Chapter 118: Protecting the Calf
Followed by the harvest of corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes, Qian Yijin also had a three-day farm vacation. Now there is no need for Wu, Qian Manxia and Qian Yijin to do farm work, Wu and Qian Yijin only need to give some guidance on the side. It was only two acres of land, and it didn't take long for Huang Tie and Qian Hua to get things done.
After harvesting the crops, the land was not rented out, but was kept for a few days to grow winter wheat for his own food.
Then, the fields from Mengxi Village were also handed over. On that day, Qian Sangui went to Mengxi Village accompanied by Huang Tie and Qian Hua, signed a lease deed with the tenants there, and was called Master Qian by the tenants. In the future, sixty percent of the output in these fields will be his own, and Qian Sangui's face was slightly red with excitement.
When he passed by the entrance of Mengxi Village on his way home, he asked Qian Hua to get out of the car to cut two catties of pork, and he sat on the ox cart and waited.
I heard the villagers passing by talking about how the landlord was. Qian Sangui couldn't stop laughing, he has now become a landlord of money in the mouths of others like Landlord Zhang and Landlord Fang. It's like a dream.
After going home, he asked Mrs. Qian, Qian Dagui and Qian Ergui to drink and eat meat, and Huang Tie and Qian Hua sat on the small table next to them to drink together.
Wu, who has become a landlord's wife, is also happy, thinking that from next year, most of the output in the field will go to his own family, which is really a surplus of food in his heart.
As soon as the day enters autumn, it gradually gets a little cooler. Qian Yixiu now only has two sets of clothes that can be worn, one is a peach-colored muslin dress and the other is a blue coarse cloth trousers, both of which were made this summer. For the sake of the long-term, I have done a little bit of growth, not only can I wear it when I grow taller and fatter, but I can also wear it when it is cold.
But the old clothes are a little small and uncomfortable to wear. There are many patches on it, and it is open-minded. She had said a few times before that she wanted to make two more sets of new clothes. But the Wu family didn't agree, saying that there was nothing but Jinwa at home. She had plenty of new clothes. Qian Manxia's clothes didn't cost anything, and Qian Sangui, Wu, and Cheng Yue only had a set of newly made coarse cloth clothes.
She complained to Qian Sangui again, and Qian Sangui also agreed with Wu's idea, there are many people in the family, and they have to pay their wages in addition to eating, and life is a little tight. She just needs to wear it, and there is really no need to be so particular. The few pieces of fabric at home should be kept and made slowly.
Today, seeing that the landlord was happy, his face was flushed, and Qian Yixiu made up his mind to ask for new clothes while his grandfather was happy. Wait for Qian Yijin to send Mrs. Qian and others out of the hospital. She pulled Qian Sangui's clothes and said, "The landlord of Qian and the landlords of other families all wear silk clothes, but the landlords of our family don't even have a muslin coat." Gee. There is no landlord style at all. ”
Qian Sangui knows his granddaughter's thoughts. smiled, "Xiu'er doesn't understand, right?" The vast majority of landlords have saved their money, and they are much more generous than them. Ye eats meat every day, and they don't see meat once in half a month. It's that set of silk clothes, most of which are face-tight, and they are only worn when they go out. ”
Qian Yixiu was depressed, didn't there still be so much silver at home. Why do they only think about living a good material life, but they don't think about improving their spiritual life?
Cheng Yue saw her daughter pouting and walked out of the hall. A moment later, he walked in with a piece of satin. said, "Dad." Mother, Yue'er's duck is embroidered. If the silver is sold, give Xiu'er a tael of silver, and then make two silk clothes for Xiu'er. ”
Wu sighed, "Give her a tael of silver, and make two silk clothes, how much is the embroidery of two ducks worth?" ”
Qian Yixiu took the embroidery in the hands of the little lady, and saw that although the pattern was not complicated, the color was elegant, the embroidery was fine, and the duck was lifelike.
couldn't help but praise, "It's so good-looking, it can still be sold for a few taels of silver." As he spoke, he turned it over and looked at it, and he stumbled, "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly...... It turned out to be double-sided embroidery! Oh my God, my mother is so capable! ”
When Wu heard this, he quickly took the embroidery and looked at it repeatedly, and said happily, "It's so good, it's so good!" Yue'er is capable, and can embroider on both sides, this embroidery will definitely sell for a good price. ”
Cheng Yue said again, "Well, I sold the silver, gave Xiu'er a tael, and then made two silk clothes for her." I was afraid that Wu's refusal, so I hurriedly said, "Yue'er and Jinwa don't want it, just give Xiu'er alone." ”
Two sets of clothes can be considered, anyway, there are still materials at home, but the Wu family doesn't want to give it. said, "Clothes can be made for Xiu'er, but she is a little baby, why do you want so much money?" ”
Cheng Yue saw that her mother-in-law disagreed, so anxious that tears welled up, and said, "Yue'er likes embroidery, and when she sees embroidery, Yue'er is sad, and Yue'er is so heartbroken that she can't even sleep." ”
Seeing this, Qian Sangui said to the Wu family, "My daughter-in-law has been married into the family for so long, and she has never asked for anything for herself, she just wants to give her daughter some silver to make two sets of clothes, just like her daughter-in-law's wish." ”
Wu said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll go get it." ”
After speaking, he went to the house very generously and took a few silver horns and handed them to Qian Yixiu, "Here you go, don't spend it indiscriminately." ”
Qian Yixiu was holding the hard-won silver horns, full of emotion. The little lady has worked hard for so long, but she still shed tears to ask for it. It's not silver, it's the love of red fruits.
She hugged Cheng Yue and said, "Thank you, mother." ”
Cheng Yue laughed, "Xiu'er is happy, and my mother is happy." ”
At the end of the next day, Wu, who went to the county seat to sell embroidery, came back happily. Qian Yixiu opened the door and said with a smile, "Look at the milk is so happy, my mother's embroidery must have been sold for a good price." ”
After returning to the house, Wu drank water, then took out his purse from his bosom and said, "Well, it was sold for thirty-five taels of silver." The golden shopkeeper said that the double-sided embroidery is exquisite, good-looking, and the fabric is good, and the size is just right to make a small insert or kang screen. ”
Mrs. Qian knew that today the Wu family went to sell the double-sided embroidery embroidered by Cheng Yue, so she came here to wait. After hearing how big his mouth was, he said, "No matter how good it is, it's just embroidery, and the money from selling it is more than the farmer's income in ten years!" ”
Qian Sangui said with a smile, "My mother doesn't know that when I was running darts, I also stook an embroidery worth a thousand taels, and it is said that the embroidery is the size of half a room." ”
Mrs. Qian sighed for a long time, turned her head to look at Cheng Yue, and showed a smile for the first time, "Well, yes, our Qian family also married a clever daughter-in-law." ”
In addition to putting her children and a few people in the third room in her heart, Cheng Yue ignored everyone else. She ignored Mrs. Qian's overtures, and told Wu about the conditions and said, "Yue'er embroiders better again, and earns silver to buy girls for Xiu'er." ”
The old lady was already unhappy because she was ignored, and when she heard this, she was even more unhappy, and scolded, "What about dreams, I have already bought so many idle meals, what else do you buy?" A little mud leg, and he specially asked for a girl, and he laughed off his big teeth. ”
Cheng Yue said stiffly, "Yue'er likes Jinwa and embroidery." Jinwa has a small girl, and Xiu'er must have a girl. (To be continued.) )
