Thinking of this, the eternal daughter-in-law was a little congested, "If he really can't even make up the food for paying taxes, I'm afraid that my father will let our family make it for them, and at that time, our family will be sad." ”

You must know that Grandma Han and Grandma Xiucai are mortal enemies, if Grandpa Han really wants to use his own food to help make up for Han Yongsong, Grandma Han will definitely not agree, so Grandpa Han's family will definitely make trouble.

Besides, after paying the tax, the Han Yong family itself will not have much food left, at most it is enough for the family to chew, if you have to help Han Yongsong make up the tax grain, then in the next half a year, the Han Yong family will definitely not be better.

But if you can't pay the summer tax, the land will be taken back by the government, and if the farmer has no land, it is equivalent to having no life, and there is no way to live, no matter how Han Yongsong says it, he is also a descendant of the Han family, and now Han Xiucai is only left with such a son, and it is impossible for Grandpa Han to watch him being forced to a dead end.

Aunt Qin cut off disapplausively, "According to what we said, we shouldn't care, Han Yongsong actually took Uncle Han's mind and dared to do this, otherwise there would really be no way to live, you see if he dares to spoil that land like this." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xiuniang with a happy face, "Ah Xiu, fortunately, your family doesn't have any food now, and his Han Yongsong's idea can't hit your family." ”

Xiuniang opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Han Chuxue took it with a smile, "Aunt Qin is not right, our family is not without food, but there is no food at all, the land that our family originally allocated is now planted with beans, and the five acres taken back from the fifth uncle were rented to you because there was no manpower to cultivate at that time, even if there is a harvest, it is only five or six stone of grain, which is only enough to pay taxes, and the family has to spend money to buy it, and now there is another expenditure, now it depends on this batch of hemp, if it is not rectified, My family is probably sad this year. ”

I didn't expect this baby to complain about her bitterness with one mouth, and the daughter-in-law still wanted to say something, Liu Guan's father and son's side of the water was boiling, and it just happened that a batch of hemp stems were cleaned here, and they just took it to cook for them, so the conversation could only stop.

Then boiling, rubbing, pumping, and drying hemp, a series of efforts, one by one, were so busy that they had nothing to chat, and the topic of what to do if Han Yongsong couldn't make up the summer tax was also put aside.

It's just that Han Chuxue has secretly written down this matter, Han Yongsong can't afford to pay taxes, and the first person who will find him will definitely not be Grandpa Han, but his own family, that is, Grandpa Han is afraid that he will hit his own family as soon as possible, so she deliberately said something in front of Han Yong's daughter-in-law.

With the cooperation of a large group of people, the head hemp collected by the Han family finally completed the first step of the remediation work, that is, degumming and separating hemp fibers, and the next step is to spin hemp fibers into yarn and then weave them into cloth.

This live Xiuniang understands, the eldest girl has also learned some from her since she was a child, and Liang Juan and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family are also good at this, so Han Chuxue directly threw this job to her mother, anyway, with Wu Yuzhen on the side, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family are not slippery people, and there will be no problems.

Of course, it is not very scientific to rely on a few of them to get so much hemp, first of all, although the mother has improved a lot, but it is still not too tired, and then Yang Debiao will have to set off when he comes back in August, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to come back until the Spring Festival, so these linen must be woven before this.

So it is necessary to invite the weaver girl, the women in the village because there is no mulberry field at home, there are not many people who understand this matter, and in the end Master Huang stood up, he recognized some weavers who could be introduced to the Han family, so this matter was handed over to him to do, and the Han family took advantage of this time to order a batch of looms.

The second is that the work of spinning can be done first, and the hemp fibers that have been separated can not be woven directly, but must be spun into spindles first.

Fortunately, this work is not only understood by Xiuniang and others at home, but also by the women in Xiatang Village, although the people in Xiatang Village do not have mulberry fields and cannot grow hemp, but relying on Yuanbao Mountain, there is no shortage of wild kudzu vines.

The kudzu fiber extracted from the kudzu vine is the main raw material for weaving the kudzu cloth, the short brown made of the kudzu cloth is the most commonly worn by the men in the village when they work, and it is dirt-resistant and wear-resistant and cool, so when the kudzu vine is luxuriant, the basic family will go up the mountain to cut the kudzu vine and spin the kudzu fiber into kudzu yarn, and then take it to the town to change the kudzu cloth.

Therefore, the work of spinning spindles, Xiuniang directly looked for people in the village, every ten spindles for a penny, this wage does not sound high, but spinning spindles do not require extremely high technology like weaving, it is completely a work that practice makes perfect, women who are used to this work can spin dozens a day, that is to say, they can earn a few pennies a day, which is a very attractive income for women who have always been trapped at home and can't earn money.

So as soon as the salary went out, a group of women immediately came to the door, it was impossible to invite them all, Xiuniang was having a headache, Wu Yuzhen reminded, just find a woman who works hard to take the lead, think about it is really right.

So Xiuniang picked Grandma Han, Grandma Han suffered because she was young, and she couldn't do heavy work when she was old, but the intensity of spinning spindles is not great, and she can adjust her working hours by herself, so as not to be tired, and now there are few wealthy families in the village, and a few pennies a day can help the family somewhat, so when Grandma Han heard her daughter-in-law go back to talk about the work of the Han family, she was also moved.

After picking Grandma Han, Xiuniang handed over the work of picking people to her under the reminder of Wu Yuzhen, Grandma Han's seniority is not low in the village, and she is a little spicy for people's profit, with her in charge, no matter whether she is elected or not, no one dares to make trouble.

In a few days, the Han family's hemp yarn was fully spun, and because of the Han grandmother's watch, no one dared to come out of the moth, the quality of the spindle was very good, so that Xiuniang saw it, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she deliberately gave Grandma Han more money when she paid her salary, so that Grandma Han was embarrassed and smiled.

Just when the Han family's spinning work was completed, most of the families in the village had ripe rice and were ready to be harvested.

Lin Zi and other long-term workers have their own families to divide the field, at this time they naturally want to go home to help, but the Han family's hemp has been harvested, and the beans and those crops will not be harvested until a little later, so there is no inconvenience, Xiuniang is very happy to put a lot of long-term workers on leave.

Because Grandpa Han had come to help harvest hemp, thinking that their family also had more than ten acres of paddy fields, but the labor force was insufficient, so Xiuniang also sent the strong laborers of the family to help. (To be continued.) )
