Chapter 9: What You're Doing
9
Seeing that the wheat harvest was about to be harvested, everyone felt very strange, how could Sisi's family have no land, how could they be busier than they were preparing for the autumn harvest.
In fact, the main work of the Lao Tian family was the Liu family, although there is a saying that women can't enter the melon field, but their family doesn't care, and the melon field is also taken care of by the Liu family.
Niu's never worked on the grounds of taking care of her son's study in the Xianggong Mansion, she didn't do it, and Cui Qiao didn't go to the ground on the grounds of taking care of the children. The third child of the Tian family originally helped the family buy and sell watermelons to make some extra money, but when he saw that his mother got forty taels of silver at once, he saw that he was going to be busy with farming again, so he deceived Diao's two taels of silver and said that he would go out to do business, and he would not go home at all. Tian Sui'er is the life of the young lady who holds herself, and she can't do that rough work.
Now that the Liu family doesn't care about them, they don't even know how to cook them.
Sisi feels that she is really a good person, she is really happy to help others, and she helps them pick watermelons every night.
On this day, the patriarch came, and he was the one who pulled the bias in the first place. Sisi immediately grinned, Liu was afraid that she was fooling around, so he hurriedly asked her to feed the chickens, this time she could raise it openly, and no one could care about it.
To say that the courtyard of the Sisi family was still attentive back then, Tian Wenheng and the Liu family have been married for eight years and have no children, and the money they saved is all used to buy this property. Five large brick houses, left and right wings, the three wings on the left are the kitchen and dining room, the right wing room is the warehouse, and the backyard also has a firewood room, a granary, a chicken coop, and a pigsty. There are also five acres of watered land as a vegetable garden, which can be regarded as a solid family in Fenhe Bay. It's a pity that the past is gone, and the full moon is not complete.
"Ah, Patriarch, you drink tea."
The Liu family put a Tianmu porcelain tea bowl on the table next to the patriarch, and then hurriedly lowered his hands and stood up, not daring to say anything, patriarch, that is the local soil emperor, but he can't be lazy. And this patriarch is a smiling tiger, and he is used to cheating people behind his back.
"That's the case, Liu, I won't say anything about it, your father-in-law let people beat you, do you know?" The patriarch is very simple, and there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and it is not good to gossip.
Quack, the slightest bit of listening to the sound outside the window on the stool almost fell off the stool without pleasure, deserved it, and played well.
"Also, I don't know, my family is busy these days." Liu replied timidly, his heart churning, did he show his wealth? I'm very low-key.
The patriarch nodded, his eyes wandering to look at the cloth of the Sisi family's house, in fact, he had seen it several times, but the more he looked at it, the more jealous he felt.
There is an incense burner on the table table against the wall in the middle, and the wall is the statue of Guan Gong carved in gold lacquer wood, and there is also a couplet. Horizontal batch, loyalty and righteousness.
On both sides of the incense burner is a bean green glazed jar, but instead of putting grains in it, Sisi creatively inserted a bouquet of melon flowers on one side and a bouquet of winter melon flowers on the other.
There is a square table in front of the table, a chair on each side of the table, a huge flower pot on each side of the chair, a podocarpus on the left, and a water lily in the blue and white porcelain vat in front of the square table.
On the left and right sides of the wall, there are two rosewood chairs, the chairs are covered with brocade cushions, and in the middle of the chair is a carved table, on which is a blooming jasmine.
However, neither Sisi nor Yu Ming would have thought that this fragrance that could make people feel happy not only did not sweep away the haze in the patriarch's heart, but also made him hold a grudge.
"Your father-in-law is old, and he can't tell the difference between raw and cooked melons, so he doesn't go into the town to sell melons, so people will beat them."
Liu hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, no matter how stupid a person is, she has to remember it for a long time, not to mention that she is not stupid, she is just honest and uninformed.
The patriarch rolled his eyelids and looked at it, he also knew that the Liu family was frightened by the Tian family, so he quickly changed the topic to the focus.
"What do your father-in-law and mother-in-law mean, they are old and can't plant anymore, so they are ready to sell that melon field, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders? They want you to give the next. ”
Cut, his grandmother dropped, and as soon as she heard it, she jumped off the stool, she had to take care of it, and the batter mother was not very reliable.
Liu is an honest person, and she goes to pick other people's watermelons with Sisi every day, and she really can't bear it. Now that I heard that Tian Laogen was beaten, she was even more upset, and as soon as the patriarch said that people were going to sell land, she was suddenly happy. is another person who has no city government, and the little light in his eyes has made the patriarch see it clearly.
"But, but." Liu Shi was excited, and then she had her own careful thoughts, and she benefited a lot from watching Sisi bargain with people at the gate of Baiyun Academy last time. "I don't have any money right now."
It's not that I really don't have money, I just want to learn what Sisi looks like and get more benefits for myself.
The patriarch's eyes squinted and picked up the tea bowl, "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law also thought of this for you, anyway, the surname Yu is not there, can you use the house as a mortgage for the time being, there are ready-made watermelons growing in the field, and they will be able to return to their roots soon." Seeing Liu's hesitation, he had another plan, "Niece and daughter-in-law, of course, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are not authentic, your capable daughter-in-law will sell it when she says it, if you think they can't believe it, I can lend you this money first, don't worry, although I mortgage this house for a few days, I will return it when the time comes." I am the patriarch, and I will never cheat you. ”
The meaning is obvious, my character is much better than that family.
At this time, Sisi ran in with a smile, "Grandpa Patriarch, you are really a good person." The two thumbs gestured vigorously back and forth, "Mother, don't hurry up and cut two catties of meat, if you want to be fat, then play two catties of wine, and leave the patriarch's grandfather to eat, the patriarch's grandfather This is for us to help you, we have to do our best."
Patriarch Grandpa, wait, I'll catch a chicken, my mother's chicken is fragrant. ”
This temptation is too great, these days, where can ordinary people eat meat, and there are chickens, after all, the patriarch is also a farmer's family, and it is no exception, so he gladly agreed.
When she got outside, Sisi pulled the Liu family and muttered in a low voice, "Mother, when you go to buy meat, you will pass by the door of the flower goddess Feng Qiaozui's house." ”
Liu muttered, she didn't have the slightest bit of a guy who had seen countless worlds in three lifetimes.
"That's far away."
"Oh, you just do it."
Liu Shi is a sincere person, and soon bought all the wine and meat, and the meat was quickly stewed. Just as the patriarch was holding up the wine glass, the door was kicked open.
"Wow, this is a human thing?"
The patriarch was so frightened that his hands shook and a cup of wine spilled all over his clothes.
