Mu worked).

This list brings a lot of income to the furniture store, although it will be busy from now until the end of September, but the final dividend of this list is at least ten silver coins, which is comparable to most of the dividends in previous years.

However, his good mood became not very good after being pulled back to the room by Xiao Zhao and saying that it was not very good.

"I told you not long ago that I shouldn't talk about it again!" Old Man Mu suppressed his voice and said, "I've analyzed it for you, why don't you understand?" I don't agree with this! ”

This reaction was within Xiao Zhao's expectations, no matter how they said it, they had been together for decades, and each other's tempers were almost understood.

In the face of the old man's anger, Xiao Zhao, who had a bottom in his heart, did not flinch: "You have analyzed it with me, I still want to mention it, if I have no reason, I will not say so!" You don't know me yet! There is no reason for me to refute you! You listen to me first and then decide! ”

Old man Mu originally wanted to reprimand angrily, but seeing that Xiao Zhao's expression didn't seem to be fake, thinking about it, he still knew what his wife was like, and there was no reason why he would not disobey what he said.

Seeing that Old Man Mu had the intention of listening, Xiao Zhao hurriedly told the news that Qian said in the afternoon.

After listening to Xiao Zhao's speech, the old man Mu quieted down, took a deep breath with his cigarette stick, and Xiao Zhao, who was familiar with him, knew that he was thinking about something.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Zhao interrupted Old Man Mu's contemplation: "Master, can you give a sentence or not?" If you doubt the truth of this news, we can ask Ah Jian to inquire before making a decision. ”

Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Old Man Mu shook his head and paused: "This thing is true!" ”

Hearing Old Man Mu so sure, Xiao Zhao felt strange, "Have you heard anyone say it?" ”

Old Man Mu shook his head, "This kind of thing happened before, but at that time, your family probably hadn't moved to Donghua County yet, so you don't know!" Since this kind of thing has happened, there is no reason for us to help the eldest and second child pay the grain. ”

Take another puff of cigarette, "Also, don't tell the third child about this matter, the third child is in a hurry and it will not be good if he doesn't show his feet." Also, knock on the third daughter-in-law, don't leak the wind outside! ”

"If this is true, then let's send a letter to a few families who have dealings with our family! It's good to sell personal favors! ”

"No, you can't say it. Each family belongs to his own family, and you don't go to join in the fun. We will always know this, but we must not say it to our family, and if something happens, we will not be able to get rid of it. It's good that we know for ourselves. It's time for our family to secretly buy this food now. ”

Knocking on the ashes, the old man Mu looked relieved, "Fortunately, our family has been buying food to eat, and now there is enough time, let's be careful and prepare more." In addition to buying grain in our village and town, I took advantage of my rest days to go to the big market in several neighboring towns to buy more food. By the way, I went to rent my eldest brother's bull running (a special ox cart for pulling goods, the bull running is fast and stable and load-bearing, usually used to transport construction equipment), and said that some of the wooden furniture that our family has accumulated will be sold. When the time comes, buy some rice under the cover of furniture. ”

Old man Mu quickly made a decision, "It's better to settle this matter as soon as possible, I'll mention it while I have dinner today, and you can talk about it, and then I'll just push the boat down the river and agree!" ”

"Okay, that's it!" With the goal, Xiao Zhao's family is full of energy, and he has long wanted to clean up the old family's and the second family, so let you sit for a while, and wait for the grain to see how you jump.

Xiao Zhao thought about it and the Liu family and the Shen family might beg her for relief after this matter was happy, compared to this, they had to cook their own food or something, didn't they have their own daughter-in-law? She should have something to do.

Of course, what Xiao Zhao was thinking now was based on the fact that Liu and Shen didn't know the news, and if she knew about Liu, they wouldn't have daydreamed like this.
